There are no words that could express my gratitude to Filip for the experience that he provided to us on our sailing adventure! We have spent an amazing week on a sailing boat, and fell in love with the Adriatic sea, Croatian islands and especialy with our new friend for a lifetime - skipper Filip Dumancic. When you travel to a new place, like we did, the skipper has a key role in organizing you the route. We couldn't have asked for more! Filip is young but experienced and reliable, cheerful but responsible. He showed us so many hidden places, lagoons, caves and beaches and magical towns made of stone. He was willing to fulfill all our wishes in terms of the things that we wanted to see on our sailing, so each member of the crew was pleased. Sometimes, we felt like we were in a movie because of the scenery that was around us, and especially while visiting some local households and restaurants, that foreigners like us could never find. When you spend so much time on a boat it is extremely important who are you with; in our case, we felt like Filip was our friend, and not a person that we have met for the first time. He was very easygoing, so it was very simple to find the right language and the daily routine that works. Filip's love for mother nature ("majka priroda" as he taught us) and his ecological awareness made us think about the way we live, and I am sure that nothing will be the same after this trip. He will always be my captain. ❤…

We spent an amazing week sailing in Croatia with our skipper, Filip Dumancic. When we met with him, each of us had specific wishes of what we wanted from this trip and he went above and beyond to fullfill all of our desires. He immediately showed us the basics of sailing and we embarked from the marina swiftly. The very first night we saw the Milky Way and swam in a plankton-rich cove, with the planktons shimmering around us in the dark. We quickly realized we were about to experience the trip of a lifetime. Over the next few days, Filip took us to hidden caves, we swam in a crystalline turquoise lagoon, visited beautiful old towns and fisherman villages, and even managed to see dolphins one evening as the sun was setting :). Each and every evening was a dream; we drank local wine, ate fresh-caught seafood and Filip played traditional Croatian music for us. He even taught us fun games to play in the sea, that the guys in our group particularly enjoyed. One day, he organized a BBQ for us on a little beach and showed us his home base. He knew to save the best for last, and on our last evening, he booked us a dinner at a restaurant in a hidden cove, with no one else in sight. We woke up to the most beautiful sunrise imaginable. Filip got along with us fantastically, was extremely hardworking but also very easy going and adaptable to our every whim. He was a joy to be with, and his evident, enormous love for the sea truly made our trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to go sailing with him again next year!…

With a group of friends we rented a catamaran Lagoon 50 (Milla) for 10 days at the end of Aug into Sept 2020. The catamaran was immaculately kept and ideal for sailing around the islands in comfort with air-con and onboard wifi! The rooms were spacious and highly recommend you get the starter pack which includes all your amenities, towels etc. We were also lucky to have Marko (Skipper) and Jelena (Hostess) as our crew. They were super fun and accommodating yet professional in everything they did for us. Marko knew exactly where to take us to have unique experiences throughout the islands away from all the other tourists and sailed the boat like an admiral! He had recommendations for places, restaurants and experiences that made our trip special. Jelena was superb with her cooking, her company and taking care of our needs throughout the 10 days. There was nothing she couldn't do! Overall, one of the best travel experiences and holidays I've ever taken! Thanks Marko and Jelena and we hope to see you next year....…

Fifteen star experience with Marko and Jelena. They knew all the spots and worked so hard to make our experience magical and accomodated our requests no matter how small. Excellent. We regret not extending the trip by a month

We have spent a week on a catamaran, sailing through the beautiful islands near Split. The boat was big, wide, new, comfortable and clean; our skipper Marko has been fantastic, very professional, kind and pleasant, organizing for us a beautiful trip according to our preferences. We highly suggest this kind of trip, and we would love to be back on board soon, alongside Marko. Danielis Yachting company was very professional and guided us through the entire process, from choosing the boat and booking it, until the end of our trip.…
