    Many thanks to Stipe for a fantastic day on the water! The boat was very spacious and well-equipped – with everything you need: a toilet, a SUP, and chilled drinks. Stipe navigated beautiful bays and tailored the itinerary to our wishes. We were a group of 10 adults and two young children (2 and 4 years old), and everyone had a wonderful time. An unforgettable day – highly recommended!

    The boat met all expectations for its age; a 5-star rating is a fair assessment from a knowledgeable owner. The cruise was peaceful, even soothing. You could relax, sunbathe, and swim. You could see a bit of Croatia from a different, and in my opinion, better, side.

    We booked Stipe for 12 people. He was waiting for us at the harbor on time and explained the route to us. The trip was perfect for us. He reserved a table for us at a tavern, which was delicious but priced higher. A week later, we booked Stipe and his boat again, and he was flexible enough to accommodate our requests. This time, instead of going to the more expensive restaurant, we went to a simple burger joint right next door. That worked for us, too. So, if you're expecting a speedboat and want to zoom across the ocean, you've come to the wrong place. But if you just want to enjoy the trip, Stipe is the right place for you. Thanks, Stipe, for the two great days on the water! PS: The boat is really big, you don't get in each other's way.

    It was a wonderful day with a very friendly guide, Stipe. We all had plenty of space on the boat—there were 10 of us in total—and we had plenty of moorings. Stipe discussed the tour with us at the beginning and then drove us to beautiful swimming bays. We were all very satisfied. Thank you, Stipe, for this wonderful day.

    Fantastic day with Stipe, highly recommended. He knows the area very well and adapted the route according to wind, our preferences etc. Great lunch in Zlarin at Restaurant Aldura but it took time to get the food so if you want to maximize time on the boat you should look for something else.

    An Unforgettable Day We had the most wonderful boat trip today with Stipe as our skipper. He was warm, welcoming, and full of local knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble. He even helped us change our lunchtime restaurant booking at short notice to make sure we had the best experience. The day itself was magical. We swam in crystal-clear waters, snorkelled in quiet coves, and explored some truly stunning islands along the Dalmatian coast. Everything felt relaxed, well organised, and tailored perfectly for the six of us. We laughed, we explored, we soaked up the sun, and we loved every minute of it. We had such a great time that we didn’t hesitate to book a second trip with Stipe in two days’ time. That says it all. Thank you, Stipe, for all your advice and for giving us such a fantastic day. We’re already counting down to the next one. — The Six Very Happy Travellers 😊

    We had a wonderful day on the boat with Stipe! Stipe was an excellent host: professional, friendly, and very flexible. He adjusted the route according to what our group wanted, and the boat itself was perfect with plenty of space for all 11 of us. Everyone especially loved the sunbeds on the roof, where we could relax and enjoy the sunshine. The only (half)downside of the day was our lunch stop at Restaurant Aldura. Restaurant is a bit fancy and although the food was delicious, the food service was extremely slow. Despite there being only two other tables besides our group, it took them way more than an one hour for everyone to be served. Considering the entire boat trip is about seven hours, losing two of those in a restaurant felt disproportionate. Off course, this has nothing to do with Stipe, but was part of our trip. In the future, if we go again with Stipe (which I highly recommend!), we’ll likely skip the sit-down restaurant and instead opt for a quick bite at a snack bar or a casual spot on the island. That way, we can spend more time enjoying the sea and less time waiting around. To summarize: • Stipe & the boat: Fantastic! Highly recommended. • Restaurant Aldura: Great food, but food service is very slow – plan for a two-hour stop if you're going with a group. Thank you again, Stipe, for the great memories!

The day is exciting and relaxing with visits to some amazing bays and very interesting islands and villages. I truly recommend it, whether you are a family with children or just a group of friends this will be your best day out in Croatia!!!

    This is the perfect trip in area Sibenik and close islands. Captain and owner Stipe is a nice man and took us to some wonderful spots including giving information about it. Boat is perfect for relaxing, swimming, snorkeling and using the sub. It is an older boat , but really perfect for this kind of day trips.

The boat was brilliant for families as very spacious with everything you needed on board. We all gave 10/10. Would 100% recommend and certainly do it again if we returned to this area.

Stipe knows the most beautiful places on the islands to swim! Be sure to let him book the restaurant for the afternoon (Konoba Aldura on the island of Zlarin): fantastic food, super friendly service and nice seating. Thank you Stipe for this beautiful memory!

    We had a lovely day aboard this characterful boat visiting various islands from Sibenik. The boat was perfect for three families (with six kids between 7 - 12) with lots of space to sit of lounge out and a large covered deck at the rear. The kids really enjoyed jumping off from the front and using the paddle board. A great hire overall.

We were on the boat with 2 families (4 adults and 5 children + 1 dog) and had a lot of space. The boat is very well maintained and treated with love. You feel right at home. would we do it again In any case. Stipe allows a trip to bays where you are almost alone and not fighting for the best place with many other tourist boats. Thanks again for the nice day!!!

    We had an unforgettable day on Stipe’s beautiful boat. We were a group of 9 with kids ages 4-20. The day couldn’t have been better. Stipe welcomed us and made us feel at home right away. He is extremely proud of his boat and takes meticulous care of it. It really is a masterpiece. He is extremely skilled in the water and we all felt very safe. Stipe is also very friendly, was great with the kids, and made the day so much fun for everyone. He organized stops at beautiful bays for swimming and a fabulous lunch at a lovely restaurant. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more. We would definitely come back for another day with Stipe on our next visit. Book now - you will be so happy you did!

    We booked Stipe's boat as a group of 3 families with children aged 9-15. It really was an almost perfect tour! Stipe picked us up in Vodice (after an uncomplicated telephone agreement). We made stops on 2 islands and at beautiful bathing bays. He had arranged the tour with us before we set off. Despite its age, the boat is really well maintained and clean. The space on deck and below deck is very generous and was more than sufficient for our group. Don't expect a speedboat here, of course, but it's perfect for a relaxing day at sea. The only negative point was the restaurant he suggested for lunch. We really had to wait a long time for the main courses. This was very unfortunate because some of us had only ordered appetizers, which didn't come quickly either, but came a long way before. Otherwise really a great day on a great boat with a great skipper. Thanks very much !

The boat was very clean, well maintained and comfortable, with plenty of room for all of us to stretch out in comfort. Stipe was very informative and knowledgeable about the area, and we would gladly recommend him to others. We had a great time all around!!
