To the Captain and Crew of Annabelle I,
Wow! What can we say? This week has been beyond spectacular! This trip has been beyond 6 stars—truly unforgettable.
Each day was so smooth, and when we changed course to see Montenegro too, Captain Jerry was so accommodating and showed us the best of both Croatia and Montenegro!
Chef Eugene—no words. Every single meal was beyond delicious, and the presentation was out of this world. The tables looked so beautiful every meal, and the dining experience was top notch! We want him in our kitchen every day!
Vanya and Melia were absolutely gracious, beyond kind, and the perfect hostesses. They catered to our every need, and every single time did it with a smile. They truly were absolutely incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel like royalty.
Alex is such a happy, warm, helpful, and energetic person. He was so much fun and did everything my kids and family asked for!
Captain Jerry—the biggest thanks for keeping us safe and showing us this beautiful country—two in fact!
Cannot say enough about this week.
Muchas gracias and a very grateful thank you!

For a wonderful experience aboard the Annabel II!
JERRY, VANIA, EUGEN, MILICA & ALEX
Wow—what an incredible ten days on board Annabel II for the Tremain family! We had high expectations, however these were blown out of the water from day one.
- Jerry, your calm manner and expertise leading your team and your clients was first class. Your humour made it even better—“wake up the donkeys!” HVALA!
- Vania, you are a lovely person with expertise in all areas of hospitality. Go well!
- Eugen, what can one say about you as a chef? The best food ever eaten by us! Plus your humble personality.
- Milica, you will make an incredible lead lady as you continue to learn from Vania—a beautiful soul to go with it.
- Alex, you were so friendly from day one. Your expertise in key areas was essential for our trip to travel smoothly. Great guy.
In summary, the very best holiday anyone can have in the most beautiful country of Croatia! HVALA SIMON
- Jerry – A constant anchor through our journey! “Wake up the donkeys!” and “cyclist”—knows the right guys and always gets the best spot in the port.
- Vania – Heavenly smile! I’ll never hear the words “you’re welcome” or “no problem” without thinking of you.
- Milica – Lovely, quiet, hardworking and on the job all the time.
- Eugen – Michelin-star meals three times a day. Thank you!
- Alex – Your positivity and local knowledge were priceless. I’ll miss you all! — JH

We had the pleasure of booking a 10 day charter in Croatia & Montenegro in June of 2025. We were traveling with 4 adults & 4 children ages 6-13.
All of the staff were outstanding, welcoming and the extremely kid friendly. This captain & crew were always working as a team; professional, accommodating, very respectful of boundaries & spaces. The food was the best we have ever had on ANY charter we have been by a good margin. Everything was fresh and there was no need to eat off the boat because every meal was very special. We highly recommend this charter without reservation for an amazing visit to Croatia which is their specialty. We will be back but will stay longer with them next time!

Dear Jerry, Mimi, Alex, Jelena and Ivana,
Wow! you exceeded our expectations in every way and provided a week in paradise, Jerry found us the most beautiful places in Croatia, kept us safe, taught us so much about boats and made us laugh every day! Mimi's cooking is exceptional, we all gained 5 kilos with no regrets, every meal was amazing. Jelena and Ivana, no detail was to small, nothing was overlooked. You took care of us with grace and warmth and made us feel so at home. From beautifully set tables to cabins that were made up in the blink of an eye, you made some of the best hotels in the world look like they are missing something. Alex, the gentle lion, best trophy fixer ever, awesome engineer and water sports enthusiast, no talk was to long, you made everything seem effortless. To this warm and caring crew, we wish you love and happiness. Love, The A family. PS now I'm buying a boat, even though J doesn't know it!

We had a wonderful time onboard of Annabel II. The crew couldn’t be more attentive, resourceful and diligent. Superb service. Jerry was a great captain, always open to hear our suggestions with safety first approach.
A special word here about Jessica’s careful service and Filippo’s Michelin star level cuisine. This made our trip.
Overall we had a great time onboard and, above all, quality time with family. Please pass on these words to Annabel II team. We also left some kind remarks on their guest logbook.

July 16 - 23 2022 Feedback from client: Crew operate like a “well oiled” machine and are clearly very comfortable with each other and experienced.
Philippo was an amazing chef and the food was exceptional! Alex, Jess and Yelena were wonderful to interact with and happy to chat and have conversations and were able to accurately gauge what we needed and when. Jerry picked a great combination of places to stop- national parks and local villages/towns. All crew very accommodating, unobtrusive and cheerful. Having them as crew definitely made the trip! If they were on Annabel 2 next year we would book it again immediately. Catherine (a very happy customer)
