Our trip from Split to Dubronik on the Contessa was magical. The swim stops and scenery were beautiful. Access to the swim floaties and paddle boards was a wonderful addition. The boat was recently renovated and fresh. The cabin was quiet and had an ensuite, and there was adequate storage. Staff was friendly, and Hannah had answers to our daily questions. At times, the food on board was a bit too hearty for me otherwise, the breakfasts and lunches were nice.

Fabulous Cruise Highly Recommend

We had a wonderful week on the Sal de Mare ship, the crew outstanding, The guys behind the bar so friendly and helpful especially as I needed ice packs for a sprained ankle, Richard one of the crew and in charge of our swim stops a fantastic asset to you, the staff in the kitchen amazing and last but not least the lady who cleaned our rooms and did all of the endless washing, is a star. The captain and Vicko our guide were the absolute best in the business. I also have to say the ship was spotless, so clean and so organised. I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone as every member of the crew were faultless. The highlight each day are the swim stops at the prettiest of locations where the water is crystal clear and calm. The meals on board were fantastic and varied catering for everyone. Lastly the captains dinner was such fun, even if we were very loud we all had so much fun. Thank-you Sail Croatia I hope to be back and will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family

Best Trip EVER!

We are well-seasoned European travellers & this was our favourite trip so far. The staff made the trip for us, Marin would give us a history of the area and make suggestions as to where to go and things not worth exploring. He would also make any reservations necessary. Joanna & Neno made incredible drinks behind the bar - The Contessa and Pina Colado were my favourites! Teno and Charlie were the sailors on board and made sure everyone was safe and the boat was secure - also, incredibly friendly and helpful. Joy was pure joy - always accomodating when cleaning our room. The chefs were absolutely fantastic, I have never been to a country where I did not have one bad meal! The food on the boat was incredible. The boat itself was fantastic, rooms were roomy, bathroom was spotless and all the public spaces were spacious enough to get away if you wanted to be alone. Overall, this was the best travel experience I have ever had and would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

Memorable week

Our week on the Contessa walking around the Croatia islands was pure magic. So many things to love about it from the size of the boat, the variety of the stops and some nice simple excursions at each one not too expensive, the active days swimming and then beautiful lunches on board before exploring a different island and loved dining on shore each night. Our tour guide Hana was just wonderful and made our trip easy with daily advise, history and support with so many links and always there for anything we needed. Food was lovely and cabins a great size too. Can’t fault it, will go down as one of our best holidays

Fantastic small boat cruise

Great. Was better than expected. So lovely to be with only a small group of 36 passengers to travel around on a refurbished, relaxing boat. Great having a different swim stop every day that you can dive off at the back of the boat. Also importantly exploring a new town/ island everyday and getting the opportunity to experience it in daylight and night time. So convenient having the boat moored so close to these historic scenic towns. Crew were fabulous, very attentive and in a way often invisible (I say that in a positive way in that they were very discrete and quiet in doing their duties). Hana our Tour Guide was excellent in her talks giving enough history and culture and practical tips. Her timing of talks and explanations of things to do and practical tips was spot on. She was always very attentive checking in with everyone and handling minor misunderstandings or hiccups (often to do with outside operator). Excellent range of activities Will be recommending to friends

Great trip

We sailed the 7 day sail croatia on the Contessa. Had a great time, swim stops were a favourite and towns we stopped at were all stunning. Shout out to Hana our tour guide, Nelo our bartender , cleaner and our 2 sailor's and all the staff on the boat were so lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Everything was spotless. Breakfast and lunch provided was also amazing so thankyou to the 2 chef's on board. Would highly recommend . Brad and Renae Sugg

Amazing!

I loved Sail Croatia! The daily swim stops were my favorite part. Being on a small cruise ship was a great way to explore many coastal towns and islands without having to coordinate all the logistics myself. The staff was wonderful, the boat was beautiful and the food was of high quality. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Exceeded expectations! 5 star crew!

Magnificent! This trip exceeded my hopes & expectations. Even though I had heard from dozens of friends who traveled with Sail Croatia previously about the high quality crew, food, accommodations and service, I was still pleasantly surprised at how great everything was for the whole week.

Sail Croatia

We booked the explorer cruise on the Contessa ship and had a great experience! The ship was very nice and newly renovated. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful! The food and drinks were amazing. Marin helped us make dinner reservations and gave really great recommendations for things to do at each port.

Trip of a lifetime!

Our Sail Croatia honeymoon was absolutely incredible! Our boat, the Contessa, was beautiful and very comfortable, the itinerary was amazing, and every destination was unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery. The entire crew made the experience truly exceptional and they all went above and beyond to make our time on the boat special. Marin, our trip leader, kept everything running smoothly and made the trip so much fun. Neno and Jovana, our bartenders, brought amazing energy day and night. Tino a Charlie, our sailors, were always extremely helpful and friendly. Kristijana, our boat manager, always made sure everything was perfect. Joy, our maid, kept everything clean and comfortable throughout the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon or crew. Sail Croatia gave us memories we’ll cherish forever, and we highly recommend it! 5/5 stars without hesitation!

- Danielle, 05/09/2026 13:07, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing adventure.

Sail Croatia was amazing. The Almissa was a wonderful boat with an incredible staff. Sanja, who was our cruise director, was so helpful and informative. The bartenders, Caesar and Kafka, were fun and attentive. The food was incredible. The swim stops were idyllic. I would highly recommend this company and this boat.

Exceeded expectations

We had such a great week with Sail Croatia and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming, and they really made the trip special. Especially Marin our Sail Croatia guide. He was a brilliant tour guide, friendly, honest and great fun. He kept us up to date each day and gave us great tips on what to see, do and avoid. Bane and Marko’s food was fantastic — every meal was delicious, beautifully presented and there was always plenty of it! Ivana and Neno were always great behind the bar and made some fantastic cocktails, while Joy kept our cabin spotless. The whole boat was incredibly clean. A big thank you to Captain Slavko, Charlie, Tino and Kristiano for keeping everything running so smoothly and getting us safely around Croatia. We also loved the spa pool — perfect after a day exploring! All in all, we had a fantastic time and the crew really made the experience. We’d definitely recommend Sail Croatia and would happily do it all again!

Exceeded Our Expectations

This cruise was more than we could ever hoped for! Our room (Above Deck) was spacious and very comfortable. The dining room, lounge area and sundecks never felt crowded. The ship overall is very clean and well-maintained. The itinerary was well-balanced between active and relaxed (we leaned mostly on the latter side). We visited islands that had distinct vibes and characters. Kudos to Hana, our Tour Director, who was very thorough in providing us guidance and directions as we go exploring the islands. But our most favorite thing about the cruise was hands-down the daily swim stops. The captain took us to areas with the clearest and bluest waters. Richie made sure all our swim toys are ready to go, so we could all have maximum enjoyment in the water. The plentiful breakfasts and 3-course lunches were also quite the treat! Service was all-around warm and efficient. A huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful members of the staff for giving us such an amazing experience!

Amazing Experience

This was an incredibly memorable trip. The crew was excellent, helpful, hard working, and went above and beyond. Our tour guide Sanja did an excellent job of making this an amazing experience. She did such a good job of keeping everyone informed and organized. I did not expect the quality of the food to be so good! The chefs and bartenders do a great job of putting out delicious, well timed meals. The schedule is so well put together and balanced. Beautiful swim stops every day, plenty of time on the islands, and smooth sailing. Our cabin had more room than expected. Clean, cool, and enough space for my husband and I. Only complaint is the excursions. We enjoyed the wine tasting. But did not enjoy the bike ride, even though we were excited about it. Long walk uphill, not desirable swimming. Also didn’t enjoy the Dubrovnik walking tour. Didn’t understand our guide and the content was often irrelevant. That being said we’d do the trip 100 times again and would recommend Sail Croatia

Great week on the Croatian Coast

This was the perfect get away for us. Wide range of ages, lots of choices for excursions, great food. Not luxury but great fun!

Awesome Cruise

We had the most amazing 7-day cruise from Dubrovnik to Split for our honeymoon and absolutely loved the whole experience. The ship was beautiful and had recently been refurbished, so everything felt fresh, modern and very comfortable. Our accommodation was lovely, the food throughout the cruise was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. One of our favourite parts of the trip was the itinerary and the regular swim stops. The places we visited were beautiful and there was a really nice balance between cruising, swimming, relaxing and getting off to explore. We did have to make one or two changes to the planned stops due to conditions, but this was handled extremely well by the captain. The alternative arrangements were well thought out and we never felt that we were missing out on anything. It was such a special way to spend our honeymoon and a fantastic way to see the Croatian coast and islands. We came away with some amazing memories and wo

Amazing time!

We had a wonderful time sailing on the Contessa for our Explorer cruise. Vin was a great host and the other crew members were all friendly and helpful. The food was good and it was overall a great trip with an awesome group of new friends from around the globe.

Fantastic Fun

A fantastic balance of relaxation and exploration. Hana and the crew on Almissa were attentive and informative throughout the cruise. Such fun people to sail with and they set the friendly, inclusive tone for the trip. I will be recommending Hana and the Almissa cruise to all my friends and family. I’ll be dreaming of the swim stops and cocktails on board for weeks! Really fun holiday for all!

Great overall experience

We recently boarded the Tempera Cruise from Split to Dubrovnik, and we had such a fantastic experience! Our sail team was incredibly helpful and made us feel so well looked after throughout the trip. Our host, Andro, was honestly the best. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the islands we visited, and we really appreciated his honesty and recommendations about which excursions were actually worth doing. The only thing we wish had been included on our trip was the rafting experience! The crew did a fantastic job of making sure we had plenty of time at the best swimming spots, and they even adjusted our ports to minimise travel time on days when they felt we needed more time to explore the islands. We also loved the people we met along the way. Our cruise had a great mix of younger and older couples, and everyone got along so well, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you to the entire Tempera Cruise team for an amazing trip and so many great memories!

Expectations Exceeded

From the moment we walked onto Almissa our expectations were exceeded. The boat was clean and our room was spacious. It was evident early on that the crew was just fantastic. Hana greeted us and made sure from the get go that we had everything we needed or wanted. She was available for reservations, questions, and did a great job filling us in on each destination and providing restaurant and site seeing recommendations. She truly went above and beyond. Not to mention she's just a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. Kafka and Cesar made sure everyone had a great time. They would be up late chatting and sharing stories with guests and then up early each morning with a smile on their faces. The food was fantastic throughout. We were nervous that things would be bland or generic but they were anything but. Every part of this trip was fantastic, we would highly recommend.

Explorer cruise on Almissa

The cruise was fantastic. Our tour manager Hana was very knowledgebale on the local areas, had great suggestions for bars, restaurants and what to do at each stop. She was always available to answer any questions we had. The food was also amazing! The flavours and range we had during breakfast and lunch was incredible! The bar boys, captain and deck crew were great - always up for a laugh!

Absolute Paradise 🏝️

We thoroughly loved every minute of our cruise. I’d highly recommend Sail Croatia and the Contessa. Everything was incredible. Delicious meals and cocktails, spacious cabins, attentive staff and so much more. It exceeded my expectations and we didn’t want the week to end!

An amazing way to experience Croatia’s coast

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is absolutely beautiful, but sailing with the Sail Croatia ship and crew made the experience truly unforgettable. My partner and I were looking for a fun and stress-free vacation—and that’s exactly what we got. It was such a gift to wake up to sun and clear blue waters for seven mornings in a row and be greeted each day by the most warm and hospitable team, including our wonderful servers, and delicious food. Our Guide, Hana, also made the entire experience feel effortless. Her guidance, support, and genuine care made such a difference; from sharing the background of each island we visited, to organizing group happy hours and transportation, to recommending incredible places for dinner. She always seemed to have everything covered, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy being there. The combination of Croatia’s incredible scenery, the wonderful people, and the ease of the experience made this a vacation we’ll never forget.

Best holiday ever!

I have traveled the world and usually do active adventure traveling, like hiking or biking. This vacation allowed me to relax, make few decisions, eat well, and play in the water and on land. I loved the paddle boards and floaties! The staff was amazing! The Contessa is a beautiful vessel! And all the locations were stunning! The only recommendations I have are to provide correct information: I was told I didn’t need to bring a beach towel and that additional bath gel would be helpful.

- Katie, 14/08/2026 09:05, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent!!

Sail Croatia was beyond amazing!! Klara, our cruise director was THE best!! She was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and fun! We loved the smaller boat! The amount of people on the cruise allowed us to feel that things were tailored to us! We loved the morning swim stops. The excursions were fun and reasonably priced! Breakfast and lunch on board were delicious! The chef was accommodating to distract restrictions. I do not eat a ton of fish which was a popular dish. They were willing to cook other things when notified about the dietary preference before the sailing. The rooms were spacious and clean! If we needed anything the staff was quick to help and get us what we needed. Overall one is the best trips we have taken! If you are debating on booking Sail Croatia- DO IT!! You’ll be happy you did!!

Wonderful week on an awesome ship with an excellent crew!

Had a fantastic time onboard Almissa from Split to Dubrovnik even in the heatwave conditions! Loved having aircon in our room to escape the heat at times. Food was great, cabins & ensuite bigger than we’d imagined, swim spots all beautiful, crew amazing (skipper Joseph, Ante & Kafka in the bar & serving us, Hana our tour director, kitchen & sailing crew, all absolutely amazing people! We could relax as much as we wanted, snorkel, swim, float, paddleboard off the boat (not when docked) or sign up for many other activities (extra cost). Having to ‘walk’ through other boats when docked was even a fun experience! We enjoyed exploring the coastal towns of an afternoon / evening. If you’re considering this cruise stop ‘thinking about it’ & do it!

Best holiday yet!

What an amazing week we had on the Salve Di Mare. The perfect mix of relaxing on a morning at swim stops to exploring all afternoon. Every single meal on board was so tasty. Barbara, our tour manager went above and beyond to make our trip so special. From daily updates of the itinerary to planning meals for the full group. A trip to remember!!

Salve Di Mare

We (boyfriend and I) traveled on Salve Di Mare mid July from Dubrovnik to Split. We regularly take trips/vacations and this has by far been one of our favorite. Barbara was wonderful as was the rest of the crew, especially our bartenders. Mornings were very relaxed on the boat and lunch was incredible every day. Arrived at each destination around 1-2 PM which left plenty of time to explore in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a slower paced way to visit the coast of Croatia.

The best way to experience Croatia

From the moment we arrived at the dock we were welcomed and our Vacation truly started. All bags were transported to our room. This was where we first met Hana, who took such good care of us throughout the trip. Hana introduced us to the Captain and Crew, and gave us all the information we needed to get the most our of our stay with Sail Croatia. From Hana's expert guidance throughout , to the Crew getting us situated for daily swim time and in and out of ports with ease and to the amazing drinks and meals prepared for us on the boat, we could not have been more pleased. Thank you all for all you do!

Amazing experience.

We had a wonderful time on the Contessa, Niko and the staff were wonderful. Decor was top level. The boat wasn’t full but we had a great group that had a great time together. We did ask to change rooms as it was very noisy when the boat was running.

Incredible in every way!

We absolutely loved our time with Sail Croatia. This is the best way to see and experience the Dalmatian islands. The food was incredible, the room and boat very clean and nice, and the host was gracious and super informative and helped us take advantage of the right excursions and our time on each island. The swim stops are the best! You won't regret choosing Sail Croatia!

Memory of a Lifetime

I can't say enough about Sail Croatia and this amazing seven day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. It was so well organized, and all of the stops were beautiful and perfectly curated. It was the perfect blend of fun and adventure, with a great group of people. Highlights were the swim stop every day and of course, all of the beautiful Dalmatian islands with the Port towns and activities. The ship (Salve di Mare) and the accommodations were also fabulous. The rooms were spacious and each had their own bathroom. The meals were wonderful. The crew was so friendly and helpful and Our tour guide , with Sail Croatia (Vin) took great care of us. I couldn't think of a better way to see the Dalmatian coast than doing it this way!!!

15/10 Stars - absolutely phenomenal

My husband and I had a blast on the trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure! We were easily able to pick when we wanted to sightsee, participate in more adventurous activities, or have a chill beach day. The boat exceeded our expectations; our room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. The waters and scenery of Croatia were stunning; the swim stops were some of the best parts of our trip. I was worried about getting on a boat with a shellfish allergy, but the kitchen staff was easily able to accommodate my allergy, as well as others on our trip (gluten free, pescatarian, etc). Additionally, our guide Vic was awesome; he was a wealth of knowledge about everything from the history and culture Croatia to where the best place to watch the World Cup would be. He presented many fun options of what to do on every island. It really felt like we had a private guide (who knew everyone) at every stop. If we could book to go again, tomorrow we would!

Exceeded all expectations

My husband and I and two good friends (another couple) spent a week on the Salve di Mare and it was magical. The beauty of the Dalmatian coast, the swimming off the boat, excellent food, and the excursions were perfect and unforgettable. The staff on the boat were also professional and so kind. They made everything go so smoothly and put everyone at ease. Sail Croatia was also fantastic—great communication and information armed us with clear expectations that somehow the Salve di Mare crew and beautiful Croatia vastly exceeded. Highly recommend!

Awesome 7 days

We absolutely loved this trip on the Almissa. Perfect mix of cruising, swim stops and visits to beautiful islands. Staff were great, food was delicious and we had a great group of people onboard with us. Fun side trip options if you want them. Plenty of sunloungers upstairs for everyone. Only give it 4 stars as cabins are fairly basic but you don’t spend much time in there anyway - they were perfectly fine with plenty of room to store things. So good being able to unpack for a week and enjoy the cruise.

I traveled with my partner on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise and we could not have asked for a better experience!

Best holiday ever!

From the start the crew were extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was immaculate and stylish, the cabin was spacious and comfortable. We were not disturbed by noise from the boat or other people. Nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary worked really well, there was enough down time to relax, sunbathe and swim. The excursions added a fun dynamic to the trip and were mostly fun and exciting. We did cycling, kayaking, wine tasting, zip lining (the best!!) plus plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian towns which I hadn’t expected to be so charming. There was plenty of choice of restaurants and bars and our crew gave us recommendations on where to eat , even making reservations for us. The food on board was delicious, make sure you advise about dietary restrictions at the time if booking so that they can plan ahead for you. We were extremely lucky that the people on board were fantastic. We all bonded really well which made the experience very special…… a cruise family!!

Amazing experience

We sailed on the Contessa. The ship and crew were amazing. Our room was comfortable and more spacious than we had anticipated. The entire ship was spotless. The breakfast buffet always provided a nice variety of choices. The lunch menu changed each day and every meal was delicious. Tour manager Nickos gave us great information each day and worked hard to make sure all guests enjoyed each port. Bartenders Martin and Nino kept us well hydrated and were a lot of fun. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Swimming stops were fantastic

Great small boat experience with swimming stops, and small town adventures lead by a wonderful leader Klara. She was super helpful and guided us to lots of fun. Really liked eating out at restaurants almost every evening. Really liked the food onboard and especially appreciated getting Gluten Free food which I needed. The staff onboard was exceptional. Highly reccommend.

Esperanza

My husband and I chose sail croatia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed warmly by Sanja our cruise director. From the minute we walked on board we felt like a family. The crew was so welcoming and the boat was beautiful. Sanja was most pleasant and attentive throughout the cruise. Vlad our chef for the week outdone himself. The food was outstanding. The bartenders were also so pleasant. Our group bonded like a family and spent multiple days and nights together. The pace of the cruise was perfect. The choice of islands and suggested activities were amazing. By the end of the week we were so sad to leave our sail Croatia family. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to relax, is up for an adventure and wants to meet new friends. Also, request Sanja as your sail Croatia guide. Thanks, Sarah and Dan Link

My husband & I had the best time onboard The Esperanza cruising from Dubrovnik to Split. We were lucky to have a small group of 14 onboard and we formed friendships quickly. The crew & tour leader, Sanja, went above & beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend this trip.

Back to Paradise!

We’ve just come back from our second sailing adventure around the stunning Croatian Islands on the Salve Di Mare, and it truly exceeded our expectations; everything was perfect. We had an incredible time, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones along the way. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew for making our journey so happy and unforgettable. Their service, dedication, and genuine sense of fun throughout the trip were absolutely top-notch! A huge shout out to; Sasa, Marko, Vlaho, Bogan, Zadojko, Julia, Captain Frane, Fadil & Rici, you are all amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend this sailing voyage to everyone. We’ve returned home feeling relaxed and filled with many happy memories that we will cherish forever. We boarded the boat as strangers and disembarked as friends… THANK YOU!

Had a fantastic time on Sail Croatia. Staff were excellent and ensured we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Food was great. It was especially enjoyable to have the time to enjoy the local sights and flavours along the way.

Great taste of Croatia

Loved our trip on Sail Croatia. Great boat. Plenty of space. Above deck rooms were a really good size. Good size bathrooms. The crew were awesome. Loved all the meals without exception. Sail Croatia….would be good to have more information about embarking and disembarking locations before the trip so we could book accommodation accordingly.

Spoiled forever

We just returned from the Sail Croatia Explorer trip and cannot say enough about the incredible experience. The boat is new and the cabins were roomy. From the very first day, our cruise director Borna went above and beyond. He and the crew ensured every meal accommodated my gluten allergy. He shared fascinating local history and tips at every port we visited during our morning briefings. The excursions offered were fabulous and well coordinated. We had plenty of time to explore in every port. The highlight of our trip was celebrating our anniversary on one of the islands. Borna took the extra care to call ahead and arrange a romantic table with a breathtaking view of the sea, a gesture that made the evening truly unforgettable. The passengers from all over the world are now lifetime friends. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone, without hesitation. We are spoiled forever and could never take a big cruise ship again. Five stars, easily!

Best Ever!

What an incredible week! The Salve Di Mare was fantastic, the crew were amazing, and the islands were simply stunning. We’ve made memories to last a lifetime and will be recommending this trip to everyone. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. ❤️🇭🇷

- Rachael, 22/06/2026 11:55, Travelled in a Couple

Almissa

Excellent, we loved every town stop and Sanjay and the entire crew were helpful, friendly and fun. My only comment would be that I was not expecting the swim stops to be as long as they were (was hoping for more time to explore the ports), but all over a very enjoyable week with a wonderful sail Croatia team

- Deborah, 22/06/2026 06:50, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic time from beginning to end

Our crew was fabulous. Lauren ( our tour guide) as well as Cesar and Kafka ( pardoned any misspellings) went above and beyond to make the experience so incredibly joyful and memorable. They showed us the best of Croatia and we are sharing our wonderful experience with all of our friends and family

- Patti, 16/06/2026 13:28, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic Trip in Croatia

It was me and my husband’s first cruise. We had a great experience that exceeded our expectations. The boat has a modern decoration, the room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The crew were very professional and friendly. Lola “the cruise director” organized all the excursions and gave us many tips about the best restaurants, bars, and even ATMs, she’s very professional and sweet. I highly recommend Contessa cruise, a 5 stars experience.

- Ana, 15/06/2026 11:29, Travelled in a Couple

You'll never regret booking on Contessa

We booked the Explorer cruise aboard the Contessa with Sail Croatia expecting nothing more than a floating hotel and an efficient way to explore Croatia's islands. What we didn't expect was to love it so much! We chose the Contessa because of its recent retrofit. The ship felt brand new: modern, elegant, and relaxed. Our cabin was even larger than many cruise ship rooms, with a spacious walk-in shower. Having read so many bad reviews about some of the older vessels, we were thrilled with our choice, as the Contessa truly stood out. The food was consistently good. Our bartenders Martin and Nino quickly learned everyone's preferences and delivered incredible service with warmth, personality, and remarkable attention to detail. Anita, our Cruise Director, kept everything running seamlessly from start to finish. From daily itineraries and restaurant recommendations to helping guests make the most of each island, she never missed a beat. She knows how to create an unforgettable experience.

Lovey holiday along the Dalmatia coast

Really enjoyable! Staff were super warm, friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely week 😊

- Rhiannon, 08/06/2026 19:08, Travelled in a Couple

Perfect way to see the islands without unpacking!

We loved our week seeing the islands of Croatia BBB and meeting new friends from around the world!

- Diana, 08/06/2026 08:33, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic experience!

Amazing! Contessa boat is beautiful. Lower deck cabins are spacious and the ensuite bathrooms are gorgeous. Explorer cruise provided a great mix of activity, fun and relaxation. We enjoyed bike riding, zip lining and kayaking as well as relaxing in the roof top spa and drinking cocktails! Croatia did not disappoint and we couldn’t fault the Sail Croatia staff. Great friendships and memories formed. Highly recommend!

- Melinda, 08/06/2026 01:19, Travelled in a Couple

Great itinerary let down by disappointing food, service and boat crew

The itinerary on our 7 day Tempera cruise was great, our cabin was fantastic but unfortunately the whole experience was severly let down by incredibly poor food and service staff. Definitely not worth the money we paid for the trip.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and that you were pleased with your cabin aboard Tempera. However, we are sorry to learn that the dining experience and onboard service did not meet your expectations and detracted from your overall enjoyment of the cruise. We understand how important both the quality of the food and attentive service are to the overall holiday experience, and we regret that these aspects fell short from your perspective. While reviewing feedback from this departure, we noted that the meals provided fell slightly below the high standards we strive to deliver to our guests. Your comments regarding both the food and service have been shared with our team for their review and consideration, as guest feedback plays an important role in helping us identify areas for improvement. While we are pleased that there were elements of the cruise you enjoyed, we are sorry that the overall experience did not feel reflective of the value you expected. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and recommendation. We truly value guest insights as they help us continue to improve our experiences.

wonderful no frills getaway

Try to get pics of room prior to booking-I think we had the worst room on the boat. Room 2 on Tempera has a large intrusion in the room from the next door curved staircase requiring you to hunch over on far side of bed when getting in or out. That closet opens up ONTO the bed and is almost unuseable. The tiny curved table in the room slants down so things slide off of it. The bed was comfortable and the room size decent. The breakfast was good- sausage, eggs, fruit, pastries…. but I (and many other judging by appearances) found the lunches inedible. greasy rice stuffed pepper served with cold mashed potatoes, a bowl of buttered noidles served with a small thin slice of overcooked meat served with more noodles, Very carb heavy and mostly served warm not hot. Soups and desserts were good.

- Trish, 02/06/2026 05:10, Travelled in a Couple

Easiest Way to Travel!

This trip is without a doubt the most relaxing Europe trip we’ve been on. The way Sail Croatia had this trip planned you really don’t worry about anything; food, activities and transportation. Just how much sun time you want to get. Marin, our guide on board, made every decision feel easy! The transparency and care was so evident in the way he did his job. He was always so helpful and fun to talk with. The crew on board Nieksha and Dom were energetic and made us feel well taken care of. My husband and I made so many friends on board, saying goodbye at the end of the week was difficult. It felt similar to when you leave summer camp as a kid. We hope to cross paths again with everyone some day. I would 100% recommend this experience to my friends and family. Oh and do the zip lining if you get the chance! It was breathtaking!

Wonderful Memories

After doing much research my husband and I chose Sail Croatia and the lovely vessel Contessa. The boat is beautiful and cabins are very well appointed and comfortable. The crew was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough about them. They are kind and beautiful people. Calum, Tino, Petra, Charlie, Nenad, Bane, Marko, Joy, Zeljana, and Captain Slavko were wonderful. Whatever excursion you were interested in, Calum would plan for you. He was always there to help you. He took us to fun and interesting wineries! This was definitely a trip I would recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia for having the best boat and crew!

- Chandra, 25/05/2026 13:13, Travelled in a Couple

Book it!

An exceptional week onboard the Salve Di Mare cruising from Split to Debrovnik. Wonderful staff, especially Nikos our Tour Manager. Food was outstanding - thanks to the chefs! Book it - you won’t regret it!

- Samantha, 25/05/2026 10:54, Travelled in a Couple

Awesome

Had a fantastic week aboard the Almissa from start to finish. We had the best crew, the best swim stops, port visits and fellow passengers. It was everything we expected and more. The ship was like one big family for the entire week. We have already recommended it to others.

- Nikki, 25/05/2026 10:32, Travelled in a Couple

Dream come true!

Absolutely fantastic! The fellow passengers and crew made this trip! The food was fantastic and the swim stops were my favorite thing to do onboard. Croatia is beautiful and the itinerary was wonderful!

Our week on the Almissa Explorer Cruise was amazing! From the crew, meals, swim spots and guests onboard, everything was perfect! The cabins were well equipped and very cute - we had an above deck one. Excursions were well planned and a lot of fun!

Great Croatian Experience

We were made to feel like special guests the entire time. Marin the tour director, Marco and Vlaho who looked after food and bar service were all exceptional and we enjoyed their company and service. The crew members and Captain were all excellent. They looked after all the other details to make sure our time was special.

- Alisa, 11/05/2026 19:52, Travelled in a Couple

Beyond Expectations

Returned from an Explorer cruise with Sail Croatia, on the Salve Di Mare which is a stunning, luxurious and incredibly comfortable vessel. The layout is exceptional with spacious cabins, sun decks, and jacuzzi. The ship is kept in immaculate condition from the cabins, swim platforms, dining salons, to the sun decks. The service from all staff is professional, friendly, and world class (special thanks to Marko, Vlaho). The onboard chefs, every meal a daily highlight. Our tour manager Marin, was an incredible host, all week going above and beyond for our group. His local knowledge made every excursion experience wonderful. Huge thank you to the entire crew, for their exceptional hospitality, we will definitely be back!

- Stacee, 11/05/2026 14:05, Travelled in a Couple

Fun times!

It was a great week! We traveled with two other couples. Boat was clean, our tour manager was amazing and the crew was pleasant and personable. The food was great some days and other just mediocre but you can’t please everyone right? The islands are beautiful and Vicko made sure we all knew what was coming ahead with activities and sites to see. The communication was on point with a group chat. All questions were answered. We would definitely do this again!

Explorer cruise Almissa

We loved our cruise on the Almissa, we sailed from Dubrovnik to Split. We had a wonderful week, the crew the food & locations were amazing. We were so lucky to have Dino as our tour guide, he made our trip the best, he gave as so much information on where to eat, what to see, great swim stops, when the weather wasn’t great he organised alternatives which we much appreciated. We had the time of our lives, we loved Croatia!!

Superb

Perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, your choice! With breakfast and lunch (3 course) included every day and a swim stop in between (my fave part) the afternoon and evening were yours to explore the next town/island. You could choose one of the organised excursions or do your own thing. Nothing was too much trouble, the crew were the best and our tour manager Klara was the bomb!! Thank you Salve di Mare! We miss you already

Cruising in Croatia

After extensive research by both my husband and myself, we joined the Sail Croatia, Salve de Mare cruise this past September. Looking for a smaller cruising footprint with excursions was our goal and Sail Croatia did not disappoint. From the date of our embarking to our final day with our new international friends and a wonderful crew, our adventure was just that... a true adventure! We would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to our friends, co-workers and family members! Adventure awaits with Sail Croatia!

Wonderful Vacation

This cruise checked all the boxes! From the moment we stepped on to the boat until the moment we stepped off, we did not have one complaint. The itinerary was perfect, food was delicious, a good balance of down time and touring, swim stops were fun, and the most wonderful crew! And Anita was the perfect tour director!

Incredible Experience

This cruise was better than we even anticipated. The crew was great, very responsive, personable, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious; every meal was expertly prepared and what you’d expect from a 5-Star restaurant. Weather required that we pivot from the original schedule but the captain and the guide made sure we had good alternatives for swimming and exploring. Highly recommend this trip.

- Sharon, 06/10/2025 08:08, Travelled in a Couple

Disappointed with food quality and outdoor deck furniture availability

Improve breakfast offerings, variety and presentation. Offer better quality coffee and tea options. Communication with passengers and kitchen waiting staff. Improve lunch offerings, more vegetables, and meat quality and variety. Serve tables with waiters offering drinks. Have coffee and tea making available during day with biscuits etc The discussion of itinerary to be held prior to lunch service. No smoking on ship for passengers and crew. Provide equal number of deck chairs to passengers. We had 10 deck chairs for 36 passengers and I witnessed a passenger confrontation Set outdoor furniture up for passenger comfort prior to breakfast service

Salve di Mare - Dubrovnik to Split Cruise

The trip was wonderful! Klara was incredibly knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and super helpful to give recommendations. The crew were well equipped in making sure all passengers had a safe and enjoyable cruise from port to port. The chefs made delicious meals for us each day and the bartenders were a delight, always willing to serve with a smile, despite their long hours and early mornings! My husband and i would highly recommend this trip to others.

- Brittini, 29/09/2025 10:00, Travelled in a Couple

Not to be missed

We chose Sail Crotia for the small size of the ship and passenger count. I have always been attracted to Croatia and this was the perfect opportunity to get an intimate look. The ship, the Salve d’ Mar was lovely. Well kept, modern and spacious. Our staff was friendly accommodating and fun. The tour director Klara was i i formative and fun. Although we preferred a top deck cabin our lower deck was perfect. Comfortable bed, nice size bath and hot showers. We would highly recommend the Sail Crotia line and this ship specifically

- Christine, 22/09/2025 18:47, Travelled in a Couple

Everything I had hoped for

From the minute we were told on the app where to board our boat we were looked after. Food was excellent throughout the week and the crew endeavour to make our holiday fun and special. They all work very hard but in a very discreet way. Our cabin which was spacious was cleaned daily. The captain Frane very professional, Klara our host was amazing and kept us up to date with the events and movement of the boat and excursions. The deck hands and bar staff were all so friendly and the other guests we had such a lovely relaxing holiday but also managed to see so many beautiful destinations with this kind of holiday. I loved the variety and we have made many long distance friends as a result. Would highly recommend sail Croatia.

4 BIG Thumbs up from Canadians on board the Salve Di Mare

We can not speak highly enough of our time on Salve De Mare! We met and created friendships and memories and were treated so well by the Captain and Staff! Captain Franne found us the most beautiful swim spots! Our Rep Klara was funny, kind, knowledgeable and always on to help us, answer ANY question or request. Our servers/barmen Vlaho & Marco were awesome. Friendly, chatty, and efficient!! They are really good at their jobs! Chefs food was delicious!!! Lots of variety and creativity with the dishes- we were never disappointed! A huge shout out to Monika who mostly stayed in the shadows of the halls and cleaning up after all of us! And to the deckhands, your jobs are appreciated! Overall this is a trip we will never forget and thanks the crew of the Salve De Mare for making it happen’

- Melissa & Chad, 22/09/2025 14:23, Travelled in a Couple

Great week sailing & exploring beautiful places

We did the Explorer cruise which was a lot of fun! Dino & crew were great. providing the group with recommendations for things to do, eat & drink each day. There is the chance for relaxation, swimming, paddle boarding etc & you could book to do excursions or go explore for yourself. The food was delicious, but they do forget about dietary requirements. I spoke to the company before arrival about dairy intolerance, again on check in & during service but gave up in the end. Fortunately it isn’t an allergy I suffer with. Excursions were hit & miss. Some were overpriced and discouraged to do which seems odd to advertise them. The evening dinner & local tour was fab but rushed, a little longer was needed during the meal & drinks to relax. We missed out on the bike tour in Mljet National Park due to winds eventhough other Sail Croatia tours were going there, it seemed there was a rush to get to Dubrovnik?? So be aware the itinerary can change but beautiful swim stops as an alternative.

- Kerry, 22/09/2025 14:12, Travelled in a Couple

A great week

We had a wonderful week. The staff was amazing, helpful and friendly. The ports and swim stops were unreal. My only negative feedback would be the food. I did not enjoy the food at all. Another negative was how dark the bathrooms are.

We had an amazing time. The staff, excursions, service and food was 5 stars but I gave the survey 4 stars because of the condition of the boat. This boat needs maintenance and upgrades.

Value for money, excellent cruise staff and a great bunch of people on the cruise. The food was excellent. Cabins quiet, clean and comfortable. Vik our tour manager was THE BEST he provided us with so many options and opportunities. When the weather was not so great he worked really hard to find other activities to do. The captain changed our destination so we didn’t experience too many rough conditions. Honestly all the staff worked extremely to give us the most fantastic time. We are sad it is over.

Great Experience would highly recommend Sail Croatia !

Having celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with Sail Croatia was truly one of the most memorable and magical experiences of our life . From the moment we stepped on board, we were welcomed with warm hospitality , impeccable service and stunning views. The representative Dino along with the Captain Josip and the entire crew ( waiters/chef and sailors ) went above and beyond to make this experience even more pleasurable,. It was a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. We returned home with unforgettable memories and a deep gratitude for the journey we shared both on sea and in life.

Explorer cruise Split to Dubrovnik on Tempera

Had a really fab week aboard the Tempera. Was the perfect mix of downtime, swim stops, activities and socialising. Changeable weather meant we missed Vis and spent an extra night on Hvar at Jelsa, which turned out to be one of my favourite places. The food was excellent and plentiful - I've never eaten so much! Our cabin was excellent too - 'the penthouse' on the second deck, possibly because I booked a year in advance. Loved watching the sunrise out the window. Couldn't get the TV tuned so bring a fire stick or something if you want to use that. Staff were all great, especially Tomas who kept an eye on us at swim stops - always smiling. There was a couple of big groups on our boat which made me nervous we'd be excluded but we made friends no problem and had a blast.

Relaxing and fun cruise in stunning Croatia

Sail Croatia, Dubrovnik to Spit on Salve di Mare with Vicko as our tour manager was a highlight of our European holiday. We chose an Explorer itinerary hoping for likeminded people on the cruise and could not have asked for a better group of people and crew to explore Croatian islands with. We chose excursions that interested us, and sometimes decided to relax and explore on our own. The morning swim stops were spectacular!. We had a lower deck room and were surprised by its generous size. The crew on Salve di Mare were wonderful, and nothing was ever too much for Vicko, who explained the history and attractions of where we were next visiting, and he was happy to make suggestions and reservations for us. We highly recommend this cruise and hope to return to beautiful Croatia!

Week on the Almissa

We really enjoyed our week on the Almissa, all of the crew were very friendly and professional at all times. The breakfast selections were excellent and most lunches delicious and big servings. The boat was kept very clean at all times. Only negative for us was that we would have like clean towels supplied more frequently as they were only changed once. Also a bath mat supplied for the slippery floor in the bathroom. We would recommend the Almissa & Sail Croatia & would love to book again in the future... Kind Regards to the team!

Amazing!

We had the best week onboard the Almissa. The crew were amazing, always eager to help. Tour Manager Dino was full of local knowledge and it was so helpful when he shared tips and suggestions of where to eat and what to do at each port. The captain adjusted the schedule slightly to ensure we had the best experience on each island, this included swapping ports around so we could visit the Blue Cave in Vis, which was definitely a highlight of our trip. Thank you to all the crew for making this a truly memorable trip.

- Heather, 02/09/2025 07:03, Travelled in a Couple

Dino is the best !!!

Almissa was truly the best boat ever !!! We had the most unforgettable week around Croatia. Dino was very informative and accomodating helping us book restaurants and ensuring we had the best experience on sail! I can’t recommend this boat enough!!

- Claudia, 01/09/2025 18:06, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing week

The week was amazing cruising through the islands, stopping to swim each day and exploring the cute towns. The crew was really friendly/fun (our host was Dino) and the rooms were far more spacious than we expected. One thing to note was that the excursions weren’t included in the booking cost so we ended up spending quite a lot more on doing the activities (30-60 euro pp on each activity). They provided heeeaaaps of food for breakfast and lunch and catered to my dietary requirements (gluten free as I am coeliac) but unfortunately the desserts were pretty sad compared to everyone else’s - usually packet custard/mousse with fruit or just fruit alone :(

- Zara, 01/09/2025 08:30, Travelled in a Couple

One of the best trips I've been on!

We had the most incredible week sailing with Sail Croatia on the Salve di Mare! The whole experience felt so luxurious, the cabins were much bigger than expected, the food was absolutely outstanding, and there was always plenty of space to relax and sunbathe on board. Each day was perfectly planned with swim stops in beautiful spots, a great selection of excursions, and the most welcoming crew who made everything seamless. A special highlight was our expert tour guide Vicko, who was not only friendly and helpful but also gave fantastic morning briefings that brought each destination to life and helped us make the most of our time there! In just 7 days we managed to pack in so many incredible experiences that it honestly felt like a much longer holiday. Sail Croatia exceeded all of our expectations – I couldn’t recommend it more!

- Christina, 01/09/2025 07:42, Travelled in a Couple

One of the best experiences of my life!

I am so grateful for the incredible experience. We sailed for 7 nights from Dubrovnik to Split and loved it! We were surrounded by a wonderful group of like minded people and made friends for life. Lola and Max honestly were the best and provided a wonderful atmosphere and experience. The experience could only be slightly improved by a few tiny things, better coffee on board, the smell around the front lower cabins and swim stops being a little later and longer. But this did not take away from the incredible time we had and we will recommend this to everyone we know! Thank you Sail Croatia!

We had the pleasure of sailing with the Tempera crew and with Lola! Safe to say we had the best week ever!! The crew were just amazing, nothing was too much especially for our endless drinks with Max and Milan! We had such an amazing group of people on the boat, ones we will stay close with for a long time. Thanks again, we hope to do it another time ❤️

Such a great experience!!

Everything was so easy! From booking to getting on the boat to all the activities. Our rep Vik was amazing and so knowledgeable. Made all our excursions a breeze and kept us informed of any changes and our next day activities. Our crew was phenomenal and made sure we were well fed, drinks flowing and safe and having the best time. All such lovely, hard working people. Met some amazing new friends on board. If your thinking about it, just book it. You will not be dissapointed.

Trip of a lifetime!

5 STAR - from the chefs, bar staff (Maxie!!) The deckhands, the captain & our wonderful coordinator BIG VIC! how do we even start to thank you for our 2 weeks on board the Tempera! Yes 2 weeks - we enjoyed the ole girl from Split to Dubrovnik and back to Split. Being on an intimate boat we got to enjoy the staff & guests alike. The incredible port locations - the excursions offered and if weather was an issue we were told immediately but was filled with something else that was fun or a port just as good! The swim stops - this was a highlight of every day! How do you even describe where we would be placed! Was just the best!! Again the fun with the guests was just magic..The food! these two boys would perform meal after meal from that galley - the breakfast - our highlight as it would bring us all together to start the day! - portions were really good & having our breakfast hot & all the chatter in the saloon was a perfect to bond with other guests! WE LOVED IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH X

Split to Dubrovnik

Everything about this trip was amazing, Our room on the boat was excellent and the food and wine were wonderful. It was the perfect mix of relaxing swim stops in crystal clear water to really fun excursions. The buggy ride in Korcula was a highlight and the wine tasting was also great. Our tour guide Dino knew the areas we visited really well and was always helping us with information on things to see and do and restaurants to try. Dino and all the crew went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. We cannot recommend this trip highly enough.

- Michelle, 19/08/2025 06:26, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing Experience

We had an amazing experience recently when we sailed with Sail Croatia, on-board their ship, Almissa, with a fabulous crew and our Tour Director, Dino. Communication before the cruise was relevant and regular. The app gave us detailed information and following emails provided even more information. During the cruise Dino gave us regular updates on sailing, stops, excursions and activities. He was most helpful in his recommendations for places to eat, see and enjoy. We would definitely recommend these cruises whether you are wanting exploration or relaxation there is something fir everyone. The crew are friendly and helpful. We were well looked after and enjoyed our continental breakfasts and delicious 3 course lunches. We had fun, we had relaxation and we look forward to visiting again on the future.

- Kim , 15/08/2025 22:42, Travelled in a Couple

Great Cruise

The cruise was lovely, very relaxed. Buffet breakfast in morning, swim stops and relaxing, then 3 course lunch and afternoon is free with lots of suggestions and opportunities to enjoy each stop. Staff were all so friendly and kind. Our below deck rooms were high quality and spotlessly clean. Food was high quality. The staff made everything easy and fun. Island stops were fabulous loved them all. Salve de mere was a beautiful ship spotlessly clean. Thank you Sail Croatia

Best Vacation Ever!

My husband and I both agreed that this was the best vacation we have ever had. We just completed the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise and it was absolutely amazing. The Dalmatian Coast of Croatia and the Adriatic Sea are absolutely breathtaking. Every view was picture perfect; so that was a great start. Then, our ship, our crew and our fellow travelers made the overall experience outstanding. The crew took care of our every need. They were thoughtful and gracious. Our rooms were spacious and clean. The food was very good with generous portions. It was also a lot of fun interacting with our fellow travelers. Every stop had something new and interesting to see and the history mixed with the beauty makes this trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and we will definitely be back! Thank you to the Almissa crew for the best vacation ever!

- Kari, 11/08/2025 21:19, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing trip!

Cruising with sail Croatia was the perfect mix of relaxing and adventure. Our boat, the Tempura, was great and Anita, our sail Croatia representative, made everything so easy! She sent us recommendations at every stop that were all amazing and made all of the logistics with excursions so easy. You could tell she really cared about everyone having the best trip possible! Our itinerary changed due to some weather but she still able to coordinate everything perfectly!

Incredible Experience Aboard Mali Ante with Sail Croatia

We had an amazing week on Mali Ante with Sail Croatia. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The boat was spotless, our cabin was spacious, and the comfy deck chairs on the top deck were perfect for relaxing. The crew were fantastic, especially Mario, who went above and beyond for my gluten-free needs and always had a smile on his face. The chef’s meals were incredible and tasted like a gourmet meals. Our guide Lola was full of great tips and went above and beyond. We were lucky to have such a fun group onboard. We made genuine friends. The first couple of days brought bad weather, but it didn’t dampen the trip. The captain quickly adjusted the route for safety and enjoyment, choosing to stay longer in a town with more to do. A great call which was clearly explained.. The swim stops, beautiful islands, and ending in Dubrovnik made it unforgettable. We’d absolutely recommend the Explorer Cruise on Mali Ante, the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and great people.

- Anonymous, 04/08/2025 10:30, Travelled in a Couple

Trip of a lifetime!

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!

- Angelka, 31/07/2025 12:34, Travelled in a Couple

Once in a Lifetime Experince

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!.

- Erin Leigh & Michael, 30/07/2025 18:51, Travelled in a Couple

One of my best holidays ever

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 best cruise experience

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!

- Eloisa Martínez , 30/07/2025 11:50, Travelled in a Couple

Best decision

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.

- Anonymous, 29/07/2025 15:44, Travelled in a Couple

Best experience ever!

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

The cruise was amazing and the staff were great. Mario and Marlo were brilliant, as were the rest of the staff. The islands were perfect and a great balance of people on board.

- Meg, 28/07/2025 21:45, Travelled in a Couple

Looking forward to doing again!!

Our most favourite holiday! Perfect balance of chilling on deck & stunning daily swim Stops, fun excursions, evenings spent exploring, wine ing, dining & dancing! Great crew who were all friendly, helpful, caring & fun! Super Mario our guide nailed everything! Vlaho & Marko were awesome too… regularly pouring the best Margarita's! 🫶

Wonderful trip!!

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.

- larysa, 23/07/2025 08:07, Travelled in a Couple

The most magical trip!

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

Great Adventure

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.

- Katie, 22/07/2025 16:00, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing - would go again in a heartbeat

The captain, ship, food, crew and Vicko were amazing we loved the Queen Jelena 🤩

- Jules, 22/07/2025 10:19, Travelled in a Couple

Love it, Love it, Love it ❤️

The country, the boat, the staff, the people we meet, the food, the site seeing, the activities and the locals. What a magnificent wonder of the world and the best way to see it all was with sail Croatia!

- Sam, 22/07/2025 09:54, Travelled in a Couple

Loved This Cruise

Our week on board, the tempura ship was amazing. The crew went above and beyond to make our week enjoyable and comfortable. They were always available to help with any questions or advice that was needed. We would definitely book another Sail Croatia cruise again.

- Venessa, 22/07/2025 03:32, Travelled in a Couple

Daily swim stops were perfection

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

The Perfect Cruise

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

The perfect package!

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

Amazing crew and places visited

We were very well looked after by the crew and Lola our tour guide was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. The boat was very well maintained and clean.

Best holiday ever

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.

- Lyndel, 15/07/2025 09:04, Travelled in a Couple

Cruising with Friends

Great company Awesome crew Wonderful food Perfect locations and flexibility Ease of locating the vessel with live maps. Simple check in and boarding process Proactive host ( Lola) was always available and super helpful. Swim stops most days in perfect locations. Organised excursions if you wanted or just good old reading and relaxing on the top deck. Simple tab system onboard with one payment on checkout to settle. Thank you all for a trip to remember Des & Claire

Fabulous Adventure

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!

- Leanne, 14/07/2025 16:08, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic experience

This was my first time to Croatia, and I am so glad that we used Sail Croatia. It was a great way to see some of the islands, and the explorer cruise was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxing. The crew were so lovely and helpful, and our tour manager Dino was responsive and offered great advice. I would recommend this cruise!

- Gill, 14/07/2025 09:52, Travelled in a Couple

An awesome week!

My partner and I spent 8 days cruising around Croatia on the Tempera boat, the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive (and excellent chefs) and our trip manager Cal really made sure we had the best possible holiday. If you’re unsure whether to do a sail Croatia or not - let this be your sign to DO IT!

- Erica, 10/07/2025 14:58, Travelled in a Couple

Memorable Week!

We loved so much about the week and are so thankful that we were able to participate on the Explorer Cruise. The ship, Almissa, crew, and tour manager, Dino, made sure that the passengers could experience the beauty of Croatia. The swim stops in the morning were some of our favorite moments of the day - peaceful, turquoise glimmering water! Having the option to do or not do excursions or to take recommendations make the trip customizable for each couple, family or group on board. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to have an experience like this!

- Elizabeth , 09/07/2025 14:28, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent trip and crew

Exceeded my expectations in every way!

I enjoyed my trip with Sail Croatia so very much!!! Everything exceeded my expectations - the ship, the staff/crew, the food, the cabins, the itinerary... We were sad to leave, a week was not enough! We traveled as a couple, and another couple (friends) also joined us. Despite that, we met lots of lovely people and made so many fun memories with others on our ship🥰. Lola was our tour manager and she was very helpful, and most of all really looked our for our best interests. It was a perfect blend of adventure, swimming & relaxation. We were very impressed with the staff who went over & above to make sure we had the best possible holiday. The food was excellent too, I was not expecting quality so high 👌. Cycling in Croatia was such a joy that we are already looking at a cycling holiday next. Bravo to everyone 👏👏👏 🫶 💖 🙌

The best experience!

I was nervous coming onto the boat not knowing what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. From the crew and Dino being so helpful and fun to the other passengers just making our week complete! We had the best time. Thank you again!

- Ashlee, 30/06/2025 13:54, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful trip

We are so pleased we chose Sail-Croatia and the Almissa. Captain Joseph is an excellent seaman, and his sailors are first-rate. Our guide, Klara, was hilarious and made sure there were no problems, only solutions. The ship staff made sure we never went hungry or thirsty. We especially loved the daily swims in secluded spots, We will be back!

- Mary, 28/06/2025 16:19, Travelled in a Couple

What a perfect trip!

Wow wow wow! From the moment we were welcomed on board we were made to feel special by Vikco and the crew. Great cabins that had everything we needed; the breakfasts and lunches were fabulous! So many well-chosen beautiful islands we visited with opportunities to do some of the activities offered. On the relaxing days it was lovely to sit and relax on the most beautiful ship and go out later when we docked and enjoyed some lovely dinners at restaurants that had been recommended to us. We will have these beautiful memories forever and met some wonderful people it was one of the best trips we have been on. Everyone got on so well It was such fun and for us we travelled with our special friends who live in the UK and we are in Aus so a great catch up for us. Thank you and we hope to sail with you again!

Amazing experience

I traveled with my husband on Salve de Mari from Dubrovnik to split ,this journey was one of the most amazing trips we’ve ever had enjoying the beautiful country of Croatia while traveling with sail Croatia onboard a magnificent vessel with truly amazing people. The Crew on board was helpful and friendly and our representative vicko walk us through the history and the daily activities and was enjoying the trip like one of us.On this cruise we met great people who became hopefully lifelong friends. I would love to come back and do this trip with my kids and I would definitely recommend sail Croatia to anybody who wants to see Croatia while being on an amazing and a wonderful cruise with great people.

We had an amazing week on the Salve Di Mare sailing from Dubrovanic to Split. Vicko did a great job letting us know the history of each island and all of the different excursions / restaurants on each island! Marko & Vlaho took very good care of us in the dining room and the bar - amazing bartenders. The food was incredible - thanks to our chefs Arijan & Tina. The captain - Trane, the sailors - Mario & Josip did an excellent job! Our rooms were immaculate thanks to Monika! We would recommend Sail Croatia - it was a trip of a lifetime!

Really easy going and laid back. Small enough to feel comfortable with everyone as not too many guests. Good food, service and organisation and really excellent communication from Dino as to what was going on. Really felt like he was acting in our best interests at all times. All very nice staff who were always available to help with anything. Max was excellent and very attentive and helpful. A couple of the excursions were over-priced and I wouldn’t recommend but overall an excellent experience.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

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 -

Recommend

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.

- Vee, 16/06/2025 06:23, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing way to holiday in Croatia!

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

- Julie , 12/06/2025 09:26, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful trip

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

Not worth the $6,000 aud. Croatia is incredible book your own trip to a few islands to embrace the beauty of Croatia without being ripped off

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.

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.

Great experience on the Tempera - Explorer Cruise!

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.

Great Croatian experience

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

Einmaliges Erlebnis

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!!!

Tempera - Explorer

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.🇭🇷❣️

Highly recommended

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)

- Laura, 06/06/2025 05:50, Travelled in a Couple

Awesome Experience!

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).

Can it get any better!!

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.

An unforgettable vacation

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

Great week

My husband and I had a great vacation on the Tempura boat. Dino our guide for the week provided feedback on the best places to eat and see. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to anyone.

- Angela, 29/05/2025 14:45, Travelled in a Couple

Tempera

Dino our tour guide was awesome, very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on what to do/where to eat. The crew were also very kind and helpful.

- Sarah, 29/05/2025 14:42, Travelled in a Couple

A magical, convenient and fun way to see Croatia

This was a fuss free and beautiful way to experience Croatia. Waking up each morning in a different location with stunning views, swimming spots, experiences and exploration all while making new friends. Vicko and the Alissa crew were amazing and always had guest experience front of mind.

- Rachael , 28/05/2025 08:18, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia Tempera

A big shout out to Captain Franco for his sailing expertise. All the staff and crew were great especially Max who looked after the dining and bar area. The chefs were extraordinary and all the meals were terrific and my weigh scale at home tells me so! If I had one complaint…..maybe some replacement of the duvets and bed pillows.

- Renee R., 27/05/2025 17:41, Travelled in a Couple

Great Time!

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

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.

Cruising In Croatia Was Wonderful

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.

- Mary Smith, 19/05/2025 05:57, Travelled in a Couple

Trip of a lifetime

We appreciated the way the entire trip was organized. The days flowed smoothly. Great communication. The boat was immaculately clean. Enjoyed the variety of activities. Staff was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.

- Carrie, 19/05/2025 05:25, Travelled in a Couple

Smooth sailing

Our friendly crew and guide (Klara) were friendly, fun, and very helpful the entire trip. Our chef spoiled us with fantastic meals. The ship was spotlessly clean the whole time. We loved the swim stops! We enjoyed each island.

Overall good experience

The 10 day cruise was good . Cons: I did find it quite repetitive. For me personally, I have learned a 3-5 day (maximum) sail would suit me it was the same pattern every day & I found some days we got into port too late to explore more. It seemed the emphasis was on the swim stops., another Con was the food . Breakfast was fine . There were no options for lunch . It was a 3 course meal served at 1 pm which made for very late suppers on shore . I wish they would have had 2 options ie chicken or pasta . I don’t eat pasta so was starving 2 of the days . Pros: the staff are fantastic . Considering they work 7 days a week & then repeat with the next tour they were very helpful , upbeat & enjoyable . The tour coordinator Klara was terrific , positive , informed & very helpful . The boat was in excellent condition and clean . I felt very safe on it . The life jackets & muster areas were reviewed however I was never sure if there was an AED on board , which would be Important .

An Unforgettable Experience with Sail Croatia – and a Special Shoutout to Klara!

Our trip with Sail Croatia was nothing short of spectacular. From breathtaking scenery to unforgettable swims in crystal-clear waters, the entire journey was filled with adventure, good vibes, and new friendships. A huge part of what made our experience so incredible was Klara, who led our island tours and adventures with infectious energy. Charismatic, charming, and full of local knowledge, Klara brought each destination to life. Her passion for the islands and her ability to engage and energize the group was unmatched – we felt lucky to have her guiding us. That said, a note to future travellers: know what kind of trip you're booking. This style of sailing trip brings together people from all walks of life, and it's important to understand that you're joining a shared space on board. Some passengers seemed surprised by the format, but that's not on the crew – it's about reading the itinerary and knowing what kind of experience you're signing up for.
