Fabulous Salve Di Mare

Our time aboard Salve Di Mare far exceeded all we hoped for. Meeting lovely folk & enjoying their company whilst sailing the Croatian Islands. Every day a new destination with recommendations for activities & places to eat. Swim stops every day were great fun & being able to use the kayaks & SUPs a bonus! Our rep Vicko was the best! Professional, friendly, humorous, knowledgeable & attentive to all questions. All the staff/crew were excellent. They all worked tirelessly with a smile for everyone! The food was excellent ~ no complaints what so ever. We would like to thank you all & would not hesitate to recommend this cruise!

Amazing

Not enough stars for the crew on the Almissa yoga cruise. The welcoming from the first day til the sad last day! Dora- our breath of fresh air. Goes above and beyond. Whatever you needed she was there. Chefs- I have never ate so well on a holiday. Still want the recipes! Deckhands- so funny and handle the boat and tinder expertly. Cezar and Kafka - Bartenders/Maid /servers- we kept you guys very busy and you were top notch! Captain Josef- great honor to sail with him. He is a master of his craft. Would highly recommend sailing with this crew and boat! Going to miss all the fun with yoga, swimming holes, hikes and wine tasting/dinner. Thank you for a truly wonderful and unforgettable holiday!

Simply the best!

Everything about this trip was fantastic. From the smiling crew (Hana, Nenad, Tino, Charlie & Joy) to the other guests, everyone was so enjoyable and friendly. Hana's recommendations were always helpful and interesting. We learned a lot and had a relaxing and active trip. Daily swim stop was a highlight!

Great experience

Great experience! Ship was nice and recently remodeled. Being on the ship felt like being at home with the hospitable crew (tour guide Marin, waitors Ivana & Neno, cleaner Joy, sailors Charlie and Tino, Kristijana boat manager, Captain Slavko& chefs Bane and Marko) The size of the group was perfect and felt intimate. Swimming off the dock into the ocean was a highlight. The meals were luxurious. Tour guide had a wealth of knowledge.

Tempe

Overall wonderful way to see Coastal Croatia and would definitely recommend. Mario was our tour guide and he was amazing, really helpful and kind. The crew were great. The boat itself was outdated but nothing that affected our holiday. Food was good overall. Great itinerary and overall we had a lot of fun. Couple days towards the end felt a little rushed. Even earlier breakfast and very short swim stop to get to islands which there was nothing to do on. Would have appreciated better and longer swim stops on those. Customer service was great helping answer questions and booking. Overall definitely recommend the cruise.

Great trip

We had a great family trip on our Explorer cruise. It was a good amount of scheduled activities and also free time to relax. The Croatian islands are beautiful and fun to explore. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for sure!

60th Birthday Celebrations

Sail Croatia was a trip of a lifetime in many respects thanks to our fabulous crew who went above and beyond to make us feel special!

An Unforgettable Family Trip Aboard the Contessa!

Our family of eight had an absolutely incredible experience aboard the Contessa. The beautiful Croatian destinations, swimming stops and excursions were unforgettable, but it was the amazing crew who truly made our trip so special. Marin, our tour guide, was outstanding- knowledgeable, organized, fun and always willing to help. Captain Slavko, boat manager Kristijana, sailors Charlie and Tino, along with Ivana, Neno, Joy and the wonderful chefs, went above and beyond for our entire family. Their kindness, attention to detail and excellent service made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the cruise. The meals were delicious, the boat was beautiful and every part of the trip was thoughtfully planned. We made priceless family memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you to Sail Croatia and the entire Contessa crew for giving our family the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend this cruise!

Amazing vacation

Perfect holiday! Marin our cruise manager was absolutely amazing. So many fun well organized activities. Chefs and bartenders were also fantastic. Food was always delicious. Just the best vacation ever! I would go back tomorrow!!

Pomalo — Trust the Crew & Enjoy the Ride

I knew this trip would be once-in-a-lifetime, but the Contessa crew exceeded every expectation! My family had so much to celebrate—my parents renewed their vows, I got engaged, and I celebrated 20 years cancer-free. As someone who normally travels with a detailed itinerary and spreadsheet, this was the first time I truly let go and went pomalo—and I’m so glad I did. In just 7 days, strangers from Canada, Australia, Norway, and the USA became friends. That says everything about the incredible atmosphere this crew created. A huge thank you to Marin for his hospitality, local knowledge, humor, and always keeping us safe and taken care of. Neno & Ivana made the boat drinks unforgettable! Joy kept my room spotless and cozy, while Bane & Marko served food worthy of a five-star restaurant. And thank you to Tino, Charlie, Captain Slavko & Kristijana for everything you did behind the scenes. I’m already looking through photos with serious holiday blues. Thank you, Contessa crew!

Relaxing And Adventurous

Fabulous holiday that provided you lots of adventure without you having to plan anything. Amazing crew and top notch food daily. By the end of the week you’ll have met many new acquaintances. Lots of daily fun facts about each island you visit. My favourite was the daily water stops where you were able to get off boat and swim in the crystal clear sea. What better way to explore beautiful Croatia than Sail Almissa!

- Marylyn, 24/08/2026 11:06, Travelled with Family

Wow what a trip!

It was over and above all our expectations . . . a truly unique experience where we met a lot of lovely people from all over the world. The staff were amazing too. Vicko was so informative delivering just the right amount of information about all our stops and with great humour. The staff anticipated what we needed at any particular time. Food provided was of an exemplary standard. Swim stops and excursion destinations were all fabulous even though we had been in Croatia several times before the country and its islands keep on giving us new delights. It is a true gem of a place. We couldn't have wished for more.

- Magdalene, 24/08/2026 08:11, Travelled with Family

Amazing Experience

Our holiday was truly amazing. We decided to travel on the Salve di Mare boat. It was absolutely beautiful. The boat and cabins were extremely clean and well kept. The crew was amazing. Our captain and crew were top notch! They were extremely helpful and made sure all of our needs were met at all times. We were treated extremely well. The holiday is certainly one we will remember forever and we will for sure travel with the Salve di mare again. Aldo, our Sail Croatia tour director, Hana, was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She made sure we had everything we needed to experience Croatia and she went above and beyond!

Service + Sea = Laughter, Fun & Desire to Stow Away

Unique experience was heightened by the crew: their smiles, going above & beyond without request, delicious food (accommodating allergies & preferences too). Favorite memories: Sailor Tino serving as cocktail server delivering to our "floating bar" we created utilizing the paddle boards during swim stops. Bartender Naeno remembering my drinks from day 1 - am manually making my fresh iced tea from brewed & pm chardonnay w/3 ice cubes. Great conversation & genuinely cared to get to know people. Bartender Joanna sweet & accommodating even when I was being "extra". Attendant Joy for keeping our cabin clean-constantly replacing bathmat & folding clothes, etc. Our space cozy and spotless too. Director Vin was funny even when he wasn't trying to be. Tip to future guests: Do not start a drinking game where you drink anytime he says the word "ALSO". If ya know, ya know. Don't forget Sailor Charlie - ALWAYS cleaning the yacht. Have a chat with him about where he's lived too.

Amazing Experience

I had a wonderful time on this trip! The crew was great and the food was delicious. Every spot we went to was beautiful. It would have been nice to explore the towns in the morning and then do a swim stop after lunch when it was extremely hot. I also wish there was more excursions like jet skis or fishing. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

John and Deb

We enjoyed our trip tremendously. We have never been on a cruise. This is the best way to give a cruise a try. It’s a smaller cruise boat with only a handful of people and crew. Great bar with attentive staff. No disco and thousands of people swarmed by a pool. The food was very good. It was the perfect balance of action, adventure, sightseeing and relaxation. The private swim coves were one of our favorite parts of the day. Our coordinator Klara was amazing. I know it’s her job to be friendly but I truly felt like she really enjoyed our group and wanted to hang out with us. I definitely recommend Sail Croatia. We may even try their Greek Island tour…only if Klara is the coordinator.

Perfect family holiday

We were blown away by the end to end experience w/ Sail Croatia— thoughtful stops, daily swimming, excursions + dining reservations made in advance on your behalf. We are busy working parents juggling robust school + sports schedules. Once we got onboard we left all the logistics, planning, navigating to Sail Croatia and were able to miss many of the crowds commonly found across Croatia in August. Our tour manager Hana is an ace at her job and brought in enough history / cultural overview to keep the teenagers interested. Food was beyond expectation and accommodating of allergies + preferences. Cabins were clean and well appointed. We will be re booking this holiday! 5 stars.

- Meredith, 19/08/2026 08:03, Travelled with Family

Fabulous time with family and new friends!

We had a blast on the Esperanza. Klara was a terrific host and guide - informative and fun! The crew was top notch. The Sail Croatia experience was perfect for visiting so many islands, all were beautiful and unique in their own way. Highly recommend !

- Stacy, 18/08/2026 15:36, Travelled with Family

You won’t regret this!

Our group of 7 traveled with Klara on the Esperanza., Dubrovnik to Split. Wr had a wonderful time exploring Croatia! It was the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. The food was great, the staff was always friendly and accommodating and Klara was so much fun. If you’re wondering whether to book this trip: DO IT!

- Amy, 18/08/2026 15:20, Travelled with Family

Wonderful Cruise

We had a great family trip on the Almissa. Hana was our guide and she was amazing. We were worried about bringing our teens with us but they LOVED it! Hana & the whole crew made sure everyone was having a good time, made reservations easy, and bent over backwards!

- Kathryn Tessmer, 17/08/2026 14:51, Travelled with Family

Incredible trip!

Croatia is so beautiful, blue waters everywhere. The captain and the crew nembers were friendly and courteous! Especially, HANA made everything so pleasant, so friendly, and was on top of any issues and resolved right away. Hana worked to make sure every guest was happy, satisfied and having a good time. I already mentioned about this cruise to people around me to consider taking this cruise. Thanks to all for letting us have an unforgettable trip!

Croatia sailing

Sailed on the Contessa. The cabin was wonderful with lots of storage. Suggest having a top sheet on beds and a shower mat as floor is slippery. Loved all of the ports and time to swim in the Adriatic! Wonderful crew. Requested an itemized bill at the end but said they don't have a printer. The food was amazing! Fresh fruit everyday, pastries, eggs etc. Lunch was bountiful! The presentation of meals was 5 star! Loved the view from the top deck and all around the ship. A small thing, but maybe a sign upon arrival posting Welcome to ...(port). The crew works very hard and the ship is immaculate. I'd highly recommend. A fantastic experience. Can't wait to recommend to my clients. Darlene

Excellent sail trip in Croatia

10/10 for Sail Croatia. This trip exceeded my families expectations. The tour manager (Hana) and crew were excellent - informative, fun and lots of attention to detail. Daily swim stops were idyllic, each island had something to offer and the ship had great amenities. Rooms were spacious, very clean and great AC. Common areas were very well kept and food was great with change up’s every day. We relaxed, had fun and truly enjoyed Croatia. Would travel with Sail Croatia again and highly recommend to others!

Amazing Almissa

An amazing week! The scenery, swim stops and island visits were beautiful as was to be expected. But it was the crew that truly made this trip! Hana and the bartenders were so friendly and so much fun. The food was great also! The crew couldn’t do enough to make our trip a happy one. Highly recommend!

Amazing week sailing Croatia aboard Almissa!

We had an absolutely amazing week sailing aboard Almissa! The country is stunning, with breathtaking coastline, crystal-clear water, and beautiful towns to explore. A special thank you to the incredible crew of Almissa for being so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The food on board was exceptional—far beyond our expectations and honestly one of the highlights of the trip. A big shout-out as well to our tour manager, Josip, who was fantastic. He was fun, approachable, incredibly well organized, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a great time and knew about all the available activities and options. This was a truly memorable experience, and I would absolutely sail Croatia again—perhaps on a different route next time. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable week!

Our week on Almissa exceeded all expectations. The boat was so clean and the crew was great. The rooms had plenty of storage and the bathroom size was much larger than we expected! The meals were so tasty and as a picky eater, I truly enjoyed each one. The swim stops were definitely a highlight each day and it was a great mix of exploring local towns and relaxing in the sun. Highly recommend Almissa!

A Dream Come True…

My family lived every minute aboard Salve di Mare. Barbara and the entire crew went out of their way to ensure our vacation was the best ever. The food, the cleanliness, the friendly atmosphere made for a dream come true.

Birthday Celebration with Family

We had a great week aboard Princeza Diana. The crew were attentive and our host Ana very knowledgeable. Some great excursion options. A small group of 15 which actually made the week as we all got to know each other so well and all clicked. Highly recommend. I would say though when asked if you have dietary restrictions, if you don’t like fish or tomatoes worth saying as they are very much apart of the meals. Overall meals were good.

Take the Plunge!

If you are considering a Sail Croatia trip, take the plunge and go! We absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. (We departed Dubrovnik on July 4 and ended in Split - Explorer.) The itinerary was the perfect combination of beautiful destinations, swimming, adventure, culture, food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the incredible Adriatic coastline. What really made the trip special, though, was the experience of traveling with a small group and the dedicated crew. Of our 31 travelers, 11 were international (Scottish, British, Spanish, Australian, South African), with the rest from the US - and all were awesome humans! With Josip as our guide, and the Salve Di Mare crew caring for us all week, we enjoyed every minute with all our new friends. And the ship is perfection! The trip was well organized, while still feeling relaxed and adventurous. We came home with memories we'll never forget and friends we hope to see again. Five stars without hesitation!

- Mary, 25/07/2026 23:44, Travelled with Family

Unforgettable experience of a lifetime

Our week on the Almissa was amazing. Great food, staff, rooms, common spaces and other guests. The itinerary was excellent including a variety of activities and swim spots. A truly unique and special way to experience Croatia and we have no hesitation recommending the Almissa. The Sail Croatia communication was good in the lead up to the tour. A few things to note as feedback. Make the end of tour survey anonymous to get honest and useful feedback, carrying cash is a pain now for tourists - the fact everything on the boat and the extra tours and tips are to be paid in cash is inconvenient. Towels on the ship could be replaced - they are getting a bit old. Provide tea and coffee after lunch for free. This would be a small inexpensive thing to include - many international guests like their coffee and tea in the afternoon. 3 Euros for a cup of tea is way over the top. Finally the tipping recommendation appears out of step with what the cruise cost is. Small suggestions.

One of the Best Family Vacations We've Ever Taken!

Our Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best trips of my life! My husband, our adult kids, and I all agreed it was an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful, our cabin was spacious, and it was meticulously cleaned every day. The food was outstanding, and the entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help. A special thank you to our tour manager, Dino. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations at every stop, helping us make the most of each destination. Although our itinerary changed slightly due to weather and docking conditions, it worked out perfectly. We visited Jelsa, which ended up being our favorite stop of the trip! The swim stops were absolutely spectacular, with crystal clear water and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering Sail Croatia, don't hesitate. It was an incredible experience, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

- Lara Smith, 15/07/2026 22:29, Travelled with Family

Unbelievable vacation!

We traveled with two families with older teens, nine total. We had the most incredible vacation. The locations were stunning, the crew and fellow passengers were fun and engaging, and the food was imaginative and delicious (but not too crazy for our picky eaters). The Salve di Mare was a beautiful boat and the rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean. Could not have asked for a better holiday!

- lisa, 14/07/2026 16:45, Travelled with Family

Wonderful in every way

A fantastic voyage from start to finish! The ship was high quality, very clean and comfortable. The food was much better than expected and featured a good variety of dishes.

Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. We were on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise with our young adult daughters and this trip will always be remembered. From our cruise manager Josip, to the attentive staff & crew & captain- everyone was a 10/10. We met like minded travelers from across the world & enjoyed each day at sea and land with awesome excursions. We are so grateful for the memories. Thank you all!

Sun, Salt and Scenery

You never know what to expect with 35 strangers but this mini 7 night cruise exceeded all expectations. We were warmly greeted and had ample time to mingle or do our our things. We were provided with numerous options for eating out and placed to visit at each stop. The on board food (breakfast and lunch) were plentiful and the swim stops along the way were so dreamy and refreshing during our hot week on board. The rooms were well spaced with ample storage for our 2 large and 2 small cases and the A/C kicked in well at night. Our main host Andro was exceptional and his command of the English language made everything seamless, closely followed by the diligent boat crew . We had so much fun, lots of drinks and laughs with guests and plenty of time to really unpack and unwind. I felt safe, my belongings were secure and we strongly recommend the Tempera to those looking for adventure, unique beauty but ample time to chill out.. There are a few deserving tips and taxes to factor in though.

- Sammy C, 07/07/2026 02:22, Travelled with Family

Relaxing with the right amount of activity

Croatia is beautiful, I loved all the islands, Stari Grad and Mljet National Park were highlights. Tempera is due for a refurb next year, it's fine, but it does need some attention. The crew were great. As a pescatarian I was catered for, but hot breakfast items were all in the same serving dish - eggs tasted of sausages - I can cope with that, but many wouldn't. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable.

Mali Anti

I was somewhat disappointed and felt the overall experience to be a little lacking. While the air conditioning failed in some cabins and the crew did what they could to fix it was understandable, one guest complained and the Captain felt it necessary to berate all guests on board at dining. The excursions were less than what was advertised. The swim time was extremely long and cut into time that could have been spent on shore. We scheduled a pick up through our ship from our hotel to the ship for departure and then were not allowed on the ship for 2 hours in an area with no shelter, shopping or bathrooms. The coordinator of excursions missed the mark on helping acquire e-bikes along with knowledge of restaurants and distances to attractions. There were not enough deck chairs for the number of guests. The jacuzzi was filled only twice. Coffee was only available during breakfast hour or had to pay for it. Overall, the experience was not what we had hoped for or planned.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that other aspects of the trip did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your comments. Feedback such as yours is valuable and helps us continue to review and improve the guest experience.

Perfect

The ship…beautiful. The food….superb. The stops…unforgettable. The crew…perfection! We probably won’t be able to duplicate this trip in our lifetime. It’s like the stars came together for us and we were able to create a family memory that we will tell our grandchildren. We now identify as Croatian. 😉

Sel De Mar

Lovely boat and crew. Chef amazing. However did not enjoy being constantly exposed to cigarette smoke on only lower deck, especially when deck was enclosed.

- Dawn, 19/06/2026 00:49, Travelled with Family

Almost perfection

This was a fabulous holiday! There are just three reasons I couldn't give it a perfect 5. 1. "Water toys"-having only 4 "floaties" when you have 36 people on board is not enough. On vacation, no one wants to jump is the sea and tread water for the duration of the swim stop. 2. The new Contessa is lovely. However, on the top deck there was not nearly enough loungers or chairs. People were having to share or go below deck. There was plenty of space for more. 3. It is a bummer that you advertise excursions to Explorer travelers but they actually do not happen or are not reccomended. We were excited on day 1 to go river rafting but once on board heard that that actually wasn't an excursion. Same with canoeing-said you "could" go, but that it was a very bad experience. Better tour operators or excursions need to be sourced. Lola was super and responsive. Martin and Neno amazing employees! Chef Bane and Marko fab. Charlie and Tino fun on deck, and maids were wonderful.

Friendly Crew, But the Ship Needs Improvement

The Croatian itinerary was fantastic, and the crew were friendly and hardworking throughout the trip. Unfortunately, the condition of the Mali Ante did not meet our expectations. The ship felt older and less well-maintained than many others we saw in port. The jacuzzi was out of service for most of the trip, our shower leaked, & our lower-deck cabin was extremely noisy whenever the engines started. The cabin was also very damp, leaving clothing and towels moist and causing some clothes to develop a musty odor. We also found what appeared to be mold or mildew staining on our bedding. Breakfast was limited to one hour each morning, no snacks were provided between meals, and guests could not bring their own snacks or drinks onboard. Drinks were expensive, and the bar tab had to be paid in cash. Considering the ship’s condition and limited amenities, the suggested gratuities felt excessive. While Croatia was beautiful, the overall experience did not provide the value we expected.

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and found the crew aboard your ship to be friendly and hardworking. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to them. Mali Ante is a highly rated ship within our fleet, so we are sorry to hear that certain aspects of your onboard experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We offer a variety of vessels within our Explorer Cruise range to cater to different travel styles and budgets, allowing guests to select the ship that best suits their preferences. We have a thorough process in place for communicating and resolving issues during the cruise. Having reviewed our internal records, I can see that the concerns outlined in your review were not raised with the onboard representative during your trip. Had we been made aware of these issues at the time, our team would have done their best to investigate and address them while you were onboard to ensure you were satisfied with the outcome. As outlined in our pre-departure documentation and guest App, tipping is entirely optional. The crew onboard our ships are paid fairly for their work; however, gratuities are a widely recognised way for guests to acknowledge exceptional service. Many guests choose to leave a tip as a gesture of appreciation, however this is always at each individual's discretion. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

100% recommend, best week ever!

Our week on the Sail Croatia Explorer aboard Almissa far exceeded our expectations. Lauren and the crew were amazing, and everything ran so smoothly. The swim stops were beautiful, and the food was always delicious. A special thank you to Bobby and Marko for catering so well to gluten-free dietary requirements - we never felt like we were missing out. A huge shoutout to Ceaser and Kafka for the fun nights, great music, and always bringing the good vibes. The week truly had something for everyone, whether you wanted a social night out or an early night in (or both, like us!). What really made the trip special was the group of guests. There was such a fun mix of people and ages (we're in our mid-20s), and by the end of the week, it felt like one big happy family. We’ve left Almissa with incredible memories and couldn't recommend this experience highly enough.

So Much Fun!!

We scheduled our Sail Croatia trip hoping for a Family Adventure and it was SO MUCH MORE than we had even hoped! Croatia was beautiful! Waking up every morning on the Almissa to a new swim spot was epic and the excursions were fantastic! But Without a doubt, the best part was the people…the crew and the 32 new friends that we will never forget! Lauren, our host, was fantastic! She made every excursion seamless, and her brief history of each destination befire our arrival was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Thank you to Kavka and Ceasar for keeping our drinks full and keeping us laughing! ! To Marko and Bobby for the fabulous food and sensitivity to a dairy allergy. To Geo and Chapo for making sure we were safely docked, and ready for our daily swims. And to Captain Joseph for manning the helm safely! And to all of our new friends who started out as shipmates and ended as friends! What an adventure to remember!

Excellent cruise

Fabulous family trip with brilliant crew and fantastic cruise director. The 7 days we spent with Sail Croatia on an Explorer cruise on the beautiful Contessa is an experience I will long remember. Anita, our cruise director kept us updated every day and was super helpful with any request we had. Thank you Anita- your knowledge of our destinations, recommendations and patience was outstanding. Bar staff, Nino and Martin were good fun and always keen to help. Thanks for the card game lesson! The rest of the crew were also helpful and responsive to any requests- food was consistently very good and catered for our meal preferences. Great tour options at each location. Looking forward to an opportunity to travel with Sail Croatia again. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Salve di Mare is a beautiful boat. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The lunches were delicious. Our guide Nikos was wonderful. He had recommendations for bars and restaurants and was helpful with the excursions. We had a small group and enjoyed all the guest on the boat. I cannot think of a better way to see the coast of Croatia. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve di Mare.

The Best Trip

I could not have asked for better. The staff was so friendly, and the service was outstanding. Anita, our cruise manager, was fantastic and so organized. I have already told my friends and family at home that they have to book a trip with Sail Croatia!

Fabulous cruise

The whole week was wonderful and I am definitely going to recommend it to friends. It was a very relaxing combination of swim stops and activities. The rooms were a good size, the food was excellent and the crew lovely. It was a very enjoyable week and very sad to have to disembark. Only suggestion I have is please take card payments, especially for paying the bar bill. I think people would make more use of the bar if they weren't trying to make thei

Simply the Best ! Salve Di Mare - you beautiful boat!

OMG… this trip was AMAZING! I found Sail Croatia on Google, from my very first enquiry right through to the very last day stepping off the boat, the communication & service were exceptional. My sister & I travelled from Split to Dubrovnik Day 1 unfortunately greeted us with rain, however the crew lifted everyone’s spirits with a welcome drink onboard, cosy blankets & warm hospitality all around. The crew were absolutely incredible, honestly cannot fault any one of them. They all worked so well together as a team. Nikos, the best! He kept us updated daily through both the group chat & verbal briefings, always making sure everyone knew the plans, timings & options available. knowledge of Croatian history & he delivered everything with humour & personality. Captain Frane constantly amazed watching him manoeuvre the boat into each port with such skill. Marco & Vlaho were both hilarious, friendly & absolute joy to see every single day. Julija looked after us/cabins exceptionally. Food Yum!

Una experiencia inolvidable ✨

Este crucero fue literalmente la mezcla perfecta entre paisajes soñados, mar increíble, pueblos hermosos y momentos demasiado especiales ✨ Cada parada parecía sacada de una película. La tripulación, la comida y el ambiente hicieron todo aún más memorable. Y definitivamente, Marin y Kafka hicieron que la experiencia se sintiera todavía más especial y amigable 🫶🏼 De esos viajes que uno repetiría mil veces 💙🇭🇷

Amazing experience

My wife and I travelled on the Tempera from Dubrovnik to Split. It was an amazing experience and such a beautiful country. The Sail Croatia staff was attentive, caring and friendly. We would absolutely travel with them again! Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime.

Fantastic Experience!!

We had the best time on our Sail Croatia cruise, which exceeded our expectations in every way!! From the time we got onboard, we were completely taken care of by our guide, Dino, our servers/bartenders, Cesar & Meriko, and all the crew. Dino did a fantastic job at making sure we knew what to expect each day & even joining us on some of our excursions. Was also wondeful to get to know all of our fellow passengers. Will definitely recommend this experience to family & friends!!

- Barbara, 04/05/2026 17:41, Travelled with Family

Beautiful cruise in a magical place, itinerary changes handled with grace

Dino, our tour manager was lovely and very responsive to our questions and requests. He often responded within a minute and was already taking action on our request. He was very knowledgeable about each location and gave us a daily briefing. The ship was beautiful and the staff friendly. Due to rough seas the itinerary had to be changed and we did not visit Vis, but instead went to Omiš, which was a lovely town with stunning landscapes and some exciting excursion options! They handled the itinerary changes gracefully and seamlessly. I've deducted one star as there were a few quirks along the way that could have made the stay more pleasant: The ship has AC, but only when the AC is turned on as a whole, so for the first couple nights and the last night our room was a nearly unbearable 77-80°F at night, there were a couple days where housekeeping came into the room, but the room was only partially done, like 1 out of 3 beds done. All in all it was an enjoyable experience though!

- Lori, 14/10/2025 13:03, Travelled with Family

Love the small ship experience!

Traveling with Sail Croatia was an experience that was more than " just a cruise" where you are one of hundreds or thousands on a massive ship. It wasn't perfect, but I look back on the friendships we made, the cozy feel of the ship and I'm left with special memories of our time on the Adriatic. When we arrived in Split and were faced with two massive cruise ships at port, I was so thankful for the choice we made. Dino, our cruise director, was a very relatable, friendly guy who responded quickly with our questions. The crew were all very nice! I rated it 4/5 mainly because of a few issues such as ventilation in the cabin that made it uncomfortable for a few days. Otherwise, it would be 5/5!

Explorer Cruise. The blending of generations seamlessly

Sail Croatia helped make the travel process seamless from start to finish. The communication before during and after made the decision to book simple, what to do during the cruise easy and decision to rebook in the future a definite. The staff was visible hardworking and always available to assist in any way need from pouring a drink, crossing a gap or information about local culture or traditions. The cruise director Dino was the best. He not only informative and professional but also fun and engaging. He arranged activities,,helped with bookings,, transport and was there for us to resolve an unexpected inconvenience with a flat tire on a bike excursion . Whike the weather was not perfect for our cruise. Dino and the Captain worked together to avoid the difficult uncontrollable weather and locate ports with better weather and new fun activities seamlessly. This was an unforgettable experience for my daughter and I. Thank you Sail Croatia

Fantastic Yacht Cruise

Great size yacht with 38 passengers! We thoroughly enjoyed the swim stops followed by exploring the various ports.

Best cruise we've ever been on!

We cruised on the Salve di Mare and had a great experience from start to finish! Monica in Sales was my first point of contact and she was friendly, professional and always quick to respond. A pleasure to work with! The cruise itself far exceeded our expectations, primarily because of our Tour Manager, Vicko. He was outstanding!! Not only did he keep us informed about each day's itinerary and the optional excursions, he provided rich historical context and interesting trivia as well. He is a walking textbook on Croatia - but not in a stuffy professor-like way. Everyone on board absolutely loved him! Our bartenders, Marco and Vlaho, were also very service-oriented and friendly. They did an excellent job. As for the food, it was delicious! The chefs make everything on board so each dish was fresh and tasty. Passenger-wise, there were only 40 of us so we were able to get to know one another rather quickly. I suspect that many new (life long?) friendships were formed. Thanks, Sail Croatia!

- Melissa, 16/09/2025 19:21, Travelled with Family

Fantastic cruise experience!

Our experience with Sail Croatia was phenomenal! It was one of the best trips we've ever taken - offering a nice balance of relaxation on the boat and activities on the islands. It was great to have flexibility to explore on our own (using recommendations provided if we wish) or opt in to the excursions. We enjoyed that we docked in port every night so we could stay out and enjoy the island as long as we wanted. All of the staff were so welcoming, kind, and provided top notch hospitality! We also really enjoyed meeting our fellow shipmates and actually formed some deep friendships with others on the boat, which was unexpected but made the experience that much more special. We highly recommend this cruise!

Yoga cruise

Concept was great. Yoga daily swim stops and included excursions. Food was great Although Captains dinner could have been a little more special. Maybe include a glass of wine. Also daily it would be nice to know what the lunch was, perhaps even just posted somewhere.. But overall it was a great trip and I would do it again and would highly recommend

Mali Ante cruise

The crew on the Mali Ante were absolutely exceptional. Everyone was so kind and helpful and the chef was amazing, making us the most delicious food. The tour guide Sasa was a delight, making jokes and helping everyone on the boat feel welcome and included while also giving us the information we needed about our destinations. I had an amazing time on my cruise and would definitely go again!

Salve di Mare

Overall, trip was fantastic. Boat was beautiful, spacious and very clean. Monica and her cleaning crew did an amazing job keeping cabins clean and linen refreshed. Like fairies because we never saw her. Vsisko was a very good leader. He was knowledgeable, had attention to detail. Enjoyed his morning 10 am debriefs and historical information. Swim stops were the true highlight of our adventure. The only negative, or, suggestion I would have is on the food. Overall, the flavors were very good. However, we all wanted a green salad every once-in-awhile. Could even make a large salad with chicken or shrimp the main course. Or, grilled vegies with the main course. Did not like the lamb chops. Chicken dish and hummus salad was delicious! Crew and staff went above an beyond to create a special wedding anniversary celebration for my husband and me. Great memories and will recommend Sail Croatia.

Absolutely amazing holiday!

We had never booked a holiday like this so was a little apprehensive on what to expect. I can honestly say it was amazing. This was such a great way to explore Croatia. We were travelling as a family with 3 young adult/ teenage boys. This type of holiday had the perfect balance of visiting some absolutely stunning destinations and activities such a cycling around a beautiful National Park and driving a buggy through a vineyard and across the island to a beautiful beach. We particularly enjoyed our morning swim stop in beautiful locations were you could take a leisurely swim or paddle board and some snorkelling. Our boat was beautiful ( Queen Jelena) met some great people and the staff could not have done more for us - thank you Nikos and team. Would totally recommend this holiday - you will not be disappointed!

- Evelyn, 01/09/2025 13:25, Travelled with Family

Tempera August 2025

Such an easy and efficient way to see coastal Croatia. You meet lots of others on the boat, however there is plenty of time and opportunity to be by yourselves as well. The excursions are really worthwhile - we particularly enjoyed the bike ride in Mijet National Park. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I picked the below deck cabin as I was told it was quieter, however I would recommend an above deck cabin if you can. Could not fault anything with Sail Croatia and would highly recommend.

- Sharyn, 01/09/2025 09:20, Travelled with Family

Crew was great but…….

We specifically picked this boat for the hot tub which never worked for the entire trip. Very disappointed by this. We expected more regional dishes for lunch ie more seafood. Most meals were red meat based. The cabin bathrooms were far from clean. The floor under the sink was filthy and shower grout was in need of a cleaning. Really can’t say enough about the staff, super friendly and helpful and the itinerary was fantastic. All the stops were beautiful.

Cayley, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2025-10-03:

Hi Robin, thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us this season. I am pleased to see your kind words regarding the staff and carefully planned itinerary, it is great to read you enjoyed all of the beauty Croatia has to offer. We appreciate your more constructive feedback on the food. Red meat is very popular in Croatian cuisine, but I will pass your feedback regarding meals on board onto the relevant team. I'm sorry that the hot tub was not working during your cruise with us, Robin. Thank you for joining us this summer!

Explorer Split-Dubrovnik, Princeza Diana

Travelled with my husband and daughters 22 & 20yrs old. Just back from a week sailing on Princeza Diana Explorer cruise, from start to finish booking and communication was stress free with Sail Croatia. The boat was lovely and clean, food was delicious. The crew members were very polite and welcoming. Our hostess was Ioana she was so much fun and very knowledgable and worked hard to organise lots of activities for us. Our fellow ship mates were just the best we had so much fun, lots of sight seeing dancing and laughing. I can’t recommend this cruise enough definitely one of our best family holidays so far Thankyou Sail Croatia.

- Jackie, 21/08/2025 11:23, Travelled with Family

Fabulous in every way!

What made Sail Croatia so terrific was the personalized and thoughtful care each member of the crew extended towards our well-being and peace of mind. They were generous with their time, warm and approachable, and professional in every way. They communicated well and informed us in advance of any changes in plans. They articulated the history and cultural dynamics of each region clearly (Ivana!); they served us extraordinary food; they guided the boated, docked and facilitated our comings and goings with utmost grace. Everything was clean, well organized and reasonable cost-wise. I highly recommend this way of seeing Croatia!

- Jennifer, 15/08/2025 21:00, Travelled with Family

Sail Croatia was AMAXZING!

I took my 19 year old daughter on the Esperanza Explorer cruise and it exceeded my expectations by far. The ship was beautiful, the rooms spacious, the staff fantastic and knowledgeable and the itinerary was perfect. We met a huge variety of people and had a chance to connect and make new friends due to the intimate size of the cruise. Sailing to a new swim spot each morning was the BEST way to start the day, Follow that with a superb lunch and just the right amount of education on the next ports history and things to do and then we were off to explore, wine taste, kayak, hike, shop or just hang at the beach. I think this is the best way to see some of the amazing smaller islands of Croatia with the comfort of not packing and unpacking. Highly recommend Sail Croatia.

- Channing, 13/08/2025 07:15, Travelled with Family

Best Trip Ever

The entire cruise was just beautiful. From the greeting, the food, the cleanliness and especially the service! Top notch in all areas. A must do if you want to visit the islands of Croatia. The cruise director was great in giving a run down of the next port and excursions. We just signed up and showed up! The company provided the transportation to the excursions if necessary! Truly an awesome experience!

Great trip!

Thank you so much to the Sail Croatia team! Vic and his colleagues were fantastic - friendly, informative, accommodating, and always available. Regarding the food, Inow realize I should have been a little more specific on my preferences, as a vegetarian. Very heavy on the carbohydrates including bread and pasta, which we had for lunch several days. I would love salads and fresh vegetables/greens with meals. All in all this trip was fantastic. So pleased with the experience, and would definitely consider doing it again.

An Unforgettable Croatian Adventure on the Tempera

My sister and I had an incredible trip on the Tempera from August 2-9, 2025, exploring Sale, Croatia. The experience was truly stellar, thanks to the phenomenal crew and captain. They created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that felt like a floating home. Our tour guide, Vicko, was a highlight. His knowledge brought Croatia's history and culture to life. With just 25 guests, the intimate setting fostered quick friendships for all aboard. We shared meals, laughs, and adventures, making lasting connections. This trip perfectly blended relaxation and adventure! We loved every moment and highly recommend this unique cruise to anyone seeking a memorable Croatian experience. A huge thank you to the crew and especially Vicko for a trip of a lifetime!

The whole experience was fantastic! The crew, our group, the food , excursions were fabulous. I thoroughly recommend this 7 day sail from Split to Dubrovnik. Personally it would have been better to do Split to Dubrovnik instead especially if you need to get to other countries.

Even better second time round!

We have just returned from a week on Almissa, having been on the same ship 3 years previously, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about our cruise and were lucky to find a great group of like minded travellers on board who were brilliant company and very friendly. Almissa has an amazing crew, a captain who was very present and easy to chat to and hardworking, fun bar and serving staff. Klara was a fantastic guide with her humour, knowledge and helpfulness, she really made everything go seamlessly and was a lot of fun. Everyone worked hard and couldn’t do enough for us. We felt that the food was better this time than 3 years ago, so well done to the kitchen staff. We enjoyed all the beautiful towns and looked forward to the daily swim stops. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cruise and may even try another week with Sail Croatia in the future.

- Julie, 25/07/2025 19:28, Travelled with Family

A wonderful experience

From the moment we stepped on the boat to the moment we departed we received excellent care from our Tempera cruise manager Nikos and his team. Nikos and his team were warm friendly and attentive to our every need. Nikos kept us informed via the WhatsApp group chat and daily announcements and did a fantastic job of coordinating all of the fun and interesting activities. The food which included daily breakfast and lunch were delicious. I also really enjoyed the fact that it was a smaller boat with about 35 guests. We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know our lovely fellow guests from around the world and it was fun to interact with them all during the various activities that were organized on our various stops and to run into them while out and about on the islands. Another thing that I really liked was being able to visit several amazing and beautiful places in a week without needing to pack and unpack between stops. This was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

My partner and I booked onto this trip to Croatia to join family who had already booked on. We all enjoyed a fantastic holiday and had a wonderful time away.

There is nothing we would have changed, everything was great, and we have already recommended this trip to friends as the best way to visit Croatia.

A dream from start to finish!

This was hands down one of the best trips we’ve taken in years. There are so many things we loved about our experience but three things single handedly took first prize. 1. Our Sail Croatia guide Vicko was BRILLIANT!! His daily pre departure talks gave us so much rich context about the places we were going that elevated each days destination and he worked tirelessly to ensure all excursions were booked ahead of time and dinner reservations were made. Vicko is THE reason we will definitely be booking with Sail Croatia again! 2. The ship and crew- beautiful clean accommodation and the most amazing, welcoming, accommodating crew! It was really cool to get to know the captain too who was so welcoming and accommodating. 3. The food was just spectacular!! We really appreciated the opportunity to try so many traditional dishes while on the boat. We also loved the wine list which allowed us to try so many different Croatian wines over the course of the trip.

Magical week on Sail Croatia - Tempera

We just returned from a week on the Tempera from Dubrovnik to Split. I cannot wait to tell all my friends in the US about Sail Croatia. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of common area space. What really made our trip special was the CREW on the Tempera. Anything we needed or requested was addressed immediately. The food was amazing and the chefs were great. The bartenders Max & Milan, were so friendly and always handled my special drink requests with a smile. Toma was great making sure we didn’t drown at the swim stops. They were all fun to talk to and went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken care of in every way. Finally Nicos our cruise director was perfection! He always gave fabulous recommendations for restaurants, excursions and also went above and beyond. He was so knowledgeable about every island and city we visited. Anything we asked him to do he did it quickly and efficiently. He is amazing at what he does! Thanks for a perfect week!

Amazing Time and Even Better Crew!

All crewmembers were absolutely amazing! From Dino, to Karlo, to Nikola and the Captain, they were all super professional and fun!! The itinerary was spot on for what we wanted to do and I really appreciate the professionalism of our Captain. We were docked next to another Sail Croatia boat at one point whose Captain was very disrespectful to the noise ordinance times and, in turn, the other boats around them. The only recommendation I have is to add lounge chairs to the top level, not just the mats. Absolutely beautiful and we had a great time!

- Holly, 01/07/2025 01:05, Travelled with Family

Almissa is truly the best!

This is my second trip with Sail Croatia, I think that says enough on how amazing they are. Every single second was so beautiful, exciting, and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Lola, was so lovely and you can tell she wants you to enjoy your time and fall in love with not only Croatia itself but the people within it. The crew on Almissa was definitely the highlight of my trip. From the captain, to the sailors, chefs, and waiters, words cannot describe how magnificent they made this week. The food is delicious and full of flavor, the cabins feel cozy, and the boat makes you feel at home. If you can book with Almissa, I can promise you that you won’t regret it. I will be returning for a third time, specifically for the Almissa crew!!!

The staff at Sail Croatia made us so comfortable - from immediately understanding and responding to my daughter's aversion to seafood, to accommodating some last minute changes to our plans. I'm a skittish eater, but the food - both on the ship and in the ports - was delicious and fresh. While excursions were available everyday, it was perfectly fine to enjoy the sundeck or the lounge instead. The bar onboard was a little expensive, and you can't bring your own drinks onboard, but Marko's Special is now a new favorite! Our Explorer trip was blessed with a dynamite group of passengers from around the world, and we were able to connect and all have fun together - the small group size of the ship is conducive to that. Finally, a special shout-out to Klara, our Cruise Director (who didn't get the reference to Julie on the Love Boat). Klara was knowledgeable about how the ship works, what's available to do in the ports, where the good food is, and where to find hair products and bandaids!

Highly recommend for Croatia Explorers!

We were very excited about this trip and the cruise did not disappoint! All the crew members and our tour guide were extremely accommodating, helpful, and made our stay extremely pleasant. We loved the mix of downtime on the boat and time spent exploring all the port cities. We were very excited about all the excursions and did quite a number of them. I highly recommend the bike ride, the blue caves tour, and the Krka national park. The swim stops were absolutely gorgeous each day. Our entire boat became an extended family by the end of the trip. Highly recommend!

Fantastic cruise, even better staff

Between the team on the boat, including Dino, our guide, the beautiful boat itself, and the scenery we visited, could not have been better.

- Nicole, 30/06/2025 08:49, Travelled with Family

Awesome

Had such a wonderful time with my three daughters. Was an awesome passenger group and Calum and the whole crew made the trip very fun and organised.

A great trip - a few ideas for making the experience even better!

We had a great trip in June 2025. We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik on the boat Tempera (an older vessel, built in 2014). Our cabin was on the lower deck. We did have a few issues with our cabin. When we checked in, one of the beds was not made up. This was not a major issue, as we made it up ourselves. Additionally, the toilet in our cabin was running, so we alerted the crew, who advised us to flush the toilet in a specific manner. This helped, but it did not solve the problem, as the toilet still ran intermittently. The TV in our room did not work. Upon speaking to other guests, this was a common issue. The main issue was that the cabin smelled like sewage one evening. We spoke to the crew, who mentioned that a tank needed to be emptied. They emptied the tank, but again, if they could have emptied the tank in advance to prevent this from occurring, it would have improved our experience. The crew was friendly, fun, and helpful. The itinerary was great, and we loved the swim stops.

The Ultimate Summer Holiday

My mother and I sailed on the Mali Anti this summer and had a fantastic week cruising the Adriatic from Split to Dubrovnik. The excursions were a blast, the ports were beautiful, and the crew and guide made our time on the ship fun as we made new friends with the other travelers along the way. I can't wait to return to Croatia.

- Lauren, 23/06/2025 14:37, Travelled with Family

Great Family Vacation!

We had an amazing time on the Almissa! The Explorer trip was perfect for all ages. There were several families with young adults so we all made new friends. Everything was fantastic from the food to the swim stops and gorgeous islands to the fun group of people we spent the week with! Thank you for an amazing vacation.

- Rebecca, 15/06/2025 02:10, Travelled with Family

Memorable trip in a beautiful country

It was my first time visiting Croatia and first time on this type of cruise. Both were incredible - the small Explorer cruise was a great way to explore the islands of Croatia. The sea and landscape in Croatia are stunning. Our tour guide, Vicko, was knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated how honest he was about which excursions would give us the best experience, he never pushed us to book something unless he really thought we would enjoy it. (And all of his recommendations were spot on.) We traveled as a family with a broad age range, and the Explorer cruise was fun for everyone. If you can, I'd recommend spending a few days before or after the cruise visiting the cities, since we spent almost all of the time on the islands.

- Juliana, 08/06/2025 13:44, Travelled with Family

More time sightseeing, less time swimming

More comfortable seating and a shaded area on the top deck More time in port - the water is cold in early May so swimming isn’t a good activity. If the ship can’t dock earlier, the option of getting a water taxi or tender to port should be an option. Excursions were over-priced

- Anonymous, 06/06/2025 03:42, Travelled with Family

Best Experience of My Life

The cruise was incredible. I felt at home the second I got on the boat. The staff was so friendly and everyone on our boat was as well. The boat was incredibly clean and luxurious. I loved how we had time in the morning to relax and then the afternoon to do excursions and explore. It was the perfect balance. Our guide Vicko was amazing! He had so much information to share and was always honest with his recommendations about what he thought were the best things to do at each stop. We all got along so well and I feel we made lifelong friends! I would 100% do another Sail Croatia tour again!

Great Family Vacation

We chose Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on the Salve De Mare as our summer family vacation with our 20 and 24 year old children. It was the perfect mixture of relaxation, sight seeing, adventure, and exploring. Our travel rep, Vicko, was awesome. He was always leading the way with great advice and direction. The crew of the Salve de Mare went above and beyond to accommodate and ensure everyone had a good time. The food and drinks on board were diverse and delicious. This was an intimate cruise with only 33 passengers and 9 crew. We truly came as strangers and left as friends. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve de Mare. Thanks for an awesome vacation!

Sensational Week!

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

- Nicole, 19/05/2025 22:11, Travelled with Family

Fantastic Way to Experience Croatia!

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

- Rob and Carla Moorehead, 19/05/2025 14:01, Travelled with Family

Fantastic experience

The crew was friendly, competent and informative. Each port was beautiful and had activities to help us see more of the islands. They rerouted us when weather threatened to dampen our plans. Great trip, will do again

Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on Salve Di Mare – A Truly Unforgettable Experience!

Our week aboard the Salve Di Mare with Sail Croatia was nothing short of amazing! Every stop was perfectly chosen, offering the ideal balance of rich history, relaxing coastal vibes, and absolutely stunning scenery. As the first cruise of the season, it was wonderfully peaceful — the towns were quiet but still full of charm, giving us a chance to enjoy Croatia without the usual crowds. The ship itself was stunning: modern, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The crew were incredibly helpful, friendly, and truly made us feel like part of one big family. Special mention goes to our guide, Anita, who was simply next-level amazing. Her passion and deep knowledge of Croatian history made every moment memorable. She went above and beyond to ensure we experienced the very best Croatia has to offer, and by the end, it felt like we had known her forever. If you're considering this trip, my one tip would be to fly/start in Split and fly/finish out of Dubrovnik with a few nights in each.

- Chelsea, 28/04/2025 09:03, Travelled with Family

Fabulous!

Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.

- Dulce, 27/10/2024 04:07, Travelled with Family

Loved Croatia

Beautiful sea, great weather, kind and simpatico crew and staff. Kind and professional captain who took on board the requests of his guests and supported them when he could. Cleaver and knowledgable tour guide Anita always helpful, kind and fun. So, thank you it was a wonderful holiday.

- Viv, 23/10/2024 21:58, Travelled with Family

Perfect autumn break

The trip was great for my restricted mobility. The railings on all walkways and stairwells made walking around the ship possible. The crew were always available to offer a helping hand or arm. One of the sailors - Mario - was exceptionally thoughtful. He carried my mobility scooter on and off the boat, storing and charging it overnight. He was sensitive to my fears, crossing from boat to boat, offering encouragement and praise, as well as physical help. Wonderful intuitive personal skills!

- Alison, 21/10/2024 05:43, Travelled with Family

- Georgette, 14/10/2024 19:24, Travelled with Family

Amazing Experience

We travelled on the Katarina from Split return. It was so much fun and the scenery spectacular. If I had to suggest one thing that is a must I would say you need to book on the Katarina. It is a family run yacht and they honestly treat you like family. It was 5 star from start to finish.

- Sandy, 14/10/2024 09:36, Travelled with Family

Fantastic experience!

My sister and I had a great trip on the Tempera ship. What more can I say about the amazing crew, the 5 star meals, the swim stops and the experiences that were set up by our hard-working, devoted ship activity director, Ioana. The small ship atmosphere is the way to go. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

- Carolyn , 07/10/2024 19:23, Travelled with Family

Sail Croatia Explorer's trip

A week to remember

What a wonderful week on Tempra Explorer Cruise this week. The crew were extremely helpful and attentive. The chef was masterful in his approach to Croatian cuisine. Lovely presentations and always supremely delicious. Our Sail Croatia host Victor was such a positive influence. He is funny and very knowledgeable. Our cabin was easily large enough for 2 adults and good size bathroom and shower. Loved this cruise!

Loved my 7 day cruise on Almissa! Every day waking up to stunning Croatian islands, towns and cities was such a fantastic experience with options to do as much or little as you want. Almissa the boat was clean and well equipped to cater for all passengers. The cabin was spacious and comfortable and the crew including Dino the Cruise Director were fantastic! I would 100% recommend and if I'm ever over this side of the globe again, wouldn't hesitate to join another Sail Croatia cruise.

Salve Di Mare

Our passionate Sail Croatia guide Ivan was always there for us with recommendations for activities and food and local history at our Port stops .

Anita was our rep and was FANTASTIC - kind, patient, informative, fun and with the best energy, she made our trip truly special. I would do Sail Croatia just to be led by her and the fantastic crew too. Nikolina and Errol, thank you for warm hearts and huge generosity - SO much fun and amazing to sail with. Our captain and all other crew were wonderful too. The food was also outstanding with exceptional service to match all round. A very beautiful boat too which I could have cruised on for days and days. The cruise route was also fabulous and such a brilliant way to see Croatia. This exceeded my expectations and more.

- Sandra, 29/07/2024 19:28, Travelled with Family

Salve Di Mare a beautiful ship!

We did a 7 night cruise from Dubrovnik to Split on Salve Di Mare with two teenagers, other family and friends. There were 10 of us and another 28 people on board. The boat itself is lovely with spacious cabins , a great dining room, tons of sun beds on the top level , a large outdoor lounge area and a spa at the front. So glad we chose this option instead of a catamaran. The itinerary changes as you go so you cant plan to do activities apart from those offered on the boat (which you book the day before each port) . We did the bike hire at Mijet, both wineries and the dune buggy tour. The dune buggy is not what we expected. No ‘off road ‘ dune bashing… just a ride around the island in buggies or jeeps on paved roads. Not worth the 60 euros each person. Make sure you get off the boat at Hvar when they offer a water taxi as it is a lovely town. Make sure you see the Blue Cave near Vis. It is spectacular. The meals are great (included) and the drinks expensive on board (not included).

Beyond our wildest expectations

I was travelling with my 78yr old mum 50yr old sister and 23yr old daughter and can't fault anything The trip was beyond our expectations If I could give 10stars I would The staff were better than any 5 star resort they felt like part of our family Anita was amazing I've travelled all over the world and done many cruises / tours and it's rare to come across someone as dedicated as ANITA she is an asset to your company as is Nicolina , eorl and the captain and cooks We are already looking at booking another trip with you next year and will be highly recommending to all our family friends and others Thanks for a trip of a lifetime

- Heidi, 16/07/2024 15:39, Travelled with Family

Tempera gave us the best way to explore Croatia!!!

The boat was extremely beautiful and spotless. Besides the boat and sailing the gorgeous islands of the Croatia it wouldn’t have been such an amazing experience without the crew. Everyone from the crew was kind, funny, friendly and truly just some of the most wonderful people you could meet. I would definitely book with sail Croatia again but it would have to be with the Tempera crew and Nikos our tour manager. The entire trip was breathtaking to say the least. The food was delicious and the drinks were also great! Everything was truly value for money. I will never forget this cruise or the people who made the experience even better than I could have imagined.

A fab holiday with my son that was exactly what i hoped for. The swim stops were a highlight; we made many new friends and the Island stops were wonderful. An expensive holiday for South Africans but this was a real rest and i didn't have to make any travel decisions during the week and could just enjoy the holiday.

Very good trip

Pero and Branco were great - helpful, friendly, hard-working. We would love to sail with them again! We booked a twin (for our daughters) and a double room (for myself and my husband), but we were given 2 twin rooms, which was not ideal. We booked our trip well in advance and confirmed at the time of booking that we were reserving a twin and a double. The meals were great - however, I would love to see an option of a lighter lunch - maybe some good salads and a protein option, versus the heavy lunch meals. Anna’s lack of experience showed and it would have been nice to have someone who knew the history a bit better. Additionally, she would only give her daily update at the end of lunch, after dessert. If you skipped dessert, you missed the recap. It would be better for her to give the update at the beginning of lunch, as everyone was sitting down and waiting for the food. This way, people could discuss the excursions during lunch. Also, her directions & information were not great.

Ceira, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2024-06-19:

Hi Abby, Thank you for your 4 star review. We are pleased to hear you found the Onboard Reps and crew helpful and friendly - your comments will be passed on to them. It's great to see your cruise rating received an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 stars. On some of our ships, the double beds can be two single beds pushed together to make a double bed and this was the case with your double bed cabin. Thank you for your kind comments on the meals served. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed this overall and we appreciate your suggestions for lighter options, thank you. That's a wonderful suggestion regarding the daily updates at the start of lunch. We appreciate your comments regarding your Onboard Rep, although we are a little surprised as this is one of our experienced Reps and our records show that she received ratings of 4.9 out of 5 for your departure. Thank you again for your comments and suggestions and we hope to have you join us again in the future.

Sailing on the Tempera

This was my first experience of doing something like this and I came along with my daughter, not knowing what to expect. The experience surpassed my expectations. The crew were brilliant, in particular I would mention Branco, who ensured that my complicated dietary needs were met every day. He always had a smile on his face. The food was amazing and there was plenty of it. Lola was very helpful and gave us lots of information. What made the trip so much fun was the group of people on board from all around the world. One thing I would say though, is that we were a bit disappointed that some of the excursions listed and we were hoping to do, didn't go ahead. Maybe it should be mentioned in the advertising that certain things may not happen as this was disappointing. In particular, my daughter wanted to do the kayaking and then we were told that it really wasn't very good. Maybe in your advertising you should say that or that it is weather dependent. Apart from this, truly fabulous.!

- Jo, 03/06/2024 12:56, Travelled with Family

A wonderful holiday with memories to cherish forever!

The boat was well equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast selection was plentiful and varied. The 3 course lunch every day was delicious! All the stops had something different to offer and we enjoyed every one. We were blown away by the beauty of the country! The crew were fantastic. Lola was our very informative guide and looked after us well, always being on call whenever we needed help or advice. Branco was so helpful and smiley and gave so much thought into making the meals suitable for my Mum who has quite specific dietary needs. Yolande was always so friendly and had a 'nothing is too much' attitude even lending us her phone one day to listen to music. The rest of the crew were great too. The only thing I was a little bit disappointed with was a couple of the excursions were discouraged/didn't happen - but we enjoyed each stop anyway. Finally, we made some great friends on board and will always remember the fun times we had. Thank you Sail Croatia, we will be back!

- Kelly , 03/06/2024 10:33, Travelled with Family

Excellent week with Sail Crotia

From start to finish the experience with Sail Croatia was amazing! We had a fantastic time exploring this beautiful part of the world. The crew on board couldn't have been more helpful and our rep was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The itinerary was just right and we spent just enough time in every place we explored. The ship was beautiful and had a perfect amount of space and was always kept very clean. It would have been great to have seen more of the adventurous excursions on the itinerary to choose from and I think the BBQ dinner could have been better - compared to the rest of the food that was provided on the ship (breakfasts/lunches which were amazing!) but apart from that it was a great trip!

Excellent Holiday - Explorer Cruise

Our Cruise on Tempera exceeded my expectations in all ways. The above deck cabins were lovely and more spacious than expected with large windows and doors to the outside to take in all the views. Food was very good with large helpings as well as water/ tea/coffee and lights snacks available throughout the day at no cost. Ioana did an excellent job offering so much information about Croatia and going above and beyond organizing ample excursions and evenings out for all guests, and always with a smile.

Use this company!!! Sail with tour Rep/Coordinator Ivan BozicB. Best Croatia cruse adventure ever

Our Sail Croatia adventure was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better tour rep/coordinator than Ivan Bozic and the boat's Captain Davon along with his crew (Tina, Cezar, Tonci, Marko, and Darija). His dedication to our safety throughout the trip was truly commendable. He planned the best excursions and we enjoyed learning about Croatian culture and history as well. Ivan's expert coordination of the activities ensured that we had the time of our lives, with every moment filled with excitement and adventure. Thanks to Ivan's meticulous planning of places for dining/drinking, shopping, and water activities; our vacation was nothing short of perfection. From stunning coastal ports/towns to thrilling water sports, this trip was worth every penny. We are immensely grateful to Ivan B. and would not hesitate to choose Sail Croatia again for our future adventures with him as the tour rep/coordinator. Thanks to Sail Croatia.

N fantastische reis! A fantastic trip!

De boot was prachtig,het eten heerlijk. De bemanning heel goed en vriendelijk, de hut was keurig. We hebben hele mooie dingen gezien Een onvergetelijke reis! 1 nadeel:drankjes aan boord zijn wel erg duur. The boat was wunderful, the food delicious. The crew very good and friendly, the room was super. We've seen beautiful things. The trip was unforgettable! (1 thing:the drinks on board are very expensive)

Fabulous Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise

We did an Explorer Cruise on the Katarina in August and had a wonderful time. The boat was very modern and luxurious and the cabins were spacious and clean. We loved the daily swim stops at beautiful bays. Our guide Stjepan was great and took us on daily walking tours at every island we visited and gave us great dining recommendations every day. The food was of an excellent standard. Thanks very much to the Captain Ivan and the rest of the crew who were very friendly and helpful. There was also a great mix of guests, of different nationalities and ages but we all got along very well.I highly recommend this cruise to anyone that wants to experience the beauty of the Croatian islands on a luxurious small ship cruise.

Hi Lycia, thank you for your 5 star review and for joining us on board Katarina for your Explorer cruise with us this season. We are so pleased to read what a fabulous time you had and that you really were so pleased with all aspects of the cruise, this is amazing. Thank you for adding to a fantastic atmosphere on board!

Breathtaking!

We had the most wonderful time seeing beautiful Croatia - our first stop on a Euro Tour. The staff were incredible; knowledgeable; funny; and kind, and made the trip and dream. So thankful for this wonderful opportunity!

Excellent family holiday

We travelled as 2 families with young adult children. The cruise worked really well for us & we had a great time. Our on board rep, Ivana was always ready to help & offer suggestions. Would recommend.

Croatia Adventures

Our Tour Manager Ivana was so knowledgeable and friendly, she showed us great places to visit and joined the group for dancing and singing on the boat too.... Ivana took us on some great tours. Our waiter Eril on the Princes Diana cruise was very attentive, friendly and smiled even if was up early and to bed late...he couldn't do enough for you. The size of our room was surprisingly larger than I expected and could take the large suitcases under our bed...We had a room on main deck area which all the other boats had to pass to get from one ship to another when docked, but we never heard anyone pass our door late at night so that was a bonus... a wee tip, I felt our room was a bit damp with the air conditioning and door closed, however my brother kept his door open when we were sailing as money locked in safe and trusted our crew and travellers on board and the breeze would flow through which was refreshing.

Almissa adventure

We had a great group of people of varying ages and nationalities. I was a bit worried as we had our young adult children , 21 and 18 with us but there were4 other teenagers on board along with around 4 other couples in their early 20s. The cruise itself was amazing, I loved the schedule of breakfast, swim stop and then explore a new place/ go on an excursion in the afternoon. The staff were amazing, always willing to go above and beyond and our guide Vicko, so knowledgeable and helpful. The boat itself had a great setup and very cosy and friendly feel about it.

Best way to see the Dalmatian coast!

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and will remember it for a lifetime! The sales team was efficient and courteous with all questions that we asked. The entire team on the Almissa boat exceeded our expectations. Karolina was our tour guide and she was organized, kind, and very helpful in providing tips for each destination. We highly recommend this tour on the Explorer cruise.

Best Way to See a Variety of Islands

If you are “island curious,” you can’t go wrong with this plan! The crew and Ivana were excellent and happy to help with any needs and questions. Communication was great. The food exceeded my expectations. Other travelers and I agree that a solo/singles cruise is needed - an adult party cruise. We’d come back for that!

- Heather Suggitt, 14/08/2023 23:23, Travelled with Family

Amazing!!

We had the most amazing holiday with Sail Croatia. It was well organised from booking to the end! . The crew were so helpful and professional I can’t thank them all enough including our rep Carolina. We loved every minute of it and can’t recommend this holiday enough!

- Louise, 09/08/2023 20:56, Travelled with Family

Great trip!

Our cruise director, Iwana, was amazing....She was on top of everything, making sure we all had a wonderful time. She jumped on the slightest request or concern...Seemed to be working every minute. She truly enhanced the experience, far beyond expectations. Croatia is beautiful and our excursions were enjoyable. Time relaxing on board gave us the chance to socialize with great people. The meals were delicious and food was plentiful, Only drawback to the dining room was that it was difficult to hear---a microphone for the daily updates would be helpful...Acoustics in the room make even conversation across a table tough. Truly a wonderful experience I'm happy to recommend to anyone considering it.

- Kathy, 12/07/2023 18:12, Travelled with Family

Awesome trip!

I didn’t know what to expect, but the trip was relaxing and fun. Great crew and our tour representative Ioana was fun and very informative-making sure we understood where we needed to be and answered all our questions. I would take another Sail Croatia cruise again!

The perfect way to see Croatia

I enjoyed my experience with Sail Croatia so much. It was the perfect way to see Dalmatia. I love that the ship was not too big - it made making friends (from all over the world!) a lot easier. The crew was excellent as well as Ioana, our guide and main contact. The swim stops were awesome and the chef accommodated my dairy allergy beautifully. Thank you Sail Croatia!

The Trip of a Lifetime!

Our Split to Split travels with Sail Croatia on Princeza Diana were amazing from start to finish! I was concerned that seasickness might be an issue, but it was smooth sailing ever day. Our cabin was plenty big with comfortable beds and nice linens. The layout of the boat suited all of our needs with spots to soak up the sun, visit with other travels, or relax on our own. The food was outstanding! Every day at lunch we were presented a delicious 4 course meal! Breakfast always included fresh fruit, an egg dish, meats, yogurt, etc. We looked forward to the daily swim spots and exploring different towns each day. The crew was exceptional: Friendly, hardworking, and helpful! Ivana, our tour manager, was knowledgeable and so personable! She gave us advice and recommendations that were spot-on every time. She even arranged for a taxi for us after our cruise had ended and she was out at sea again! We strongly urge anyone considering a cruise to sign up with Sail Croatia.

The Most Amazing Trip!!

Everything about this trip was absolutely perfect! The boat was clean, the food was good, and the crew went above and beyond for us. Boris and Erol worked hard to ensure that all of our needs were met when we were on the boat, and Ivana provided help finding and booking everything off the boat. I would highly recommend the size of boat that Sail Croatia offers. It was so great getting to know the group of 32 guests on board, but never felt overwhelming. The boat itself was big enough that individuals and families could have their own space when needed, but we also decided to have some big group dinners together. I could not have asked for a better group of guests or crew. I will remember this trip forever!

- Caitlyn , 04/07/2023 21:19, Travelled with Family

Amazing!!!!

Klara was the most wonderful & most enthusiastic employee, her dedication to caring for everyone’s needs went above and beyond. Her knowledge towards locations and its history were impeccable. Boat itself was incredibly clean and spacious. Swim spots were amazing.

Amazing cruise

Our explorer cruise was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults in our 50s and 2 girls in their 20s ) Klara our tour director was great, full of useful information and a great sense of humour. All the staff on our cruise , the Almissa were super friendly and attentive. The boat was spotlessly clean . The cruise stops were fantastic. Thoroughly recommended as a great way to see the beautiful islands off the Dalmatian coast with the perfect blend of relaxation and sightseeing!

- Jill, 03/07/2023 11:24, Travelled with Family

Sail of Croatia you will not be disappointed.

The boat was an excellent choice called Salve di Mare It had everything you need amazing food for breakfast & lunch & tea, coffee & cold water at any time of day.. The swim spots were out of this world amazing with floaties & paddle boards to play with. The Host Klara was a beautiful person that was very helpful & would go out of her way to make sure you had all the information you needed & was very informative & funny too. She really made our trip enjoyable & memorable. Our daughter’s recommendation Sail of Croatia & we would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to do a cruise in Croatia. We will definitely do another one with them.

Highly Recommend this AMAZING cruise!!!

My sister and I sailed on the Almissa with Klara and the sweet crew. They made the trip extra special . From Kara’s deep, genuine laugh to the cozy blanket I was given early one windy morning so I could enjoy my morning cup of coffee on the sundeck I had all to myself. I loved how organized the tour was. Klara kept us infirned of all the upcoming events very well. I loved the What’s App group chat so we could all communicate easily, stay informed and share fun photos. The daily swim stops were so much fun. I loved swimming to shore a few times to explore on my own. Several of us even jumped I to the water from the very high sundeck. So much FUN!!! The excursions were very organized and perfect for each stop. And each island was incredible. I’m even adjusting my plans after the cruise so I can enjoy Vis more. There is something for everyone on this trip: the young girls on their hen party trip all the way to the elderly ladies. I’ll do it again with my husband!!!
