ExcellentBased on 230 reviewsVerifiedwanderer45812024-06-28Fabulous sail week Amazingly beautiful location and wonderful accommodations on our sailboat. 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! ?VerifiedlisawN8637DQ2024-06-25Fantastic Family Sailing Vacation What a trip! We loved our time sailing in Croatia and were so glad we went with Fair Wind Yacht Charter. This is a small personalized locally owned business that was extremely responsive when we asked questions. Ivana guided us every step of the way. They take pride in their boats and employees. Everything is very well maintained and the boat was well stocked with towels, toilet paper, cooking pots, pans, utinsels, etc. We loved our skipper Zori who became a special part of our familiy after this trip. Everyone is so helpful and friendly in this country- what a special part of the world to explore, especially in a sailboat. Fair Winds Yacht Charter made our vacation exactly what we were looking for.Verifiedrogerdailey2024-06-18Fun trip thru the Islands off Split You, your husband, Mise, and Diannah were delightful to work with and certainly met our every expectation. It was clear that you all care very much about the experience of your clients. The Ambassador Hotel was an excellent choice of place for us to stay in Split. Thank you for confirming that prior to my booking. We received several recommendations to avoid Milna as a stop and I think that was correct. The first night’s little Bay near Stari Grad was excellent. The setting for the restaurant was also fun and inviting. The “under the bell” food however was a significant dissapointment and we cannot recommend it. If this is typical, might be better to have guests either avoid this restaurant or order Ala carte. Meeting up with our friends for a sail and lunch on their 90’ private yacht was also a highlight. The crew was very helpful and accommodating with that. The little coves we visited, kayaked in, and swam in were also fun. We wanted to visit Solta and stay at Misclinica and unfortunately the swell kept some awake (including Mise!) - nothing really could be done about it as our friend wanted us to visit her mother’s home island. Dinner in Susula Bay was outstanding and memorable - highly recommend. Rest assured, we had a lovely time and very much appreciate the attention to detail shown by all your staff!VerifiedCathy A2024-06-07Couldn’t have asked for better. From the moment of first contact with Fair Wind we have had nothing but a good experience. Ivana answered all our queries promptly and with helpful information which made our decision to choose them easy. The yacht was well equipped, clean and well looked after . And then there was the skipper what can I say ? Mishe was exceptional with his professionalism, knowledge, understanding of our preferences and along with his beautiful nature we couldn’t have had a better week. HIGHLY recommend Fair Wind Yacht Charters for an all round great experience.VerifiedBrian W2024-05-28Fabulous Croatian Sailing Charter What a fabulous vacation! Jen and I were treated like royalty by Ivana and her staff. Diana was our Hostess and the food she prepared was devine! Our Skipper, Mise, knew where all the best spots were and expertly navigated Wind Dancer from island to island. Please consider Fair Wind when planning your Croatian charter - you will have a memorable experience with them!!VerifiedAntigua3452023-09-02Excellent first time sailing experience Ivana and her team were excellent starting with initial communication before booking to their information and advice/knowledge throughout and seeing us at the end of our trip. Myself and my family had a truly wonderful experience for our first time sailing. From start to finish it was faultless. Their choice of skipper was also perfect and a shout out to Filip for being a great skipper and for taking us to some amazing places that Croatia has to offer. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt relaxed at all times. We would highly recommend Fair Wind Yacht Charter and hope to return in the not too distant future! Happy sailing!VerifiedDario B2023-08-01Summer wind extravaganza A great experience from the check in to check out. Ivana & Paško were very professional in every step and the boat was handed over in pristine condition. So the only thing left was to enjoy good weather and smooth sailing on 15kt winds average which were perfect for our newbie crew. See you next summer!VerifiedWoody R2023-07-30Perfect sailing holiday thanks to Fair Wind. Fantastic week sailing off the Dalmation coast. Fair wind were a brilliant charter operator. Booking and administration was very efficient; the boat was in great nick and perfectly equipped. More to the point, Ivana and Pasko were great hosts, with a personal touch to add to their professionalism. Highest possible recommendation.VerifiedKarin M2023-07-29Best vacation ever! From the moment we stepped on board your boat in ACI Split Marina, we knew it was going to be something special, and we were not disappointed. Ivana (owner), Misē (skipper) and Sunny’s (hostess) professionalism, expertise, and warm hospitality made our trip memorable. Mise took us to the most incredible bays and islands. Sunny prepared the best breakfasts and meals. We felt safe, well-cared-for, and welcomed throughout the entire voyage. This adventure has undoubtedly been one of the greatest experiences of our lifes, and we owe it all to Fair Wind. We are looking forward to sailing with Fair Wind again in the future.VerifiedMircea R2023-07-10Great experience I chartered in july Bavaria 41 "Morning Breeze" together with my family. The communication with Fair Wind was fast and clear, the boat was clean and in perfect condition. Everything was functional. Fair Wind is by far the best charter company. Will definitely come back.
