This is our fifth Sunsail flotilla and without doubt the most enjoyable. This was all down to the fantastic lead crew of Jesse, Becky and Filip. Their professionalism in keeping all 11 yachts safe especially with a storm to cope with mid week, was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went to great lengths to make the whole week so much fun. Sailing around these stunning Dalmatian islands is an absolute pleasure. We will be back! Thank you Sunsail!

We spent a wonderful week on a flotilla with Sunsail. It was an amazing experience, the boats were well-equipped, and the itinerary was mapped out to offer a variety of opportunities to explore the Croatian Islands. Our lead team Adam, Jesse, and Becky were very professional, knowledgeable and FUN! I, unfortunately, fell on the first day of sailing while walking on the island and Becky managed all of the details to help us get to the mainland, get treated for my fractured arm, and get us back to the flotilla in time to set sail in the morning. Without her help, I am not sure I would have been able to continue on for the week. It was truly was an amazing experience and I look forward to sailing again.

Fantastic bareboat charter with Sunsail. The boat was clean and well maintained, check in and check out were very efficient. Mika and Elias were both supporting us from a route planning and technical point of view, and they were very responsive and professional. We had a fab time, would recommend to all our friends, and we’ll be back!

Another week long flotilla with sunsail this time out of agana. As always it was a fantastic week.

Our original boat was out of commision for the week so they upgraded us to a slightly bigger one which was great.

Adam and India were brilliant from start to finish, always willing to go the extra mile with India even researched amd booked a wine tasting for us on our storm bound day and Adams direction and calmness made docking a breeze!

Kieron gave us the boat brief which was the perfect length and amount of detail and after some staff sickness was the engineer for the 2nd half of the week and resolved our technical issues quickly and even taught us some bits.

Already looking at booking the next one.

Shout out also to fin who assisted India and Adam whilst we were down an engineer.

Absolutely amazing experience! Sunsail crafted us a package that allowed me to do my first flotilla as a newly trained skipper, but also get my family and friends to competent crew level with a Sunsail training skipper.

The whole experience was fantastic – apart from the having to come home part!

Two weeks with back to back Krka and Hvar flotillas, both highly recommended. Doing both enables the icing on the cake over the free weekend – a trip to the very beautiful island of Vis, which was a real highlight (not least because we had a fast reach both ways). Superb scenery, great food and a very different atmosphere to other islands.

Lead skippers Michael and Adam were highly professional, patient and good natured. India the hostie was very attentive and personable, mature beyond her years. Kieran, the “fixer of problems” was also attentive and good company. All great assets for Sunsail.

Our monohull was generally well maintained and sailed well. We have had issues on past flotillas (not all Sunsail) with dinghy engines, and this trip was unfortunately no exception. We think this is quite an important safety issue as very often the first use of a dinghy is free sailing alone, going off to a restaurant at night. Also, we think couples should be prioritised with lighter dinghy engines (2 stroke or electric) as 4 stroke engines are very heavy for ageing couples to move off the boat transom.

Finally, we’d just highlight that boat moorings and even buoys are extremely expensive in Croatia relative to other sailing areas. I don’t think Sunsail had made this sufficiently clear in advance. As a general rule, we favour wilder overnight destinations on flotilla holidays over marina and town quays – for example the final night of the Hvar flot was a raft at a restaurant in Sesula Bay – very enjoyable indeed, and free provided you eat onshore.

Marina Agana is a lovely place to start and finish a flotilla – there’s a very nice beach opposite the marina, with a laid back beach bar. Both Uber and Bolt taxi apps work well – we paid just €20 each way.

Overall, strongly recommended.

First Flotilla sailing holiday experience for this family with adult children and their friends. We arrived slightly apprehensive that the flotilla model would be too regimented and enforced-bonhomie for our preference, but we need not have worried. The holiday was a great success from start to finish thanks to the excellent lead crew (Jesse, Becky and Filip), the matchless surroundings and weather of Croatia, and the perfectly configured and maintained boat. Thank you Sunsail. Can’t wait to book the next one..

We have just completed a week’s flotilla
Sailing from Agana Marina with Jesse, Becky and Filip. These guys couldn’t have done anything more to make our week so much fun, they delivered in every aspect. Very knowledgable and perfect hosts. Even when the storm hit they had an excision planned.
The passage mapped for us made for some great sailing, scenery and ensured we had enough entertainment and provisions. Thanks guys!

Finn, Carraig and Elle were fantastic. Great service, communication and support.
Great suggestions for places to see. They were fun and well organized. Croatia is amazing!

We had an amazing week with Sunsail. The weather and fair winds helped of course but the lengths that our wonderful lead crew (Michael, India and Kieran) went to, to ensure we had the best time possible, made it truly memorable. Thank you all so much, from the crew of Stellar

We have just spent an incredible week making the most of the beautiful bays and coves, wind and food of Hvar. Finn, Elle and Carraig were the most friendly and professional lead crew, helping us enjoy every moment in this beautiful place. Great yacht for 8, comfortable and easy to handle as we made our way (largely under sail) between islands. Enjoyed making flotilla friends and the happiest memories. We’ll be back for sure!

We had a wonderful charter sailing experience in Croatia. This was our first yacht charter and we found the Sunsail team incredibly helpful. We sailed bareboat but the base crew were really supportive throughout the experience. Sunsail were very helpful in suggesting routes and different anchorages & marinas. Our yacht was in great condition particularly considering we visited end of August, at the end of the busiest period of the season. The Dalmatian coast is stunning and this area was perfect for a first charter. We can’t wait to charter again and will definitely use Sunsail for our next experience!

Most amazing wonderful experience
Hats off to Adam Becky and Jesse for making this such a memorable trip
Our 6 women crew rocked it with your help

This was our first flotilla and we were delighted, it was an absolutely amazing experience and nothing disappointed. We were initially a little apprehensive as we had young children and were a little unsure if they would fit in, but they were made very welcome and really enjoyed their experience on the water. We experienced so much in a week I could almost right a book but we have taken away such great memories. We are very grateful to the team at Sunsail for everything they did to ensure we had such a great week.

Outstanding week as usual, lead boat crew were absolutely amazing, one or two small niggles with the boat which were dealt with promptley, Amazing rout up to Skradin and back, would absolutely recommend.
Becky, Jesse and Adam were friendly , helpful and made the holiday

Wonderful maiden voyage from Agana!

This was our first flotilla and the first time aboard a sail boat for the rest of my family (husband and children ages 8 and 12). The whole experience was fantastic. Team SunSail (Finn, Elle and Carraig) were super organised and made sure everything ran smoothly for us.

A special mention for our instructor Tadek who stayed on board with us for the week and, very patiently and so articulately, ensured we received the training needed to ensure we came away with x2 competent crew and one qualified skipper at the end! Tadek is a huge credit to himself and SunSail. Being able to communicate in such a mature way at such a young age and being able to fit seamlessly in with our family are such admirable skills.

We couldn’t recommend SunSail highly enough and we would encourage any other family new to sailing to give it a go. You won’t regret it.

The most fabulous, fun-filled, friendly week spent with a lovely group of people. Lead crew India, Fil and Frane looked after us really well, and when a threatened storm made us stay safe in Milna marina for 24 hours, we loved having time to explore and relax. Great sailing, well-equiped boat and super company.
This was our 3rd Sunsail flotilla- perfect for having freedom to explore the beautiful Croatian coast and islands with the safety net of the lead crew to give advice and support when needed. Cannot recommend Sunsail highly enough… Just watch out for that duck!

My wife and I visited the Agana Base in Croatia for a flotilla sailing holiday with Sunsail with two good friends and their 10 & 8 year old boys. The whole experience was amazing. The staff were top notch and professional from the start, and clearly seemed to be working as a team across the base . For example when we first arrived from our taxi we were a little lost, so we asked a member of the excellent cleaning staff who helpfully directed us to the office where we immediately met with our lead crew. The experience of sign in and access to the yacht was faultless and the boat (a beautiful 47ft Jeanneau) was immaculately prepared for us, ready for our holiday.
Over the next week the sailing was wonderful & the lead crew Elle (the hostie), Finn (the skipper) and Fintan (the engineer) were utterly brilliant and attentive. They were fun, professional & clear in the their communications throughout, making our holiday fun, adventurous , safe and thrilling . They were helpful in all aspects of our holiday and really went out of their way to attend to any questions we had . The activities like the group meal, competition dingy racing with blindfolds, with the kids and the quizz in the taverna were well organized , easy to opt in or out of, and great fun.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this team to anyone who wants to experience the incredible sailing environment of Croatia. We really couldn’t have asked for a better experience . Thank you Sunsail Team Agana.

This was our first flotilla experience with our family (boys aged 12 and 14). We did the Havar flotilla. For us the support provided by the Sunsail crew was completely outstanding. They could not have been more helpful whether it was helping us manover our boat into a marina on a windy day, fun evening activities, advice on beautiful places to stop during the day to dinner and lunch reservations. Our boat was impeccable and so well kitted out. We will definitely be returning!

Just back from an excellent week on the Brac flotilla in Croatia
Our third flotilla out of Marina Agana
Great lead boat crew of Ada, India and Duka
Clear instructions and briefings from Adam who quickly assessed which boats and crews needed more help or less help
Duka and the technician was excellent always looking for work and checking all was well on our yacht
India was tireless in organising dinners restaurant bookings and fun events
Consistently upbeat she added a lot of local knowledge and advise to us all
Well done all. We shall be back next year
