Poor service and charters
We arrived on a Saturday and were told that our yacht was not yet available, we were told to return after midday. The weather was pleasant and we enjoyed a breakfast in the town. However by 4pm there was no sign of the yacht and when we queried this we were told that we could stay nearby overnight, or go elsewhere. We asked to see management and were told to wait in a dirty and overpriced Marina restaurant. By 6pm nobody had returned and we were then in no mood to be reasonable. We went to look for the same gentleman who was to deal with us and were told he had gone home.

We left the Marina and stayed overnight in an apartment in Zaboric (pleasant and clean). We returned the next morning and were told that our yacht had arrived the previous night and was now being cleaned. The girl working in the office was highly apologetic and explained that she wasn't aware of us being in the yard the day previous.

When our yacht, Adria vektor, was produced it was filthy inside, as if it had been in dry dock. The engine refused to start and the young man assigned to us was unable to even begin to remedy it. We waited an hour for a mechanic, who arrived, laughed and told us to get another boat as this one wasn't going to move.

The girl in the office offered us early lunch while she sorted things. Our replacement arrived at 3pm, 6hours after we returned to the yard, and the replacement, a marex 280, started and we moved off north.

At 5pm the engine cut out and would not restart, it felt like there was no diesel in the tank, but the gauge was reading over half. We began to drift and only for a passing fishing boat we were going to be stranded on rocks. Towed to nearby Vodice we found out that the fuel gauge was faulty and that there was very little fuel to begin win, less than half.

On Monday morning I returned with my colleague to have frank discussion and finally the assistant owner arrived, and accused us of being unable to manage a boat and ended by telling us to leave the yard before he called the police. My colleague, an ethnic Croat, told him to go ahead and we sat in the restaurant waiting for this man's boss, a Mr. Goran Prgin. He arrived an hour later and continued our harrassment, and then when WE called the police he suddenly decided to give us back our deposit and stormed away.

We got our deposit back at 4pm, and not a single apology. Never again would we use there, and they are not indicative of Croatian marina's by a long way. A disgraceful operation, overpriced and understaffed, and with horrible customer service.

Decent Greece Charter
Had a great trip, was my favorite of 3 Greece charters. Took a friends' Moorings boat for a couple of weeks, so price was not an issue for us, though there are cheaper options out there. Sailing is straightforward with line-of-sight navigation for everywhere we wanted to go. The place was just closing up for the Summer Season, so crowds were manageable. Highlight is the scenery - Corfu is without a doubt our favorite part of Greece.

Great people, great time
Really liked this trip. We could go anywhere, but kept thing line of sight, which was no problem in the islands around the base. Most the crew were new at the game, but it was not a problem - it is possible to take a boat out with only a quick primer from Sunsail (assuming some experience). The staff were brilliant, supporting us in every way, knowing all the spots we should go given our interests (culture and good food). Really great.
