SON DE MAR | 2019

What a great trip! The boat and crew were all terrific. Mate, the skipper, was really amazing and accommodating. The food was ridiculously good!  We actually had to have them dial it down a little because we were all getting fat. All of our excursions were big hits too.

Clients did not want to leave, and they shared the most amazing photos.  Took the crew to dinner and they appeared in many photos. Very happy.

I just wanted to say organizing this charter with Captain Mate has been an incredible experience from start to finish.

"What a trip! The boat, the crew, the food, and all the adventures! If you ever need recommendations for SON DE MAR please use this one!"

Today is the sad day of our departure from Son De Mar. our experience on this yacht with this crew has been beyond exceptional. Every detail has been considered to create a daily ritual of fantastic meals, wine, Prosecco and activities. This crew now feels like family to us. Our anniversary ceremony was beyond my expectations. We renewed our vows in an old church on the island where the blue cave exists. Mate and his crew had every detail taken care of. Fresh flowers, music, photos, and a wonderful meal out.

Our week aboard the Son de Mar in Croatia was beyond extraordinary! From the moment we set sail, Captain Mate Vitaljic and his incredible crew made this journey one we will never forget.

Chef Antonija and sous chef Nena spoiled us with world-class meals that rivaled any fine dining experience. Stews Matea, Indija, and Lea brought so much warmth, care, and attention to detail, making us feel truly pampered every day. Deckhands Ivan, Luka, and Nikola worked tirelessly to ensure smooth sailing, safety, and fun at every stop.

The entire team worked in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere that was both professional and deeply personal. Croatia’s coastline is breathtaking, but it was this exceptional crew that made our trip absolutely magical.

If you are considering sailing Croatia, the Son de Mar with this outstanding crew is the only way to do it!

Everything was perfect. The crew. The boat. The food was exceptional… one of the best we had so far

The trip went very well indeed. We would be hard pushed to expect any better.

The boat was adequately furnished as advertised, very clean and very efficiently run.
Toys and facilities all in working order and always at hand. 
The crew were always prompt, efficient and very courteous, eager to please with a genuine smile.
Captain Mate runs an excellent crew and is very professional.
The food was excellent and varied. The wife of the captain was in charge of the kitchen and worked tirelessly to impress us with her skills. 
We had a wonderful time on board and have nothing to complain about. We would certainly recommend the Son de Mar to friends and families that enjoy the sea and love the simple, essential pleasures of a laid back life on board a very good value for money yacht.
 

The charm and character of the SON DE MAR was something else. This combined with incredible
comfort of the yacht just added to our enjoyment. Not enough good things can be said about the crew. Captain, chef, deckhands and stewardesses were all most welcoming and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and all done with a smile and a pleasant nature.

Croatia was beautiful and we would highly recommend Mate and SON DE MAR to
anyone wanting to cruise the Adriatic. The crew were amazing, providing us with a truly unforgettable experience and the food was delicious, great variety and plentiful.

We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or boat. Everything was superb and the food next level.
