From the time we got onboard to the time we left we were treated excellent, the crew were very pleasant and George the cook was amazing.

Awesome week, great way to see Croatia

Great crew first and foremost. Run by Elena who was super engaging. At one point she went out of her way to get me onto an activity that I would've otherwise missed, which I really appreciated. The rest of the boat's crew were very professional and seemed to go out of their way to make sure we all had a good time. Lots of food as well and all of it very yummy. Otherwise I thought it was a really great way to see parts of Croatia that I otherwise would have missed or simply not known about, and the opportunity for long swim breaks every day was great. Boat was clean and tidy and highly livable. Couldn't complain about a single thing, just wish it was longer!

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had one of the best weeks ever on Mlini with our absolutely fantastic rep Elena, and our crew Mateo! Great activities during the day, and some very memorable nights out as well. The crew really ensured that we had a great time, the food was delicious and the itinerary was jam packed but with enough down time as well. Travelling just before peak was the best decision too!

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.

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.

Mlini

Elana was a legend, she was really informative and got the group involved in the activities, Mateo was the best drink maker ever, and the rest of the crew were great. Highly recommend sail for solo people as well as groups, we swam heaps, played card games, drinking games and just had the best week!

We had a great time

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.

Amazing week sailing

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.

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.

A Perfect Experience

Had a wonderful time on board the boat Tuna. The onboard crew were absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful and my tour representative (Nouraia) was incredible at organising every day to run as smoothly as possible. Days were packed with a wide range of activities to choose from in some beautiful cities around croatia and there was never a dull moment.

Simply Magical

This was my first time on Sail Croatia cycling cruise, and it far exceeded anything I Imagined, The cycling routes were stunning, with breathtaking vistas. Immersed in the scent of lavender and rosemary along the way, and the olive groves lining the landscape.. What truly made the trip exceptional were the two cycling guides, Ivica and Anita. Their skill and attention to saftey helped me feel completely at ease. Ivica went beyond expectations with optional bonus rides and hikes. His deep knowledge of the area's routes and history added an unexpected layer of richness to the experience. Anita's warmth and knowledge of history and restaurant recommendations made them a great duo. The crew of the Mall Ante were warm, attentive and made us feel completely taken care of. I felt like part of the family. I already have reccomended Sail Croatia and I just got back two days ago. Thank you to everyone who made my solo trip the first of many cycling trips to come.

Fabulous week making great friends

The boat “ Mali Anti “ was more comfortable and larger than I expected. My cabin was large with wardrobe and cupboard space again more than I am used to on smaller boats . The shower and bathroom was clean and functional . The Crew were always around to help , immaculate in serving us and attending all our needs . The food was enjoyable and plenty bearing in mind we were cycling every day . I met many new friends and had a fun time which was again above my expectations. The crew who took us on our cycle trips , Ivica and Anita were brilliant. Helped us all from flat tyres repair , advice on restaurants, bars.interesting stories of the history of all the locations and islands they took us to . They made us safe and looked after us making the whole week just perfect The islands were stunning , cycling through beautiful villages , vineyards and deserved coffee stops meant I had such a fabulous holiday I am back home for 2 days and have booked again for next year!

Amazing cruise

Ioana was absolutely fantastic, her bright personality and fun loving nature made our cruise one to cherish forever, also many thanks to bar staff Harry and Tony. The wonderful chiefs did an amazing job with the meals, top quality food we enjoyed all the meals. Cheers Cathy and John

A fantastic trip

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.

Boat - Bike - Food

Three reasons to go. Boat: Gorgeous comfy boat and cabin with such beautiful wood work with lots of places for the guests to spread out and relax. Bike: Awesome bike riding through all terrain with a close up view of each island. I am not a big bike rider but an relatively fit so found the rides enjoyably challenging. Never felt rushed. Ebikers went ahead and classic bikes hung back and paced themselves. And the food! Being a vegetarian I did not want to get my hopes up but boy did they impress me. Incredibly well prepared food. And with all the biking I had an appetite that was well satisfied. And consider yourself blessed if you get Ivan and Marin as your guides. Those guys took such good care of everyone - especially me being the only solo guest. And Marvin's historical briefings for each island was something I looked forward to each day! Thanks for the lifetime memories!

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 in Croatia

Marin and Ivan, our cycling guides, are well informed, fun, and provide for safety on the rides. The crew of Princess Diana made the trip comfortable and served wonderful meals. I would easily take another trip with Sail Croatia. I have two suggestions….more frequent towel changes and coffee earlier th

A great way to experience the Croatian islands

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.

Amazing holiday

This was an amazing holiday. A great way to see Croatia . The food was truly amazing. The staff were also amazing. We had such a great time and would sail with this company again .

- phyllis, 21/05/2025 13:22, Travelled with Family

Room for improvement

The ship was in great shape and the Captain very skilled. the crew worked hard to make our week a fun/safe time and they succeeded. However, meals are a big part of our annual boat and bike trips. Here they failed. The meals were far too heave generally and the BBQ night was substandard with much meat and few veggies...and they were buried under all that meat. The meal was awful. Equally as bad was the captains dinner of steak that was unchewable...oh, the coffee was worse than any I had in the Navy and I didnt thimk that woukd ever be possible...undrinkable sludge..this boat & bike towr tour 7th as a group. It was the also the first to not put out a nice happy hour food spread...only pretzels and biscuits. All in all, I won't recommend this trip .

An epic week!

So glad I went

Everything was well planned and organized; however, our guide and crew used their best discretion to adapt the agenda as conditions warranted. Croatia is breathtakingly gorgeous. Our guide Andro was simply outstanding. The boat was nice, the food was great across the board, and the crew worked so hard to make it fun. And we were blessed with great shipmates for this trip. And did I mention that Croatia is breathtakingly gorgeous?

Best Trip We Have Ever Done

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.

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.

Melinda and Tom Stoker

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!

OUTSTANDING

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.

The only way to “sail” Croatia!

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!

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!!!

First time cruisers

We enjoyed having a relatively small group of fellow travellers being 36 in total from Australia, Canada, South Africa, UK and USA. Our cabin was comfortable although the quality in pillows and towels was poor. The chef and catering staff did a magnificent job with meal preparation it’s was always delicious The dining saloon however was very noisy during meal times and made conversation difficult The islands/towns visited all had something different to enjoy and we soon chose our favourites. The staff were all friendly and courteous and the boat comfortable and in good condition .We were disappointed that smoking was allowed in the inside deck area which was enclosed with plastic coverings. and attached to the dining saloon. This was especially unpleasant and meant many of us could not utilise this area. This issue was reported to the staff however we felt the resolution unsatisfactory. Regardless of these issues we did enjoy the experience and had a lot of laughs.

Amazing trip on MS Emanuel, Split Southern Return

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.

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!!!

Amazing experience

I’ve done many cruises in my life, and to be honest, I’ve never really been a fan. I don’t enjoy feeling like cattle in endless lineups, waiting for everything. So when my friend suggested trying a smaller, yacht-style cruise, I agreed—cautiously—but I’m so glad I did. The experience was incredible. From the moment we stepped on board, we were catered to with such care. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every wish was heard and fulfilled. The cost was surprisingly similar to a large cruise ship, but the difference in experience was night and day. We had gourmet food, stunning views that changed daily, and amenities that made it feel like a floating boutique hotel. Every night brought a new destination, a new view, and a new highlight. I’m a fan!

Elegance Cruise on Esperanza

The scenery was beautiful… water clarity, mountains, landscape and charm of the towns/villages/islands.. The entire crew was consistently on point and took care of any need. Breakfast and lunch prepared/served while on board was very good. Esperanza is an older model boat, which added to charm. Cabins were very clean and cleanliness was maintained daily. Highly recommended this cruise and Rate entire cruise 9/10. Rate it a 9 because something was missing, I just don’t know what it was.
