An exceptional experience from start to finish.
While the boat Tapas was as expected, the crew exceeded all expectations of our charter.
Our extended family—parents, our four adult sons, and two daughters-in-law, recently spent an unforgettable week aboard the yacht Tapas with Captain Matija Pavlović and MC, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had.
From the moment we stepped on board, Matija created a welcoming environment that made all eight of us feel instantly at home. Managing a group of varied ages and personalities isn’t always easy, but Matija balanced everyone’s interests with incredible ease, making each of us feel cared for and completely included.
His knowledge of the British Virgin Islands is outstanding. Every day brought a new highlight secluded beach, a spectacular snorkeling spot, or a perfectly timed sail between islands—each chosen with our family dynamics in mind. He orchestrated the itinerary so seamlessly that it felt like the islands were unfolding just for us.
Matija’s professionalism and mastery of seamanship were evident in everything he did. His calm, confident demeanor made us feel safe at all times, even in challenging winds or busy anchorages. Yet he pairs that competence with genuine warmth, humor, and a positive spirit that made even simple moments onboard feel special.
Whether he was helping the adventurous members of our family find the best places to explore, or giving space to those who wanted to relax and soak in the scenery, Matija always seemed to know exactly what each person needed. His ability to connect with everyone—parents, sons, and daughters-in-law alike—made the trip feel personal and perfectly tailored.
Our week with Captain Matija was truly one of the finest family vacations we’ve ever taken. If you’re considering a yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands, you couldn’t choose a better captain. He transforms a beautiful sailing trip into an extraordinary family memory.
An exceptional experience from start to finish.
