“We really like to thank you all for making this Croatian journey one to remember for life.
The boat is really well designed, the rooms have excellent size and amenities, more than what we’ve expected. All areas of the boat are spacious and allowed our family of 13 members to get together all the time, but at the same time, we could have areas for privacy.
The boat is in excellent condition and the crew was extremely respectful and joyful, with an attitude towards service that we all enjoyed.
Be sure that we will meet you in the years to come!”

RARA AVIS + CREW...
The worst part about the trip is leaving! Its even difficult to write in this book.
Words on paper cant describe the feelings we have for Rara. Thank you for making our second time around even more special and memorable as first. I wish you all could come to my house so I could show you the same love and hospitality you have show to us! You take us to the most incredible journey. Captain goes above and beyond to put us in places that make our hearts skip a beat. Other memorable moments are
–“Kiki, do you love me” LOL, and how he kicks our childrens asses at FIFA.
“Matea” always there when I need her and for the “Bis” keeping us so clean.
“Steve” the spider monkey. How do you jump rocks like that? Are you a beast?
“Captain” – a million thank yous are not enough. You always make us feel safe. God bless you and your family.
“Marco” you have spoiled us. I don’t want to go home and cook. We love you all!!!
