Sailboat cruise through the Kornati and Krka Parks

Beautiful holiday: sun, wind, sea and great company. I relaxed and let myself be pampered by the beautiful landscapes, the colors of Dalmatia and the wonderful sailings. Armando as well as being a competent skipper is also an excellent cook who has prepared some superfine lunches. Thanks Armando!

We park at the Marina Trogir as indicated. I call the skipper and say that we have to go to another port. Absurd not to have communicated it before. The boat: not really clean, dirty tablecloth, shower bathroom unusable. You wash only in the cockpit. Of the program proposed by him on the site not even the shadow. He says that going to Kornati costs 300€ per person per day (false). We fall back on the archipelago of Split, but we see only ports. Moor for lunch and stay there until the following day. Ditto the days after. We are rudely accused of our courteous requests. He even throws a can into the sea saying "embè" in the face of my disappointment. It comes on a day when the water does not flow +. It takes time and a technician x solve the problem. We ask to end the unpleasant experience and be refunded for the days we would not have used. He refuses. We understand that we would never have had the refund, but we break the nightmare by getting us back to Trogir.

We go to the Marina as indicated by the skipper, but it is untraceable and after a few hours of waiting in the rain we discover that the departure will be in another marina on the opposite side of where we are. We do not receive information about the program, except for the suggestion to avoid the Kornati Islands for exorbitant cost (which turned out to be false). Sunday we start very calmly, time to take a dip and after less than 2 hours of navigation we are moored again. The following day the program is the same, this time without even being able to take a bath and so also for the next 2 days. To all our grievances and observations, we receive rude and overbearing responses. At the 4th day the already precarious flow of water in the boat stops working, so we are forced to return to the marina for a NON-DECISIVE maintenance. We ask to disembark for obvious reasons to be refunded but the skipper refuses. I don't think I've ever had a worse holiday than this.

Booked cruise to the Islands Incoronate.la boat the night before departure docks at another marina but we are not warned. The skipper says that the program was indicative, that the Kornati Islands were not so beautiful and each day of docking cost 100.00 euros + 300 euros per person. On the internet there is no trace of this rate per person but we must trust and opt for the cruise to the islands in front of Split. In the first three days Solta, Vis, San Clement, a single bath, mooring at lunchtime and afternoon walking around the village. After complaints fourth day bath in a cove but return to Split to replace the water pump. It is necessary to disassemble the plant. The skipper refuses the refund of the two missing days because the water would flow just enough and the boat can sail. We leave the tap open and the water does not flow. We disembark without refund but happy to leave. Disastrous experience strongly discouraged. Best wishes to those who want to try.

This review is made by Michela S. and Mario L. We were a group of 5 friends in the period of August with Split archipelago itinerary, all with previous experience of sailing cruises. Boat decisamete dirty, both the deck and the interior. Itinerary: Vis, Curcola .. not even seen with binoculars, despite the favorable weather. Very few bays, despite our many requests to sleep at anchor and not in the ports. As in other reviews, he moved the boat from one port to another, regardless of the wishes of the participants and what the program promised. Navigation: despite our requests to sail, rare were the sails ... but motor a lot. He pulled up the sails only at our express request! On the penultimate day he moored us at lunchtime in a port and in the evening we found ourselves three small cruise ships, with the engine running all night, smoking directly towards us. the last one in another port! NOT RECOMMENDED!

Very experienced sailor, he always knows how to make you feel comfortable. It combines the safety of navigation with excellent cuisine, healthy and tasty. Features undoubtedly out of the ordinary. We are a couple with baby and we had a very good time! Thanks Armando!

Armando immediately gave us a great impression, we felt like relying completely! Great food and excellent cook! The places he took us to were lovely! During the navigation we met a Sea turtle "caretta caretta" to whom we took many photos, in another route instead we were approached by a large group of dolphins and also to them we dedicated numerous photos! Experience definitely to be repeated

Armando, the skipper, is an extraordinary person with decades of sea behind him and who transmits great safety and solidity in navigation. Great sailing instructor and overpowering cuco, I learned a lot by sailing with him. His boat is made for sailing; fast, responsive to adjustments but also comfortable and welcoming. In short, it was an extraordinary experience and the enchanting archipelago of Split was the setting for a fairytale week. I hope our routes will cross again soon.

It is difficult to express in a few words such a complete emotional experience! ... Armando, in addition to being a good skipper, is an equally skilled cook, able to satisfy your tastes and your nautical and culinary preferences. Just let yourself go at the slow pace of the days and you will find yourself in a timeless and carefree world. Thanks Armando! Corrado
