Dear Sandra and Ivan,
No words can describe the amazing trip we had last week. We felt like royals on your fantastic, high end boat. The fantastic lunches and appetisers Sandra prepared will be always on our minds (we will start our diet again from next Monday!!!). Ivan's passion for boats and the beautiful sea is really inspiring. What a beautiful country you have, we are looking forward to discovering more in the future.

Wow! Ivan and Sandra,
Our second trip with you was amazing. I have told you all before, but we mean it every time, you two are SO special.

We feel like we have found a secret gem in a sea of skippers and hostesses. No one can make a trip as special as you two. Ivan knows the perfect places to see, and showing us the special places of the country, that not a lot of people see. And Sandra,,, making a boat feel like a home is np easy task but you do it with ease. We love you two so much. You have such a special gift in making people feel at home on the seas and in your country.

Hopefully one day we can return the favour is the US. if anyone else read this, and if you don't book another trip with them next year, you are crazy. Do it now before they book up...

Sandra and Ivan- We cannot thank you enough for your flawless guide around the amazing and spectacular country of Croatia aboard your beautiful boat. You dialled up the perfect weather, never failed to find a picturesque gleaming jewel of a harbour to dock in and enabled us to see a slice of country from a magical perspective that would not have been possible without your expert guidance. You also kept us well fed (Sandra's cooking could easily be featured at any of the restaurants we ate in!) and somehow anticipated our every need.

From our perspective you are living life like the way it was meant to be - doing what you love and at the highest level and because of that, the Sibermans got to experience a trip of a lifetime. And for that we once again say thank you!

Ivan and Sandra,

You both exceeded all expectations and enabled us to have a most wonderful 10 year anniversary while discovering all of the beauty and serenity that exists in Croatia!

When we were coming with ideas for our vacation, we agreed that the one thing we wanted to be able to do more than anything on our first real vacation without kids was to RELAX and have minimal responsibilities. The two of you are perfect hosts in every way and blew us away with your teamwork, skills, knowledge of the area, and ability to make us feel right at hime- you succeeded in every way and allowed us to truly relax, reconnect with each other and spend time with our life long friends.

When the weather was less than ideated members of our group had different departure timelines, you both provided expert recommendations to enable us to all get the most out of our time here on your beautiful Aura. Each of you demonstrated a true passion and mastery of your craft and an eagerness to share it with us made it feel like we were part of your extended family.

Thanks again - we sincerely hope to be able to join you again in the future.

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.
