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!

My wife & I did Competent Crew in the Agana Flotilla last year and this time to do the Day Skipper, again with the flotilla. Tadek was our skipper and instructor for the week, so young yet so brilliant in his duties, demonstrating amazing abilities, patience and encouragement – everything you could ever want.

The Flotilla, as before, was perfectly planned and supported, with Becky, Jessie and Adam ensuring we had everything and anything we needed for amazing sailing and good evenings in gorgeous towns.

We’ve already booked with this Flotilla in Sept, this time bareboat – looking forward to the next time.

This was our first experience on a sailboat, we spent a week in Belize for our family vacation. It was the best trip we have ever done, so much to see and do! Captain Dan is a gem and he made the trip so memorable, he is knowledgeable, so fun and great with the kids. We will be back for sure and we are recommending the trip to all our friends.

What an amazing week our group of 6 had sailing a Leopard 42 catamaran with Sunsail. Highlights included an easy check in, excellent briefings, fun activities and awesome service from Becky, Adam and Jesse. The vessel was almost new and any minor issues were quickly rectified by Jesse. The week’s program gave us plenty of time to do our own thing before meeting up daily with the flotilla of 7 vessels in total.

Adam made mooring much easier with his expert guidance and Becky ensured the group activities were fun and engaging. Can’t wait to do it again. Thanks very much to all the Sunsail team for making our week of exploring the Croatian Islands so special.

What an amazing week on the Hvar route! First time on flotilla in Croatia having previously sailed from Lefkada. Our lead crew of Finn, Elle and Hrvoje were just brilliant and certainly made the week. A big thank you to all three of them

This was our third Sunsail flotilla in Croatia, and our second starting from Agana, having done the Krka route in 2024. This year we joined the Hvar flotilla and booked the same boat as last year — a now (2 yr old) Sunsail 34.1 “Bailout” . We chose to purchase early check‑in, which worked perfectly, allowing us get onto the boat at 15:00 and to settle in, provision, and be ready well in time for the briefing. The boat was immaculate when we arrived, spotlessly clean, and with all the beds made up.

The lead crew — India, Filip, and Carraig — were absolutely fantastic. They were welcoming, friendly, and very professional, providing thorough daily briefings about the route, lunch spots, facilities, and activities. Despite this being a larger flotilla of 11 boats, their hard work kept everything running smoothly, and any engineering questions were quickly resolved.

The group meal on the hill above Agana on the final evening was a highlight — great quality, excellent value, and a lovely way to end the week, with transport, drinks, and dinner all included.

Overall, we had a fantastic trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Sunsail team worked hard to make sure every boat and crew felt well‑looked‑after, and their efforts really made the difference. We’re already looking forward to planning our next sailing adventure!

Our group of friends went on our third Sunsail flotilla, this time in Croatia. The boat and the flotilla along with fellow crews were great. However the one thing which made the whole trip very special for all of us was the Sunsail crew, consisting of Fleet Captain Finn, Hostess Elle, and Mechanic Hrvoje. To say they made the time special would be an understatement. It really was thanks to them, that a fun time became special. Many thanks to them all, with best wishes from Sea Pea

We had the most incredible week in Croatia with Sunsail. In addition to our fabulous lead crew, consisting of Finn, Elle and Hrvojie we also had the fantastic Tadek as our skipper. I was genuinely blown away but how great they all were. Finn, Elle and Hrvojie were great fun, incredibly helpful and just fab to be around. Tadek was second to none! He fitted into our family perfectly, was a joy to have on board whilst at the same time making sure we were all learning. I can’t speak of them all highly enough. Thanks all for genuinely adding to our family holiday and making it genuinely so fabulous!

Fantastic! The catamaran was fantastic!! This was our 1st bareboat experience—we will certainly charter from Sunsail again. The team was super responsive. Special callout to Britney—she deserves a raise!!!
Thank you, Sunsail!

This was our 3rd flotilla with Sunsail and it couldn’t have been better. We sailed the 2 week Vis flotilla and it was absolutely amazing. Our boat (Still Dreaming – 38.2) was just perfect for the 2 of us. The first week took us to the Krka National Park and was superb, with some different experiences with the route up to Skradin being amazing. The middle weekend allowed us to travel to Vis which is such a lovely island and thoroughly recommended (especially at a weekend when it’s quieter). For our second weekend we sailed round Solta, Brac & Hvar stopping at some really lovely spots and picking up some really nice wind in between.
We can’t thank our lead crew enough. Finn, Elle, and Mario (first week), and Hrvoje (2nd week), were absolutely brilliant. I don’t think I’ve come across a more cool or calm skipper as Finn, so knowledgeable, helpful, and a joy to be around (love his laugh 😍). Elle….what can I say….such a delightful host, bubbly, helpful, professional with a ‘nothings ever too much trouble attitude’….such a credit to the Sunsail team…well done Elle ❤️. Mario & Hrvoje were always there straight away if you needed them although our boat was pretty faultless so we didn’t really need to call on them much. Thankyou all.
We had such an amazing holiday and would not hesitate to recommend Sunsail or our lead Crew…brilliant.
Already started looking at options for the next trip the day we got back 😃

This was our third Sunsail flotilla in Croatia, and our second starting from Agana, having done the Krka route in 2024. This year we joined the Hvar flotilla and booked the same boat as last year — a now (2 yr old) Sunsail 34.1 “Bailout” . We chose early check‑in, which worked perfectly, allowing us to settle in, provision, and be ready well in time for the briefing. The boat was immaculate when we arrived, spotlessly clean, and with all the beds made up — a noticeable improvement from the year before.

One small difference this year was the tender’s engine. In 2024 we had an electric version that was easy to fit and use, whereas this year we were issued a heavier Mercury petrol engine. We didn’t feel confident lifting it on and off, so we opted not to use it during the week. It wasn’t a major issue for us, but worth mentioning for crews who might prefer a more manageable option.

Provisioning was straightforward, although we noticed that many of the supermarket trolleys had been left down at the marina, making it necessary to make a few trips. Not a big deal, just a reminder to allow a bit of extra time when stocking up. We were also advised in the briefing the following day to use reef‑safe shampoo and sun cream, but this came after we’d already provisioned. It would be really helpful if this information could be included in the pre‑flotilla briefing documents, perhaps with examples of brands available locally, so crews can plan ahead.

The lead crew — India, Filip, and Carraig — were absolutely fantastic. They were welcoming, friendly, and very professional, providing thorough daily briefings about the route, lunch spots, facilities, and activities. Despite this being a larger flotilla of 11 boats, their hard work kept everything running smoothly, and any engineering questions were quickly resolved. In previous years the lead boat flew a large identifying flag, making it easy to spot when arriving in port. This year it wasn’t as prominently marked, which made finding the lead boat slightly more challenging, but this didn’t affect the overall experience.

As with many flotilla arrivals, the final day at Agana can be busy, with a number of flotillas and bareboats trying to dock at the same time. It can lead to a short wait in the sun while things get sorted. This was similar to our experience the year before, and it would be ideal if a bit more coordination could be added to the final entry process to save crews from having to circle for too long.

The group meal on the hill above Agana on the final evening was a highlight — great quality, excellent value, and a lovely way to end the week, with transport, drinks, and dinner all included.

Overall, we had a fantastic trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Sunsail team worked hard to make sure every boat and crew felt well‑looked‑after, and their efforts really made the difference. We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure!

By far the best sailing holiday we have ever done! The Croatian coastline was stunning, and the food and people were amazing. Our flotilla support team of Adam, Jesse and Becky were incredible, bringing the trip to the next level! Of course the boat was immaculate. We highly recommend a flotilla holiday with Sunsail 🥰

best flotilla yet! Wonderful sailing conditions, locations, lead team and clear Croatian waters.
The lead team of Finn, Elle and Hrvoje were exceptional.
Finn’s leadership and knowledge was clear, calm and impressive; making the two weeks a thoroughly enjoyable time.
Elle was extremely well organised and excelled in her role.
Hrvoje’s diligence at ensuring the boats were well maintained was a credit to the team.
The briefings, information and advice regarding weather conditions, anchorages and harbours enabled us to be well planned and prepared.
The locations were beautiful, local restaurants and shops appropriately recommended and facilities at marinas very good.
A thoroughly enjoyable holiday. We will be back!

We had a great week on this flotilla the crew were really good and locations perfect
The team were really friendly and helpful

I can’t speak highly enough of the Sunsail team who led the Sunsail Flotilla we were part of in Croatia. Finn, Elle and Hrvoje could not have been more attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble, they made the 2 weeks we spent with them on holiday memorable.
I would recommend them as a lead crew.

We have just completed the one week Brac flotilla with our hosts Adam, Becky and Jesse. The trip was exceptional. Fair winds, beautiful boat and the scenery was amazing. Our hosts were second to none. They made the week such fun, and everyone had a fantastic time. Can’t wait to come back.

What an amazing week. We had an excellent time on “Ruby Too” sailing the southern Hvar route. Our lead crew were faultless. Finn was calm, collected and knowledgeable which put us all at ease and he used every opportunity he could to share his knowledge – his passion for sailing is clear! Our tech Hrvoje was so incredibly hardworking, constantly checking everything was working as it should be – he never stops! We had no issues with our boat but that didn’t stop him from taking the time to check everything over. And finally our host Elle was so bubbly, passionate, and couldn’t do enough for us. She kept the laughter flowing and kept us all entertained all week. From suggestions of lunch stops, restaurants, mooring options and everything in between, our “Krka One” lead crew were absolutely top notch.

The boat was pristine, well maintained and had everything we could ask for – the generator and watermaker were well worth opting for a newer boat, giving us less to think about on the nights away from a marina. and she sailed well.

We had a mixture of moorings, with the marinas in Maslinica, Milna, Stari Grad were very well equipped. We spent our free sail day exploring the Smrka submarine tunnels, and then finished off rafting in Sesula which was great fun.

The sailing conditions were consistently good, with calmer mornings and breezier afternoons. The social events in the evening were well planned and made us want to join in more. We got to know the rest of our flotilla well and the team did a great job at making sure everyone was enjoying their holiday.

Whilst this was only my second flotilla, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sunsail, and a massive thanks again to our lead crew for making the trip so amazing.

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
