To the most incredible chartered yacht: ACAPELLA
What can we say... We have had the most incredible week on Acapella with the bestest team.
The attention you brought to us, in every single detail, let us sit back and relax. Every time one would ask for something, we would have it in the next ten. Captain, you definitely have the bestest team. The service on board is better than a 5-star hotel. The Chef made us the most delicious dishes and would make us what we wanted to eat when we wanted. Tom, Mat and Steve always reacted in a second when asked to go water-skiing, or “Can we have the black curtain taken off?!”
Tommy was there for our safety and made sure that big anchor was stable. We wish him and his baby Leo the bestest luck for the upcoming heart operation.
Ivan, Gaby and Anna—none of this would have been possible without you. You go far and beyond for your guests, always with a huge smile.
Now I have kept the last for the best… Captain, your boat is a gem. Seeing how you constructed it, piece by piece, year after year, with a true passion
Dear Acapella crew, 16 July 2025
Over the past ten days, all 12 of us feel like we have become part of your family. After our 2022 voyage, we never thought we could top that experience—but we did!!
Your entire crew made our experience wonderful and priceless. You shared our laughs, you made us laugh even more, and we leave as happy as any one of us can imagine.
The boat, ports, water—everything was perfect. The meals, every single one, were fit for the best critics. What a great chef. Every time we moved about, it seemed like our rooms were made perfect again.
Karaoke and movie nights were so much fun. The bar was perfect. Not a single request went unmet, and the wines were heavenly. We could not imagine a more relaxing, fun, and soul-soothing holiday.
You have a very special family and crew.
Summer 2025
With your father and brother —
Every detail was thought of. The best part of the boat is visiting the engine room—and what an engine room! One could sleep on the floor, it is spotless! You have brought us to the most incredible spots with the best views.
We leave very relaxed, a full stomach, clean clothes, full of memories for life, but somehow a little sad to leave Acapella and its BEST Team —
LONG LIVE TO ACAPELLA!
With all our love,
Guy, Caroline, Thomas, Gabriella, Nicolas, Elinore and Hugo

Such a lovely boat, and I really admire your hard work to create such a masterpiece! It inspires!
Ivana + Gabie Am
First of all, the drinks were amazing! Thanks for always getting my Pringles late at night. I’m so grateful for you guys!
Dom + Stipe + Matko
Thank you guys for protecting the boat and teaching me how to drive the tender. Also, I appreciate you guys staying up late for us to come home from the clubs. You guys are the best!
Tiho
We should’ve never got dinner reservations in the city because your food was the best! The lobster you made was the best lobster I have ever had, and the desserts were to die for.
To all you guys, thank you for your great hospitality. This week flew by and that is truly because of all of you. The Acapella is like a 5-Star Hotel—but on water. I hope we all get to cross paths again, and I’m beyond grateful for each one of you.
To the crew of the Acapella, thank you so much for the most incredible week. Exploring Croatia this way for the first time was a dream come true. From the amazing food to the great drinks, the noise setups, and Lannade (my favorite), this has been so much fun. The tender boat, tender sheets—it all would never have been as enjoyable without this exceptional crew. Thank you!
To all Acapella crew, thank you so much for the most memorable experience. You all made this the best week I’ve ever had. You met us with such sweetness and hospitality, and it wouldn’t have been the same without you. From the captain’s boat itself to you—this was and is the most amazing creation we’ve ever seen. Thank you from the absolute bottom of our hearts!
Kayla + Rebecca
To the Acapella crew, I couldn’t be more grateful for the most amazing week exploring Croatia.

From the perfect drinks, the delicious food, the adventures on the tender, and the beautifully built Acapella made by our amazing captain! Thank you all again, and I hope we all meet again soon!

"Thank you so much for a wonderful week here in Croatia! You made our experience very memorable. How Acapella came to be is an amazing and inspiring story. The entire crew was amazing and very gracious. We enjoyed all of the special and delicious meals. Thanks again, we will be back!"June 2024
We had the BEST time on the charter, we loved Captain Niksa and his crew. Thank you for checking in with us.The Boat/amenities
what we loved about the boat was the layout and it's expansiveness, and how thoughtfully every detail was considered for guests. It was the most quiet and solid boat we've ever been on, there was very little rocking even on windy or stormy days. The layout of the boat was very accommodating for a party of our size-- many boats don't have a lot of uncovered deck space, to hang out; we really loved the top level where there was room to lay out, everyone enjoyed the hottub and we also love the front area where we watched movies at night, or had a quiet space to be away from a crowd if you wanted to be. And of course enjoyed the dining area where we had our meals and played lots of games. Also, it was the first boat we've chartered/been on where we actually made use of the interior salon-- it actually felt like a natural extension of the exterior. We all felt like we had lots of room for our things as well as for ourselves-- we never felt crowded. We also loved the toys- we made good use of the seabobs and paddle boards every day, and also we got in some wakeboarding and waterskiing.
The Crew:
The crew was very professional and always attuned to our needs. We also felt in very good hands from a navigation and safety perspective in all circumstances. Captain Niksa's knowledge of the all cruising areas (from the best places to anchor, to spend the night and have the best views, to where to go for lunch, to which areas to avoid (like for jellyfish for example) added to the overall joy of the trip! Niksa was also on top of the weather-- he was prepared in advance for every contingency. His workmanship and care for his boat and crew were evident in all his actions. The crew were very pleasant, responsive, and attentive without being intrusive. Our cabins were spotless, laundry was perfectly done without incident. We all loved the laundry detergent it smelled so good!
Areas Cruised: Thumbs up to areas cruised. We had a mix of smaller and bigger islands, with visits to quaint little towns. Again, Captain Niksa's knowledge of these areas, and where to go, where to eat off the boat etc.-- all great.
Food:
Breakfasts were a nice mix of yogurts, croissants/breads, prosciutto, fruit platters, jams and local honeys, local specialties, your choice of eggs as you liked, and generally pancakes or waffles. Breakfasts were a universal thumbs up.
Lunches: always a mix of grilled fish and some kind of meat, along with green salad and another salad of couscous or quinoa and vegetables and a dessert. We loved the chef's salad dressings, and his desserts were a huge hit. The fish was always fresh and simply prepared (which we liked). One day we had tuna poke bowls (or chicken if you didn't like fish), and that was a huge hit with everyone.
Dinners: again, we liked to eat simply prepared fishes/meats, with vegetables /salads. Most meals we ate family style as we liked, and finished off with delicious desserts.
We loved every minute on Acapella, and have already recommended the boat to our friends…
What made the trip so special was not only the boat itself -- great boat for a group of mixed ages-- something for everyone -- but the crew, and the charming and endearing Captain Niksa.

"Thank you so much for the most amazing 10 days. This trip was more than any of us could have imagined. We all felt at home the moment we stepped on board. The memories are unforgettable. You all have been absolute angels. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable. I truly hope to be back again!"July, 2023
I’ve just arrived back in Dubrovnik with my family, having left Captain Niksa and the Acapella and Amy earlier today in Zadar. I wanted you to know how great the entire experience was. Both boats, their captains and the crews exceeded all my expectations. The two boats worked beautifully in tandem, and every member of my family said it was the best vacation they’d ever had. The Acapella is an extraordinary yacht, designed with every possible luxury and convenience you can imagine. The yacht was only surpassed by the quality and performance of the captain and the crew. I will unhesitatingly recommend it to all my friends. From beginning to end, the trip has been a seamless joy. It’s going to be impossible for any future family vacation to live up to this one.August, 2023

“I spent a wonderful week onboard ACAPELLA hosted by the excellent Captain Niksa who was certainly the best guide to discover Croatia. His knowledge of the region is second to none and he found the most ideal anchorages throughout our time onboard. The yacht is very comfortable and in perfect condition, no detail has been spared. Having 3 large master cabins is such a great selling point and the extensive sun deck was a wonderful area for relaxation and entertaining. Chef Tihomir provided us with a wonderful gastronomic experience and the whole crew were so attentive and accommodating. This yacht surpassed all of my expectations and I would have no hesitations in proposing her for any prospective enquiries.”“ACAPELLA was no doubt the star of the fleet, and one of the nicest looking yachts based in Croatia. She has beautiful lines and a good charter layout, and is full of clever additions and features, having clearly been built by an experienced owner with guest comfort in mind. Captain Niksa is the perfect charter captain – passing on his charm, confidence and passion to the rest of the crew as well, making for a great atmosphere onboard. The crew are all efficient, welcoming and pleasant and clearly know the area very well and are keen to share this with guests. Whether exploring with the (very comfortable) tender or enjoying local products expertly cooked by chef Tihomir, we were extremely well looked after, and will highly recommend the yacht.”
“ACAPELLA is exactly what our clients are looking for at this level and the crew’s enthusiasm, professionalism and charism is a huge selling point. The yacht is super spacious and comfortable, and the crew’s local knowledge of the area is fabulous. I would have no reservations about putting my clients onboard or recommending to other charter brokers. Top Yacht, Crew and Chef!!
