Toni & Maggie,

Thank you both for a wonderful week on Sisters. You both looked after us all so, so well. The days were spent exactly as we wanted – secluded bays; swimming; hikes to the monastery on Brač; the military tunnels on Vis; Stiniva beach on Vis – all wonderful. All activities (and inactivity!) fuelled by Maggie's fabulous cooking – truly exceptional Croatian cooking at its finest. You looked after us all so well and ensured a wonderful family holiday.

HVALA, HVALA, HVALA or as we say in Irish, míle buíochas.

We simply couldn't have asked for a better week with our family – you took such good care of us, nothing was a problem, and the attention to detail and amazing food all added to the enjoyment of our time onboard – thank you both so very much!

To Tony and Maggie,

You have given us the most amazing week as a family on your boat. Tony, thank you so much for getting us everywhere safely and telling us all about the history of the islands and especially for taking all our money in poker! Maggie, you are one of the kindest people and the greatest chef we have gotten to experience and in particular for the adaption to no gluten. I am so grateful.

We cannot thank you enough for providing us with the most special week. We so appreciate you jumping in to host us! We loved learning all about Croatia ~ the foods, the culture, the history and its people. We will always remember our very own personal concert from the boat beside us! This week was the perfect getaway for our family – a blend of activity + relaxing! Your wisdom, warmth and sense of humor made it a trip we will always treasure! What a gift it was to spend this week together with you & your beautiful boat! ♡

Layla & Tony,

Where to begin? ... This has been an adventure far beyond anything we could have imagined! Every day was a new surprise...a new magical cove – beautiful port side town – incredible meals. It has been a trip with a lifetime of memories for our family. Tony, as a boater, I can truly say you are a very good skipper! – with great skill and knowledge and always happy to share! Layla, your food consistently was better than some of the best restaurants in Dalmatia! Together, you present an amazing team that works so well. We feel like we arrived for our charter, were embraced like family, and part ways as friends! We can't wait to return!

— Kristen, Neal, Julia & Alex Darcy

— Cheers to the best boat in Dalmatia!

Dear Toni and Layla,

We all agree sailing with The Sisters was our best family vacation EVER! We had an amazing time with you all. You are the best hosts we could have ever asked for.

Toni is a great boat skipper, putting so much care and effort into finding the most idyllic private spots to anchor for incredible views and swimming. You always made sure we were having a great experience, including setting up all the water equipment, as well as organizing movie nights for us four times – once to watch Croatia win their World Cup match. You are also fantastic on the grill, cooking both fish and meat. We loved the grilled sea bass you made for dinner – the best fish meal we have ever had!

Even on a trip with great sailing, Layla, you are an amazing cook! Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was honestly better than any restaurant. You prepared a huge range of dishes, each with a local and personal connection. Every bite was better than the last! You need to write a cookbook! Not only was the food delicious, but it was also presented with love – both in its beautiful presentation and in how you described each dish's ingredients and connection to Croatian culture.

Thank you for giving our family such a special week in Croatia and the islands! We loved exploring the beautiful ports and peaceful bays, playing with all the water toys, and our cozy movie nights together. The incredible home-cooked food was outstanding - every meal was delicious and made with so much care! Our Captain and hostess made every day feel easy, fun and memorable. We will always treasure the adventure and the wonderful memories we made aboard – and the amazing drone footage is the perfect way to remember it all!

Dear Lela and Toni,

Thank you both, a thousand times over, for a week sailing with you in your beautiful catamaran. We knew it would be an amazing week, but we truly didn't know it would be THIS amazing. You are the consummate hosts – warm, kind, attentive, skilled, and simply the perfect people to show us the magic of the islands of Croatia. Toni, we felt so comfortable and safe with you as our captain. Thank you for your knowledge & expertise, both on the catamaran & of the area – nothing can compare to having a captain who grew up here, doing this, and is truly a steward of the sea. As I told you, I grew up on boats with my family, and your skill and ease on the water reminds me of my own dear father; he would be so thrilled to know we were here doing this with you & Lela. Our celebration of my dad's 50th birthday on a catamaran in 1993 inspired this week celebrating my own 50th – we could not be happier with how it turned out. Thank you for finding the perfect itinerary, the most beautiful little bays for swimming & paddling, & the most charming, picturesque villages. Putting out paddleboards + the raft + snorkeling equipment each day, showing the boys spearfishing, letting Ben help drop the sail – these are lifelong memories we will carry forever. Lela, thank you for taking such good care of us! From our delicious morning coffees to the most delicious, perfectly cooked, absolutely outstanding meals, to afternoon fruit snacks and nighttime popcorn — it was all so wonderful. You made us all feel so cared for and so welcome, and we are so very grateful for all of the energy & care you put into making this a delightful week for all of us. More than once we heard the boys exclaim, "This is the best _______ ever!" You truly made this week a vacation for all of us, and I know that entails a great deal of work & planning on your part. Thank you.

We are already hatching a plan for how to come back. ☺ We can't wait. And if you ever find yourselves in Colorado, we would love to see you! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

All our best,
Caroline, Jim, Noah + Ben

Two years ago, we sailed on THE MARLA for what we called the trip of a LIFETIME. This year, we asked Oliver where he wanted to go for summer vacation and without hesitation he said, "Oh, to Croatia to see the sisters and THE SISTERS & Toni & Magdalena". So here we are – new boat, but just as magical as before. Same delicious food, same crystal clear water & endless swims, same breathtaking islands, & best of all, same wonderful family. This trip ended up different than we had originally planned. While we missed our family who could not travel, we CHERISHED the week with Marla + Margarita. What began as the trip of a lifetime has become two trips of a lifetime – & hopefully, the beginning of a tradition! Thank you all for ANOTHER unforgettable week & more memories to last a lifetime. Until next time & with all our love for a lasting friendship,

Toni & Magdalena,

For years, we've wanted to do a trip like this. We thought we knew what it would be like, but we were wrong. It was so much better!

Magdalena's cooking made us feel like we were eating home cooked meals. Every meal was better than the ones we ate at restaurants. 

Toni's skill on the water and in the water were very apparent. You kept us safe and comfortable and we felt confident we were in good hands.

We thought we were going to sail the Dalmatian coast…and we did. We didn't expect how much we would enjoy the hospitality you both displayed. Both of you made a bucketlist vacation our family's favorite ever vacation! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best!

Toni and Magdalena,

To be in your company for a week was a pleasure! You both welcomed us on board and made us comfortable from Day 1. We really are grateful to you for sharing authentic Croatian dishes and recipes with us with a genuine smile. Toni, I (Franco) especially appreciated you sharing your family's history in the area, oldtime experiences growing up and knowledge around sailing and the Dalmatian coast.

A genuine thank you,

Thank you so much for such unforgettable days in Catamaran "Sisters". Getting to know such a beautiful place in Croatia, a little of its gastronomy and culture has been enriching. You have fed this first experience with many details that we will always remember with love and a lot of gratitude.

Rey, Cielo, Luisa, Dan, Ricky, Sydney and Everton.

Toni & Maggie & Leyla,

It was an immense pleasure to spend this week with you! We will keep you in our hearts and minds forever and keep hoping to see you again!

With love Cielo & Rey + Luisa, Dan, Ricky, Sidney & Everton

Toni and Magdalena,

Thank you for giving our family such an unforgettable first trip to Croatia. Coming into the week, I was a little nervous about spending seven days on a boat with three kids - especially with Everton being just 4 years old - but it turned out to be one of the most amazing family experiences we've ever had.

Sidney absolutely loved being the "co captain", Everton adored calling out for Layla and Ricky had the time of his life on the Seabob. Every day brought a new adventure, beautiful places, amazing food cooked by Maggie, and memories we will talk about for years.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of the seven of us. Our first time in Croatia and our first ever catamaran adventure could not have been better.

We are leaving with full hearts, incredible memories and a happy family. We can't wait to see you again. 

With love and gratitude

Dear Toni & Magdalena,

Its hard to put into words just how special this past week has been. From the moment we stepped aboard Sisters, you made the five of us feel completely at home, and somehow turned an already special trip into something more magical than we ever could have imagined.

Toni, you are truly one with the sea. Sailing with you, discovering hidden coves, sleepy towns, and little corners of the Adriatic we never would have found on our own was such an incredible experience. We always felt completely safe in your hands, and it was so special getting to experience this beautiful place through someone, our captain, who knows and loves the sea, his boat, and country the way you do.

Lady Lela, your warmth and kindness makes Sisters feel like a home away from home. You kept our hearts + bellies full from morning to night, and every meal was somehow better than the last. More than anything, it was the care you put into everything that made us feel so welcomed, loved and able to completely relax, slow down, and be fully present with each other. You are a special soul and we loved every moment with you.

This trip was meant to be a bachelorette party before my wedding, but it became so much more. Five sisters, together on Sisters, sailing through Croatia with the two of you—it could not have been more perfect. We laughed endlessly, swam in the most beautiful water, ate incredible food, and had the kind of days you wish you can bottle up and keep forever. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us and for giving us a week we will be talking about for the rest of our lives. We are leaving Sisters with very full hearts + memories that will last a lifetime. You will always be a special part of this chapter for us.

With all our love + gratitude, The Five Sisters, Kathryn, Ali, Kaylin, Jess + Grace 🤍

Dear Toni & Magdalena -

Thank you so much for such a magical week! We knew this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip - but none of us expected a trip this special. From private cove swims to cave exploration to delicious Croatian meals, this week on Sisters exceeded all of our imaginations. Toni, thank you for finding the best swimming + sleeping spots, navigating the boat at early hours to get us to the next destination, and even setting up the movie screen twice! Magdalena, your cooking expertise was truly a trip highlight for us all. We were in awe of every single meal you put on the table! Thank you for sharing your culture with us through delicious meals. We all couldn't be more grateful for your hospitality. Having a chance to unplug and relax together as a family meant everything to us. Since we're all spread out across the U.S., this uninterrupted time was so precious! We can't thank you enough!!!!

Dear Toni & Maggie...

Thank y'all soooo much for such an incredible week! It was such a magical experience with a ton of memories we will never forget. From jumping off the battleship garage, to beautiful swimming coves, private boat taxi rides, movies under the stars, it was all unreal. I think this was the best week of meals I've had in my life thanks to your cooking Maggie, it was sooooooo yummy. Thank y'all for the incredible hospitality and wonderful time. Will miss you!! Y'all are such a great team. - Jake Harrison ☺️

Toni + Lela,

For most of us, this was our first vacation trip on a chartered sailboat. As high as our daydream expectations were for this trip we've been planning for over a year, you have exceeded them.

Stepping onto Sisters, our only knowledge of Croatia came from the stories relayed by friends who've visited in the past, but this once-in-a-lifetime trip with friends brought those postcard fantasies to life.

It felt like we were exploring uninhabited coves + inviting harbor towns while traveling on a floating five-star hotel. Lela, your meals + endless efforts to check whether we needed another cappuccino have spoiled us forever. We ate in some wonderful restaurants at various stops in Korcula, Brač, etc., and yet none of those meals compared to the astonishing spreads you prepared every morning + lunchtime.

And Toni, it was evident right away that we had the best captain with insider information on the best spots to anchor, away from the other boats, searching to anchor in the most scenic, welcoming harbors that you had already claimed for your American guests.

We can't thank you both enough for your countless, kind efforts to make us feel comfortable + safe as we explored the beauty of Croatia and its islands. We will be daydreaming about our week aboard Sisters for years to come!

Dear Toni & Maggielela,

It was our total pleasure to be with you for the week! It felt as though we were honored guests in your lovely floating home. When Michael said he wanted to do this to celebrate his 50th bday (old man!), I was a little skeptical, but as you saw, the next trip is already penciled on the calendar! Each detail was beautifully planned, and all needs tended to with warmth and professionality. Each stop brought new wonders, and each meal was a total treat. The list of what we loved about this trip is long (spearfishing, swimming in turquoise water, hikes, the monastery, olive orchards, gelato (then seconds!), MMA fights ☺️, and so much more!), but our best treasure is getting to know you two. Hopefully, many more memories to come! God bless you and your families ~

Michael & Anna
