The cruise was not only helpful for improving my water polo game, but also a life changing experience allowing me to visit a foreign country and learn more about the culture. The people who run it are very knowledgeable with the sport and the culture so it makes the cruise feel authentic in both ways. 10/10 would do it again!

This is the 6th year I have sent a group of players and families on the Water Polo Cruise. Being on the boat on the Adriatic Sea is fantastic. The places we visit are breathtaking. And the training and coaching is so good, better than any water polo camp I have seen.

We had a great time! The food was delicious! Plenty to choose from. Nice to have a chance to swim in the sea while the kids were practicing. I liked the tours that were supplied to us. Very informative and not too long. As a grandma on the trip, I liked the discipline and manners that were enforced. I was happy to hear the parents were all for it. Nap Time was great! Everyone needed it. Little dismayed with the meal given after the polo game. I would have rather enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant. Great people all in all!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our hosts, Ivan and Mateo, provided outstanding coaching and mentorship to the players. Every stop was magical in its own way and provided memories for a lifetime. The small-town vibes, excellent land-based tours (they weren't too long and were very engaging), and abundant opportunities for water activities made for a very enjoyable week. If you have the opportunity to take this trip, you will not regret it - trip of a lifetime!

My family of five had a fabulous time on this cruise. The water polo coaching was fantastic, and my daughter felt she got much more out of the coaching from Ivan and Mateo than she would have spending a week in a camp in the US. She and her team very much enjoyed playing Croatian teams, and it was awesome to see how a love of the game can transcend language and cultural barriers. Croatia is spectacular and it was special to share a glimpse of the culture, landscapes, and history with natives. We learned about the Croatian attitude of "pomalo", a cultural appreciation for relaxation and desire to not rush through life; we all completed the trip with a renewed gratitude for every day. The accommodations on the boat were comfortable and the food on the boat and in port cities was delicious. The overall experience surpassed high expectations. Thank you for a fantastic week!

An amazing trip! Mateo and Ivan were perfect guides and hosts. We went to great destinations, learned about local culture and customs and ate great food! The scenery was beautiful and the daily swim stops were perfect! I would recommend this trip to anyone. We will be back and we look forward to seeing Mateo and Ivan again!

What an incredibly special trip for our family. Our son’s quality of play improved (vastly), we so enjoyed our time with Mateo, Ivan, and Nikolai. The three of them are a triple-threat in coaching and everyone learned so much from them. Thanks for making our family’s first trip to Croatia unforgettable. We’d also pitch this to families without kids playing water polo. We invited our friends (fam of 4) and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves! While we were at games, they would go off and explore the gorgeous places we pulled into. It was all fantastic for everyone. Until we see you all again! Xo - The Jones Family
