Katherine Serplet2024-10-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Peter Eilenberg2024-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing time with Fair Wind and our catamaran sailing around the islands off Split. Ivana was fantastic and very professional during the time we organised our charter from Australia, nothin was too difficult for her and she focused on and helped us with all our details. When we arrived Ivan was helpful with our supplies, and their web site was real good with suggested routes and helpful hints. Our skipper Mise was a great fellow and very experienced and professional, we very much enjoyed his company. We cannot recommend Fair Wind highly enough for your sailing holiday around Croatia. Tsvetelina Petrova2024-10-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best yacht charter in Croatia. Thank you Ivana and Pashko! 🙂 Patty Rucker2024-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ivana and FairWind deserves 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 FairWind 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 FairWind. You will have an adventure of a lifetime! Vladimir Romanov2024-09-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience renting a sailboat from this charter agency for two weeks. Their professional approach was evident in every aspect of their service, from the initial communication to the final details. Everything was well-organized, and the boat was in perfect condition. I was pleasantly surprised by their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Phil Devine2024-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Kelli Camp2024-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Lindsay Willmore2024-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fair Wind blew us away with their responsiveness throughout the planning process and exceptional quality of charter experience. Everything on the boat was functional and thoughtfully optimized.

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! 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! EmanuelDom2024-12-20Verified Super service by the team, highly recommended!! 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!

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.

Nikki F2024-08-14Verified Exceptional 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.Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 244 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
