      Beautiful boat ride
      Wow! What an amazing boat trip! We booked Matic at the last minute and enjoyed a beautiful two hours going along the rural coast of Piran. He stopped and let us swim for a bit and was very kind with our kids. He provided delicious Prosecco for us and waters for the kids. We absolutely loved the charm and elegance of the wooden boat and will definitely book again if we return!

      The best way to experience the Istria Peninsula on a spectacular wooden ship
      I highly suggest anyone visiting the Slovenian Coast charter this spectacular wooden vessel to experience the awesome blue waters of the Adriatic. Matic is an amazing host that provided first-class platters of food great local wine and prosseco. Honestly, the entire 3-hour charter is a 5-star experience that is a must do. BTW - this is a great value too!

      Highlight of our stay in Portoroz!
      Our private boat ride with Vintage and Captain Matic was absolutely amazing. The boat is beautiful and in perfect condition. The sparkling wine and snacks provided were delicious and the sun-bed up front made the whole trip unforgettable as we caught the perfect breeze while sailing as the sun was setting. Matic is a great captain and such a gracious host. This is well worth the money.

      An amazing experience
      An amazing experience that's absolutely worth it to explore the Slovenian coast. From the start, Captain Matic makes you feel at home. He shows you all the hidden gems and gives you all the attention you could ask for. During the tour, you can taste local gastronomic products such as cold cuts and cheeses. He also provides a basket of fruits, prosecco, beers, or any other drink you wish. We did a four-hour route starting from Portorož, passing by the Half Moon Bay, the mussel farms, and reaching Izola, where we turned around and anchored to swim. He also has a paddleboard. A 10/10 experience.

      Amazing Bachelorette Party on the Sea!
      We recently celebrated a bachelorette party with an 8-hour boat trip, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations. The boat was spacious and comfortable, perfect for our group. We were delighted with the variety of drinks available – wine, Prosecco, and other beverages kept flowing throughout the trip, thanks to our super nice captain. He was attentive, ensuring we were never without a drink and always making sure we were having a great time. The food provided was a delightful surprise. Fresh fruits and various plates were delicious and complemented the drinks perfectly. It added a touch of elegance to our celebration. One of the highlights was the music. We had our playlist, and the captain ensured it played seamlessly, setting the perfect vibe for our party. Dancing and laughing under the sun, with the beautiful sea around us, made for unforgettable moments. The whole experience was a blast, and we all agreed it was one of the best ways to celebrate. If you’re looking for a memorable and fun-filled day on the sea, this boat trip is the way to go. Highly recommended!

      The best experience ever
      To be honest - I don't think that I've ever had better customer experience than with captain Matic. I used his boat and his offer of sunset boat tour to propose to my girlfriend and it was the best decision I could make. Captain Matic was the most helpful from the first moment, he went far and beyond any expectations and really did anything he could to make our moment memorable and unforgettable. His boat is stunning, atmospheric, cozy but in the same time large enough for much bigger groups than just a couple :-). Sundeck is absolutely amazing and to sip wine, watching picturesque Piran coastline and sunset is an experience you definitely want to have on your bucket list. Do yourself a favor and reserve your boat tour with captain Matic. You won't regret it!

      Evening Cruise on the Bay of Trieste
      Wonderful sunset cruise on a beautifully restored wooden ship. Relaxing and beautiful scenery. Matic is a great captain. Was very easy to communicate with from the US via email. We had a few questions going back and forth in the months preceding our visit to Slovenia. Matic was always prompt and helpful with his replies. One member of our group was celebrating her birthday and Matic offered to get a birthday cake. He had a delicious chocolate cake with a candle waiting with a spread of fruit, nuts, and Prosecco. The pods of dolphins were a bonus!! Definitely a must if visiting Piran!

      Amazing Sunset Sail!
      My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time during our sunset sail! Captain Matic was so attentive and was so accommodating with wine, music, and even offering blankets if we got chilly. This was the highlight of our 10 day vacation!

    My partner and I contacted Matic very last minute on the day we arrived in Piran to see if there was any availability as we were staying in the town for less than 24 hours. Matic was very responsive and even offered us a discount for it being out of season and last minute so we jumped at the opportunity.

    I'm not a huge lover of boats but this boat is beautiful; built in the 1940s and excellently restored. There is a sun deck area in addition to the main seating area, both of which are very comfortable. Matic served us a choice of sparkling wine or Slovenian white wine with fresh fruit upon arrival and made it clear that he'd be happy to answer any questions we had, or give us some space if that's what we'd prefer, and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. He was very welcoming and made us feel relaxed.

    The trip itself was wonderful. Matic tailored the route to the time we had available and the views were fantastic. If you have a spare hour or two in Piran I couldn't recommend a trip with Matic and Vintage Boat Tours more!

    We did a 3 hour morning tour with Matic as a start for a whole day of celebrating our future bride. It was the perfect way to start the day. The boat is so beautiful and the captain a great host. We were welcomed by a fruit platter, some fresh croissants, water and Prosecco. Our glasses were never empty, Matic made sure of that. The boat itself has a nice seating area in the back and a great lounge area in the front. It's the most relaxing way of discovering the coast!
    Matic took us along the istrian coast and told us all about the surrounding area, which is mesmerizing. We made a stop for swimming, which was great in the clear water. Towels and a SUP were provided.
    Matic even agreed to being our photographer when needed during the trip.
    I highly recommend booking a tour with Matic, it is great value for money! And the best way to discover Piran and its surrounding coast.

    We highly recommend Vintage Boat Tours to anyone, who is looking for a relaxed atmosphere and perfect place to enjoy great moments, celebration or smaller informal business gathering. We enjoyed the day within smaller teambuilding gathering and we can say this experience was definitely THE highlight of the weekend! Captain Matic is excellent host, very friendly and professional, constantly takes care of guests, creates a vibe that works for everyone and makes sure guests have a positive experience from the moment they arrive till their departure. The best parties happen when a host really takes the time to think about everything, not to mention the food and beverages. Excellent; we left Vintage Boat with unforgettable memories, with promise to come back next year. Thank you Matic and all the best.

    The boat trip with captain Matic was the experience of a lifetime, and that's a statement coming from an avid sailor. He was more than willing to respond to all of my boat-related questions, kept us ladies entertained and finely dined, never left a glass run empty for more than a minute and made sure we had fun!
    A truly indispensable experience for smaller groups, offering incredible views, sights of penguins and insane entertainment 🤩

    The sunset tour with Matic on his wonderful boat was absolutely the highlight of our time in Slovenia- there really is no better way to view Piran. Add excellent food and wine, plus outstanding company, perfect weather, and some sheltered swimming away from crowds, and you have an all around fantastic experience. Many thanks, Matic, if we ever get the chance to return, we will happily join you again!

    The best day trip we could have asked for. Matik was responsive, helpful, and kind throughout the entire booking process as well as on the boat. He was able to provide everything we asked for and remained flexible to make sure we had the exact type of trip we were looking for. If you are thinking about doing a boating excursion, look no further. Awesome day; only wish we would have booked a couple of extra hours as it was so perfect. BONUS: He is an expert in Slovenian wine, so we had fun trying many new wines with the delicious snacks on board.

    Absolutely magical! From the moment we stepped aboard Matic was the perfect host. The boat is so beautiful & every comfort is thought of. The “snacks” were delicious & plentiful. (We did not need dinner!)

    We booked a 4 hour trip from 5pm so we could swim & watch the sunset. The paddle board was a really fun addition for swimming

    Matic is a true gentleman - so calm & quiet but making sure we had a wonderful experience.

    Recommend highly.

    Best Captain ever, never missed to fill our glasses. Full glass of wine every 5 minutes. Really sympatico and not boring. Nice boat, wish it was mine. Slovenia is beautiful. Salty water and amazing sunset feeling. The transfer was managed by the captain, who did answered every question immediately. And more than enough food on mine, sorry I mean his boat.

    Our first visit to Slovenia was incredible! We visited Ljubljana, Bled/Bohinj, and Piran. Our trip concluded with an afternoon on the water with Matič at Vintage Boat Tours and it couldn’t have been a better way to say “goodbye” to this beautiful country and all of the people who contributed to our experience. Matič was punctual and mapped out a relaxing cruise for us to enjoy, including the Bay of Piran, views of the coastal towns of Izola & Trieste, before anchoring for an hour so we could cool off in the water. To say Matič is hospitable is an understatement. Our drinks were never empty, the fresh local meats and cheeses arrived just when we needed them, and his willingness to share his knowledge of and his personal connection with this part of Slovenia made us feel like we got the true “local” experience. Don’t miss this as a part of your trip to Slovenia. Bring a playlist, be prepared to relax and enjoy.
