Customer Reviews

Dubrovnik was a great operation, well organised, well equipped and maintained yachts and a superb sailing area. As always, I think it’s the lead boat crew that really make the holiday – professional, knowledgable, helpful and friendly with great briefings and organisation.

I got prompt responses to all my questions prior to our arrival. The check-in process with the office was so smooth and helpful. Our skippers were excellent! Took us to remarkable snorkeling spots, taught us the basics of being at the helm, and were fun to spend time with.

Everything from start to finish – the boat, the lead crew (Joel, Imogen, Miha), the itinerary, free sail day, and final meal were all superb.

Very professional, modern boats, perfect lead crew, lovely ports of stay

Everything, from booking to check-in to check-out, went smoothly. The flotilla crew went above and beyond helping the boats with any issues and made sure we all had a great experience

Base personnel were fantastic. Base itself is clean and has wonderful amenities

The well equipped 44ft modern yacht. The excellent choice of locations in the Ionian Sea and
above all the friendly and helpful services provided by all of the lead crew throughout the week. A special mention must be to lead crew member Malik who deserved our highest praise.

One word. Trust. Let’s flesh that out a bit – arrival to a clean and prepared boat. Their process and systems are well considered given the responsibility of leasing boats to sometimes novices.

We like the great service you provide and the high quality of your yachts.

Es war ein rundum gelungener und wunderschöner Urlaub.

Can speak easily to an advisor

Sunsail Athens personnel where incredibly helpful, knowledgeable ,and accommodating

The flotilla lead crew assistance with reserving berths at quays, Med moorings, technical issues, and social events to meet crews from all over the world all makes for a wonderful Mediterranean sailing experience.

We couldn’t fault one area of the holiday, from booking with Carla – who was so helpful- to the lead crew to the boat itself. Everything was beautifully managed

Superb support team (Imogen, Joel and Davey) and great yacht.

Excellent tuition by Michael for Day Skipper. Gorgeous locations, comfortable boat!

High level of service and quality of boat/condition.

Simply because of the reputation, and easy of my experience thus far and I know the fleets are comparable around the world at other chartering destinations

Facility was top notch as well as staff. We had no issues with our catamaran. Very responsive office during booking process.

The whole package!

We had the most amazing holiday hosted by the great team on the lead boat. Finn and Elle organised every day brilliantly, with great briefings and fun socials. They were always full of energy and it was great to see a team that really enjoys the work they do. Hrvoje the tech was really helpful getting the boats settled every night, and was always there to offer help when we had issues or questions about the boat. The sailing was great with just the right wind on most of the days. Thank you so much for a great week from all of us on Ruby Too!

Fantastic week learning to sail with our wonderful tutor Dave. Weather has been perfect, the boat is very well equipped, provisioned and the whole operation well managed. Exceeded expectations on every level.

This was our first flotilla holiday. I’d been to Marina twice last year to learn to sail with Sunsail and loved the sailing, the Dalmatian coast and islands and the whole experience. We had an instructor, Tadek, to complete my RYA day skipper course and my wife completed the ‘competent crew’ course. There were 12 boats including the lead crew of Filip, Carraig and India. The route was excellent taking in the islands of Solta, Brac and Hvar- c.125 nm in total. Marina and Agana have good restaurants and facilities as did all of our town quay/marina stops. Jelsa, Sesula Bay and Stari Grad were our favourite places. The group evening activities ( which weren’t compulsory) were good fun especially the blind folded dinghy race. The Sunsail staff were fabulous and gave us excellent daily sailing briefings with suggested lunch stops etc. India was a lovely host – so pleasant, professional and friendly. Tadek our instructor, who shared our boat Manitou for the whole week, was incredible. The boat was well equipped with a large bow cabin and an electric winch. Tadek is a great teacher but an even more impressive young man. He was great company on board and when we enjoyed meals together ashore. I now feel totally confident about taking a yacht out on our own especially as part of a flotilla.
We had a brilliant week and will be back next year – possibly on the same flotilla again.

Absolutely fantastic experience with the Sunsail crew, a special mention to Filip, India & Carraig out of Agana Split for 2 weeks of flotilla fun, great sailing and spot on support

The best lead crew ever! Finn, Elanor and Mario were absolutely amazing. They made everything easy and fun. Our catamaran- Calculo was perfect for the four of us. Everything you could hope for in a perfect week with excellent weather and sailing conditions. Loved every minute of it.

We did the Krka flotilla with Finn, Elle, and Mario as our crew. They were the best! So cheerful and helpful. The boat was brand new and very comfortable. We had AC when we were docked and it helped so much. The flotilla itself was amazing. We got to see Croatia from a whole different angle. The little towns we stopped in, were so quint and felt really peaceful. The marinas’ facilities were clean except for one where we stayed on board. The coastline is just breathtaking. What an experience! A must for sea lovers!

They had breakfast and lunch on the boat, and Elle had great suggestions for little restaurants throughout the week. She took care of all the reservations, which made our lives much easier. Finn was super knowledgeable and gave great suggestions for lunch stops where we could anchor and swim.

All and all a very positive experience!

Just completed a fabulous week with friends on the Sunsail Krka flotilla. This was our first experience sailing in Croatia. Despite a last minute route change due to winds, Finn, Elle and Mario took excellent care of us providing not only technical guidance on where best to sail and stop to swim but also looking after social activities and dining recommendations (and reservations).

I had sailed on and off for many years (always with a skipper) and had taken my Day Skipper theory course as a student 34years ago! Now, with retirement approaching my partner and I decided it was time to complete my day skipper course and for her, having never sailed to take on the competent crew course. I retook my theory course with Sunsail’s partner Prometheus. This was challenging but well structured and I completed it the week before. So my theory was fresh but my boat handling very rusty and riddled with bad habits.
We chose Sunsail through family recommendations and for the fact that they could offer a private shower/toilet ( heads) . As it turned out each cabin had a private heads so privacy was not an issue. We met our fellow trainees, a couple from Canada and a new to sailing young woman and our fears of sharing with ‘strangers’ were dismissed almost immediately. As we quickly became firm friends and hugely enjoyed each other’s company both during the busy learning on board and in the evening. Each supporting and complementing each other’s learning.
I would like to save the greatest praise for our instructor Tadeusz ( Tadek ) He is a young man with the wisdom , knowledge and ability of someone much older. He has a calm and friendly nature and excellent teaching skills. He was patient with the newbies and firm when needed. He is also relaxed and fun company. I am sure he has a very bright future.
We had initially planned to do the course in Greece but Croatia proved a beautiful and ideal location and if you are there in June listen out for the nightingales as you rest at anchor in the a beautiful bay and watch the sun go down.

My wife and I just returned from a weeklong charter with Sunsail / The Moorings in the BVI. Our original 46 foot monohull from the Moorings became unavailable due to damage a couple of days before our charter, but the booking team substituted an identical replacement boat from the Sunsail fleet at the last minute.

Our captain, Will Stewart, was the highlight of our trip. With training from the British military and the Royal Yachting Association, he was the perfect captain for us. I wanted to re-acquire my long dormant sailing skills, and by the second day Will turned our charter into an extended sailing school, which is exactly what I was hoping for. A natural teacher whose high standards inspired us to perform our best, Will had us handling most aspects of sailing the boat by the end of our charter.

In addition to his patient instruction, Will coordinated all the details necessary for us to enjoy our trip tremendously, from itinerary planning, to provisioning, to reservations on the nights we dined ashore. On the nights we cooked onboard, Will was a delightful dinner companion for my wife and me.

My wife and I are already planning to come back, this time with friends. We were lucky to have Will as our captain and guide this time, and we will make sure he is with us the next time we sail here.

Our family had a fantastic time in the BVI onboard our Sunsail 424 for a 5 day charter. It had been 30 years since I sailed here (in my single days) and I was excited to share the BVI adventures with my family. From arrival to departure, Sunsail’s customer service was exceptional! Of course, I knew 5 days wouldn’t be enough but my plan work, my family is hooked on sailing vacations and already talking about another Sunsail adventure next year!

Great location and yacht. Flotilla holiday made the sailing a lot more relaxing owing the competence and support of the flottila crew, which advised on the places to stay/stop overnight, and ensure that we had a berth. Finn, Eleanor and Carraig were great.

All aspects of trip from booking, to asking questions, to checking in and checking out went very smoothly. We’ll be back before long.

Superb! We are Sunsail owners, and have used our weeks at bases all over the world. I have to say that the staff at the Belize base was among the best we have ever encountered. There had been some miscommunication about our sleep-aboard the night before our charter, but the base manager and cleaning staff went above and beyond to get the boat ready so we didn’t have to scramble to find a hotel. The boat was impeccable (even with the rush cleaning) and the sailing area was fantastic. Provisioning was easy and delivered promptly. Great experience!

We went sailing for one week on board a Sunsail 454 Premium in Belize . Everything was perfect! Easy booking, the staff at Sunsail Base is extremely helpful and attentive, the boat is impeccable, with everything you need and more, the islands are a dream, snorkeling amazing, with turtles, dolphins , manatees in the most preserved reef in the Caribbean. This is our second time and we highly recommended this for everyone.

Amazing time with Captain Leo and Mike! They took wonderful care of us! Beautiful ride in the lagoon. Learned some great facts about Belize and hope to come again. 🙂

From the moment we booked with Sunsail, everything was very easy. Becky responded to our emails very quickly, was knowlegdable and made arrangements for taxis etc seamlessly. On arrival at Agana the reception staff were very helpful, we could leave our bags and wondered off to have a leisurely lunch. We were lucky to get access to the boat early, a cheerful welcome message with contact details was in the cabin. We met Tadek our skipper and trainer a short while later for a quick introduction. There are too many high points to go through our weeks experience with Tadek, we had the most brilliant time with him and had the most brilliant instruction from him. We started as 2 potential Comp Crew and ended with 1 Day Skipper and 1 Comp Crew. We were ectastic. It is probably the best holiday we have had as a couple in a very long time. There was a sister boat running a day skippers course and we had the pleasure of meeting them and Michael, the Lead Instructor who was also so knowledgable and very encouraging and positive. I cannot extend our thanks enough to Tadek, for a brilliant, brilliant week. It was such a pleasure to meet you. We did the course in preparation for a sailing trip with friends that is booked for June via Sunsail in Greece, island hopping. We are very much looking forward to this trip. Overall we had a fabulous experience thank you to all involved.

Simply the best. We had from start to finish an outstanding experience. Great place, superb sailing, excellent Sunsail crew – Finn, Jesse, Becky – could not have been more welcoming, helpful, and their skills and warmth made for a great time for everyone. Loved the freedom to sail all day and explore, while coming together in beautiful harbours each evening. We will be back!

Just returned from an amazing 12 day trip out of Placencia on a Sunsail 454 with 2 other couples. Couldn’t have been more perfect. We’ve chartered in many locations, but Belize is really special – so many islands, few boats, no crowds, friendly people. We’ll be back. The Sunsail/Moorings staff are great – among the friendliest and most responsive of any chartering company we’ve used. Miss Rene, Diego, Mateo, Kevin and all of the team were really great. And extra shout out to the captain we had for first four days of the journey – Dwayne – who is exceptional.

Great staff at Sunsail. Very thorough boat & navigation briefings. The Sunsail 424 is a beautiful boat with well thought out design characteristics. Our crew of 5 enjoyed features such as A/C, watermaker, cockpit fridge, and more. The boat was immaculately maintained.

Fantastic in every regard. The captain they provided was just the best! A great sailor, so knowledgeable, and so much fun and friendly. (Thank you Ana!). The boat was perfect – new and everything functioned well. And the BVI’s are just the most magical place to sail. The staff at Sunsail was so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend Sunsail and the entire experience.
