Dear Nikša, Martina, Ivan & Peter,
Thanks for a truly wonderful stay, made even more enjoyable thanks to a cohesive, fun, happy team. Your top-notch crew cared for us, made us feel at home, helped us relax and party… we wish we could stay longer. We hope we’ll be back and see you again, one way or another! In addition to the people, the boat is of course magnificent and made all of us fall in love with not just sailing, but sailing on a Lagoon 77.
We spent wonderful days with you, your help, your smiles, food. I felt safe and happy with you. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip!
Thank you very much to you all!

“To the whole crew. Only good intentions. Only discoveries. Only special situations. Thank you to the whole crew, perfect kitchen, impeccable sceneries, well-kept boat, very professional crew.
A very comfortable boat with very good stability.
Looking forward to return again soon, Croatia is a beautiful country requiring more time than just one week.”
As you know I do a lot of business and from my point of view of great experience, I am totally impressed by the job you and your team pulled off in 2020. Extremely professional and making the very best of a bad situation.
I am personally grateful for what you and the team achieved and look forward to many more years of working together

To the wonderful Adriatic Dragon crew, some of the best people to guide us on an unforgettable journey. Not only was this trip a fantastic experience, with delicious food, breathtaking sights it was also those kind of trips that your remember fondly on clouder days or during cold nights. Thanks to Marco for the excellent navigation and for finding awesome spots. To Simon(Šime) for cooking delicious food. I’d wish he’d come back with us. For Ivan for both being a serious protector, and a funny friend. And to Barbara, whose warm, radiating smile and kind heart made us feel right at home. It is a kind coincidence we get the page in this guestbook that has the Emerson quote on the right. Because without these amazing people, on this magnificent boat, we would not live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild and play.
Kindest regards

What a wonderful week we have had visiting Milna, Stari-grad, Korcula, Lastovo, Vis and back to Hvar. The crew have been fantastic. We even met Ivanka’s mother on Korcula and did some wine tasting with the family. Thanks for sharing your family with us Ivanka. The onboard meals were as good as there in the finesst restaurants on land. Thank you Tea.
We enjoyed a couple of bike rides on a historical tour of Vis which were all super organised by our terrific skipper Goran.
Thanks for all the memories.

I am writing a review of our recent sailing holiday. Firstly, you have a very beautiful country and you all must be very proud. The Lagoon 620 catamaran was first class, spacious, great condition and met all our expectations. The crew – Boris, Maria and Dragan – were also excellent. and we were made to feel welcome with a high level of professional friendly service.Boris quickly found out our preferences and adapted the course to suit us. Maria was very attentive, approachable and professional making our holiday very relaxed and enjoyable. Dragan, what can I say, the meals on board exceeded our expectation and were quality restaurant standard. A great holiday had by all. 5 star experience. Thank you for all your service including organising transfers from and to the airport particularly on our last day which finished our holiday in Split on a good note. Thanks again!
The number one thing to know about the Adriatic Lion is that the Crew is outstanding. Captain Zoki is an incredible Sailor. He knows the area intimately and if the guests tell them what they are looking for Zoki will find it. The team of Zoki and Sanja do a great job previewing the day ahead asking for input from the guests, preparing the sailing plan, putting together the meal plan giving options as they talk. Additionally Sanja is a extremely warm, funny caring person who is just a delight to spend time with. Mladn is an outstanding Chef, we had thought that we would eat at least half our dinners ashore but after sampling Mladn’s food it became very difficult to leave. The crew shops for fresh produce nearly everyday (looking for specialties of island) and it was an unexpected treat. Finally the 2018 Lagoon 62 is a really beautiful boat with plenty of room for gathering but also plenty of space for couples to separate for awhile and enjoy some solitude. There is plenty of covered space as well a two distinct area for sunbathing. Access to the water is easy via the the rear decks. We had eight people aboard and the boat easily accommodates 10. It was hot on our trip (90’s Fahrenheit) and the AC was powerful and welcome. Our daily experience included a lot of sightseeing from the boat, visiting interesting villages and scenic bays, Stand up paddling, swimming and playing games on board. Spending a week on board was such a wonderful relaxing experience. For our group it was a world class incredible vacation that we won’t ever forget.
I’m thrilled to be the first to review the Adriatic Lion! I just returned to the U.S. after a week on board, celebrating my 50th birthday. There were 7 in our group and I know I speak on the group’s behalf when I say this was an absolutely wonderful experience. The Adriatic Lion is gorgeous, spacious, immaculate and leaves no amenity to be desired. But even more importantly, Captain Zorislav (Zoki), Chief Stewardess Sanja, and Chef Mladen (Cuoco) were amazing beyond words. Truly, this team is what made the week so incredible. The three of them provided absolutely top-notch service that is so rare to find, along with exceptional expertise in each of their roles. Whatever we needed, whatever we wanted, and even whatever random questions we had about the history and nature of beautiful Croatia, this amazing team of 3 delivered. Thank you Zoki, Sanja and Cuoco for an experience we will never forget!
Our week aboard the Lagoon 620, Opal, was sublime. My husband and I joined with four other couples from the U.S. and Canada for a what turned out to be a wonderful mixture of laziness, leisure, fine dining, a bit of hiking and shopping, lots of fun playing in the water with SUPs and kayaks, near perfect weather and great fun with great friends. And at every single step, we were coddled and cared for by the amazing, talented crew members Boris, Maja and Dragan. The Opal is a beautiful boat; the photos don’t do it justice. It’s pristine and spacious. Boris skillfully skippered the Opal into quiet, scenic coves for swimming and relaxing. Maja quietly and efficiently poured coffee in the mornings and wine the rest of the day, and kept the Opal clean and tidy. She makes a remarkable cappucino! Dragan is a chef of the first order, who served delicious, nutritious meals of meats, fish, vegetables, and even baked a birthday cake on our last evening. What a spectacular way to visit Croatia. Thank you, Adriatic Sailing. From original inquiry to booking to checking in to a grand sailing adventure, you are all first rate and first class. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The boat and crew were faultless. We had the most amazing week in Croatia. If you’re thinking of hiring them just do it. You won’t be disappointed.
I keep bragging about the experience and the staff to everyone that asks. More than happy to be a reference. The best vacation of my life.
Global Rating: 5/5 (Excellent) Beyond expectations
Outstanding service. The food was better than we thought possible. The off boat recommendations from the Captain, Boris, were excellent. The Croatia shores, islands, views, water, historical sites and activities were outstanding. One of the best vacations I have ever taken.
I would like to THANK YOU VERY MUCH, you have made the whole process very easy, you are quick and efficient at replying, and we are delighted with the service you have provided so far. I have spoken to other charter companies and you definitely shine out as being the most trustworthy and easy to use.

What a week!
The yacht and crew are amazing. We had the best times and are sure to come again. Special thanks for showing us very good sights in Hvar and the history of Vis (Do not miss the tour).
