The ship, our cabin, the fantastic food, and absolutely wonderful crew, all exceeded our expectations….this was our first trip to Europe and with my wife recently retiring, we will be sure to be visiting Croatia once again and look forward to travelling on another slSail Croatia adventure!

We had a simply fantastic experience from start to finish. The booking experience was smooth, communication about check in time and all logistics was timely and detailed. What really made the trip for us was our Skipper Ante. From the start Ante understood what we wanted to achieve and being sailers he tailored our trip so that we could also learn how to sail the boat we had chartered. Ante planned the route together with us and ensured we also visited beautiful bays to swim and amazing restaurants throughout the trip. Without a doubt Ante made this trip very special for us and we want to repeat it again soon!

Queen Jelena is a beautiful ship and we appreciated her elegance. Everything was organized perfectly. The service and food was incredible. Our guide Ioana was amazing, she gave detailed explanations of the days and next nexts plans and optional activities. This was followed up by written explanations on WhatsApp which was very helpful I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip to anyone

Sailing to the small island towns of Croatia on the beautiful yacht Katarina has to be one of the best experiences I’ve had. The accommodations were lovely, the food was wonderful, and the crew were amazing! I can’t imagine enjoying the beauty of Croatia any other way!
- Janice, 16/09/2025 11:17, Travelled in a Couple
A five star experience from the moment we boarded our boat. Cleanliness of the boat, a very helpful crew and quality and variety of the food was outstanding. Our guides were organized, knowledgeable and very attentive to ensure all customers had the experience they expected. What made the island trips very special was our ability to cycle into smaller towns and villages on each island and truly experience Island life. We had a number of people on the boat that were second and third time customers. This speaks volumes of the quality of overall experience.

First off our guides, Ivica and Ilona were the best. They kept 30+ people of differing interests and physical ability engaged and enthusiastic every single day.....even the day it rained. The routes chosen provided spectacular views and gave us the opportunity to see parts of the islands that visitors to only the port towns would miss. The ship was comfortable and meals on board were very good with a some outstanding moments. Daily information on the plans and suggestions for that day took all the guesswork out of it. Very well organized with everything planned to the last detail but also flexible depending on group preferences and weather.

The combination of a cruise and e-bike trip was perfect for us
- Pauline , 16/09/2025 04:38, Travelled in a Couple
Our guides were Josko & Ana, what a team! We had a couple of windy days & one wet day. The communication was quick & kept us updated with options for our bike trips. The banter was fun & their knowledge of history/ old stories kept us intrigued. They were very giving with their time & expertise, & we felt they went above & beyond to make sure we had plenty of information to plan & enjoy our onshore time. The boat crew were great, always available & worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. The meals… no one went hungry with our chef! If you’re on the fence about this tour, you will not be disappointed!
- Leigh, 15/09/2025 18:56, Travelled in a Couple
We were blessed to have a wonderful and friendly crew and 2 guides Ilona and Ivica who kept us safe and informed whilst having great fun on the bikes! A group of like minded people on the boat just added to the experience! What a great opportunity to explore such picturesque places combined with biking, swimming and a little walking and sometimes dancing in the evening (you needed to exercise off the amazing meals prepared by our skilful chef). A fun week which ended a little to soon! Thanks to crew and fellow travellers for an amazing experience!

The hiking cruise was sensational — an ideal blend of adventure, scenery, and seamless planning. Each hike offered breathtaking views and just the right level of challenge: enough to feel accomplished but never overwhelming. The hikes provided spectacular views of Croatia’s coastal beauty. What truly elevated the experience were our guides, Mate and Hana. They were outstanding—knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive. Whether it was sharing local insights, adjusting pace for the group, or simply bringing great energy to each day, they made the journey feel personal and memorable. The itineraries were fantastic, striking a perfect balance between structured activity and time to relax or explore. Every detail felt considered, from the timing of hikes to the onboard experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Croatia in a unique, active, and deeply rewarding way.

All the places we visited with the people and this could not have been so enjoyable without our host Sasha who was always available and very understanding and knowledgeable which made for a amazing vacation 👌
- Steven, 15/09/2025 13:13, Travelled in a Couple
We had been before, the trip was as good as before but the food was so much better. The boat was better too and we had upstairs cabins that we liked better.
- TESSA, 15/09/2025 13:11, Travelled in a Couple
I loved all the old towns in each place, the swim stops and for us the people. The boat crew and our tour manager Sasha were great humans - thanks Sail Croatia.
- Simone, 15/09/2025 13:01, Travelled in a Couple
We did the sail and cycle in September and it was great. The crew were great, our guides were hands down amazing, the food on board was terrific. We used hybrid classic bikes and it was hard work on some of the hills, so just be warned if you are considering classic bikes. The terrain was much different than we expected. We felt very accomplished by the end of our adventure.
- Elizabeth, 15/09/2025 10:02, Travelled in a Couple
We had an amazing time on our sail Croatia yoga cruise. The entire crew was amazing, kind and friendly. Very hardworking and deserve more down time off between charters. The boat was wonderful and rooms clean and good size vs expectations. The chef was awesome and made delicious meals every day. Breakfast was basic with some meats cheeses, fruit, toast, eggs. My suggestion would be a blender for smoothie and microwave to reheat cold food. Lunch was delicious but having an idea of what it is before hand would be helpful for those selective eaters so they can have more breakfast or select the vegetarian option if they want. The yoga was great and excursions were fun and easy to sign up with each day. Posting the options on the whiteboard in the saloon, daily meals and schedule etc would be very helpful to prevent so many msgs on what’s up. I found the group chat nice but too many msgs and questions of things we were already told. Overall, we loved it and would do it again! Thanks
- Steve, 15/09/2025 09:44, Travelled in a Couple
Variety of bike routes and onboard food that reflected the culture of Croatia
- Arlynn , 15/09/2025 07:33, Travelled in a Couple
Everything was first-rate and professionally run. The scenery and the cruise alone were worth the cost. Staff and food on board were excellent
- William, 15/09/2025 07:25, Travelled in a Couple
We always knew what to expect. Our crew helped us w planning our outings and biking adventures. Lovely time
- Sharyn, 15/09/2025 07:06, Travelled in a Couple
Value for money, excellent cruise staff and a great bunch of people on the cruise. The food was excellent. Cabins quiet, clean and comfortable. Vik our tour manager was THE BEST he provided us with so many options and opportunities. When the weather was not so great he worked really hard to find other activities to do. The captain changed our destination so we didn’t experience too many rough conditions. Honestly all the staff worked extremely to give us the most fantastic time. We are sad it is over.
- Emma, 15/09/2025 04:10, Travelled in a Couple
Our crew was incredible, Johnny went above and beyond to make the week amazing! He really made the biggest difference for how amazing our trip was. Nikola and Yosef were so fun and welcoming and the crew behind the scenes did such an amazing job at making sure everything was perfect. The food and drinks were amazing. The activities were so much fun, I loved every second of it!
- Phillipa (Pip), 14/09/2025 08:50, Travelled Solo
I had the best time on EOS! As soon as I stepped onto the boat I felt welcomed by Cal, and the crew were so accomodating the whole trip. I truly had the best time and would suggest this trip to everyone who is interested.
- Isabella , 14/09/2025 00:04, Travelled Solo
Loved the opportunity to explore the beautiful Croatian coast on Queen Jelena. Docking in the heart of a different place each day and being able to explore into the evening instead of rushing back to a ship that would be moving on before dinner set this apart from traditional cruises. Swimstops in quiet coves were another highlight of every day. We met some fabulous people, we spent the week with Canadians, Australians and Americans as well as others from England and Scotland. Meeting people from so many places and having the opportunity to socialise with them through the week, was another great strength of the trip. We’ll be keeping in touch! The food was good, the bar nearly always open and the crew helpful and worked hard to ensure we enjoyed every part of our holiday. We had an amazing tour guide with us throughout the trip, who did so much for us, including entertaining us. I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone wanting something a little different and a memorable holiday.
- Paula, 12/09/2025 20:29, Travelled in a Couple
We had the privilege of having Johnny as our sail tour leader! We could not of been more lucky that he ended up as our guide. Everything was so planned out and made so easy - we just had to show up! Johnny always had plans for us and solutions to any problems if anyone had any. When other clients on other sail croatia boats wish to join our boat because of how good Johnny it just shows you how well of a job he is committed to doing. All of our experiences were perfect and always so fun but a big thanks goes to johnny who made sure it was effortless for everyone. Not to mention how he made everyone on board gel from day 1 and we ended up with the best group ever! Cant recommend sail croatia enough - Ps Request johnny as tour leader!
- Anonymous, 12/09/2025 15:11, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful time on Sail Croatia! Our tour guide, Johnny, was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! The crew was also amazing and always willing to help! We made so many friends and had so many fun experiences with the excursion options! 10/10 would recommend to a friend!
- Taylor, 12/09/2025 12:35, Travelled in a Couple
We had the best time on EOS with Calum as our group guide. Everything from the boat itself, optional extras, food and of course our amazing guide Cal exceeded our expectations. My girlfriend said it was the best week of her life and I agree. Would definitely recommend this trip to all our friends and family. Special shoutout also to the amazing staff onboard including Lucy (Lucia) and Valentina.
- Callum , 12/09/2025 12:22, Travelled in a Couple
The service, food, employees, comraderie with other I met, the ship was lovely, the activities, and our guide V.

Had the best time on the premiere Navigator with Cal as our Host! The boat EOS was amazing and the crew/food were spectacular. Would definitely recommend to anyone on the fence.
- Jakim, 12/09/2025 10:52, Travelled in a Couple
Had the best time ever! We were on the beautiful EOS for the week and just had the best time. The swim spots were my favourite. Lots to do activity wise. Cal was a legend best tour manager wouldn’t want to do a cruise with any other tour manager also the crew they were awesome. I was 20 weeks pregnant as well and they were all so accommodating.
- Alexandra , 12/09/2025 08:41, Travelled in a Couple
Excellent trip - the guides were super friendly and professional and went above and beyond to make our this a wonderful experience The locations visited were stunning and the cycling very enjoyable (once we changed to e-bikes…) Not luxurious- but more than adequate I would highly recommend this trip to anybody
- Peter Crotty, 11/09/2025 09:48, Travelled in a Couple
the staff was excellent! Sonya, Miranda, Lubicza and Carlo all had excellent interpersonal people skills and language skills. Sonya and Miranda were very helpful to me because I was a new rider. They explained things multiple times and never lost their patience. These are excellent instructors because they had to manage a group of riders who had different abilities. I would do it again. Food, chefs and cabin were also excellent. Air conditioning at night did not always go on. That is my only criticism.
- david, 11/09/2025 00:38, Travelled in a Couple
Having celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with Sail Croatia was truly one of the most memorable and magical experiences of our life . From the moment we stepped on board, we were welcomed with warm hospitality , impeccable service and stunning views. The representative Dino along with the Captain Josip and the entire crew ( waiters/chef and sailors ) went above and beyond to make this experience even more pleasurable,. It was a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. We returned home with unforgettable memories and a deep gratitude for the journey we shared both on sea and in life.
- Luisa & Joey, 10/09/2025 17:35, Travelled in a Couple
I really enjoyed the program…. Relaxing mornings , swim stops and lunch. It really made me wind down. Lovely Croatian islands to discover and evening meals on shore. Katarina is a well appointed ship. Extremely clean and comfortable and the staff were great. Very helpful and attentive without being too familiar. I loved it.
- Alyson , 10/09/2025 16:47, Travelled in a Couple
Cycling the route Dubrovnik to Split thru the islands was nothing short of spectacular. The e-bikes were great, the food was good and the crew very good. Especially Mario and Andro. You guys rock! Being over 70, we were a bit nervous but the crew and the others on the boat made us feel like one big family. Thanks to the captain and crew for keeping us on course, safe and well fed!
- Eldon, 10/09/2025 15:28, Travelled in a Couple
I had the most amazing time - our guide, Isabell, was so amazing and fun which made the experience awesome. I would recommend to anyone!
- Jas, 10/09/2025 14:50, Travelled Solo
Our Sail Croatia Rep, Klara, set the tone for the week with her excellent communication and offbeat humour. The Olimp was a beautiful ship, really luxurious and the crew were friendly and helpful. The food was perfect - not to heavy so we could enjoy the fabulous island restaurants and swimming off the back of the boat was so exciting. That left the Islands to spin their own magic on us - stunning scenery, great outings on bikes, buggy and jeep and discovering the history and local wines made for a superb holiday. Best of all we met like minded people from around the World we enjoyed spending time with. 5 stars all round.
- Fiona, 10/09/2025 14:35, Travelled in a Couple
I've been to Croatia many times before this, doing sailing tours similar to this, but this one stood out because, The organisation, preparation and enthusiasm from our Rep Marin was unmatched, recommendations done, questions answered, and unique requests fulfilled. The crew of Emanual was fantastic, food was amazing, service impeccable and the ship itself spotless. Much more from a tour, no-one could ask for.
- Blake, 10/09/2025 14:20, Travelled Solo
Very well organised, great fun and perfect mix of excercise (cycling) and socialising (mainly eating, drinking and exchanging stories) with fellow guests. Special thanks to Miranda and Sanja for expert guidance and story telling on our daily cycles and to Ljubica and Karlo for superb bar & restaurant service and to captain and ship crew for guiding us safely in and out of our many ports, including loading and unloading 34 bikes each time.
- Graham, 10/09/2025 14:15, Travelled in a Couple
The crew, Ana and Daniel were great. The boat was spacious and the weather was perfect. Daniels cooking was awesome and the restaurant's were fantastic.
- Jeff, 10/09/2025 14:11, Travelled in a Couple
Our tour guides were Ana and Marin. Our guides were awesome – they knew so much of the history of Croatia and shared it freely. The food on the boat was OK. The breakfast buffet was really good; lunch was hit and miss but mostly good. Some people found the lunches not quite enough food if you are a big eater. Drink prices on the boat were really reasonable. Would ask that you recommend the e-bike option for everyone as there was a lot of waiting for the manual bikes as some of the hills on the islands are no joke. A water bottle holder would be nice on the bikes. Would recommend the cycling jersey be included in the package. It would be great advertising for you. To charge $70 for a cycling jersey after you have spent over $2000 USD seemed excessive. Loved that our captain Martin was very safety conscious even if it meant we didn’t always get a swim stop as the seas were too rough. Our bike guide Marin also was very safety conscious which was great to ensure we completed
- Anita, 10/09/2025 14:00, Travelled Solo
Just returned from our fantastic cycle cruise with Sail Croatia with husband. It was glorious and just what I had envisioned: fun cycling with e-bikes through lovely scenery along the coast and on inland roads (only a few intrepid souls conquered the prolonged and steep hills and switchbacks on regular bikes); sunny and warm days; great food and beverages; comfortable accommodations on the boat; swimming in lovely clear or aquamarine water; and warm interactions with our fellow cyclists and amazing staff. I am particularly grateful to Sanja and Miranda for the care they showed us as my husband’s cycling experience was limited. Sanja’s daily storytime about history and culture, and Miranda’s care when my bike had a mechanical problem were truly appreciated. I also loved their attention to detail during our daily briefings. Finally, with Miranda leading and Sanja sweeping, it was liberating to be able to stop to take photos without holding the group up. Truly a fantastic vacation!
- Donna, 10/09/2025 13:11, Travelled in a Couple
We did the boat/bike from Dubrovnik to Split and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Our accomodation on board Colombo was very comfortable and our breakfast and lunch each day provides the fuel we needed to ride. No complaints about the food, although the tuna served at the Captain’s Dinner was overcooked for our preference. The crew of Colombo were all friendly and helpful if anything, I could have done a little more cycling most days, but that is not a complaint. We were very impressed with Andro and Mario. Thank you for a wonderful adventure. I 🩷 Croatia!!

- Conan, 09/09/2025 17:06, Travelled Solo
Andre and Ilona went above and beyond all expectations for quality of service , dedication and punctuality. Their passion was shared with everyone on the tour. They should be offered extended and improved contracts immediately................or you are not doing your job!
- Don, 09/09/2025 13:56, Travelled in a Couple
The boat was spotless, the staff were really helpful and polite. Ioana our tour manager was great, always on the ball organising everything and tailoring the trips to suit the guests. We visited some beautiful places and got to see them in the daytime and evening as we were in port overnight. We did have a slight hiccup with one lunchtime meal when nearly half the guests had an upset stomach after eating the tuna. This could be something that they need to look at and maybe learn from. That been said I would definitely holiday with the company again, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
- Simon, 09/09/2025 12:16, Travelled in a Couple
✨ Experience Croatia with Skipper Anja! ✨ We had the most unforgettable vacation island hopping along the stunning Dalmatian Coast! 🌊⛵ From hidden coves to breathtaking viewpoints, Anja made sure we experienced every must-see spot. One of the highlights? She arranged for us to visit a World Heritage Site completely by ourselves — an experience we’ll never forget! 🏛️💫 She even secured reservations for Stiniva, and being alone in such a magical, historic place felt like a dream come true. Anja also made sure we felt right at home on the boat and ensured we always had our privacy, creating the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. On top of that, she taught us the basics of sailing and made it so much fun to learn! 🚤🌞 This is just one of the many magical touches Anja added to make our trip truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
- Jodi, 09/09/2025 11:07, Travelled in a Couple
The food was fabulous, the staff were hardworking and efficient. The ship was exceptional and facilities were 5*. Couple of small things that would make it better: -2 x cabin keys; -Hand soap and shower gel (information stated these were provided and to being shampoo & conditioner, but these were provided); -Coffee machine and tea facilities available at all times. We are very early risers and look forward to a morning coffee or tea. Had an amazing week, thank you and would happily sail with Sail Croatia again. Many thanks ⛴️😁

Visiting the small island coves and gorgeous harbors from the comfort of our boat was the experience of a lifetime. We loved the biking and the swimming. Our group became fast friends and we loved our guides. The food was healthy and delicious . Hats off to Miranda and Sanya for leading us to one beautiful place after another and for sharing all of your local knowledge. You were always cheerful and patient. We loved our trip! .
