It is difficult to find the words to describe what a great experience we had as a family. Croatia is stunning and experiencing it with a local to guide you is invaluable. The boat was lovely and a wonderful way to travel. Mateo was such a great host. The water polo experience was amazing. I can't say enough good things about this trip - was truly the trip of a lifetime!

I had an incredible time! The Adriatic is beautiful to swim in and Croatia is delightful to explore! I look forward to returning!

I had an amazing time in Croatia on board the ship Amalia! The ship was very nice, in good shape, spacious, and clean. Ivan was a great host and had our days very nicely planned with lots of swimming and time to visit the cities we had anchored in for the night. We did have some bad weather to contend with, but Ivan with the help of the Captain was able to determine a Plan B which was still nice. The food was also good and plentiful, especially cooking for such a large group. Daily salad and fresh fruit was a plus! Highlights of the trip was town of Korcula, city tour & private dinner, Dubrovnik, and Pucisca! The only thing I would suggest is to put into place some sort of head count after time in the water and when pulling up anchor to leave port. The trip allowed me to see and experience what Croatia has to offer the world, and gave me reason to come back and explore more of the country. Thanks so much, Diane

Swim Cruise aboard the Amalia was AMAZING. It was just an incredible experience and it was my second time. The crew on the Amalia moved us around beautiful places on the Croatian coastline and islands. One of the highlights was when we left Dubrovnik at 4:30 am (while everyone else was asleep) to outrun to local storms, ensuring we found a safe to port and smooth waters to swim in. Their dedication and care for our safety and comfort made the trip unforgettable. Ivan and Hrvoje from Swim Cruise, were fantastic hosts—kind, accommodating, and always going the extra mile.Highly recommend!

So fun to do a first time swim trip. The crew did a great job finding swimmable waters despite alot of wind. Bravo. And do to that it was hard to make a dedicated schedule which for me was a bit problematic but that is all part of the journey. Given that, the crew was so hospitable to make it all a great trip. In Korcula the side trip to a farm site was just a bit long and wish we could have just enjoyed the dinner there in the port. The food on the boat at times ran out and wish there was a more of a selection but that is being somewhat picky on my part after doing a small boat cruise that had an amazing option of choices. Being in the lower part of the boat was ok but as i mentioned above with the cruise, there are tier pricing for rooms. I would have paid more for an upper tier cabin. Confirming the pickup from the airport was non existent and had to try and book alternative options only to be notified the day before about confirmation. You guys run a swim vacation that could so be very popular but a few more connections to people involved on the trip would be very helpful ! All the best and I mean it ! Libby Tobin

An amazing trip! Mateo and Ivan were perfect guides and hosts. We went to great destinations, learned about local culture and customs and ate great food! The scenery was beautiful and the daily swim stops were perfect! I would recommend this trip to anyone. We will be back and we look forward to seeing Mateo and Ivan again!

What an incredibly special trip for our family. Our son’s quality of play improved (vastly), we so enjoyed our time with Mateo, Ivan, and Nikolai. The three of them are a triple-threat in coaching and everyone learned so much from them. Thanks for making our family’s first trip to Croatia unforgettable. We’d also pitch this to families without kids playing water polo. We invited our friends (fam of 4) and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves! While we were at games, they would go off and explore the gorgeous places we pulled into. It was all fantastic for everyone. Until we see you all again! Xo - The Jones Family
