Fournelle Jean-Paul2025-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Einfach nur zum Weiterempfehlen! Wir haben Sunset Breeze für eine Woche als Bareboat Charter gemietet. Schon die Buchung (über 6 Monate im Voraus) und die Kommunikation mit Ivana verliefen reibungslos. Die Segelyacht befand sich in einem super Zustand. Nach umfangreichen Check-In sind wir sofort los gesegelt und hatten eine super Woche. Wenn wir eine teschnische Frage hatten stand Paško uns immer zur Seite und Ivana hat uns organisatorisch auch weitergeholfen, indem Sie uns bei angekündigtem Bora eine super sichere und sehr schöne Boje reserviert hatte (dafür nochmals tausend Dank). Wenn wir noch einmal von Split aus einen Segeltörn unternehmen wollen dann definitiv mit Fair Wind. Geoffrey Wolf2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fair Wind supplied us a 46' Bavaria Crusier with a skipper/captain Brane Botic in excellent condition for our party of 5. We sailed for 7 days South of Split, stopping every night in a port, and the following day going to secluded coves along the coast. It was a dream holiday. Though many of us are competent sailors having a skipper on board that knows the area made a World of difference, he knew the ports to moor in, the restaurants to go to, the coves to go to, it made the vacation so much better. Fair Winds team are helpful and efficient and try to go the extra mile to make the holiday a dream, I can highly recommend them. Genna Warrington2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly the most incredible experience of my life. Ivana and Paško were very helpful and kind, even when I asked a million questions. The boat was also beautiful and sailed spectacularly! I would recommend Fair Wind to anyone in a heartbeat. Definitely the best way to see Croatia 🩵 Sian Bourdin2025-07-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible time sailing on the Wind Chaser catamaran!

We had an incredible week aboard Windseeker. The boat was modern, beautifully maintained, and exceeded our expectations. Paško and Ivana were outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Our only regret was not booking for longer! Kominictví Tomáš Zdráhal2025-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very satisfied with this charter company. Their friendly attitude and support on our sailing was appreciated. I can highly recommend 🙂 Letitia van der Walt2025-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! We had an absolutely amazing week chartering a bareboat yacht with Fair Wind. From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. Communication was prompt and professional & the entire booking process was seamless. Ivana also had some very useful tips on itinerary & booking marinas. The boat was in excellent condition—well-maintained, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and safe journey. We knew Paško was just a call away if we had any questions. The Dalmatian coast is stunning and thanks to the flexibility of the bareboat charter, we were able to explore at our own pace. We island hopped on Summer Breeze around Solta, Brač & Hvar. We’ve chartered before, but this experience truly stood out! Thanks for a truely awesome experience. Highly recommend Fair Wind to anyone considering a sailing holiday in Croatia. We can’t wait to come back for another one! Stephanie Gendron2025-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t often write reviews but I feel compelled to write on about the wonderful week my family had aboard the Sunset Breeze! Ivana was so helpful with booking everything and answering my many questions before arrival. Miše was our amazing skipper that sailed the boat and welcomed our involvement as much as we desired. He was so patient and understanding with my 8 and 10 year old girls and they were thrilled to be involved even in small ways with sailing. Miše found fun swim stops along the way and planned a wonderful itinerary that included a variety of small stops and stops in nice towns. We had never been sailing or to Croatia but fell in love with both! We sailed at the end of May and enjoyed the weather and swam almost daily. The boat was very nice and was very comfortable. Croatia felt very safe and we all loved the food! We are so happy we decided to sail with Fair Winds and recommend them! Andreas Ebner2025-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Im Mai 2025 hatten wir ein neues Ziel: Split. Wir sind eine sehr segelbegeisterte Crew und fahren jedes Jahr 2 doch eher sportliche Törns. Aber einen derart tollen, freundlichen und netten Vercharterer hatten wir bis du diesem Törn noch nicht. Klein, fein und perfekt vom Check-in bis zum Check-out! Preis-Leistung perfekt! Die Segelyacht war in einem super gepflegten Zustand! Ich kann mit meinen Eindrücken Fair Wind -Yacht Charter als einen der besten wärmstens weiterempfehlen! Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 83 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Erin H2025-07-07Verified Best week with Fair Wind! We had an absolutely wonderful week sailing with Fair Wind! From my initial contact with Ivana last July to the post-trip email with a detailed map of our sailing route, we couldn’t be happier that we chose Fair Wind for our charter.While researching charter companies, I came across Fair Wind and was impressed by their glowing reviews here on TripAdvisor. After completing our trip, I can confidently echo many of the praises shared by other guests. Communication throughout the entire process was clear and prompt—whenever I had a question, Ivana responded quickly and helpfully.Our family of six chartered the Second Wind catamaran, which was in excellent condition—spotlessly clean and well-equipped. We were fortunate to be paired with Goran as our skipper, and he was a fantastic guide. He kept us safe, knew the perfect spots to dock for the night, and found idyllic coves for afternoon swims.Our youngest daughter especially loved the inflatable water park, while a personal highlight for me was paddle boarding and snorkeling in quiet, crystal-clear coves. Goran also had great restaurant recommendations during our stops—memorable meals included a traditional peka dinner in the hills above Jelsa, Hvar, and some of the freshest fish we’ve ever had on the island of Vis.Now that we’re home, I’m already dreaming about planning our next Croatian sailing adventure—with Fair Wind, of course! Super G2025-06-10Verified How a charter really should be. Great boat and excellent service. Everything on time and with a smile. Next time we will come bakc for sure. They even docked the boat for us in the really thight marina. steph740102025-05-31Verified Adventure in Croatia!

Ivana and her husband are very friendly, customer-oriented and accomodate individual needs, even beyond expectations. Our boat (Sunset Breeze, Bavaria 46) was super well-maintained, equipped with everything you could ask for and very clean. You can feel that Ivana and her husband want to provide their guests with the best possible experience in every little detail. Also our skipper Mise was very friendly, patient a very nice person to spend our holiday with! They are a 10 out of 10 and that is way I highly recommend them to others!! We are super glad we booked with Fair Winds and would love to do it again. Thank you! Kass Serplet2024-10-25Verified Sail Croatia with kids Our trip with Fair Wind was amazing from booking, in the lead up to our travel and right through to the trip itself. Ivana was so helpful before we arrived ensuring we felt comfortable and prepared for our trip. The pre trip information is thorough and ensures you know exactly what to expect. We had the most amazing week with our skipper Sandre who customised our itinerary to suit our needs and became our friend throughout our week together. We were so impressed with our experience we will be back and would recommend Fair Wind to anyone booking a sailing trip in Croatia. Thank you again!!Kass, Robbie, Isla and Lily Serplet GrahamofBosam2024-09-16Verified Great 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. Hugo S2024-09-14Verified Excellent 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. Patty R2024-09-07Verified Amazing 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! Phil D2024-08-30Verified Another 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. R B2024-08-23Verified a 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.Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 245 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
