Anima Maris-Captain + Crew

You have created a lasting, treasured experience and memory for our family. Each person has memories that are their favorite and no person had a single bad moment. It was the crew who made that possible. Swimming, skiing, dancing – the crew kept the kids and young adults busy and worn out. Perfect for Bunny and me.

Thank you so much, Henry

Luis and family

We feel very blessed to have had you for our crew onboard the Allure E.

The week has truly been sensational on every level. Words don’t really describe the adventure we have had, you all work in a truly special part of the world.

Heartfelt thanks to you all,

Clayton & Kylie

There isn’t a better way to visit Croatia and experience each of the islands than traveling on Dalmatino. The boat was stunning. The boat crew had the best service I have ever experienced. This trip will be very hard to top.
We were directed to the best experiences on each island, food was absolutely delicious and beautiful at the same time. I would highly recommend this yacht and staff to anyone who has the opportunity to travel to Croatia!

I would give a six star as a vacation spot and a 100% satisfying rate. The staff was so helpful and so so nice.
Food was over the top in presentation, variety and was delicious. The Captain chose just a perfect route through the islands, the right amount of village time as play time. I would do this trip every year on Dalmatino!

Susan

This holiday has been one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. A very caring crew, all with kind hearts. Giving us the best hospitality ever. I’m blessed to have been on this boat where we felt safe + always full. Thank you so much allure! You the best. B

Trip of a lifetime! The boat is gorgeous, the food was amazing, the scenery & water were incredible and the staff-crew….what can I say?! You were friendly, fun, and took the many challenges of our group in stride (covid+,stomach viruses, etc.!) with a smile and a willingness to do what we needed to have an amzing week. (I mean…how many groups requested 5 full dinnera and 5 bowls of plain white rice? 😛 ) It was such a special week for us to spend with our adult children & our friends and it was made even better by the wonderful & attentive service we recived at every turn. I’m not sure we’ll manage to get the whole family over here again, but Jim & I are sure going to try! Thank you again for everything-you all work very hard and it shows and is very much appreciated! XXOO

Until next time….

From the moment I stepped on this boat I was greated with smiles & genuine care. I have never had an experience such as this where I was treated like I was special. Each and every one of you made this week memorable and I will never forget it. Matea made sure our thunderstorm of a room was always inviting and shared her last hairtie with me so I could enjoy the water. Keke made sure I always had milk with dessert before even asking and kept us all in a good mood. To the chef who gave us a personal tour of the bars so we could experience the true culture. Rocco despite us leasing hi min the beginning made sure to act professional as always. Stipe on our day to the market gave us the submarine tunnel. Last but not leats, the Captain who ensure no matter the weather there was always a plan for fun in place. Overall, I wish I couls stay with you forever and I have never had such a wonderful time. Sincerly and truly, thank you from the botton of my heart. There i san open door for any of you at my home in Los Angeles. I hope to see you again one day. SS

I have no words to explain the marvelous adventure we have sailed with Captain Tom. It has been the upmost pleasure to embark in this journey around the Adriatic Sea with such a wonderful crew. Ivana is super attentive and dedicated to fulfilling the needs of all my fellow travelers who have stepped aboard Captain Tom’s deck. The sights seen could never be converged in the slightest. The sea was magical. The food was amazing. Everyday was a delight to my mouth. We cannot wait to come back next year. Thank you to the entire crew.

Carefree and a wonderful cruise down the Adriatic
Mastercharter was the best Croatian travel agency I have dealt with in the last ten years. Ivana, Mirna and Mate are devout professionals who will tender to your every need. Ask a question and you will get an answer momentarily, if one of them is busy one of the others will respond. No detail is overlooked and everything is done to your satisfaction. They stay true to their motto which says “Everything is possible for one who believes”.

I wanted to charter a gulet for a family cruise and for my particular needs they suggested the Altair which turned out to be the perfect choice. The name Altair is derived from the bright star, aka Alpha Aquilae, which shines as the brightest star in the constellation Aquila the Eagle. It describes this gullet perfectly; it is beautiful, clean and well maintained. The crew is a family run affair; Captain Dare is a capable sailor and a wonderful host. His Dad Duje is a fantastic cook and a Captain in his own right and Dare’s sister Luce (Lucy) is a wonderful hostess and a do everything gal who will attend to your every need. Also there is Lovro, a very capable sailor who makes sure that the boat is securely tied, he will help you with all the heavy lifting, will provide you with the swimming toys once you are in the water and will watch over you while you swim.

The cruise down the Jadran (Adriatic Sea) was absolutely fantastic. We were in and out of secluded coves for swimming in the crystal clear water during the day and visited famous towns like Hvar, Korčula, Polače, Ston and others in the evening. It was a perfect combination of rest, relaxation and sightseeing.

I would like to take this opportnity to thank the crew once more for making me and my family feel like we were a part of their family and for providing us with a carefree, restfull, exciting and wonderfull experience. Special thanks goes out to my new friend Duje Junior (Dare’s son) who made our trip that much more enjoyable, this is from his new friend Brankec.

We had the Best time in Corsario, aside from the amaizing places and smooth ride, the crew was so warm, dedicated and helpfull.
Stand up padlle, water motor rides, snorkeling, biking and awesome more experiences we lived in this boat.
Thank to this boat and the crew we could had an inforgivable family time!
I hope we can come back and finish our travesy through Croatia. See you soon!!!

Global Rating: 5/5 (Excellent)

Brilliant

We travel often and far, and we have been around the world and had amazing experiences. But our vacation on the Romanca, chartered via MasterCharter, was truly unrivaled! Airline travel these days can be beyond hectic, and our vacation seemed to get off to the wrong start when the airline lost our luggage. Ivana (Mastercharter) and Andrea (owner of the Romanca) arranged a speedboat to take a passenger to get medication that had gone missing with the bags and PERSONALLY tracked our luggage down and had it hand-delivered to the boat as we were eating breakfast under sail. Additionally, a member of our party had a bicycle accident, and Marin (Romanca’s captain) was on location in minutes with the town’s doctor and sat with us through the process of going to the hospital and getting a few stitches, then offered to buy the injured person an ice cream, (because everyone knows when you get stitches, you get an ice cream). Despite our two mishaps, all 15 of our party fell madly in love with Croatia, the Adriatic, MasterCharter, and most specifically the Romanca and its crew. The Romanca is by far the prettiest wooden gullet on the Adriatic; you cannot help but share the pride of her crew as she sails into port. You can tie her up next to the largest, newest ship in any marina, and know you are the one privileged enough to call the Romanca home. Valentina and Mario knew everyone by name on the first morning and never forgot our food or drink preferences — my latte was being made before I could sit at the Romanca’s massive table. Victor is a world class chef and a true artist who goes out of his way to please everyone. He woke up in the middle of the night to feed the three of us who waited for the doctor to finish his work on our patient, and we got a beautiful steak with rice and salad, totally unexpected and above and beyond. Ivan, the first mate, went out with several of our younger “sailors” (as per our request) when they wanted to go to a club at midnight. He watched over us and protected us like family, even at the sacrifice of his night’s sleep. And Marin navigated us through it all, recommending phenomonal wineries, restaurants, and excursions on the islands. I’m not prone to write reviews, or be loquacious, but for this trip, I must! These people are so special and amazing; they find a magical way of outshining the scenery. That said, Croatia and her islands are not to be missed, their beauty is unparalleled and the experience is unmatched. Do yourself a favor, spend a week on the Romanca… just don’t book the weeks we want, we will be back!

We cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done for us. A perfect experience from start to finish…

From our family to the family crew of Dalmatino…Thank you!

KUDO’S Will never forget you all and the experience you gave us. Thank you immensely!And loved the truffles!

We could not not have loved this trip more. It was exactly what I hoped to celebrate Rich’s big birthday to celebrate with those we love most. Each and everyone of you is thoughtful, genuine and with meticulous attention to service and detail. When they told me to pick Dalmatino from the yacht company they have the best Captain & Crew they were 100% correct. Incredible in every way w/memories to last a lifetime.You have made this the trip of a lifetime! These memories will be cherished forever!

We’ve fallen in love with the Croatian coast+wish to explore more. Thank you Dalmatino…

A wonderful crew! thank you very much1 it was everything amazing! hope to see you all soon!

thank you for this vacations.

You guys are truly an amazing team. thank you for spoiling us day in & day out. You made our family holiday every memorable one. thank you

Dearest Alba and Crew! It has a week from haven. thank you for treating us like royalty and forcing us to relax with your hospitality. we appreciated and enjoyed every moment. it has been beautiful. Slatko, will never forget the food!! 

A great week in Dalmatia on “alba”!! What a brilliant way to experience the jewels of the area & the awesome villages & people of Croatia. Mirko, you head a great team in an aspects & me as a sailor… i couldn’t have a more relaxing experience.

Captain Luka was very professional and helpful, his brother Damir and the chef were excellent too. I think the Steward, Ivor was a bit out of his depth as he was really a deck hand that had stood in for a Stewardess from what we learned, and whilst he tried hard, my only recommendation would be that an experienced stewardess would have added polish to the whole drinking and dining experience.

We are all flying home after a very enjoyable 7 day cruise on Alba. It was everything we had hoped, and the crew was remarkable. We have nothing but kinds things to say, and I would charter from you again. We have friends that want to do the same charter and I will refer to you.

Dear friends, thank you for this amazing experience. Wish you the best on your wedding! Your country is a dream and you made us feel part of it and your family! Hope to come back soon! L,L & M

Najbolji kapetani i ekipa!
Hvala Duji i posadi na povijesnim trenucima, savršenoj usluzi, brizi o gostima i neizmjernoj širini znanja.

Posebne pohvale cijelom timu i kuhanu Juni, koji je svih impresionirao znanjem, gostoljubivošću i nikad boljom kuhinjom.

Hvala vam,
J. L.

Neponovljivi doživljaji sigurne plovidbe i otkrivanja mora na poseban i neponovljiv način.
Posada koja stvara jednu stvarnost, a istovremeno su potpuni profesionalci.
Kapetan koji može sve s brodom i nikada se ne odriče mora, a opet stalno unosi i planira doživljaje.
Dan kada se odlazi s broda je dan kada se jedino želite vratiti na ovaj brod.

A.

Dragi naši,

Dali ste nam svi zajedno predivno, neponovljivo iskustvo, doživljaj i uživanje.
Nema riječi s kojima bih mogla opisati kako vam je bilo, ali ću probati s jednom riječju – UŽIVANCIJA.

Hvala vam na svemu što ste nam pružili i ostali do kraja opušteni svi zajedno…

HVALA VAM

Dragi moji kolege,
najbolje iskustvo i odrađen posao koji sam odradila s vama.
Hvala Vam na lijepim trenutcima.
Najbolja ste ekipa.
Želim Vam puno sreće u životu.

To the Altair Team –

Thank you so very much for an incredible vacation! The boat & locations were off the chart!
The service – impeccable! And the food – we won’t be hungry for at least a week!

It was delicious and amazing.

Thank you for sharing the Altair with us. This time in your care will be remembered for years to come!

Love,
The R

To everyone on the Anima Maris,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this trip truly unforgettable.
The beauty of the boat and having the luxury of calling it our home this week has been one of the most spectacular experiences of my life.

The food was so delicious—my wardrobe fits slightly snugger but well worth it!

All the staff were so lovely but especially Ivan. We will miss you so much.

Everyone was so kind and patient with the three wild 5 & 6-year-olds we had with us.
From doing their hair to making “special” smoothies all day, they were certainly living the life.

Thanks for putting up with the boys’ constant e-foiling. They think they are Kelly Slater now.

You are the absolute best and will be deeply missed. We are so grateful for everything.

Love, J, T, Dan Pine

Everyone was AMAZING!
We had such a fun time…
Totally unforgettable. Huge thanks to everybody! 😊❤️

This was an incredible experience. Staff was truly professional + top notch. Anything we desired was fulfilled. Perfection.

Evan was meticulous + truly cares about his job (giving, being authentic, humble).

Victoria also was on it with whatever we wished for.

What a wonderful way to spend our time in Croatia!

A very big thank you to all of the crew for all that they did to make our week so great.

To have our family all together on your beautiful boat was amazing, and we had an absolute blast.

Thank you to the chef for always making our requests possible and very, very delicious. x

Ivan and Victoria, your attention to detail was not unnoticed, and we were very grateful for all that you did for us. x

We will remember our time together on Anima Maris fondly, always.

We truly had the best time. The boat was lovely, but the crew was awesome!!!

This past week we were thrilled to be aboard Anima Maris. For sure, it was the most perfect week at sea.

While the scenery, location, and secluded coves and charming cities we visited were all standouts, we likely remember the kindness, professionalism, and care the entire crew showed us for the entire trip.

From the captain to Viktoria and Ivan, we appreciated the best service over and looked out for 24/7! We so appreciate the entire crew’s efforts and hope to find a reason to be back.

You all again soon and to do another thankful week of endless, flawless memories.

All the best,

Dear Anima Maris Crew,

Today, Monday, August 5, 2024, marks the end of this superb cruise.

We’re happy to leave because we couldn’t go on like this:

• 50 bottles of rosé wine
• 25 bottles of red wine
• 147 cocktails (Margarita, Moscow, Gin & …)
• 2 magnum of champagne

What’s more, because of the chef, we’ve put on 3 or 4 kilos each.

Now it’s time for us to head home and get healthy again…

Thanks to the 10 crew members—and a special dedication to Viktoria and Ivan, who supported us with unfailing care.

Thanks to my wife for allowing us to experience these rare moments… ❤️

C, A, C, M, L, O

Fantastique!! ❤️

Amazing! ❤️

Waouh ! Nom d’une Pipe.
Quelle semaine !!

Anima Maris c’est gravé.
Ton look de moteur yacht à la voile tout droit d’une Agatha Christie,
Ton design d’un coupé 504 de la mer digne d’un Pininfarina,
Nous ont porté aux confins abyssales de tes îles croates, nous rappelant par moment les senteurs du maquis.

Anima Maris nous te remercions !
Bien évidemment, nous remercions d’une gratitude éternelle, nos bottes Capitaine et Brother de l’Avoriaz Clubin.

Anima Maris
La discrétion de ton équipage,
Le choix des roulages du Capitaine Haddock,
Et la bienveillance de Viktoria et d’Ivan au vieillir aux bons soins furent légendaires.

Anima Maris
Nous n’oublierons tes vins de sitôt.
C’est d’ailleurs gravé sur nos baguettes.
La Croisière s’amuse Anima Maris.

Anima Maris Crew,

We had such an amazing stay on the boat! The crew made us feel so special and took care of everything we could think of and then some! Everyone was so patient with our crazy kids, which says a lot!

The food was so delicious, the chef is so talented! Ivan took care of every detail, suggested so many great restaurants and sights to see, and generally made our stay so easy, enjoyable, and fun.

Ivan was also so knowledgeable about the history of all of the places we visited, which really added to our stay. Viktoria was so helpful and sweet with the kids.

The guys were always so professional and helpful when we were using the tender to go to town or swimming. Mario took great care of us and made sure we arrived safe and sound!

Philomena kept everything sparkling clean, always with a smile.

The crew is amazing and will always help you with anything.

There were many boys that we went with and had a great time.

The beds were very comfy, and we went to a million cute towns.

In towns, there were so many cute shops with cool stuff in them.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were amazing, and sometimes we would have dinner at a restaurant, and even that was amazing and there are nine crew members, including the captain.

The past 7 days has been an incredible experience for our family.

The crew has been fantastic, especially Ivan and Victoria, who made sure all our requests were met with a smile.

The meals have been exceptional, a very special shout-out to the chef.

To All Crew

Thank you, thank you for such an amazing experience.

Without you, our holiday would not have been the same.

The quality of the food, service, and friendly staff have been outstanding.

Thank you,

What an amazing week.

Ewan and Victoria are wonderful, looking after us, part of home.

Mario’s whole team are outstanding.

We’ll be recommending Anima Maris for years to come.

O Capitano, Moj Capitano
Čestitam to you
And your wonderful crew!

Whitney is great
But we know it is you
Who sailed us – otok to otok –
In the ocean blue.

In LA, she’s the skipper
of a little “MALO” boat
But no way she could keep the
Morning Star afloat!!

But with Tomo and Niko
and Marin too
We knew we were safe
all the way through.

Last but not least
Čestitam to Igor
Whose cuisine was the source
of the Croatian vigor.

Volimo vas is all we can say,
Our hearts full of thanks
As we shout HURRAY!!!

our stay could not have been better, thanks
to you all.

The Croatian coast will forever remain
one of the best memories of our life.

Dear Captain Thomas,

Thank you for the amazing journey for the whole journey.
It will be a special memory for all of us.

Because of you, I know a lot of Croatia.
The journey you guided us through was nothing short
of magical. Your vast knowledge of the local waters
and Croatian culture made our experience truly unique.

Your attention to detail, from the route planning to the
on-board amenities, was truly impressive.

Moreover, your friendliness and willingness to engage with
us were greatly appreciated. Your stories about local landmarks
and traditions brought the trip to life and made us
feel even more connected to the beautiful scenery of
Croatia.

Best regards,

E Su.

Thanks again for a wonderful week

Thank you to the Morning Star Captain

exploring more of your beautiful country.

Two years ago after an equally incredible
time on the Morning Star I said I

time Matthews was able to join me and
experience all I had told him about.

Thank you for the wonderful adventures,
amazing swims, incredible food and meals
and most importantly in the face of
storms – keeping us safe and happy.

We will see you again, no doubt!

than our first trip. Thank you very much to
Tomas and his fabulous crew. We have had
delicious food, we have been spoiled by all
the crew. We had variable weather, but Tomas
always had a plan – stay in one spot, then dash
to a secluded cove. His seamanship is impressive.
He never seemed to lose his cool. Marin and
Nikola, always cheerful, were on hand for all
tasks, including battening down the hatches in
a storm. Igor, as well as working in a tiny
space, helped keep us passengers calm while the others
dealt with the storm.

A fabulous trip, thank you.

Dear Captain Thomas, Nicola, Marin and Igor,

We had a wonderful week aboard the
Morning Star sailing along the Dalmatian
coast.

Thomas, thank you for being so flexible
and taking us to less touristy destinations,
which were “off the beaten track.”

Nicola, Marin – your attentiveness has
been incredible and your fun attitude made
the trip a pleasure for our children.

Chef Igor, thank you for introducing us
to the flavours of Croatia!

💕💕💕 Thank you all for your incredible hospitality.
We will cherish the memories we created
onboard and look forward to sailing
on the Morning Star in the future.

With Gratitude,

G and  families

Always happy & smiling. Lauris greeted us every day with her happy smile & amazing service.

Glorious sunny days, sailing around Croatian islands. Dreamy, romantic holiday.
I love this boat – love Pacha!!

What a treat!! This week has been one of the highlights of our lives.
We have fallen in love with your beautiful country, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to explore it from this wonderful boat.

Captain and crew have been so kind & attentive every second of the way.
We have been thoroughly spoilt with the delicious food – whilst the kids have loved all the water sports.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The “Best” Trip ever!
The beautiful Pacha Yacht is so amazing and the crew became our family for a week!
Lots of wonderful experiences and fun sports. Great meals and superb weather.

It will be so sad to leave our crew and second family as they were so accommodating & made our experience the most memorable ever.

Love you guys ❤️

Our only regret is that this all has to come to an end.
Pacha is beautiful, comfortable, and perfect for a sailing adventure in the Adriatic.
We were proud to be sailing such a magnificent vessel. The captain and his son both have contagious smiles and created a warm and inviting experience for our group. And Sarah, all charming.

Pacha was incredible but our crew made this an experience of a lifetime.
Thank you.

C & P T.

P.S. Our cook, Stefan, is a world-class chef & is personally responsible for ensuring we all will leave a bit heavier than we arrived!

Part of making memories is the beauty and great ships we develop throughout our journeys.
Thank you, Captain Gion, Mate, Sara, and Stefan, for all that you did to make this a trip of a lifetime!!

Gion, thank you for caring for our safety & for your incredible personality.

We wish you all great success, good health & lots of love.

A fantastic week, on a lovely boat, in a stunning country.
The first trip to Croatia for us all, and we have fallen in love.

Thank you so much to a wonderful crew who have made it so memorable.
How can it have been so relaxing, yet each day seeming to pass in the blink of an eye.

Thank you so much.
