Absolutely incredible day on Nana boat with Mario. Communication before the day was great, we needed to rearrange due to weather but Mario was really accommodating and we were able to go the next day when the weather was perfect. Mario was a wonderful host all day, with great service and sense of humour. He provided us with ample delicious homemade beer, wine and sherry as well as candied almonds for snacks and a lovely three course meal with homegrown tomatoes and salads, and was able to accommodate for our gluten free member of the group. During the day we had a stop off to explore Pucisca on Brac island which was beautiful, then we had a few hours in a bay for relaxing, swimming and the boat was well stocked with a paddle board, snorkel kit and floaties. We got to sail back and all had a go at the wheel, and he gave us a delicious restaurant recommendation back in Omis! The highlight of our holiday, 100% recommend booking Nana boat with Mario!

We had a fantastic time on the boat, breakfast, BBQ lunch and fruit platter was lovely. Very friendly & helpful staff. Great stocked bar / fridge. There were 8 of us and more than enough space for everyone. Enjoyed using the Canoe, Paddle Board and Jet Ski that were on board. Would highly recommend. Maria :)

Great sailing area with numerous route options. Highly recommended: the short climb to the summit on the island of Zut. A fantastic panoramic view of the Kornati and the neighboring islands.
Tolles Segelrevier mit zahlreichen Varianten der Routenwahl. Sehr zu empfehlen: Der kleine Aufstieg zum Gipfel auf der Insel Zut. Ein fantastischer Rundblick über die Kornaten und die angrenzenden Inseln.

Great if you have inexperienced people on board. I would say that if you don't have hard-core sailors, passage plan about 20 miles a day.

Beautiful sailing area. However, the sailing conditions were not ideal during our week (rain and thunderstorms) Beautiful marinas and beautiful bays for anchoring or mooring at the buoy. Restaurant prices are not cheap, rather too expensive!
Schönes Segelgebiet. Allerdings waren in unserer Woche die Segelbedingungen nicht optimal (Regen und Gewitter) Schöne Marinas und schöne Buchten zum Ankern oder an der Boje liegen. Restaurantpreis nicht günstig, eher zu teuer!
