What a combo! - This trip was exactly what we needed. At the beginning we wanted to rent bikes and do a motorbike trip only, but in the end, we did a combination of riding and sailing. Amazing. The bike was a new bmw gs 1250, loved it. One little thing, first take a motorcycle ride and then go sailing. It is better that way!

Best skipper on this hemisphere! - Boris was our skipper and was AMAZING!! As new sailors he was kinda and patient and willing to teach us through our panic and many many many questions. We ate like kings over the week, saw many beautiful places, and learned a ton! His english is perfect! As a tourist, it is always hard to know who to trust but Boris is the guy! Hire Desmos and you know you will be taken care of and have nothing but good things to say at the end of your trip! Will definitely be doing this again next time I am back in the area.

Exceptional, trustworthy and experienced. - When you leave your holiday to others you always hope it will be a good one. A trip like this you cannot possibly put together yourself and you need the experience and local knowledge of an experienced guide. I am really glad we invested the time with Desmo as moe than being able to offer a luxury adventure experience they are trustworthy and live up to expectations so I recommend them without hesitation.

Active vacation - I moved to Split recently. I invited my friends, another couple, to join us for a mltorcycle ride around croatia and bosnia. They wanted to do the sailing too so we combined.
