Review Time
I’d like to leave an honest review, as I see quite a few negative comments that, in my opinion, are not always placed in the right context.
I have chartered with this company several times – from their bases in Šibenik, Biograd, Sukošan, and Krk – and my experience has consistently been very positive. The boats were in condition that reflects the reality of the charter industry.
It’s important to understand that during the season, a charter boat changes crew almost every week. Between check-out and the next check-in, there are often only a few hours available to clean the boat, inspect it, and address reported issues. Expecting a boat to feel brand new after months of intensive weekly use is simply not realistic.
There are standard check-in procedures provided by the charter company, and any experienced skipper also follows their own checklist. If the boat is inspected properly and any small issues are reported immediately, the staff responds professionally and without unnecessary complications. In my experience, the base teams were helpful, approachable, and always available when needed.
Of course, minor issues can happen – that is normal with a fleet that operates continuously throughout the season. What really matters is how those situations are handled, and here they were handled correctly and efficiently.
Overall, my experience has been that this is a reliable charter company with good organization and a professional approach.
Our September 2025 charter with Angelina Yacht Charter was the most unprofessional and unsafe experience we have had in years of chartering worldwide.The boat had serious safety defects from day one:• A boiling battery releasing toxic and explosive gas• Non-functional VHF microphone• Persistent sewage smell due to faulty pump• Freshwater system partly unusable• Multiple maintenance failures (doors, pumps, missing equipment)The staff member handling check-in and check-out was hostile, aggressive and openly confrontational. Every question was treated as an annoyance, and at check-out he escalated to direct accusations and unprofessional behavior.Despite all documented issues, the company offered zero compensation, dismissed severe faults as “normal wear,” and tried to shift blame for problems clearly caused by poor maintenance. We were even pressured into paying €850 for a platform hinge failure that showed clear signs of material fatigue, not misuse.This company does not take safety, maintenance, or customer treatment seriously.There are far better and more reliable charter operators in Croatia.I strongly recommend choosing another company.
Tries to scam you out of your deposit and delivers the boat with a broken toilet.When we got the boat, it seemed mostly fine but after 2 days, the toilet clogged up and the boat smelled like excrement for the rest of the journey. Not pleasant. After some inspection we found the waste tank to be completely full, which clearly shows they didn't clean it out before letting it to us. Disgusting. They even tried to charge us 100 euros for cleaning out the shit they left on board.When returning we informed them about a window that we broke by accident. They jumped on this opportunity to scam us out of the deposit by claiming we broke multiple windows (which weren't even broken and definitely haven't been damaged by us). When we protested against this, they started insulting us. We will be taking legal action against these money-grubbers.Also, some of the life vests were broken, which is totally irresponsible.If you've already booked with them, I highly recommend taking pictures of EVERYTHING before leaving the harbour (including the toilet waste tanks), as they will lie to you and claim they have not made any pictures beforehand.
The boat we received was riddled with broken equipment (even two life vests were broken) and faulty dials. But all the essential sailing equipment was okay so we sailed off. Quickly it became appearent that the toilet waste tank was not cleaned and they this resulted in literal fecal matter of the previous people who rented the boat flowing over the floor of the boat. After loosing an entire day of sailing they fixed the toilet but then wanted to charge us for the problems they caused.On Arival we indicated that one window under the dingy had broken during sailing. They used this oppertunity to try and make us pay for 3 other uv damaged windows (uv damage that was already there when we set off). When we had already returned the boat we went back to take a few more picturtes and nocticed they did not even replace all windows they claimed we had broken so they can pull the same scam on the next people.When we were talking to the base manager for filing a complaint he told us "I dont know, I know nothing about boats". He also made racist remarks about us belonging to a certain people group. Also they threaten to call the police but they are bluffing since they never did while we said we would like them to call.All in all this is a very bad charter that tries to scam you and I would advice anyone to book elsewhere

i reviewed the comments posted by previous customers, and before taking the option of Angelina yacht charter, bear in mind : - the toilet dysfunction is the classical trap for all users , just to charge you 100 Euro- any small damage for the boat ( even a small window malfunction) will be charged 500 Euro- they will retain your guarantee amount you paid , and will not released it , as they will find many reasons for that. You will be surprised . - before choosing this company, they will email you 1000 times to book your trip , then nobody is around- Sailor proposed has a super CV , but the worst guy ever seen . he just want his money and get rid of you , he does not have an idea about weather conditions. - Many facilities stated in the contract does not exists on the boat . my advice = either choose another trustful company. or swim across the island , its safer
Nearly new boat. (c 2 years old) It says deep in the contract that they reserve the right to use other providers, so we found ourselves with another provider. 5 adults. Only 4 towels Additional towels and snorkelling gear ordered and paid for- but not on boat. Early departure paid for, but as we waited for the extra towels (which we gave up on by 15.30) we weren't able to depart early at all. Fans retro-fitted to the boat. One didn't work, rendering the cabin unusable at night. Inadequate anchor chain length. Supposed to be 50m. Was around 30m so we couldn't anchor in more than 6-7m. Boat for supposedly 10 people (that would have been a tight squeeze) but only 1 wine glass. Presumably an Islamic boat then? Not to mention unfriendly staff at pick-up. "You can't come into the office. I have two people here already, You will have to wait outside". Over 30 C. Great! NEVER AGAIN.
Absolutely dreadful experience – strongly advise against using Angelina Charter.Our experience with Angelina Charter was unacceptable from start to finish. We chartered the Carpe Diem (Bali 4.8) and were forced to disembark three days early due to multiple unresolved issues that made the situation onboard unbearable.From day one, the shower pump in the master cabin was malfunctioning, causing water to stagnate for hours and producing constant noise. The technical team advised us to cut the electrical wire ourselves—a shocking and unsafe solution.For days, we endured a horrible sewage smell, only to discover that the bow cushions were soaked in foul-smelling liquid. Despite indications that the black water tanks were empty, they were clearly overflowing. The crew offered to simply wash the pillows, ignoring the health risks and severity of the situation.On top of all this, the air conditioning in the master cabin produced constant noise, making rest impossible.The lack of professional support, the dismissive attitude, and the failure to provide a replacement vessel or proper solution led us to cut our trip short. This charter was a complete disappointment and certainly not worth any price.
I sailed so far on four boats from Angelina (2 cats, 2 monohulls) from various bases and I can´t complain at all. Both check-in and check-out were fast, withou any major problems. Also all boats were in good condition, withou major issues. Once we experienced faulty achor light and blocked fuel filter, which was promptly resolved withou any need for returning to base marina, which i appriciated. Price-wise is Angelina also very good.
A Oceanis 48 feet from 2015 was apparently ok. Many things worked, but some things missing before departure. So the missing list could not be finished. Nice weather kept us dry until it rained on the last day. The boat was swimming in rain water inside the boat. One of the sleeping berths was soaked up in water. And a lot of broken and worn equipment. After delivery we complained, but no answer. Total silence.
