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!

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.

An unforgettable week aboard Lady J: Our group spent seven incredible nights aboard Lady J, and the experience exceeded every expectation. The yacht is beautifully maintained, with stunning interiors, gorgeous woodwork, and spacious, comfortable staterooms. What truly set this trip apart was the crew. Captain Jarryd, Jeff, Matt, Ana, Katie, and Dominique, and Tyler, Karl, and Damien were outstanding. Their teamwork, professionalism, and genuine warmth created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere throughout the week. The food was spectacular, with delicious and varied meals every day. The themed table settings added a special touch to each dinner, and the service was impeccable. The crew was always attentive without ever hovering, somehow appearing exactly when you needed something. There was never a dull moment, with fishing, snorkelling, beach days, and beach barbecues thoughtfully planned throughout the week. Captain Jarryd was especially engaging, always ensuring guests were having fun, well cared for, and making the most of every day. As first-time yacht charter guests, we were completely blown away. The entire crew made us feel comfortable, cared for, and thoroughly spoiled. I cannot recommend Lady J highly enough and would absolutely charter with this crew again.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD ON THE NAVILUX YACHT: Croatia Destination, Beautiful Pristine scenery. The local people, warm, kind and very proud of their history and Country. Food was fresh every day, delicious. The Navilux Yacht - it doesn't get any better. "Above and Beyond" my expectations. Crew: Captain Luka, this is where it starts: The Captain takes care of the crew, and the crew takes care of their guests. Captain Luka was "hands on" with his skill navigating the Yacht. He was in charge you could see and feel he knew his responsibilities. His daily updates were respected, and his sense of humor was enjoyable. Each day, he added a surprise to our morning chats. What we requested he made it happen. The way he handled the crew with respect and their response was the same. We felt like, they were our family. Chef: Dominik was so excited to share his knowledge and the new dish he decided to treat us to each day. Never were we disappointed. His smile was contagious and the food was delicious. Mila, delightful, energetic, always smiling. We discovered that she used to be a Tour Guide and she shared her knowledge about the islands we were visiting. Mila added her personal touch to her job. Jaksa. Delightful to wake up and see his presence. Never a table setting out of place. Food kept coming and he found the perfect place on the table. A wonderful person to chat with. His knowledge and personal experience made us feel special. Frencis, worked behind the scenes. Our cabins were spotless when we returned. Always smiling and unconditionally wanted to help in any way she could. Ivan, Luca & Jure, deckhands. Everyday they set up our toys (jet skis, floating marina, paddle boards, kayaks, Lifejackets) ready for the guests. Smiling going about their schedule When we wanted to go ashore, they were hands on with the Tender Boat. The crew and guests were one big happy family for the eight days we were on the NAVILUX YACHT. Reia Stannard, handling our yacht reservations, private car transfers, hotels and suggestions for dining pre & post cruise. Her experience in this niche business exceeded her responsibilities. Reia's daily communications with us set the tone of making sure we would have an enjoyable experience. Thank you. It wasn't a job for the Captain & Crew it was their "Passion" love of the water and their work. We were made to feel part of their daily lives for a short time, we were family. .... this is the memory. Would I cruise on NAVILUX again - In a heartbeat! C

To the Captain and Crew of Annabelle II, Wow! What can we say? This week has been beyond spectacular! This trip has been beyond 6 stars—truly unforgettable. Each day was so smooth, and when we changed course to see Montenegro too, Captain Jerry was so accommodating and showed us the best of both Croatia and Montenegro! Chef Eugene — no words. Every single meal was beyond delicious, and the presentation was out of this world. The tables looked so beautiful every meal, and the dining experience was top notch! We want him in our kitchen every day! Vanya and Melia were absolutely gracious, beyond kind, and the perfect hostesses. They catered to our every need, and every single time did it with a smile. They truly were absolutely incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel like royalty. Alex is such a happy, warm, helpful, and energetic person. He was so much fun and did everything my kids and family asked for! Captain Jerry — the biggest thanks for keeping us safe and showing us this beautiful country — two in fact! Cannot say enough about this week. Muchas gracias and a very grateful thank you!
