My wife and I were looking for a very special way to host our 60th birthdays with our closest friends. A private yacht vacation has been on my bucket list. After much research, I felt that Goolets was the firm to help with the charter and since we have not been to Croatia (including our friends) - this was the perfect destination.
Our first contact at Goolets was with Simon Finc. He took the time to explain the process and options. His knowledge and engagement really made us comfortable that we were making a great choice. Simon helped us ultimately decide on a sailing yacht and we ultimately booked the San LiMi.
When it came time to plan the details of this adventure, Simon introduced us to Blaz Fegus. Similar to Simon, Blaz was very knowledgeable and helped us plan the route, venues on land during the sail, as well as food and beverage preferences. We also spent 5 days in Dubrovnik after the cruise where Simon went above and beyond to help us with hotels and tours!
With that said, the private yacht cruise exceeded our expectations as well as our guest's expectations. The crew on the San LiMi included Marc (captain), Josep (chef), Kristina (stewardess), Tino (deck master), and Spiro (engineer). They were extremely professional, friendly, incredibly attentive and truly fun to be with! The food and service were second to none!
We are already looking forward to our next adventure with Goolets.

We booked a great sailing trip on Gulet Aurum from Dubrovnik to Trogir ( Split). Created our own itinerary ( with input from both the charterer agent Blaž Fagus from Goolets and Captain Ante) and selected/ordered our own libations to our own preferences. It all added to a fantastic and memorable trip. However what made everything above and beyond our expectations was the food made by the Chef Darko. For 7 days we had a dining experience worth Michelin stars. ( by the way, these comments are no exaggeration because we started and ended the trip at the Dalmatian coasts two Michelin star restaurants ( 360 and Pelegrini). Great trip, great boat, great crew…..great service all around.

Perfect staff who would go out of their way to please us, every minute. Delicious food thanks to our wonderful chef. And of course our captain who took us through the most amazing routes.
And we don't want to forget our liaison organizer who helped us all the way, every step, so smoothly.
Every person of our group, including the children, had a great time and would repeat the experience in a heartbeat.

A week on a Turkish gulet will be the best vacation you ever take. And the Bodrum Queen is especially nice. The staff is fun, ever anticipating your needs, and kind. The cook is a master of Mediterranean food.

For the 36th year, we have chartered on the Turkish Coast. We know it inside out….but a great boat and a capable, friendly and professional crew make all the difference! The crew on this and last year’s crew were the best ever- capable, polite, always perfectly dressed, and most importantly for these charters in Turkey, at least one crewmember spoke perfect English! The food was fabulous and varied. We discovered new places. And, the captain understood that we wanted our peace and quiet- no busy bays or ports, just beautiful anchoring spots with beautiful swimming.

This is one of the most professional groups I have ever experienced, much less, traveled with. Their responsiveness and commitment to service was unparalleled. The yacht we chartered was gorgeous and the crew outstanding. I can't say enough about how amazing our experience was.

CROATIA at it's BEST .We sailed around the Adriatic Coast with our Captain Ante and his righthand man Marko . They took us to places you couldn't even get to with a car. The Islands were magical . Highly recommend Nevijana, the crew were a pleasure to deal with. We sailed for 7 nights around the Islands of Croatia, WOW what an experience that was, cant wait to do it again in a few more years time .

We utilized Goolets to Book and Plan our Yacht Charter onboard the Alfa Mario, to cruise the Croatian Coast. Our group of 32 adults could not have been happier with the professionalism and detail that Miha at Goolets provided. The Alfa Mario Captain and Crew, were without a doubt, the best in the business, and Miha at Goolets helped us secure and enjoy this exceptional charter. I highly recommend Goolets for any charter on the Dalmation Coast that you may be interested in. We were 32 very pleased customers.

We had a really great week on Alfa Mario - a super nice ship with very comfortable and spacy cabins. The crew was providing great service, was very nice and engaged - also with the small children. Food and wine was high level, much appreciated by all and professionally served - also including the bar-tendering - even late night.
The Cruise manager Ivona did a great job and also supported me in coordinating the activities I had planned. She also arranged a really good restaurant the last day in Dubrovnik.
I hope to come back on Alfa Mario and also thanks to Goolets for your service and good cooperation in arranging the cruise
Please forward my thanks to the crew and Ivona.

How do you review the perfect trip! In working with Blaz at Goolets, we had a great experience throughout. Then we boarded the Andi Starr and were unprepared for how much fun and relaxation a gulet cruise provided. The crew was incredible, Captain Kruno, Vedo (our amazing purser), Luca (incredible young chef), and Evan the able assistant. Our boat held 10 (all couples) in 5 cabins and was the perfect fit. There were ideal spots for lounging, whether you wanted sun or not. And the azure blue waters were a delight to swim in. Before setting out, we discussed our itinerary with the Captain and made modifications when easterly winds took us off course. By the end of the trip, the crew was like family....all of us would jump at a second trip on the Andi Starr!

I had the most incredible experience on our week-long Croatia yacht charter onboard the Ohana. From the moment we set sail, it was clear that this trip would be nothing short of extraordinary for our group of 29 friends and family. The stunning Dalmatian Coast provided a breathtaking backdrop for our adventure.
The booking and planning process with Goolets was seamless and our contact, Blaž, helped us plan all of the details of our trip. While we planned out many details in advance, we also learned that one could just as easily shown up and and let Captain Josip and crew ensure a wonderful week.
The yacht itself was luxurious and well-appointed, offering every comfort we could have asked for. The crew was not only highly skilled but also incredibly accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed at all times. Their knowledge of the local area added a special touch for us as first time visitors to Croatia, as they guided us from Dubrovnik to Split.
Every day brought a new adventure, whether it was exploring secluded coves, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or enjoying the historical Croatian towns. Ohana was equipped with the latest and greatest water toys available for our use. The cuisine onboard was exceptional, featuring fresh, local ingredients and expertly prepared dishes that delighted our taste buds.
While we kept very busy exploring the towns and villages along the route, there was plenty of time for relaxation. Watching sunsets from the deck, laughing around the dining table, and lounging around the numerous decks of Ohana were moments of pure joy and made for lasting memories.
The Ohana yacht charter in Croatia exceeded all expectations, providing an unforgettable experience that none of us will ever forget. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, adventure, and unforgettable moments with friends and family. It was a week of pure magic and truly the trip of a lifetime!

A Luxurious Seafaring Escape Beyond Expectations!
I recently had the privilege of embarking on an unforgettable yachting adventure with Bella/Goolets, and I must say, it was an experience that truly redefined luxury and relaxation on the open waters.
From the moment I stepped on board their meticulously maintained yacht, I was greeted by a crew that exuded warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for providing an exceptional maritime journey. The attention to detail was remarkable – from the elegantly designed interiors to the array of amenities that catered to every conceivable comfort.
The voyage itself was a symphony of indulgence. Cruising along the cerulean waters, the panoramic views were nothing short of breathtaking. It felt as though every passing moment was carefully orchestrated to create an immersive escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.
One aspect that truly stood out was the culinary experience. The onboard chef's creations were nothing less than a culinary masterpiece. Each meal was a delightful journey of flavors, made even more enchanting by the backdrop of the ever-changing sea and sky. The crew's dedication to accommodating our dietary preferences was both impressive and heartwarming.
Also, Andela always went above and beyond! She is so pleasant to work with.
Moreover, Bella/Goolets didn't just offer a cruise in Croatian waters; they provided a curated itinerary that ensured we explored hidden coves, vibrant coastal towns, and picturesque islands. The captain's knowledge of the region's secret gems added an extra layer of excitement to the journey, and I felt like I was uncovering the Adriatic's best-kept secrets.
The yacht itself was a paragon of opulence, boasting spacious cabins that melded comfort and style flawlessly. The attention to privacy was appreciated, allowing for moments of solitude amidst the camaraderie of the group. The sundeck, complete with a jacuzzi and plush loungers, quickly became a favorite spot to unwind and soak in the sunsets that painted the horizon with a mesmerizing palette of colors.
What truly sets Bella apart is their commitment to guest satisfaction. Every request, no matter how small, was met with a smile and a determination to exceed expectations. It's clear that this company is not just in the business of yacht charters; they're in the business of crafting memories that will linger for a lifetime.
In closing, my experience was nothing short of magical. If you're seeking a yacht charter that seamlessly blends luxury, adventure, and unparalleled service, look no further. Bella's/Goolets dedication to creating an enchanting maritime getaway is second to none. Thank you, Bella Crew & Goolets, for an extraordinary journey that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Fair winds and smooth seas,
Joe
A Grateful and Relaxed Voyager :)

I strongly recommend this company. From the date of selecting the boat to the day we sailed, we had a smooth and easy experience. I know that it can be scary considering the budget involve in such booking (with all the fake advertisments...), and I have done deep research on them before booking, but it is a great company and we had a wonderful experience. The communications are clear and rapide (via e-mail & whatsapp). the private self-booking experience to fill information about the group makes your life easy. Do not worry about last minute changes or delays, the Goolets team is always there to support and accommodate. The overall experience was excellent. We have visited beautiful villages and cities. The crew on the boat was super nice and very discret when required. Visit and cruise will be adjusted on daily basis based on weather situation, so you need to speak with captain. Thank you to Blaz and Goolets team.
