Summer 2022

We are back from our trip on Anima Maris – and I am still out of this world amazed. We had such a wonderful time!

From the moment we stepped onboard, we were welcomed by your amazing team. What a wonderful and unique experience this has been for an of us. Every member of staff protects exceptional and nothing was too much trouble from start to finish.

We have an had a fabulous time, which will be remembered for a long time to come. Thank you all.

Summer 2022

We went through the accounting with MARIO ( captain) everything was fine… he accounted for the spend and we did not have a problem with this.

The boat…. Was fantastic … the bedrooms / lounge and the top deck space was fantastic.

There were 10 guests and 9 crew and we never felt closed in or in each other’s space.

The boat was always clean and smart

The “toys “on the boat were very good.

Staff; Mario and his crew were very professional throughout the week and very smart.

From getting on the boat on the 2nd and leaving on the 9th we were made to feel special.

The staff could not do enough for you throughout the trip…. It was very obvious after a few day that the crew were very close and that teamwork was a key part of the trip…

I am struggling to find fault at this stage because they really looked after us.

11 June 2022

Captain,

We cannot thank you enough for such an amazing stay with your nautical family! The beauty of the boat was eclipsed by the outstanding service of each of you. We fell in love with Croatia yet we fell in love even more with everyone of you. As our bags are being packed, our minds are full of thoughts to return.

Until we meet again.

So much love+gratitude!

Love the Rubinsons

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

Thank you so much, Eloise

We can’t wait to come back!

The best!

Thank you for a trip of a lifetime! You made this week fantastic!

Summer 2022

Dear Captain and crew,

Words can not express how much we have enjoyed this trip. Everything about this cruise has been amazing!

The crew have made us feel so welcome and have gone above and beyond to make sure were looked after. Ivan and Grazia were the most amazing hosts – nothing were a problem and we felt like loyalty the whole time.

The captain took us on a journey into the most amazing towns and bays. Croatia is such a beautiful place! Being able to anchor in secluded bays was a real treat and the captain and crew navigated and handle the boat so expertly.

The water sports were so much fun – the kids had an absolute blast water skiing, jet skiing, sea bobing and swimming. Thanks to Bono, Steve and Andrea for looking of them.

Anima Maris is a truly special boat. The stewardess made sure our room were spotless each day and Tony was amazing. The food was truly outstanding!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

To celebrate own birthday on this beautiful boat is a dream come true and we have created so many lifelong memories.

We will be back!

Love and best wishes

DEAR ANIMA MARIS CREW,
IT IS HARD IN LIFE TO BE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO EVER BE ABLE TO BE IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO VACATION ON A BOAT SUCH AS ANIMA MARIS. HOWEVER, IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE THAT EXCEEDS ALL OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS. THIS TRIP WAS BEYOND WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. WE HOPED IT WOULD BE THIS WONDERFUL, BUT TO HAVE EACH DAY BE BETTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE HAS TRULY BEEN A DELIGHT. THE BOAT OF COURSE IS A WORK OF ART, A MIX OF MODERN YET STILL ROMANTIC. THE CABINS ARE SO SP
ACIUOS AND THE BATHROOMS AS WELL.
NOVAK´S COOKING WAS SPECTACULAR AS WELL AS ALEXANDER. ANYTHING WE WANTED DELIVERED WHICH AS WE ALL KNOW IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO. SONIA KEPT OUR CABINS AND LAUNDRY IMPECCABLE AND THE REST OF THE CREW WAS WITH US ON DECK ANY TIME WE NEEDED ANYTHING AT
ALL. THE LOADED THE WATER TOYS INTO THE SEA EVERDAY SO OUR KIDS COULD RIDE THE SEABOB FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT. THEY WATCHED CAREFULLY AS
THEY FLIPPED OFF THE TOP DECK INTO THE WATER. CAPTAIN MARIO ALWAYS FOUND US THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BAYS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PICKED THE BEST CREW. THEN WECOME TO VICTORIA WHO ALL DAY, EVERYDAY MADE SURE WE HAD ANY DRINK OR SNACK WE WANTED. LASTLY IVAN, WITHOUT HIM, SETTING THE STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE AND SERVICE, NOTHING WOULD HAVE COME TOGETHER. THANK YOU
EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR MAKING THIS UNFOTGETTABLE. WARMLY,

Oftentimes people come into our lives & bring us unexpected treasures that have such value in our minds & hearts that bring us such joy & unexpected chapters into our lives. This is what I have personally experienced on this beautiful journey to Croatia, filled with anticipation of a new experience of visiting a different country but at the same time I was somewhat fearful & uneasy about the water. However, I found myself surrounded by a group of lovely, caring people – our crew – who made me feel warm & always safe. This has been an experience that I will carry in my mind & heart forever. The special care & love that I have felt while here is beyond anything I can express but it lives in my heart.
I always knew Victoria & Evan would be looking in on me and making sure that I was well taken care of and you were so diligent in making sure I got my medicine and that I was comfortable as possible with my broken ribs. I will always remember you with love. You are truly special people in a world that needs more people like you. I will always hold you both in my heart.
For the Captain, the Chef, the boys - I can´t imagine a better group of guys to provide us with such a memorable journey. Thank you all for the love, support, enjoyment you gave me on this beautiful trip to Croatia.
