We were looking for a boat tour with only a few participants (here there are 7 people). The price is totally ok. And if you want peace, relaxation and see the great Croatian landscape and underwater world, this is the place for you. We can only recommend it.

Really nice boat trip when you have a short trip in Zadar but still want to go on a boat trip and see the islands nearby. The sailor was really nice and calm. It was very relaxing, even when there was no sun!

It was a very nice time, a great team and a really nice captain. Would definitely recommend this
