There are two words to describe this holiday, relaxing and interesting. I have never been on a yacht or to Croatia but this ticks so many boxes. The yacht is compact but provides plenty of room for relaxing. The food needs a special mention. The cook was a lady whose name I still can't pronounce but gave any 5 star chef a run for their money. The crew were helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Special thanks also to Mattie our tour guide who kept smiling even when being teased.  He answered all the questions particularly about Croatia's recent history and made a point of being available when necessary.   

Most of the excursions were interesting. The stand out one was the visit to the winery with the tapas lunch. Apart from the visit to the tailors all the others(the sea organ was impressive) were just long enough and left you with  free time to do your own thing. The wine tasting on board was unnecessary and went on too long but if you want sea ,sunshine and good food this holiday is hard to beat.

I did this last year and loved it. In fact I'd do it again. As you say it's a very relaxing holiday. Glad you enjoyed it.

Enjoy! Just back from a very good trip - Flavours of Tuscany. Very hectic in comparison to the cruise. Home for a rest!

Best wishes,

Rae

I also did this tour in Mid May and I agree with every word Maggie.  Matt was probably the most enthusiastic tour operator I have met in 10 years of JY holidays. Amazing holiday, amazing country can't wait to explore Croatia more.  😉  Rose
