“We were disappointed in this boat trip. The boat that we were on was not at all the same as the boat in all the pictures that were on the booking site. It was not even similar.

4-hour Zadar half-day sailing with a friendly skipper, small group, two swim breaks, snorkeling gear, and GoPro moments on the Adriatic.
“Unforgettable sailing trip - 100% recommended! We booked the evening before and set off right on time the next morning. The skipper was super friendly and shared great stories about Croatian culture. Together with the group, we chose which island to stop at, and the skipper gave us amazing restaurant and bar tips - every place was spot on! There was plenty of time at each stop for a coffee or a stroll. Everything was relaxed and well organized, with a great atmosphere on board. We recommend eating at Srdelasnack in Kali - delicious food and not crowded in May.”

However we were at a small swimming cove for…”
Private half-day boat tour from Zadar to Preko and Ugljan Island for snorkeling, masks, island coffee, and skipper-served drinks.
“It wasn't quite what we had understood but we had a lovely morning nevertheless. You are first dropped at one harbour for 1h30 on land then go to another harbour where you are dropped for a further 1h30 mins. If you wish to swim and snorkel you take your own gear at the second stop and walk to a small cove, this was lovely not what we had expected. Probably our mistake misunderstanding the details. The captain, despite not speaking English was very friendly and offered wine and lemon squash. The weather turned on the way back and despite rough seas we felt very safe with the captain.”
