We had an absolutely fabulous time with Sail Croatia! Dino and all of the crew were attentive, informative and friendly. We loved the Tempera and would recommend this trip to anyone!
- Kristen, 16/06/2025 14:12, Travelled in a Couple
We had the most amazing time. The boat crew were amazing and friendly and very tentative. Halim our waiter did an exceptional job. Our guides Marin and Andro were amazing. Marin and Andro made sure we were safe at all times. Thier attention to our safety was imperative. Marin is so knowledgeable about his country and we learned so much about the history of Croatia and all the islands we visited. He was an excellent guide and we would request him if we do this tour again! The best and most memorable trip we have ever been on. The only critique I have is 2 pillows for the bed would have been nice and more or better wine selections. Thank you Sail Croatia!!

we were on the Salve de Mare and it was a beautiful and spacious boat with excellent food and crew.

We loved our week away with sail Croatia . It was all we were expecting plus more . The bike riding was amazing with a beautiful itinerary . We took normal bikes and it was quite challenging , If you are going in the warmer months strongly consider a ebike as the hills are hard in the heat . We loved anchoring in quiet blue coves and swimming . The crew and guides were fantastic . Thank you esp to Josip and Tashi our fabulous tour guides . We also loved meeting and traveling with like minded people from all over the world - we really had a lot of fun together . The cabins and ship was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed .

The boat was well provisioned, comfortable, and clean. The crew was helpful, nice, and efficient. The bikes were great. The ports were peaceful, beautiful and inviting.

We just got off the Split to Dubrovnik itinerary on the Emanuel with our EXCEPTIONAL CREW, WONDERFUL CAPTAIN Anto, FANTABULOUS GUIDES Dora and Sanya, and enjoyed the experience with a group of wonderful new friends as we cycled our way through beautiful scenery! We travel a lot and the 4 of us felt it was one of our best trips ever! We were also absolutely spoiled with our chef as the food was outstanding! We are HOOKED on cycling holidays now! Highly recommend and give the experience a 5/5 stars!!! Thank you!!! 🥰

Beautiful scenery, clear blue sea, unspoilt islands. Good food on the boat, great cycling (but make sure you upgrade to E Bikes!), A lot of fun and a perfect way to spend a week.

When approaching a. small ship experience we were not sure what to expect. What we received quieted our concerns and quickly turned into magic. Staff ♥️♥️♥️ Food ♥️♥️♥️ Fellow passengers (who quickly felt like family ) ♥️♥️♥️ My goal was to be the first one in the water and last one out ✔️ Pace of the day - perfection. We have riverboat cruised (Amawaterway), ocean liners (Regent and Oceania) but this one is SPECIAL. THANK YOU 🌼 Shout outs to Marco and Vlaho and Monica. Delights. Vhocho was our Sail Croatia rep. I will be singing your praises to all when I get home. Peace -

This cruise was so fun. The group of people on board were incredible and many became friends by the end of the trip. Dino, who was the guide was incredible, very funny, helpful, and gave some great recommendations/suggestions for things. I loved how it was set out - breakfast, then swim stop in the morning, lunch and then exploring the town in the afternoon. The only downside to that is that in the summer months it’s quite hot exploring town in the afternoon and since the boat leaves early next morning you may feel rushed. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because while they were as accomodating to dietary needs as possible, the food was below average for me being a vegetarian. Meals were undercooked and not well balanced. The non vegetarians said their food was great. Overall, I would recommend this boat if you want relaxation, exploration and a great time.

Just completed 7 day Split to Dubrovnik on the Tempera. Everything aboard was thoughtfully arranged and to a high standard. Our cabin was spacious enough for our needs, had strong water pressure in shower, and beds were comfy. Highlights were the fun and lighthearted fellow passengers from all over the world - we ate, drank, and laughed all week. And our consummate professional tour guide Dino - he had us completely dialed in on each island. Excellent recommendations, clear communications, and a true Croaia expert. He was a huge asset to our trip. Entire crew was professional and hardworking, especially server Maks who kept everyone fed and watered. Would not hesitate to book another Sail Croatia journey!
- Nicole Goodwin, 16/06/2025 03:44, Travelled in a Couple
We had an amazing 7 day Cruise on MS KATARINA from Split to Dubrovnik and return to Split.. Everything from the wonderful girls in the booking department, though to the hostess and crew of the MS KATARINA was exceptional. It is amazing how much difference it makes to be sailing on a family owned vessel. The crew and stewardesses were extremely helpful and the service they provided was excellent. The son was the Captain, the father was a deck hand and the daughter and a cousin were our very capable stewardesses. This ensured we were very well looked after and nothing was a problem for the whole team. When I ask for a different dryer Rose than they had onboard they went ashore at our next port of call and purchased some locally for me😜👍. And of course our guide and hostess KLARA was AMAZING. Her knowledge and great sense of humour was appreciated by all passengers. Klara went out of her way to ensure all our on board and onshore experiences went like clockwork. She is an amazing host
- Les, 15/06/2025 11:25, Travelled in a Couple
I enjoyed the swim stops. My room was nice, although the last full day the tanks definitely needed to be changed, as I had a room below. It would have been nice to have the names on the back of the bikes. Most people came in groups, We did not come in a group, so, we had to keep asking people their names. The Josic was very professional. I was not sure what Calam's responsibilities. The bar was very expensive for the extremely short wine pour. It was discussed by most passengers on the boat. Lunch was heavy. Maybe better to have dinner? This would allow people to relax a bit after the ride. The last two rides were short. Often I was not quite sure where we were going to stop. It did not follow the brochure. Captain said we needed to stop in different places.

Our sail week was perfect, from the crew, our sail manager and the boat itself. The swim spots and places we docked each night were amazing and our sail manager, Tim, was really organised each day and responsive to everyone’s needs. We did have some issues with the AC in our room but the team were able to fix it a few days in and Tim was really responsive to this. Overall, highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone thinking about it - it’s a week we will remember always and have made some amazing friendships along the way 🫶🏼

Couldn't recommend the sail enough! Francesa was an absolute legend and she made the trip so memorable - best week ever!
- Jessie Howlett, 14/06/2025 07:44, Travelled in a Couple
I cannot fault this trip! Elena the tour manager was amazing- she was organised, enthusiastic and so personable. She went above and beyond for everything, gave great recommendations and was just a beautiful human being. The Novi Dan crew was also amazing- thank you Captain Vlado for taking us to unreal swimming spots and thanks to Chef Lovre and the rest of the crew (Toni, Marko and Adriano) for the delicious food, service and hilarious conversations. I would highly recommend the canyoning excursion if you have a chance and don’t mind a workout- it was a once in a lifetime experience. Overall, I had an unforgettable week, with beautiful people in beautiful places. Only complaint is that I’m so sad that it’s ended- thanks so much Sail Croatia ❤️❤️
- Jordan, 13/06/2025 11:58, Travelled Solo
Had the best week ever on Penelopa, made friends for life and life long memories! Ceili was great and the crew were so accommodating and went above and beyond every day, especially Alex, Charlie, and Ivan! Couldn’t recommend this week more!!!
- Nicola, 12/06/2025 18:04, Travelled Solo
This was hands down the best vacation ever! We met so many great people, the crew was awesome and Croatia is beautiful. If you have the opportunity to do a Sail Croatia cruise don't pass it up. There were so many things we still want to see & do....we will be back!

Brilliant trip in Croatia with Cruise and great cycling on the island hills and coast and awesome swim stops in crystal clear waters. The guides Ivan and Lucija were top rate with great cycling guidance and history and information on where we were. and we’re really friendly. The food was so tasty from chef Ivana (top class), and Andre was always on form and looking after us with our post ride refreshments. Christiana kept the boat management smooth and friendly, and Captain, and Sailors Randy and Ivan were super helpful. Thanks all for one of our great trips, and to all our new pals we shared it with. Tim and Paula.

Had a blast this week and couldn't fault anything. Incredible service from the crew and delicious food from the chef. Marin was so helpful and made sure we all had the best time!
- Molly, 11/06/2025 12:53, Travelled Solo
Had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. Marin and the crew were absolutely fantastic with everything, always looks to make the cruise memorable and fun. The places we visited were so beautiful and the swimming spots were amazing. Food and excursions were also worth it. Great trip.
- India, 11/06/2025 12:39, Travelled Solo
From the moment Sail Croatia began, Marin and Augustin greeted us with a smile and warm smile that made me feel very welcome as a solo traveller. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of one of the most incredible weeks of my life!! My other passengers were nothing short of some of the best, funniest and kindest people I have ever met. Quickly we all became best friends. Leo, Chef Marin, Toppa and Captain all made the experience absolutely amazing with their expertise and skill in everything they did. The week ran so smoothly thanks to the crew, and I cannot believe how quickly it all went. Pretty much we woke up, ate, swam, party, repeat! The week was an absolute dream and I am so grateful for the experience ❤️ Don’t hesitate, just book it. Absolutely worth the money!!
- Ciara, 11/06/2025 12:29, Travelled Solo
I had the best time on sail Croatia filled with new friendships and fun! The crew on board worked above and beyond to deliver the best service and ensure we all could have the best experience! Our rep, Marin had a lot of respect for each of us and provided support whenever needed. He was very experienced and informative when discussing the upcoming plans/ excursions at lunch, giving recommendations and personal opinion, and he became a good friend to us all. Credits to the chef- the food was delicious and catered for vegetarian (we were well fed!) and our bartender Leo, who made sure we were having fun and knew how to party in the evenings! Of course, we couldn’t have done it without our captain and skipper getting us to all of the beautiful islands and taking us to amazing swim stop places! Overall, the crew helped make my week the best it could be and I couldn’t have asked for a better team!
- Beth, 11/06/2025 11:08, Travelled Solo
The staff on board the Afrodita made our holiday so special. Lucija and Evan our guides were fantastic! They went above and beyond to make our all our time fun and enjoyable! They were professional and yet authentically friendly. We were so lucky. The crew, magnificent! Andre was a doll and helpful and attentive and our chef ….like Wow! All crew was friendly kind and worked hard to make us comfortable and safe. I loved the itinerary and our daily cycle time and challenges. I wish i had an upper cabin but it wasn’t available as i booked later than others. The e bikes were great. Thank you to all
- Carol, 11/06/2025 10:55, Travelled in a Couple
We sailed through the Tuna boat, and had a great time enjoying the beautiful land & seascapes of Croatia, from Split to Dubrovnik and back to Split! Our tour manager, Marin, was very fun and accommodating to every guest. He gave us a lot of tips where to go and made sure we had a great week on board. Will definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to have a memorable Croatian summer experience.
- Joie, 11/06/2025 09:19, Travelled Solo
Had a great time on the Navigator as a solo traveler. Shoutout to Johnny for making the week go as smooth as possible!
- Grace, 11/06/2025 09:05, Travelled Solo
Our representative Ivicia, he was the best and made the whole experience amazing. You felt safe with him, he was very well organised and informative about the activities and local insights. He fit in as a part of the guests and very comfortable and fun to be around, highly recommend him, he deserves a promotion, best guide on all the sail Croatia cruisers we seen and met. Thanks for everything ‘Johnny’!
- Deandra, 11/06/2025 09:02, Travelled in a Couple
Such an amazing group of people with a great environment fostered by our rep, Marin. The destinations were always so amazing and Marin gave perfect recommendations to have the best time. I felt safe the entire time which allowed everyone to have more fun. I would recommend this experience to everyone
- Sarah , 11/06/2025 07:38, Travelled Solo
We had a fantastic time on Sail Croatia, Queen Jelena. The ship itself was spacious and comfortable with plenty of outdoor seating. Our cruise guide Ioana was very dedicated to ensuring all the passengers had an amazing time. The food was delicious and plentiful. We loved the swim stops and the Captains Dinner was a great night. We only had 25 passengers on our cruise and our cabin below deck was comfortable and enough space for our 7 night journey.
- Cathryn, 11/06/2025 07:35, Travelled in a Couple
I had an amazing experience! Marin made sure everyone was having a great time and constantly checked in to make sure we were all okay. Marin was super friendly, attentive, and really went out of his way to guide us to the best spots. His energy and local knowledge made the whole experience even better. Tin tin also was also super friendly, caring & amazing the whole time! The chef deserves a huge shoutout, the meals were absolutely delicious. Leo the bartender was the best, he kept the vibes high, made sure everyone was having fun, and was super efficient. I will miss the crew massively.
- Anonymous, 11/06/2025 06:53, Travelled Solo
The whole e-bike sailing trip was a hit from the moment we arrived. The welcome from the crew, to the bar & kitchen crew and most importantly our guides for our ride each day. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented! Our guides were so helpful and their communication about our rides each day were clear and conscientious of making sure everyone understood were we would stop for a break or photo opportunity. Safety was key! It was a treat to have some challenging times on the bikes as we got to see some incredible views and scenery.. If you enjoy a bit of fitness with history and fun, I highly recommend this trip! So great full to all the staff and we also had amazing weather and our group was the best!
- Loretta, 11/06/2025 06:02, Travelled in a Couple
I was worried to try a cruise as i get car sick but it was awesome! There was no problem as we were slow and smooth sailing! So happy for the Elegance Cruise. We loved every day! The rooms were so clean and comfortable, meals were excellent and we had a fabulous tour Manager Klara and an awesome bunch of passengers to travel with, we came as strangers and left as friends! Croatia was so beautiful and we loved every stop! Weather was perfect! Captains dinner was great with live singers/guitar players! Highly recommend!! We swam everyday and enjoyed our trip so much!

When everyone asks me if I would do it again, the answer is always "100% YES!" I am even considering dates for next year to bring my mom along on an Explorer cruise! Sail Croatia has been doing this for so long, everything is planned and mapped out perfectly. The entire time I felt safe, and excited about what adventure was coming next! I travelled as a 30 year old solo traveler, and it was just the perfect trip for me to do. This one the trip of a lifetime, and was made even more special by our boat manager and guide, Marin. One of the first things he said to me was how his favorite part of the job was connecting with the guests on board and making lifetime friendships. He was always looking out for each and every guest, which can be hard when managing 30 or so people and their requests! Marin even had the one vital thing I didn't bring with me - a hairdryer. To say is he prepared and ready to help in any way he can is an understatement! Don't regret not doing this trip!
- Blaine, 10/06/2025 21:00, Travelled Solo
After travelling solo for several weeks this was a great way for me to explore the islands without having to organise anything myself. I had a great group of 20 fellow travellers, enjoyed lovely bays to swim off the boat and interesting hikes (at times challenging due to the heat) . The food served on board was excellent, and all of the crew were friendly, helpful and very professional. I really enjoyed my time on board the 'Mali Luka' and can understand why several people on my cruise had previously sailed with Sail Croatia.
- Kim, 10/06/2025 18:36, Travelled Solo
Five stars to all the crew and guides in our tour. The friendliness and efficiency to make sure we were all taken care of in every need was amazing! The food on the boat was lovely. Learned a new favorite beer( Radler). First time e-bike and I was very glad. All help rendered as needed , from giving daily overview of day to end if day path. Captains dinner was amazing! I loved this format of sailing and biking as we saw sights that you would never see in a traditional bus tour. Thanks to all who made this possible!
- Judy, 10/06/2025 08:43, Travelled in a Couple
Our week spent on Sail Croatia - Almissa boat - was a wonderful experience. The boat itself was very adequate with plenty of room in the cabin, lounge areas dining areas. Our tour guide Anita was so lovely and friendly and had all the fabulous activities so well planned and organised and provided so many options outside the organised tours. Nothing was ever a problem for her. We were able to visit the blue cave only because of the boats captain and Anita knowing the weather patterns and logistics to reach that area. The cave was one of the the highlights of the tour for me. Good aboard was great and overall we couldn’t ask for more, May 2025
- Catharina, 10/06/2025 08:34, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful week on the Princeza Diana with our guides Calum and Josip. As guides, their styles were very different, but the combination complimented our group nicely. This vacation was the best way for us to enjoy all Croatia has to offer…. So much beautiful scenery, flowers, and history. Cruising along on our e-bikes was a sensory over-load in the best possible way. The worse thing about the week was that it had to end.
- Elaine, 09/06/2025 17:08, Travelled in a Couple
Whilst I enjoyed the Sail Croatia cruise, it was disappointing in a lot of ways and I definitely wouldn't do it again. The crew and boat/activities manager were fantastic. They were super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Ivana who was amazing! The food served on board was average for I would have expected for what we paid. The boat lacked atmosphere in the sense that they dont play music, which in Croatia I read that music is a big part of their culture so I expected to have the ambience of soft Croatian music playing whilst on the boat, towards the end they started to play some after getting the hint. I am disappointed that Hvar is listed on the website that it has an "incredible nightlife". The island has since changed but should not continue to be faulsely advertised by SailCroatia. I also find it offensive to be expected to give tips after dropping $6,000 aud on a cruise, Sail Croatia you should pay your excellent staff a proper wage and not expect tourist's to do it for you.
- Mikaela , 09/06/2025 14:42, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Miki, Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your Sail Croatia cruise overall, especially your fantastic Tour Manager, crew, and the facilities onboard, which exceeded your expectations. We have a thorough process in place for handling complaints onboard, which includes raising any concerns with your Tour Manager and, if needed, escalating them to our customer service team so we can address them promptly. This process is outlined in your pre-departure documents and on the Sail Croatia app. We’ve reviewed our internal records and found no report of your concerns during the trip, and it appears the complaints process was not followed. Unfortunately, we’re unable to resolve issues that aren’t brought to our attention at the time. We’re sorry to hear the food wasn’t to your liking. We’ve reviewed feedback from your specific cruise and found the average food rating was 4.3/5 from fellow guests, though we understand experiences can vary and appreciate your input. Your comments regarding the music onboard have been shared with our operations team for review. Hvar is well known for its nightlife, beaches and waterfront restaurants, and offers well-known spots like Hula Hula Bar and Nautica Bar (famous for their flaming Jäger trains), along with a range of other vibrant nightlife options just a short walk from the port. Information on tipping - including guidelines on etiquette and suggested amounts - is available on our website, in pre-departure documents, and on the Sail Croatia App. Given the information provided in advance of your cruise, we were surprised to hear that the tipping process was unexpected. Tipping, while not customary in countries like Australia and New Zealand, is widely practised and appreciated in Croatia and across Europe. Many locals rely on the summer tourism season to earn the majority of their annual income, and while we pay all our staff a fair and competitive wage, tipping is a customary and appreciated way to acknowledge good service. It’s always optional but very much valued. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback.
The people. The crew and the guides.

We had a great experience with Sail Croatia and would absolutely recommend to our friends and family! Ivana, our tour manager, was so helpful during our cruise! She offered great advice, answered all our questions and gave a great overview each day of what we could expect. I really appreciated all of the communication throughout our cruise week. The crew on the Tempera was great as well! Our lunches on board were fantastic as well. We were definitely well fed by the chefs.
- Lindsey, 09/06/2025 13:20, Travelled in a Couple
Ivana and the crew were absolutely wonderful and made this experience a must to do when in Croatia. Everything went smoothly and timely and was well organised. I can’t praise our tour Manager Ivana enough. She went out of her way many times to give such in-depth information and arrange excursions and activities for us that was far above what was expected or required.
- Kaz, 09/06/2025 13:17, Travelled Solo
Best way to see and experience Croatia with The Sail Croatia team.From the informative online booking till the actual trip. Tempera was our boat chose with amazing helpfull staff on board. The rooms are very well planned and the bathrooms excellent taking into account the size of the actual boat. The itinerary was fantastic ! Saw so much of the smaller and bigger islands . Our tour guide Ivana Mateja was an absolute gem. She presented everyday a full powerpoint presentation of the daily schedule as well as being very informative about every stop we had. Nothing was too much trouble for her . The food on board exceeded our expectations everyday . Only negative would be the price of drinks . I would recommend this trip and team to anybody considering visiting Croatia

The Guides were incredible! They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We really appreciated having a pannier to store all our things so we didn’t have to use a backpack. The staff on the boat were accommodating, the food was delicious and the scenery was spectacular!!!

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!!!

Our bike leaders Matilda and Srjon were amazing. The group of people ( smaller group). We became like a family on board. Keno was so pleasant serving, a real gentleman. The kitchen cooks so cheerful and accommodating. The captain of course got us safely to all our stops and then of course Mr muscles, the deck hand, hoisted all those bikes up and down. Always pleasant. Great crew. Bonnie
- Bonnie, 09/06/2025 07:06, 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.🇭🇷❣️
