Guest Testimonials

Dear Nicolas, I wanted to thank you again for helping organize last week’s stay on Blush. It is a fantastic boat offering outstanding comfort, elegance, and great fun. Paul and the whole crew proved to be incredibly proactive, caring, friendly and efficient; probably one of the best charter experiences we ever had. Kind regards, J.P.

Hi Colin, it was incredible, loved the boat, and the crew were very professional. Croatia is the best I’ve cruised. . I will most likely want to charter this again. A.F.

Nick! We had a fantastic time! The crew is amazing and we enjoyed it a lot. Hope to make a new charter with you shortly. R.O. BRAZIL / Split – Cavtat, Croatia / 10-20 September 2021

Reia, my clients had only great things to say about the charter. They really loved every minute and said the crew were the best they had ever had. From all the work ahead of time to get alcohol and the limitations on procuring that, and the time you took communicating to all of us, the clients felt extremely taken care of and raved about the experience. One of the principal's guests contacted me 12 hours after boarding and said that he wanted to do this again with his family. Gulet CANER IV, Bodrum Turkish coast, May 2021.

Hi Colin! We had an amazing charter with a great crew. thanks for that! Very happy with the boat and the team. DC

We are so thrilled we got to spend the first week of our honeymoon on LIR! It was the perfect way to start our trip and explore the Amalfi Coast. The crew were absolutely incredible! They were knowledgeable about the area and were flexible and open to itinerary changes. We had a lot of fun first getting to know them as well as great company for a week at sea. Thomas’ food was amazing! We loved everything he made and even cancelled our last dinner to eat on board. Thanks Thomas! Toby and Katie had it all under control – we could really relax and enjoy ourselves. We felt very pampered all week. Thank you all so much – we had the best time!

Hi Trina, we are back on land. It was an incredible trip with captain Arthur and crew. I'm looking forward to doing it again next year! Thanks a lot for putting everything together! Best regards, VH EMOJI / Cannes-Cannes, France / 19-26 August 2021

Hi Colin, Thanks for reaching out. We have had fantastic two weeks! The boat was in top shape and very comfortable. The captain, Pierre Yves, and the hostess, Juliette, were extremely professional, very pleasant and always focused on maximizing our enjoyment during the whole cruise. Pierre Yves really knew what he was doing, super calm even in challenging conditions and a very hard worker. Juliette, also a very hard worker is a fantastic cook and very focused on the different likes of our party. We couldn’t have had a better crew! We would definitely re-charter Mamy Wata with the two of them. BK. MAMY WATA / Calvi, Corsica, France-Olbia, Sardinia, Italy / August 14-28, 2021

Amanda, it was truly so wonderful and memorable! The entire Crew was spectacular - truly amazing at their job and wonderful people - they are a special bunch. It was truly a pleasure to spend time with Miro, Emily and Ksera. Miro oversees everything to a tee, with compete professionalism and kindness - and they all work together so seamlessly! Monica’s massage was blissful, and she is another gem! Karlo's cuisine was so creative and beyond delicious, I ate more in those two weeks than I think I have in 4 months! He is truly gifted! Drago and Maro were the consummate good sports taking our kids on endless trips for water sports (as was miro for some late night pick ups!). We loved it and we adore croatia! They showed us the best way to enjoy such an amazing country! Amanda - thank you for all your help and guidance in getting this trip together. It was a pleasure to work with you, hoping we can do this again soon! Warmly, M AIAXIA / Split-Split, Croatia / August 14-21, 2021

Hi Amanda, the trip on AIAXAIA was AMAZING. What an incredible way of seeing Croatia. The combination of the busy cities and the smaller quiet coves was perfect. Given that we ranged in ages from 16- adults there were so many different interests and tastes for food. Here are some thoughts in no particular order. The kids loved all the watersports. They logged the most hours tubing, jet ski, and bobs. The adults loved the paddle boards and swimming. We used all of it and the guys were troopers taking them out tubing all the time. The deck space and accommodations were beautiful. We all spent a few days reading and relaxing on the decks and if you wanted to find some peace or others both were an option. The rooms were all comfortable and had everything we needed. The food!!! I don't even know where to begin! Carlo is so talented and did an incredible job. Given the wide range in palates, he was incredible every single meal. The range in options in both meat, fish and vegetables was so good. We ended up eating most meals on the boat because nothing was better. We had two nice meals off the boat but all agreed Carlo's food was even better. We loved it because the kids all tried new things and really appreciated how delicious everything was. They are going to have a hard time keeping him, I am sure someone will try and help him start a restaurant. We told him to contact us if he does another week in a NYC restaurant. Captain Toni was fantastic. He had a fantastic itinerary set up for us and made some adjustments for the weather. It ended up being perfect, on the one cloudy day we toured the castle and it kept the temps down. He got up a few mornings early and started the travel so we arrived in our new locations just after breakfast. That was a huge benefit being on the boat. Miro was just superb at his job. He was so professional and took such pride in everything he did. He ran a tight ship and expected the best from the team. His knowledge of the food and wine and everything in between was amazing. We loved hearing about the history of Croatia from him over the past 30 years and his personal experience. We thought that was so important for all of us to understand as we moved through the country. We trusted any suggestion he had as he was always right! The entire crew was great, each one of them went out of their way to make it perfect. The beautiful tables set each meal by Emily and Ksenia, anticipating that we needed one more coffee, and Drago diving into the water to retrieve Tyler's phone was a highlight!! Each one of the staff touched us and we will always remember them. The ladies took such great care of us every day. Monica gave a fantastic massage. It was the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken. Thank you for all your help and hopefully we can do it again. Working with you was such a pleasure and you helped us set up for the trip of a lifetime. All the prework made for a perfect and relaxing trip on the boat. Thank you for everything. All the best, H and EW AIAXIA / Split-Split, Croatia / August 14-21, 2021

Josh, I’d like to tell you how delighted we were with our charter of Play The Game, under the captaincy of Bertrand Vachette. The boat is really wonderful – luxurious, spacious and exceptionally well laid out. It was in very good condition – you would never know it was seven years old. It was well decorated and very well appointed, with no signs of wear (no doubt, a result of the constant cleaning, polishing and attention from the crew!). We especially enjoyed the variety of outdoor seating areas, which meant we could choose different areas for meals and lounging depending upon the weather and our mood. The kids had the two seabobs in constant use – they were a real hit – and the tender was more than capable of acting as a great ski/wakeboard boat. While the boat was wonderful, it was the crew, under the leadership of Captain Bertrand, that really made our holiday magical. Captain Bertrand was exceptional. He listened carefully to our requests and was willing to consider all of our ideas. He was also very proactive in suggesting alternatives and adjustments, based on his experience and his knowledge of the weather and sea. His suggestions always led to great experiences, and we ended up visiting some amazing anchor points, with near perfect wind and water conditions. The one time we “over-ruled” his suggestion and insisted on following our own plan, we ended up with the worst wind/weather conditions of the entire trip. The lesson was clear – take Bertrand’s advice! In addition to communicating his knowledge and experience, Captain Bertrand was also an appropriately social “host”. He made sure that we were very looked after and were always safe, with a healthy dollop of fun. He willingly shared some of his personal stories and experiences and created a trusted relationship with all of our guests very quickly. He also consistently went the extra mile in taking care of our needs. When I (embarrassingly) needed a bigger-sized life jacket to go wakeboarding, it quietly appeared on the boat the next day. When my son was struggling to control the regular wakeboard, phone calls were made, favours called in, and when we reached the next port, a kid-sized wakeboard was magically added to the equipment on board. Bertrand is also a solid leader – it was clear that the crew respected him and had fun with him. He cares cared deeply for the crew and was clearly mentoring his first officer. He also cared deeply for the boat and was always very thoughtful about how to take the best care of it. I would seek Bertrand out as my captain for any future charter! The remainder of the crew was also absolutely fantastic. Frankie, the first officer/chief engineer was clearly very competent in all aspects of caring for the boat. And, as importantly, he was exceptionally mindful of the two children (5 and 8 yrs old) that we had on board. If they were in the water, we could be completely confident that Frankie had one eye on their safety – that is, if he wasn’t in the water playing with them. And out of the water, Frankie was a constant source of entertainment for the kids when he wasn’t looking after his official duties. His energy and enthusiasm was extremely contagious – if Frankie was around, we could be certain that everyone was having a great time. Sandra, our steward, was extremely attentive, and always very friendly. We were never sure how she did it, but whenever a wine glass needed to be filled, a fresh towel was required, or sunscreen needed to be refreshed, she would silently appear and ensure that everyone was well taken care of. She also made one of the best mojitos that I’ve ever had. As with everyone, Sandra and Frankie were always going the extra mile. On the first day, I asked for a type of drink that turned out to be hard-to-find on the island. Frankie made a special early-morning trip on the tender to see if he could source it at the nearest port. When that failed, Sandra took it upon herself to visit five different stores in our next port, going from one to the next until she finally found someone who was stocking what I had asked for. It was a real WOW moment when the drinks appeared on the boat when she returned. And last, but not least – Alexis, our chef. How he managed to consistently produce exceptional meals, from his tiny galley, and small-island provisioning service, was a much-appreciated mystery. Alexis’ meals were equal, or better, in quality and presentation to what I would expect in a great Ibiza/Monaco/St Tropez restaurant. There are almost too many highlights to mention, but I’ll call out his sushi night and consistently excellent luncheon fish as especially wonderful. After several days of this, we realized that we should have cancelled our onshore restaurant reservations because we preferred Alexis’ meals to what we could get on the island. Perhaps the best testament to his skill was that he actually got our son to eat green beans and fresh fish, a feat his mother and I have been struggling with for the past five years! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience – it was truly wonderful. And I’d add a special thanks to you Josh. When I wrote to you and asked what boats might be available in the next 3-4 weeks (yikes), I was fully prepared to hear nothing back, or at least nothing worth considering. Instead, you were able to rustle up a reasonable set of choices and were extremely responsive and considerate as I changed my requirements and dates right up until the last minute. I appreciated your rapid and clear communication and the aftercare, as we received the refund of the unspent APA. Thank-you and a huge thank-you to Captain Bertrand and the crew. You guys helped us make some wonderful memories. SB PLAY THE GAME / Palma-Palma / 18-25 July 2021

Everything was absolutely perfect - nice boat - great crew - very dedicated captain and outstanding cook. The land support was also excellent. DEA DEL MARE / Bodrum, Turkey / August 2021

Dear Colin, All fine. Thanks for your efforts. P.F. CARE ONE / Antibes, France / 8-15 August 2021

The charter went really perfectly! We enjoyed the itinerary very much, had a great time on board (and in the water). Toby is a superb captain and there was also a nice team spirit between the crew. Thomas made great meals for us and he even surprised us several times with things we really like but aren't very common. We had such a great time thank you! JB LIR / Naples, Italy / July 24-31, 2021

Hi Colin, the time we spent on board of Red Carpet has been great. The crew has been excellent still funny and cautious as well as excellent with our kids. I can only release positive feedback, no negative. Boat is comfortable, in particular the main deck with enough space and amenities both for wind and no wind. The only negative point has been weather, we did face strong wind at the beginning and calm in the second part of our cruise, so not that much sailing but a lot of engine. This is not in the hand of crew or captain so we finally did enjoy the time spent onboard. A.G. RED CARPET / Portisco / 14 August 2021

Hi Josh, We had a great time on the Star Link. The yacht was beautiful and really practical especially the dining table and the sundeck on top deck with covering was used often. It is so nice to have dinner on the top deck because of the view! Crew was great and very helpful. Tolis the chef made the most excellent food with every day a Greek touch, really great! We are really satisfied with Charterworld and you for all the searching and helping with the itinerary. Choosing the Saronic sea was beautiful, nice calm bays and the picturesque towns of Hydra and Spetses stoke our hearts. Also Navplion and Poros were great. Thanks to you and the crew. P&MvH STAR LINK / Athens-Athens, Greece / 7-14 August 2021

Thank you very much to the whole crew!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming, smiling with a great level of service and attention. The dives were incredible, and we will back home with incredible memories thanks to you. We will miss you and hope to be back. J.O SAFIRA / Maldives / August 8-17, 2021

Dear crew, thank you for making this stay so wonderful and memorable. I was delighted to have had shared my passion for F1 and football with you. Even if I did not catch a lot of fish I learnt a lot. I will miss our fishing nights. Thank you so much. T.O SAFIRA / Maldives / August 8-17, 2021

Bravo! TOP! Many thanks for your dedicated and committed work all the week. And a special thanks to captain for helping me to dare to swim with the sharks! All the best to you!! F.H SAFIRA / Maldives / August 8-17, 2021

Thanks for all! Incredible journey. Special thanks to the dive master who showed me the whalesharks. SAFIRA / Maldives / August 8-17, 2021

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. HUNKY DORY OF LONDON / Split – Dubrovnik, Croatia / 9-16 August 2021

Colin, the boat is super as well as the crew. GM TO ESCAPE / Antibes / Aug 7-14, 2021

Hi Colin, we just got off the boat. It was a super trip. Everything was super, the crew, the boat, the team, the weather. Thanks for your consultation. WS. CALMA / Palma de Mallorca / August 7-14, 2021

Hello Colin, we had a wonderful week. Matt and Krystyna were a wonderful crew. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Ocean View and their crew is definitely an experience you can recommend to others. We did plenty of sailing, Matt made an interesting route for us with enough variety, and the service and quality of food was excellent. KH OCEAN VIEW / Split-Split, Croatia / 2-9 August 2021
