Wonderful time

The cruise defied all expectations! The staterooms are comfortable, bathrooms and hairdryers, towels all perfect. Our Crew was amazing—they work hard and were exceedingly generous and kind. Our guide, Ioana, was smart and funny, thoughtful and dependable. The ship Olimp was bougie, bougie. Seriously, we are sailboaters and had no idea how beautiful the Olimp would be. Gleaming! Our group of 8 made fast friends with all of our other traveling companions. Lots of laughter and joviality.❤️ five stars isn’t enough!

"From Sea to Satisfaction — Perfection Aboard!"

I would give Sail Croatia two thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 100% — or whatever else I can say to express just how amazing this experience was! The cruise was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The crew was top notch — friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with delicious meals that exceeded all expectations. It was truly an unforgettable trip, and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience. If you're thinking about booking with Sail Croatia, do it — you won’t regret it!

Beautiful country, amazing crew

This trip was my first time to Croatia, and I couldn't have had a better experience. I was on Kaptean Jure with tour guides Marin and Johnny. Both went above and beyond sharing all they know about Croatia. I enjoyed all the optional excursions and Marin's recommendations if we decided to do our own thing. The boat crew was very friendly as well. They made sure we had everything from toilet paper to special meals, as I'm a vegetarian, to just a good laugh. I have to give my kiddos to Marin for putting so much effort into making sure everyone had a good time. He read the vibe of the passengers very well. Marin also went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I got our luggage back. He made a good liaison between the airport and us. Marin also helped me get a hair clip back that I had left behind on an excursion. Overall, I'd recommend Sail Croatia to anyone wanting to get away and have some fun.

Mrs

Organization, correspondence, accommodations on the boat, and our guide who stayed on the boat and delivered daily short information talks with us were all superb. A couple suggestions.... The village dinner in our Dubrovnik to Split sailing was bery disappointing. Main course definitely weak and very ordinary...pasta with very little beef bits. Also it was so loud in there due to very poor acoustics you could barely have a conversation with the people right across from you. The bedding on our beds on the boat was ok but you should add a second or thicker blanket

A Trip of a Lifetime with Sail Croatia

My partner and I recently sailed with Sail Croatia alongside a group of 20 friends and acquaintances—and what an unforgettable experience it was! From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear we were in for something truly special. The other passengers onboard became fast friends. There was a wonderful sense of camaraderie and shared adventure that made every moment even more enjoyable. The crew were outstanding—professional, warm, and attentive. The food was consistently amazing, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance: breakfast and lunch onboard, with plenty of time to explore the stunning ports each day. A special shoutout to our program director, "V," who was a truly delightful human being and played a big role in making this one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever had. Highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized adventure!

We enjoyed a wonderful week on the Esperanza taking in the beauty of the Croatian islands. Staff went above and beyond. It was wonderful to meet new friends from different parts of the world. I encourage people to consider this as a vacation option…you won’t regret it!!

Kapetan Jure Boat Review

My friends and I had such an amazing time on the Kapetan Jure for our Sail Croatia trip! The crew was great at accommodating for inclement weather and made sure that every sailing stop was special and memorable. I want to leave a big thank you to our cruise director Marin and cruise director trainee Johnny who went above and beyond to ensure my friends and I had a memorable trip! They did everything from tracking down our missing luggage to helping me celebrate my birthday! All of my friends are incredibly grateful for all they did and we will definitely be recommending Sail Croatia to our friends back at home!

Food was very good - variety, presentation All day coffee & tea available Rooms were clean, spacious and made up quickly each day

The best cruise ever!

I had the most amazing week on my Navigator Cruise from Split to Dubrovnik! Croatia is a beautiful country, the activities were amazing, the people on the cruise with us were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was outstanding! This amazing week wouldn’t have been possible without our wonderful guide, Marin. He did a phenomenal job handling some uncontrollable bumps thrown our way (lost luggage, delayed flights, and bad weather), and ensuring that we still had a great, worry-free week! He was very knowledgeable on all of our destinations and activities and made sure that everyone had nothing short of the best experience!

- Hannah, 26/05/2025 16:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Exceeded all expectations and was the best week

Marin had everyone feeling comfortable and as though nothing was a big deal or a stress to ask. He went above and beyond to look after everyone and make it the best experience and create the most amazing week. I would do it again in a heartbeat but only I'd Marin was our croatia guide. He was incredible. We now have some of our best memories for life. Thanks again

- Erin , 26/05/2025 16:02, Travelled with Friend/s

A Great Trip

It was certainly a good time; many of the activities were new experiences to my friend and I. The tour guide, Marin, was excellent and really made the trip. Even what would be a minute detail to us, was a make or break factor of trip to Marin. He takes it very seriously, and treats everyone like family. Thank you, Marin.

Hike with Sail Croatia

This was one of my best vacations ever! A perfect combination of activity, connecting with nature, and relaxation. The itinerary (northern route from Split) was expertly selected and planned, the crew was friendly and attentive, and the guides were knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend!

- Christine, 26/05/2025 11:00, Travelled with Friend/s

Beautiful Islands

We were a group of twelve family and friends coming from all around the globe. Our two guides Mila and Lola were fantastic. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for their country was to be admired and their sense of humour and their laughter was infectious. We had a great time and I would recommend it to anyone.

- Denise, 26/05/2025 10:46, Travelled with Friend/s

What an experience!

This cruise was a once in a lifetime experience. It really was something i will remember for the rest of my life. It was a great mix of croatian, culture, nightlife and exploring! I had an unforgettable time thanks to the welcoming crew and my brilliant tour guide Marin, and his apprentice Johnny. I truly hope to stay in touch with these two because not only did they treat me like family but they made my croatia trip truly the best experience i cant thank Marin and the crew enough, and i can’t recommend sail croatia enough!

- Carson, 26/05/2025 09:49, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent trip

Everything worked like a well oiled machine. Those who wanted to walk did and those who didn't didn't. There was no pressure on anyone. Staff were thoughtful and attentive. Thought was put into what people wanted to do including consultation as to preferences due to weather issues.

Best Trip Ever!

We traveled from Split to Dubrovnik on Jublio with a total of 3 couples. All of us tend to be big planners and have traveled lots of places throughout the world, but this was our first time chartering a catamaran and will certainly not be our last. Jaksa and Linda were incredible skippers and hosts. We truly felt like we were on vacation with the toughest daily decision was where we wanted to eat dinner and whether to have red or white wine. Jaksa and Linda were excellent cooks and great at suggesting activities, timing and ways to avoid bad weather or activities that were not worth doing. We stayed in a different port each night and really feel like we got to see so much of Croatia. We highly suggest going in early May and including a host/hostess. We did not have to make a single dinner reservation and were able to go with the flow since it was not high season. The weather cooperated and we were able to do a swim stop in a cove every day. Also suggest ordering the provisions ahead.

Great trip, great guides, great service

Our guides, Lola and Miranda, were absolutely fantastic. The crew on our ship were great as well, most helpful and friendly, and the cabins were roomy and well designed. The e-bikes provided by Sail Croatia were excellent. Croatia is a fabulous country and biking/cruising the islands will always be a great memory.

Couldn't Have Been Better!

This week was undoubtably one of the best of my life. The staff (massive shout out to Mateo and the Mlini crew) and our host Elena were an unbelievably good vibe and made the trip so much fun. There's nothing quite like waking up hung over and recovering by looking out onto a beautiful Croatian island. I didn't do too many of the additional activities but just sitting on the boat and chatting was some of the highlights for me. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who likes to have fun and socialise. A lot of our boat were solo travellers too so don't let that stop you if you're feeling nervous! Thanks again guys.

- Georgey, 22/05/2025 14:05, Travelled with Friend/s

Thank you to the Mlini Crew!

I had high expectations for my sail Croatia experience as friends have had a great time beforehand, my experience was blown out of the water! The activities were great and the crew on board were fantastic. Mateo looked after us so well and went above and beyond, Frane and Stipe were great also plus our fantastic chef! Elena was the perfect rep for my experience, she was honest about the value of things, gave great tips and advice and was the perfect mix of fun and professionalism. I cannot rate her highly enough, she really helped make Sail Croatia an unforgettable experience.

A spectacular vacation.

The four of us set out to Croatia from Canada via Prague. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with humour and. Assistance. The entire trip we were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful cruise and scenic views. It was a wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday with my spouse and best friends. Throughout the cruise we were updated about excursions and opportunities to visit sites.

Great trip - get on it

Joined a friend on a Sail Croatia (cycling) trip, island hopping to 7 islands and riding every day with a guide. Efficient way to see a range of lovely islands but also to get out of the villages and see the countryside. Small enough group to be manageable. Knowledgeable guides, friendly crew. All round good time. Would 100% recommend.

Mali Ante was my home away from home for 7 days and it’s like a bliss. My guides Ivica and Anita are very attentive and friendly. They made my trip such a pleasant experience.

Beautiful Olimp Cruise

From the moment we stepped onboard it was a surreal experience. Our fabulous cruise director Ioana was so much fun very informative and helpful and was super engaged with all the passengers and crew alike. The rest of the crew were fantastic Evo and Al keeping us well hydrated and the Chef and Sous Chef served us delicious food everyday. We loved all the islands we stopped at and swims along the way were great fun. Finally Captain George was very approachable and we felt we were in very safe hands … we loved the Captain’s dinner and hearing all about the history of the Olimp and his boating background. Highly recommend this ship and cruise and would love to be back on board thanks to all the crew 🤩

Unforgettable Bike & Sail Adventure in Croatia aboard the Emanuel

This trip was an incredible way to experience Croatia’s beauty, and the team aboard the Emanuel made it truly exceptional. Guides Tonka and Lucija were outstanding—organized, knowledgeable, and always approachable. Their enthusiasm and insight added so much to each destination and bike ride. Captain Ante and his crew were efficient, friendly, and always available to help, creating a relaxed and safe atmosphere on board. Chef George’s meals were a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, making every meal something to look forward to. From the stunning scenery to the expert guidance and warm hospitality, this was a perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Highly recommended!

Fabulous week afloat

To be honest our skipper, Simona, made our « Croatian Girls Afloat « holiday such a special experience. My friends and I have been celebrating our 60th birthdays having met at the start of high school. We don’t see each other very often so to have Simona look after each of our needs was wonderful. A mix of terrified of the ocean to wanting to sail, paddle board and practice yoga, Sim was able to cater for all of our needs on a beautiful catamaran Sundance. She even took part in our yoga practice and cooked a special langoustine meal for us. Amazing sailing skills for a young lady who took very good care of us all. We couldn’t recommend her more highly or the team from Sail Croatia who were extremely professional. Thank you.

An Awesome Adventure!

My expectations were exceeded at every level. Our guides Marin and Ivan were fun, approachable, and very knowledgeable. Their different styles in leading complimented each other very well and made us feel safe and special. The kitchen staff, Chef Marco and Sous Chef Maria prepared wonderful and delicious meals each day and young Ivan and Karlo delivered breakfast, lunch and cocktails with a smile and genuine enjoyment. The PD crew were all top notch and got us to each destination without worry! Bravo! The undulating Croatian countryside I saw from the ship and aboard my E-Bike (highly recommend) was breathtaking and beautiful!! The deep blue Adriatic Sea was stunning against an impressive mountain coast. The the cities we visited were historical wonders and each beautiful in their own way. My shipmates were amazing and I feel a few long time friendships have been born on this intimate experience! Zivjeli!!!

Best Cycling and Sailing Tour EVER

We had such an amazing time on the Princeza Diana with Marin and Ivan and the rest of the crew. The biking was very safe thanks to Marin and Ivan and the views were stunning. Marin was very particular in keeping us in line which was a good thing - safety first. We all had so much fun!! The islands had some of the best views I have ever seen and without cycling to the top, most visitors would never see these views. Our meals were amazing and all the crew members were friendly and met all our needs. They all worked so hard. Our rooms had a good amount of space and were very clean. I loved the upper deck with the loungers. We ended up having a few yoga classes thanks to Jan (one of the guests). I would highly recommend Sail Croatia. I miss everyone already and we have only been home 3 days. THANK YOU SAIL CROATIA!!!

Exactly what I needed

I was looking for a trip with a combination of relax and adventure and the Sail Croatia Explorer itinerary delivered it. You get into a routine of breakfast, swim stop, lunch then explore the island. Our rep did a wonderful job of explaining each island coming up and possible excursions. I liked how we didn’t have to commit to excursions before the trip. We could play it by ear day by day. He pointed out key points of interests and made great recommendations of places to eat. The only feedback I would give for the cabin is to install an exhaust fan in the bathroom. The shower makes the room steamy and since we were on the lower deck, we couldn’t open the porthole. The AC unit was turned off at night and without the flow of air, towels and bathing suits did not dry quickly. I would also make sure guests aware to bring more cash than they think they need. Excursions, bar tab and tips are all paid in cash.

Excellent Boat / Crew / Staff

The entire staff, from the captain down, was excellent, doing their very best to give us an enjoyable experience. The boat was in excellent condition, and very clean. The cycling guides, Miranda and Lola, were always asking what the passengers preferred in cycling routes, and then delivering what was requested. They genuinely wanted to make us happy. Even Matilda, who was in training to be a cycling guide, helped with any difficulty we encountered.

Exceeded expectations on every level

Our experience on Sail, Croatia aboard Princeza Diana was exceptional on every level! From the crew -special nod to Ivan and Marin-, to the food, small group nature of the trip and the exceptional friends we made a board, we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives! The food was delicious, the pace of the biking activities was extremely enjoyable, and the views and vistas encountered on each unique island were unmatched in any travel we've ever done. This experience will change the way we travel forever and we are so thankful for the memories made this past week.! Placing us on a ship with like-minded, similar aged people was the special touch that will leave our memories enhanced. We highly recommend taking an E bike. As we felt safe and well looked after while enjoying our vacation.

Wonderful trip

Our leaders, Marin and Ivan P were absolutely terrific and made it a superb trip. They were organized and efficient and had great senses of humor. One thing that detracted a WEE bit from the trip was the lack of black tea and good coffee. There are those in our group that are tough to be around until they are caffeinated and yet they get up early so it was difficult having to wait until after 7:00. On all the premier plus type of trips we have taken in the past decent quality tea and coffee were provided all day via machines or at the bar.
