Goolets Ltd.

Goolets and the crew on the boat Riva recently provided 30 of our family and friends from Australia with a holiday of a lifetime in Croatia. Our 7 night cruise was everything we hoped for and more. The support from Klemen in the lead up was amazing and made the organisation for such a large group easy. From swimming, water and jet skiing in the tranquil waters to visiting old towns and natural landscapes on the islands, it was everything we’d hoped for and more! Beauty and history around every corner and cove. The service on board was first class! Thank you to the Riva crew and Goolets. We would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Words.cannot describe how wonderful our experience was on the Alfa Mario in Croatia! The Goolet team were wonderful to work with as we prepped for the trip. Once on board the Alfa Mario, the captain and crew went out of their way to make us feel welcome and accommodated perfectly! The chefs prepared wonderful meals, the bartenders were attentive and intuitive. The captain and team ensured a safe, smooth sail. I can’t say enough nice things about our hostess/concierge, Mihaela! I would highly recommend!!

We recently spent a week traveling through the Croatian islands on the Gulet ‘Croatia’. It was a magical experience and one we will remember fondly forever. I booked the boat through Goolets. Klemen was my concierge contact and was keen to assist in any way possible to make sure we had the best experience possible. He would always respond to my queries within 24 hrs despite the time difference and was always happy to accommodate any requests or queries. The boat itself was spacious and well decked out for 3 families traveling with kids. The crew were lovely, obliging, kind people who were always happy to help. A very relaxed and capable Captain who took us to some incredible places. The food was incredible. 3 courses for lunch and dinner (depending on which we selected for the day) and breakfast was a smorgasbord catering for many of our traveling party’s preferences. I don’t know how our chef did it all out of the ship’s kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend the experience to anyone considering it. We would happily do it again.

We recently had the pleasure of spending time aboard Smart Spirit, and it was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. The boat itself is stunning—classic, beautifully maintained, and immaculately clean—but what truly made the trip exceptional was the incredible crew: Mislav, Nano, and Veto. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were blown away by the level of service, professionalism, and warmth. Mislav, the captain, exuded confidence and joy. He made us feel completely at ease, always checking in to ensure we were happy and comfortable. His island-hopping recommendations were perfect, and he even took our kids tubing—such a highlight! Nano’s cooking was out of this world—some of the best food we’ve ever had. Every dish was impeccable, and he somehow managed to wow even our picky children, who are still talking about his meals. His attention to detail and talent in the kitchen were nothing short of amazing. And then there’s Veto, who became a fast favorite among both adults and kids. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful. He anticipated our needs, kept everything spotless, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Our son adored him—they even had a secret handshake! The trip was more than a vacation—it was an experience filled with leisure, adventure, joy, and world-class hospitality. Seeing Croatia from the water aboard Smart Spirit, surrounded by such an exceptional crew, was nothing short of magical. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

First class! 7 days on Riva will make it hard to go back to real life! Staff are exceptional, the vessel is comfortable with all the mod cons. The best way to see Croatia and the Adriatic!

For the 36th year, we have chartered on the Turkish Coast. We know it inside out….but a great boat and a capable, friendly and professional crew make all the difference! The crew on this and last year’s crew were the best ever- capable, polite, always perfectly dressed, and most importantly for these charters in Turkey, at least one crewmember spoke perfect English! The food was fabulous and varied. We discovered new places. And, the captain understood that we wanted our peace and quiet- no busy bays or ports, just beautiful anchoring spots with beautiful swimming.

I had the most incredible experience on our week-long Croatia yacht charter onboard the Ohana. From the moment we set sail, it was clear that this trip would be nothing short of extraordinary for our group of 29 friends and family. The stunning Dalmatian Coast provided a breathtaking backdrop for our adventure. The booking and planning process with Goolets was seamless and our contact, Blaž, helped us plan all of the details of our trip. While we planned out many details in advance, we also learned that one could just as easily shown up and and let Captain Josip and crew ensure a wonderful week. The yacht itself was luxurious and well-appointed, offering every comfort we could have asked for. The crew was not only highly skilled but also incredibly accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed at all times. Their knowledge of the local area added a special touch for us as first time visitors to Croatia, as they guided us from Dubrovnik to Split. Every day brought a new adventure, whether it was exploring secluded coves, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or enjoying the historical Croatian towns. Ohana was equipped with the latest and greatest water toys available for our use. The cuisine onboard was exceptional, featuring fresh, local ingredients and expertly prepared dishes that delighted our taste buds. While we kept very busy exploring the towns and villages along the route, there was plenty of time for relaxation. Watching sunsets from the deck, laughing around the dining table, and lounging around the numerous decks of Ohana were moments of pure joy and made for lasting memories. The Ohana yacht charter in Croatia exceeded all expectations, providing an unforgettable experience that none of us will ever forget. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, adventure, and unforgettable moments with friends and family. It was a week of pure magic and truly the trip of a lifetime!

I highly recommend Goolets to plan your next yacht vacation. This was my first time on a yacht of this magnitude. Bella was the name of our yacht, it was gorgeous, it had 18 cabins, a small spa, a sun deck with loads of space with seating and a television (one night we did a movie night), a large salon that everyone could sit and eat comfortably together, a bar area with indoor and outdoor access and seating. Our group consisted of 30 people ages 35-60 from all across the US and our trip was during high season and we sailed the Adriatic Sea stopping at 8 magnificent ports. Everyone has said this was a trip of a lifetime, and it will be hard to top. We all have pretty demanding careers, so this trip was just what the doctor ordered. The yacht crew catered to all of our needs, they were all very patient and flexible. The food was delicious with a lot of flavor, the bartender kept the drinks flowing, and we had the time of our lives. Even when three of my friends’ luggage was delayed by various airlines, our concierge Miha helped track down the luggage and had it delivered on a ferry to one of our port stops. Never have I seen such thorough customer service. He booked a wonderful masseur to be onboard for the full week and helped with planning extra excursions… again everything was top tier. This trip was a perfect 10! Booking through Goolets was one of my best decisions in planning this trip! I’m already looking forward to my next yachting experience!
