Your Clever Plan B Creator
always ready to suggest top alternatives!

Your Personal Weather Guy
you can talk to from 7 AM till 9 PM!
Valovie monitors the weather and keeps you informed about sea conditions, provides updates and advises you on what actions to take. Valovie knows how the weather can impact your journey and is prepared to guide you to a comfortable night’s sleep and the safety of your anchored vessel.
Your Berth Planner
even in peak season!
Considering Valovie’s extensive experience, we’re familiar with the capacities and occupancy of berths in the peak season, therefore we’re ready to provide advice on how to adjust the route and travel plan while helping you find access to a berth.
Your Dining Concierge
guiding the way to authentic cuisine!
While there are plenty of traditional as well as family farm restaurants on the Adriatic coast, few offer the exceptional local food and hospitality that you’ll rave about back home. Valovie deals exclusively with such establishments, and yes, is here to make reservations for you and arrange transportation from the boat to the restaurant and back.

The Croatian coast is famous for its numerous hidden beaches and secluded areas accessible only by boat. Valovie is here to take you there! We’ll provide expert advice on how to skip the tourist crowds and avoid standard charter routes.
