Dubrovnik to Trogir
Skipper/Captain Dal has taken us to some amazing spots on the way from Dubrovnik to Trogir. It’s allowed a new group friends to swim, snorkel, paddle board (time trials), surf and all other great water activities. Great knowledge of the catamaran led to nice relaxing sailing all the way.
Our knowledgeable/fun host Lauren was brilliant all week knocking up great breakfasts and lunches every day. Always on hand to offer advice on island trips and recommendations for evening dinners. Peka was a highlight 😂
Thank you both for a great first experience sailing in Croatia, we are sure to be back looking at some of the other routes on offer.
We wish you all the best

Hi Jez,
We're thrilled you had a brilliant first sailing holiday from Dubrovnik to Trogir (Split) with Dal and Lauren. It's wonderful that your experience exceeded your expectations, and we're grateful for your kind words. It's wonderful to hear the Peka was a highlight! We look forward to more fantastic adventures with you in the future!
Skipper Cate and host Lauren
Skipper Cate and host Lauren provided a great yatching experience. They were both very personable, which made the trip very relaxing. The local tips on places to go at each port of call was very helpful. Lauren made amazingly delicious meals onboard. The skipper did a great job at the helm as well. Cate made it look easy maneuvering our 42ft vessel.

Extended family of 8 cruise to Split
Our extended family of 8, with ages from 10 to 60+ just completed a cruise from Dubrovnik to Trogir/Split with Dal as skipper and Becca as host. We all had a fantastic time. Dal knew great spots to stop for a swim during the day and the tour included historic towns to stay for the night. He recommended places to dine at night and activities to do at stops along the way (wine tour, bike rental in Mljet, U-boat cave, wall walk in Ston and many others). Becca was great as host. Her meals were all excellent and she is a wonderful, friendly person with helpful hints of her own on things to do.

Great crew, great cruise.
Besides the fabulous scenery (which is a given) the crew were fantastic, Skipper Dal and Host Becca were a pleasure to share the week with on the Dalmation Coast aboard "Easy Course". Our second trip with Yacht Getaways in Criatia, hopefully not the last.

From the minute we got on board …
From the minute we got on board Skipper Dal and host Poppy made us feel welcome and very much at home.
Our holiday was expectional, relaxed and stunningly beautiful. Dal and Poppy were professional, warm, helpful and jolly lovely to be around.
The days started gently with an array of breakfast treats, fresh and varied.
We had freshly prepared lunch every day in a different and enchanting bay, with a choice of paddle boarding, snorkeling, swimming, or relaxing on board to a great selection of music before we headed off to our next destination.
With the great recommendations they gave us we were able to find some fantastic restaurants on shore for dinner each night, sometimes we just followed our noses.
Skipper Dal and Poppy work together as a great and supportive team. We occasionally crossed paths with Ellen and Cate and the fellowship between them all was great to see.
Would recommend in a heart beat. Loved every minute. Thank you. Leigh

Wow, our sailing holiday from Split to Dubrovnik was so much better than we ever could have imagined it to be. Our crew, Skipper Cate and Host Ellen, were the absolute best.

Amazing first yacht charter
Amazing company for our first yacht charter adventure. Skipper Angus and Host Lauren were amazing, making sure we had the best experience possible. Fresh breakfast and lunch in secluded coves every day and exploration of towns and villages in the evening made for a perfect week. We also lucked out with the best crew mates a couple could ask for.
We are already planning our next trip with Yacht Getaways!!

Once in a lifetime experience
Once in a lifetime experience in Croatia! We were lucky to have Lauren and Angus as our host and skipper! They both made our week at sea unforgettable! We explored sea caves, an abandoned submarine site, and multiple shipwrecks. We saw countless waterfalls, went wine tasting in the hills of Croatia, swam in the bluest waters, and saw so many beautiful sunsets!
This truly was one of the best vacations we have ever been on! We met the most amazing people and plan to do it again soon!

Split to Dubrovnik Myself and my partner have just…
Myself and my partner have just returned home from our trip with friends on the good ship Easy Course. Our skipper, Dal, and our host, Poppy, made the voyage from Split to Dubrovnik one of the best holiday experiences of my life.
Their knowledge of the area meant that we were able to enjoy beautiful scenery, fantastic bars & restaurants as well as have excellent breakfasts and lunches prepared for us every day. Nothing was too much trouble.
I've not had much experience of sailing so I wasnt too sure what to expect but this introduction to boating holidays surpassed everything I could have wished for.
Constructive criticism? I could have done with an extra pillow 😁.

Split to Dubrovnik explorer
Just returned from our Split to Dubrovnik explorer, what an experience! Our experienced skipper Dal took us to amazing sheltered bays and was always on hand to help with whatever we needed, ably assisted by our hostess Poppy who covered a multitude of roles as well as feeding us very well throughout. Dal and Poppy provided information about our locations and recommended local activities and restaurants, which was much appreciated. Our days of swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding, sightseeing, cycling and, of course, eating and drinking will be memories savoured for ever. Thanks yacht getaways for a brilliant trip

It had everything
We’ve just returned from a holiday in Croatia with Yacht Getaways and we had the most incredible time imaginable. Dal was a brilliant skipper who took us to hidden bays for lunchtime swims and stunning marinas and towns for night time exploring. Poppy created amazing food effortlessly and took care of everyone’s needs. If you are thinking of booking don’t hesitate. I will definitely be coming back. Sarah from Edinburgh

Fantastic trip (Dubrovnikto Split)
Fantastic trip (Dubrovnikto Split). We've sailed on catamarans many times before. But this was our first time with a host and captain and they made the trip so enjoyable. Cate and Ellen were so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly that we thought of them as part of our group and not crew. The locations that they took us were stunning and their suggestions for activities and dining were spot on. I highly recommend this trip and crew.
