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!

So much fun!

8 Hour – Tour Around Ugljan Island on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults

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!!

Response from Captain

June 15, 2026

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
