“The booking process for this course was very easy and we had a lot of helpful information from Clara about the course. On arrival we were met by very friendly reception staff and they had catered for one of our party dietary requirements by making up an entire box of gluten free food for the 5 days ahead. We did our competent crew qualification with Sunsail and although it was a very tiring week, we had a great time and Tadek was a great instructor, very patient and explained things very well. He was also great company and took the time to make our week a memorable experience and we would happily sail with him again. We would do another course with him again.”

“Lovely week on Sunsail’s Hvar flotilla sailing around the islands just off the coast of Split. Very well looked after by the crew on our lead boat, thank you!”

“My partner and I went on a Hvar flotilla with Sunsail in May 2026 – our first sailing trip as newly qualified day skippers. We weren’t sure how ‘fun’ the trip would be – thinking we might instead use it as a half way step to doing a bareboat charter with friends another time. In the end, we got so much out of the flotilla that we’d definitely consider doing the same again.”

“The main benefit for us was that the the flotilla lead crew took away a lot of the planning/research we might have had to do on bareboat – helping with an itinerary for the week, explaining weather conditions, making recommendations for anchorages & hidden gems, and insisting on calling ahead to make bookings on our behalf.”

“This lowered our mental workload massively and meant we could enjoy the actual sailing more. And have now figured out how to crew a boat two-handed!”

“Aside from loving the sailing, we had a blast with all the social activities (all the other.. erm.. customers were lovely), enjoyed great group meals, and would recommend a flotilla to anyone thinking of giving it a go.”

“Massive thanks to our flotilla crew, who made our trip fun, comfortable and memorable – we had no fewer than SIX crew with us, due to training some new hands. Shout out to Finn, India, Ben, Harry, Cerys and Lois, superstars every one xxx”

“We had an absolutely amazing week with the Sunsail team made up of Finn, India, Loïs, Cerys, Harry, and Ben.”

“This was my very first experience as a skipper, and it felt so comfortable thanks to such a fantastic crew on board Khaleesi, together with my stepfather Hervé and my girlfriend Julie-Ann.”

“A huge thank you to Finn for his always clear guidance during docking and mooring manoeuvres 🙏
Special thanks as well to India and Cerys for all the daily organization and support, and to Loïs, Harry, and Ben for the technical assistance and all the help throughout the week.”

“I truly enjoyed every moment of this experience, and I’m already looking into booking another trip with Sunsail probably a flotilla in Greece next time.”

“Thank you all so much for everything!”

“Victor”

“What an experience to sail in the beautiful British Virgin Islands on a 45 foot Sunsail Catamaran! I cannot begin to captivate the beautiful aqua waters, the white sand beaches and the lovely fish/coral we saw snorkelling the BVI’s. Exploring the rocks of “the Baths”, snorkelling over the Rhone ship wreck, dinner at Saba Rock, beautiful schools of yellow fish at Prickley Pear, exploring Anegada Island on mokes, secluded white sand beach in White Bay on Guana Island, the isolation of Sand Spit and drinks at Pirate’s Bight Restaurant were some of the highlights of the trip.”
