ExcellentBased on 240 reviewsVerifiedGrahamofBosam2024-09-16Great Charter Company Ivana and Pasko (owners) were friendly, professional and very helpful. We had a fantastic time on Summer Breeze (Bavaria 46 keelboat) which was released to us in spotless condition and provisioned with all basic necessities. We had a great week cruising the islands and received helpful updates on any inclement weather. Both Ivana and Pasko were always available for any advice on operating the vessel although we did not need this, thanks to Pasko's thorough 'handing-over' briefing. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday.VerifiedHugo S2024-09-14Excellent in every way The boat was in pristine condition and the attention from the team was the best, always available to help with lots of good tips to make your experience the best possible.VerifiedPatty R2024-09-07Amazing trip thanks to Ivana and FairWinds! Ivana and FairWinds deserve more than 5 stars! We have traveled extensively and each trip is meticulously planned by me. In all of our trips I have never encountered a business in our travels that is such a pleasure to work with. Ivana at FairWinds was patient in explaining my (many) questions, always professional (yet congenial), extremely thorough in her follow-up (even taking personal time to provide her insights on what I should consider for other places to visit during our Croatia trip) and very solution-oriented when there were unforeseen obstacles (our intended boat was damaged the week prior, but Ivana accessed a good alternative for us).As well, as our Charter Manager, Ivana matched us with an exceptional crew; Gloria Lindeman as our hostess and Goran as our skipper. The delicious and beautiful meals that Gloria prepared were restaurant-quality and Goran made sure that we secured excellent mooring sites so that we could easily come and go to take walks in the picturesque ports. But in addition to being so proficient at their jobs, both Gloria and Goran were kind, fun and easy to spend time with. They were the perfect “ambassadors” to help us appreciate the real Croatia and all of her hidden gems and delectable foods.If you are even considering a charter in Croatia, save yourself from doing any more research and book via FairWinds. You will have an adventure of a lifetime!VerifiedPhil D2024-08-30Another superb Fairwind charter We have just completed our second charter with Fairwind, this time for two weeks. There will be a third. Ivana and Pasko provide such a great personal service, you just don’t get with larger charter companies. Fairwind boats are very well maintained, such that every experiences around the islands is superb.VerifiedR B2024-08-23a great time had by all. We had a great time, the company were thorough and helpful, our skipper was great especially with the kids and she knew some great places to stay over night and places to visit.VerifiedNikki F2024-08-14Exceptional experience & service. My husband and I recently celebrated our honeymoon on the 40ft Second wind catamaran with Fair Wind Yacht Charters, exploring the stunning Croatian Dalmatian Islands, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience.From the start, Fair Wind Yacht Charters exceeded our expectations. The booking process was straightforward and professional. Ivana was incredibly responsive, providing detailed answers to our questions and provided detailed itinerary options to suit our honeymoon needs. Their customer service truly set a positive tone for our trip.Ivana helped to arranged a skipper for our first 3 days on the boat. Mise was exceptional. Mise demonstrated exceptional knowledge and skill with a deep understanding of sailing and navigation, he was always willing to share valuable insights and tips throughout our entire charter. Mise gave us all the knowledge we needed to sail on our own & gave us the confidence to moor up with all the local mooring techniques that we weren't used to. We cant wait to start planning our next charter with Fair Wind & thank them so much for making the entire experience a memorable one. Thank you to the entire Fair Wind team.VerifiedKelli C2024-07-29Best trip EVER This trip was one of our "bucket list" items. We knew we wanted to see Croatia by way of sea. The team at Fair Wind was amazing from our first conversation to our last Whatsup app text. The planning was organized, no hidden costs and the crew was phenomenal. We splurged for a hostess and we were so glad we did! She was a wonderful person, trained cook/chef and a great asset for recommendations and planning. We highly recommend this trip and Fair Wind Yacht Charter!!VerifiedCristian P2024-07-25Awesome Experience, Great boat, lots of fun!

Fair Wind truly lets you fully focus on relaxing and enjoying a carefree sailing holiday in beautiful Croatia! Ivana and Paško care for their fleet and run their family company with a love that shows from the moment they greet you in the marina. Everything from booking to check out is taken care of precisely and according to agreement. The boats are immaculately cared for (technically and cleaning-wise) and extremely well-equipped.

Our week in Croatia was fantastic, we had a few fabulous wind days for sailing and a couple of calm days for motoring. The water is so clear and refreshing! Six friends on a 46 ft boat made out pretty well space wise. The boat was very well appointed with the necessities and a few creature comforts as well! 😀
