Where to begin… Our week sailing with skipper Romano and hostess Andrea was an unforgettable, amazing experience. From getting on the boat until we (sadly) said goodbye, every moment was tailored to our personal tastes and preferences. The crew got to know us personally. Each day brought a new journey that Romano picked perfectly for us… whether it was a day of floating/swimming in the most beautiful coves, having a delicious lunch and great cocktails at beach bars, exploring the gorgeous islands of Croatia, and where we were eating dinner that evening. The hardest decision we had to make all week was what time we wanted lunch served. Speaking of lunch, Andrea was an elite hostess. Not only did she prepare the most gorgeous spreads ...

Amazing experience! Romano found us such beautiful spot in secluded and uncrowded coves all week. His local knowledge is second to none. Expect crystal blue waters, beautiful snorkels, perfect recommendations for restaurants, and top tips for towns to explore on land. We were lucky enough to spot 10+ dolphins in our passages! Even with some unpredictable storms swirling around the Croatian coastline, he adapted our itinerary with ease and found us great experiences on land. Would choose him as our expert skipper for any trip. Živjeli Romano!

We hit the jackpot having Romano and Andy as our skipper and hostess. This was our first time in Croatia and the first time chartering a boat for a vacation. Visiting a new country and traveling in a completely different way, proposes certain challenges and uncertainties. We were assured our skipper would assist in curating an itinerary unique to our desires and preferences. We assumed he would be knowledgeable and helpful. We never dreamed he would plan every detail of our day. We told him we would like a mixture of local culture with a balance of time on the boat. Boy did he deliver. We were treated to experiences only a local could suggest and book. Romano took cues from us and figured out very quickly ...

Do you want to learn how to handle a large Catamaran yourself, Marko is your perfect instructor! Of course you should already have experiences with a monohull. Marko is not only a nice and friendly person, a very good and pleasant skipper, but he is also a perfect instructor. Marko joined us a few days to make us acquainted with a large catamaran so we built the confidence to handle the ship ourselves. Marko’s advice, clear instructions and also exercises we performed really gave us the confidence we required to handle the ship. Also support from Marko on nice places to go to was great! Thanks to Marko we had a perfect & safe week on a Lagoon 50!

Great experience, highly recommend. Croatia is so beautiful and there are so many islands to visit. My family personally likes to go to more quiet islands and be surrounded with nature and it was perfect, every day was like a dream waking up in a new spot, basically alone, enjoying the sun and the ocean. We got an amazing crew, big shoutout to Romano and Matea that made our week so smooth and comfortable!! Such a professional team and such lovely people that made us feel right at home. Bonus: Romano had a goPro and a drone we got to play with:))

Spectacular and breathtaking trip with Top Croatia Sailing. Amazing places and experiences that will last for a lifetime of memories. A luxurious and relaxing experience. 100/100

Our week with Romano and Silvia couldn't have been better. Across many charters and boat experiences we've never had a more kind, caring and competent crew. They listened to and filled our desires at every turn and took us to many hidden spots that were beautiful and free of many other boats, and Silvia's breakfasts and lunches every day were as good as many of the great restaurants we stopped at for dinner. Anyone who is chartering a boat for a week or two would be extremely lucky to do so with Romano and/or Silvia. A relaxing, easy-going, and perfectly executed experience all around. 10/10.

Romano (Roma) was an amazing skipper, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. He had some excellent recommendations for swimming, over night bays, private restaurants and a whole lot more. I would recommend Romano to anybody who is looking for a skipper.

Channa Rogsten

We had the absolute pleasure of spending nearly two unforgettable weeks sailing with Captain Romano and his wonderful crew this summer, and it was hands down one of the best summer experiences we have ever had! Originally, we planned to stay for just one week, but we were so blown away by the incredible time we were having that we extended our trip for an additional week. If that’s not a testament to how amazing Top Croatia Sailing is, I don’t know what is :) Romano didn’t just take us to stunning locations for swimming, but also guided us to some of the most fabulous restaurants, making sure we experienced the local culture and cuisine to the fullest. His ability to find the perfect ...

Rasmus Flink

Wow... where to begin?! Simply put, we had the best week with Romano and Silvia. Romano's local knowledge took us to 10/10 family restaurants (every night!?) and hidden gems for swimming/exploring on land. Silvia cooked the most amazing food and took great care of the group in general. And perhaps as important they're both incredibly nice and fun to be around :) 10/10

Debra Kocher

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.

Blake Johnson

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.
