Dinko, Goran, Mario, Karlo and Marin of M/Y Cataleya,
Our group of 16 family and friends can’t thank you enough for an outstanding week traveling on this beautiful yacht! From bike riding in Mljet to buggy adventures in Korčula to enjoying nightlife on Hvar, wine tasting in Jelsa and daily water sports and views of the gorgeous bays in the Adriatic Sea — we didn’t miss an opportunity to enjoy all that Croatia has to offer.
The delicious food + drink, hospitality, folk music and camaraderie with the crew provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable experience. We will miss all of it and you (our wonderful crew!) when we return to the States. We will never forget our amazing vacation on the Cataleya.
OK! See you!

We wanted to come and experience Croatia but we didn’t expect to come and fall in love with your beautiful country!! But most of all, you all gave us such a good impression and example of how friendly, hard working, and fun Croatians can be — at least all of you on the boat (and in the family restaurant)!
All of your own love of your country and pride in all that it represents, made it easy for us to enter into that same love and appreciation for all that you shared with us on this amazing voyage and trip!
Luka, your humble, tireless service to all of us was such an inspiration and joy to all of us!
Each one of you seemed to work together so well and made for an awesome team! I think we had the BEST captain in all of the Adriatic Sea… thank you for all of your care in planning our daily route and for giving us the best possible experience each and every day (and night)… and then for your effort in communicating the plans and possibilities at all times!
This amazing trip will be something we will remember with pleasure the rest of our lives!
Thank you with all of our hearts!

Marin: Thanks for keeping us alive on this boat, the awesome wine and finding us the best spots on each island. Also a big thanks for keeping us updated on the map regarding our position. You were an awesome captain!
Hrvoje: You were the best barman and always took great care of the children. I hope you will get some sleep. Also good luck with Duolingo in your mission to learn German! Also congrats on your engagement, we hope you will be happy in your marriage.
Karlo: Where to start… Thank you for making us smile, laugh and for almost drowning us during the donut activity! We will always remember those backflips. We hope you finish your apprenticeship and also pass your exam (third time is a charm — keep your hair how it is 🙂 )!
Ivan: Thanks for driving us around so many times! Most importantly, thanks for having helped us get the drone back! The kids also loved the equipment in the water so thanks for taking care of that! And obviously for the picture!
Toma: You were & definitely appreciated by the boys for helping them fish. We will always recognize you with your cap and sun glasses. Thanks for keeping the boat shiny and be clean

Wow what a spectacular cruise!

The boat was perfect, you all made us feel like family, you gave us laughs, and we had some good conversations), And you all kept us safe, Croatia is beautiful. the islands were fun to explore). Beach needs more sand tho. (come visit me in Mexico & I’ll show you some soft sand.) 🙂
Thanks to the Chef for the delicious Food. Don’t doubt your food, I’m serious. It’s perfect.
Thanks Evan + Harry for getting us to shore and back & glad you had the key to do that 🙂
Karlos you made me laugh. I agree with you on everything you said. And even on Little Sleep. A Pope an Lucas you worked hard for us, even on little sleep.
You’re an amazing Host. You’re fun, friendly, comfortable, sensitive & strong.
Thanks for making our week awesome, we will always remember you + all the details)…

Dear Captain and crew:

To share this week with my friends and you during these days has been an unique experience. I think all of us will remember all the moments lived here. Your country and your ship are wonderful, but great things only are possible with great people behind.
So thank you to make everything easy and for your efforts to create a magic travel.
