“Great time on the 007. Dubrovnik is a beautiful place. The crew was nice and informed especially the deck hand. Boat was a smooth ride and clean. Took us to a great seaside lunch. Only complaint was we asked to tour islands and walk around and was told there wasn’t much to do or see once we were onboard so it was quite a boring itinerary that we’d expected. For the $$$ we paid it did not live up to the hype.”

Simon, our skipper, touched base with us prior to the trip to discuss where we would meet. He was in touch again the morning of the experience and even drove past our cruise ship and waved to us so we could see the boat before we were able to disembark the ship! His…”
