I can’t say enough about how exceptional our experience was on Zara. From the warm welcome (including birthday balloons!), to all the wonderful meals, beautiful coves, great excursions, exceptional restaurant recommendations and great communication the whole way through. Zara is a very beautiful, comfortable and well equipped luxury boat, but it’s Vedran and Vera who made the experience so exceptional. Everything about our week exceeded all of our expectations and we are extremely grateful.
My expectations for our Croatian holiday were very high and I’m happy to report that every one of those expectations were exceeded in a big way! The Zara is a beautiful boat providing every luxury and comfort that I could ask for. It is truly a gorgeous catamaran that looks and feels brand new. The boat is wonderful but it was our captain, Vedran, and hostess, Vera, that really made our vacation special. It’s clear to me that their number one priority was to provide us with a relaxing and memorable holiday. Their experience and knowledge was at our disposal. We put our trust in them and they did not disappoint. Need a dinner reservation in a seaside village? Done. Want to ride electric bicycles through the countryside to a local winery? No problem. Looking for a local guide to explore the beautiful island of Vis? When do you want to go? Their real superpower is that they are always available but never intrusive. They anticipated our wishes, they covered all our logistics and they made it so easy to enjoy our vacation. Thank you Vedran and Vera!
This was our first time to Croatia and our week on Zara with Vedran and Vera made it the most special family trip. Having little knowledge about the country and where we should go, we allowed Vedran to guide all of our choices- from where to eat to which islands to visit and when. Chat GPT has nothing on Vedran’s years of experience and elite expertise. He truly knows everyone and everything and we are so happy we trusted him to create the perfect itinerary. Vera is a master chef. We are still talking about her meals! By the second day, she really understood our group and what we liked. She has such talent and we were blessed to experience her cooking. Both Vedran and Vera are the best in the business. Zara is a gorgeous catamaran and it felt spacious and luxurious. We kept saying it was the prettiest boat in any marina or bay we found ourselves. The boat has ample space for relaxing and the bedrooms are very comfortable. We all slept so well on the beds. None of us wanted to leave Zara, Vedran, and Vera. We are already planning a return trip!
We had the absolute best time on Zara and with Vedran and Vera. Your team was also instrumental in making our trip so memorable. We are headed to Italy for a week, so the vacationing continues! But, it will be hard to top our time in Croatia! Thanks again!
We had the most amazing and memorable vacation aboard Zara. We cannot speak highly enough of Vedran, Vera, and the beautiful boat. We could write a book about everything that made this trip so special, but to summarize: the boat was top notch, spotless, with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Our family of six was incredibly comfortable.
Vedran is a remarkable captain, and his knowledge of the Croatian islands is outstanding. Our route from Split to Dubrovnik could not have been better. The activities he planned for our active family (kids are ages 21, 20, and 18) were so much fun! Adventure wasn't something we expected from a sailing trip, and since we love adventure, this was an incredible bonus. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime.
Vera's food exceeded anything we could have expected — even at a 5-star hotel. It was amazing what she pulled off each day for us.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to have spent a week with Vedran and Vera. They will forever be part of our family's cherished memories, ones we'll be talking about for years to come.
