NAVILUX | 2012

“All a result of the outstanding service, warmth, kindness of the crew. Capt Luka found us marvelous secluded anchorages where we swam and enjoyed many meals before moving on to the next spot. Navilux, despite her age is in very good nick. The Chef, Dominic, is excellent. He caters to all requests: we had a gluten intolerant persona aboard one week, g'kids who liked things simple for dinner, lunch... we had fresh lobster, scorpion fish, monkfish, shrimp both in salad and in pasta, duck breast, pasta w/truffles, risotto and for the 4th of July the crew surprised us with decoration of red/white/blue and flags on the outdoor dining area with burgers, ribs, beans and an American flag cake for dessert. The crew always has a ready smile and friendly greeting no matter what the situation. Service across all areas; Rooms, bar service, meals, daily briefing on where to go and timing is without peer. Small laundry items done once per week at the same time sheets are changed mid week.

Capt Luka has a drone which he uses to take pics during the voyage which makes for greatmemories. If we do this again on Navilux (unless you find a Navilux equivalent for Greece) we will most likely limit ourselves to a Split-Split just touring the islands and small bays of that area which Capt Luka says we would enjoy. Weather on these weeks was quite hot as you nodoubt knew, but aircon worked fine in cabins. The new "toys" of sea bobs, jet skis, kayak, paddle boards, snorkeling gear all got great use during the trip. In fact the g'kids spent most of their time engaged with them as well as some fishing... only marginal success, but one g'son caught a fish after dinner on our last evening so was quite chuffed to end the trip on that note. All of our friends and family gave their week 5 stars...I cannot imagine how this could be improved upon..."

Croatia Destination, Beautiful Pristine scenery. The local people, warm, kind and very proud of their history and Country. Food Fresh every day, delicious.

The Navilux Yacht - it doesn't get any better. "Above and Beyond" my expectations.

Crew: Captain Luka, this is where it starts: The Captain takes care of the crew and the crew takes care of their guests. Captain Luka was "hands on" with his skill navigating the Yacht. He was in charge, you could see and feel he knew his responsibilities. His daily updates were respected and his sense of humor was enjoyable. Each day, he added a surprise to our morning chats. What we requested he made it happen. The way he handled the crew with respect and their response was the same. We felt like, they were our family.

Chef: Dominik was so excited to share his knowledge and the new dish he decided to treat us to each day. Never were we disappointed. His smile was contagious and the food delicious.
Mila, delightful, energetic always smiling. We discovered that she used to be a Tour Guide and she shared her knowledge about the islands we were visiting. Mila added her personal touch to her job. Jaksa. Delightful to wake up and see his presence. Never a table setting out of place. Food kept coming and he found the perfect place on the table. A wonderful person to chat with. His knowledge and personal experience made us feel special.

Frencis, worked behind the scene. Our cabins were spotless when we returned. Always smiling and unconditionally wanted to help in any way she could. Grgo, Luca & Jure, deckhands. Everyday they set up our toys (jetskies, floating marina, paddle boards, kayaks, Lifejackets) ready for the guests. Smiling going about their schedule When we wanted to go ashore they were hands on with the Tender Boat. The crew and guests were one big happy family for the eight days we were on the NAVILUX YACHT.


It wasn't a job for the Captain & Crew it was their "Passion"love of the water and their work. We were made to feel part of their daily lives for a short time, we were family. ....this is the memory.

Would I cruise on NAVILUX again - In a heart Beat!” 
 

"Best part was without a doubt, the chef coming out to explain what was prepared, how it was prepared, and the ingredients used. We absolutely loved that and did not expect it at all. The crew was 10+ throughout the entire charter. The yacht itself was in incredible condition, and the overall experience was flawless. Honestly, we do not think we will ever be able to top this experience. We enjoyed every single part of this charter."

“I recently enjoyed my second charter cruise on the Navilux sailing motor yacht in Croatia. Previously, I had also cruised in Greece on the Omnia, a slightly longer but equally impressive yacht. Both vessels are owned by Ante Ercegović, who also serves as Captain at times. It is truly difficult to put into words the exceptional experience created by Ante and his dedicated crew of seven. They made all six couples onboard feel like royalty—attentive, warm, and always going the extra mile. The chef was outstanding, preparing a wide variety of delicious dishes at nearly every meal; no one ever left the table hungry. One evening, the crew even joined us for a small party, and their laughter, joy, and genuine spirit made it an unforgettable highlight. I would not consider chartering with anyone else. The combination of world-class service, outstanding cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality makes Ante’s yachts absolutely unique.“

“Thank you to the amazing Navilux Crew. Our week with you has ruined all future holidays. Nothing will compare to this magical week. Thank you for the immense amount of patience with our children, for waking up early and fishing, playing hide and seek, and taking us to collect the lobster. We will be back! P.S. Thank you for the 365. appearance.“

“Navilux Team!!
Thank you so much for such an incredible week! You all work so hard, and most of it doesn’t even get noticed! All your work is what makes guests hang onto every last moment aboard. All the water toys and food also added so much! I will miss this so much! Thanks again!“

We finished the cruise yesterday, it was SUPERB!!
Everything was perfect and wonderful, food, drinks, great professionalism and especially the kindness and attention of Captain Nikola and his crew.
The best charter I have ever done.
Once again, I would like to thank you for guiding me and proposing this wonderful experience, and I would like to point out that the charter was wonderful.

 

“Our experience on board "Navilux" was simply outstanding. The entire crew led by Capt Ante could not be more hospitable, warm and welcoming. Every aspect of the week was professional and to the highest standard.

We had 6 adults and 4 children ranging from 16,14, 13 & 12. 

Superlatives are simply not enough to describe the quality of the boat which although built in 2012 is immaculate and held to the highest standard. Every need is catered to from clean towels and cabins, games for the kids, special food requirements, water activities etc. The Croatian coast lends itself to easy cruising, secluded anchorages, water clear as gin as well as opportunities to visit small villages and towns on the various islands. 

The food is almost too much. We had asked for more simple fare for our lunches this trip and were rewarded with salads, fish, bbq -- Chef Ante is an amazing talent. We had a plethora of fresh seafood as well as pastas and of course his desserts were a hit EVERY night.... This is a luxury charter in every respect. 

No one could be disappointed with an experience on board Navilux.. Our entire family continues to rave about our week (and looking forward to more)."
 

“We hadn't beyond all thoughts realised how incredible this holiday would be. The whole crew, the island hopping, the yacht + all of your everyday suggestions were perfect and made this trip one of the best we have ever had."

"Wow wow wow! We can’t thank you enough. BEST family vacation of our lives. The Captain and the full crew became close with both families. Everything exceeded our highest expectations! Navilux was absolutely PERFECT. Every detail was taken care of by the BEST crew and the awesome Captain! We will never forget this sailing experience. Looking forward to doing this in the future again!"

“NAVILUX is meticulously maintained. Melody is 10++. The rooms are perfectly kept. Jaksa is amazing – always smiling. Tina is lovely. The service was very impressive and the table settings were beautiful.” 

“What an amazing experience and beautiful yacht!! The food was out of this world, chef Ante is a truly talented and gifted person, preparing absolutely stunning dishes morning, noon and night. The crew seamlessly working always with a smile, running the yacht to perfection.”

“The service is really TOP NOTCH. Great steward who sees every little detail and is always ready for a small joke. Very clean cabins, GREAT CREW!!! I WOULD SURELY RECOMMNED HER TO OTHER BROKERS. She is great value for money."

“The crew are extremely attentive, positive and vibrant in approach. A perfect combination”
