The professionalism and charm of the lead crew

This is the 4th charter company we have rented from and it was the best experience. The boat was well maintained, the staff were wonderful, and it made for a very pleasant vacation.

The Sunsail staff was focused and very interested in accommodating our needs and getting us underway as soon as possible. They were contactable and would address any maintenance issues with great speed. Boat in good shape. All as advertised. Very appreciative as many charter organizations are not very responsive and the boats on arrival are far less than advertised.

I’ve chartered with Sunsail several times and every experience is amazing. The boats, the crew, the service, the locations. All top notch.

The boat and locations are perfect for us. We don’t want a lot of hassle, just get on the boat and go! Sunsail makes it easy.

Very seamless process and polished customer experience. Also, Boots, James, Kishmet and the rest of the staff are amazing.

We had a staff of 4 on our Lefkada Floatilla.
Phoebe was an amazing organizer and a great person to have leading the social aspect of our flotilla. She was bubbly and fun to be around and encouraging.
Tom was our handyman and helped my wife and I a ton with our boat and spent extra time explaining things around our boat. He spent just as much time with all the other boats making sure everything was in working order.
Matt was our captain and it was very obvious he had a lot of experience. He helped us, without making us feel dumb. He is kind and goes out of his way to make us feel safe and know the plan.
Manu was the new guy on the flotilla staff and had a great attitude and a wealth of experience as well. He spent extra time with our boat explaining navigation and other techniques to sailing. His warm smile is contagious.
As you can see, we had an incredible staff that all worked well together. Thank you for a great week.

Well maintained yachts friendly and very helpful lead crew

This time we most enjoyed our lead crew

The people in the lead boat, they were wonderful

Once on site, the base staff + Costa our briefer were great. Matt / Tom / Manu / Phoebe – our flotilla crew were absolutely fantastic and made our trip. Our flotilla crew were professional and knowledgeable and took the stress out of sailing.

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

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. 🙂
