The team on the ship were wonderful, couldn’t be more accommodating, friendly, and so kind. We loved each and everyone of them.

We sailed on the Mail Ante from Split to Dubrovnik, we had the absolute best time ever. The crew were fantastic, the food was amazing, we loved Mario who looked after us every day like he was our family. So welcoming, Lola our tour guide was gorgeous, friendly and very informative, giving us realistic expectations of tours and local bars, restaurants etc. The lower deck cabin was. Very spacious much bigger than I imagined and very quiet The age range on board ranged from early twenties to late sixties. Would I go again, absolutely in a heartbeat. Croatia has won my heart. Chef and his mate were great, so happy and great food everyday. Well done crew

The crew on Mali Ante are absolutely phenomenal! They are kind, accommodating, fun and work at the very high level of service in the industry relentlessly. Our tour manager, Lola, really made every day exciting and shortlisted everything which was best and worth our money! She is patient, so kind, funny and makes every location experience better with tailored and realistic reviews. Very grateful for the experience especially as a solo female. Felt so safe and cared for!

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.

First time in Croatia and the cruise was a fabulous way to see this beautiful place. The crew was so friendly and helpful - would recommend!

Klara was fun, informative and d there when needed. Cesar was so fun to visit. Always joking. Everyone so friendly. Can't re.ember all na.es but excellent crew. This was second trip on Almissa and I tell everyone who will listen

Our group of 5 toured Croatia aboard the Almissa, leaving from Dubrovnick and ending in Split. We had a wonderful trip thanks to our tour guide Klara and the rest of the crew. Klara was knowledgeable, helpful, fun and provided excellent recommendations.... the trip would not have been the same without her. The food was plentiful and delicious, the swim stops were amazing, the excursions offered something for everyone, the ports were fantastic and the scenery was absolutely breath-taking. Highly recommend!!!!

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
There is truly not enough space for me to explain how phenomenal this trip was! If you are even considering Croatia as a destination, CHOOSE THIS CRUISE! The guide was knowledgable and thorough, but FUN! The food was fresh and top tier every onboard meal. The skills of the Captain were literally awe inspiring. The housekeeping was tidy, homey and love filled. The drinks were extremely tasty, but the bartenders were attentive, entertaining and always on point. The excursions were full of adventure and breathtaking beauty - and the friends we met wile on the ship will hopefully be a part of our lives forever. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE ENOUGH. BOOK IT!.

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

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

From the first hour, Anita and the crew on the Tempera made sure we were having a great time. Every stop was breathtaking with multiple opportunities for swims and excursions without feeling rushed. This is an unmissable opportunity - definitely book! Thank you so much to Anita and the Tempera for making our trip the best it could possibly be - the team really made it excellent.
- Kaila, 29/07/2025 12:14, Travelled in a Couple
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
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! 🫶
- Nadia, 28/07/2025 18:45, Travelled in a Couple
Had such a fun time! Our tour manager Anita was such a sweetheart, so organised and genuinely cared if we had a good time. She made sure we were well informed and helped build friendships among the guests. The service was amazing. Max and Milan were attentive, friendly and funny. The food was mostly great, I am a vegetarian and got served cheese in almost every lunch, more of a protein variety would have been amazing but what was served was still delicious, just a lot. The captain Frano and sailors (I’m sorry I forgot their names!) made sure we were safe and kept to scheduled times so it was easy to plan our days, they were lovely people as well. Every location was beautiful and so charming. Especially Mljet, we biked through the national park and it was gorgeous, please do it if you get the chance! Would definitely recommend to people who like a good mix of relaxation, culture and partying. Thanks sail Croatia, I’ll definitely be back in future!

What an amazing way to see Croatia. It was truly amazing. The crew and host were brilliant. The explorer is a great mix of ages and found like-minded travellers that will end up being life long friends! I will be back!
- Sophie, 28/07/2025 05:02,
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
I had a 5 star experience on Sail Croatia explorer cruise for many reasons including the wonderful group of people onboard, the staff who attended to every need, the swim stops, excursions on offer, and the meals were 10/10 (the staff were also very accommodating when I informed them I don’t eat red meat). Our Sail Croatia Representative, Vicko, went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could be, he was always willing to offer advice, to join us on excursions, provide relative and interesting information about the locations we visited, and tailor our experiences to ensure we had the best time possible. He was the best tour guide I have ever met, he helped me to find a local chemist, made restaurant recommendations, and assisted in making local bookings. I feel the experience would not have been the same without him, and he became a friend to all by the end of the cruise. I will be back and will be recommending this trip to others as it was such a positive experience.
- Jodie, 23/07/2025 13:57, Travelled Solo
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.
- Deanna, 23/07/2025 10:45, Travelled with Family
The staff could not have been more polite and helpful!! The itinerary was well planned. Great use of our time!! Food was delicious. The boat was well cared for and impeccably clean. Vicko was our host. He was fabulous. Great suggestions on local “must sees”. Would highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience on Sail Croatias Almissa. The crew were all so friendly and welcoming, the chefs cooked food that was incredible and above my expectations. Klara, our host was an absolute gem and full of knowledge 💕 highly recommend 🛳️
- Emma, 23/07/2025 07:59, Travelled in a Couple
Just returned from an unforgettable Sail Croatia trip! The itinerary was perfectly planned, giving us the ideal balance of adventure, relaxation, and stunning island stops. The real highlight, though, was the incredible crew — professional, friendly, and always going the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. A special shoutout to our main guide, Vicko, whose knowledge, energy, and humor made the journey even more memorable. The food on board exceeded all expectations — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every day. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to explore the Croatian coast!

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. Our experience on Almissa was first class - a wonderful ship with excellent facilities, friendly and hardworking crew members, and tasty onboard meals. 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. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for a fabulous holiday and wonderful memories!

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.

- Sam, 22/07/2025 09:54, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Gabriella, 22/07/2025 06:38, Travelled with Family
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.

Croatia is a beautiful holiday destination so impressed with how stunning it is. Cruising with Sail Croatia onboard the Tempera was the perfect option. The crew, from the Captain, Max, the chef, Pero and our tour host Nikos provided an unforgettable holiday. Loved everything about it! Thank you

An unforgettable way to see the Croatian Islands. The crew was incredibly kind and attentive, the three-course lunches were consistently delicious, and the passengers felt like instant friends—making every stop even more special. This trip set the bar high for future travels! x

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!

What a wonderful week spent on this boat in such a beautiful country. The boat crew were incredible. so friendly and helpful and the boat itself was very comfortable. we loved the swim stops.
- melinda, 21/07/2025 04:42, Travelled with Family
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.

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!!

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!
