Recent Testimonials for Radek
September, 2024 - Toni Blue, ItalyI must admit that this was our best charter so far. The crew was perfect—modest and provided excellent service. The captain, who does this out of passion, approached everything with great care. We’re tentatively planning to return next year.
Thank you very much for the perfect organization!
August, 2024 - Jaz, GreeceI wanted to send a message of thanks for putting us on JAZ these past 10 days. The yacht was lovely and immaculate and we appreciated the calm and simple yet elegant décor. But we most valued the professionalism and care of an exceptional crew. They were focused, attentive and kind and the care they provided throughout was first class.
The anchorages the Captain chose were all essentially perfect as well as recommendations on land. It was more professionally operated with a high quality of consistency than any other yacht we have chartered to date, which is saying something. So thank you again.
If you don’t mind, I’d like you to forward this to the owners so that they know the kind of quality and professionalism we experienced on JAZ.
July, 2024 - Itoto, GreeceHi Radek,
We had a wonderful time in the Ionian Sea with the crew of the ITOTO. The boat was superb, spacious, very comfortable, elegant, and full of water toys that the family loved.
The cuisine was delicious and simple, just the way we like it. Kudos to the chef and also to the Captain who made us a delicious pasta dish. Babis and his team were very attentive and kind, just like the entire crew. And Captain Nickos is adorable; I had an extraordinary fishing trip with him, his itinerary advice was always very sound, and he is extremely friendly.
In short, a happy week for our family. Bravo and thank you.

July, 2024 - Aurum Sky, CroatiaHi Radek,
We had a truly wonderful time! Here is my feedback:
Booking process - I really enjoyed working with you. You were very responsive, very personable, communications felt very professional and personable and easy. Thank you for this - it worked super well for us.
And the Aurum Sky! We LOVED our time on the boat. The boat is beautiful / very new, spotless, well looked after, well organised and equipped. Jere was excellent - and I love the fact it is his own boat - it felt so personal and gave me so much more confidence too... I felt that he takes safety very seriously and that is really important to us.. (was reading about the accident in Sardinia). So we felt super safe and comfortable in his hands. He is an excellent captain, he made great recommendations for the itinerary and also we loved Roki’s which he booked on Vis, and all the beautiful towns and bays he took us to. He was great to spend time with and very professional and we really liked him very much. His crew were all excellent and looked after us extremely well. We had amazing meals - his chef is excellent.
We had a truly wonderful experience…We really loved Croatia too…Thank you SO much for all

January, 2024 - Colibri, British Virgin IslandsGood evening Radek,
Best wishes for the new year! We have returned, but not without issues due to flight problems! However, the cruise was the best we have ever experienced, by far!
The boat was impeccable at all times: cleanliness, organization, maintenance, and impeccable service.. even better, there was a real, caring harmony among the crew members, and a shared desire to please and excel. We ate very well! Kristiann is a wonderful hostess who cooks splendidly and fully satisfied us without having to check every meal with her in advance. She also accompanied us on some very beautiful and safe snorkeling dives and made the girls feel confident.
Graham is a thoughtful captain, who always found superb spots, adapted to our desires and needs, and always with the same care, ensuring our safety and comfort: the jacuzzi was always full and warm, we were always on time: he masters his sailing and motor navigation times. He participates and contributes to the life of the boat and is as skilled at the wonderful onboard Barbecue as he is at scuba diving.
Stacy is vibrant, always smiling, always approachable, extremely helpful (not a beach towel was drying on the boat, always picked up, rewashed, rooms made up during breakfast, attentive and approachable service) but more importantly, she is an incredible diving master who convinced me to scuba dive for the first time in my life, and not just once! … I, who a year ago would not put my head underwater.
An incredible experience! In short… even though we couldn't translate all these things into English in their guestbook… we couldn't have dreamed of a better crew on this beautiful boat, and having chartered it 3 times, it really makes all the difference! The girls have begged us to hire them if we buy a boat, but I suppose it's already theirs! In short… We would go back on a cruise with them with our eyes closed and are looking forward to it!
