    12 months ago we decided to charter a boat and experience some of the wonderful islands of Croatia with good friends of ours. I had never chartered a boat or for that matter been on a boat trip so this was foreign territory for me. As I started the long process of doing my homework so many reviews kept referring to this lady called Sasha King. I knew at this point I had to make the connection with Sasha and can I say from that point 8 months ago I have not looked back.

    Sasha was so professional from day one. Her first priority was to hear our requirements of what we were looking for and then to start recommending what might be the best vessel option for us. I distinctly remember Sasha saying "Louise you have to look at Navilux, she is by far the best sailing boat on the Adriatic". I took one look and knew it was our dream boat, but I did my due diligence and also asked for some other alternatives. I kept coming back to Navilux for so many reasons; the award winning chef, the reputation of the family owned boat and local crew, the outdoor space, the stunning interior and the positive reviews I continued to find online about everything to do with Navilux.
    We have just returned from a week sailing with Navilux with some of our closest friends and can I say all of us were completely blown away by the experience. From the minute we boarded the boat in Split we knew we were in for a fantastic week. The staff were so attentive to every need and completely exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Chief Hostess Ivana, and Captain Eugene and their team on the vessel are the most professional team and work very closely with the clients requirements. The dining experience on board was to the level of any A la cart restaurant I have experienced with fresh wonderful produce that suited our needs. Chef Z was also so kind to include my teenagers favourite meals of pancakes at breakfast and spaghetti bolognese at the drop of a hat upon their request! Tony who is the Host on Navilux looked after our food and beverage requirements day and night, and a day after coming off the boat my children were saying how much they were already missing Tony! The crew really became part of our group and part of our experience that will last with us all forever.
    For anyone that is considering Navilux you will not be disappointed. This is a holiday you will never forget and will walk away being completely satisfied, from the minute you meet Sasha to the moment your holiday sadly comes to an end.
    We cannot wait to get back on board Navilux again!

    Dear Sasha,
    We all had a fabulous time on the Navilux. We can't thank you enough for recommending it to us and for organising everything for us. The week went seamlessly.
    We can not fault it. The boat was luxurious, huge and extremely comfortable. The crew especially Ivana and Tony were wonderful and extremely hospitable. The food was absolutely delicious, very fresh and tasty. We all said the food was better on board than in the many great restaurants we ate in along the way.
    The Adriatic coast was simply stunning.
    We had high expectations for the week and those were exceeded. So thank you very much once again.We won't hesitate in recommending the boat and your services to our friends.
    Kind regards

    Dear Sasha,
    We returned today from a wonderful trip aboard Navilux. The boat was perfect-comfortable and spacious but tasteful too. The crew were great and Ivana made a huge impression upon us-so capable, friendly and attentive as was Robert the othersteward. The chef produced fantastic food and had really taken on board the type of cuisine we like- every meal on board was wonderful. The whole team were just lovely and probably the best crew we have encountered- I think the family connection also helps. We also loved Croatia and all of us want to return to see more of the country.
    Thank you for all your help in organizing such a special holiday- we have returned home well rested and delighted to have discovered Croatia aboard Navilux.
    Best wishes,

    Julia

    Captain: Ante Ercegovic
    Nationality: Croatian
    From his earliest years, Ante has been learning how to manage and maintain ships with his grandfather and father. Even before graduating “Cum Laude” at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split, he couldn’t imagine himself doing anything else other than to follow the footsteps of generations of his ancestors, who were invariably captains and boat owners.
    After four years on board of the 38m luxury charter yacht Navilux, from 2016 he has completely dedicated himself to the SY AIAXAIA project – from the very idea till the final product. It is clear that Ante knows every corner of MSY Navilux. Ante is an extremely goal-orientated person, focused and very natural in his leadership role. As a project manager and captain of Nvailux, he has chosen very carefully his crew, in order to provide absolutely the best possible service to his charter guests in a pleasant and positive working environment.

    Chef:Ante Bašić
    Nationality: Croatian
    Ante grew up with intuitive love for food. His mother and grandmother recognised that his interest in cooking is something much more than just a child’s curiosity, so they guided him and supported in his first steps in the culinary world. Ante continued cooking, learning and exploring for years to come. The list of the restaurants where Ante has worked is impressive. He worked his way to get the opportunity to thrive under the mentorship of the most prominent names of Croatian cooking scene.
    Ante is looking forward to providing MSY Navilux guests the ultimate gourmet experience: the opportunity to create his menus according to previously gathered preferences of charter guests he finds completely liberating.

Karmen is organised, attentive and detail-oriented – all traits required in this role.
    While Karmen's role is less guest-facing, it is a crucial element of the overall service provided onboard Navilux. Guests will notice and appreciate the care and attention of Karmen's work. In her spare time, Karmen enjoys walking, cooking and gardening.

    Stewardess: Melody Rarela Matkovic
    Nationality: Croatian
    As a diligent, experienced, professional stewardess Melody has always proved herself to be a valuable asset to every resort and yacht she worked on.

Melody is an organised,
    attentive, and well-focused person, in control of the situation in her working domain. Although you might not see Melody that much, the results of her work will thrill you. In her spare time, Melody is learning Croatian (tutored by her Croatian husband), enjoys walking, cooking and gardening.

    Deckhand: Luka Maric
    Nationality: Croatian
    Luka grew up on the sea and fell in love with boats at an early age. His passion enabled him to sail around the world on various passenger ships.
