Sally, the trip went very well indeed. We would be hard pushed to expect any better. The boat was adequately furnished as advertised, very clean and very efficiently run. Toys and facilities all in working order and always at hand. The crew were always prompt, efficient and very courteous, eager to please with a genuine smile. Captain Mate runs an excellent crew and is very professional. The food was excellent and varied. The Captain’s wife was in charge of the kitchen and worked tirelessly to impress us with her skills. We had a wonderful time on board and have nothing to complain about. We would certainly recommend the Son de Mar to friends and families that enjoy the sea and love the simple, essential pleasures of a laid-back life on board a very good value for money yacht. DM

Hello Colin! We had an excellent time and our guests were very happy! All in all, it was fabulous. Everything was as or better than we expected. So, were we impressed by our experience? Yes! Did everyone do a fantastic job? Absolutely! Would we change anything? No! It was perfect. We will be back if we are able to make it for our first anniversary. Best, C.B.

Hi Trina, it was a perfect week. Couldn’t have asked for more from the crew, boat, food, or the beauty of Croatia. Actually, on our last night in Dubrovnik, once we realized how quick it was going to be for the crew to head back to Split (and since we were paying for the fuel already), we asked if they could return us there. They were thrilled to, as that gave them extra time off, so all ended in great spirits. Tomo is easily the best captain we’ve chartered with and we would recommend him and HUNKY DORY to any group of 4-6. Thanks so much for all your help.

Dear Amanda, Firstly, the Crews' attention to detail was quite exceptional. Their work ethic and the chemistry among the crew made our experience very enjoyable. It's typical to single out any one individual in particular, but Captain Erik's leadership and Chef Inn's cuisine are worthy of extra mention. Gaelle and Georgia make an exceptional team providing service without being intrusive, and Gaelle's extra touches made for some very special moments. Anthon and Chris worked extremely hard to make sure everything ran smoothly with the yacht. Finally on the crew, their interpersonal skills made our experience really enjoyable. Regarding the yacht, it was the best yet - perfect for our needs. The decor is lovely and extremely comfortable. The itinerary put together by the team enabled us to experience all the best of the French Mediterranean. We would not change anything. This was our fifth yacht experience and the best by a country mile! It's probable that we would like to book Arion for an Italian cruise next year around the same timeframe. Thanks for putting this together. Best regards, JP & PK

Dear Nicolas, best crew and trip ever. Very nice people overall. Main highlight were Karel (chief stew) and the chef. Amazing food (best ever also). Captain always nice and flexible (very important). Thanks a lot. G. P.

Dear Nick, I took me while to get back to you after such a wonderful trip. We had a great time, the crew was the best we had, very professional and knowledgeable, and the service was excellent. We also were very happy with itinerary. Let’s plan to see each other at the boat show at the end of the month. Many thanks again. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Kind regards S.I.
