Blue Cruise

Gulet Dolin is a special type of ship. It is gulet no.3 in our selection and it is the cheapest gulet out of 10 we will present in this blog. From gulet Mare Nostrum to gulet Anđeo and now........GULET DOLIN. We came from 45.000 €/week price down to 6.000 €/week price, but Dolin is here for a reason. And I will explain why.



When you check pictures of the boat, you will immediatly see this is not a standard gulet. Dolin is actualy Croatian built vessel, built more then 50 years ago to carry sand and other equipement around Croatian Islands. The type of ship is called Logger. In all this time, the ship was in hands of owners father who then convinced one of his sons to join him in his business. So in manny years when they were working together, capt. Ivica found out all about every small bay, island, cave and town. He and his father did many good things for local people living on islands from all around Croatia, from Istria and up to Dubrovnik. But in last 10 years this business dissapeared, father of Ivica retired and the family decided to renovate the ship into tourist vessel and provide private charters.



Till now this is actualy quite common story in Croatia, but this is when truly good things start to happen. Here are TOP 5 REASONS, WHY THE CRUISE WITH DOLIN IS SUCH A REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE::

1) Captain Ivica and his crew: quite honestly I have never seen a person which is so flexible and kind harted. You know the cheesy saying it is used so many times: "This owner would do everything which is possible for his clients"! Well in this case it is 100% true. If it is possible, if it is safe and if it is not forbidden by law, Ivica will do it. Everything to keep his guests happy. And his crew is the same. Cook and Waitter have very similar caracters then Ivica. Do not expect "white gloves" service and fake smile of waitter trying to keep you happy. Expect genuine, friendly, fun crew, who will make you will like you know them for years...and you will miss them like close friends whe nyou will leave the ship.



2) Best gulet cruise Croatia price: gulet has truly honest and very good price in the Croatian gulet cruise market. It is guaranteed the vessel that has lowest price in Croatia. Gulet Dolin has 5 cabins each with own shower and toilet (and in the next season also with air condition) and can very comfortably accomodate 10 persons. Gulet has 26 meters in lenght, which means huge deck space for everybody. If you are looking for best possible price and great time on board, this is it.



3) Itinerary possibiites: the gulet is statined in Zadar, but owner knows entire Croatia perfectly. And for the season 2011 the captain has decided to offer special itineraries, for special kind of groups. The best ossible itinerary you can get in Croatia is definatly from Zadar - Trogir. This is the best idea from Ivica and with this route, you can in 1 week check magnificent Kornati islands and then travel to Split Islands after that checking places such as Vis, Brač, Hvar and also Korčula. Other than that, we also suggest you to cruise with this gulet on Zadar - Zadar itinerary and check al lthe incredble nature this area has to offer. Owner know all the small private piers all over croatia and you will be amazed where you will find the spots.



4) Party & Party & Party: the gulet was one of the best ships ever that had a leading role in famous "The yacht week" organizations in Croatia. They can easily say we were "The yacht week" ship - and we survived. The crew, the ship and the concept of the ship are perfect for younger party groups, that like loud music. The bar will not close at 23:00 in the evening on Dolin. It can last entire night if the clients request! In season 2009, Dolin was the main ship and The yacht week, which is biggest party organization in Croatia for sailing yacts - AND CREW AND DOLIN SURVIVED WITH BEST POSSIBLE GRADE!



5) Drinks on ship & Incredible bar: gulet Dolin is one of very few ships, that alos the clients to bring their own drinks on board. Just tell to agency what kind of drinks you wish you have on board, crew will buy for you from supermarket and you will pay the supermarket price. This way you will save incredble amount of money if you like to party and drink a lot. Also ship has very nice open bar at the back of the ship, which makes serving truly a peace of cake and enables also the clients, to get any time whatewer they want.



Dolin is truly amazing ship and when it comes to Value for money. They say:" Price is what you pay and value is what you get"! On Dolin, Value is much higher then price you are paying. And this is the main reason why this gulet is so special!
