What Our Guests Say

★★★★★
“Our group of 6 had a once in a lifetime experience with a private cruise we booked with Royal Dalmatia Yachting. We stopped at different islands to swim, explore and had an incredible lunch at an authentic Croatian restaurant where the fish we had for lunch had just been caught!”
Karen
★★★★★
“Royal Dalmatia was excellent in customer service and coordination of our boat trip from Split to Hvar and the surrounding islands. They also coordinated an amazing, authentic cooking class! My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience.”
Kendall
★★★★★
“If you want an authentic ‘yachting standard’ personalised service look no further. Great communication, transparent pricing, and genuinely experienced crew who know what their clients want and deliver it with a smile. Boat was spotless.”
