Spending four days on a boat was a great experience for my family and me.
Our host Skender was so kind and friendly, and always at our disposal for whatever we needed. The small islands we visited were breathtaking and eco-friendly and the scenery and landscapes during the whole tour were magnificent and picturesque.
Also, special thanks to Adnan for all the delicious food he prepared for us.We hope that we will enjoy the same tour again.
We had an amazing time with Funky Tours sailing in Croatia. They took us to wonderful places off the main tourist track and shared their passion and knowledge with us.
We spent a long time researching different operators and loved the fact that Funky Tours offered a shorter sailing experience. We can’t recommend them highly enough.
We had a wonderful 4 day sailing tour with our family on a catamaran around the Kornati Islands in Croatia. Very relaxing, beautiful islands, scenic harbours and excellent food.
Thanks Skender for this amazing trip!
Incredible service received from Ema and crew at Funky Tours.
My two boys (15 and 12) and I, booked on their Catamaran for three nights, touring around Kornati and Krka national parks, stopping at some fantastic destinations along the way.
The trip couldn’t have been organised better, the food was superb and the local insights charmed us.
If you want to experience the beautiful country of Croatia in a unique way, choose Funky Tours 👌🇭🇷♥️
