We have just returned from the most amazing holiday sailing the Northern Explorer route on a Lagoon 450 Catamaran with Trev (Skipper) and Paul (Chef/Host). They were without doubt the “Dream Team”! Trev was an experienced, skilful and professional skipper who planned each day to ensure we saw as much of the Croatian islands and coves as possible. We stopped each day in a small bay or sheltered cove to enjoy lunch and swim in the beautiful clear waters. Evenings were spent in marinas with great facilities and villages or towns steeped in history with lots of options for eating and drinking. Trev’s handling of the boat was exceptional somehow manoeuvring it with ease into busy marinas and we always felt safe and secure in his hands. Paul was the most talented chef who created and served the most delicious meals from the smallest kitchen. Every meal (breakfast and lunch) was a culinary delight, full of flavour and presented beautifully. His passion for food was always evident and we couldn’t have asked for more. We managed to get a few tips and will definitely be trying to replicate some of the dishes back in our real world! We absolutely loved our holiday and can’t thank Trev and Paul enough for making it such an unforgettable experience!

Had a wonderful holiday with Dal and Oscar in Greece! They are a dream team, both so friendly making us immediately feel comfortable for our week together. They both have fun stories to share, keeping us entertained and they coordinated all of the restaurant and activity reservations for us so we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. Oscar’s cooking was divine and beautifully presented, and he has such a sunny personality, always a delight to be around. Dal is equally amazing, so calm yet very professional and you always felt safe, bending over backwards for us, nothing was too much trouble. He is an amazing skipper, always calm and collected even when it was very rough one day or trying to get into tight spots. When other captains raced to go from one port to the other because they thought it was too windy to stop, Dal still took the time and effort to find small bays to tuck into for sheltered swimming and cave visiting, really giving us lovely, varied days and we never missed a beat despite the winds. We would very happily go on another Yacht Getaways if we could have Dal or Oscar leading the tour! They made the trip!

It was a pleasure to have Matt as skipper and Ellen as hostess during this fabulous cruise in Croatia. Matt was a great teacher. His navigation tips will be very useful. And Ellen's healthy cooking, always beautifully presented, was delicious. The catamaran was very comfortable and relatively spacious. Two suggestions though: - equip the bathrooms with air fresheners to remove unpleasant odors. - install a whiteboard where the different activities, attractions and recommended restaurants of the next stop are proposed. All in all, we will keep an excellent memory of this week. Patrick

Fantastic week on board Dorka V with Livi and Richard. Great mix of organised dinners, outings and swimming / snorkelling / paddle boarding opportunities. Croatia provided an ideal location for seeing beautiful scenery, good local cuisine and consistently good weather.

My husband and I had the best week celebrating my and my friends birthday sailing in Croatia with Matt and Ellen. Ellen was a spectacular host anticipating all of your needs, treating you with pure kindness, and cooking delicious meals. Matt kept us safe sailing through the seas, showed us the beauty of Croatia, and was willing to teach us about sailing. They made our week, our holiday, our year. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Wow wow wow! We had THE best week sailing the Croatian islands! Our skipper Matt stopped at the most beautiful swimming spots, our host ELLEN made the most wonderful food and we made friends with the loveliest people during our week! Couldn’t recommend it more! Can’t wait to do it again! From the Aussies, Sammy and Charlie!

Wow what can we say! Just had the most amazing week with Ellen and Matt. They could not be more accommodating and made sure we had the best holiday. We will certainly be rebooking! Thanks so much guys

We sailed in Croatia from Dubrovnik to Split July 2, 2022 on a 45 foot catamaran. We have traveled a lot and would rate this as one of our best trips. Ana and Livvy went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met, from Ana posting every morning the days plans to Livvy’s culinary skills. We are already looking to do another Yachtgetaway vacation. Joan and Jim

We had an absolutely amazing holiday on the Croatia explorer route with Yacht Getaways. Our crew Richard and Livi were wonderful! The food was fantastic, they handled restaurant and taxi reservations and made recommendations for bars and other fun excursions. Livi even made a cake for my sisters birthday. I would definitely say this is the best way to see Croatia! Also highly recommend the Lagoon 45 Catamaran for this trip, it comfortably fit our party of 8 adults.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Croatia with Richard, Liv and Sophie as crew. We visited some incredible places, had the most amazing experiences and loved it. Sophie cooked a yummy banana cake and Richard showed me the ropes… facilities could be updated but otherwise a fabulous holiday - thank you
