Our trip with Ivan was such a great time! He made sure to ask for our preferences so he could curate a good experience and it did not disappoint. We were stopped at 4 different niche locations to take in the sights, go for a swim, have a stroll, and included a lunch and gelato stop. Exactly what we needed to close out our trip! Absolutely would recommend the full day tour to get the best experience!!

Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you on board and showing you some of our favorite hidden spots around Zadar. I’m delighted to hear that the itinerary, swimming stops, lunch, and gelato break helped make your day special and a perfect way to finish your trip. The only thing we’re sorry about is that there wasn’t a bit more wind that day, so we could have enjoyed even better sailing conditions and spent more time under sail. Wish you all the best and hope to welcome you aboard again in the future. Kind regards, Ivan Tartaruga Sailing Tours ⛵️🌊

We had a great time on Ivan’s boat. The trip was very relaxed and the scenery was stunning. Ivan was a brilliant host, thoughtful and accommodating to our needs. I would not hesitate to book again with Ivan. Thank you for looking after my family and I, and giving us such a great experience that we won’t forget!

Everything was perfect. The communication was great prior to the trip. The boat was so clean and everything was great about our trip. Ivan was polite and helpful and adjusted our trip to accommodate the younger members of our booking. I would HIGHLY recommend this trip - honestly was the highlight of our whole holiday
we were travaillong with 5 kids and 3 adults. everyone had a blast and was sad that the time passed so quickly. we absolutely recommend. the captain was knowledgeable, patient and very nice with our whole group. we were able to paddleboard and snorkel in 3 different locations over the course of our 4 hours trip!
It was easy to find. It was a straightforward, enjoyable and relaxing experience. The skipper was very competent, extremely friendly, and we had a great time.
