Such an incredible week and adventure this has been! Thank you for sharing Croatia with us. The experience you provided was above all others. It beyond exceeded our expectations. Ivan- thank you for planning all of the island stops, making sure the kids had a great time, for being the best Captain! Sandra you have spoiled us! You noticed every detail, took care of all of our needs and your cooking will be missed for sure. We can't wait to come back and visit again!

Ivan and Sandra- thank you for all of your hospitality. This trip was one our family was excited about and looking forward to, but didn't know what to really expect. You both, and Croatia, did not disappoint! We loved exploring the islands and saw something new each day. We appreciate that you were flexible and helpful with helping us navigate our vacation. We loved the time in the water and relaxing on the boat. Thank you for the amazing meals and snacks. It made the trip that much better.
We all enjoyed getting to know you both! Getting to know you and hearing about your family was a gift. Thank you again for your hospitality and we wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe summer.

We have just returned from Croatia and I wanted to let you know that our week with Sandra and Ivan aboard 'Aura' was simply fantastic. They are an amazing crew and made everything about Aura as perfect as it could be. The itinerary between Split and Dubrovnik worked well and each night they offered really good suggestions for restaurants and made the reservations even. It made for a very relaxing holiday. Sandra's cooking is amazing - breakfasts were so good and her lunches were delicious. I sat down with Sandra at the end of the week to review her APA - very detailed which was appreciated.
Thank you again for setting up this incredible holiday for us. Airport transfer worked great. I was very glad to work with your office to set this up. Thanks again.

First of all, the hospitality afforded by Ivan and Sandra was outstanding. They were most. They responded to special request whenever it was possible and they were cheerful at all times. The atmosphere on the boat was always pleasant and we always felt “at home”.
I’d say the biggest surprise for us was the comfort level on the boat. The air conditioning certainly surpassed expectations. The meals provided and prepared by Sandra were beautiful and tasty. She even made sure that we had excellent quality wine. Each day the opening of the wine was an event. The coffee maker added another a little special touch to make you feel comfortable. We did not expect capuccinos on the boat.
Regarding the itinerary, each island visited was beautiful and unique. I can’t say that I would change a thing.
We all felt that safety was a priority. This really was of great importance to us since we were traveling with 2 young teenagers. They paid a lot of attention to make sure we were safe on the boat and that was very noticeable.
When we return to Croatia, hopefully that’s in the in the near future, Ivan and Sandra will be will be our choice for further exploration.
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to pass along our comments.
