Unforgettable journey with an excellent captain

We rented a Lagoon 450 catamaran in July 2016. The catamaran, in very good condition and polished to a shine, was waiting for us at a small marina near Tivat. The charter company deserves special praise - the acceptance of the catamaran was quick and well-coordinated. At our request, the vessel was made available to us a few hours earlier than stipulated in the contract. We were pleased with fruits and wine as a compliment. Our skipper Mikhail (he is on the company's staff) is a true professional and a fan of his work! He has experience working as an instructor in yacht schools, but besides being excellent in technical matters, Mikhail is a well-rounded person, with a great sense of humor, very tactful, and comfortable to communicate with. During our journey, our team (at least the male part) learned the basics of sailing, and my 11-year-old son became excited about the idea of getting a license to operate vessels. On the catamaran, we sailed (it turns out that on small vessels you sail, not just go!) first towards Budva, and then headed towards Dubrovnik. It was the main point of our journey, for which we specifically obtained Croatian visas. Out of 7 nights, we only anchored for 2, the rest were in ports (Budva, Porto Montenegro, 2 nights in ACI Marina Dubrovnik, and on the last night - in our 'home' port near Tivat). It should be noted that the cost of mooring in Montenegrin ports is significantly higher than in the ports of small towns in Central Dalmatia, where we sailed last summer. Returning to the charter company, I want to highlight that their staff are doing a great job. They really strive to make the yacht vacation as comfortable and memorable as possible in a good way. And they succeed! I hope that next year we will turn to their services again.
