We recently completed a four-day sailing cruise and loved it. Our skipper, Mario, was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we stepped aboard. He took us to beautiful bays, charming towns, and crystal-clear anchorages, and there was plenty of time for fun swimming stops and paddle boarding in the calm waters. The sailboat was beautiful, comfortable, and the trip was well organized while still relaxing. A fantastic way to experience the Dalmatian coastline… we would gladly book again and highly recommend!!

4 days, 3 nights, and I would have ecstatically done it all over again immediately! A beautiful and perfectly appointed sailboat, a skipper who loves to sail, and arguably some of the most beautiful beaches and charming villages in the world. Sailing in Croatia is truly a bucket list experience and am so grateful to have found Dubrovnik Sail Away. I hope to return as soon as possible!

We spent three days on the sailboat with Mario, and it was absolutely amazing. The boat is fantastic, incredibly spacious, and has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Mario is hands down the best skipper you could ask for – professional, laid-back, and he made sure we had the best time. If you’re thinking about booking, just do it. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing time on this sailing trip and honestly it ended up being one of the best parts of our vacation. The boat was beautiful, very comfortable and perfect for a relaxing day at sea. Mario was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and he created such a fun and easygoing atmosphere throughout the whole trip. We stopped at some stunning spots for swimming and the views along the coast were absolutely incredible. Everything was very well organized but still felt personal and relaxed, which made the experience even better. You can really tell they enjoy what they do and care about making sure everyone has a great time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Dubrovnik and looking for a memorable day on the water. We would happily book again!!

I experienced a few days on this beautiful private sailing yacht that felt like a true escape. Time slows down and the experience unfolds at its own pace. Definitely no rush, no pressure, only the joy of being on the water. Cardea is such a beautiful Jeanneau 53 in excellent condition. Stylish, spacious, and finished with real attention to detail. Comfort is clearly a priority. Everything on board feels thoughtful and well balanced. Skipper Mario is so experienced, brings calm and genuine care. He shares local knowledge about the area, coast and sea, in a natural way, adding depth without interrupting the flow. Safety is constant and reassuring. The trip was so well organised and always under control. Present throughout the entire stay. The hospitality on board is amazing. Warm, attentive and effortless. Every detail feels considered. Hvala Mario and team. Cardea offers such a complete experience. It is private, comfortable and shaped with care. Highly recommended. Five stars, without hesitation.

We had the most incredible experience on Cardea with Mario. It was an incredible privilege to sail with such an experienced, passionate and generous skipper. The boat is beautiful, thoughtfully designed and so comfortable in every way. Mario is kind, thoughtful and a wealth of knowledge of the sea, his beautiful boat and a local to the area. His recommendations, both of restaurants and the area, his thoughtfulness and his company went above and beyond any expectations we could have ever had. We cannot wait to do it all again next year!!

We can't even begin to describe what an incredible honor it was to take a 3 day voyage on Mario's extraordinary sail boat with him as our captain. We spent 2 beautiful nights and 3 unforgettable days sailing the adriatic sea from Split down to Dubrovnik. Mario is the epitome of a captain. He is beyond knowledgable, calm and easy going. No matter where you want to go, whatever island, restaurant or secret cove - he will lead you there! We could not have asked for a better family trip on Mario's beautiful boat, "Cardea". We will no doubt be back on it again next year. So y'all better not book up all the dates!!! ;)
