About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- rajaeb20190 contributionsNo stress in cresVery nice day trip, I would highly recommend it. It was perfect for our short stay we booked no stress in cres and managed to see so many beautiful beaches. The captain was extremely helpful and nice too. Ps: the boat is only docking in one location so if you have kids who can’t swim well or you get tired in open water I would recommend bringing a floaty with you.Written August 7, 2021
- stuardh20210 contributionsNiceCaptain took us to nude beach and he was so nice my kids were enjoing whole time 5 of 5 stars just nice things to sayWritten July 29, 2021
- sash0mnml0 contributionsGreat trip, having your own goggles and food is an advantage. Take some extra cash!!! Great captain.We had a great day on the boat, visited great few swimming spots on the way to island Cres. Tomi was very helpful and tried explaining as much as he could. We’ve also visited few extra places like the Blue Cave on our way back which was nice. Small bites in the way of canapés, basic soft drinks, water and traditional spirit - Travenica, were provided as a part of the tour which was also nice. Afternoon seasonal fruits were also a good snack. Satisfied with the trip overall 10/10. Great thanks to Tomi for organizing us a transportation back to the place we stayed at. What people should know about this trip is that you take some extra cash with you and not rely on paying with card, as the majority of local pubs and restaurants take only cash. The restaurants on Cres didn’t take cards and the ATM was broken. It was good that we had our own sandwiches with us. Instead sitting in the cafe we took a quick little hike up the hill to look around the area and found blooming pomegranate trees that were smelling just amazing and found some peace in the great nature of island Cres.Written June 23, 2021
- holidaytrips20200 contributionsVery happy dayExcellent trip with Tomy and his crew who could not have been more helpful. We were taken to three beautiful and beautifully quiet swimming spots further down the coast from Opatija and on Cres. Our group took whole boat which was great because it is a small boat. We had lunch in a very basic cafe on Cres and it's a shame there isn't anywhere nicer. Despite that, we had a very happy day.Written July 29, 2020
- RGratton0 contributionsGood in partsBoat was a little overcrowded. Stopped off in lovely swimming spots but spoilt by captain flicking his fag end in the clear sea . Stopped for lunch in a seriously overcrowded spot and had to wait ages for food ,the captain downed a few pints ... not impressed. Long trip and not what we actually booked . Heath and safety needs a review .Written August 26, 2019
- Leanne H0 contributionsCres 3 stop Blue Bay Tour.The tour itself was good, 2 lovely quiet beach and swimming stops with another longer stop at Beli to get lunch. The price was competitive, 250 Kuna pp for an 8 hour trip. However the boat itself let the whole thing down. Broken dangerous rail on rear, blocked toilet that smelt so bad everyone was trying to sit away from it then the captain was complaining that the passengers weren't balance on the boat! No snorkelling equipment even though we'd specifically checked. A much slower boat than told, so the trip took 10 hours and felt too slow from Opatija to Cres and back, although the stops were lovely and the scenery great.Supposed to include unlimited drinks, snacks and fruit but the captain said we must have booked with someone different as he never has fruit just drinks and crisps. Also never told that the restaurant on Beli was cash only, so would have taken more if known to try out the zip wire or buy ice creams. We did still have a lovely day but these elements spoilt our experience I'm afraid.Written August 21, 2019
- Elvia880 contributionsWhen in Opatija, ask for captain Tomy and don’t miss this wonderful experience!We went twice with captain Tomy (the owner), a few families with kids (8-12 y/o) and both times it was extraordinary experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the beautiful hidden bays and beaches around Island of Cres, to swim in the crystal blue sea and just enjoy the view of beautiful nature. Captain Tomy made us a lunch, grilled fresh fish, grilled meat and vegetables, a lot of fresh salad and fruit in the end. In the offer was also wine, juices, sparkling water, you will not be hungry or thirsty at all, on the contrary. Kids were really happy! They jumped from the boat to the sea, danced on the boat, sit on the front of the boat, playing....they really enjoyed, too. Captain Tomy is a really nice man, he will answer every question you have about the sea, fish and the Kvarner bay area. The boat is safe and clean and everything is of a high standard. We will definitely come again to discover what we didn’t see until now, Ema & Marlin boats are the best choice to do that! Thank you captain Tomy, we wish you a calm sea, see you again!Written August 21, 2019
- cmonika900 contributionsPerfect day!Going on this boat trip was the best decision we made on our vacation! Our friendly guide and captain, Tomislav, did everything he could to make our day enjoyable. He took us to swimming spots where we practically had the whole places to ourselves. He cooked us a tasty lunch right there on the boat as well. Every question was answered kindly and he made all of us feel so relaxed! Thank you! 🙏Written August 9, 2019
- Larshamre0 contributionsOne of the best daysBeautiful day with Tomislav and his skipper out on the ocean. They took us to wonderful places to swim and play, and cooked a lovely lunch on the boat. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the beautiful nature on a smaller boat with a friendly crew.Written August 9, 2019
- annie8f0 contributionsBest day of our hollidayWonderful spent day, without stress just chilling on lonely beach and lunch on boat. The captain Tomy was very kind.Written July 13, 2019
- ManaiaMartin0 contributionsGreat tour!This tour is one of my favourite memories from my holiday in Croatia. I liked that the boat wasn't one of those big ones that have up to 100 guests, because our tour felt exclusive and it was more flexible, because if we liked one beach more than the other we could've just said that to the captain and he would drive us to the other beach.The captain was really nice and he truly made sure that all the guests had a great time.Written July 12, 2019

What a fantastic day. From Lovran to Cres Island with Tommy and his crew.
The Marlin was easy to find from the emailed instructions, the communication has been great from the time we booked the trip before we left the UK.
We dropped anchor in 3 separate swimming spots, where you could swim to pebbly beaches and the last one had a small cafe you could swim into where the water was torquise.
Lunch was fish, meat or vegetable bbq with side dishes and drinks supplied all day.
We met other lovely people on the boat and everyone was friendly and welcoming.
Would highly recommend

We had beautiful day on a boat Marlin, Tomy and his assistant Sara were very nice and friendly. They took us on some of the nicest places on island Cres and Istria coast. On the trip they made nice barbecue and served watermelon. Thus was a best day of whole our vacation in Croatia. We advise to everyone to visit them older people, couples, or families with kids.
Thank you
