We had an amazing time! From the swim stops to the excursions to the food - everything was outstanding. The meals were excellent. This was a fabulous way to see Croatia!

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.

Our guides Mila and Lola were fabulous and passionate about what they do and Croatia. Well organized and ready with an alternative plan when the weather affected the original plans. Learnt a lot about Croatia. Hikes were really enjoyable. I especially loved Biokovo Nature Park. Great crew on our boat Emanuel which was spotless throughout our week.

The boat was great and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the swim stops and all the ports Definitely recommend.

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!
- Paula, 27/05/2025 17:33, Travelled in a Couple
Everything was near perfection. The Sail Croatia Reps, Mila and Lola were fantastic, knowledgeable, knew how to keep things moving with grace and good does of humor. The Cabin Crew and Deck Crew were super friendly and acted with concern as a was recovering from a bout of food poisoning (not Sail Croatia's or the Emanuel's Fault). Fellow passengers were super friendly and everyone got along well. Suggestions: 1: Cabins are a bit Spartan and could use a design refreshment 2: Make hiking poles available (I could not bring mine due to carry-on luggage rules) 3: Serve lunch after the hikes

Great and plentiful food, great bike trips were carefully planned for our interest and safety.. Staff was receptive and helpful throughout the trip. The islands visited were magnificent visually and people were friendly and helpful. Learning the history added to the trip as well.

Karolina took great care and made everyday run smoothly. Perfect holiday in everyway
- Hayley, 27/05/2025 07:48, Travelled in a Couple
I found the trip incredibly well organised, good back up plans in place when the weather was not as planned, whilst still feeling very relaxed and enjoyable. Excellent island stops, incredibly scenery/views and great bike rides on well maintained bikes.
- Debbie, 27/05/2025 07:39, Travelled with Family
The small cruise experience was wonderful. We went into small ports that large cruise ships could not go and were able to explore many more fabulous destinations. The food on the ship was plentiful and top notch. The hiking tour was a good mixture of easy walks and challenging hikes. Our guides were well informed and a pleasure to spend time with. My only constructive feedback would be to better describe the terrain and required fitness level for some of the hikes because I feel they were too challenging for a few of our companions and it required that the more able hikers were spending their time assisting rather than enjoying the hike. Thank you for a fabulous vacation!!

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
Croatia is a beautiful and cruising the islands is stunning. The food, locations, our amazing tour guide Dino and the people we met.
- Karen, 26/05/2025 18:22, Travelled with Family
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
Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!
- Mark, 26/05/2025 12:31, Travelled with Family
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

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 …

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.

The whole crew was incredible. Thank you Nour for your karaoke, your amazing personality, being so personable. Leo thank you for always keeping the energy up and the life of the party while also taking care of us. Thank you to Chef for the most amazing food while also having the best singing voice! Thank you Top and Captain for keeping us safe and going above and beyond for us. It was a week full of laughter, alcohol, new friends, and amazing stories that will be told for a lifetime.

- 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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
