Customer Reviews

Very helpful base manager and team. Well-judged, targeted boat and chart briefing. Excellent cruising area guide. Flexibility re boat return time. WhatsApp group worked very well to address small issues that arose. Boat was very good too.

The Sunsail team provided a great experience. The booking rep Clara was so helpful to us as first time sailors as a family. The yacht and experience in country was also very good.

Boat well kitted out & comfortable. Good briefing, charts, guides etc.

I have been a regular customer of Sunsail for several years for both charter and sailing qualifications and have always had a first class experience.

Well equipped boats, friendly staff, good briefings

The BVI provides a stunning location with great sailing and fabulous hospitality

Excellent briefings and information about the area. Our yacht was prepared to a high standard prior to our boarding. Amazing and very friendly staff.

Superb boat, well led by Skipper Paul Jane and Gabe beautiful weather and great location

Well organised, nice clean, well maintained boats, lovely flotilla with great social evenings

Great yacht, great location to sail and Sunsail on hand to help us all the way

We have used sunsail for 3 bareboats and one flotilla – all have been very enjoyable with good quality boats and excellent skippers who really made the holidays

great boats great people

Everything is so well planned and the support superb

Our instructor Allan was absolutely superb.

Lead crew amazing – Phoebe , Ben , Luke. Nothing too much trouble, absolutely made it for us.

Loved our flotilla holiday with Sunsail Dubrovnik. The flotilla crew (Liv, Becca and Vlad) were outstanding and made sure we had a comfortable, fun, and safe experience. The week was an excellent confidence builder as a relatively new skipper. I can’t wait to come back!

Quality of the boat and an amazing lead crew

The flotilla experience was very relaxing

Great support for a first time skipper- the Elafiti flotilla was also just right for a family new to sailing – the support boat / crew (Liv, Becca & Vlad) were friendly and v helpful.

Excellent yacht, wonderful lead crew, great winds

Thanks Sunsail for an amazing holiday.

We joined the Brac flotilla and had an unforgettable week with 5 other boats. A great mix of stunning sailing, beautiful destinations and a fun crowd.

Our yacht IA ORANA was a 38’ Oceanis and a perfect size for our family of 5. The Sunsail team, Harry (Skipper), Cerys (Host) and Lois (Technician) were outstanding.

Harry’s briefings each morning were clear and he gave great recommendations on places to visit en route to our next destination. His questionable taste in music and dance skills were more than compensated for by his brilliance at getting us safely moored up each evening and his all round professionalism.

Cerys was a bundle of joy, greeting every boat with the same amount of warmth and enthusiasm and organising fun events each evening that brought the whole flotilla together.

Lois was a superstar on all things technical, at one point disappearing into the lazy bag on our boom to sort out an issue we had with hoisting the main.

Nothing was ever too much trouble and all of them consistently went above and beyond to make the whole week a wonderful experience.

We will definitely be back!!

We have sailed with Sunsail at least a dozen times now and we will always recommend. We had a 34 foot boat for the two of us. The flotilla group were lovely. Lead boat were always there for us. Croatia is really special and scenery is beautiful. People are friendly, food is fabulous and if you like turquoise clear waters to swim in you honestly can’t find a better holiday.

Sunsail 7 day Hvar flotilla holiday

Our first sailing yacht holiday was simply fantastic, and it has definitively convinced us that many more will follow. The location and route were beautiful, but what truly made the trip exceptional was the support crew. Finn, India, and Ben were absolutely wonderful. There was nothing they could not or would not do for us, and our crew was incredibly impressed by their sailing knowledge, technical skills, and genuine friendliness.

Our beautiful boat, ‘Jippi’, served us perfectly. The accommodation on board was top-notch, providing a comfortable home while allowing us the perfect opportunity to hone our sailing skills. We also loved the flotilla format. It offered the ultimate combination of social gatherings, great camaraderie with other crews, and the independence to explore at our own pace. We cannot recommend this experience enough!

We had an amazing 5 days doing competent crew (my wife) and day skipper. Every aspect from Sunsail was perfect. The boat was clean and well equipped. More importantly the course was amazing. It was detailed with every attention to detail and correctly for the Day Skipper, intense and hard work.

The best bit about the experience was our young instructor Tadek who was a brilliant educator making both of us (30 years his senior) very comfortable in a very constructive learning environment. He is a real inspiration to have reached where he is in sailing. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. He is a real asset to the Sunsail instructor team.

First time sailing in Croatia with Sunsail.
This was an amazing experience. Beautiful scenery, well thought through route and fantastic entertainment in the evenings gave a good balanced feel of being a part of the flotilla.
Our yacht, Jippi, was very good and well maintained. All the hassle and worries were removed by the lead crew. A big shout out to India, Ben and Finn for being knowledgeable, professional, relaxed and friendly. Nothing seem to be too much trouble!
Thanks again. And we will be back for another flotilla holiday, no doubt!

First time using Sunsail & sailing in Croatia!
Great holiday, yachts were good spec & well maintained – staff were friendly and always on hand to help.
Special shout out to our lead crews Fin, India, Marin & Ben, very professional whilst friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were pro active in making sure we were looked after – a credit to themselves & Sunsail!

Brac Flotilla – Sunsail
This was our first flotilla experience and it exceeded all expectations!
Eight of us on board ‘Harmony’ – a very comfortable and spacious 46’ yacht. Immaculately clean and well kitted out.
We spent an idyllic week in the beautiful sailing area around the islands of Brac, Hvar and Solta. Stopping for a lunchtime dip in the crystal clear water (and possibly a cheeky Mojito??) was just wonderful! We had so much fun and some pretty good sailing too!
All this combined with an exceptional lead crew -Harry, Lois and Cerys. They were /are the perfect mix of fun, talent and professionalism.
Spotting Harry on arrival in to harbour was a highlight! He gave us confidence and reassurance with his calm approach.
He gets it.
Cerys can supply all the fun required. She has a real feel for her flotilla and the crews she looks after.
Lois is a technical wizard, fixer of anything and mobile fender! Brilliant job!

The combination of all crews in this flotilla was perfect. Some fantastic friends and memories made. One of the best weeks ever!
Thank you to all of you

This was our first flotilla holiday with SunSail and it was absolutely fantastic. The lead crew – Finn, India and Ben, were amazing. They were always on hand to help out, their briefings were informative and very helpful, especially for a novice crew like us, and they organised fun events, but there was no pressure to join in with the things we didn’t want to do. Ben was always able to fix and technical issues we had and Finns help in mooring was clear, relaxed and easy to follow. Finally India was always there to help, effervescent and smiling!
We sailed around Hvar, Šolta and Brac and were taken to some wonderful bays with lots of knowledgeable places to stop at on the way. Beautiful scenery, blue water and crystal clear waters.
Our family group of 8 sailed in a lovely, well appointed catamaran with wonderful air conditioning! Some of us had never sailed before and that ms to the lead crew, SunSail and the catamaran, everyone had a wonderful time and already want to do it again!
Thank you so much Finn, India and Ben and SunSail – a true holiday to remember for all the right reasons!!!

Fantastic week in Greece on a catamaran. Had a fantastic skipper Yorwos! We anchored in remote spots, swam in the Aegean Sea, ate wonderful Greek food. We have bareboated in the past but Yorwos enriched the experience far beyond our expectations.

Great experience going around the islands and being out on the water. Managed to do a whole range of experiences from docking up in a marina and visiting the town to just anchoring up in a bay and sleeping there. Skipper was great and showed us around really nice places and was quick to get involved with the group. Only downside was that we had constant problems with the dingy motor throughout the week which is why I cannot rate 5/5

Our family of five had a wonderful experience and our captain Johnny Ante took the experience to the next level. Not only was he gracious, funny, and knowledgeable, but he suggested and planned incredible activities that we wouldn’t have otherwise found. If I could give Johnny six stars I would… Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Along with four friends we spent one week touring the Cyclades on a 45 foot catamaran. Yorwos Korniotos our captain was engaging, extremely knowledgeable and took us to unbelievably beautiful remote locations. Spending the night on the only boat in a deserted cove was a once in a lifetime experience. We created memories which will last a lifetime.

Our crew was three couples plus, and for my first time, a local professional skipper. We are all very experienced sailors in handling not only our own boats but in bareboating around the world. Those of you who have done trip planning in new areas know the amount of work that takes, and you still lack local knowledge. Yorwos Kourniotis made the trip complete in so many ways. His 29 years of experience in these waters ( Cyclades and Saronic Gulf) not only took the pressure off us to plan the route, but he also showed us places we would never have even considered. He has professional relationships with the local harbormasters so we always had a place to moor. He also got us reservations at some great local restaurants. One of the highlights was an anchorage at deserted cove that we had all to ourselves for the night. He listened to what we wanted to see and how we wanted to travel and made it all happen. He made us all part of a crew.
Yes, of course the Sunsail Leopard Cat was well prepared and flawless, but Yorwas enabled us to get up close and personal with the Cyclades. As I said, we’ve chartered in many waters, but we’ll be back to these friendly and amazingly beautifully Greek Islands again. Hopefully with Captain Kourniotis!

This was the absolute BEST trip of my life! Sunsail made the whole experience seamless and India, Finn and Ben went ABOVE and BEYOND in every way possible. 10 stars for all of them! Well done!

We had a great sailing week around Brâc thanks to Sunsail and our Sunsail supporting team: Harry, always on hand for his detailed morning briefings and ready to guide us, whenever necessary, through manoeuvres in port. Thanks also to Lois, who provided us with prompt and effective technical support. On every cruise, there’s always plenty going on. And a big thank you to Kerys, whose boundless energy spreads good cheer wherever she goes. The Sunsail team was fabulous. A big thank you from Christian, Pascale, Caroline and Julian. The crew for a week on ULTRAVIOLET 3, a Jeanneau 42

We had an epic time on the Brac flotilla, sailing around beautiful, sun soaked Croatian islands. All made so easy by our incredible lead crew – Harry, Lois and Cerys.

We had a fabulous holiday from start to finish. Everything was exceptionally well organised, and we visited some truly beautiful places. Cally, our host, was absolutely fantastic – incredibly kind and friendly, with great recommendations and lots of fun activities that made the trip even more special.

A huge thank you as well to Louis and Alex, our tech and skipper, who were both extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always willing to help. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the trip.

Overall, it was a brilliant crew and a wonderful holiday experience. We would highly recommend it and would love to do it again!

We have sailed at least 10 weeks over the years with Sunsail flotillas and 6 weeks in Croatia and 5 in Marina Agana. Always very good and this year maybe the best. Cerys our hostess had very good briefings and restaurant reservations for our party of 7. The crew which included Captain Harry and the technician Louis were always were great at helping with docking always appreciated. Can’t recommend Sunsail flotillas and Marina Agana base higher. This is our 2nd year with a Sunsail 464 ( Lagoon 46) which we also like for a large group.

What a fabulous week on our Sunsail flotilla. Alex, Cally & Louie were a perfect lead boat. Alex’s calm and helpful manner made mooring much less stressful. Cally was just a lovely bundle of energy and made our flotilla feel like a family for the week. And Louie was just amazing, fixing anything that needed it quickly and always with a smile. If you’re heading to Croatia for a flotilla then you’ll luck out if you have this lead crew!

We had an exceptional time as a crew of 6 on the Hvar 1 week flotilla led by Cally. All Sunsail Staff were extremely helpful and great to be around.

The trip perfectly balanced the flexibility to have our own authentic Croatian sailing experience with the support and guidance to feel confident each day as well as opportunities to enjoy the company of those on other boats.The way the flotilla is organised truly makes it suitable for those with a wide range of sailing experience.

A 100% memorable experience, we hope to do it again!
