SOLITAIRE | 2020

Franko & Nina are an extraordinary host & hostess team: genial, accommodating, capable & fun to spend time with. Since it was just the two of us (Carole & me) we really enjoyed the interaction with them and the local cultural and culinary insights they shared. We would love to sail with them again anywhere. The entire Solitaire experience was flawless in every respect.

Franko and Nina made this trip an unforforgettable experience for us! They knew so many fantastic places, restaurants and Nina was serving everyday breakfast and lunch full of variety , everything was so delicious! We had fantastic days with on the solitaire.

It was a last minute holiday and I can be honest that the opportunity to be on a Sunreef was fantastic at the price offered …it was significantly more than our holiday planned in France but well worth it in every way

Also Franco and Nina really crowned the experience as it is very important to us to be with people that make us feel relaxed and yet are attentive and very professional

We were especially touched by their consideration to our son Toby who has special needs and built a strong bond with both of them

This is priceless

The one week aboard Solitaire was the best week ever! Nina and Franko were extremely nice and welcoming, always offering a helping hand and always trying to fulfill all of our wishes. We couldn’t have wished for a better team. I would always do it again and highly recommend it! 

It was amazing experience and the captain Franco with a crew nina made the vacation more comfortable, and relaxing. Their service was extremely high-level.

This was our first trip to Croatia, and it was a trip of a lifetime!! We have cruised the BVIs before, but this was nothing compared to our trip aboard Splendido with Franko and Nina. I'm so grateful!! Croatia, wow, and scenery was amazing. But what made this trip was the crew of Franko & Nina. Their service and spirit was absolutely the best. Every detail was executed flawlessly. By the end of the trip we felt like family. They were born and raised in Croatia, and they made us fall in love with this beautiful country. The meals from Nina were amazing, home taught from generations of her family. Captain Franko was a skilled seaman and he was in total control of the vessel!! They made sure we had fun and enjoyed our vacation each and every day. My heart is so full from this trip. We will come back, and we will plan to trip in town with Franko & Nina. We hope they come to America and visit us in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you so much for making this a trip of a lifetime :) With love, Ron and Carrie Spencer Boise, Idaho USA

A trip of a life time. Croatia, the islands, the towns, the people, the water, the sunshine, the boat… all beautiful! It's hard to put it all into words. We have taken a similar trip to BVI, but this exceeded all expectations. That aside, what we will remember the most is Nina & Franko. Nina's home cooking was amazing, her cakes taste like flowers from the generations of family cooking expertise. She was so kind and gentle with everything she did. Franko was a great captain, always in control of the boat and all things happening, that made it so special was we felt like family. It was always a warm, comfortable experience. We will come back and seek out Nina & Franko, that will be the boat we vacation on, large or small. We have made friends for life. Thank you so much! Scott & Debbie

Most amazing trip! Nina & Franko were the most incredible hosts. Every morning they greeted us with warm smiles and catered to our every need. Nina's cooking is to die for – we preferred to eat on board because her meals were far better than any restaurant. We renewed our vows onboard, and they made it the most special occasion with decorations, candles, music and photography. We truly can't thank you enough for making this the trip of a lifetime! ♡ Mike & Lynnette Frank Seattle, Washington USA

Definitely 5 STARS! The entire tour was fantastic from start to finish, and the boat was in excellent condition. Other than seeing the Croatian Islands, the highlight of the tour was Captain Franko and the hostess Nina; they were great. Franko’s knowledge of the islands, along with his ability to find scenic, quiet bays to anchor, was a highlight.
Nina is a great hostess and an unbelievable cook, and definitely pampered us!
I would highly recommend this tour!

One of my favourite holidays ever. A rare example of a holiday I would repeat exactly as it was done this time. Franko and Nina were exceptional and a key part of our holiday enjoyment.

Franko and Nina were amazing hosts, we had the time of our lives. Franko was cool calm and collected and navigated the threat of storm calmly and competently making us feel safe at all times. Ninas food was amazing and far exceeded our expectations, absolutely delicious. Truly they are both fantastic hosts with exceptional boat handling skills which was impressive to watch and learn how the pros do it. Thank you so much to you both you made a dream holiday come true in every sense.

The boat and staff were both amazing. The food was really a standout, the menus were delicious and healthy.

The crew was amazing and so accommodating. We loved all the stops and locations they choose for us. This boat is our favorite out of all our previous charters. The best!

Franko and Nina were most hospitable hosts. They are very knowledgeable and professional and helpful — and the food on board the ship was substantially better than the food in the restaurants on shore that we visited!

Our destinations were beautiful, but the highlight of the trip was the time on the boat. The crew was incredible- service was great and the food and drinks aboard the boat were better than anything we had on any island.

Took a weeklong trip with Franko and Nina and had an excellent time. The accommodations were stellar, they helped us plan and attend activities extremely well, and their cooking was amazing.
