Great location, very comfortable but poorly maintained boat
This area of Croatia is great for sailing: a lot of islands and bays, but also very nice villages and very equipped marinas. Trogir has a very nice marina and the magnificent old town is 5 minute walking distance.
For us the pity was the poor maintenance status of the boat and quite poor service of the charter company.
Check in was quite basic: I had to ask life vest for kids, enough plates and glasses and pans for 8, some connections for the water hose, some small ropes for fixing the paddles. All things I would have expected to be prepared in advance.
The boat had quite some water (2-3 buckets) undertaker the floor that I had to dry myself (that's where you can do lots of stowage) and I also had to inflate the dinghy. I discovered after few days that there was no toolbox on board.
During the cruise the water pump broke twice forcing ius to 2 1-day stops at a Marina for repairs.
I also complained that the windlass was not working properly (very slow and blowing the safety switch every 15m of chain), but they asked someone to check and I was told I had to deal with it!
The check out was done without any check - showing why the status of the boat was so poor.
Regarding sailing destinations I suggest to get to Lastovo, very nice island, and to profit of the multiple restaurants that you find in most of the bays.
I would recommend Marenauta to collect feedback on the charter companies and let these ratings appear.
Tutto perfetto, il locatore eccezionale. Lo Consiglio.

Per chi ama la vela zona spettacolare
Direi ottimo ..... penso di ritornarci molto presto...spiagge e paesi molto belli accoglienti ..per chi ama navigare a vela nelle ore pomeridiane non manca mai il vento ...
Terza volta a Spalato, prima volta con questo armatore.
Barca perfetta, solo qualche problema iniziale con il verricello dell'ancora ma una volta capito come fare tutto è andato bene. Settimana ottima dal punto di vista meteo.
Il solito problema del marina ACI Split: zero parcheggio e spazi strettissimi di manovra.

Eolie islands are fantastic. Marenauta made it possible. I even received a free last minute upgrade; 3 fts longer sailboat and 2019 instead of 2016.
