Dear Crew (Tome, Irena, Boris, Ante and Nikola)

Thank you so much for such a great week, you have all been so kind to us from start to finish. We look forward to coming back in 2025 and staying with you for a 5th time!

PS. Boris your lunches were absolutely delicious, nearly as nice as Irena's desserts!!

There are moments in time to have special days in paradise and this trip was one of them. From Tomis stead hand in charge, Ante's quiet talking but solid demeanour and Boris making us incredible food. Mostly, I'd like to that Nikola and Irene, who feel like one of the family!

I was worried when I heard the crew had changed but we have had the best time!

June 17- 24 2023

What an amazing week we have had with this fabulous crew on a beautiful boat. We will never forget this amazing vacation. What a fabulous country Croatia is and we certainly hope to visit again one day.

The crew of Dolce Vita absolutely made our vacation! Tome, thank you for planning and organising our journey and getting us safely from port to port. Ante, thank you for transporting us to and from the boat and for making sure all of our water toys worked. Nikola, we loved seeing your bright smile every day! Thank you for being so attentive, for chatting with the kids and for your fun shots! Irene, you are so sweet and kind. The kids loved spending time with you and we appreciate all the work you do to Mae our journey special. Boris, thank you for your delicious food (especially the pancakes!), late night swims and throwing the football!

We hope to cross paths with you all again,

American Family

June 10 - 17th 2023

We have had the most amazing week! The Dolce Vita is a stunning boat, made even more fantastic by the outstanding crew, Tomo, Ante, Nikola, Borris and Irene- you are all 'quite nice'! It is not often that all your expectations are met, but on this occasion they were exceeded by far!

Especially noted:

Nikola- mastered English 'builders tea' and gin and tonic maker!

Boris - 'anchor man'. Superb international cuisine from the Croatian Masterchef, but the fired eggs stole the show!

Ante- our own private water taxi and protector.

Irena - great maker of pre swim cherry brandy shots, towel sculptures and very creative table presentation.

Captain Tom - always a smile on his face, a natural leader always in control with expert knowledge not only on the waters and islands but of the best restaurants in town!

You have all been amazing and have all looked after us so well- we don't want to leave!

June 2023

This was our 2nd consecutive year chartering the Dolce Vita; all new crew, longer stay and extra stops and locations. New highlights include the waterpark beach in Makarska (be sure to eat at Tempera Street Food in Makarska!), a fantastic e-bike ride through Mljet National Park and some sunrise(ish) walks along the board walks.

Many thanks to our amazing crew: Irena, Nikola, Tom, Ante and Boris. YOU made our trip warm, friendly and welcoming. We are so grateful for all your hospitality and kindness. Wishing you the best.

Fingers crossed that we get to see you again in 2024!

Thank you for giving us the most memorable trip of a lifetime!!!

Captain Tomo, Ante, Ana, Boris + Peter - you are all a blessing. Thank you for sharing your medieval talents with us. Captain Tomo - you made us feel so safe - Ante - you were so helpful and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. Ana + Peter - you are the most amazing hostess + host. And finally, to Boris, you are the best cook in the whole Mediterranean !!! Thank you! Thank you for giving us the most memorable trip of a lifetime!!!

What an amazing week we’ve had aboard Dolce Vita with your wonderful crew!

“What an amazing week we’ve had aboard Dolce Vita with your wonderful crew! It’s hard to know where to start, it’s as if every one of your read our minds and always knew when to appear with an iced latte or one of Anas spectacular iced teas, or an extra pillow or a pina collada. We are going to miss every one of you. I don’t think there was a single moment when any of the crew told us they couldn’t do something for us that we requested. I can only wish we had a few more days so Jay could play basketball with the Captain or Bobby could race Ante in swimming. Not only that: you helped us plan the perfect itinerary with the perfect stops, you managed to get us dinner reservations at the best restaurants, and Boris prepared us some of the best meals of our lives. And no matter how much of a mess we made, Peter and Ana miraculously made everything spotless instantaneously.”

I could never have dreamed such a trip would be so special.

This has been a true delight. I could never have dreamed such a trip would be so special. The wonderful crew was like having family that made every minute of the day a delight. Kudos to the captain who took us off our itnerary to special places that he knew well. All in all a memory for the ages.

We have had the most glorious week aboard Dolce Vita.

“We have had the most glorious week aboard Dolce Vita. The yacht is beautiful but what made our week so special was this fabulous crew. Captain Tomo, Peter, Ante, Ana and Boris were all so brilliant + anticipated everything we needed. We look forward to sailing with them again next year and we depart with very full hearts.”

Our time on Dolce Vita exceeded all expectations of service and gracious hospitality.

“These are holidays (which can be many over the course of a lifetime), and these are memories of experiences that are so unparalled one feels they will merly be repeated. Our time on Dolce Vita exceeded all expectations of service and gracious hospitality. Croatia is stunning and the boat is beautiful, but the crew are the magic that elevated this entire adventure. I can not imagine replicating the week we’ve had, but I am confident Tomo will create somethng more amazing next year. We arrived strangers and depart as friends.”

Our week with the most wonderful crew in the world on the most beautiful boat in the world.

“Our week with the most wonderful crew in the world on the most beautiful boat in the world. Created the best memories for our family. We will be back to see more off gorgeous Croatia!”
