What a great experience, best way to see parts of Croatia that a lot of people would see on conventional tours. The ship (Columbo), the captain and the crew were awesome, they went out of their way to make the trip a memorable one. Our guides Marin and Mario were very professional and provided lots of information about the history of the islands and the towns we visited. Would highly recommend cycling with Sail Croatia.

My husband and I had a great vacation on the Tempura boat. Dino our guide for the week provided feedback on the best places to eat and see. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to anyone.

Dino our tour guide was awesome, very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on what to do/where to eat. The crew were also very kind and helpful.

Great crew, great food and service. Very organised, honest and informative. Dino is a legend made the experience amazing.

The islands we cycled and sailed through were stunning. With an e-bike the cycles were easy to complete and I loved having the opportunity to swim as well most days. Our guides, Marin and Mario, were the highlight - keeping us safe and full of interesting information.

This was a fuss free and beautiful way to experience Croatia. Waking up each morning in a different location with stunning views, swimming spots, experiences and exploration all while making new friends. Vicko and the Alissa crew were amazing and always had guest experience front of mind.

What a great itinerary, with a fabulous bunch of people! Everyone was so friendly. Our hikes were a good variety, ranging from flat to vertical (possibly a slight exaggeration, but there were some steep bits!) We hiked along clifftops, over rocks, through woodland, in National Parks with waterfalls galore (and some very noisy frogs!), and through small towns. All different, all gorgeous. Our guides Ivica and Lucija were brilliant, watching out for everyone, giving us lots of snippets of information, and sharing their obvious love for their beautiful country. They gave us some pretty good restaurant recommendations too!

Everyone on the ship’s staff was amazing. Our fellow guests were friendly and of course the island visits were beautiful.
- Sharon , 27/05/2025 02:02, Travelled in a Couple
From making the reservations to answering our questions to providing us with fantastic reps, Mila and Lola.... everything was fantastic and we can't wait to explore more of this beautiful country using Sail Croatia. The Emanuel ship and crew were comfortable and made our experience top- notch. 5- stars all around!
- Jodi, 26/05/2025 20:32, Travelled in a Couple
Our sail/hike Split Southern Islands week was a perfect mix of activity on our hikes and time to relax either onboard beautiful Emanuel or onshore at one of the picturesque towns in which we spent the night. Food provided onboard for breakfast and lunch was plentiful and tasty (thanks to our on-board Chef). Our cabin was roomy and well presented. The whole crew and our two guides looked after us really well and Croatia and the Adriatic Sea were just stunning. We could not have asked for a better week. Thank you to our crew and our awesome guides and thank you Sail Croatia.
- Andrea and Gary, 26/05/2025 18:51, Travelled in a Couple
The tour team and ship crew were A1. on all accounts. We had some weather to navigate through and again the captain and crew made it all work. We did wish the ship was a tad more updated. Beds were too hard and hot water was not reliable (only a 400 liter tank for all 40 of us). All part of the adventure. Marin and Mario were great tour leaders and kept us all safe. The Croatian food was first rate and plentiful each day. A great time had by all.
- Robert, 26/05/2025 13:22, Travelled in a Couple
We originally considered using ferry service to see the Croatian islands, but ultimately chose Sail Croatia because it covered all the islands we wanted to see and made it so easy! We were happily surprised by how delicious the food was on board, and felt that we had the perfect amount of time in each location. The accommodations were also perfect for us. Would recommend and travel again ourselves! Vicko and the whole crew gave us a great experience.
- Julie, 26/05/2025 11:52, Travelled in a Couple
My wife and I had an incredible time on the 7-day Sail Croatia tour from Split to Dubrovnik. The islands were stunning, and each stop had something unique to offer. Our tour guide, Marin, was fantastic—super helpful, honest, and fun to be around. He gave great local tips and even hung out with us in the evenings. The crew was great too, and the breakfast and lunch served onboard were always delicious. Highly recommend this trip if you're visiting Croatia!
- Akash, 26/05/2025 11:10, Travelled in a Couple
The staff made everything amazing! The weather wasn’t great some days so they organised different activities and always thought of our safety. Marin was the best representative! The food was delicious and the drink service was great. Boat was clean and we had a great time.

This was a fantastic holiday from the beautiful islands we cycled across to the great guides and friendly professional crew of the Mali Luka. The chef produced amazing food for us every day with great verity, accommodating all tastes and requirements. The cycling guides were knowledgeable of the areas we went to, this meant they could remain flexible on routes we took so always managed to cycle in great weather. They also provided lots of interesting history of the islands as we cycled around them.
- Brad, 26/05/2025 06:57, Travelled in a Couple
The crew was friendly and helpful. The boat was well appointed. We had fantastic fellow travelers. The destinations were beautiful
- Julie, 26/05/2025 05:53, Travelled in a Couple
Sail croatia put together an amazing journey along the Dalmatian coast. We were aboard the Mali Ante with a experienced and skilled crew. The chef prepared excellent Croatian cuisine for breakfast and lunch that rivaled many of the excellent restaurants we tried for dinner. We were on a new hiking cruise, designed by our guides, that included national parks and islands north of Split, including Plitvice and Krka. The guides, Ivica and Lucija, carefully selected trails to suit the abilities of the group and were very attentive to the needs of each guest. I would love to come back and do a hiking tour of the southern islands in the future. We primarily stayed in small villiages on the islands and Lucija was very kind to tell us all about the towns and their history and every night she provided excellent recommendations for dinners. Swim stops were great and refreshing! Best part of our month long vacation so far!
- Carolyn, 26/05/2025 05:52, Travelled in a Couple
The cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was a sensational experience. The captain and crew of the Almissa were excellent and Vicko the Sail Croatia representative was incredible and made our trip a memorable one! The swim stops and island visits were picture perfect!
- Dale, 26/05/2025 04:50, Travelled in a Couple
The information supplied by Sail Croatia before our trip was excellent, letting us know everything we needed to know. The Tour guides were very helpful right from the beginning of the trip. Miranda was an excellent cycle tour leader and explained the routes and stops well. Lola gave great history and location talks throughout the tour. Even though Matilda was observing on this trip, she was also very helpful. The three made a good leading and supporting team. The crew of the Dionis were fantastic and worked hard to make the cruise a wonderful experience. The chefs were amazing and went above and beyond to provide very good vegan meals. The barman was a star, always polite and ready to give good service. The bikes we rode were very good and well maintained. Gears worked smoothly, and the range was right for the hills and routes. The places we visited were beautiful and full of history. We enjoyed swimming at different locations every day. There was always plenty of time to explore.

We chose the Luxury Hiking Tour on the Salve di mare from Split to Dubrovnik. From our arrival on the Yacht to our departure everything was beyond perfect! Anita and Mate went above and beyond to ensure we had a true Croatian experience from the great hikes filled with historic information to the recommendations for additional activities and wonderful restaurants on each of the islands we visited. The Yacht crew was friendly and attentive to requests, providing wonderful meals, making sure our room and the Yacht were clean and our captain went above expectations by adjusting our island visits to ensure we always had fantastic weather. We look forward to traveling again in the future with Sail Croatia and highly recommend their trips.
- Shelly, 23/05/2025 23:39, Travelled in a Couple
From the very first contact with Sail Croatia I felt confident that we were in good hands. The communication and information provided were excellent. Our guides, Miranda, Lola and Matilda (in training), were just wonderful - patient, cheerful, friendly, efficient and always helpful. Their experience and efficiency meant we never had to worry about anything all week, just enjoy the beautiful places we visited. The cycle routes were great - a good variety of terrain and views and we visited so many truly stunning places. I loved life on the ship, from the comfortable cosy, quiet (lower) cabin, the delicious vegan meals we were served, the ability to find quiet places to sit or sociable places to have company and a chat. Moving on every day to discover new places and having time to explore and plenty of free time to hike, swim, or just chill in a bar was perfect. It was our first time in Croatia and this was a wonderful way to explore. Now looking at other trips you offer …

The Olimp is an incredible luxury super yacht experience! Vendran our host was extremely welcoming, entertaining and provided useful information for each stop. Our servers Ivo & Almira provided excellent service and were extremely attentive to our needs. The chefs provided excellent high quality delicious meals.
- Michael, 22/05/2025 19:17, Travelled in a Couple
It was evident from the start the crew member had no experience and very little English. He didn't even know what vodka was. Apparently the fridge was down so we couldn't get ice or cold white wine. Beer was ok. He did not bring drinks during the meals and did not know how to clear dishes. Food was good but cold. Cabin was good but our toilet in ran the entire week although we had asked crew to fix it 4 times. We turned off the water to the tank between uses. We would have preferred to travel to our locations in the evening instead of waking up to engines starting at 5:30:or 6:00 am every day!
- Denise, 22/05/2025 13:00, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review of our services! We truly value all feedback as it helps us to continuously improve and ensure the best possible service for our guests.

Please be reassured that your feedback had been passed on to our relevant teams. We also appreciate your comments about the cruise schedule and understand your preference for evening travel.

We are a UK-based company with Sales Teams in London (UK) and Australia and we are there to provide support with any questions that arise during the booking process. Thank you once again for reviewing us and for taking the time to provide your feedback.
We loved our time sailing on Tuna, the crew were amazing and went above and beyond to take care of everything. Any issues they handled very quickly. The food was wonderful and we loved having a BBQ on one of the evenings! Our lovely host Nour had great recommendations and was always there to help us get everything we wanted out our trip! We had such a wonderful time sailing through the islands and made some great memories and friends.
- Tia, 22/05/2025 12:04, Travelled in a Couple
had the best week of my trip on sail croatia!!! the crew on Tuna who were so kind and helpful! kept us safe, well fed, and super happy on happy hour. our tour manager Nour was so friendly and knowledgeable and always made us laugh!!! i think everyone in the group can agree that she is the best ❤️
- Natalie, 22/05/2025 07:17, Travelled in a Couple
The size of the group and ship was perfect for meeting new people and manageable for cycling and other activities. Our guides Ivica and Anita were outstanding and very helpful as well as very safety conscious during our rides. The Mali Ante was a comfortable ship. In general, in good shape with a little bit of wear and tear evident and could use an inside salon space for playing cards, etc., when the outside evening weather was cool and windy but this might be expected for our price range. The boat crew were exceptional. Friendly and helpful. We definitely had plenty of good quality tasty food for our breakfasts and lunches. Personally, I felt the price beverages were too expensive, being higher than restaurants. It encouraged going off the boat while lower prices would allow people to stay on board to relax and socialize. Hopefully, I don't come across as too negative as the whole experience was fantastic, that I would highly recommend.
- Greg, 21/05/2025 14:02, Travelled in a Couple
What a brilliant week, started with the best group of people who we left feeling like family! Our tour leader Nour was amazing and ensured we were always having the best time. The crew on Tuna is unbeatable, delish food and amazing service! 10/10 would recommend!
- Jessica, 21/05/2025 12:34, Travelled in a Couple
Had a great time on the Tuna boat, the crew was so friendly and helpful to all the guests. Our host, Nour was very informative about our destination and always had great recommendations. Our group as a whole was lovely and would highly recommend

Absolutely outstanding Tour Manager Ioana & Crew plus the most pleasant fellow passengers imaginable, Olimp was outstanding: chic, comfortable & immaculately clean. Ioana was highly professional, personable, amusing & a great organizer. Jura, our captain, also. Like way he sat at every table in the captains diner. Ivor, our 'maitre d' is also the consummate professional with an amazing memory for every passenger's request. Every single crew member was personable & good at their role. Food & drink choice was superb. A few observations . 1. The noise level in the dining salon was often uncomfortable for me, I have hearing impairment but the high noise level alarms on our iPhones were triggered twice. This could be simply rectified by an acoustic specialist. 2. 8 am is early for a holiday breakfast. Could it be slipped an hour. 3. Getting out of the sea onto the rear platform is not easy.. A conventional boat ladder would help.. 3. Magnifying mirrors in cabins would aid personal care.
- Mike, 21/05/2025 10:15, Travelled in a Couple
Friendly, knowledgeable boat crew Excellent food Great hikes leading to interesting points in history, connection with nature, fabulous views Would recommend!
- Steph, 21/05/2025 07:24, Travelled in a Couple
This was one of the most beautiful and relaxing vacations we've had in years. Staff was AWESOME. We were amazed that the chef managed to serve such high quality food each day to this group, and our guide Ioana was absolutely delightful! Everyone is attentive, professional, kind. My friend scraped her knee on an excursion and the captain provided bandages, etc. The included walking tours are well worth it, and there was just the right amount of structured vs unstructured time where we could do our own exploring, or just relax. The southern cruse (that goes from Split to Dubrovnik and back not only has gorgeous scenery but also a wonderful historical, cultural, and architectural overview of the area. Croatia has been strategically significant since pre-Greek times and there are many influences you can see in the architecture - which is beautiful and fascinating!
- Melinda, 21/05/2025 05:17, Travelled in a Couple
Dino our tour guide always has a positive attitude and was honest. He has this great ability to make all the different guests all come together to ensure everyone had an enjoyable time. His knowledge of the different locations and Croatia in general is outstanding. Nothing was to difficult for Dino to sort out. The entire crew on the Tempera are beyond words. From the chefs accommodating everyone's requests and producing luxury food at every meal and bar staff Max & Milan always ensuring our drinks were full and smiles on our faces, to the deck hands making sure everyone had everything they need and arranging the logistics everyday of getting us where we needed to go. The entire staff of the Tempera are exceptional and most certainly made the trip what it was. Peter and his entire staff are outstanding, their friendly nature and willingness to always help with anything that we needed was beyond words. I highly reccommend Sail Croatia on the Tempera. Best part of our entire holiday.
- Monique, 21/05/2025 01:20, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Croatia is dedicated to making sure that everyone is taken care of in every way possible. The cabin accommodations are excellent; the tour director and the entire crew were all very attentive and professional; the breakfast and lunches very tasty and plentiful! Whoever thought having a 3 course lunch with wine is the perfect way to begin an afternoon of relaxation on the sun deck! That is, unless you're going out on an excursion or a walk through the various towns on the beautiful islands. We highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Patricia , 20/05/2025 19:18, Travelled in a Couple
What a blessing to be able to experience the beauty of the Dalmatian islands. The highlights were the bike rides! Tonka and Lucija were amazing guides with all the information required to enjoy each trip and also safe rides. Never felt unsafe on the roads. Islands are gorgeous and the bike rides gives a full sensory experience! It's definitely the best way to visit Croatia! Ante, the captain, and his crew were excellent! The only thing to improve is the morning coffee and having tea at anytime of the day part and included in the package. We were on the lower deck, and it was quiet if you have this as a priority on your trip. The group was excellent and made friends for life. Highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Marie-Noelle, 20/05/2025 14:14, Travelled in a Couple
Cycling tour is the best way to experience and see islands. Itinerary was well planned and balanced between cycling and relaxation. Guides and crew were brilliant as was the dining on the boat. Wouldn't hesitate to do it, or similar, again.
- Neil, 20/05/2025 14:07, Travelled in a Couple
Karolina was great and very informative. She gave great recommendations and was anyone that gets her is lucky. The crew was good as well. Boat was very nice, cabins were perfect size. Didn't feel cramped and the bathrooms were very nice. The boat was also very clean. They hit their timelines perfectly as well and we traveled with no incident. I was a little disappointed in the food as it was just average but certainty not terrible either.

There were only 13 passengers on our trip. It felt like we wete very special. The meals were great and the excursions unique. We will sail again.
- Barbara, 20/05/2025 12:53, Travelled in a Couple
This was one of the best holidays we've ever had. Everything was great - the boat, the crew, the fellow cyclists, the cycling, the weather, the food. And the locations were almost too good to be true; every day we went from stunning island to stunning island - we were spoilt with beauty! So don't dither - book a Sail Croatia cycle cruise. If you like cycling, this is the holiday for you!
- Nick, 20/05/2025 10:44, Travelled in a Couple
The Crew and the standards on board were outstanding. The whole trip from start to finish was first class. A lot of thought has went into planning this trip and it fulfilled every expectation.

We enjoyed our daily cycling trips on e-bikes on the major islands from Split to Dubrovnik. Miranda, Matilda and Lola took good care of our group while cycling and provided good info about each location. Any equipment issues were handled promptly. The water was a spectacular shade of blue but a little cold in mid May for swimming. We sailed on Dionis and appreciated the hard working crew and spacious cabin.
- Ed, 20/05/2025 06:45, Travelled in a Couple
We travelled on the Princess Diana from Dubrovnik to Split. From the start, the guides ( Marin and Ivan) greeted us warmly and were very friendly throughout the trip. Marin was excellent at organising the rides and explaining the history of the particular island. By the end of the trip we felt that we had a real understanding of Croatian history in these islands. Ivan was great in encouraging us on the rides and doing a lot of the organisational work behind the scenes. They made a great team. Outside of the cycling, we had most interaction with the two waiters/barmen ( Ivan and Karlo) who worked so hard - especially at meal times - and stayed up late to serve us drinks after we came back from dinner. Special mention also to Marko and Maria for our “plentiful” meals everyday - prepared in that tiny kitchen. We didn’t have much interaction with the other crew members although they were super efficient at docking and getting the bikes off the ship. A great team throughout.
- Sue, 19/05/2025 18:55, Travelled in a Couple
My husband & I had the best time on this cruise for our honeymoon. The room we had was great, the staff were amazing & it was just such a relaxing time. We loved every minute of it- highly recommend!

The staff and crew on the Mali Anti are wonderful. Attention to detail fantastic. Rooms spotless and surprisingly spacious and very comfortable beds. Risk assessments and daily briefing are first class. Food was varied and delicious. The cycling was superb with amazing routes to gorgeous Croatian villages. But the hills were long! When they say 4/5 difficult they mean it! Electric bikes looked a tempting option. But very pleased to still achievable the 100 miles on my classic bike.
- Sarah, 19/05/2025 17:11, Travelled in a Couple
