The cycling, the crew, the food and the rest of the guests were all fabulous! We were on Classic bikes, which was challenging at times however that's what we wanted! Scenery was beautiful and every day brought more fun and enjoyment. Would definitely repeat the whole thing!!

Sailing through Croatia aboard the Salve di Mare was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The vessel itself was spotless and well-maintained, with a crew that took great pride in their work. Every detail—from the gleaming decks to the thoughtfully prepared meals—reflected a high standard of care. The food onboard was a true highlight, each dish freshly prepared and bursting with flavor, perfectly complementing the beautiful views of the Adriatic. The itinerary offered plenty of chances to explore Croatia’s stunning coastline, with stops at charming seaside towns, historic ports, and hidden coves. Swim stops were always a favorite—crystal-clear water, warm sun, and that feeling of pure relaxation only the sea can offer. Our guide, Dino, truly made the trip special. His deep knowledge of Croatia’s history and culture brought each destination to life, and he was always ready with excellent suggestions for local sights, food, and activities. Great trip and would recommend !

Food was great, boat was very nice. The jacuzzi was not warm enough to use (end of Sept), which was disappointing. The boat only has heat or air and someone requested heat, but it left many of us feeling quite warm in the evenings. Overall a great experience, despite some small issues.

Lucy & Ivan were the perfect hosts for this wonderful trip cycling on the islands between Dubrovnik and Split.

Everything made this trip! Starting with signing up with Sail Croatia.. My girl friends sister had done the trip last year. Being boaters and bikers. We made our decision to do it. It was far beyond my expectations! At first I was hesitant to do it as my travels have never included an organized tour. This trip I was proven wrong. The boat was the perfect size, spanking clean and organized, the crew and bike guides were beyond personable, friendly and professional, the food outstanding! By the end of the trip they all were like family. The group, a mixture from different countries, also became like family, many we will keep in touch with after this trip I do not say these words lightly,. I truly amazed myself with this admittance. I say again, I have never been a fan of tours nor large groups of unknown people. I have been on many world adventures but none quite like this one!

Had a great time, low passenger (21) to staff ratio really helped. Couple of things though - Last cruise of the season meant we had to ask for things like spa being heated, etc - there wasn't a lot of initiative from crew in general, Also food and alcohol was running out so they weren't going to replace certain things. While we got a very SLIGHT reduction in price from peak time it did mean that we still felt as though we had to ask for things. Swim stops were awesome, but many people wanted to do more snorkelling options - It would have been easy to pull in a little closer to shore (100 metres) so we could see the bottom rather than swim there (I swam 250m there and back on one just to see the bottom). These are all minor details - the room was great, the tour manager Dino was AMAZING and dealt so well with a lot of different personalities. He responded immediately to all queries and was very patient with some of the more demanding passengers. We met great people.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We loved our time on board the Mali Ante. The crew and tour guides were very nice, helpful and fun to be around. The food was great. The excursions to the different islands were amazing. The islands are so beautiful. We loved everyone of them. The cycling was perfect for all of us - from beginner to advanced - we all handled it well. This is definitely the best of Croatia.

Plus, the boat accommodations were great and entire crew was friendly and service-oriented.

We were a group of 11 friends on the Queen Jelena Wines of Croatia cruise and had the trip of a lifetime! From the service, to the cleanliness of the boat, to the excursions, everything was flawless. Biggest shout out goes to our intrepid leader Ivan who was always organized and informative, and most importantly, put up with our antics. If we were to come back for another cruise, he would be our top request! And don't forget about the food! The breakfast buffet was always hot and filling. The three course meals were some of the best meals I had while traveling ever. Finally, the dining excursions included were such a delicious way to try traditional dishes. Sail Croatia truly does an exceptional job at customer service and tourism experiences. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

- Lauren, 17/10/2025 15:19, Travelled with Friend/s

From the moment we stepped aboard, the staff demonstrated a level of attentiveness that truly set the tone for the entire journey. They worked incredibly hard, always with kindness and grace, striking the perfect balance of being friendly yet thoroughly professional. Dining on board felt like a fine restaurant experience that Pamela and Ella beautifully prepared and presented. Ivan was a standout—deeply knowledgeable, flexible with the schedule, well organized, and incredibly engaging. They all made each day feel thoughtfully curated, with just the right mix of fun and relaxation. One of the highlights for me were the swim stops, which were both refreshing and well-managed. I felt completely safe under both Josips and Chad’s supervision. Overall, the combination of attentive service, gourmet dining, engaging activities, delightful wine, and a caring, professional team made this wine cruise a truly memorable adventure. Meeting a mix of new friends from all over the world was a bonus.

I absolutely loved this trip! We did the Explorer Split Return on the Almissa. I'm an avid cruiser, but now I'm spoiled and hooked on small ship cruises! It was so nice to have swim stops each day and get to swim right off the bow of the boat in a beautiful cove! Since we overnighted in each port, we were able to enjoy our time there without worrying about getting back to the boat on time! We were docked in the harbor at each port and walking distance to dining, shops, and activities. Food was great and service was excellent. Our cruise director Vin was so friendly and helpful, giving us great tips and advice for each port. My bed was very comfortable and room was clean with good AC! I had an above deck cabin, so I was able to open my window for fresh air, which was very nice since it wasn't very hot during our end of Sept sailing. I would definitely recommend this company and would not hesitate to book another cruise with them if I have the opportunity to return to Croatia!

The guides and boat staff made my 6 day cycling tour from Dubrovnik to Split on the Princess Diana exceptional. -Josk0 (Jay) was the lead for the cycling component and he was exceptional. Josko was always concerned about our safety and satisfaction of our rides. He worked closely with the captain to make needed adjustments to the cycling route as we had 2 days of rain. The rides were amazing. - Anita was also involved with the ride planning and execution and she was an absolute treasure. Very knowledgeable about the history of our locations helping us to learn and being the sweep on the cycling outings. - Violet was an amazing hostess overseeing the bar and food layout. She was a pleasure to have on the tour. The food was quite good - amazing what the chef was able to produce....from salads to deserts! The ship was a bit dated - needing a bit of a facelift to ensure wifi access, that all lights in rooms working, access to hot water for shower throughout the day/evening.

- Evangeline, 16/10/2025 18:08,

We had an incredible experience with Sail Croatia! The cycle guides (Andro and Lovre) and boat crew (Lucia, Valentina, and all cooks and staff) were helpful, attentive to detail, and made us all feel right at home in a new country. We had a few weather shifts that meant we had to pivot the original itinerary a bit and I couldn't be more impressed with how they made that feel seamless for us passengers. We enjoyed the daily cycling routes and the food provided on the boat was outstanding, too. My only feedback would be to provide swimming towels (those are a pain to pack, let's be honest) and shower soap in the bathrooms! Thank you for an amazing trip!

It far exceeded my expectations! Loved the unique itinerary of the cruise and personal attention given by all staff, especially Ivan & Pomella!! Captain’s Dinner was a night to remember!!!

- Beth Biscan, 16/10/2025 14:58, Travelled with Family

Great experience, met lovely people, the crew was the best. Niko our rep was always super attentive to all of us, took care of us and made the experience absolutely amazing! The weather didn´t help, so I do recommend doing it sooner in the year, but overall everything was great! Thanks everyone. Hugs from Colombia!

- Salome, 16/10/2025 14:45, Travelled Solo

I can't say enough good things about the crew on our sailing/bicycle trip in Croatia. From start to finish, they went above to make sure that everyone's needs were met. The logistics which could be challenging given the itinerary and size of the group were seemless. They balanced safety and professionalism with fun and enjoyment and personal connection perfectly. I have been on other guided trips and Ivan and Lucija are by far the best leaders -they truly brought the trip to life. Bruno and the rest of crew were all exceptional. Highly recommend!

- Eleanor Lipinski, 16/10/2025 14:18, Travelled with Friend/s

The group of people were all unknowns when we started but soon clicked. We met so many great people and all got on so well together. The cruise was well planned and despite a day or two of windy conditions it went off without a hitch. The staff were were always friendly and happy and willing to help whenever possible.

- Rod, 16/10/2025 12:27, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia bike/sail trip was fun! It was well organized, with plenty of good food and drink, clean cabins, and especially excellent due to the outstanding crew! We felt safe and well taken care of. They went above and beyond making us comfortable and happy, especially by the leaders Ivan and Luci. The biking trails were picturesque, and the Croatian people were friendly and welcoming. Thank you to all who made this trip very memorable.

- Anonymous, 16/10/2025 10:28, Travelled with Friend/s

The crew, which is responsible for the sailing/transportation of our group from destination to destination, were very good - trying to avoid rough waters, offering good meals (always a breakfast and usually a lunch and the occasional dinner). The cycling component was handled by a lead that planned the routes. Our lead tried to anticipate the abilities of our group, as we had a few non-electric bikers, and I appreciated him factoring the weather, cycling ability, terrain, topography and the ships ability with regards to docking/port authority schedules. By the end of our trip we ended up cycling: distance and total accumulated altitude climb, exceeded most trips of the season.. I believe that accommodations could have been made if our group was either over or under challenged.. Overall cycling Croatia was a great experience for us. We got to see Croatia in a unique way safely guided and well hosted.

We had an incredible time w 13 other couples, sailing and biking from Dubrovnik to Spilt. The crew and our bike guides are what set this apart. So amazing to hear their takes on the history of the region and their love of their country. We had a great set up for the other couples that we were traveling with to enjoy time as a big group and break off into smaller groups.

The Croatian islands we visited were incredibly beautiful. Lucija and Ivan were a great team guiding our group. Bad weather delayed our departure from Dubrovnik but the crew adjusted the schedule to insure we visited every island in the itinerary.

- Bob, 15/10/2025 19:05, Travelled with Friend/s

It was a wonderful week in Croatia. Our guides, Luci and Ivan, were outstanding. They were both so warm and so knowledgeable about both the routes we biked and about the area we were visiting. The crew on the boat was also outstanding. They worked hard, were very responsive, and we felt like we were in excellent hands all week. I recommend Sail Croatia highly.

- Jane , 15/10/2025 16:50, Travelled with Friend/s

Our Sail Croatia guides, Lucy and Ivan are super people, friendly, knowledgeable and competent. They addressed every question and issue with ease. The boat, the Colombo, is well laid out and well maintained for our 30 guests, 2 guides and 5 crew. I have no complaints about the boat. The crew was friendly and efficient. The food was average/as expected for a boat with a limited galley. We did the bicycle tour, which gave us something to do each day when we got off the boat in a port . I think this was an ideal way to spend seven days visiting the Croatian Islands. The E Bike made Cycling accessible to anyone of any fitness. Overall I highly recommend this trip

- Dave, 15/10/2025 16:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Our group of 30 had a blast cycling through small villages and up to beautiful viewpoints, learning the history of the islands, dining by the water and relaxing on our boat. Our guides and crew were top notch, keeping things fun, informative and safe, even in spite of challenging wind and waves conditions. Wonderful!

- Anonymous, 15/10/2025 13:53, Travelled with Friend/s

Our tour guides, Ivan and Lucy, were fantastic! Ivan led the bike tours, keeping us safe and informed about the challenges of the daily routes, while never losing his sense of humor. Our group ranged from seasoned cyclists to relative newbies, and we rode a range of bicycles, but Ivan identified routes that were both challenging, but manageable, and incredibly scenic for all. Lucy complemented Ivan with her extensive knowledge of the history of each island we visited, leaving us all al little bit more enriched by the experience. She also gave us daily dining and touring recommendations, which allowed us to explore the islands a little bit on our own. They were the dynamic duo, for sure!

The food variety/cooking quality. While the rides were spectacular and the guides entertaining and informed, I found the meat and fish generally overcooked and bland. The fresh fruit and salads were enjoyed - but more of the soups would be good as well The breakfasts could be improved with less repetition. I was also surprised at the minimal seafood offerings, given the location.

Our guides, Ivan and Lucijla, were extremely professional. They were super informative, cheerful, accommodating, safety-conscious, efficient, flexible, and encouraging to all of us. Clearly, they were very experienced and committed guides. Plus, they each had a great sense of humor and kept us positive throughout the trip, even the challenging rides. The captain was expert at adapting to weather conditions so we got to experience all the rides that were planned. The crew was very helpful and attentive. I would definitely use them again.

- Libby, 15/10/2025 11:45, Travelled with Friend/s

Excited about the boat Aphrodite, it did not disappoint. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Plenty of room. Great introduction with the staff. Any fears of sharing our holiday with a number of unknown people were soon dismissed. We were so fortunate that we had such a good group. The cycling guides, helpful , informative and entered into the spirit of holiday. WhatsApp group for passing information and morning meetings worked well. The bicycles are good quality and surprisingly no punctures.. At times the group seemed to large and we seemed rushed and to be cycling to a schedule. Thoroughly recommend the combination of travelling by boat and cycling the best way to enjoy the Dalmatian coast. The scenery was stunning, weather was perfect for us in mid September. Opportunities to swim from beaches and of the boat was perfect, enjoyed the food on the boat and we all came together to eat at meal times. Most memorable experience and booked again with SailCroatia for 2027….

- Steven, 15/10/2025 11:05, Travelled with Friend/s

The captain and crew were great. The boat was clean and well kept. We did have some difficulty with enough hot water for showers, but resolved with timing. The guides were excellent. Cheerful, enthusiastic and professional. The food was the reason for the four stars, and maybe I’m being unfair. The cook prepared meals for 31 guests in a broom closet size space and the budget was probably pretty tight. The food was plentiful and had good variety. The only complaint I had, was that the meat was consistently overcooked, especially the fish. It certainly wouldn’t discourage me from booking another trip with this company, or this crew.

- Jeffrey, 15/10/2025 09:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Our guides Josko and Anita were awesome. There were several obstacles put in their way due to weather and they did a great job to adjust when needed. The crew on the boat was also great. The captain had to also make changes when obstacles were presented. The food was excellent! The only issue was the wifi on the boat, Princess Diana. The wifi was rarely available. Luckily, boats park side by side at the ports, so we could hop on the wifi of other boats. Cycling through the Croatian islands was excellent, a great way to see the country. I'd do the tour again anyday.

- Marty, 15/10/2025 09:14, Travelled in a Couple

This was an awesome way to see the beautiful islands of Croatia by land and by sea. Not being an avid bike rider, I was skeptical about enjoying the rides. The e-bikes and wonderful guides (Borna and Marin) put me at ease and made this a truly unique and memorable vacation. We also very much appreciated the wonderful service from Marko and enjoyed the meals. If you are looking for a fancy boating experience, this isn’t for you. Accommodations are very basic and the boat lacks inviting spaces for relaxing. The biggest disappointment was the boat’s bar selection and not being stocked with what they normally would offer., since this was the last journey of the season for our boat, Ice was rarely available.

- Joni, 15/10/2025 06:09,

Our bike tour guides, Marin and Borna, were absolutely outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the regions we explored. Their local insights, humor, and attention to detail made every ride not just scenic but meaningful. They were the true highlight of this trip and the main reason our cycling adventure was such a success. The boat Dionis was functional and served its purpose as our floating base for the week. While it’s not the most luxurious vessel in the fleet, it provided what we needed for a comfortable journey between islands. The crew was generally accommodating, though the captain’s early departure push on the final morning — moving the checkout time from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. — felt a bit rushed and left us scrambling to wrap things up. Overall, the experience was memorable and well organized, thanks in large part to Marin and Borna, who turned a good trip into a great one.
