Miha at Active Cruises did a great job arranging our trip and was extremely patient given all the delays. The boat was in great shape and the logistics of arrival and drop-off went smoothly. Much better than with some of the big charter companies.
At Miha’s recommendation we decided to hire a captain. This was a “super” decision. Marin was not only a great captain but an excellent guide, entertainment director, and local custom expert. He also went above and beyond to track down lost luggage and pick up late arrivals. His expertise securing us a safe berth each night at minimum expense was invaluable. It saved us money and eliminated the unknown pitfalls of mooring in a strange harbor. Our favorite stops were Stari Grad on Hvar and the island of Mljet. Stari Grad is a beautiful harbor at night and a great mix of night life and local culture. Mljet is a protected island with wonderful salt water lakes that we enjoyed on an E-bike tour. Our best excursion was the E-bike (this turned out to be a great way to see the interior of the islands) tour in Bol even though we were soaked in the end by a squall that blew in unexpectedly. We found a quaint little restaurant called Dalmatino to warm up in and grab some lunch. The workers were very friendly (like everyone in Croatia) and even watched our E-bikes while we relaxed. Overall it was a fantastic experience and one we would do again. And we would definitely use Active Cruises and get Marin as our captain!
