This was our 2nd nine-day cruise around the BVI with Sunsail/The Moorings. Each time we’ve hired a Captain. Our 1st time the Captain was just “Ok”, this trip our Captain, “Rico” was awesome. Rico is engaging, knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to have on the boat. If you need to hire a Captain, we highly recommend you request Hendrico Vivier [Rico] you won’t be sorry 😊

Fabulous week. The boat was presented excellently, in great condition and spotlessly clean. The handover was very efficient and the technial briefing conducted efficiently with plenty of opportunity to ask questions or seek clarification. Most impressive was the lead crew on the flotilla. They were always smiling and could not have been more helpful. The morning briefings were comprehensive and highlighted any possible challenges we might encounter. We did not have any major equipment issues during our sailing trip, but technician Ella was always ready to help wth anything that arose. The flotilla participants gelled quickly and a good social atmosphere developed during evenings together. All the overnight moorings were handled well and the lead vrew were onhand to give assistance if requested.

I took the Day Skipper course with Amy as our instructor. I cannot recommend the course and Amy highly enough. The course is very well organised, providing us with lots of practical experience in all sorts of weather in the best sailing spot in Europe. Most of all it was Amy who made the difference. She is not only very experienced, but also a highly talented teacher and leader. A+ experience overall.

I took part in a day skipper course last week having previously completed the competent crew course in June at the same place. I travelled solo and was joined on the course by one couple and another solo traveller along with our instructor, Michael. There were two of us doing the DS course and two doing the CC course. I arrived at Marina Agana on Saturday pm and after meeting my instructor and the other solo traveller we boarded our 47 ft yacht, Anegada which had 4 cabins and 4 heads (bathrooms). The course started on Sunday am with a detailed health and safety and yacht briefing. We then sailed for 4 nights/5 days travelling to Drvenik Veli, Solta, Brac, Hvar and Split before returning to Marina. This included 4 hours night sailing as part of the course. The weather was variable but we had good wind most of the time and some testing conditions. The yacht was quite old c.10 years and was being retired (sold) from the fleet at the end of the season but it was a good yacht to learn on. Unfortunately the windlass for the anchor broke on our trip and had to be replaced by Sunsail’s maintenance team. This caused some delays to our schedule as we waited for them to come out to us and source the replacement etc. Michael kindly agreed to extend the course into Friday ( until c. 1:30pm) which was planned to be a ‘free’ day and his day off, to complete the syllabus.
The boat was well provisioned by Sunsail and Michael for the whole week for breakfasts, lunches and the night sail dinner. On other evenings we went ashore to eat in the local restaurants.
The DS course was full on with passage planning required on one or two evenings as well as the night sail until 1:30am. Despite the physical and mental challenge it was a great experience. I successfully completed 13 out of 14 modules and will return early next summer to complete my DS course and obtain some more practical yacht sailing experience as even if I had passed in full, I still feel I need more experience under the guidance of an instructor before chartering a yacht on my own. I can’t recommend Sunsail and my instructor Michael highly enough. They are excellent in everything they do. Michael is very sociable, is passionate about sailing and a great instructor. Patient, assertive when necessary -
Hvar flotilla 21-28.09.24
First time sailing with Sunsail and it definitely won’t be the last.
All the shore staff and especially our lead boat crew were fantastic.
Our yacht was spotless and we only had one minor issue with our traveller which we repaired while sailing.
All the overnight stops were excellent and information from our hosty Imogen was very useful for finding great places to eat.
Our lead crew skipper Michael was brilliant, with 9 boats in the flotilla he was always calm and professional.
The engineer Carrig was fun and although we didn’t really need him he was always entertaining to chat with.
Overall from the complimentary 1st day breakfast to the g&t party, cocktail competition and final group meal the lead crew were always fantastic.
Croatia is a beautiful place to sail and I have been with two other companies before, none compare to Sunsail. -
The flotilla in Croatia was an amazing! We’ve been catamaran sailing as family several times now, but this was a whole different experience! Each night in a new town, on the quay, surrounded by old architecture and vibrant villages, with a selection of restaurants just a stones throw away. Then days of free sailing with mountains in the distance and hillsides dotted with stone homes and towns- picture book views. We met so many fun and interesting people in the flotilla. Michael the skipper had an amazing way of always being positive and encouraging- no matter what. Carrig the tech guy was calm and confident, and Imo was totally in control despite her spirited demeanor. Highly recommend.

This was my first experience of a flotilla and it was amazing! Despite challenging weather conditions, including a day locked in at the marina. The Sunsail team were always professional, knowledgable and fun! Elle was always there to make sure we had what was needed and make reservations, Luka the technical lead was always on hand and, oh my word, how good a captain was Tadek, a young man with a great future ahead of him. Thanks everyone you made my first experience a memorable one.

To be fair I have been on many flotillas with the same group of guys, this year we had two boats and knew what to expect. that was not the case the team from the off was better than any I have sailed under before. They were very professional with a good level of banter thrown in. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I would very highly recommend Sunsail and the collective three Michael, Imogen, Carraig
-
My friend had always wanted to sail around the Croatian islands but she and her husband didn’t have much experience. It was a very easy decision to spend two weeks exploring Croatia with them! What a great way to travel – peaceful, stress-free and very relaxing. Our lead crew (Imogen and Carraig, with Amy on the first week ans Michael on the second) could not do enough to help.
-
We were part of an 8 boat flotilla skippered by Michael, hosted by Imogen and supported by Carrick. What a great time. The boats were all first class. The itinerary, information and support was phenomenal. Every stop, every day and night was smooth. We knew where we were going, what to expect and what we could do. Everyone abaord out 4 berth Catamaran commented on the great experirence we had. No anxiety at all. The suggestions on where to stop off, where to eat and what to see made this trip memorable.

Had a fantastic week with Sunsail in Croatia. Weather could have been better not the best for sailing but still had a great time. The sunsail team, Elle, Luca & Tarek were great, very knowledgeable about the places, moorings & very helpful. Would definitely recommend using Sunsail.
-
The Dalmatian island are fabulous. The sailing around the islands is absolutely the best way to see them.
Sunsail Agana does not provide the absolutely fantastic experience that we encountered at Sunsail Dubrovnik. I would strongly recommend that anyone thinking of using Sunsail to charter a yacht, to use Dubrovnik…they were incredible. -
Went on a Sunsail flotilla with and it was such a fun experience. The lead crew Livs Jake and Ella , was first class. Will do it again , for sure 🥂⛵️🏆😎

My girlfriends and I chartered a boat in the BVI for five days with Rico as our skipper. We had never been to the BVI before or stayed on a boat. The boat was beautiful, very clean, and ran smoothly. The back drop of the BVI was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of the most memorable trips we have ever had.
Thanks to Rico, our skipper, we were well taken care of the entire time. He made sure we were comfortable and safe. He was extremely knowledgeable of the boat and the islands, he ensured everything was running smoothly. All we did was sit back and relax. He was very kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable, even helping with making one of us who does not know how swim comfortable in the water. We spotted some dolphins and sea turtles and went for night swims! He knew which sites to take us to based on what we wanted to experience. Because we went during the off-season, many restaurants were closed, and he researched ahead of time where we could dine and made reservations for us each night. He blended in seamlessly with our group and we would 100% recommend him! The trip would not have been the same with someone else! Thank you, Rico, for making this an unforgettable experience.

We joined a flotilla with boat crew leaders Imogen, Amy and Carigh. All in all they were fantastic, patiently helping us in and out of port as well as providing useful daily guidance on activities, hazards and food tips. There were nice after sail activities on a couple days that helped make social connections between the boats. We were fortunate to have a new boat which handled the wind and waves well and was very well appointed. Finally, when I stupidly left my wallet on the airport bus on the final day Imo jumped in and facilitated it’s return.

Did the Krka flotilla with friends, some experienced, and some novice sailors. We had a mix of high and low winds, a little rain, and mostly dry, sunny conditions. The places we visited were all really wonderful. I loved going in to Skradin and the waterfalls. So many things to see and do here! Eight boats and some organized social activities made the trip a great opportunity to connect with people. The support from staff was amazing. Daily briefings and on call availability made everyone feel comfortable and kept us having fun. Now I want to try the southern route. Highly recommend Sunsail and Croatia.

We had another amazing flotilla holiday in Croatia with sunsail.
They always employ a very professional crew that do all the hard work for you, my only decision is where to anchor for lunch .
A big thanks to El , Tadek & Luka .

The most incredible holiday. I had the most amazing week sailing. Massive thanks to our lead crew El and Tadek who were consistently on it since day one and made the it so easy. Can’t wait to come back!!

The lead crew were amazing in every department. They took care of everything (apart from the sailing of course! ) We had poor weather but that didn’t dampen our spirits and we had an unforgettable week. Sunsail are clearly experts in presenting Floatila holidays. 🖐️

Truly wonderful week sailing on flotilla in Croatia. The crew were so professional and helpful, the Marina staff were exemplary in sorting us out so that we can’t to return to explore more of the beautiful islands and enjoy more great sailing with Sunsail.
