Seamaster Yacht Charter Reviews 510

We had a great time sailing around the Kornati Islands. The boat was just right for what we needed and we loved the national parks. We had good advice for our route and made it slightly as a result so that we could fit in more swimming stops and not feel too rushed.

The best sailing charter company I’ve used. Very knowledgeable and very helpful and top quality boats. Don’t use anyone else

Seamaster makes everything from finding you a charter company, booking it, booking the transport, and all the other various bits and pieces in between. They also offer great support with a named contact. The experience with them feels personal rather than as if you're only dealing with a company.

Good communication and understanding of our needs. When there was a problem with the charter company at the last minute very quickly and efficiently found us an alternative. The charter company used was superb and could not have wished for more.

Our initial enquiry was dealt with by Tim who provided excellent advice about the type of boat we should consider for our party of four (plus skipper) and the sailing area we could explore. He was certainly instrumental in guiding us towards a catamaran which was something we were not considering at the outset but it really made the holiday with the extra recreational space it provided. The skipper (Simona) was very professional and helpful when we were trying to assist her with the jobs in hand. As the holiday approached we could always get to speak to Tim and his team so that those last minute questions and queries were answered quickly. All in all a fantastic holiday, so thank you Seamaster for your help in guiding us and making it happen.

Will and Tim in the office great and good clear advice, support and information provided through the process from booking through to departure and return.

It was more luck than anything that we stumbled upon Seamaster. Casually thinking we might like to take a catamaran around the Dalmatian Islands, we found Seamaster via Google and took pot luck. As it turned out, we struck gold and Tim and the team were fantastic. Hugely helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. I think we ended up with the best catamaran (Lagoon 46) of this size and had a brilliant skipper (Afan). Already we are talking about where next. We highly recommend Seamaster and the whole experience in Croatia 🇭🇷

Seamaster are really great to deal with; they answer emails and calls straight away are a friendly and full of useful information. Their choice of skippers is excellent, and the routes chosen work very well. The bays around the South Ionian Islands are glorious for swimming and snorkeling, and little towns are delightful.

This is our 7th year using the company and I have always found them helpful and supportive.
In the planning stage a good range of charter options and locations were presented for us to consider.
Good friendly communications throughout, including personal contact before and after sailing to check on details and holiday experience.

Excellent - fab choice of boats, great price and brilliant comms. I would use again for sure.

Tim and his team at Seamaster went out of their way to ensure we had the best holiday experience, the Lagoon 46 was amazing and the process of check-in and check-out was just so simple!

Thank you guys so much!

Tim and Will are very helpful. They provided us with useful information through out the booking process until the end. They always responded to our emails/enquiries promptly.

The yacht we chartered through them in Saronic Gulf (Greece) was in excellent conditions. We had no issues through out our week of sailing.

Will definitely go back to them for our future sailing adventures.

Very helpful staff in London, good comms. Similar support from their Base partners in Zadar, Navigo. Although new the Bavaria was a bit of a tub.

One more year with Seamaster and everything went super smoothly as always. I keep coming back and I am never disappointed.
See you in 2024!

Fantastic service from start to finish. Great yacht and all round experience

We have dealt with Seamaster now on four separate occasions and every single time they have been amazing. Very efficient, dealt with all our enquiries efficiently and the charter companies they use have also all been great, We would highly recommend that anyone looking for a sailing holiday to use Seamaster. We have been dealing with Tim and Will both who have been great

The team at Seamaster are very knowledgable, positive and helpful. They know the boats and charter companies very well and provide reliable advice. Overall, excellent service.

The Marina staff were very friendly and helpful especially "Marina" the office manager. it also included a short time loan of the van to bring back supplies of food and drinking water from the local village. (You get through a lot of drinking water so keep your empty 4 litre bottles for refilling on the landing stages, tank water not recommended).
Whilst on the open water we had a small problem coming from the engine compartment (cooling fan bearing making a loud grating sound indistinguishable from the engine) which we fixed after a short telephone call to the base manager.
The scenery around the Kornati islands was lovely with lots of beautiful isolated bays to moor up in. Many restaurants had mooring buoys to tie up to but check for charges in the National Park. We didn't check in for a night at any marina for the two weeks and felt safe either anchoring or on a buoy.
Revictualling from the local supermarkets within walking distance from the marinas and taking on FREE water was relatively easy - we were allowed about two hours mooring time at the marinas to complete everything without charge. The dinghy was very useful when anchoring close to settlements for trips ashore.
Do watch out for shallow areas, we unexpectedly came close to a rock awash with breaking water in the middle of a channel (about a mile SSE of the Utvrda Turret castle on Otocic Kornat), which couldn't be marked on the chart because of the scale. It was however shown on the expanded scale of the moving map display.
A great time had by all, a three generational group comprising two mid seventies, two mid forties and a seven year old boy!

Will was always happy to answer all my questions - no matter how silly. And he answered them super quickly too. Gave me great advice on boat and trip ideas. The skippers they have are fantastic - ours was amazing - super friendly / knew the perfect places for us to dock for overnight or random swims - can’t say enough good things about him - Fantastic service all round.

Brilliant experience with Tim and his team. 3rd booking with them. Always helpful and they give you lots of useful information.
Very trustworthy company to deal with.
Would highly recommend.
