We could not have asked for a better captain for our group, and a better human being! Romano is not only a very competent and talented sailor, but he also knows so many great locations for swimming or hiking or just enjoying the beauty of the Croatian coastline. He was very good at listening to what our interests were, and then adding his own suggestions for things that would be fun to see or do. This included visits to Hvar, cliff jumping, a gorgeous waterside bar/restaurant, great places for dinner and many beautiful coves for swimming. By the end of the week, Romano was really just part of our family, easy going, available, fun, and funny. We look forward to seeing him again soon either on our home turf, or his home waters.

We LOVED our experience with Romano. As a local, he is so knowledgeable about the islands, sailing, boats, hikes, runs, restaurants, swimming spots and more. Within just a few hours, he felt like family. He listened to our requests and made our dream trip come true! I highly highly recommend booking with him. He's easy-going, funny & fun, speaks great English, friendly, and he wants to help the people on his boats learn about the history and culture of Croatia. I cannot imagine what our trip would have been like if we had booked a different captain/skipper.

If you're looking for a sailing trip which fulfills all your wishes - this is the right address! Marko and i went for sailing with different crew members twice. I can tell you both trips were amazing where we visited beautiful hidden spots. And it makes such a huge difference in Croatia to have a skipper who knows the inhabitants, the owners of the good restaurants and respects the culture. Marko is one of the highest professional skippers I've ever met, who is also totally flexible and all the time a right hand to you. He is not just a skipper - now i call him a friend!

We just had an amazing sailing week and created lovely memories for a lifetime. Our perfect skipper Romano was everything you could ask for- attentive, very skilled, calm, funny and super planner. Cruising and sailing at 3 islands, tasting wine at local farm, having super dinners every evening and moonlight dances. What more could you ask for🙂 Romano organized all dinners, island tours. Just name it and he delivers it. Our 1st sailing experience was unforgettable and we will definitely return. If you book a sailing tour, please book Romano as your skipper.

Romano was the absolute BEST skipper. He's welcoming, knowledgable, friendly, and very good at his job. Our crew felt so safe with him in charge during the duration of our charter, and since he grew up in Croatia, he has tons of knowledge and history to share about all the locations we sailed to. Additionally, he gave great recommendations on things to do and places to visit during our trip. We got to explore some really awesome spots that we wouldn't have known about if it weren't for him. I'm definitely going back to Croatia and I am definitely requesting Romano again.

Marko is the best!!!! Our two trips with Marko were absolutely fantastic. Not only is Marko a really nice person , he is also a great skipper and knows the water like no other. He always found nice little secluded bays for us when we wanted to be alone, but also found nice little villages when we wanted to have diner somewhere. Marko likes sailing. He will give you the wheel and train you , but always with safety in mind. My family and I like Marko, and he I will always be my skipper in Croatia.

Joško Lukin

I am bit late with this but will feel guilty if did not write about our sailing experience with Romano! To make it clear, it is rather hard to impress guest that lives on Dalmatian island but Romano exceeded all expectations! Including dolphins coming to our boat.... Hope to meet again and soon with strong recommendations to all that want to have unforgettable saiiling experiences. Just relax and let Romano take care of all!

Domenic Mantella

Our group had an absolutely wonderful experience with our one week catamaran cruise. Our crew was unbelievably accomodating and helpful. Romano & Anna Maria made sure that we were enjoying ourselves & also provided helpful insight & suggestions regarding our locale. We had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely work with Top Croatia Sailing, as well with Romano & Anna Maria. We are definitely recommending this cruise to our friends & will request the same team again.

Darío Stern

Awesome experience! Romano, our captain, was a very proficient skipper. He also had the ability to understand what we wanted and create an itinerary to achieve our expectations. Hidden spots, cozy towns and magical places were part of the trip. His timing to show up and dissapear was also an advantage. Last but not least Romano was fun and friendly to all of us. If you plan to navigate the Adriatic you should contact this agency. We will never forget our vacation in Croatia. Once again thank you Captain!

Francisco Trindade

Romano and Marko were the skippers from two of our boats in our recent Split trip and the experience could not have been better! Romano catered for our asks and creates an itinerary that was amazing, showing us places off the beaten track that made our trip unique. It was the best trip i had yet and i know that others in my group have the same view.

Jelena

Romano - the jewel of the Adriatic Sea! He filled our trip with unforgettable moments! Very cultured, attentive, unique, sincere, unobtrusive, relaxed, and ready to help, confident in his work, always smiling! We are very happy that we met a person who truly touched our hearts with his kindness and that he carefully planned beautiful activities and created memorable moments for us! Thanks a lot Romano

Harol Lainez

Romano was a great skipper, super fun and friendly to all his guest. Very knowledgeable and professional. We always had somewhere to go, he provided us with good recommendations around the Dalmatian coast and we’re pleased with all the cool spots he suggested. I would highly recommend him and his team if you are looking for an amazing sailing experience.

Morgan Ranieri

Thanks Marko, Romano and the rest of the crew for a super fun week at sea!

Dominique Pasols

Romano is thee best Skipper! He was super knowledgeable about Croatia so he made our trip extremely memorable! He has a fun personality so it's like he's one of your friends who happens to know EVERYTHING about yachts while at the same time taking his job seriously so you feel completely safe! Would definitely recommend sailing with him!

Yvette Ross

Romano, our skipper, was worth his weight in GOLD. We had an amazing time thanks to him. From taking us to the most beautiful swim spots around the different islands to recommending the best places to eat for the freshest seafood, he played such a huge role in making our adventure so memorable. He is trustworthy, has perfect intuition (he figured out what we liked almost instantly !) and my 2 kids adored him. Hands down the best skipper! Get ready for us next summer, Romano. We will be back!

Miriam Spritzer

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Romano, Marko and the team were really outstanding. They went out of their way to make sure all of us were enjoying the trip. The itinerary they put together was truly amazing, from the every day life on the boat, to the on land activities. Every suggestion was just perfect. Highly recommend!

Jan

Marco is an excellent skipper, very professional, highly skilled and will always go an extra mile to make sure his clients are completely satisfied with all aspects of their sailing experience. We have already been on two memorable sailing adventures with Marco and can't wait for our next one coming up later on this season.

Brooke Smith

Frequently asked questions

Is the itinerary of the charter fixed
No, the itinerary is not fixed. It can change based on weather conditions, so flexibility is key. We also welcome any specific wishes from travelers, but keep in mind that changes may still occur due to weather.
Can I rent a boat for less than a week?
Yes, in the off-season (October - April), it's possible to organize a several-day-long sailing trip, with pricing based on the number of days on board. During high-season (June, July, August, early September, and late May), it's more challenging due to high demand, and you'll likely be charged for a full week.
Is early check-in possible for the boat?
Early check-in may be possible depending on marina crowd levels. If arriving before the standard check-in time (usually around 5 PM), notify us in advance so we can try to make arrangements.
When should the boat be returned to the marina?
The boat should be back at the base on Friday afternoon/evening, with an overnight stay until Saturday morning between 8 AM and 9 AM for check-out. If any crew members are hired, the boat must return by Friday evening no later than 18:00.
Can guests on board be changed during the trip?
Yes, guest changes on board are possible but must be indicated in advance for the crew list. Any sudden changes during the trip require immediate notification to the charter agency for a new verified crew list.
What precautions should be taken for children on board?
Children should be closely monitored, wear life vests, and stay in safe areas like the cockpit. Consider bringing baby food, fitting life jackets, and planning shorter routes for their comfort.
