Boat and Hike Cruise Exceeded My Expectations!

My cruise of the Dalmatian coast on the Salve di Mare was absolutely wonderful! I loved the hikes, swims in the Adriatic, exploring a new village or town at each stop, and just hanging out with the other passengers, who quickly became friends. The crew was warm and friendly and the service was excellent. Our tour guide Nikos and hike guide Ilona made every day a fun adventure. I would highly recommend this tour!

The only way to experience Croatia

Our cruise on the Esperanza with Sail Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik was an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was fantastic, taking us to beautiful destinations including Vis, the Blue Cave, Brač, Hvar, Mljet and Korčula. A particular highlight was cycling through Mljet National Park with our newly made friends from the cruise, as well as visiting a remote village and enjoying authentic local dishes. Every stop offered something unique and memorable. A huge thank you to our Tour Manager, Klara, whose professionalism and warm personality helped make the trip so enjoyable. Special thanks also to Ivo and Mio for their outstanding service and friendliness throughout the cruise. The entire crew worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had a wonderful holiday, but the biggest praise must go to the Chef and kitchen team. The lunches were simply exceptional—so delicious that many passengers were asking for the recipes! We would highly recommend Sail Croatia and the Esperanza to anyone l

Great active vacation

This is a great vacation for people who like to get out and see the islands. The E-bikes make it a breeze. We loved it. Our guides Ivan and Borna were amazing. The took great care to keep it safe and keep it fun. You will love the dinners in the island towns you stay in. Soooo fun. Thanks Sail Croatia team!

Exceptional Guides

Our guides were amazing. Crew brilliant. Costs such as port taxes and park fees were a bit of a surprise. Cabin was on the lower deck and was really damp even with the door left ajar. We were not allowed to open the portholes overnight whilst docked. Double bed was way too high to get in and out of comfortably.

Awesome adventures with the guides

It was great overall. Some of the things outside of the biking was that things like port taxes and park fees were not included in the costs. The cabins were also quite damp below deck and our bed you nearly had to take a run and jump to get into it as it was really high. Not great for an older couple.

MAGICAL!

We enjoyed 7 days of beauty, history, hiking, and wonderful service! The staff of Salve di Mare were top notch. Markos, Vlaho, Julia, Nikos, Illona, the chef and sous chef were all extraordinary. They were friendly, attentive, and well-organized. The deck hands kept them "ship shape," constantly cleaning or anticipating our next move. The daily breakfast buffet and 3-course lunch were top notch; thank goodness we were hiking so much. I recommend Sail Croatia's "Luxury Hiking Cruise" wholeheartedly. It more than met my expectations!

Amazing Cruise

Cruise was amazing. Captain George and his staff Ali and Linda were fantastic. Would highly recommend this to anyone

Top Notch !

We had so many “ pinch me” moments while on this holiday. The views were captivating and pictures could not capture this beautiful country. Captain Igor and Hostess Dora were amazing and made us feel so comfortable on the boat. They have definitely raised the bar for expectations when chartering a boat. We had great communication and a beautiful holiday thanks to everyone at Sail Croatia.

Amazing trip

This trip was incredible from start to finish. So well organised from start to finish, the boat staff were very friendly and obliging, the guides were a delight, the onboard food was delicious and the upstairs cabin was cosy but comfortable. It helped that the weather was perfect every single day. The e-bikes were a joy to ride - even the uphill parts were a breeze. We rode mostly on public roads so you do have to be a bit careful but there isn’t a lot of traffic. The guides always gave excellent briefings to make sure we were prepared for the day. The scenery, the colour of the water and the towns were so beautiful that it is hard to believe it is real. Handy tip - you will need a lot of cash (though there are ATMs everywhere) plus the drinks onboard are relatively expensive. Apart from that, it was an amazing trip and I was so sorry when it ended.

Sail and bike Croatia

Fantastic! Itinerary, facilities, staff & food. All great.

Not enough stars

There isn’t enough stars to rate how amazing the elegance cruise on the Esperanza was. One of the best holidays of our lives. Klara and the team made sure we had the most incredible experience. From the swim stops each day to the mid morning jacuzzi, to the amazing ever changing on board food menu, island stops and excursions, it was simply the best! As a 40 year old couple who wanted a slow holiday where we didn’t need to think too much about what to do next, this cruise was ideal for us, allowing us to do as much or as little as our hearts desired!

Split return south

It was very nice and exciting

- Atul, 02/06/2026 19:33, Travelled in a Couple

Split to south

My holiday was amazing. The crew on the ship were very friendly and helpful. Our tour manager Dino was very informative and helpful. Very cheerful person and got on well with the group. I was a vegetarian and they catered for us but one thing I would say they need to add some protein for lunch.

Great vacation

Sail Croatia 🇭🇷 on the Romantic Star was fabulous all because of Dino and crew. The yacht was in good order, clean, and spacious. We had a lovely cabin. The food was fantastic and always beautifully presented. The crew was helpful and so knowledgeable. Dino especially made the trip memorable. I will definitely tell all my friends and family!

More than we expected

Amazing time on a magnificent boat. The crew were fantastic. Special mention to Linda and Ali who looked after us with cocktails and coffees so well. So many laughs and great times. Met some people that will be life long friends for sure.

Great trip!

Had a wonderful time with my husband and our friends who came with us. The unexpected bonus was that we also made so many friends on the boat. Loved everything about the trip. Scenery was spectacular, food was delicious and healthy, biking and swimming was fun, and employees were great.

- Jana, 02/06/2026 16:37, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent

We had the best time on our 7 day Sail Croatia Holiday. I will miss my funny, sweet Klara the most!!!! Mio and Ivo made the best cocktails! All the staff were so helpful. The swim stops were amazing. The food outstanding. Every meal was meticulously prepared and delicious.

Lovely time

Our 7 days on the ship Jelena was wonderful. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The scenery was exquisite!

- Bobbe, 02/06/2026 08:12, Travelled in a Couple

Highlight of our holiday

It’s hard to put into words how amazing our week on the Olimp was. From the moment we stepped onto the boat we were blown away. The boat is exquisite. It is a credit to George (our captain) and his fantastic crew that everything was maintained to perfection. It looked brand new every day. We made lifelong friends and our week aboard exploring the beauty of the Adriatic was something we will remember forever. We purposely planned our cruise for the conclusion of our month long holiday and it was the best decision we made…although the plan to simply relax was not quite the case as we were having too much fun. Vedran had everything under control so the biggest decision of the day was ‘which cocktail’. Our fantastic crew were amazing (especially Ally & Linda). Nothing was ever too hard. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Great 1st Time Experience on a Yacht

This was our first time seeing South Croatia via a yacht. The staff was amazing and welcoming as soon as we arrived, by the end of the week we had established new friendships. Each meal was delicious. Croatia is a beautiful country that should be on your list of countries to visit for sure! The entire experience was amazing and I would recommend this trip 💯 percent!

Magnificent Mali Ante

Hubby and I just completed our second trip with Sail Croatia - the first was in 2018. We're delighted that this second trip was just as good, if not better than the first. The crew of the Mali Ante were outstanding and Tonka and Olha as the bike tour leaders were excellent. - everyone particularly loved Tonka's 'story times'. We highly recommend adventures with Sail Croatia!

Best vacation ever!

What a lovely vacation! This might have been one of my favorite trips ever. The Dalmatian islands are absolutely breathtaking and I would do this exact same cruise again. The ship was nice, comfortable and clean. Ceili, our tour manager, was fun, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. Our waiters, Nikša and Dimir, were attentive, friendly and funny. Even Peter, one of the sailors was nice enough to give us some recommendations for Dubrovnik on the last day. I highly recommend Sail Croatia and I hope to be on one of their ships again soon.

Amazing

Had an amazing trip , was great variety with cycling, sailing and amazing towns - we were fed very well with so much food , the guides Miranda and Ana where very knowledgeable and helpful, the ride is not for the light hearted some serious hills so definitely need to be confident on a bike - Croatia flat is definitely not flat 😂 definitely appreciated the electric bikes All the staff where amazing , would highly recommend

Croatia 2026

This was the best trip/experience we have ever had! The boat and cycling was the best way to see the islands of Croatia. The Captain, crew and tour guides, Tonka and Olja were so wonderful in all ways. We felt like family and friends on a magical tour! Our experience with these fantastic people was a heartfelt and exciting memory for us. We hope to return again for another week with this same crew and guides ❤️

Sail cycle cruise

Great holiday, the staff were excellent and the ship was fantastic. There is room for improvement. More ventilation in the lower cabins, aircon wasn’t effective. The coffee was very bad and there could be more fruit at breakfast and some soap included would be helpful. Also if beach towels are not provided it would be good to know that before we left Australia. Apart from that it was a great part of our trip

Outstanding Olimp

We had the most fantastic time on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik. Every island was different and so enjoyable. Vicko was an amazing Tour Guide whose morning briefings about the day ahead, along with his restaurant and other suggestions were excellent. Highlights of the trip were Hvar, Korcula and bike riding through the National Park on Mljet. Captain George took us to some beautiful swim spots along the way, as well as the Blue Cave as well as hosting a brilliant Captain’s Dinner. Linda, Elina and the rest of the crew looked after us so well each and every day. All the meals on board Olimp were delicious and our cabin was perfect. Bravo to all! We will definitely return to Croatia to explore more of this beautiful country.

Great Week

W enjoyed a great week on the Olimp in May. Could not meet a more professional and enthusiastic team on that boat. The tour was better than expected and we thoroughly enjoyed all the places we visited. The accommodation was excellent and the food very good. We would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone.

Easiest Way to Travel!

This trip is without a doubt the most relaxing Europe trip we’ve been on. The way Sail Croatia had this trip planned you really don’t worry about anything; food, activities and transportation. Just how much sun time you want to get. Marin, our guide on board, made every decision feel easy! The transparency and care was so evident in the way he did his job. He was always so helpful and fun to talk with. The crew on board Nieksha and Dom were energetic and made us feel well taken care of. My husband and I made so many friends on board, saying goodbye at the end of the week was difficult. It felt similar to when you leave summer camp as a kid. We hope to cross paths again with everyone some day. I would 100% recommend this experience to my friends and family. Oh and do the zip lining if you get the chance! It was breathtaking!

Great way to island hop

Our holiday was very relaxing. Dino was 5 stars and so were the rest of the crew. Great way to see the islands. The only reason we rated 4stars instead of 5 is because we would have preferred not to be served a full 3 course meal at lunch. A buffet would have been better. Save the big meal for when we were in the towns. As it was we ate two dinner type meals a day until we decided to just not eat lunch on the ship.

Further feedback

I filled the quick review onboard but understood there would be a more thorough evaluation of our trip. The biggest concern I had was the food. It was not up to standard. You should hire qualified trained chefs. Thousand island salad dressing was over poured on all salads. White bread for the most part. Not alot of citrus fruit. Overcooked tuna at captains dinner and appetizer unappealing. The captain wore a sweatshirt at the captains dinner. You couldn’t order a glass of wine you needed to buy a bottle. .

Split to Dubrovnik

Nikos and the Salve de Mare crew did a great job to make us feel welcome. They provided good communication and service throughout the trip.

Greatest way to see Croatia

Calum was a great guide that kept everyone happy. Nano and all the crew of the Contessa was were awesome. The small ports access and not fighting the crowds of big cruise ships was great. I would do this exact trip with the exact group again.

Terrific Tempera

The journey through the Croatian Islands from Dubrovnik to Split was amazing. The Sail Croatian representative on board Tempera had very detail knowledge of locations and activities. Tempera crew were friendly, engaging and added to a great holiday with well planned swim stops. Amazing holiday.

First voyage on the Contessa!

We recently finished a Sail Croatia cruise aboard the Contessa, and overall it was a fantastic experience. The weather took a little while to come good, but once it did, the trip really turned into something special with beautiful stops, great swimming spots, and an awesome atmosphere onboard. The Contessa is a newer ship, and while there were definitely a few early “gremlins” to work through, the crew handled everything professionally and always did their best to make sure guests were looked after and having a good time. You could tell the team genuinely cared about creating a great experience. A special mention has to go to Tino the sailor, who was an absolute standout throughout the trip. Friendly, very hardworking, and he really helped make the cruise memorable (including getting the hot tub going!) Big credit as well to Cal for keeping the vibe fun and social the entire week. Overall, despite a few small hiccups that come with a new vessel, we had an amazing time!!

Brilliant holiday

We sailed on The Romantic Star on a wine cruise. We had daily wine tastings in beautiful different places and plenty of wine to sample. The lunches on board and The captains dinner were delicious. We had a lower cabin as no upper ones left and it was very quiet and spacious. Klara our guide really made the trip. She was funny, helpful, organised and gave us detailed information about what we were doing on a daily basis, restaurant suggestions and was always on hand to help. The ship had plenty of seating areas if you wanted to be quiet and some lovely semi shade areas on the upper deck. I would recommend this trip .
