Don’t just take our word for it

Words can hardly capture the magic of this past week. From the moment we set sail, captain Johnathan and chef Barbara and the rest of the crew just made the most incredible time for us. Barbara’s food was Michelin-worthy. Thank you for making this birthday an unforgettable trip, you went above and beyond, and it shows in every memory we made. Thank you!

Top service from the crew and credits to Oliver at YOKO pulling together our charter in such short notice. We’ve been sailing for 35 years and have done many charters before. This was a truly exceptional experience and we will definitely be using Oliver for future trips.

We’ve just come back from an awesome week cruising around the Dalmatian Islands on a 60ft Aziumut Motor Yacht. We had 2 crew who we give 5stars too and must praise Oliver for his professionalism, planning and fast service. Thank you!

Working with Oliver at Yoko yachts was a fantastic experience! He was always patient and generous with his time. He did everything and more of what we expected – our itinerary, food, drinks, transfer from the airport, and just took care of the whole trip for us to have a memorable and really special vacation. Definitely recommend and will be using them again!

We weren’t sure what to expect but it exceeded what we imagined. The skipper was fantastic and the food was delicious, they catered very well, even for our youngest who are rather fussy. The whole week was just amazing. Underwater scooters, water skiing, seeing great bays and the stars at night were unreal. An amazing holiday which we nearly backed out of, so thank you for your advice and guidance. We will definitely be back.

We booked our first charter outside of the U.S with YOKO. Very glad to have had their guidance, the boat they recommended us was in perfect condition. We especially appreciated how quick they were to answer our questions. We had an excellent week on the water, and we highly recommend their service.
