Great time with skipper Tomo, it was best time in Croatia!
Some small issues: no fim on the standup paddle, Engine of dinght boat Not working and anchor maintanance not ok. In the end all was fixed but could be avoided.
We had an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly skipper (Paul) who took us to all the best spots and adjusted the itinerary to suit our group. There were some initial miscommunication issues with the owner which were resolved adequately. Boat is comfortable and fits 6 of us well. Also great that it is a sailboat so it kept fuel prices down!
Great and friendly skipper (Borna), great boat and together with a magnificant route around the islands & marinas (per skipper's recommendation) we had a wonderful sailing experience. Can highly recommend this boat to others as well, provided us (4 guests) with some lasting, good memories.
Nice boat , full optional and very well maintained. Dodo has been professional, responsive and very flexible. Tomo has been the best skipper in 25 years of sailing for his technical skills and his attitude very warm but very respectful of our privacy. The itinerary was perfect.
Just back from our first trip through Click and Boat. It was a family trip with small kids and so we decided to keep it short (4 nights). We had a lovey sailing experience and really enjoyed the adventure and the wonderful sites we visited. Our skipper Zoran was very polite, friendly and perfect company. Some guests might find the boat basic but we were very happy with it. I wanted to take my young daughters on a sailing adventure to give them a taste of what it's like to live on a small boat but we had to be conscious to do that within our budget. My only two suggestions to improve the booking experience is that it's made perfectly clear on the charter extras before you complete your booking. We had requested to sail from Split but in fact the boats location is a 2.5hr extra journey from Split to the island of Vis with a round trip cost of €50. On the initial communication with the boats opener, Dodo, Vis was mentioned but not the fact that it required moving from the mainland. Viz was great and in the end we were happy to sail from there but if you're tight on time you'll need to factor in that extra transfer. Lastly the night before we were to check in we were told by Dodo that we needed to provide a daily meal for (€40) for the skipper each day. In the end we were happy to but it should have been outlined before we booked. These extra charges (same if you wanted to use the SUP board or fishing rod) made us feel like we were being hustled and unfortunately that left us feeling a bit unhappy with dealing with Dodo. Thanks again tk Zoran
Really a great boat to explore the Croatian coast, its beautiful bays & lovely towns. Enough comfort for 5 persons + skipper (superb and experienced person!). Plus: contact and communications with boat owner Dodo were great. Many thanks, see you next time!
We had an outstanding skipper, Eddie, who was most pleasant, accommodating and knowledgeable throughout. The boat was technically in good condition. Communication with owner was good and prompt. Overall a positive vacation experience.
Dodo boat was nice and clean but they were items broken/malfunctioning ,which made us struggle. , Some of them are the following : *the auto pilot was not working. * the Mainsheet rig broke when preparing to sail, fortunately no one was injured.( shackle broke ) *the dinghy motor didn’t work (which made it hard to reach shore ), *regarding the rented paddle board, we had to duck tape the paddle, but at the end we could not use it since the board had no fins * the battery was not charging properly as well, Only charged on marinas , no engine charging * when rained ,water came inside in some of the windows * speedometer was not working as well . Such things that made our Holliday to have a different outcome. Honestly this sailboat need to retire from providing a service until all the issues are corrected [Context from the owner] The yacht was booked for shortest/cheapest package of -+ 48 hours. After we tried to explain that the route ambitions on the wish list need to be put in line with chosen available time frame and weather, our skipper was repeatedly requested to provide impossible: show almost half of the Croatian coast in this short time frame, including the last night which was rainy and stormy and therefore stayed in the base. The long list of our previous most common longer charters successfully delivered earlier and moslty good reactions here from many of our guests (most don't even write it here) show our capabilities for us. The SUP padle and dinghy byboat are extra equipment and not part of the boat, first we deducted in charge when still used without the small fin and dinghy we gave for free. Sometimes a small things need repair and so we did it the next day, but this short charter was already over and still those details did not prevent charter to be consumed and delivered, the yacht was sailing without any interuptions caused by those little things that can always happen and we repair them on the way. As it was skippered charter, not bare boat, sthe skipper is and was here in charge of navigation and provided needed solutions professionaly so it is not up to guests to worry how is he doing this or how the yacht will sail, on the auto pilot (there was electric error on him at this day and was repaired the next) or manual what was the solution here. This is also why we preffer skippered charter above the bare boat, so that we provide the solutions directly, what was here the case. One marina at the 1st night of 2 on this route had problems with voltage, not our yacht, due to overcapacity there that night, the others were okay and when yacht engine on it does run the 12 V standard otherwise it would and not be able to start the main engine, run the fridge and all other systems on board and then, the charter would be paused for the reparation. This did not happened here, the route plan as planned by our skipper based on the time frame chosen by the guest and the weather that time was fully completed. Finally, the yacht is maintained all the time, standard procedure. Mostly in the winter. Still, things can happen, and then we repair them. Here, it was a short charter + rainy night, so all the imediate improvements next day needed were done, but were also too late for this guest to notice. Proud owners.
Well organized, skipper Borna was very good. We had the most of our three days.
We had an amazing time on Dodo's boat!! Dodo was very quick at responding and our skipper, Borna was great company and very fun to be around. There were 4 of us and I would suggest that this is the perfect amount. 6 maximum, but preferably couples. The cabins are spacious but the seating area on the boat would get a bit crowded with any more people. I highly recommend!!!!
All was perfect, the skipper was very kind and friendly. The travel was beautifull.
Enjoyed a short boat experience with a group of friends, the skipper was friendly and we had no problems. Almost unique opportunity to spend less than a week on a sailboat in high season in the area.
We were 8 people plus skipper and we really enjoyed a lot the cruise, however the boat space is ideal for 6 people plus skipper. Islands around Vis are howesome and sailing is the best way to enjoy them!
Very satisfied with the boat and services. We arranged for a pickup at the airport and that was a fabulous start of the holiday - directly from the plane to the boat! Very kind skipper (Borna).
Great boat and even better skipper. Thank you Zoran for making us enjoy an amazing week and thank you Dodo for making so easy everything. We really enjoyed your boat and sailing around Croatia. We will definitely be back. Many thanks
We had the best experience! Thanks Don & the team 👌🏼
We booked the boat with Dodo in Croatia to sail around the Islands Vis, Hvar, Brac and Solta. All in all we had a wonderful trip. The communication with Dodo went excellent, he is a very helpful Person and tried to assist us whenever possible. There were some things to be fixed at the boat: Bimini, reef rope, toilet, Anemometer, log. Additionally it would be helpful to create an Option (like PayPal, blocking on credit card or whatever) to pay the deposit not in local currency. The simple reason is that whenever payable in cash only while living in a EUR Country we'd have to convert back which cost a lot of fees. All in all we knew the boat is a bit older and we tried to pay less then the market average. Beside this we had a great Skipper who showed us the best places and hidden Restaurants which was very awesome. All in all we had a perfect trip and would like to be back to Croatia very soon! All the best from Germany.
Excellent location, affordable price and a great skipper. Thank you!
Good boat and good guys ;)!
Thx for a real nice Trip.
Solid boat that would benefit from better maintainance and updates. Rental price reflects this to some extent. Others should be aware that there are no fans onboard, speedometer does not work, deck fittings loose in some places, no inverter, front cabin head door and front cabin door are broken (do not close correctly so bang around), pilot book onboard has minimal substance, autopilot does not work and the gear level drops back from vibrations over time. The boat was also missing parachute flares and has no liferaft (although this may be common in croatia). VHF radio wires are fraying and we could not get any radio check to respond to test fully. Handover was a bit frustrating as we were told cash deposit was needed the day before, they cannot hold anything on card. Round trip this costed as an extra EUR 100 to get out last minute and convert. No detailed advice on areas was provided on the area until a few days into the trip. We were orignally advised we could turn up early to get space but several of the ACI marinas are now booked well in advance so we had to anchor / find bouys for the first few nights.
The boat is not brand new but it is comfortable. The skipper Zoran is very good, he took us to the most beautiful bays of Brac. Dodo was not always transparent, you have to clearly agree with him on everything. Overall it was a beautiful experience
Value for money ok. I would repeat with some nuances to improve.
Skipper again immediately, but never this boat again. Bozo was the best skipper we have ever had. He took us to great places and real insider tips and we had a great week together. Communication with Dodo in advance was very good and he was very flexible when we had to reschedule the trip, which we appreciate. Unfortunately, the ship is poorly maintained. It's moldy in the bow cabin. And what must not happen at all (safety!) are the torn lines of the sails. So we almost didn't dare to hoist the sails and always kept the mainsail reefed. What we also find unfair: Dodo sold us the drop-off at Split Airport for 245 EUR. Although I asked several times whether this was also possible on our early flight, it didn't work. We still had to pay the amount.
Too much cash to take out in addition to the rental. Language comprehension problem. Excellent navigation and local knowledge. Friendly skipper good cohabitation during the stay.
Optimo skipper, beautiful but somewhat neglected boat, in the forward cabin a wall cover attached with tape has come unglued I had to fix it with new tape, the other part was ungluing, dinghy full of patches was constantly deflating and the motor of the dinghy that gave problems but they say at least the dinghy will be replaced. Very rough boat cleaning, and things left everywhere that created a mess.
Great skiper Bozidar and boat!
It was a wonderful experience, a dignified boat and excellent company: Zoran was the real magic of the holiday, a skipper, a friend, a great travel companion. We are enormously satisfied with all of this and recommend this opportunity to anyone.
Our skippet Borna was great
we had a wonderful time on board & skipper what the best !!!
