My partner and I did the navigator cruise, we got very lucky with Marin as our host and all the crew on the boat were super lovely too, and our bartender Matej made the best cocktail jugs! We had a clear and concise plan texted to us each day, informing us of breakfast and lunch times, activities, swim stop durations, and any relevant updates. (This was super helpful for me as I’m a planner and I love structure but there was also lots of time for spontaneity and free time). We were also texted restaurant and bar recommendations for each city, as Marin stated he had been working in his role for a long time he knew all the best spots to go and shared this knowledge making our experience even better. During our trip my partner and I got sick and Marin took us to a tourist Dr to get some antibiotics, we also had a freak storm and our room flooded with rain, Marin the legend put us in a hotel for the night, while the crew worked to fix our room which was fixed and ready the next day.

The Croatian Coast and Islands are stunning and it was very fitting to experience the coastline and surrounding islands in such a beautiful boat, The Romantic Star The Crew and Captain were very professional, polite , helpful and friendly. The boat was kept spotless and the quality of food was to a very high standard. A lot of thought had gone into our experience as it went by as smoothly as the calmness of the Adriatic. Swimming off the back of the boat in crystal waters and stunning backdrops was a daily highlight. The Captain always seemed to find a wonderful secluded spot, there was crew at hand to ensure everyone’s safety. The wine experience meant that we were taken inland to lovely vineyards, providing us to witness landscapes within the islands and to experience local and delicious wines. All our ventures and experiences were brought together by our amazing tour manager Ivana. Ivana was very thoughtful , insightful, enthusiastic and caring and a credit to Sail Croatia.

Our experience on Sail Croatia was nothing short of a trip of a lifetime! 7 days exploring the coast of Croatia, surrounded by beautiful staff and guests, local, fresh food every day, the bluest of waters for your swim stops and elegant rooms and facilities! Captain Gordan and his team ensure your experience on Kraljica Jelena is one you will never forget. If there were an option to stay longer on that boat we would have in a heartbeat! My partner and I got engaged during our stay and our time on Sail Croatia will now forever hold a special place in our hearts. We wanted to thank each and every team member for their efforts and attention to detail and highly recommend this experience over sourcing your own experiences/accommodation if travelling the coast. From the bottom of our hearts pino vam hvala!

My sail croatia experience was awesome! It was an exciting week with many fun activities. Our rep, Toni was incredible! He went above and beyond for everyone, adapting to the circumstances at each island and providing us with alternative options. He was always friendly and kind and worked very hard all the time. He was a big contributor to the fun we had that week and we are very appreciative of his time and work.

We just finished an amazing week aboard the Queen Jelena elegance cruise. The boat was beautiful and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Our guide Ivana went above and beyond for the guests and was very knowledgeable about each beautiful island we stopped at. The food was delicious and staff Pamela and Emma were wonderful. Would highly recommend!
- Julie , 30/07/2025 21:58, Travelled in a Couple
There is truly not enough space for me to explain how phenomenal this trip was! If you are even considering Croatia as a destination, CHOOSE THIS CRUISE! The guide was knowledgable and thorough, but FUN! The food was fresh and top tier every onboard meal. The skills of the Captain were literally awe inspiring. The housekeeping was tidy, homey and love filled. The drinks were extremely tasty, but the bartenders were attentive, entertaining and always on point. The excursions were full of adventure and breathtaking beauty - and the friends we met wile on the ship will hopefully be a part of our lives forever. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE ENOUGH. BOOK IT!.

We spent an idyllic week on the Salve di Mare touring the islands and I can honestly say it was one of the best holidays I’ve ever taken. The group was fantastic with so many laughs, jokes, and boat jumps at our daily swim stop. The boat is beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. The crew outdid themselves - fantastic service from Marco and Vlaho, and food from Arijan and Tina, expert sailing from Duje and Mario, led by Frane, plus everything kept ship shape by Monika. And we couldn’t have asked for a better tour manager in Mario. At every stop he could tell us all the best places to explore, things to do, and where to eat. I would recommend this trip to anyone -worth every penny, as it’s your hotel, breakfast, lunch, daily excursion, and transfers all rolled into one and carried out in style.
- Selena, 30/07/2025 15:25, Travelled in a Couple
The explorer cruise was the perfect decision for us! We had a wonderful time to equally relax, have fun and endlessly explore the islands. Having your accommodation, transportation and restaurant in one place is so convenient to recharge if you are in the middle of an intense long trip like ourselves. Our week with Sail Croatia was not only outstanding but it elevated our whole trip experience since we had intense travel days before and after. Our boat was the Tempera, the crew is wonderful, the chef is amazing, all lunch courses were exquisite. Nikos, our tour guide manager, was above and beyond the best, if you're traveling with him you are GUARANTEED to have the best time, he was fun and dynamic but also respectful and very knowledgeable; I traveled with my partner, who is a profesor, and we both enjoyed all the historical context Nikos provided daily, he also answered all of our questions! I also recommend taking the extra tours specially the Mljet ride and the Split/Omis Zipline!

We did the wines of Croatia cruise on the Esperanza our guide Vedran was amazing, all the staff where fantastic they made our experience extra special, it was my husbands 50th special birthday while we where on board and all the crew really pulled out all the stops, the places we visited where out of this world so pretty and authentic. The food was excellent, lovely buffet breakfast, three course lunch every day with authentic local cuisine, We had a daily swim stop which was not only refreshing but gave us the chance to experience the coast line from a completely different angle, paddle board made it easy explore a long way along the cost line, We made many new friends, with other guest and crew, had wonderful experiences on Esperanza, it truly was a privilege to be on board big thank you to Vedran our guide and all the Crew on board Esperanza, would highly recommend we loved it 😎

Staff: Friendly service for creating a welcoming atmosphere. Scenery and destinations: Stunning Croatian landscapes, with opportunities to swim in crystal-clear waters and visit picturesque towns. Organization and inclusions: From the initial contact with the London office to the cruise itself, everything is well organized. The cruises feature excellent tours and helpful guidance from tour managers when exploring new destinations.

From the first hour, Anita and the crew on the Tempera made sure we were having a great time. Every stop was breathtaking with multiple opportunities for swims and excursions without feeling rushed. This is an unmissable opportunity - definitely book! Thank you so much to Anita and the Tempera for making our trip the best it could possibly be - the team really made it excellent.
- Kaila, 29/07/2025 12:14, Travelled in a Couple
Everything about our time on the Queen Jelena was perfect from start to finish. Our rooms were cleaned daily. The crew were extremely polite. The captain actually cared about his passengers and making our experience as memorable as possible. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Ivana was our tour guide and she went above and beyond for her customers. No question was too silly to be answered and she was very knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. Ivana even gave us advice about things to to after our elegance tour. I would highly recommend a trip on the Queen Jelena with the fantastic crew including Ivana.
- John, 29/07/2025 10:52, Travelled in a Couple

From the very beginning it was top notch. The crew, our cruise director and Capain went out of there way to make everything feel like we were special. The food was very good, the swim stops were awesome, and the excursions were well planned out. We met people on day one, by day 7 we were friends. Even planning another experience with them. If you have doubts, just do it! You won't regret it.

- Judith, 23/07/2025 10:05, Travelled in a Couple
Our Sail Croatia trip was incredible from start to finish, but honestly, it wouldn’t have been the same without our rep Ceili. From the moment we boarded, Ceili’s energy, enthusiasm, and endless positivity kept the whole group buzzing. She was more than just a rep — she was our hype queen, party planner, tour guide and therapist all rolled into one. Whether it was organising epic nights out, sharing insider tips about the best bars and secret swimming spots, or just making sure we stayed hydrated (and alive), Ceili had our backs. She somehow managed to keep a boat full of wild souls on schedule, entertained, and smiling every single day. Her infectious laughter and good vibes were absolutely contagious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Legend of a Rep. We love you Ceili

The staff could not have been more polite and helpful!! The itinerary was well planned. Great use of our time!! Food was delicious. The boat was well cared for and impeccably clean. Vicko was our host. He was fabulous. Great suggestions on local “must sees”. Would highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience on Sail Croatias Almissa. The crew were all so friendly and welcoming, the chefs cooked food that was incredible and above my expectations. Klara, our host was an absolute gem and full of knowledge 💕 highly recommend 🛳️
- Emma, 23/07/2025 07:59, Travelled in a Couple
From the moment we stepped on the ship until we stepped off, each part was wonderful. The ship crew was absolutely the best- helpeful, accomodating, friendly. The ship was maintained to the highest standards- everything was clean and fresh. The meals on the ship were great (only overshaddowed by the amazing Croatian food we ate while on land). Our Sail Croatia representive was helpful, always available, and provided great insight to opportunities at each port.

- Heather, 22/07/2025 14:28, Travelled in a Couple
The weather was very good, the boat was very clean, the Captain & crew were hard-working, friendly, helpful and professional. And our fellow passengers were great. The variety of tours on offer was good. We would have liked one night at anchor in a sheltered bay. And we would have preferred longer breakfast time from, say, 8am to 10am. The bed in our cabin wasn’t very comfortable, too hard a mattress for us. However all-in-all we had a great trip and we would recommend it to others.
- Michele, 22/07/2025 12:47, Travelled in a Couple

Our amazing skipper Matea was knowledgeable of each destination, personable to every member within the tour and also enjoyed a laugh with us. We are incredibly grateful for such an amazing week and skipper. Thank you Matea and the rest of the Flotilla team!

Daily meals were fantastic, swim stops beautiful, scenery was amazing. Tours were good, but costly so decide what is most important to you. Crew and guides went beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time.
- H, 21/07/2025 08:19, Travelled in a Couple
We had the best time on Sail Croatia our guide Borna was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best time. He was a great problem solver and gave fantastic recommendations when our itinerary changed due to the weather. Our group was so much fun with everyone getting along and being inclusive.
- Anonymous, 21/07/2025 06:05, Travelled in a Couple
There was really nothing to fault. The itinerary was great the optional tours were a good selection (they are optional extras as not run by Sail Croatia but suggested). The food (breakfast, lunch and Captains Dinner) was amazing the only fault was sometimes too much food and the bacon and eggs were cold but tasty. Comfy beds Clean cabins. Bar prices were reasonable. Swim stops were fun and relaxing. Staff were all friendly and efficient. And the views were superb. The best week ever. My only complaint is I will never understand the "Optional" compulsory tipping, just include it in the price and pay the staff more.
- Jodi , 21/07/2025 03:51, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Croatia completely exceeded our expectations!!! The locations we saw were breathtaking, our ship was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the excursions were so much fun! To top it all off, our guide, Hana was incredible. So friendly, accommodating and educated on every stop. We boarded the ship not knowing anyone and are so happy to have 30+ new friends from all around the world. As avid travelers, Sail Croatia took the cake as our trip of a lifetime, we can’t wait to come back!
- Giana, 19/07/2025 17:48, Travelled in a Couple
Our rep Ante couldn’t have been any better, he went absolutely above and beyond for our group and also made our experience so much fun it felt like he was one of us by the end of the week. We met the most amazing people & I couldn’t recommend anymore!
- Madi, 19/07/2025 14:57, Travelled in a Couple
Before we flew to Croatia Holly was so kind and helpful with my questions!! And efficient in replying to my emails! Dino is such a great host/activities director!! He is super nice and organized in sharing details about every island we visited. All of the staff members are amazing and attentive! Since I try and eat gluten free food the chefs were so accommodating and I enjoyed every bite they offered!! A couple of suggestions would be: offer a few games on board and I would have liked the eggs and bacon more done, but they were still very delicious!! I definitely could take another cruise with Sail Croatia!!
- Vickie, 18/07/2025 16:15, Travelled in a Couple
We cruised from Split to Dubrovnik on Katarina, a beautiful vessel with a spacious cabin. The crew were amazing, always friendly and accommodating. Our host, Ioana was exceptional and.nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary was perfect and Ioana organised extra events such as group dinners, and reservations at bars in Korcula and Dubrovnik. This was impressive due to the smallness of the bars and how busy the ports were, that she could organise 30 plus people at short notice. The number of passengers on board was also perfect, we met wonderful people and had an incredible week away with unbelievable weather.
- Denise, 17/07/2025 10:32, Travelled in a Couple
We had an amazing experience overall and truly enjoyed every moment of the trip! One of the standout highlights was our guide, Nour. She was absolutely fantastic—extremely well-organised, kind, professional, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone felt comfortable and informed. Her knowledge and calm, friendly presence really made a difference, and we felt very well taken care of throughout. The excursions were varied and really well thought out, offering a great mix of activities to suit everyone. The rooms were also excellent—clean, comfortable, and a lovely place to unwind at the end of the day. If we had to mention anything for improvement, it would be the price of the drinks on board, which felt a bit high, and we would have loved more opportunities for swim stops, as those moments in the water were some of the most enjoyable. That said, it was a fantastic trip overall and Nour’s guidance truly elevated the whole experience. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

We've just had an amazing week on Esperanza cruising round the Croatian Islands. We did Split to Split South. It was 5 stars all round! The boat was beautiful, the crew where outstanding and couldn't do enough for us, the group of passengers were great and the scenery just superb. The Dalmatian Coast is stunning and very stop was special in it's own way. We will definitely be cruising with Sail Croatia again and can't recommend them enough. I will say, please be aware of the expected tipping!

From Day one we knew this was going to be a great experience. Very welcoming staff, comfortable and roomy cabin. And the food was amazing. Our chief Dino was so helpful and gave us great advice on excursions. Out swim stops in the beautiful blue Adriatic were amazing. We have made life long friends and would highly recommend the Salve Di Mare.

We loved every minute of our cruise and it felt that we were on a luxury charter cruise, visiting amazing places, architecture. The wine tasting at every destination was brilliant and interesting. The food on board was excellent and top quality. Our tour manager Ivana was excellent and very friendly and informative, and made sure we had the best time. The captain and crew were all very helpful and made sure we were safe and well looked after. The cabin was very comfortable, clean and quiet. I would certainly go on another trip with Sail Croatia again!

Excellent crew and Cruise Director. Our route and itinerary along the Dalmatian Coast, including visits to the islands with their beautiful towns (such as Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar) was well planned and spectacular, Quiet, easily accessible moorings overnight. I also very much enjoyed the swim stops. The yacht, Esperanza, is well maintained and comfortable. Delicious onboard food. Very lucky with our travelling companions.

The cruise was absolutely outstanding. Having ready reviews we were expecting a tiny cabin however we were more than happy with the size of room and bathroom. The storage space was a really nice surprise. The daily routine of breakfast, time to relax, swim stop & then lunch onboard before next destination made for a very relaxing week. Being summer and the long days we had plenty of time to explore each destination we stopped at. Korcula & Stari Grad were favourite stops!
