Cycle Sail Croatia

The most amazing experience that surpassed all my expectations. The perfect mix of activity and relaxation. We cycled around stunning islands and moored at beautiful harbours. The food on board was excellent and the people I met were a joy. It felt like family by the end of the trip. Our cycled guide Josko was informed, professional, great fun and passionate about his country, giving us insights into the history of this incredible region along with great laughs, encouragement and always making us feel safe. The rest of the staff were superb also. Definitely a trip to be remembered for a long time to come, so sad that it’s over and planning the next one already 🙂

Wow! What an amazing holiday

From the minute we stepped on the boat until the final beer back in Split marina this trip was just amazing. The boat was exactly as advertised and the Sail Croatia team made the whole process very easy. Special thanks to our skipper, Ivan, who really made the trip a great experience. He was more than happy to accommodate the extra stops we wanted to make and was incredibly patient with our lack of boating knowledge (I think I know how to tie a rope now!). Can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Unforgettable Week in Croatia

We just returned from the most incredible week sailing the Croatian islands with Sail Croatia, and I can't recommend it enough! Every stop was breathtaking, and waking up on the water every morning felt like a dream! The yacht was spotless and comfortable, and you could tell everything was run with care and professionalism. What truly made this trip exceptional, though, was the crew. Our captain was skilled and steady at sea and the crew worked around the clock to make sure we were safe, well-fed, and always smiling. Their positive energy was contagious and made our entire experience. A massive thank you to our Sail Croatia rep, Vicko—he was the heartbeat of the trip. Always checking in, organizing fun outings, and bringing good vibes wherever he went. Vicko went above and beyond to make sure every single person had a great time, and we’re all better for having met him. Between the scenery, the people, and the vibe—this was the trip of a lifetime!

Take me back to Croatia!

We just wrapped up the most incredible week sailing with Sail Croatia, and we truly had the time of our lives. From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew and fellow guests made the experience feel so special. Each day brought a new island to explore, and every destination was more breathtaking than the last. A huge thank you to Vicko, our Sail Croatia representative, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His friendliness and attention to detail truly enhanced the entire trip. We also want to give a big shoutout to the Chef Arijan—every meal was absolutely delicious! The food was a highlight in itself, and we were so well fed the entire week. It was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and great company. Can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough—we’re already dreaming about the next trip!

Best Experience of My Life

The cruise was incredible. I felt at home the second I got on the boat. The staff was so friendly and everyone on our boat was as well. The boat was incredibly clean and luxurious. I loved how we had time in the morning to relax and then the afternoon to do excursions and explore. It was the perfect balance. Our guide Vicko was amazing! He had so much information to share and was always honest with his recommendations about what he thought were the best things to do at each stop. We all got along so well and I feel we made lifelong friends! I would 100% do another Sail Croatia tour again!

Great Family Vacation

We chose Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on the Salve De Mare as our summer family vacation with our 20 and 24 year old children. It was the perfect mixture of relaxation, sight seeing, adventure, and exploring. Our travel rep, Vicko, was awesome. He was always leading the way with great advice and direction. The crew of the Salve de Mare went above and beyond to accommodate and ensure everyone had a good time. The food and drinks on board were diverse and delicious. This was an intimate cruise with only 33 passengers and 9 crew. We truly came as strangers and left as friends. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve de Mare. Thanks for an awesome vacation!

Mlini

I had the most amazing week on sail Croatia. The ability to have no worries about plans as our amazing rep Nora led the way! We had a perfect balance of preplanning and free time. Nora never let us down, her history knowledge and advice was greatly appreciated and she enabled me to get the most out of this experience! Thank you🩷

The best time ever

Noura was the most incredible rep we could have asked for! She was so attentive and always was there ready to answer our questions. She gave recommendations daily and made our trip feel extremely personal. We absolutely loved Noura and Sail Croatia wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth sailing without her by our side every step. We had the most incredible crew onboard the Milini, couldn’t fault any crew member, always had top tier service, the best experience ever

Explorer Cruise

Had amazing trip on the Salve di Mare from Dubrovnik to Split. The boat is beautiful, comfortable rooms, lovely dining lounge along with a fantastic top deck perfect for taking in the views. The crew was delightful and accommodating, making our week enjoyable. Our representative, Vicko, was exceptional—very knowledgeable, fun to be around, always ready with honest recommendations. Met some great people along the way, Croatians are very friendly and genuine people. Wouldn’t hesitate to do this trip again. I absolutely loved the experience!

Unforgettable Week with Sail Croatia – Mlini & Noura Made It Perfect!

Our trip with Sail Croatia aboard the Mlini was nothing short of amazing. The real highlight was our tour guide, Noura – she brought such positive energy, insight, and fun to every part of the journey. From organizing group activities to sharing local tips, she made everyone feel included and cared for. The Mlini crew were just as impressive – friendly, professional, and always making sure we were comfortable and well-fed. The boat was clean and cozy, the food was great, and every stop along the way was stunning. If you're thinking about Sail Croatia, don’t hesitate – and if you get Noura and the Mlini crew, you’re in for something really special!

You can choose your friends but not your Sail Croatia Family

This would be a harmonious combo of the people that we were blessed with on the boat, their ability to recover quickly from hangovers and our gorgeous guide Nora + the phenomenal team that ran our small but SHARP home of a boat MLINI!!!!! Naturally, we as humans are always nervous to meet new people but when me and my bestie were blessed with the people that had booked the same boat as ours, it’s like the string theory really proved itself real. Having made amazing memories that I’ll forever cherish with these new people and seeing the beautiful towns and cities that Croatia has to offer. This week was truly one that will be cherished in my mind and soul forever. Nora and the team played a huge part in this, being the glue that held us all together when we felt like the grim reaper was latching on to steal us away to the depths of hell from a hangover that was very quickly erased after breakfast, lunch, a swim stop and a beer. Big love forever to all of you ❤️❤️❤️

Perfect from Start to Finish

Not only was the location of the cruise stunning but the experience was made so much better by the crew of Salve de Mare and our guide Vicko. Every day was laid out for us in advance with advice on the best excursions and places to visit. The crew of the ship was always attentive and the food was delicious. Vicko was personable, knowledgeable and truly cared about our experience. Overall, the entire trip from start to finish was annazing and made for one of if not the best trips of my life.

Nours boat

Best week of my life. Nour was such a great host for the week and made my experience so fun. She knows how to host a great boat holiday. Made so many life long friends and memories! I’ll book this again.

Best week ever!

Myself and my friends were incredibly grateful to have a boat of like minded people who enjoyed exploring and having fun. However, this was only made possible by the incredible efforts of our guide Nour and the entire crew of our boat on Mlini. Every little detail was more than what we could have imagined, from the organisation of excursions, to group meals and fun games for us to all enjoy. Nour really ensured that our week was one to remember!

- Lewis, 05/06/2025 14:07, Travelled with Friend/s

Such fun!

We had so much fun on Sail Croatia!! It was such a great week and the crew and our amazing guide Noura really made the whole experience for us. They were all so kind, accomodating and knowledgeable! We made such good friends with everyone on our boat and made memories for a lifetime. Croatia is an absolute dream, thank you for having us!

Explorer Cruise

We have just returned from a fabulous week sailing the coastline of Croatia! The scenery was beautiful, the activities were thoughtful and well-planned, the crew were exceptional and the food was delicious. The Salve di mare is a gorgeous boat and is meticulously cared for by its crew. From the moment we met Vicko, we knew we were in good hands. He cared for the entire group like a family and we shared many laughs along the way! Thanks Vicko, you were a tremendous group leader and we loved your recommendations. I would highly recommend booking this trip. If you’re looking for a more personal experience, this small group cruise is for you! We boarded as strangers and left having gained many new friendships. Croatia is a beautiful country and we will be back! Thank you!

Best holiday

Our time on Olimp was absolutely fantastic right from the start. Everything on the boat was first class, including the meals and we can’t praise the crew highly enough, they really made our trip.

A truly wonderful experience

From my first inquiry to the completion of our sailing trip all the staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. A very special thank you to our skipper Mislav and hostess Dora. They were both wonderful. Very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and great to travel with. It made for a unique holiday and lifetime memories. Thank you to all the staff at Sail Croatia.

Unforgettable People, Places and Experiences

With 3 20-something-year-old kids beginning to go in different directions, we were looking to explore Croatia together and solidify a vacation full of lifelong family memories together. I stumbled upon Sail Croatia as we looked for ways to see the coastal cities and islands. Boy, were we glad we did! An extra bonus was the ability to combine a bit of adventure and activity through a biking cruise. I can't say enough positive things about our experience on Mali Luka and the wonderful crew and captain. Our leaders Mila and Mario, were full of knowledge, experience, hospitality, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, kindness and a passion for the beauty and history of their country. The entire experience was top-notch. The meals and service on board were exceptional and delivered with a smile - always. We loved getting to know so many people from across the world with peace and trust and hospitality. We will forever cherish our memories and new friends from our Sail Croatia experience!

Fabulous experience

The trip was easy to book, with lots of helpful tips and instructions on how to find to the ship in Split harbour. The itinerary was just perfect, island hopping everyday and stopping for swimming while spending a relaxing morning sailing and sunbathing on deck. Our tour host, Dino, made our trip truly memorable as well as the other guests we spent our week with. Dino was amazing, such a delightful guy. Our group is still messaging each other on the WhatsApp chat that Dino set up. We were informed each day of what to expect, what we could see, what time we were setting off, where to eat, drink, best places for anything that any guest was looking for. The holiday was a delightful balance of being well looked after whilst freedom to see/do as much as we wanted. Remember to bring more long-sleeved clothing if travelling in May as evenings are cool. Lunch was a tasty 3-course cooked meal which I would have preferred as a buffet selection personally. Definitely recommend the trip!

Split to Dubrovnik on Esperanza

Forget those huge cruise ships THIS is the way to travel. Vendrán our guide always made perfect suggestions but you can do as much or as little as you want. Great swim stops every day and lovely clean cabin and boat made for a comfortable week. With fresh cooked food and only 18 on board this was a revelation. I will be booking again. Loved it!

- Lori, 04/06/2025 10:43, Travelled with Friend/s

An Incredible Trip

What started as a trip with some friends turned into a trip I'm never going to forget. We were lucky to have incredible weather conditions before peak tourist season. Croatia has the clearest water I've ever seen in my life- great for snorkeling. Based off of what we wanted to do, our skipper, Linda, was able to curate a custom trip offering a variety of settings and activities. Getting to relax, explore, and experience the islands of Croatia with our closest friends alone would have been quite enough to make for a memorable trip. What made it a truly unforgettable experience was that we decided about a month ahead of time to plan our wedding for one of the days. We figured there was bond to be a time and place that fit exactly what we wanted. We found our dream location as soon as we docked in Vis. Since we had so much flexibility with our schedule, we were able to spontaneously pick our perfect time and place. Forever thankful for the memories we made on this trip!

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Took this trip with my family as a last hurrah before my sister gets married. It was everything and more I could have hoped for! I truly believe it was the best way to see Croatia. We did the cycling cruise and visited so many incredible places on the islands we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Our boat was always clean, the meals were FANTASTIC, but what really made it was the crew and our cycling guides. Haleem, one of our crew members, catered to every need and was always around to chat with us or teach us a new card game. Our cycling guides, Mila and Mario, were so knowledgeable and made sure to always provide us with the most out of every opportunity. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Stellar sail and hike

There isn't one particular thing - the staff, the accommodations, the FOOD (we had to hike or else get fat!), the guides, and the destinations - it was all beyond what I ever expected.

Another Fabulous Cycling/Sailing Teip

What a great crew!! Our cycling tour guides Tonka and Lola are knowledgeable, fun, supportive, excellent communicators and educators. It is easy to learn from them. Our food was amazing everyday because of an excellent Chef and Sous Chef. Mario, made sure are food was delivered hot, quickly and efficiently with lots of warm smiles. He was constantly observant as he met our needs before we even asked.. Ivan and Ilia were available should there be other needs we had. Anytime we asked!! All these crew members did it with smiles and warm hearts wanting to make our time the best ever!! A big Thank You to all including the Sail-Croatia Office staff who kept us informed before our trip!!

Croatia Sailing Dreams - Exceed Expectations!

Just wrapped up the most unforgettable week aboard Hound Dog (Sail Croatia catamaran) — absolutely phenomenal! The views - Breathtaking. The vibes-laidback and immaculate. Every bay we anchored felt like a private slice of paradise. Every town we visited gave us an opportunity to meet wonderful people and savor their delicious food. Huge shoutout to our amazing skipper Ante Milanovic - calm, confident, and knew all the secret spots. And Josipa Pavlovic was a total gem, keeping everything running smoothly with a smile; serving us amazing meals and ensuring we were all taken care of. If you’re thinking about sailing Croatia, we highly recommend using Sail Croatia - a responsible, accommodating and professional team. This was pure magic from start to finish.

Sail and cycle - best holiday ever

The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.

Absolutely awesome trip! Special thanks to Marin and the Crew. Marin made sure everything was taken care of and became a good friend by the end of it, through sharing stories of his own adventures and really making us feel art of the Croatian culture, DOBRA! The crew was fantastic and made sure we were all taken care of. Croatia is stunning, and the vibe on board was incredible. Met amazing people, explored beautiful islands, and had the best time. 100% recommend! Thank you Marin and the Crew!

Sensational Experience

The people! Crew members, tour guides, fellow cyclists and the friends we came with all added to the entire experience. Marin was a wealth of knowledge. I especially enjoyed the history he shared with us. He is literally a "walking encyclopedia "!The cycling tours were breath taking, exciting and at times very relaxing. Johnny was awesome as a second tour guide. It was reassuring to have him following the group. He also provided so much pertinent information and awesome recommendations. They were both very gracious and giving. Bruno was exceptional, as well. In his quiet and unassuming manner he served food and drinks so respectfully and efficiently. The entire crew was terrific. This has been a truly wonderful time. Thank you to all!

Our biking/sailing holiday with Sail Croatia’s Columbo was exceptional!

The best way to see Croatia

A small group of friends did a 1 week sail/bike tour of the northern Adriatic coast of Croatia. Beautiful country, crystal clear water and very friendly people. The accommodations for the 20 guests aboard the Mali Ante were comfortable and clean and the crew of the ship were first class. The two guides provided by Sail Croatia (Lola and Tonka) guided us through fantastic routes through small towns and villages that you would never see on a larger ship. The rides were fun and not terribly challenging, although I do recommend taking an E-bike if you are more into the scenery than the cycling! Truly a 5 star experience!

- Steve, 02/06/2025 07:24, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing

Marin and Johnny were awesome. They made sure we were always safe during are rides. They always kept us informed of what was happening and what was coming g up. Gave us lots of information about the history of the place we were visiting that day. I believe they went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience.

Salve di Mare Hike Cruise

We loved our adventure aboard the Salve di Mare and the time spent with new friends. The other passengers were easy to connect with and lots of fun. The crew worked seamlessly to keep the ship sparkling, anticipated our needs, and made everything look effortless and natural. Together they created a fun and relaxed environment. Tour manager Ioana was enthusiastic and upbeat. She ensured we understood the logistics for upcoming activities and provided alternatives for those who needed to skip a hike. Hike leader Mate shared his knowledge about Croatian culture and Island history. As an experienced local hiking guide with a background in Search and Rescue, we knew we were in good hands as he led us to beautiful vistas and interesting historic locations. Sail Croatia was informed of my food allergies in advance. The chef provided creative alternatives and the waitstaff made sure I received the right items. The entire cruise was top notch due to the exceptional staff!

An unforgettable week

The most amazing week on-board Tuna. Ceili was an awesome tour guide - engaging with the group and showing us the best of Croatia; as well as giving us the necessary history and keeping us on-time. The captain took us to the most beautiful swim stops and Leo was fabulous behind the bar mixing up cocktails!! Toper was always quick to assist when needed and Maren made up tasty meals. We had a great group too and nobody was left out. A week that I won't forget anytime soon and will hopefully be back in the next few years!! Thank you Ceili and crew for making the week extra speical :)
