Ellen and Dal were great and took care…
Ellen and Dal were great and took care of all our needs. The catamaran had plenty of room and we never felt crowded. The tour was amazing and the food outstanding. The evenings on the islands were fantastic.
Ellen & Dal we’re the perfect hosts
Ellen & Dal we’re the perfect hosts. Dal altered the route to take advantage of better weather and Ellen prepared spectacular breakfasts and lunches. Their recommendations for things to do and restaurants at each stop were spot on. Plenty of time to swim at more remote spots. Thank you both for a great trip.
The best week ever!!
Had the most amazing week on the cyclades explorer. The captain dal and host Ellen were so fabulous, made you feel so at home and would literally do anything for you. The food Ellen cooked us for breakfast and lunch was just divine, better than some restaurants we visited. They were super friendly and funny and professional and work so so hard, almost 24/7 and they made our week so fabulous! We visited some amazing islands and they had loads of recommendations of things to do and see. Could not recommend this trip enough.
Trip of a lifetime!
This was our first time on yacht getaways though we have done a small sailing cruise in the past. Our week in the Cyclades on board the catamaran was a trip of a lifetime and we could not have been happier. Dal and Ellen, the captain and host, were absolutely amazing going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we could possibly need. They took great care of us and made our holiday one we will never forget. I highly recommend this tour and hope to sail with yacht getaways again next year.
Amazing crew on very tired boat
Amazing crew who made the trip what we hoped it would be. Extra stop offs, early set off for sunrise and fabulous food, along with tips for each place we visited. 5 stars for them both. The catamaran was a let down. Photos you see when you book do not match the bedrooms at all, very different in reality and we had faulty items throughout the very tired boat including a faulty main sail. The response from Yacht Getaways of "we should have found another solution due to multiple problems on board so I do apologise that your holiday was negatively impacted. We have been working with some new charter companies which have caused delays in certain areas, as well as sourcing new parts being an issue where once they were more readily available. This should not, however, be something which affects our guest's experience." No recompense just 10% off another booking. No thanks. A luxury catamaran it wasn't, service from the crew and locations definitely was what saved it.
Fantastic
We had a great week sailing from Dubrovnik to Trogir. Alice the host provided us with a great breakfast and lunch each day. Always something different and she was very cheerful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The skipper was Tomo who again found some great places for lunch swim stops and helped with restaurant recommendations in the evenings. He let us help with the sailing and answered and questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better skipper. Overall a very enjoyable holiday and I would recommend it to anybody.
Excellent tour- Ana and Alice were great!
Excellent tour- Ana, our skipper was fantastic and very adept at keeping us out of the weather and finding great sheltered towns to visit. (Weather forecast was rain all week!) Alice, our chef, was delightful and truly an excellent cook. She accommodated our different diet restrictions expertly. Thanks to both of them for a great time!
Dubrovnik to Split on Beautiful Water
We took a Lagoon 450F catamaran from Dubrovnik to Split (Trogir) and had a wonderful time with our friends and the crew. We very much enjoyed our Captain, Matt, who was quite affable and worked to ensure that we had a good time while always keeping safety first. Although this was a “box trip” (specific start point, end point, and duration) there was some flexibility in between and Matt would consult us on our interests and the plan for the day. This was our second sailing adventure; the first trip was without a hostess. Alice was our hostess on this trip and added to it greatly. The consensus was that any future trips should have a hostess like Alice. The water in Croatia was incredibly clear, calm, beautiful, and just the right temp to leave the neoprene packed. I have seen more sea life in other locations, but never better water. I also recommend Dubrovnik (the old city) as a great place to spend a few days before sailing. It is picturesque, interesting, easy to walk around in, and a good place to relax while getting over jet-lag.
Excellent Sailing Holiday
We had a delightful week aboard Dorka V, sailing from Trogir (Split) to Dubrovnik. The whole experience was enhanced by the outstanding duo of Davide as skipper and Katy as host. The hospitality of the crew was excellent and the food fabulous. Not to mention the beautiful places and unspoilt coastline we visited. It was our first experience of a sailing holiday, but we will definitely be back for more. Thank you.
An amazing adventure
An amazing adventure! Sophie and Claire were wonderful and made it the best trip to Turkey! I highly recommend traveling with Yacht Getaways.
