Crew on the boat and our sail Croatia rep went out of their way to make sure we had the best time and got the most out of every day and night. The boat was in great condition, the food and the connections we made on the boat are definitely highlights of the trip

Everyone on board is super friendly and easygoing, which made it easy for all of us. Was able to make friends very quickly and was able to see lots of places and do plenty of activities thanks to Hana’s organisational skills and willingness to show us the best parts of Croatia

We had an absolute blast. We did the tour for my husbands 30th with some friends and the crew even baked a cake one day for him. The crew and Calum our guide were really great, always so helpful, organised, friendly and engaging. The cruise is a perfect blend of explore, swim, resting and reading and Ill recommend it to anyone. We were also privileged with great group of other travellers and made loads of new friends :) Thanks to Sail Croatia and Calum and his crew for a memorable holiday!

Being on sail was one of the most memorable weeks of my life. I met so many new people and had the best guide Nour she was so kind, friendly and accommodating she definitely made the experience. She taught us so much about each place we were going and did her best to help us with anything we needed. She encouraged games which allowed us to all get to know each other and become so close by the end of our experience. I will definitely be referring sail to all my friends and appreciate having Nour as my guide and hope to have her again.

Mia our guide and all the crew of Katarina who went over and beyond the call of duty to make our trip extra special. I cannot recommend them or the boat highly enough. Katerina was beautiful and spotless, and so well maintained. We had the most delicious food every day of the highest quality and standard. We loved our daily swimming time and felt the schedule was perfect. We got to visit so many beautiful islands and Mia made sure we missed out on nothing. One of the highlights was all the lovely people we shared the holiday with and the Captains dinner where we all joined together and danced the night away. It was an absolutely fantastic holiday and we will definitely be returning to Croatia.
- Helen Colt, 02/07/2025 17:40,
Mia our guide and the entire crew of the Katarina worked so diligently to give their guests an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful and was kept in pristine condition. The food was gorgeous and catered very well also for we vegetarians. We enjoyed the daily swims, and of course the excursions on the islands in the fabulous weather. A highlight for us was meeting very interesting and lovely people from all over the world. The holiday of a lifetime!!

Anita was a perfect Cruise Director, and our experience with Sail Croatia, and the Queen Jelena was outstanding. Anita had so many ideas of ways to explore each destination that it was easy to pick the excursion experiences that were right for our family. She was always available for questions, provided endless tips and tricks to optimize our time in Croatia, and was simply delightful to be around. She said we'd leave this week feeling like a family, and she was spot on! Queen Jelena, including the Captain and crew, were gracious, passionate about service, and attentive to our every need. The food was truly EXCEPTIONAL. Hats off to the chef and sous chef...AMAZING food!!! The locations of our swim stops were fantastic. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea at these picturesque, unique little coves is something we will never forget. Thank you Anita, Sail Croatia & the Captain/Crew of Queen Jelena!

Had to go on a Sail Croatia because honestly, I’d have no friends left, it’s all anyone talks about and now I get why. It was genuinely the best week of my life, and my only regret is not booking a longer sail. Not only was the whole experience amazing, but the crew made it feel like home. Despite how busy they were every day, they always had time for a chat, and I got to know them all personally, which I absolutely adored. Even after the sail, Nour still took the time to show us her favourite spots in Dubrovnik. I feel like I’ve made a friend for life because she treated us all like friends, not guests. I’ve never had a host go so far out of their way to make our experience better. All up, I’m so grateful I got the chance to experience a sail Croatia and think I will be talking about it for the rest of my life.
- River, 02/07/2025 16:09, Travelled with Friend/s
The cruise surpassed our expectations. The Katarina is a modern and comfortable boat and the itinerary was very well thought out giving plenty options for excursions. It was also possible to set your own pace with daily swim stops and relaxing on deck. We loved the welcoming captain and his team. A special mention must go to our tour operators Mia who really went the extra mile to make sure everything ran like clockwork and we were well informed about Croatia. A very memorable week! Thank you Sail Croatia.

The week I spent with sail Croatia was beyond impeccable, from the delicious and generous meals onboard to the many wonderful activities and excursions offered at every stop. That being said it was truly the honest and passionate work of our boat manager/guide Nouraïa which made the whole experience unforgettable , her extensive knowledge of history along with her unwavering kindness and playfulness tied the group together. I made many friends during the last week and it’s all thanks to sail Croatia, would highly recommend!
- Kayla, 02/07/2025 12:59, Travelled with Friend/s
The most amazing week. Our boat manager Nour was incredible - she was well organised, fun and kept us up to date with everything in the day through our boat what’s app group. Andrej our bartender was also fantastic. This week wouldn’t have been the same without the Afrodita crew. Would recommend this trip highly to all.
- Karla , 02/07/2025 12:51, Travelled with Friend/s
Just back from a fabulous week aboard Queen Jelena on the Elegance cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Our ship was immaculate and our experienced captain chose idyllic places for us to swim every day, and quaint towns and villages to visit. The crew were all excellent particularly Pamela and Ema who were super attentive. Our tour representative Anita was exceptional, keeping us up-to-date throughout, making dining suggestions, and brought together our fellow guests so that we were all a big family by the end of our cruise. One of the most scenic, friendly and relaxing holidays we've had, highly recommended 👍
- Gordon , 02/07/2025 12:46, Travelled in a Couple
I did the Split to Dubrovnik trip end of June 2025 and had an amazing time. Noura our guide and the boat staff (particularly Andrej) made the experience an extremely memorable one and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about booking. Noura was very knowledgeable about local history and had a relaxed and friendly vibe that made her feel like one of the group rather than staff. Her and Andrej went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best experience.
- Elena, 02/07/2025 12:44, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia was an amazing week. Incredible swim spots. I was on the boat Afrodita, the crew were amazing. The bartender Andrej was a superstar and our tour guide Nour was great! Nour had great recommendations on local restaurants and activities and had good knowledge on each towns history. Thankyou Sail Croatia

The ship was superb, the tour guide Anita who was fantastic (great personality, good communicater and provided lots of useful tips for each stop) the crew, the food was first class and of course our fellow travellers. 18 of us on board (UK, USA and Australia) which meant you got to know everybody even though we were only together for 7 days. Highly recommend this cruise, thank you to all onboard for an unforgettable week. Till the next time 🏴🇭🇷❤️

Just completed a week on the Katarina with Sail Croatia, and cant sing its praises enough! From the beautiful boat, down to the amazing crew, not to mention the beautiful Croatian islands we visited. Everything was perfect, and we met some amazing people too! If you were thinking about doing this, but wasn't sure what to expect! take the plunge! literally into the Adriatic sea in the morning swims! you will literally! have the time of your life!
- Tina, 02/07/2025 11:32, Travelled in a Couple
I was with a friend on the tour in a small group of 10 people and we had the best time sailing around the Dalmatian coastline and seeing the beautiful towns and islands of Croatia! Our skippers Matea and Dino made us feel so welcome in their space and joined in the party vibe which made the tour so much more fun! One week on the boats and such great memories and many more friends! Only a couple lost items along the way.

We sailed on the Katarina from Dubrovnik to Split. This was our second Sail Croatia trip on the same route, but a different ship last time. The ship is family run and you can tell it's their passion. The Katarina is a great ship, plenty of sun beds, and seating areas, perfectly working air conditioning in the cabins and a good shower. Of particular note were the excellent crew. The Captain Ivan and the girls Ivanka and Angela serving us particularly need a special mention. They were all great fun at the Captains Dinner and seemed to be having as much fun as we all were! Cleanliness on the ship could not be faulted. The sailors were always cleaning, and we usually had the shiniest cleanest ship in the harbour. The food was excellent - quite large portions but that's hardly a complaint by most! The Tour Manager was Mia and she was absolutely fabulous, she was knowledgeable and friendly, with an excellent sense of humour. We will definitely be back!

Obviously the scenery and swim stops were incredible but I truly think Hana made our trip outstanding. She was so informative and personable, super knowledgeable and always got included with the group. The chef also significantly exceeded expectations, amazing food every day. Couldn’t recommend sail enough - all of the staff and experiences were 10/10

My friends and I booked the SailCroatia trip together and we had the best time. We loved the early morning coffee and quiet time above deck each morning to begin our days. Our daily bike rides through quaint little villages were definitely the highlights of the trip. We always had time to look around and enjoy a delicious iced coffee. Our guides took our safety seriously and always made sure we were comfortable and confident while riding. Spending time in the cities where we docked nightly was also a blast. Our guides provided information on local favorites and arranged private tours to wineries and family dinners. These experiences were awesome and allowed us a look into the daily lives of the people we met along the way. I highly recommend the sailing/biking cruises.

Sail Croatia was one of the best weeks that I’ve probably ever had in my life! I got SUPER lucky with the group that I was on the ship with. Thanks to Cal everyone felt comfortable straight away and was ready to have a fun week together. Being a solo traveller, I was grateful that everyone was in such good spirits and was so open to getting to know each other. Cal’s recommendations were perfect and his energy on a night out was contagious throughout the entire group (if you get him as a guide, you’re very lucky). We were definitely the Sail group that everyone wanted to be a part of. I’ve made friends that will be my friends for the rest of my life and memories that will last forever. Thank you so much for such a great experience!!!

We just finished the Split/Return Hiking Tour. We were thrilled with the vacation. The Tour Leaders were personable and knowledgeable; the Cooks prepared Amazing food (and paid very close attention to my food allergies); and the Crew of the boat took very good care of us. The water was mostly very calm which was wonderful for swimming off the boat and on the beaches. This was my first time on a boat cruise, so I wasn't prepared for the smell of the bathrooms, but apparently this is normal. The weather was too hot for me to participate in most of the hikes, unfortunately, but I enjoyed swimming and sight-seeing in the towns while others were hiking. We went with a group of friends, AND enjoyed new friendships with the others on the boat. A very happy 7 days!

First off, Croatia is amazing! Pristine waters, beautiful architecture, and fantastic weather. Next, the Sail Croatia experience was fantastic! Truly one of the best vacations we've ever had was on the Katerina boat. It's beautiful, immaculately clean ( and I am not exaggerating one bit), 5-star meals, nice sized rooms, and so much fun! The staff are the best, always present to make your trip perfect. We made new friends from around the world, swimming every morning, gourmet lunches, then exploring the next island stop. It is the perfect holiday!

From the intimate feel of a small cruise ship and new friends made, to the very fun and friendly staff, to the incredible views and historical locations we visited, and the delicious cuisine that could be found everywhere - there was no trip I have ever had that compares. Lola was friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and honest about the locations and excursions, Captain Josif, Cezar, Kristina, Marco, and the rest of the Almissa staff were simply remarkable and deserve recognition for their customer service!

Absolutely incredible week sailing Croatia with Sail Croatia on Sundance. Sim, our skipper, was exceptional—knowledgeable, relaxed, and always one step ahead, finding us the perfect swim spots, charming towns, and top local restaurants. Every day brought new adventures, from hidden coves to historic harbours. The catamaran was spacious and comfortable, and the entire experience was seamless and unforgettable. We embraced the true spirit of pomalo—taking it slow, soaking it all in, and enjoying every moment. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the Adriatic. Highly recommend—especially with Sim at the helm!
- Luke, 01/07/2025 11:46,
Our Skipper Ante, was fantastic. He picked up on our sense of humour straight away and joined in, becoming part of our family over the week. He was very happy to teach us how to sail the yacht and encouraged us to get involved. Our yacht, Sizzle, was beautiful. Modern, comfortable and well appointed. We arranged provisioning before we left, with Artisans of Food, which turned out very well. The itinerary from Split to Dubrovnik gave us plenty of variety from the quiet local villages of Mljet & Sipan to the bustling stops in Hvar and Korcula, and of course, swim stops in stunning bays every day! I highly recommend a private yacht tour if you have a group of friends / family who want to enjoy this stunning Croatian coast while having an active and fun adventure.

Unforgetable family experience. The captain showed us the beauty of Croatia with a great itinerary - a perfect mix of secluded coves, amazing towns, and great sailing. The boat was spotless and comfortable. Plenty of food storage, a bit tight on luggage storage.

This was one of our best experiences in cruising. what made it great, the beautiful croatian islands, the swim stops en route,, our fellow travelers to which by cruise end felt more like family. and the opportunity to explore in each stop, without time limits to be back on boat. Being in a port each stop overnight is such a plus. Our cruise director, Anita, was a joy, a blessing to have and she made the experience 10 plus stars. The Jelena crew was outstanding and the ships accommodations were great as was the food. Do it, you won’t regret

We’ve just returned to the UK after what can only be described as a fantastic holiday experience onboard the Katarina.

All crewmembers were absolutely amazing! From Dino, to Karlo, to Nikola and the Captain, they were all super professional and fun!! The itinerary was spot on for what we wanted to do and I really appreciate the professionalism of our Captain. We were docked next to another Sail Croatia boat at one point whose Captain was very disrespectful to the noise ordinance times and, in turn, the other boats around them. The only recommendation I have is to add lounge chairs to the top level, not just the mats. Absolutely beautiful and we had a great time!
