    The nearly new ship was fine, the cabin was fine and spacious, the food was excellent BUT What I look forward to is the boat visiting sheltered bays {as per your promotional video}, and having a nice swim, or going ashore to do some exploring. The only time the boat stopped was in a commercial harbour, or marina. In fact we seldom got closer than two miles from any coastline. Frankly we might just as well been on huge cruise liner.

    " Excellent experience with this company, everything was well organized and the customer service gave us a total support when needed. Since years i wanted to do a mini cruise in Croatia with my wife so we decided for the Kvarner Islands from Opatija. We stayed in a very spacious On deck cabin with en suite bathroom, the guides and the crew was fantastic. The boat was what they called an A+ category, everyday we stopped in a different island to visit and in secluded bay where to swim freely. Delicious food on board. "
