This is my second trip with Sail Croatia, I think that says enough on how amazing they are. Every single second was so beautiful, exciting, and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Lola, was so lovely and you can tell she wants you to enjoy your time and fall in love with not only Croatia itself but the people within it. The crew on Almissa was definitely the highlight of my trip. From the captain, to the sailors, chefs, and waiters, words cannot describe how magnificent they made this week. The food is delicious and full of flavor, the cabins feel cozy, and the boat makes you feel at home. If you can book with Almissa, I can promise you that you won’t regret it. I will be returning for a third time, specifically for the Almissa crew!!!

What a fabulous way to spend a week! Great scenery, fun activities, delicious food and drink, exceptional service . . . all aboard a beautiful ship surrounded by friendly people. Be as active or as low-key as you want; there is something for everyone! Highly recommend.

I was with my family celebrating my birthday, Mario and Fani made for us a wonderful experience. Mario was great as a captain, we felt so secure with him, because it was our first time sailing. We can tell he is so experienced. Fani was so kind with us. Food was exceptional, she even made tacos for us, that was a very nice detail. Both of them (Mario and Fani) showed us the best of Croatia Islands! Best vacation ever, I won’t forget it!

The staff of our boat, including Dino as the key organizer and communicator, created a unique, fun-filled, and memorable trip! There was structure, but also flexibility infused, and the overnights in the beautiful ports were helpful for each group to make the trip their own - exploring, eating, indulging, etc. Loved everything and would highly recommend!

I was nervous coming onto the boat not knowing what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. From the crew and Dino being so helpful and fun to the other passengers just making our week complete! We had the best time. Thank you again!

I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone and everyone. It is the best way to see the country and is totally stress free. All your arrangements are looked after. Dino was an absolute superstar giving us daily updates and addressing everyone's needs. He went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fabulous time. We had the best week ever. Truly memorable.

The staff at Sail Croatia made us so comfortable - from immediately understanding and responding to my daughter's aversion to seafood, to accommodating some last minute changes to our plans. I'm a skittish eater, but the food - both on the ship and in the ports - was delicious and fresh. While excursions were available everyday, it was perfectly fine to enjoy the sundeck or the lounge instead. The bar onboard was a little expensive, and you can't bring your own drinks onboard, but Marko's Special is now a new favorite! Our Explorer trip was blessed with a dynamite group of passengers from around the world, and we were able to connect and all have fun together - the small group size of the ship is conducive to that. Finally, a special shout-out to Klara, our Cruise Director (who didn't get the reference to Julie on the Love Boat). Klara was knowledgeable about how the ship works, what's available to do in the ports, where the good food is, and where to find hair products and bandaids!

We were very excited about this trip and the cruise did not disappoint! All the crew members and our tour guide were extremely accommodating, helpful, and made our stay extremely pleasant. We loved the mix of downtime on the boat and time spent exploring all the port cities. We were very excited about all the excursions and did quite a number of them. I highly recommend the bike ride, the blue caves tour, and the Krka national park. The swim stops were absolutely gorgeous each day. Our entire boat became an extended family by the end of the trip. Highly recommend!

Between the team on the boat, including Dino, our guide, the beautiful boat itself, and the scenery we visited, could not have been better.

I can’t recommend Callum enough – he made our Sail Croatia experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we stepped on board, he created such a fun, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere. His energy was infectious, and he always went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having the time of their lives. Whether it was helping us discover hidden swim spots, hyping us up for the night ahead, or making sure we were all safe and comfortable, Callum was the ultimate host. Thank you for the memories – already planning the next trip!

The crewmates and tour guides were wonderful always being very nice. Everyone on the islands we went to already respected them. They gave off the coil camp counselor energy allowing kids to be kids and still do fun stuff while also keeping everyone safe.

I recently returned from a cruise in Croatia. From start to finish, it was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and jaw-dropping beauty. Scenery: Absolutely stunning. The Coast is everything you’d imagine—crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, charming old towns, and lush green islands. Staff: The crew was incredible—friendly, professional, and always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Food: Delicious! Every meal was a treat, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a variety of options. From fresh seafood to Croatian specialties, everything was beautifully prepared. There was always something new to look forward to, and they catered well to dietary needs, too. Activities: One of the highlights for me was e-biking around the different islands. It was such a fun and effortless way to explore off-the-beaten-path villages, vineyards, and scenic coastal roads. All in all, this Croatian cruise exceeded my expectations in every way.

Had such a wonderful time with my three daughters. Was an awesome passenger group and Calum and the whole crew made the trip very fun and organised.

We are so pleased we chose Sail-Croatia and the Almissa. Captain Joseph is an excellent seaman, and his sailors are first-rate. Our guide, Klara, was hilarious and made sure there were no problems, only solutions. The ship staff made sure we never went hungry or thirsty. We especially loved the daily swims in secluded spots, We will be back!

Me and my friend travelled with Mala Kate and the crew last week and to say it was fantastic would be an understatement. Elena and our crew were the absolute sweetest people we could have asked for. Not only were they crew they were friends with everyone which made our experience so much better. We would not change a single thing about our week with sail and who we met and shared memories with. Elena is one of the nicest girls I’ve ever met and the most incredible rep. All up sail croatia was an unforgettable experience and one that will be sadly missed. To all the crew, you guys made our week unforgettable, We will miss you so much :(

Such a fun , relaxing , good food , great staff ! Well organized trips. The e-bikes had enough power to climb the steep hills. The small quaint towns on the islands were friendly with amazing food.

Wow wow wow! From the moment we were welcomed on board we were made to feel special by Vikco and the crew. Great cabins that had everything we needed; the breakfasts and lunches were fabulous! So many well-chosen beautiful islands we visited with opportunities to do some of the activities offered. On the relaxing days it was lovely to sit and relax on the most beautiful ship and go out later when we docked and enjoyed some lovely dinners at restaurants that had been recommended to us. We will have these beautiful memories forever and met some wonderful people it was one of the best trips we have been on. Everyone got on so well It was such fun and for us we travelled with our special friends who live in the UK and we are in Aus so a great catch up for us. Thank you and we hope to sail with you again!

I have just ‘completed’ my sail Croatia, where unfortunately our boat Tvrdi broke down on day 3/8. This was unfortunate butI could not have asked Sail Croatia to handle it any better. Their customer service was amazing, so although we ended up missing more than half of our cruise, they still provided us with a partial refund, some free activities, free transport from Dubrovnik to Split and an amazing representative on our boat, Emma. It was unfortunate circumstances that we didn’t get to complete the cruise, although I was still able to enjoy my time and create wonderful friendships in the positive environment Sail Croatia made for us. Thank you Sail Croatia

We had the absolute time of our lives sailing with Sail Croatia aboard the beautiful Jubilo. The catamaran itself was as advertised—each room was well-appointed and cozy. The common areas offered space to relax and take in the stunning Adriatic views. But what truly made the experience outstanding were Captain Ivan and Hostess Jelena. Ivan went above and beyond—his deep local knowledge and connections unlocked a side of the Croatian islands we never could have discovered on our own. Whether it was suggesting a hidden cove, arranging a dinner reservation, or adjusting our route for better weather, his guidance made all the difference. Jelena was equally incredible! Her meals were not just delicious but also beautifully prepared, and her company was a real highlight. Worth noting: the costs for buoys and marina use do add up and are cash-only, so definitely come prepared. There are only four bathrooms (heads) on board, so we shared one with the crew—ok, but wish we'd been told ahead.

My friends and family had the best time with Ana and the entire crew on Esperanza!!! Ana was amazing about coordinating events/excursions and making sure that we were all having a great time, and the crew of Esperanza made sure that we all felt so taken care of the entire week onboard, This will be such a hard vacation to top. The swim stops every day were beautiful and each port in Croatia was unique and fun in their own ways. 10/10 would recommend.
- Jamie, 26/06/2025 18:58, Travelled with Friend/s
Ivan and Lucy were phenomenal guides. They took us to beautiful out of the way places. They took time to research ahead of time the most authentic Croatian experiences. We got to meet local people and experience their way of life. All while experiencing incredible scenery on off the beaten track roads. They were encouraging and nurturing. Felt very safe and supported on the bike rides. Lucy was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and her stories were very educational. Getting back to the boat was always a treat because Andre knew what we wanted to drink, and the meals were delicious. The ports were small and cozy feeling. Swimming off the boat was spectacular, the water was so clear and brilliant. The other passengers were equally delightful and interesting. We couldn't be more pleased.

Sail Croatia was the best week of my life!! I met so many new friends and partied A LOT, which I loved! The crew was AMAZING so friendly and their service was great! The food was insane, we had such a great cook. Saw so many beautiful places, swam in crystal clear water and tanned in the hot sun! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and I would love to do it again!
- Stephanie, 26/06/2025 08:11, Travelled in a Couple
My bestfriend and I had the most amazing experience on Sail Croatia and so much of it came down to the amazing crew on board. Libby, our rep, was a ray of sunshine. She made our boat feel like family straight away and had everything so well organised for us to have the best nights out or dinners. Our trip would not have been half as amazing without her being our rep, we already miss her. The crew were also so welcoming, helpful and friendly! Jovana and Deno felt like good friends by the end of the week and it was so nice to be able to chat to anyone on the boat, including all of the crew. Could not recommend something more, a week of the bluest waters, boat parties and so many new friends.

The Afrodita ship was very clean and in great condition! The crew were amazing, the food was delicious and they were a pleasure to be around. Andrej behind the bar was incredible! He was attentive, fun, had a great attitude and we could have a joke with him. Nouraia (guide) was also great! She was very friendly and up for a chat. I felt the week was well organised and she was knowledgeable of the places we went to!

Our recent 7-day hiking cruise with tour leaders Mate and Ilona was fantastic. They were absolutely the best--so knowledgeable and friendly, and they knew how to set a crowd-pleasing pace for activities. Ilona offered to make dinner reservations at almost every port of call--so helpful. The ship was comfortable and well-maintained, and the crew were responsive and professional. The food was plentiful and tasty. We were with a large group of friends, and I think everyone in our group had a great time. My husband and I were able to complete all the hikes. Not everyone was able to. I think some guests would have benefited from having more info about the hikes when considering whether to book the trip--not just length of hike and elevation gain, but a bit about the technical aspects: e.g., gravel/scree, occasional boulder-scrambling, etc. Mate provided these descriptions the day of the hike, but having the info earlier might have been helpful. Overall, though, 5-stars all the way!
- Kelley, 25/06/2025 21:23, Travelled in a Couple
Our guides Dora and Matilda were fabulous! 8 days of fun, laughter, beautiful sights, history stories, and guided experiences. Would give them both 10 stars if I could ✨️

I had an amazing experience on the bike-cruise in Croatia with guides Miranda and Martin from SailCroatia. There are three main reasons why I enjoyed the trip so much: First, the bike routes were perfectly planned by Miranda, who was the mastermind behind our rides. She took us through beautiful coastal views, protected areas, and charming seaside villages. Second, both Miranda and Martin were very professional and patient, adapting to the different cycling levels in our group. Martin was also a great support and our cultural-historical guide, always sharing interesting and brief facts about each place we visited, which was fantastic. Finally, the daily briefings were very helpful. They gave us detailed information about the bike routes, swimming opportunities in crystal-clear water, and recommendations for activities and restaurants at each stop. This made it easy to choose what to do in the afternoons. Overall, the bike-cruise was amazing! Highly recommended!
- Maribel, 25/06/2025 13:25,
We had an epic week on board the navigator ensuite cruise. Our tour guide was so friendly and helpful to all the guests, he had lots of knowledge of Croatia and could help us with any questions we had. We went swimming everyday, did so many activities in each destination (my favourite was the canyoning). Unfortunately, due to weather conditions we missed one of the destinations I was excited for but that’s okay!! We still had the best time and were lucky to visit a different destination instead.
- Victoria, 25/06/2025 12:28, Travelled in a Couple
What a memorable experience on the Princeza Diana Cruise. Fantastic food both in taste and freshness. Also, visually pleasing. Attentive customer service by the crew who made sure you knew it was never a bother to ask them for whatever you needed at any time of the day or night. Swim stops were the best! Ports of call were usually long enough to survey the town, go on a short adventure, and sit down to a lovely meal.
- Leslie, 25/06/2025 10:45, Travelled with Friend/s
This trip is the best 7 day trip I have ever done. The crew on Dionis were amazing, Mat’e, Ellis & Eric & Keno keep us safe & sound while sailing, Azra & Eno were amazing with the most delicious food, glad we were biking every day as I’m sure I eat more than I should😂😂 Then our super guides Dora ( the explorer) & Matilda, you couldn’t have done more for us, you were kind & caring with a fantastic sense of humour, thank you so much, loved you girls❤️❤️❤️ the scenery that we saw and the villages, islands we went to were absolutely breathtaking. To anyone thinking about doing this trip, just do it, you won’t regret it❤️❤️
- Clare, 25/06/2025 06:38,
We did the 7 night Elegance cruise from Split to Dubrovnik at the beginning of June. We loved every minute of this experience. The cabins were excellent, very comfy! The food on board was fantastic - especially the lunches! We had 3 courses everyday, but they were the perfect lunch size and so delicious. We had the most wonderful Cruise Director, Anita - she was always so helpful and very personable to all the guests. We loved her briefings of all the stops, we gained so much information. All the other staff on board were very friendly and helpful - we felt very spoilt all week. The Swim stops were just so beautiful - clear blue water and plenty of time to enjoy a fun swim. Each of the Island stops we did were excellent - you could do as much or as little at each stop. Restaurants were easy to find and always delicious. I can hardly wait to have the opportunity to do another cruise in the future.

We went with a big group of friends and had the best time. The boat (Afrodita) was super clean and nice. Staff were also super nice. Andrej the bar tender was incredible, he really made an effort to get to know and connect with everyone on the boat. Nour was really nice and active in the WhatsApp chat to answer any of our questions. I think it would be better if the plan for the day was more clear and sent first thing in the morning so that we could plan accordingly. A few people wanted to do kayaking on the first day but unfortunately there weren’t enough numbers. If this was communicated better, I believe more people would have joined so that it went ahead instead of being cancelled. It would have also been good if Nour initiated more group interactions on the boat e.g. introductions, games and setting up activities such as karaoke. I also feel like there could be more/longer swim stops as we spent the days doing activities. Overall we had a great time, would definitely recommend!

Loved every aspect of this cycling vacation abord the Emanuel boat: a well coordinated, helpful and energetic crew, comfortable and well maintained boat/amenities, delicious meals, a well planned itinerary, and amazing Ebikes! We were lucky to have the perfect weather all week for cycling and visiting, and had the friendliest group of travellers on board! Croatia is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. Hoping to return in a near future. Thanks to the Sail Croatia team for making this trip a memorable one!

We had a great trip in June 2025. We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik on the boat Tempera (an older vessel, built in 2014). Our cabin was on the lower deck. We did have a few issues with our cabin. When we checked in, one of the beds was not made up. This was not a major issue, as we made it up ourselves. Additionally, the toilet in our cabin was running, so we alerted the crew, who advised us to flush the toilet in a specific manner. This helped, but it did not solve the problem, as the toilet still ran intermittently. The TV in our room did not work. Upon speaking to other guests, this was a common issue. The main issue was that the cabin smelled like sewage one evening. We spoke to the crew, who mentioned that a tank needed to be emptied. They emptied the tank, but again, if they could have emptied the tank in advance to prevent this from occurring, it would have improved our experience. The crew was friendly, fun, and helpful. The itinerary was great, and we loved the swim stops.

This was my first solo holiday and from the initial welcome by Calum to the wonderful landscapes and food it was just a joyful experience. I always wanted to visit Croatia and whole team on the boat made it something I will never forgot. Well planned routes, safety guidance and supportive comments from Ivica to get me up the hills on to the hybrid bike. Can’t stop telling everyone about it. Hope to be back again. 😃

The entire crew for our Sail Croatia trip had endless energy and created more than a trip-they built a Sail Croatia Family. The bike rides were tailored to the group.
