Thank you Anchor Croatia for such an amazing experience. We were in a Split area and even though it was february, the weather was amazing for the whole week so we decided to find out if there were any available sailboats to go on a day tour. We found Anchor Croatia by recommendation of our good friend and we decided to go with them.
We arrived at the boat early morning so that we had a whole day of sailing to the island of Solta and Blue Lagoon. This area is a beautiful place, and the weather spoiled us with incredible views and experiences. There is nothing that compares to clipping along at 7-8 knots through a smooth sea.
Given the circumstances of Covid, right from the beginning of our day trip we felt safe, well looked after, all while still making sure you feel special and welcomed. We had no previous experience and loved every step from picking up the basics from our supportive skipper to sailing by ourselves later.
We would really highly recommend the trip to anyone looking to learn, experience and enjoy sailing. You won’t regret it, it’s great fun!

Justine, we absolutely loved having you as a guest! Thank you for visiting us. We have been blessed with amazing weather and the day was perfect for sailing with wonderful company.
We hope you come again this summer. I can't wait to show you all the wonderful wineries on Vis island that we spoke about!

2 years ago when we came to Croatia we took ferries to the islands, this year we decided to get a private speed boat transfer to Hvar directly from the airport. I will never take a ferry again! Anchor Croatia was waiting for us at the airport terminal with cold water bottles and they took us directly to Hvar on a Private Speed Boat. This is the only way to travel !

This is a must do if you want to experience the pleasure of sailing in perfectly calm waters between spectacular Croatian islands.
Visiting Croatia for the first time my husband and I decided to take 5 days on a yacht to explore the islands between Split and Dubrovnik and Anchor Croatia had been highly recommended to us by a family member. We were on the Elan impression yacht 'Frigg' which sleeps 8 so there was plenty of room for the 2 of us and our skipper.
Marko and Jen were extremely helpful in providing advice and tips for our sailing itinerary as well as for our entire time in Croatia, answering emails and taking phone calls from us in Australia. Marko was our skipper and along with being extremely experienced and helpful he was kind and fun to be with, sharing his knowledge and love of his country and entertaining us with stories of his travel adventures. We visited Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula, mooring in little bays at night or at marinas in town.
It was amazing being able to stop in secluded bays to swim, snorkel or paddleboard in crystal clear turquoise waters and every single recommendation for a restaurant or local dish to try was a winner.
We travelled in September to avoid the summer crowds and the weather was a bit more changeable but still warm and the water a lovely 24 C . The boat is beautifully maintained and Marko's sailing skills and knowledge of weather conditions are first class. He always knew the best route to take and the best place to moor.
Would definitely do this again with Anchor Croatia only for longer next time.

Because of Covid our family wanted to stay away from large crowds and decided to take a sailing holiday. Marko and Jennifer made our entire vacation unforgettable. With 2 little kids, we were worried at first about how they would do with traveling on a boat. But they loved every moment. Jennifer went out of her way prior to the holiday to help us create a perfect itinerary for our family. When we arrived there were even water toys for the kids. Our captain Marko took us to the most magical swimming spots and we cooked delicious meals on the boat. All kitchen equipment is on the boat, and they even have an ice maker which is great especially when it's 30 + celsius outside. We are hoping to make this a yearly vacation tradition for our family

My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic time sailing for 3 nights and 4 days with Captain Marko and his lovely sister Marija, who joined us to help with meals and general care. The main draw is the pure pleasure of visiting the islands near Split (Solta, Brac, Vis, Hvar) and seeing them from the water, but Marko and Marija could not have been better hosts. Marko is an experienced, entertaining and knowledgeable sailor who answered all our questions, shared stories, and gave us space as needed. His boat (Frigg) is modernized, efficient and very comfortable. I also appreciated that in an industry that typically requires a full-week charter, we were able to sail for a shorter time, which for us was perfect and left space to visit more distant parts of Croatia. Knowing something about sailing is a benefit but by no means required, and I would still recommend this highly for someone with no experience on the water. I would absolutely go straight back to him for our next trip to Split. 5 stars, no reservations.

We spent 7 days in Croatia exploring the area from Zadar to Dubrovnik. Couple days prior to our arrival we contacted Anchor Croatia for a two days sailing trip even though we knew that it could be a windy and rough sea. But the weather was so nice with just the perfect amount of wind for sailing.
This sailing tour was exactly what we were looking for! If you want to get out and see around the islands this is the way to do it. Also, Capt. Mark was a great guy and a great guide. He made it such a fun time for everyone. This company really delivers an authentic tailor- made experience.
Thanks Mark for a fabulous two days!

We had so much fun on our private sailing adventure with Captain Marko! We know its not summer in Croatia, but it was a chance to see the beauty of nature intact in these winter days. The boat was beautiful, and it is so wonderful being out on the water again, and learning more about sailing.
Beginning of the day was a bit windy which was ideal for sailing around Solta island. Later on we enjoyed the calm weather, drinking wine and good stories. And side note he played great tunes.
Excellent experience and would say to look no further when considering a private excursion. The best way to spend a day.

Only giving 5 stars because I can’t give 10! I’ve been in hospitality and tourism for over 25 years, and can tell when a company practices what they preach. Anchor Croatia goes above and beyond, offering unique experiences that highlight the Dalmatia region. From restaurants and wine tastings, to the most beautiful coves for swim stops, Anchor Croatia made me feel like part of a family. The partnerships they have with local tour operators speaks volume at their professionalism and loyalty. If you’re looking for a private charter company for your family vacation, business retreat, or really anything on a boat, look no further.

I can’t say enough about Anchor Croatia - from their close attention to detail and their personalized service, they are top notch and genuinely care about giving their clients a once in a lifetime experience. We recently returned from a week long food and wine cruise from Dubrovnik down to Split with Marko and Jennifer. Our days were filled with swim stops, amazing food (highlighted by their close relationships with local suppliers and restaurants), great service and different locations to check out, every night. They are the premier charter company of the Dalmatia region and they would absolutely be my first choice when returning.

WOW! Just WOW!
This was a special birthday surprise booked by my partner. We had never sailed before so we had no expectations.
We had three super relaxing days meandering islands and anchoring in uninhabited bays whilst exploring WWII coves.
Marko was an excellent Captain sharing stories and the history of the coast.
The trip was made even extra special by Markos co-host and girlfriend Jen, who shared her vast knowledge of local wines and food.
We visited some fabulous out of reach restaurants and had the most amazing time.
Our only complaint was that the trip was too short!
