THANK YOU FOR A LOT OF MEMORIES...

29 August 2026

Thanks for such a wonderful week, we have had a great time. We have felt in family, have discovered a great country, great islands, and with the best crew and best and awesome memories, from rock and bridge jumping, to lots of swimming sessions, to a lot of discovering and shopping in the small villages, to some great lunches in the boat (we are still dreaming of the tomato risotto), to some other experiences the parents don’t know about… (carlo knows ;-)).

But in all seriousness we have had a super wonderfull time THANK YOU!!!

First of all: thank you for being so attentive. Everything was amazing and exceeded my expectations (even though my expectations were already very high): Marc (Chef): Thank you for the amazing food and dessert! Deni and Kharlo: thanks so much!! for taking us everywhere. Finally: thanks Shema (Sheme?) for every espresso martini! You make the best ones and it is probably what i’m gonna miss the most.

Croatia is beautiful!! It has been my favorite country EVER, thanks for the amazing recommendations and showing us the prettiest places and corners!

Hoping this is the first but not last place I come!

Again, many thanks!!

With much love:

Being a modest family mostly from small towns in Ohio (USA) we are not used to being taken care of. We work hard and play harder. Coming on this trip with 12 of us including four kids (ages: 8, 7, 5 & 3) there were a number of causes of concern.

We are happy to report that our journey from Dubrovnik to Split has been one of the single greatest experiences we have had as a family unit.

The crew was more than accommodating throughout our journey. They stopped being just ‘crew’ early on and became more like family.

They spoiled the adults with stories, cocktails and new dining experiences! Then they spoiled the kids with fun little touches like specialty-colored straws and yummy snacks.

Thank you to the crew of the Gideon, we couldn’t have had a better experience.

What an amazing week with you on board of the Gideon! Deni, you brought us to wonderful spots, which will remain in our memories for a long time. Marin – you exceeded all our expectations with your delicious meals – among the best of all we tried during the trip.

Carlo – you made us fly through the air with the “donut” and took us safely home every evening. And Sime – you read all our wishes and anticipated them every day, letting us feel like kings and queens!!

All in all, we take with us a life-time memory to take with us home to Madrid and Munich.

On behalf of all 16 of us, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for making our holiday cruise truly unforgettable! From the very first moment on board until the last goodbye you made us feel welcome, safe and cared for. The way you navigated the beautiful Croatian coast, prepared delicious meals and took care of every detail with professionalism and kindness made this trip very exceptional.

We hope our paths will cross again and until then we will carry the memories of this wonderful journey with us!

Thank you for an unforgettable week aboard Gideon! From the moment we stepped on board, we were welcomed with warm smiles and open arms. Every single day was filled with joy, laughter, and amazing experiences – thanks to your incredible crew!

Chef, your food was absolutely outstanding! Every meal was a new adventure, giving us a real taste of your cuisine. The fresh bread every morning was a dream, and the care you put into each dish made every bite feel special.

Thank you for an extraordinary week!

We came aboard to celebrate 50th Birthdays and you made the week magical and memorable. The Croatian Islands are so gorgeous – each one unique. Our time on the boat was relaxing and fun – thank you for taking such good care of us! The hospitality and food far exceeded our expectations and the week will hold a special place in our hearts.

Simon – thank you for your exceptional service – knowing exactly what we needed and when we needed it. Your thoughtfulness, anticipation of needs, and ability to set a tone of comfort and relaxation was appreciated.

Captain Deni – thank you for helping to guide our trip so we could visit the specific places we wanted to explore.

Chef Marin – your food was so delicious and gave us a wonderful taste of Croatian cuisine. The freshly baked rolls were a favourite along with the varied preparations of seafood.

Carlo – thank you for getting us to & from the boat & the islands – even with a deflated front end – you still made it happen!

We had an unforgettable week on the Gideon and are so grateful to you for your work, energy and attention.

Thank you!

Dear amazing crew!

Thank you so much for an incredible sailing trip. We have had such a lovely time in honour of our parents’/grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary.

To Deni – Thank you for accommodating our “hop-on-hop-off” itinerary and sailing us to the most beautiful locations (safely)!

To Carlo – We literally wouldn’t have made it to shore without you. Thank you for always being ready to come and collect us all on the tender – it’s impressive!

To Marin – What incredible food! Thank you for all of your care and hard work to keep us fed and happy! We will be stealing your recipes to remind ourselves of this trip!

Finally, to Sime – Thank you for making us feel comfortable and welcome the moment we stepped on the boat. You have been absolutely amazing, especially to help set up a celebration lunch for the 50th anniversary!

This has been a trip our family will never forget, so thank you all for making it so wonderful! Croatia will always feel like home.

We were so excited for this week when leaving Belgium and it exceeded our expectations more than we could have ever imagined.

Thanks for the hospitality, the great atmosphere, the chill vibes, showing us your beautiful country, the well-equipped boat…

Shout out to “Pearl “for the amazing food. We hate Belgian food now…

Shout out to Carlo for fitting 15 people safely in the Dingy.
NEW RECORD!

Shout out to Sime to make us feel at home and to be our accomplice in all our sneaky plans and weird games.

And last but least, shout out to Deni for sailing us safely to all these incredible places.

Best vacation ever!

The happy happy Belgians.

To all the crew
