Hadley, with CharterWorld, with you - great connection, service, disposition, and support. I will definitely use CharterWorld again. I had been contacting a couple of other brokers and no one found as good a cat with this level of crew and food service. Being late in the season and kind of last minute, kudos to you. The crew were great; Friendly, open, respectful, and joyful. Good disposition to sail, to give us best options, and listen to our needs. The food was good, homestyle, and healthy. The crew were willing to adapt to us and to our child and we felt comfortable with them. We had dinner together which was nice, as they were friendly and receptive to our child too. The boat, nice cat, kept in order, mostly clean and well maintained. Everything worked well and it was good to have Internet. The extra front sail is great on the boat. It is comfortable, and for us as family of 3 good. The indoor living / dining room is a plus. It was very hot and is good to spend some time inside with AC. The main cabin was also comfortable.

Trina! Wow wow wow! We can’t thank you enough. BEST family vacation of our lives. The Captain and the full crew became close with both families. Everything exceeded our highest expectations! Navilux was absolutely PERFECT. INCREDIBLE! We would love to be a reference and referral for you and for Navilux. Every detail was taken care of by the BEST crew and the awesome Captain! Thanks for your super professionalism! We will never forget this sailing experience. Looking forward to doing this in the future again! Cheers

I wanted you to know how great the entire experience was. Both boats, their captains and the crews exceeded all my expectations. The two boats worked beautifully in tandem, and every member of my family said it was the best vacation they’d ever had. The Acapella is an extraordinary yacht, designed with every possible luxury and convenience you can imagine. The yacht was only surpassed by the quality and performance of the captain and the crew. I will unhesitatingly recommend it to all my friends. From beginning to end, the trip has been a seamless joy. You were instrumental in making it happen and I cannot thank you enough. It’s going to be impossible for any future family vacation to live up to this one. Warm regards, S.G.

Reia, the charter was perfect! All the guests had an excellent time onboard, thank you very much. F.O.

LJ, Leigh was the most hands-on Captain we have ever had. To think that she brought this young crew together (ages 23-28) within weeks of the charter and led them to success is a very special thing. We never once heard the word "no". The late-night crew Kenny and Caroline were excellent. Leigh always empowered her crew to take responsibility for their division and would ask "what do you need? How can I help? Who do you need to go with you?", and was so happy, professional, and positive throughout, despite the early mornings and late nights. Chef Ross was outstanding! The boat was fine, loved the master stateroom layout and closet space, and the sun deck.

Hadley, the yacht was in great condition and the photos/e-brochure match exactly to the yacht in person. We were very impressed by the cleanliness. The Chef was fantastic and the star of the yacht. Overall, we had a great time.

Hi Martha, it was fantastic! Thanks for all your help! The captain and crew were amazing, and they made everything really beautiful! Looking forward to booking with you next year. E.

Hi Trina, the trip was wonderful. The Yacht and crew exceeded our expectations, and I would definitely recommend them to any client. The space and layout were particularly good. Having 10 passengers, we were all able to come together but also have separate places to relax outside the staterooms. The pictures showed it well but for example, the showers were oversized in 3 of the rooms, which was nice. The ship was clean and worked as it should. I understand it will be getting all of the white repainted so even older blemishes (which were few) will be repaired next season. There were 9 crew and while they have only worked together for a short time (this is the captain’s first year as well as 7 who have not worked together before this season), they have figured out roles and responsibilities and were professional, attentive, friendly, and always there to assist or anticipate needs. The chef was maybe the most spectacular part. He is young but was absolutely amazing and meals were timely, perfectly made and he was able to feather out different food requirements for the different passengers. 10 was the perfect number although the boat could handle 12. As predicted might happen, the winds did pick up on day two and we had to divert to a new itinerary. It worked out perfectly and everyone had an excellent time. All in all it was a 9.9 - 10 trip (crew and Yacht). Thanks for all your help and look forward to working with you again in the future. R.J

Sally, we were very happy with the charter and especially the service of the crew! It was a very good price-quality ratio. It was the best crew we had ever had; they were remarkable and took great care of us. Smiles from beginning to end, an excellent cook and a very reliable captain. The boat was also very comfortable. J.M.

Sally, Beautiful and magical stay with dear friends and an outstanding crew, thank you!

Sally, everything was extremely good. Thank you so much. We had a great time. Thanks Acapella team. They did an amazing job. All the best. E.S

Hello Martha, we had a really nice week. The boat is impeccable, the crew very professional, and the chef and hostess really exceptional. Thank you! JF

Trina: Our experience on board "Navilux" was simply outstanding. The entire crew led by Capt Ante could not be more hospitable, warm and welcoming. Every aspect of the week was professional and to the highest standard. We had 6 adults and 4 children ranging from 16,14, 13 & 12. Compared to our last time on Navilux we chose more activities this trip: Ebike ride on one island, lighthouse climb, Blue Grotto, Green Grotto, a tour of Korcula (We did last time as well). Superlatives are simply not enough to describe the quality of the boat which although built in 2012 is immaculate and held to the highest standard. Every need is catered to from clean towels and cabins, game s for the kids, special food requirements, water activities etc. The Croatian coast lends itself to easy cruising, secluded anchorages, water clear as gin as well as opportunities to visit small villages and towns on the various islands. The food is almost too much. We had asked for more simple fare for our lunches this trip and were rewarded with salads, fish, BBQ -- Chef Ante is an amazing talent. We had a plethora of fresh seafood as well as pastas and of course his desserts were a hit EVERY night.... This is a luxury charter in every respect. No one could be disappointed with an experience on board Navilux. Our entire family continues to rave about our week (and looking forward to more). Trina, thanks for your help in getting all this arranged. I have passed on your name as well as the link to Navilux to two friends. I will keep you posted if they become serious about a charter. Best, DM

LJ, unequivocally, the boat and the crew (in equal measure) were far and away the best we have ever experienced. The food was excellent and Chef Luca’s skills were on point and always kept in mind the varied special dietary restrictions, seemingly with ease. Captain Massimo was communicative, capable, and caring. Never too busy to answer any questions. Excellent leadership. Respected his longevity with the boat and program. The Stewardess’ were amazing. Never flinching at any special request and being very thoughtful with their level of attention and ability to ‘read the room’ and judge each guest’s needs. The deck team kept the boat in excellent shape and were always working. Ease of transfer from the boat to the beautiful tender was a highlight. Favorite memory: Each day was just perfect. Capri for two nights was a personal highlight. Each meal together was filled with laughter and new memories created. M

It was outstanding. Crew - the best ever. The Captain was very classy."

Captain Jerry and his crew were all amazing, charming and lovable characters. Milan prepared all meals to our likes and knew exactly how to prepare the special diet menus. We would book again with Captain Jerry and his Crew. We simply had a fantastic and memorable time.

It was a fantastic trip. Thanks for all your help in organizing. The boat and the crew are the best. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about a charter. An experience we will no doubt repeat again at some point!!

Martha, we loved the boat and layout. The captain & stew team were good, the deck crew was exceptional.

Martha, our trip was excellent! We all had a blast and the Captain made sure we had the best weather! Best vacation we’ve ever had (and probably will have) in our entire lives! Thanks to the entire crew for the best service and hospitality. We will miss them all! M&E.

Hi Martha, the trip was so much fun. It was a very unique destination for sure, and our families really enjoyed it. Quite different to the other trips we have done, but we embraced the remoteness, amazing people, culture, beautiful country and islands. The boat was top notch and better than our expectations that is for sure. Crew were very professional, chef quite good and all took care of us very well. Thank you for suggesting them. Out of curiosity, what are 4-5 other amazing destinations in Europe we should consider for next year? Thanks! C.

Colin, they were fantastic. Really really good. Tilda was in the past a nanny so she we unbelievable with my son. I actually took them all out to dinner to say thank you for such a perfect trip. Captain’s local knowledge was excellent when it came to places or things we should see or restaurants. All in all great crew, captain very professional, with Tilda and Joa you don’t just have deckhand and stew but a built in nanny and personal trainer too! Excellent! S.M.

It was wonderful. I’d like to rebook for next summer. Too many stories and compliments to write down. Thank you, J.O.

Hi Trina! We had an absolutely amazing time. Honestly everything was great. We really enjoyed the crew; we developed a great relationship with them. All of the destinations were great, and the beach set-ups were perfect! Hope to be able to go back again someday! A.C.

Trina Howes worked with us to find absolutely the right charter for my family and was incredibly proactive and responsive. Very pleasant and easy to work with. Our trip couldn’t have been better! Great crew, from Captain to everyone, extremely professional, attentive and lots of fun. Hope we see them again! P.V.
