Incredible week on Contessa

My husband and I just wrapped up an incredible 7-day cruise on the Contessa with Sail Croatia and we highly recommend it. We really enjoyed the boat itself along with the other guests and the crew! The group vibe was a fun mix of active, like-minded people. Huge praise for the crew who made the trip unforgettable. Marin (the Cruise Director) was fun and full of great local insights. As amateur boaters, we were thoroughly impressed by Captain's Slavko's navigational skills in those small coves and trusted his decisions to adjust. Thanks Joy, the bar team and Tino, the Boat Hand as well. The island stops were stunning. We enjoyed the swim stops, an ad-hoc bike ride across the island of Korcula, the village tour with a longtime resident among many. One tiny improvement - we thought there would be more active activities such as kayaking from the boat. However, that didn't take away from the great week!

Recommend the Incognito

The Incognito was perfect for the 5 of us (all adults). The sails and rigging worked perfectly. The boat was clean and well equipped.

Awesome experience

We had a fabulous skipper Leenda who made the whole trip so easy and had fantastic suggestions. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, we loved every moment. Having a Cat for the trip was great with 3 couples as it had lots of space inside and out.

Best Ever Sailing

Three couples on board a 40ft Cat and we had a great time. It was made especially good by the skills and knowledge of our skipper Linda. She knew all the best restaurants, places to go and things to see. Her skill at handling the boat was without fault.

Compliments to the captain and crew of the Contessa

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the Contessa. The ship is very comfortable and the crew very competent and kind. I am sorry I don’t have names of everyone, but they were all so nice and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. Marin was our host and guide. He did a great job. He was welcoming, helpful, and full of information. He checked in regularly on how we were doing and whether we needed anything. he is very patient, friendly and calm. Our cruise on the Contessa was from September 23-30. Thank you all for making it. I truly memorable week.

Amazing experience

We were on the Katarina 7 day Sail Croatia cruise. It was extremely organized, had wonderful food and service, amazing attentive staff and a very competent captain. I think I am ruined from doing any large cruise ship vacations from now on! The cabins were well cared for and cleaned daily, the water was hot in the showers. The staff was attentive to any food aversions or allergies. The service felt very personalized as if they knew who each of us were and which cabin we were in. We got to know the other passengers well and it was enjoyable sharing meals and sailing time with them. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Amazing Trip!

Absolutely incredible, even with the weather not as warm as we'd hoped, the skipper, mate, the old towns, and everywhere the skipper recommended were amazing! Linda knew all the right spots, stops, and could park the Julie like it was a Volkswagon Bug, even in the wind. Our mate, Iona, cooked some amazing meals as well, took inventory of what we liked to eat, and shopped at each spot to cater to our needs. All-time family trip!

Birthday cruise through the islands of Croatia

We traveled with a small group of friends and had such a great experience. The stops in various swim coves were a fun way to start the day and excursions offered in the various historic cities were excellent! We want to commend our crew because they were very likable and open to us like a family on the ship.

Cycling cruise onboard Mali luka

We had an amazing time on our Sail Croatia trip! The entire crew was consistently helpful, welcoming, and cheerful, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel well looked after. Sasa and Andro were outstanding guides—knowledgeable about every destination, fun to be around, attentive to everyone’s needs, and genuinely caring throughout the trip. Their energy and expertise made each day memorable, and we would highly recommend this experience and give it the highest rating.

Explore Cruise Was Exceptional

We cruised with two other couples in late September on the Contessa and it was absolutely awesome! The weather was perfect. The food was great. The other travelers were so much fun and our tour director Marin went over and above to make our time incredible. Be flexible - we couldn't do Vela Luka and we didn't get to dock in Split but we were able to take an Uber there from Trogir for several hours and Makarska was a great substitute port.

Big Blue Forever!

My Sail Croatia week was absolutely unforgettable! To waking up every morning to the gentle rock of the boat and crystal clear waters to jump into, to the nights out full of laughter with my Big Blue family, I will always remember my crazy cool week on Big Blue! Spending a week with such a genuine, fun, energetic and joyful group, many of whom actually grew up in the same town and went to the same school as me, was such a highlight of my time in Europe that I will never forget. Our guide Naomi was absolutely phenomenal, she genuinely made our experience and made our boat feel like the most chaotic (in the best way) family that I am so glad to be a part of– we are still in contact a few months later! Her genuine care for us, the time she took to get to know each person, her zest for life, passion for always having fun, and love for not only her job but the world around her always shone through. Thank you Sail Croatia for a week in the sun I’ll be telling people about for years to come!

CHALLENGE

Great crew - waiters Lucy and Geordie were great , always friendly, great attitudes . Chef made some really nice meals ; best gnocchi ever ! There were other crew that assisted us at various times , but did not get their names Guides Borna and Andre took good care of us and were very patient and professional . They regaled us with the history of where we were cycling . Sone of the most beautiful mountains I have ever cycled on - scenery was breathtaking! This trip really tested my stamina . The cabins need updating ; , new mattresses and pillows ;were just not comfortable. I would recommend this bike/boat trip to someone who wants a challenge

Hard to top

Every thing about our cruise was brilliant. The food ( thanks Bane and Marko) and Joy was the stealthiest housemaid you’ could ever meet she’s like magic. Petra and Neno our bar staff looked after us very well, nothing was a problem. Tino and Charlie the deckies had a great sense of humour and were always up for a chat. Marin our main man coordinated everything we did. Excursions, swim stops anything and everything, if you needed anything he could arrange it. From Dubrovnik to Split via some amazing places shared with others from around the world who are now friends like I said would be hard to top. Thanks everyone.

Mrs

We had a great time.. the staff couldn’t have been more caring. The food was delicious. The tour guides were brilliant, adapting to problems with ease and maturity. They had a great sense of humor, without losing strength in situations that could have been stressful. A real pleasure to be on board for the week and learn so much about the Croatian Culture. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Sail Croatian Bike Tour. Cheers Kathy

Highlight of our Holiday

We had an unforgettable week on Contessa with Marin and all the beautiful crew made our holiday so special. We had a fabulous bunch of people who are more like family now and everyone was up for a great experience. Our itinerary was altered but the captain made decisions only to enhance our adventure. Our swim stops were magic in the bluest of blue water. Joy & Petra were absolute sweeties and Nano would always make sure we were happy and had what we needed. Tino & Charlie worked non stop maintaining the boat and the food couldn’t not have been better or more varied by Bane & Marlo. 5 stars all round, would definitely recommend

- Jo, 02/10/2026 17:35, Travelled in a Couple

So much fun

The Explorer cruise was highly recommended by family and did not disappoint! The staff and crew were excellent, the food amazing and the excursions super fun. Being a small cruise you get to know your fellow travellers which adds so much more to the experience. The daily swim spots in the crystal blue water are a definite bonus. We truly loved this cruise!

Excellent boat, cruise , staff & location.

We so enjoyed our week on Contessa ! Beautiful boat, rooms were very clean & comfy, the cruise location sites superb. Delicious food was very freshly prepared by Bane & Marco. Marin made us feel that nothing was a problem & he coordinated & organised all our trips on & off the boat perfectly. Petra & Neno were always there all day with friendly smiles at the bar for drinks or coffee. Our rooms were cleaned & fresh towels by Joy. Tino & Charlie were there to look after the boat & sailing as well as always there for a chat with a smile. Great memories of a Croatia islands cruise as well as the other guests being the best you would want to sail with. Have made many new friends !!

Fabulous Guides on Sail Croatia Cycle Cruise

Natasa and Mario were excellent guide for our week long cycle and sail cruise. They were both very knowledgeable, providing interesting information and guidance for our travels. Both guides were well organized and skilled at presenting materials in an entertaining fashion. Peter, our server was also very friendly, personable and helpful. Natasa went out of her way to assist me which was greatly appreciated. All three staff members made our week most memorable and enjoyable. Thank you Natasa , Mario and Peter!

Mali Ante Sail Croatia e-bike tour

Our e-bike experience and cruise aboard the Mali Ante exceeded our expectations. First off, the crew was amazing and first rate in their attentiveness and accommodation. The food was outstanding and I tip my hat to chef Kole and Tonya…. The tour guides Tony and Augustin made every ride a joy and insured we stopped at the best view points, providing history of the area and of course cafe rest stops. Safety was their priority and they took great care of us all. I highly recommend this tour.

So much fun from beginning to end. Our director Marin was energetic, friendly, efficient, helpful and always smiling. My room was larger than i anticipated with lots of storage. Our housemaid, Joy, kept the room clean. Chef Zeljana Bane Marko prepared decadent, healthy, tasty meals. Captain Slavko navigated a safe passage. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the coffee.

Best experience of my life

I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world. Honestly, I’d live on the Contessa with this incredible crew if I could! This was my first solo trip, and as the only solo traveler onboard, I was nervous—but I never once felt alone. A huge shoutout to Marin, who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. He sat with me at lunches, was there whenever anyone needed him, and his knowledge and love for Croatia made the experience even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better ship leader (and he’d literally give you the hoodie off his back!). Petra & Nano were the BEST bartenders—sweet, fun, always joining our games and delivering drinks wherever we were. Tino & Charlie kept us safe, helped at every swim stop, and kept the music flowing. Captain Slavko was incredible and such a pleasure to get to know. Joy kept our rooms spotless, and Bane & Marko made some of the best meals of my entire Europe trip! Truly first-class service and an unforgettable crew, I hope to be back soon!

The Best Way to Experience Croatia!

We booked the Explorer cruise aboard the Contessa for our honeymoon, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. The ship was beautiful, the Croatian coast was breathtaking, and every stop seemed better than the last. What made the trip truly unforgettable were the people. We were blown away by how welcoming, kind, and gracious the Croatian people and the entire Contessa crew were. A huge shoutout to Captain Slavko, Petra, Neno, Tino, Charlie, Joy, Kristijana, Zeljana, Bane, and Marko. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to make us feel at home and by the end of the week they felt more like friends than crew. Our tour manager, Marin is truly the best of the best. His energy, personality, knowledge, and genuine care for everyone onboard made an already amazing trip even better. If Marin is working your cruise you’ve won the lottery! We couldn’t have imagined a better honeymoon. We made lifelong memories and friendships that we’ll carry with us always. BOOK THE TRIP!!!

Great way to see Dalmatian Coast.

My husband and I loved the yacht and visiting the different locations along the coast. Every location was a little bit different, but all were beautiful. The common areas of the boat were never crowded and the daily swim stops were great. The cabin was spacious enough and remarkably quiet (lower deck). Our representative, Vicko, was so informative and humorous with his daily breifings of our itinerary, some history, and cultural tips. The wait staff/bartenders were so helpful and attentive. While generally, the food was good, I was a bit disappointed in their "accommodation" for our dietary needs. I told the booking agent before we booked about our dietary needs and she assured me it would be no problem. We verified this again shortly before the trip. We felt like our request was not fully conveyed to the chef and people supplying provisions on the boat, so it seemed like our alternative meals were kind of afterthoughts. The food did not measure up to the price of the trip.

Our Unforgettable Sail Croatia Experience Contessa Sept 23rd to the 30th 2026

My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience. It was an outstanding trip, and traveling with our group of 10—and getting to know the other passengers—made it even more special. The Contessa was beautiful, but the crew is what truly made this trip unforgettable. Marin, our Tour Director, was wonderful and always attentive and helpful. Neno and Petra were fantastic, always friendly and welcoming. Tito and Charlie, our sailors, worked incredibly hard and always made us feel safe and well cared for. Captain Slavko was outstanding, and Joy kept everything spotless. A special thank-you to Kristijana Zeljana, our Boat Manager and the "Mom" of the boat. She made everyone feel like family. And our chefs, Blane and Marko, prepared some absolutely wonderful meals. Every member of the crew went above and beyond. We came aboard as passengers and left feeling like friends. Croatia was beautiful, but the crew made the trip truly unforgettable. We will always treasure the memories.

Phenomenal

Sailing and biking Croatia’s islands was incredibly special for its scenery, culture, food, aromas, waters and villages. But, it was Andro and Saša who made it phenomenal. The pair of them have a way of collaborating and connecting that was naturally easygoing, humorous and informative, all at once. Croatia and Andro and Saša made it a cultural and personal experience of a lifetime. Phenomenal.

Great week on the Dalmatian Coast

We had a wonderful week boating and biking; note the use of the word boating vs sailing. There were no sails and I was somewhat disappointed and I think the company should make this clear from the onset! That said, it was a great experience. Staff was exceptional, food was really good and we had an exceptional chef who clearly loves what he does. I would have loved to have biked longer routes or maybe a couple of rides offered per day to the overzealous types on board Great way to see the coast, visit some amazing historical sites, all without packing/unpacking frequently. Highly recommend this outfit for cruising, swimming and biking the Dalmatian coast. Weather was beautiful all week !!!

The staff on the Esperanza Elegance Tour went above and beyond to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The captain chose the most beautiful calm places for our daily swims and made the best of the day we could not go into our designated port due to weather. The food was great and the chef was so accommodating to everyone's dietary restrictions/preferences. Most importantly the people we met were the absolute best and we hung out together in Dubrovnik even after the cruise ended. We made some lifetime friends we hope to travel with more in the future!

Sail & Bike Trip - just AWESOME

We just had a week on Sail Croatia’s ship Columbus & a biking tour through a small sample of the stunning Dalmatian coasts islands. Although a little apprehensive to start, Marin & Lauren, our fantastic guides, settled us all right in. They shared a load of local knowledge & ensured our bike route was challenging in sections but safe & hugely enjoyable – absolutely recommend an e-bike. The scenery is stunning & photos don’t do it justice. Our group started as 32 strangers but quickly turned to 32 friends, with sooo many laughs. Along with the guides, the crew & chefs were amazing turning our great meals & looking after us along the way. The trip absolutely exceeded our expectations & would thoroughly recommend.

We just returned from our trip of a lifetime and want to recommend Sail Croatia to anyone considering it. Equal parts adventure and fun made even more enjoyable by the group of friends we travelled with and the group of perfect strangers who felt like friends we've known forever by the end of the trip. Most importantly, we were led, educated and kept safe by Marin and Lauren. Here's to photo stops, conga lines, cheering for Carl, skinny cigarettes, new friends and "undulations"!

Spectacular Dalmatian Serenity sailing

We had the most fantastic week on a yacht charter out of Split on the yacht Serenity. There were four of us, two couples, plus the fantastic Luka and Simona. Luka and Simona looked after us fabulously and provided us with the most diverse and memorable week, They are terrific at what they do- so much thought from them went into every aspect of the trip, from the sailing to the range of bouys, marinas, restaurants, scooters, e bikes and places to stop, relax, swim and soak up the beautiful Croatian coast. We visited and stayed at several islands during the week including Brac, Hvar and Vis. In doing so we discovered beautiful bays to anchor, swim and enjoy delicious food they prepared for us; had an e bike and scooter trips around parts of Vis and Hvar which provided some contrast and variety to life on the yacht. The yacht is very comfortable and has all the comforts you could wish for. It was a spectacular week and will live long in our memories. Thank you.

The cruise gave us a taste for Croatia that we want to go back to, beautiful clear crystal waters and historical villages with a personalised touch. Dino our cruise director was outstanding briefing us once our twice a day plus constant updates on whatsapp with tips and suggestions and was always available to book restaurants or to answer questions. The boat was spotless and our rooms and bathrooms spacious. The pace of the cruise was great with enough time to relax and free time at shore to see the sights., With a fun group of only 33 guests on board everyone got along. Would recommend to anyone.

7 nights on Valerie with 7 friends

This was a remarkable experience. Our skipper and host were amazing. Weather was perfect. Our catamaran was comfortable and large enough for our group of 8 (plus 2 crew). Our host kept us fed well, and he, along with the skipper, gave us great recommendations on each island, swim stops, bike routes, hikes. Our active group of 8 had a great mix of relaxation time, social time, physical activities, and history and culture time. I would 1000% recommend this trip to anyone.

Iain

We spent a week on Slice of Heaven and had a super holiday on a one way trip from Dubrovnik to Split and enjoyed every day. This was largely due to the size and excellent layout of the boat, the delightful scenery, the islands and ports we visited, as well as the excellent service from the crew, Toni and Matea. Toni has a great sense of humour and his understanding of English is excellent. He has an infectious smile and nothing is too much of a problem for him - he is a very capable and competent captain as well as being an entertaining and informative companion. Matea is a lovely lady, a fantastic hostess and her cooking, choice of dishes, as well her presentation of all her food was first class. Both are a real asset to the company and they made the holiday so easy to enjoy. I would be very happy to sail with them both again! I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone wanting a fantastic weeks sailing in Croatia.

Had an excellent time. The guides were professional and friendly and did an excellent job navigating the changes needed due to weather. The crew as well as the captain was friendly and helpful. The rides were challenging since I didn’t have an e-bike but I had lots of support from everyone. Be aware there are many climbs at 10% and a few easy rides with easier hills.

Great exercise, great experience.

I had a great time on my Sail Croatia bicycle cruise. The rides were all very doable on the e-bikes for all levels of riders. You can make it challenging and taxing or let the bike do most of the work and enjoy the scenery. Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and brought everyone together. The food was good and plentiful, and the boat was comfortable and clean. The rides allow you to visit and experience parts of the islands that you would never see on a standard cruise. From historical sites to out of the way cafes every day brought something new. I’m going to recommend this trip to all my friends, most of whom are seniors, as a must do.

Island hopping in Croatia with bunches of wonderful folks

Loved it. Croatian islands are beautiful and Klara and the Esperanza crew were great. Lunch meals were excellent. Swim stops perfect. Very relaxing. Loved the other passengers - from all over the world.

Trip of a Lifetime

What an incredible week! Our Sail Croatia cruise from Dubrovnik to Split was everything we hoped for and more. Travelling with six great friends was special enough, but having Ana and Daniel looking after us made the experience truly extraordinary. Ana was a fantastic skipper, always confident, professional, and eager to help us make the most of every destination. Daniel was equally amazing, constantly making sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and having fun. His wonderful sense of humour kept us smiling all week and made us feel like we were spending time with a friend rather than just a crew member. Together, Ana and Daniel did everything possible to make our "trip of a lifetime" exactly that. We are so grateful for the memories they helped create and would recommend this experience to anyone without hesitation. Thank you both for an unforgettable journey! 🇭🇷❤️🚤

Great trip - get upper cabin

Everything about the cruise and bike riding was five star. Two guides Mario and Natasha were also five star. Food was great although could have had more fish. Captain and boat crew were also great. Getting to know my fellow Canadians, Americans, Aussies and Irish was an hoot. Every one got along great and best part ZERO politics! Only complaint was our lower deck berth as it was very small and stuffy. I ended up coming down with a bad cold and the lower quarters likely made it worse. Book early and pay the up charge for a upper deck berth.

Sail Croatia trip

Awesome. Loved the whole trip. COmmunication was excellent with head office. Pick up efficient. Our skipper was fantastic and informative. She had all the local knowledge for best places to eat. The only thing we didn't realise upfront was that the boat couldn't run a coffee pod machine or aircon without shore power. We thought the coffeee machine would run on 12v but we don't believe that the inverter on board was big enough or the battery bank ? Otherwise fantastic.

Wonderful week on Esperanza, sailing Split to Dubrovnik

Such a wonderful sailing trip!! We spent a week on an Elegance Cruise on the ship Esperanza and couldn’t have hoped for a better holiday. The crew were so friendly and helpful and kept the ship immaculately presented. Klara was our tour leader and had a vivacious and hilarious personality. She was very thorough in the information she provided and ensured everyone and every activity was organised without any issues. We had a perfect balance of relaxation on the sun lounges, swimming and exploring the islands. The ship was spacious and our cabin with ensuite was very comfortable. We were delighted with our first small ship experience and would highly recommend it.

Loved the whole adventure

We had the most amazing week aboard the Princesza Diana and were very impressed with both Josip and Simun who were engaging, entertaining and professional, making our comfort and safety a priority. The ship was lovely, our room more spacious than we expected. The e-bikes were comfortable, although not the Fire brand we expected but they did the job and fitted to our size . We would have preferred slightly more cycling and shorter coffee stops but that’s personal preference. The itinerary of the Split southern loop was very beautiful and all the stops were made better by great recommendations from Josip and Simun. We were also very impressed with the food and service on board. Our room was kept clean and fresh . Sanya in the lounge bar was a credit to the ship, very engaged and charming to all the guests. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Amazing Experience

We had a wonderful week on our catamaran that we chartered through Sail Croatia. It was 3 couples in the group and we got a Skipper but no Hostess. While the entire process was smooth and easy, we particularly enjoyed the Skipper Ante. He was knowledgable, personable and super easy to have around. He engaged those of us who wanted to learn about operating a catamaran, he was helpful with suggestions on where to eat and what to do on each of the stops. Heis recommendations were all excellent without a single fail. He picked our route extremely well and our swim stops were memorable. He was funny and pleasant. The catamaran was comfortable enough. The biggest adjustment was not being able to flush the toilet paper as we are accustomed to the boats (in the US) using special marine toilet paper that is flushable. We chose not to hire a hostess and we made our lunch/snack on the boat every day and ate in town. It was an unforgetable experience and a vacation of a lifetime.

Wonderful. The boat was very clean and well fitted out. Loved the set-up of the upper deck where there was different areas so it made it cosy. Plenty of other areas to sit or sunbathe.

Excellent Guides and Crew

Simun and Josip were absolutely wonderful. Thorough, thoughtful, kind, smart and very good at sharing the history of each location. They knew their audience and gifted us with a delightful cycling tour. Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU both! The crew and boat were wonderful; kind, clean, and fun to be around. Three Suggestions: 1. Create smaller groups (34 riders was too many; felt unsafe at times); 2. Include software SC identified in its pre-departure info (or use an alternative) --- it was neither mentioned, nor used. It would be more fun to save our trips digitally; 3. Include options for additional rides for the days that make sense (listed in the pre-departure info but not used during the trip);

Hana was the most wonderful guide. I was the only solo traveler on my explorer cruise and met the most wonderful people. The average age of the cruise was probably 50-60 but everyone was so kind. Those of us in the younger demographic became fast friends. The food was great, the staff was incredible, and the cruise was one of the best experiences of my life!

Salve de Mare - Sail Croatia

An amazing week sailing the islands of Croatia! From the small island towns to the swim stops to the excursions; Salve made every day a new adventure. The Croatian people are very welcoming and each stop was more beautiful than the next. Weather was absolutely amazing which certainly helped. What pulled it all together was the crew of this boat. The captain was an expert sailor. We felt safe on the sea and his docking skills are amazing. So fun to watch! The variety of food each day was great. How’d they manage to make so much back in that tiny kitchen?! Rooms were well appointed and taken care of nicely. The deck crew was friendly, knowledgable and professional. Our Rep kept us busy and informed every day. Always there to answers to questions and give us great recommendations at every port. Thank you the staff aboard: Frane : our captain - Toma: our Representative - Richie and Tome our sailors - Marco and Vlaho our waiters/bartenders- Rojan and Elana our chefs-Julija our maid

Enjoyable experience!

My wife and I arrived in Dubrovnik 3 days before the cruise. We settled into the local time zone and thoroughly enjoyed the fortified town. We had only been on one previous cruise - on a huge ship. We found the small boat with about 35 guests a lovely size - allowing for some “getting to know” each other that didn’t happen on the big cruise ship. The boat is fantastic. We saw more modern boats but felt no envy. This boat is elegant with its beautiful polished wood. The room was more spacious than we expected, and never jostling for spots to sit/enjoy in the common areas. The stops along the way were delightful, beautiful, interesting. The food was absolutely excellent. Only complaint is about my own lack of restraint!! Our leader, Vedran, was entertaining as all heck. Fun to watch/listen to. Thank you!!

Split to Dubrovnik

The crew were great and the ship was well laid out, very clean and tidy, and well maintained. We missed two destinations we were really looking forward to, the Blue Cave and Mljet island, but no effort was made by Sail Croatia to try and replace these locations with other appropriate destinations. Two destinations we did visit were very poor and of little interest - a walk of an hour allowed you to see all there was, which was not much! There were other blue and emerald caves that we passed on our journey but no effort was made to include these instead. Not a very good outcome and quite disappointing.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you found the crew great and the ship clean, well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. We’re sorry you were disappointed to miss the Blue Cave and Mljet, particularly as these were destinations you were looking forward to. While itinerary changes can occasionally be necessary due to weather, sea conditions and local operating circumstances, we appreciate that alternative stops may not always feel comparable to those originally planned. Unfortunately, other caves along the route are not necessarily suitable or accessible for our vessels or able to be substituted at short notice. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry these changes impacted your overall experience.

Best way to see Dalmatian Islands

This was a beautiful cruise with wonderful swim stops and interesting ports every day. The breakfasts and lunches were very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the boat was kept very clean. There is not a lot of storage in the cabin, given the underbed area is taken up with life jackets. But after a day we had our storage needs figured out. They supply only basic bath amenities so bring your own, including washcloths. The shower was very weak and marginally warm a couple of days, other days it was cool. There were don't enough lines or hooks to hang wet swimwear to dry. The boat is not metal so bringing magnetic hooks doesn't help. This is only one of the very few ways to get to these small island ports. It's well worth the minor foibles on the boat.

Dalmatian Coast and First-Class Service

We chose Sail Croatia’s Elegance trip - Split Return South, in Sept 2026, and it was splendid! The Olimp is a beautiful, spotless ship, and the food and service aboard were both excellent. Anita, our Sail Croatia tour director was awesome, and kept us informed about our ports of call, what to see, available excursions, where to dine, and she even made reservations. First Class service all the way! The Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik is magnificent, and they take you to so many wonderful towns and natural oases in between them. The other great part of our trip was the many friends we made with our fellow travelers - so many interesting people from all over the world.

I heard great things about sail Croatia, even then it didn’t prepare me for the experience I had. Easily best week of my life. Met the most amazing people, saw the most incredible parts of Croatia, it just never looked real. Our skipper looked after us and took us to some exclusive spots which made the experience even more special! One person the boat still talks about to this day, is our host, Joel (JT). We got so lucky to have him assigned to our boat. Made every day fun, kept the vibes high, very high! Made sure we were well informed of where we were and the excursions. Took good care of everyone but also became a good friend. If you ever do this sail and you have JT, mate…. You’re on for the best 7 days of your life I’ll be talking about this trip forever, anyone who’s on the fence about doing it, just do it bro. You won’t regret it Kia Ora

One of our top 5 holidays ever

Whether we just struck gold on this particular boat but this was the most perfect holiday. Our group were all of similar ages & abilities and we'd all opted for e-bikes so the pace didn't stretch anyone and Cal kept us all safe & thoroughly informed. His enthusiasm & friendliness was infectious, Cal you are a credit to the company! Sasha was the other half of the dynamic duo, telling us stories about his beautiful country which he is so knowledgeable and proud of. He was on hand at any time to keep us all happy and certainly performed his role to perfection. The rest of the crew carried out their duties without fuss or drama and the captain was exceptional, even retuning to port at one stage when the weather turned & only set off again when the conditions were safe, thank you. The chef was a magician, the food was better than most restaurant meals that we experienced. Plus we weren't expecting such lavish breakfasts, well done Hope to return in the near future, bravo all

Avica and Diego were so knowledgeable about each of the islands and so made the rides easy for everybody as well as suggesting and organising great outings and meal options for the evenings on the islands.

Fun but issues for sure

The sights and views are amazing, it’s a very beautiful scenic view, other than that there were a lot of issues, shot glasses on boat were never cleaned, they would just repour into the same glasses that were left on the table, very unsanitary, meals were okay most days but we were still worried about the sanitation of that too, our tour guide was awesome, crew was okay, wouldn’t port until after 2-3pm each day which seemed odd too, missed out on a lot of the morning scenes and shows at each stop, our itinerary from the website didn’t match at all to what we actually did, missed 2 of our stops and stayed in another location for 2 days instead of 1, they would blame the weather yet sky’s were clear the whole time, felt trapped on the boat some of the days, forced into “swim stops” that most people were not interested in and wanted to explore Croatia more. Met good people and had some fun besides those hiccups, nice way to see the most of Croatia in a 7 day span

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed Croatia’s incredible scenery, had a great experience with your Representative and met some wonderful people along the way. Small-ship cruises are designed with sailing in the morning, a midday swim stop and arrival into port in the early afternoon, giving guests the afternoon and evening to explore before remaining moored overnight. While this balance of sailing, swimming and exploring is an intentional part of the experience, we appreciate it may not suit everyone. We’re sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the glasses onboard, which we take seriously and will raise with the relevant team. Itinerary changes can also occasionally be necessary due to weather and sea conditions, even when skies appear clear, or port restrictions and availability. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we’re glad you still enjoyed many aspects of your week exploring Croatia.

Biking with a lot of free time

Croatia was beautiful. Adriatic wonderful to swim in. The week’s scheduling was very regimented. The ports we visited had very strict docking times to enter. Caused us to have some awkward pauses or short swims. Wish our guides had taken time on land ion each to show us around a bit. They made lots of suggestions on what’s app .. but that seemed cold. We could have biked more. Last bike was cut very short because guides did not know roadways closed for clearing and cleaning. They should have found an alternative route. Food was fabulous on board. Crew was very professional and helpful. Ship was much more elegant and updated than I expected. Optional farm lunch tour was dissspointing. No interaction with the farm family .. no tour of farm. Just here’s your food. Heard wine tasting was also very disappointing. Don’t offer and push these options if they are not top notch.. . overall this was ok experience. In Croatia. You can do better.. it was Very touristy . . Make more personal..

He put so much effort into planning everything for us, and telling us all about the places we were exploring and he even got Club Deep in Makarska to stay open one more night for us so we could experience it! He did an incredible job and we were so lucky to have him :) Would definitely recommend doing Sail Croatia, it was the best part of our Europe trip!

One of the best weeks ever!

We cannot believe how lucky we were to end up with such a great crew and group on Sail Croatia! Host Augustin (or Tin Tin as we called him) was a pleasure to deal with before we even got on the boat. From Day 1 he made all 23 of us feel welcome and made sure no one was left out. He explained the history of every location we visited, organised activities and dinners for the entire group when we couldn’t decide, and was always available to answer questions or fix any issues with our cabins. By the end of the week, he had brought an entire ship of strangers together as friends thanks to his hard work. Bartender Mateo was always attentive and he would be serving you within 3 seconds of putting your hand up for a drink. He was also always willing to clean up spills without complaint when things got rowdy. Marko the Chef was an amazing cook, and breakfast and lunch were always delicious! Tin Tin and the crew of Mlini rock, and future groups will be lucky to be served by them!

It was a fantastic week. The staff took such good care of us. Jelena, Max, Andrej and Borna and the chef and Captain and his wife were so pleasant and thoughtful. The other travelers were great too and I felt like I was leaving with a boatload of new friends.

An amazing experience!!!

This trip on board the ship Contessa was an experience me and my husband will never forget!!! The activities director, Calum (Cal) was a GEM!! If anyone needed something, he was always on it. He was a joy to everyone of us! He was full of information, really fun to be around, kind, not lacking in personality- I think we got the best of the best!! The whole crew was AMAZING!!! The rooms were beautifully done! The whole ship had recently been remodeled and it was perfect. The islands we visited were breathtaking and we couldn’t have been on this ship with better passengers either!! What a FUN group!!! It seems like we became family and it was really hard to say goodbye, in fact I got teary. We didn’t want it to end!!! We LOVED EVERYTHING about those 7 VERY SPECIAL days!!! Thank you for this incredible experience!!

Great way to see Croatia

We enjoyed our holiday on Sail Croatia. The boat was beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable. Croatia has some of the most beautiful water we have ever experienced, and the swim stops were fantastic for enjoying it (apart from a couple areas that were too rough to go in). The crew work hard to ensure passengers are safe and happy. Only con was the quality of food. Reading previous reviews, we were looking forward to amazing meals and unfortunately we did not find it met our expectations. Breakfast was acceptable and did not vary from day to day. The coffee was pretty awful, and you did not want to get the bottom of the carafe as you would be seeing a dark sludge at the bottom of your cup. Lunches were varied, but some issues as well. Some meals were just luke warm, the chicken breast served one day was tough, and the Captain's dinner was small portions. Overall, it was a great way to see Croatia in a short amount of time.

Amazing trip

This was an amazing trip! Everyone on the crew was wonderful! Sasa was the best, He kept us updated on the details of each day and did everything to make us happy and comfortable. His knowledge and passion for his country showed as we toured the islands! Calum was great. He gave detailed descriptions of our bike rides and what to expect. They both made the trip extra fun.. when weather affected our rides, Calum and Sasa made sure we were notified and new plans made. The entire crew was attentive and friendly. We loved every minute of the trip and the enthusiasm from the crew made it extra special. Croatia is beautiful!!

Cycle cruise

Fabulous. Lots of exercise for sure. We are regular cyclists and found some of the hills gruelling as we were on regular bikes. Would actually recommend ebike rental as 80per cent of group had them. The crew was very friendly and food was delicious. If you like to be active this is the vacation for you.

Best Trip Ever

Where do I even begin! My cousin and I booked our Sail Croatia trip not knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be an absolutely incredible experience! A huge part of that was thanks to the wonderful Joel (JT). His service, knowledge and genuine care for every guest were outstanding. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he made everyone feel so welcome, comfortable and included throughout the entire sail. I’m a Village Manager in the mining industry, working in hospitality, so I certainly know great service when I see it -and JT is truly exceptional. More than just an amazing host, JT made a genuine impact on me personally. He encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone, try new things and make the most of every moment. I’m incredibly grateful for the memories and the positive impact he had on my trip. Sail Croatia is very lucky to have someone like JT. Thank you for making our experience unforgettable! ❤️⛵️

Fantastic Sail Croatia Experience

Our Sail Croatia trip was fantastic! The boat and itinerary were excellent, and the food on board was absolutely delicious. Calum and Sasa were wonderful tour managers who always had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do, while making sure we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. The entire boat crew also deserves a huge thank you for how hard they worked every day to make the experience so enjoyable and memorable.

Good times sailing on the Mali Luka and riding!

First time doing this type of a holiday and I would highly recommend it! Sasa and Cullum were simply the best guides!! Both of them were really approachable if you had any questions!! They made the whole riding experience so much fun!! Crew on the boat were awesome as well, Captain certainly did a good job keeping us safe when the weather wasn’t so good!! Only negative for me was cold showers last couple of days on the boat!!

Mali Luka cycle sail Sept 16/26

The experience on a whole was excellent. The guides Sasa and Callum were outstanding and worked well as a team. They had to make some unexpected changes to the itinerary which worked out well. The crew on the Mali Luka we also top notch and very friendly. I have one bad thing to mention. 3 days of the trip had no hot water for showers. Also our shower head would not hold on the wall making for awkward use. Other than that we had the best time!

We were on the Mlini in early September and it was the best trip ever! All of the excursions were super fun especially the canyoning! Bruno, Mateo, and the chef were incredible!! 10000000/10 recommend

- Amber, 26/09/2026 14:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Good Overall

The crew and our tour guide were great and very helpful. It would be helpful if they published better details about the daily flow of their cruises to help manage expectations about time on the boat vs exploring the various port locations. For example you dock in each port overnight and the yacht moves in the morning to the next location with a swim stop each morning. You dock at the next port during lunch and then explore tge port during the hottest part of the day and into the night. Breakfast Buffett was varied and solid. Lunches were not great and the biggest miss for my group.

A wonderful week on the Adriatic

The 6 of us (three couples) had an incredible week on Kingfisher hosted by Ante and Nika. The boat, although not the newest, was lovely and a perfect size for the 6 of us. What made the week special were Ante and Nika our skipper and host! Ante was our skipper, tour guide and sailing instructor, understanding interests and taking us to some incredible, and often quieter, destinations. Nika was an excellent chef, preparing breakfast and lunch for us every day, and teaching me Croatian in her free time. We had three vegetarians in our group and despite, not having hosted many vegetarians before, Nika quickly worked out what we liked and ensured we always had great food! The crew really made the difference between us having a good time and an amazing time on this trip and we'd highly recommend both Sail Croatia and Ante and Nika!

Croatian cycle holiday

What an experience. We were looked after from the time we made our reservations till we disembarked. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to assist onboard. Safety was the captains priority as he always tried to avoid bad weather situations. Our tour guide Josko ensured fantastic rides with spectacular scenery. Oh, please go with the E-bike option.

Thank you to all the staff and Captain of the boat, everyone was bery helpful and upbeat, nothing was to much trouble. Our guides Calum and Sasa were amazing everything ran perfectly, they were a great double act kept us smiling and laughing the whole week. Kept us on schedule and safe every ride, we loved Sasa’s local history stories!! The optional excursions were fun and worth doing , it was great to go out with the group. The electric bikes were high quality, well maintained and easy to operate. Croatia is beautiful, we loved all the Islands we visited. We would certainly travel with sale Croatia again.

Could not have been better, we had such great staff especially Tin Tin who from the start just made you feel so welcomed and excited. He did so much behind the scenes for us and has left us with such a great experience. The staff were so fun and Mateo who was our bartender was also great. Very polite and great bartender.

TIN TIN IS THE BEST

can’t put into words how much Augustine (Tin Tin) made this trip one to never forget!! He was so beautiful, kind, thoughtful and funny. His efforts did not go unnoticed, he was constantly working behind the scenes to ensure we all had the best possible time. The Mlini crew was a beautiful bunch as well! They were all so hardworking and kind. I was very blessed with such an incredible team

An Adriatic delight

Just finished a week in the Adriatic island hoping on the Contessa. Immersed ourselves in the history, the culture, new acquaintances and of course the clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. Walks along the ancient water fronts, dinners in quaint seaside restaurants, slow cruising on the MV contessa and all being looked after by our crew. We can not thank the crew enough for making our journey that extra bit special. Marin our tour guide always keeping us informed of the day ahead, Nano and Petra our table service and drinks crew, the Captain, Tino and Charlie for keeping the boat pointing in the right direction and making sure of a safe passage, Joy for servicing our rooms to the highest standard and the many behind the scenes crew for our meals and boat management. I highly recommend the Contessa and her crew if you are ever considering an Adriatic small cruise.

Outstanding Week

Captain Antonio and his crew of Columbo kept us safe as we navigated between ports and unloaded/loaded bikes. The tuna steak for the Captain’s dinner was fantastic! The views were outstanding. Lauren and Marin were excellent, they kept us safe on the roads and gave us a good idea of what to expect each day and gave us Croatian history lessons - each island was unique and special. Lauren gave us a wide variety of things to do and places to eat on each one. Thanks to Yakov for his great service at the bar - cheers! Special thanks to Mike for his leadership 😀 The highlight of the week was all of our fellow bikers. We had an awesome group that was fun to get to know and enjoy some meals, drinks, swims, and rides. Special shout out to our own Karaoke night and especially Alice and the other new songs! The meals were really good, and they went above and beyond for gluten free pescatarian. The accommodations worked well for us, didn’t spend much time in our cabin except to shower/sleep.

Unforgettable week!

We had such a great week on the Contessa. The daily swim stops in the crystal clear water were a highlight. Also renting bikes on the islands to explore and swim. The boat is beautiful and the rooms so spacious. Loved the upper deck with lots of room to sit and relax. Highly recommend this boat and gong in September for comfortably warm weather. The staff really made the experience wonderful. Marin, our Sail Croatia rep, made sure everything was taken care of and that we had the best time. Thanks to Joy, Petra, Neno, Tino and Charlie for your friendly smiles and for making sure we had everything we needed!

Great bike boat tour

We had a fantastic time on our Sail Croatia cycling tour from Split to Dubrovnic. Our guides, Lauren, Marin and the entire crew made our cycling tour in Croatia an incredible experience! Special thanks to Lauren and Marin for keeping us safe and comfortable on the rides while making each day special with our daily island "storytime with Lauren" as Marin proudly shared his extensive knowledge of the islands and history of Croatia. Their suggestions for things to do and dining options were greatly appreciated. We’ll have wonderful memories of Croatia and this amazing adventure for years to come!

MS Contessa

We felt welcome and so comfortable from the moment we met Marin on the dock prior to boarding. Nothing was too much trouble for Marin and his knowledge of the local area was fantastic. The boat itself is beautifully fitted out with everything you would need as your home away from home. The food was spectacular. The company amazing. Our crew (Marin, Petra, Neno, Tino, Charlie, Bane marko and Joy) made the trip so enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone even remotely considering Croatia as a holiday destination. It’s a great way to see the islands and beautiful swimming bays in style.

This was one of the best vacations we have taken. The combination of biking through the islands with amazing tour guides Saša and Callum, sailing on Mali Luka with skilled crew and Captain Ivan, eating fabulous authentic Croatian food prepared by chef Neno, and relaxing with new friends….perfection! This is not a luxury cruise, but the crew and itinerary more than made up for it.

Cycle/sail Split to Dubrovnik

We did seven nights with sail Croatia on a premium ship - which isn’t really premium. The crew and guides were amazing and the cycling really enjoyable. For the price the boat and the food were not of a standard you would rate anywhere near premium. It’s a great experience but if you’re a couple or a little older (over 50) this probably won’t be what you’re expecting.

Average Experience

The crew and guides for sale Croatia were fantastic. Cal and Sasha, our bike guides, were helpful and fun. The biking was the highlight of the trip. The bikes were high quality. the captain clearly had the safety of the passengers as his top priority. In contrast, simple conveniences were not available. The bathrooms did not contain soap in the shower. Clean towels were only provided once during the week. And storage space and electrical sockets were sparse in the cabin. Also bike bags for carrying personal items like rain jackets… we’re not provided. For the final 24 hours - hot water was not available on the boat. Many extra fees were required during the tour eg bikes through a national forest required additional euros. The food on the boat was average - most of the meats were overcoooked.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

We did the navigator cruise (w ensuite) and had an amazing 7 days onboard Mlini. We were so blessed with an awesome group and an amazing boat crew (Captain, Mateo, Frane & Marco). The highlight of the cruise was by far our AMAZING, FABULOUS and BEAUTIFUL guide Tin Tin 🫶❤️ Tin Tin’s knowledge of everywhere we went including suggestions of places to eat, dance or explore was next level. Tin Tin was such a positive vibe the entire trip and everyone most definitely fell in love with him, he is an absolute superstar and Sail Croatia are extremely lucky to have Tin Tin. This was my second Sail Croatia cruise and I can honestly say I will never forget this one. Friendships, memories, the crew onboard and my brother Tin Tin made it all an unforgettable cruise and I cannot recommend enough. 100/10 ⭐️

The crew were incredible and always there whenever we needed anything, a huge shoutout to Tin Tin and Mateo! 🫶🏼 The swim stops were so much fun, and we loved all the excursions too. This was my second time on the Mlini boat, and it’s safe to say I’d absolutely come back for a third time!

Dalmatia is beautiful on a bike!

First experience of cycling by cruise was a learning experience but mostly positive. Rides & bikes excellent, group & information managed really well by our guides. Unfortunately there was an issue with our boat and appreciate a last minute switch by Sail Croatia to keep holiday moving meant few issues. Ship was smaller so a cabin change, dining space cramped, guides were tired & stressed as unable to stay on boat with us. Food was ok but no lighter choices like salad before an afternoon of cycling.

Biking through the islands was trip-of-a-lifetime incredible with amazing vistas and exposure to culture we could not have experienced otherwise. The only disappointment was we paid for a premium ship and due to some issue with our ship Sail Croatia had to contract a smaller ship with less comforts and it was too small for the number of passengers.

The experience, sell Croatia on the ship. Contessa was amazing. The crew did a fantastic job. Marin was a great cruise director. Bartenders Petra and Neno were awesome.

Wonderful experience

Everything about the trip was fabulous. The only complaint I have is the lack of hot water for a shower on 3 occasions. The first time I blamed it on everyone taking a shower at the same time, but the other two were late in the evening and first thing in the morning. Certainly nothing to ruin the trip, but something I felt you should be aware of. The guides and boat crew were amazing and friendly. I would highly recommend this trip!

It was amazing from start to finish! The entire crew was incredible, all our wants and needs were exceeded,! Food was great and all the biking was even better than we thought it would be! The only thing that was an issue was no hot water on our last day before departure!

Highly recommended

Our sail and cycle tour was excellent. The tour guides, Cal and Sasa, were well prepared, organized, engaging and a lot of fun. The rides were excellent and very scenic. It was nice when we stopped along the way and we heard a bit about the region which helped us better understand Croatian culture. The captain, Ivan, and his crew were great and very helpful as well. The food was good and there was lots of it. Our server, Matej, was very good and made sure we had lots to eat and drink during our trip. I will say that having no hot water for a shower on the last night and final day was not good, but that would be my only complaint in an other wise fabulous week. Highly recommended!

Excellent!

An amazing bike and yacht trip with superb guides and boat mates… felt safe and cared for at every step of the way: food, drinks, service, fantastic bike rides with history provided along the way were all above and beyond expectations. Thank you so much for an incredible holiday!!

Amazing Croatian Islands and Coast!

A dsily cycling excursion is the best way to experience the beauty of Croatia. I would highly recommend this trip. The E-Bike makes all routes and overlooks accessible. The swim stops from the boat and the beach were also pristine.

Amazing!

Our trip to Croatia was incredible. We wanted to give special recognition to Anita, our cruise manager! She was organized, shared helpful knowledge about the places we were visiting and truly made everything so easy for us. All we had to do was be there and enjoy the time. The service of our entire crew was top notch. Each member was very pleasant and provided world class service. We would highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Incredible taste of Croatia

Amazing holiday led by Bruno and the crew aboard the Mlini! Split to Dubrovnik is an excellent route where we had plenty of time to swim and explore the towns as well as find out all about Croatia’s coast as we sailed on by. Could not recommend highly enough!

Best week ever

Had the best week ever travelling with sail Croatia. Met so many new friends and partied hard every night. Our trip manager Johnny was amazing and our crew were awesome as well. Would 100% recommend.

Best vacation I’ve had in years

My husband and I just returned from a seven day Croatian cruise aboard the Olimp yacht. We have been on several cruise ships traveling different routes-aboard different largerships, and this was the first time we chose a small, more intimate ship. It was just the two of us so we were nervous going in, but we’ve never had a better experience. From our incredible tour guide Anita to the captain and his amazing crew onboard, all expectations were exceeded. We had never been to Croatia before, and it was helpful to have an educated tour guide that guided us to explore the country safely and provided quality tours so that we could learn more about the country’s history and beauty. As an added bonus, the people we met on the ship were fantastic. We made what I hope will be lifelong friends. The intimate lunches and excursions provided a great opportunity to get to know people better and I am forever grateful!

Lower Cabin Beware

The staff, food, and itinerary were wonderful, and Croatia is a beautiful country. We were, however highly disappointed by the size and quality of the lower cabin. We are a couple in our 60’s and we were shocked to be assigned the smallest of rooms with a bunk bed. Nowhere online were photos of this room available or advertised. If we had known the room would be so small, musty smelling, and damp we never would have booked a lower cabin. In fact, we were the first of 22 friends to book and this was the room assigned to us!! We were also quite frustrated by not being told the name of our ship until two days before boarding. It felt like bait and switch being assigned the Mali Luka when it didn’t look anything like the ships advertised on the Sail Croatia website. We absolutely feel that the size and condition of the cabin did not warrant the price we paid, Customers should know exactly what they are paying for!

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-09-29:

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you found the staff, food and itinerary wonderful and that you enjoyed beautiful Croatia. We are sorry that your cabin did not meet your expectations; however, we would like to clarify that your booking was for our Premier ship category, and Mali Luka is a Premier ship within this category. Our Premier ships offer a comfortable style of small-ship cruising rather than a luxury experience, and bookings are made by ship category rather than a specific vessel. This is why the individual ship is confirmed closer to departure. We also outline in our FAQs prior to booking that cabins across our Premier ship fleet vary in size and configuration and may feature twin beds, a double bed or a bunk-bed style arrangement. While we always endeavour to accommodate guest preferences, a particular cabin layout cannot be guaranteed within this category. For guests looking for a higher standard of accommodation and amenities, or who would prefer to select their specific ship and cabin type when booking, we also offer our Luxury Cycle product. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased that, despite your disappointment with the cabin, the staff, food and itinerary were highlights of your experience.

Fun!

Excellent! Great rides, good food, great guides and support staff

A great travel experience!

Sail Croatia is a great way to see a lot of places in Croatia in one trip. The atmosphere on the boat is lovely and you end up making a lot of friends. Bruno our organizer was a lot of fun and made this very enjoyable!

I love Mlini

Phenomenal trip with outstanding water and friends made. The highlight by far was how the crew on Mlini, and especially Naomi and how they facilitated the best week. Shout out to Naomi for the best group dinners organised for us all to hang out and the fabulous bbq the Mlini crew put on for one of the nights!

Had a Blast!

This was my first time with Sail Croatia! Definitely have fun memories for life from this week sailing! the people from this group ended up being like a little family especially the girls from my group the girlhood was so special! Every day was a new swim spot in beautiful waters and the ports were so cool exploring when docked, the food on board was quite delicious and the portions weren’t limited. Ola the tour guide of our party boat did a great job in keeping the group updated with recommendations, activities available and each days itinerary!! :) Each night was spent partying in a new spot and was very fun! There were a few birthdays on my week and the crew, captain and people on board were all amazing at making their birthdays feel special and celebrated with cake and birthday drinks and all! As a young person you have lots of fun connecting and partying with people around your age, I recommend! The only downside was the amount of mold spotted in the cabins and aircon vents.

Best week, best people

Sail Croatia had already been reccomended to me lots of times but it exceeded my expectations. The deck hands, Captain and staff Ola, Dragon, Giuliano and Papi are the goats 🐐 Could not reccomend enough

A trip and memories to remember

The trip was outstanding - from check in to completion the service of the crew and the planning and locations visited made it a trip to remember. The tour leaders Josip and Augustin ensured each day was well planned, they supported all the guests and were filled with great historical information on each location that added to the scenery and atmosphere. Our trip experienced a serious accident for one of the guests and the manner in which our guides handled the incident with professionalism and care was tremendous. They showed consideration and urgency to address the situation but also genuine care for everyone involved. On board the boat, all the crew were friendly and professional and the service of Peter behind the bar was great. We anticipated a fun and exciting trip with great locations and experiences - and were well pleased. We'd totally recommend this trip to anyone that wants a great balanced trip to the Croatian Islands

Island Hopping!

We had a wonderful time, meeting new people from different parts of the world. We developed new friendships that we will maintain going forward!!! The cast and crew will remain in our memories forever, as we had a delightful time and will recommend to those we know.

Best holiday

The Katarina was a wonderful experience, the staff and cruise director were all very helpful and made our time on the boat a time we will never forget. Dino was very informative and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.
