GBA Perfect 1st Sailing Experience This was my first experience with a chartered sailing trip. We embarked from Athens, and sailed 7 nights through the Cyclades Islands before returning to Athens. I was immensely impressed with the captain and crew from the start. The captain had looked ahead at the weather and make a few suggestions to alter our route to make for the most enjoyable sailing experience. We took his suggestions and had a truly amazing trip. Greece and the Aegean Sea are so beautiful and charming, but for me the most memorable thing was the food prepared onboard by our incredible cook. The fresh seafood and other traditional Greek fare was the perfect way to round out one of my favorite adventures to date. I hope to be back again sailing with Adriatic Experience soon!

CAAdriatic magic Seamless transitions at each stage created a sense of security. Each guide was personable and knowledgeable. Nina crafted the activities to match our collective interests - no small task considering our ages, prairie origins and our 10 different personalities. Our skipper Jurko responded to our desires to swim in quiet lagoons, jump off cliffs. Ivana culinary skills created onboard meals and snacks that matched our wants. This was an experience to be cherished - our 50th anniversary with our 4 kids and their spouses.

GBHoneymoon in Croatia Nina & her team were wonderful to work with, from beginning to end! She helped us navigate our postponed honeymoon that was originally scheduled for June 2020 that we finally made happen in April 2023! Nina responded immediately to each & every question that we had, but more importantly she helped us design the most wonderful itinerary; Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Hvar & Split. Every driver and tour guide that we had was friendly, timely & professional. Our hotels were lovely and we appreciated all of the restaurant (& wine!) recommendations. Some highlights were the wonderful boat tour through the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro and ending our trip with an intimate chef's table dinner in Split! Croatia is such a special place, and Nina & her crew made it so easy to just relax & enjoy!

GBSailboat in Croatia lets you explore region! Adriatic Experience trip, coordinated by Nina, gave our family a magical week exploring the coast of Croatia. Sailboat Captain allowed us to relax and explore with his personal hints about where and what would make the best experience. Calm winds meant little sailing, but motoring got us between island efficiently. Each place had many options of adventures. Biking, wine tasting and seafood dinners were all enjoyed. We arranged tour guides at 3 stops to give us history of this region. Family agreed that 1 week was not enough to explore this region!

DEHighlight in our round the world adventure! Five Stars!! Our family has been traveling around the world for over 7 months, and our time sailing with Adriatic experience was undoubtedly one of the best experiences we have had anywhere! Nina was meticulous in the pre-trip planning. Her customer service is truly unparalleled. Because we were traveling during the shoulder season we didn't have to be quite as prepared as guests in mid-summer. However, I would trust her to make sure we had a smooth, perfectly planned itinerary even during the busiest weeks of the summer. Our crew, Jerko and Ivona were also incredible. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I already miss Ivona's cooking. (She even catered to our extremely picky 9 year old daughter.) We will return! It was too good not too.
