Sporades Yacht Charter

An Amazing Experience: My company is VIP Yacht Charter Group where I offer Glatt Kosher Yacht charters. I transitioned from day to term charters and was looking for a company and broker that I could trust. I reached out to Trina and explained to here that I have a client that was looking to do a week Glatt Kosher charter in the South of France. I knew from our initial call that she was the right person to work with. Trina is extremely knowledgeable in the charter world. The Yacht she recommended was Zeemar a 100ft, 5 stateroom beauty, and there couldn't have been a better yacht and crew for this client. Trina went above and beyond to make sure that everything went perfectly from communicating with the client to Captain and even provisioner. She was always available to talk no matter what time it was. I am so grateful to Trina that this charter went way beyond the clients' expectations.

Working with our charter broker, Trina Howes, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness were exceptional. She made the entire charter planning process effortless and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and matched us with the perfect yacht and crew. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible crew who made our yacht charter such an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard until the very last goodbye, they made us feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and completely at home. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect- from exceptional meals and impeccable service to thoughtful surprises and personalized touches that made our trip feel truly special. Our overall experience was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to hopefully working together again on future adventures!

Sally, we had the BEST time on the charter, we loved Captain Niksa and his crew. What we loved about the boat was the layout and its expansiveness, and how thoughtfully every detail was considered for guests. It was the most quiet and solid boat we've ever been on, there was very little rocking even on windy or stormy days. The layout of the boat was very accommodating for a party of our size -- many boats don't have a lot of uncovered deck space, to hang out; we really loved the top level where there was room to lay out, everyone enjoyed the hot tub and we also love the front area where we watched movies at night, or had a quiet space to be away from a crowd if you wanted to be. And of course, enjoyed the dining area where we had our meals and played lots of games. Also, it was the first boat we've chartered/been on where we actually made use of the interior salon -- it actually felt like a natural extension of the exterior. We all felt like we had lots of room for our things as well as for ourselves-- we never felt crowded. We also loved the toys - we made good use of the seabobs and paddle boards every day, and we got in some wakeboarding and waterskiing. The crew was very professional and always attuned to our needs. We also felt in very good hands from a navigation and safety perspective in all circumstances. Captain Niksa's knowledge of all cruising areas (from the best places to anchor, to spend the night and have the best views, to where to go for lunch, to which areas to avoid (like for jellyfish for example) added to the overall joy of the trip! Niksa was also on top of the weather - he was prepared in advance for every contingency. His workmanship and care for his boat and crew were evident in all his actions. The crew were very pleasant, responsive, and attentive without being intrusive. Our cabins were spotless, laundry was perfectly done without incident. We all loved the laundry detergent it smelled so good! Thumbs up to areas cruised. We had a mix of smaller and bigger islands, with visits to quaint little towns. Again, Captain Niksa's knowledge of these areas, and where to go, where to eat off the boat etc.-- all great. Breakfasts were a nice mix of yogurts, croissants/breads, prosciutto, fruit platters, jams and local honeys, local specialties, your choice of eggs as you liked, and generally pancakes or waffles. Breakfasts were a universal thumbs up. Lunches: always a mix of grilled fish and some kind of meat, along with green salad and another salad of couscous or quinoa and vegetables and a dessert. We loved the chef's salad dressings, and his desserts were a huge hit. The fish was always fresh and simply prepared (which we liked). One day we had tuna poke bowls (or chicken if you didn't like fish), and that was a huge hit with everyone. Dinners: again, we liked to eat simply prepared fishes/meats, with vegetables /salads. Most meals we ate family style as we liked and finished off with delicious desserts. We loved every minute on Acapella, and have already recommended the boat to our friends. What made the trip so special was not only the boat itself -- great boat for a group of mixed ages-- something for everyone -- but the crew, and the charming and endearing Captain Niksa.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the very best family vacation we have ever had! The boat is perfect, built by hand with love and passion. The food is second to none. The service was incredible and always with a warm smile. And the scenery in Croatia was poetic. We will never have a better vacation, and we owe it all to you!! I am sure we will be back.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week here in Croatia! You made our experience very memorable. How Acapella came to be is an amazing and inspiring story. The entire crew was amazing and very gracious. We enjoyed all the special and delicious meals. Thanks again, we will be back!

Thank you so much for the most amazing 10 days. This trip was more than any of us could have imagined. We all felt at home the moment we stepped on board. The memories are unforgettable. You all have been absolute angels. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable. I truly hope to be back again!
