This was our first yachting experience and we had a blast. The entire trip was amazing and we loved the views of Islands from the yacht. Truly grateful for our Skipper Filip and hostess Spomanka for their hospitality and service.
Our family just returned from an incredible 7 night charter in the Adriatic. It was truly magical! We would definitely work with Nada again at Secret Adriatic who gave us great options to choose from, was responsive and easy to work with.
What a great experience booking our dream charter touring Croatian waters with Secret Adriatic. We worked closely with Nada choosing the right catamaran explaining what features were important to us-several common areas, sleeping arrangements, kitchen table size, and captain and hostess. Our boat fit us perfectly! It was spacious with plenty of common areas. Our captain was engaging and fun to talk with. He was great making dinner reservations on each island and also booking excursions. Our hostess was a phenomenal cook! It was such a treat having a homemade breakfast and lunch each day (and not having to clean up ;) ).
We were 3 Australian couples and hired the 42' Lagoon catamaran for a week. We had a fantastic time and sailed every day and stayed at different ports each night. all the towns and little villages were great and also great food in the restaurants. We also were able to eat on board as well. there were heaps of room on deck and the rear of the vessel. Inside had plenty of room ad well. The berths were comfortable and each of us had our own ensuite. The vessel was in great condition and easy to sail or motor. The water was a brilliant blue and swimming off the boat each day.
There is so much to see in this part of the world and all the ports were set up excellent for this type of holiday. We will need to come back a few more times to see more, and I would highly recommend to anyone who likes being on the water and can skipper a boat.
Secret Adriatic are great to deal with and made the whole process come together easy.
Thankyou Nada,
One of our best holidays ever.
We recently had a dream Adriatic vacation aboard Stella D’Oro, island hopping along the Croatian coast. We used Secret Adriatic to charter our boat, and boy, were we glad to have used them. Besides making the charter process easy to complete, they more than delivered on their promises. The day before we were supposed to sail, our originally chartered yacht had an engine problem that put it out of commission and threatened to ruin our long-awaited dream vacation. Our Secret Adriatic coordinator, Nada, sprang into action and within 2 hours was able to find a replacement yacht (Stella D’Oro), and even though the new boat was a bit more expensive, they honored the original price. Secret Adriatic absolutely saved our vacation. I highly recommend that you use them if you’re thinking of chartering a Yacht.
We had a wonderful sailing week booked with Secret Adriatic. The communication process and personalised service sets them apart from others. Nada made sure we had a dog friendly skipper so that our dogs get adjusted to being on boat...
Hello Nada, The charter is beyond amazing, we are having an amazing experience.
We had a fantastic holiday. Everything went smoothly and was as booked. Nada was most helpful, efficient and endlessly patient with all my ‘first time sailing’ questions. We were extremely lucky with our skipper, Filip and hostess, Petra. Their passion for Croatia enhanced and ultimately made our holiday. Petra anticipated our every need including wonderful Croatian dishes (and Mojitos! ) and Filip completely understood what we wanted out of our holiday from the start. He suggested and booked restaurants which we would never have found and ticked off all of our wishes including one last banana ride. :)
Another great week with the Captain and crew on the Ahalya 60 this time. Excellent service from Martina, great food from Marko, and great suggestions from our Captain Božo about what to do and where to go. Superb
We could not have asked for a more beautiful experience aboard the Cool Change Catamaran. The whole trip was arranged flawlessly through Secret Adriatic and Nada's responses were always quick, thorough and helpful. After hearing about our groups' interests and...
Dear Secret Adriatic, I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for what was truly an exceptional charter experience from Split to Split. From the moment we stepped aboard, everything about the experience exceeded our expectations, and so much of that was because of the incredible professionalism, care, and attention to detail of your crew. Our captain was exceptional. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. What impressed us most was the genuine effort he made to accommodate our itinerary and make the experience feel completely personalized to us. He listened carefully to what we wanted to see and do, was incredibly accurate and thoughtful in planning each day, and somehow managed to make everything feel effortless. We always felt that we were in the best possible hands. His professionalism, calm manner, attention to safety and detail, and willingness to accommodate our wishes made such a difference. He didn’t simply operate the boat — he truly made our time on the water special and memorable. And then there was our wonderful stewardess, who was absolutely extraordinary. Her warmth, kindness, sweetness, and genuine care made us feel so welcomed and looked after throughout the entire charter. She had such a loving and nurturing way about her that made the boat feel like home. And the food was nothing short of spectacular. Every meal was an incredible gastronomic experience. From the lobster and scallops to the branzino, every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. And then, somehow, she finished it all with the most wonderful Nutella crepes! Her cooking was truly one of the highlights of our trip. What made it even more special was the love and care she put into everything she prepared for us. The combination of the captain’s professionalism and precision with our stewardess’s warmth, generosity, and incredible culinary talent made this charter truly unforgettable. We have traveled extensively and have had many wonderful experiences, but this crew genuinely stood out. They were attentive without ever being intrusive, accommodating without ever making us feel like we were asking too much, and consistently kind and thoughtful throughout our entire time together. We cannot thank you enough for putting us with such a wonderful crew. We hope you know how special they are. We absolutely cannot wait to book another charter with this crew. We will also be enthusiastically recommending your company and this crew to our friends and family. It is rare to have an experience where every detail comes together so beautifully, and this was one of those experiences. Please pass along our deepest thanks and appreciation to both of them. They made our time in Croatia even more special, and we will remember this trip for a very long time. With warmest regards, Habis Family
Nada helped us complete our Croatia summer dreams! We were coming to dead ends regarding a short sailing charter (3 nights & 4 days) and finally we reached out to the right person. From the start she was quick and efficient with emails and information - exactly what you need when planning a holiday from Singapore to Croatia! Honestly cannot fault her services. She even went beyond when I was asking her other non sailing charter questions :) our charter was amazing. We had the best time! Thank you Nada.
Our week aboard Lady M sailing the Croatian coast was unforgettable\. The yacht was beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably maintained, but the real highlight was the crew\. A big thank you to Ivan, our skipper, who was professional, knowledgeable, and ensured we always felt safe while expertly selecting the best anchorages and keeping everything running smoothly\. Ema was an outstanding chef and hostess—every meal was fresh, creative, and restaurant-quality, and she made us feel at home from the moment we stepped aboard\. The entire trip was flawlessly organized by Secret Adriatic, with every detail handled seamlessly from start to finish We highly recommend Lady M, Ivan, Ema, and Secret Adriatic for a sailing holiday in Croatia. A true five star experience—we’d book again without hesitation
Thank you, journey was great and boat was exceptional nice. The only issue was the weather a bit windy than we want, but it was beyond of our control.
This is the third year Secret Adriatic have helped us charter a yacht and find a skipper and we will certainly be booking again for next year. This was absolutely the best holiday we have ever had - The yacht, Pepper, was incredible; spacious, luxurious and immaculate. The Skipper Ivan was brilliant, with great local knowledge making sure we got the most from our trip, and a perfect mix of giving us the space we wanted and being there when we needed him. A fantastic experience - we highly recommend!
Wonderful boat and an even more wonderful crew. They were amazing.

Hello Nada, yes, just got back home, it was a dream week for everyone, everything went beyond our expectations! The Boat was stunning, the crew was very professional and caring, everyone wish for their holiday to be this perfect. Thank you!
We have been booking catamaran boats with Nada at Secret Adriatic for several years and have always received immaculate service. She is always patient and professional in helping us find a suitable boat for our families needs and within budget. She is our go to person for booking a boat, skipper etc now and in the future.
It was a lovely trip and the crew were great. Thank you so much. Kind Regards
We couldn't have asked for a better skipper and hostess. Vedran and Jin made our experience one of the most memorable vacations ever! They were both very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. Jin was an amazing cook as...
Nada coordinated an amazing trip for us! Boat, skipper and the entire trip was the best. She went above and beyond helping us plan and was so helpful when we had questions once in Croatia. We highly recommend using Secret Adriatic to book your cruise!
We had a wonderful week on a yacht chartered with Secret Adriatic. Nada was very responsive and helpful with selection and route advice throughout the booking process. Yacht holidays are definitely a wonderful new experience that everyone should try, especially if it starts with a good charter and booking company.
We opted for a last-minute charter and reached out to several providers.
Nada stood out with her prompt response and genuine attention to our requirements. Within less than a day, she secured the perfect vessel that met both our criteria and budget.
Her professionalism and efficiency were truly impressive, and she remained available and supportive before and throughout the charter.
I definitely recommend them and I’m already looking forward to using their services again.
We have used Secret Adriatic a few times now and service and quality has been excellent. Recently we booked the Inrada, a Dufour 48 Catamaran, to visit the stunning Amalfi Coast. The experience was seamless with a fantastic Croatian skipper Vedran Buble, who lead us on a number or adventures and has become a very dear friend. The boat trips have become anual events and we look forward to working with Nada again next year.
