"Dear Captain, Thank You for a great and fantastic trip! From day one we felt the warm feeling You and Your excellent team was ready to share with us. The route, service and Your great attitude made us to feel extremely priviledged during the whole staying & sailing. We all are looking forward to sailing with You soon again! Puno hvala!"
(Gulet Andi Star, June 2013)
Hello Nikolina. Yes yes yes I loved our gulet loved the other passengers and loved the crew. We would do it again and have given your web page to friends. A minor suggestion might be to have a couple of bikes on board and perhaps some water toys such as a small canoe or kayak. Other than that it was perfect. Thank you for a great holiday and now all my friends know what a gulet is.
Joyce (Canada), September 2012
Hi Nikolina, Thank you very much for the helping us with the holiday. This is our 3rd time and we had a great time once again. Our Skiper was Marko who is simply excellent. We would recommend him with all our heart. Suggestions: The bavarias are getting on the old side and maybe the fleet needs to be updated and have some more high end boats available. We had Bavarija 49 and it is showing its age. Email/communications were very clear and it was very easy to book and organise pick ups. Thank you very much once again!
Andreas P. (Cyprus), July 2012
Draga Nikolina, Bili smo vrlo zadovoljni sa cjelokupnim jedrenjem. Nismo imali nikakvih problema s brodom, sve je bilo kao sto je i dogovoreno. Mislav je bio odlican skiper i sigurno nas je vodio kroz nemirno more kojega je bilo dosta taj tjedan. Komunikativan, nenametljiv i zanimljiv su sve njegove vrline zbog kojih smo se i ove godine odlucili da nam se pridruzi. Odlicno se uklopio i dobro snalazio sa svim nasim zahtjevima. Hvala Vama i cijelom timu u Orvasu na organizaciji i profesionalizmu.
Srdacan pozdrav, Dragan C., Hrvatska, Kolovoz 2012

Good day Nikolina
We are back home in South Africa after a stunning holiday in Croatia. What a beautiful country!!
Sorry we missed you on the Saturday morning … We want to thank you for the welcoming gift -
it was lovely wine and oil and we all enjoyed it . Your coordination of all the admin and other paper work was excellent.
Thanks again.
The sailing was great. Our skipper Igor was not only very professional but also very skilled and
a caring person with an understanding of the different needs of guests. We could not ask for anyone more competent and
considerate to skipper and guide us.
The boat was in great shape and overall well maintained.
Hope to see
you again in future.
Con & Annatjie, Pasquale & Dalena , South Africa, July 2012
Postovana Gosp. Skabar, ovim putem se jos jednom zahvaljujem na svemu sto ste uradili, vezano za rezervaciju jahte,
u vrlo kratkom vremenu koje sam vam silom prilika zadao.
Pomenucu vrlo lep i topao prijem vasih koleginica Nikoline
i Marine koje su me kontaktirale
i docekale da bi sve bilo perfektno.
Prosledite pozdrave i Mislavu Jakelicu koji
nas je upoznao sa svim potrebnim detaljima na
brodu i bio spreman da u svakom trenutku pomogne.
Radovan (Švicarska), Kolovoz 2011
A huge thank you for setting up a vacation of a lifetime for my friends and I. We had Zoran and Marko as our skippers and they were simply amazing!! You are very lucky to have them on your team, and I am convinced our vacation would not have been any where as good without them. We had complete confidence in them at all times and their knowledge of the area is second to none. The service was outstanding and they were always one step ahead of us in terms of our needs!! Thank you for giving us an experience we will never forget!!
Mia (Canada), July 2011
I want, once again, to thank Orvas for helping us with skipper and a lovely villa. Your help was a big comfort
and a support for me.
Heidi (Norway), July 2011
..zahvaljujuci cijelom Orvas timu i iznad svega Rikardu Blaskovicu - Riki, proveo sam sa jos sedmoricom, sta
kolega sa posla sta prijatelja (6 Njemaca/Njemica i jedan prijatelj Hrvat), nezaboravnih sedam dana u nasoj predivnoj zemlji.
Iako sam iz Splita i more i nasa obala mi nisu nepoznati, ovo je bija dozivljaj kojeg, iako sam puno zemalja proputova,
jos nigdi dozivija nisam.
Preko prvih kontakata sa vasim (krasnim, puno lipim) curama iz biroa pa sve do dana ukrcavanja
na Kucarin uvik su bile, bez obzira jeli Ema, Nikolina ili Marija, jako ljubazne, srdacne i profesionalne.
A posli ukrcaja
vas djelatnik Rikard ne samo da je nastavija u tom stilu nego je ucinija da slijedecih 6 dana na Kucarinu za sve (p)ostanu
legendarni.
Ljubazan, krajnje usluzan, uvijek nastojeci da nam pruzi informacije o otocima i mjestima gdje smo bili
kao i o samom jedrenju, uvijek spreman da nam ispuni svaku zelju kao i da nas svojim salama nasmije, postao je ubrzo jedan
iz "nase ekipe". I pored toga sta se sa svima takoreci sprijateljija, nastavio je da obavlja njegovu ulogu krajnje korektno
i profesionalno. Jednostavan, nenametljiv, nezahtjevan, sa srcem i dusom moreplovac i "domacin skiper".
Da ne duzim,
da imam svoju charter firmu odmah bi vam ga oteja i zaposlija kod sebe. Kao i ostale momke kod vas - Marka, Joku, Mislava
- njih sam upozna.
Zahvalite se molim vas u moje i nase ime cijeloj Orvas ekipi i naravno posebno Riki.
Nadam se
da cu vec slijedece ljeto uspit skupit ili istu ekipu (tesko je naci zajednicki termin) ili sa par novih ponovo dozivit ono
sta je ovog ljeta uslo u legendu ;-).
A onda zna se, Kucarin i Rike idu sa mnom, sa nama.
Srdacan pozdrav iz hladne
Njemacke i puno uspjeha u daljnjem radu kompletnom Orvas-Yachtingu!
Zvonko (Hrvatska) , Srpanj 2011
…Your email has instantly transported me back to a fantastic sailing playground with wonderful memories of 2 of
the best weeks sailing I have ever done in my life! … I also attach an article I wrote for our Sailing Club newsletter
which you might be interested in. Everyone we dealt with in Orvas was very helpful and friendly and we have been singing
your praises to everyone we have talked to about trip.
Thanks again for your part in our “once in a life-time”
holiday.
John (Australia), October 2010
Vama i timu Orvasa želim još jednom zahvaliti na profesionalnom i otvorenom pristupu. Sve je bilo izvrsno, izašli
ste nam u susret sa svime što smo trebali i svi su bili izuzetno zadovoljni. Čujemo se dakle drugi puta za slijedeće
jedrenje, možda u postsezoni. Jedino se nadam da ćete do tada na neki način riješiti pitanje osiguranja jedara i motora
– znam da je to problem sa osiguranjem, ali isto tako znam i da nije uobičajeno da charter tvrtka taj rizik prenosi
na unajmitelja, tj. druge tvrtke to ne rade.
Dakle još jednom hvala na svemu i želim Vam uspješnu sezonu!
Igor (Hrvatska), Travanj 2007
…we returned from our holiday in Croatia on Saturday and we wanted to thank you all very much. The organization
at Orvas was brilliant and everything went very smoothly. We would particularly like to single out Ricardo who did the handover
on arrival and departure: he was very helpful and gave us lots of ideas about routes and destinations and was very welcoming.
The girls in the office were also very helpful. Please let Marco, the manager, know how pleased we were with his staff. We
look forward to visiting you again. Thanks once again.
Lynn, Keith, Claire and Alex (UK), July 2007
Just to confirm you that everything was perfect with our charter last two weeks. The boat was really excellent
– including outboard engine – and we enjoyed very much sailing around Dalmacija. Special thanks to Tomo and the
technical staff in Split. Great job. See you next time.
Carlos (Spain), August 2007
…In what concerns to Orvas’ service we would like to point out your professionalism and concern
with our trip. Everything was nicely organized and the best skipper choice.
Indeed, our words should be mostly addressed
to our skipper Domagoj as without him it would not be possible to experienced such a special trip.
He is a great skipper
(meaning, we felt we could trust him with our lives – which was of most importance to us as it was our first sailing
experience). He always advised us on the best alternatives to visit places and despite one day without sailing (due to weather
conditions) we could accomplished our planned itinerary. He knows the sea and the islands as he knows his own hands which
aimed us to visit amazing/beautiful/unforgettable places… he took us around two wonderful bike tours through Vis and
Mljet… that will be in our mind forever.
From simple things, we got perfect days and unforgettable moments, the
learning how to sail, the swimming, the wonderful bays and scenne, the card games, the cooking… we had a very good
time on board, and we felt like a real crew. … We wish all the success for Orvas and Domagoj. Thank you for this unforgettable
visit.
Filipa (Portugal), September 2007
We enjoyed our week in Croatia and were very pleased with the boat and your service. I have recommended you
to friends of mine who you might hear from for bookings next year. I am not sure of my plans for 2008 but will certainly consider
you again.
Philip (UK), October 2007
We were very impressed with Orvas. We have hired yachts in Australia and Thailand and your service was the best,
in the particular the way you looked after us getting a taxi and finding our accommodation after we returned the yacht. WE
felt valued!
We met a Canadian family who hired a yacht from another company. They had nothing but trouble with the outboard,
the toilet, the icebox, he diesel motor etc.
We are happy to report we did not have one gear failure or maintenance issue.
We are happy to recommend to others that may wish to use Orvas.
All the best. We would love to return but not sure
what year.
Ray (Australia), October 2007
„We were delighted with our holiday, Joshco is a wonderful skipper, filling us with local knowledge on
the areas we visited. The islands we saw were beautiful and the mixture of sailing and time to see the islands was perfect.
Unfortunatly the weather was too calm for us to sail much but that couldn't be helped.
We did find the boat a bit too
small so would go for a bigger one the next time, and there will be a next time we enjoyed it so much.
You were very
helpfull from the start of our looking into planning our holiday to the end, thank you.“
Gemma (UK)
„The experience was amazing, I did actually e-mail Orvas and thank you and Marco when we got back.
He was extremely
accommodating and easy going and tried to make the best arrangements possible for us.
The yacht, although it was clearly
not brand new - was fine and perfectly clean and what we would have expected.
We loved Croatia and the islands and can't
wait to come back.
We would like to come to Dubrovnik and then travel to Miljet and Korcula this time, not sure when
exactly, so yes please do include me in your bulletins.
Many thanks
Kind regards,“
Angie (UK)
„Thank you for e mail. We had a great holiday and thoroughly enjoyed Croatia. The boat was very prepared and we did
not have any major problems. The only thing that did cause a minor problem was the sailing manual of the Croatia coats on
the boat was in German and no member of the crew could read German. We would have brought our own from the U.K. if we had
known one was not available.
The marina's on the coast were very good as long at you arrived early. One point I would
like to make it the hazard of filling with diesel in Split if the wind is from the south east blowing force 4 or above. It
is extremely dangerous as the diesel dock is totally unprotected and I would suggest future charterers be advised that if
the wind is in this direction they will not be penalised for not filling up.
We would like to receive your news updates
and special offers when available. We might well be back next year.
Thanks again for your making our holiday so memorable.
Kind regards to all the Orvas Team“
