This was our forth sail Croatia trip. The previous ones were the cycle trip and we decided to go for a less energetic experience. There was definitely an improvement on our previous trips with regards to both the food and accommodation on board. The chef was producing quality 3 course meals for almost 40 people in a ships galley kitchen. The presentation was exceptional and always plenty of food for everyone. The villages and towns we visited were beautiful as always. Staff were mint.

Die Crew war super und die täglichen Schwimmstops einfach wundervoll. Die kleinen Hafenstädte so wunderschön. Eine wirklich wunderbare Erfahrung. Es lohnt sich! Die Kabinen waren groß genug und auch eine Dusche und Toilette haben nicht gefehlt. Wann immer man Fragen hatte oder etwas brauchte konnte man sich an die Crew wenden. Es gibt viele Angebote, die man wahrnehmen kann, wenn man angelegt hat, man ist nixht verpflichtet. Alles kann, nichts muss. :) Die Natur und Schönheit des Wassers sind wirklich einzigartig. Ich hätte gerne noch eine Woche dran gehangen ... ;) Danke an Ceasar, Kristina, Barbara, Josep und seine Crew und die Mitfahrer für diese Erfahrung!!!

Sail Croatia made booking this cruise so easy. Their website is user friendly with great after hours service. The tour guide onboard our boat, the Tempera (Ivana) made our trip something to remember. She was very approachable, knowledgeable and above all a people person. There was always plenty of tours and activities to do and of course these are at your own expense. But their are also plenty of things to do that don't need money. The ship's crew were fantastic with the likes of Max and Milan going above and beyond.. Plenty of good food was in supply by the rated chefs. The Captains dinner for me was a standout. Of course if you have special dietary needs it is best to communicate this to them as early as you can. We felt safe the whole time. The waters in the Adriatic Sea were very tranquil for our trip. Swimming off the back of the boat was a fun affair for everyone aboard. The crew made the environment onboard fun for people from all around the world to relax and enjoy themselves.

Boat and crew were fantastic. Places we went and the information we were given were outstanding . Best week of my life. The meals were out of this world good., and lots of it ! Ivana gave us the history and background of everywhere we went , and tips and side tours, so we knew we were seeing and doing everything we needed to at each location. Highly recommend Sail Croatia
- Todd, 09/06/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple
Ivana our Tour Manager / Guide gave us very informative information about each port prior to our stopover . It was always honest and helpful. She was accommodating for any extra assistance and was delightful to have as our host . The chefs provided amazing food every day, 3 courses for lunch and dinner ( Captains dinner evening 4!) Staff on board were there ready to help with a happy and polite demeanour. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to my family and friends for a memorable experience of some beautiful islands to explore and experience.🇭🇷❣️

It was my first time visiting Croatia and first time on this type of cruise. Both were incredible - the small Explorer cruise was a great way to explore the islands of Croatia. The sea and landscape in Croatia are stunning. Our tour guide, Vicko, was knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated how honest he was about which excursions would give us the best experience, he never pushed us to book something unless he really thought we would enjoy it. (And all of his recommendations were spot on.) We traveled as a family with a broad age range, and the Explorer cruise was fun for everyone. If you can, I'd recommend spending a few days before or after the cruise visiting the cities, since we spent almost all of the time on the islands.
- Juliana, 08/06/2025 13:44, Travelled with Family
We did so much research on the company, vessel and cruise as we had never done one of these before and honestly we had the trip of a lifetime. Salve di Mare was such a great boat and the explorer cruise had a really great mix of people and good split of relaxing/activities. Honestly what made our trip the most special were the other people we met on the cruise and the incredible staff (shout out to Vicko)

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!

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!
- Camille , 05/06/2025 19:34, Travelled with Friend/s
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!

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!
- Debbie, 05/06/2025 19:19, Travelled with Family
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!

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.
- Luke, 05/06/2025 14:57, Travelled with Family
I really enjoyed sailing from Split to Dubrovnik on the Almissa. It's a lovely boat, with really nice, clean rooms and a great top deck to enjoy the views from. The crew were lovely, friendly and made the week fun. Our rep Vicko was fab - there didn't seem to be a thing about Croatia and the islands we visited he didn't know. The food was the definite highlight - we had very generous portions of delicious food. I loved it.
- Cara, 05/06/2025 13:12, Travelled Solo
The fantastic crew and SC rep who was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and fun made our trip and stay amazing! Great food and service was provided daily and the SC rep made sure to keep us well informed and made sure we made the most out of our time in Croatia. We will definitely be back and Highly Recommend!!!

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!
- Jill, 05/06/2025 11:29, Travelled with Friend/s
My husband and I had a fantastic time on our 7-day cruise! Absolutely would recommend. Vicko was our Sail Croatia Rep and he was THE BEST - super friendly with great recommendations for excursions, restaurants, and a ton of knowledge about Croatia. This truly felt like a vacation because we didn’t have to worry about anything. We were on the Salve di Mare boat and the crew on the boat was top notch. Marko, Vlaho, and Monika in particular were so personable and friendly. They made our stay on the boat comfortable and fun. Also worth noting that I always felt safe on the boat (even when we had windy conditions our captain, Frane, docked the boat with ease).
- Kyra , 04/06/2025 14:51, Travelled in a Couple
Vicko and the crew made it an incredible experience. Everything from beginning to end was top notch. Vicko, our guide, did an excellent job throughout the trip - he was a joy to be around and made sure everyone had a great time. The crew, especially Marko and Vlaho, were great. Every crew member was so friendly and helpful. My wife and I really enjoyed the trip - it was a fantastic holiday.
- Marc, 04/06/2025 14:48, Travelled in a Couple
Where do I start?? From the meticulously clean boat to the abundance of tasty healthy food to the awesome staff who couldn't do enough & went out of their way to help to our tour guide Nicos! And we haven't even mentioned the beautiful Croatian islands that we stopped at all bursting with centuries of history & hidden restaurants & wine bars. If it hadn't been for Nicos we would never have found some of these gorgeous places. A special mention goes out to crew member Max who apart from serving our meals & keeping us well hydrated, he so kept us entertained. I was not sure about going on a cruise with 30 total strangers but it was one of the best weeks & one I will not easily forget.

Small boat, interesting and great passengers, hard working and friendly crew
- Mike, 02/06/2025 15:24, Travelled in a Couple
Everything about this trip was incredible. Croatia is a beautiful country and traveling on Sail Croatia gave us the opportunity to see so much of it, including small islands that wouldn't be easy to reach. Our tour manager, Anita, and the crew of the Almissa were all wonderful. Fellow passengers were easy to get along with and you could choose to spend as much or as little time as you wanted with others. Highly recommend!
- Lindy, 02/06/2025 13:52, Travelled in a Couple
It was a great holiday. The beauty of the country and islands, the culture of the people and most importantly our crew and boat were fantastic. Just a great fun filled and relaxing holiday.

We had a great experience from start to finish. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was tasty and plentiful with lots of variety, the excursions and swim stops were so fun! We had a great host, and the entire crew was friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
- Hope, 02/06/2025 06:15,
Anita was a delightful and informative guide for each of our stops. The staff (from bar and meals to cleanup and helping with bags) were always polite and attentive to us and to the ship, and the captain showed terrific care in all he did from greeting us to maneuvering the ship. Time in the sun and the chance to slow down and be cared for are great bonuses on this ship where the size was just right!
- Beth, 02/06/2025 05:57,
We had a wonderful trip to Croatia and thanks to Sail Croatia and the team. The boat accommodations were perfect for our needs and everything was clean and staff were friendly. The trip to multiple islands was fantastic and each island was different and had its own and unique charms. It was an amazing week and we had a great time and I would recommend it to all!
- Scott, 02/06/2025 00:48,
This was the trip of a lifetime! Sail Croatia was easy to work with, the crew on board was fantastic, friendly, helpful, informative. The food onboard was very good. Loved the pace, having downtime in the mornings, no rushing into the day! The swim stops were gorgeous even through the water was cold! Our “cruise director” Vicko was top-notch! He knew so much about Croatia and its history. There wasn’t a question he didn’t know the answer to and he was excellent at keeping us informed of the itinerary and any changes to it. He was quick to make adjustments as needed due to weather or other circumstances. Highly recommend a trip with Sail Croatia!

My friend and I sailed on the Almissa from Split to Dubrovnik and had the best time. Our travel representative, Vicko, and the crew of the boat, made the whole experience unforgettable. The food was amazing and the bar staff so much fun. The excursions were great and Vicko made sure we were well informed of where we were going and all the options we had on each island. Vicko always went above and beyond for everyone to make sure everything went smoothly. Croatia is beautiful and sailing it with Sail Croatia has got to be one of the best ways to see it.

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
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
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
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.

Delightful week long trip on the Salve di Mare. Vicko was our tour manager and had great recommendations. The accommodations were very clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend!

The intimate experience of a small ship was even better than we expected. You get to know the passengers and crew but also have time to spend on your own. The smaller ship allows for entry into smaller ports that you wouldn't get to experience on a large cruise line. Everything was great, from the cabin to the food, the swim stops, would honestly not have changed a thing. If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend that everyone enjoy the Sail Croatia experience at least once!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble for the crew and guides. Everything was explained to us for the next day and again on the morning. The food was good and plentiful. The cabins are small but you aren't in them that often so you can live with that. Small observation by all my group was that it would have been good to be able to buy snacks along with drinks eg crisps, nuts etc as we were advised we could not bring any food on board. Loved it all!
- Helena , 19/05/2025 11:00, Travelled with Friend/s
The views from the ship and cabin were incredible as were the crew and people aboard!!! We sailed during the day for a few hours at a slow pace allowing us to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. At night, we were able to explore each of the ports on our own or join in group dinners or activities. It was the perfect mix. Can't wait to go on next cruise with Sail Croatia.

I was initially undecided about doing a group sailing trip, but am very glad I did. Klara and the Almissa team did a fantastic job making sure we were looked after, fed, and entertained. The Stari Grad wine tasting and morning swim stops were the highlights. Klara went out of her way to ensure we knew exactly what was happening when, and you never felt it was a nuisance asking for help. There was a good mix of ages and mostly Australians, Kiwis & Americans in the group. Would recommend.
