Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Charters

Trina: We returned Monday afternoon. The two weeks on board Navilux were simply superb. All as a result of the outstanding service, warmth, and kindness of the crew. Captain Luka found us marvellous secluded anchorages where we swam and enjoyed many meals before moving on to the next spot. Being the Split-Pula-Split itinerary, many of the passages were much longer than any compared to the Split-Dubrovnik-Split rotation. 100 miles one way vs 200 to Pula. Still, the towns we visited were pleasant (although we did not care for Zadar... too large, touristy, etc with no unique charm). Navilux, despite her age, is in very good nick. The Chef, Dominic, is excellent. He caters to all requests: we had a gluten-intolerant person aboard one week, grandkids who liked things simple for dinner, lunch... we had fresh lobster, scorpion fish, monkfish, shrimp both in salad and in pasta, duck breast, pasta w/truffles, risotto and for the 4th of July the crew surprised us with decoration of red/white/blue and flags on the outdoor dining area with burgers, ribs, beans and an American flag cake for dessert. The crew always has a ready smile and friendly greeting no matter what the situation. Service across all areas- rooms, bar service, meals, daily briefing on where to go and timing is without peer. Small laundry items are done once per week at the same time sheets are changed mid-week. Captain Luka has a drone which he uses to take pics during the voyage, which makes for great memories. If we do this again on Navilux, we will most likely limit ourselves to a Split-Split just touring the islands and small bays of that area, which Capt. Luka says we would enjoy. I and all of my family and friends believe Navilux is the perfect size and design ... no need to change. The weather these weeks was quite hot, as you no doubt knew, but aircon worked fine in cabins and on the occasions we had to dine indoors due to wasps swarming from the shore, making outside dining impossible. The new "toys" of sea bobs, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards, snorkelling gear all got great use during the trip. In fact, the grandkids spent most of their time engaged with them as well as some fishing... only marginal success, but one grandson caught a fish after dinner on our last evening, so was quite chuffed to end the trip on that note. All of our friends and family gave their week 5 stars... I cannot imagine how this could be improved upon...

They absolutely loved the boat and described it as phenomenal. The meeting with the captain at a café the day before departure was excellent and helped establish a great rapport. They loved the flexibility of having the captain tailor each day around their preferences. The boat would typically move in the morning, although some evenings they would travel as well. The food onboard was exceptional. They did not want to miss a single meal and were consistently impressed with the quality. The crew's service was a major highlight. They loved that the crew knew one another well and were all Croatian, which created a very warm and cohesive atmosphere. The crew offered two massages each day, allowing everyone to take turns enjoying them. The captain would regularly go into town to purchase fresh produce and local fish, which added a wonderful local element to the experience. One day, the captain went out diving for octopus and later enjoyed it as part of their onboard meal. Overall Takeaway: The clients were exceptionally positive about the trip, with the yacht experience, crew, flexibility, food, and personalised service standing out above everything else. They repeatedly emphasised how much they loved being onboard and how little they wanted to leave the boat.

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.

Simply top-notch personalized service: From the very beginning of the process matching a boat and location with our party size and desires Trina Howes of Charterworld was outstanding. She had personal experience & was familiar with various yachts enabling our choices both in Turkey and Croatia. I have used her and CharterWorld for 4 separate charters all of which were 5 stars... The process is easy, seamless and each step of the process is easily understood. Trina is available by email and phone during the entire process of investigation, choice and final selection as well as payments and preferences. Highly recommended.

Thank you to all of the amazing crew and our captain because it was you all who made this trip so special. I'm so thankful to have had this experience, and I hope I will be able to do it again! (…) What an incredible week! The islands, the boat and the food were outstanding, but the crew is what truly made our trip so special! Thank you for spoiling us. Can't wait for the next visit. Cheers. (…) Thank you for a wonderful trip that we all will remember for a long time. OMNIA is a beautiful yacht, but the key to our adventure was the crew! You all did an amazing job that made this the best trip ever! (…) We have been planning a trip to Greece for many years, and now have actually made it! What an amazing way to see a new country! The crew was outstanding - thank you all!

What can we say? Unbelievably amazing experience. You are all such wonderful people whom we can now consider friends we hope to have long into the future. Thank you for sharing your hospitality and incredible country with us; we could not have asked for a better experience. We look forward to seeing you all in the very near future – in Croatia or Florida. All the very best and with much affection
