Filip has been accompanying me throughout the skipper licensing process as a teacher and continues to be my mentor for tough situations. Whenever I go sailing in Croatia, I first give a call to Filip. His insights and guidance to plan my trip are tremendously valuable. He is well connected with the charter companies and always helps us find the right boat for the right setting. But not only that, once I am at sea I continue being in touch with him and appreciate his guidance to avoid bad weather scenarios and pick beautiful anchorages. It makes me feel at peace during my vacation, knowing that I have a most experienced local skipper helping me making decisions for the safety of myself and my crew. And if that’s not enough, Filip is just a really nice guy and great to hang out with!
Not only was the Booking via Skipper Hotline cheaper (and more comfortable) than any other offers I got on my own, especially as a skipper relatively new to sailingboats the 24/7 direct phone-connection to Filip – who was responsible for me and my crew during our one week trip from Pirovac to Veli Rat and back – was a huge plus in my confidence and therefor well-being on board, overall safety of our trip and of course the comfort. You sleep better, if you know that somebody grown up sailing would have chosen the same spot for anchoring and checks the weather reports with you, if you have any uncertainties. That’s just an example, as a one stop shop the support started when I made my first thoughts on where to go, which boat to choose, what to buy for the amount of people in the crew, what to think of before and during the trip, how to do certain manoveurs, put the sails, etc. etc…. Getting that level of service while saving money was a decission I have never regret during our trip. It felt like having somebody highly experienced as an additional member of the crew – without having to think of an extra bed 😁 I really am looking forward to my next trip with sailinghotline!!!
