Perfect for families — flexible, friendly, beautiful

We were four adults and two children (ages eight and eleven) making the Hvar-to-Korčula crossing. The private boat was the right choice in every way for a family. The skipper was endlessly patient with the kids, letting them help hold the wheel on open stretches of water, and found a swimming stop in a bay that the children declared was the best swimming of the whole holiday (high praise — we had also been to Brač). The journey itself is beautiful and varied — open sea gives way to the sheltered Korčula channel, with the Pelješac mountains reflected in the still water. Korčula old town, approached from the sea, is one of the most dramatic arrivals anywhere in Europe. Brilliant day, brilliant skipper, brilliant memories. Already planning our return.
