Better than we anticipated. The staff, guides, locations, rides, bikes and people on the cruise were all fantastic. Would do it again in a heartbeat. A definite must do if you love exploring beautiful places

The cycling, the crew, the food and the rest of the guests were all fabulous! We were on Classic bikes, which was challenging at times however that's what we wanted! Scenery was beautiful and every day brought more fun and enjoyment. Would definitely repeat the whole thing!!

We loved our time on board the Mali Ante. The crew and tour guides were very nice, helpful and fun to be around. The food was great. The excursions to the different islands were amazing. The islands are so beautiful. We loved everyone of them. The cycling was perfect for all of us - from beginner to advanced - we all handled it well. This is definitely the best of Croatia.

We have traveled all over and this was tge best vacation ever. Sail Croatia was so organized from start to finish. The boat, the crew, the meals and all the other guests....excellent! The bike rides were amazing and all the islands were so beautiful. We will be back!

We had an incredible experience with Sail Croatia! The cycle guides (Andro and Lovre) and boat crew (Lucia, Valentina, and all cooks and staff) were helpful, attentive to detail, and made us all feel right at home in a new country. We had a few weather shifts that meant we had to pivot the original itinerary a bit and I couldn't be more impressed with how they made that feel seamless for us passengers. We enjoyed the daily cycling routes and the food provided on the boat was outstanding, too. My only feedback would be to provide swimming towels (those are a pain to pack, let's be honest) and shower soap in the bathrooms! Thank you for an amazing trip!

Everything about the e-cycling/sailing trip was a wow. The sights, the bike, the people, the food. It was all fantastic. Croatia is a stunning country-and very hilly. The e-bikes worked perfectly, for an occasional cycler, I had no problems and didn't mind the hills at all. We had some weather to contend with and the crew pivoted quickly and very professionally. Finding last minute ports, bike rides and great experiences and places to dine. We stayed above deck and would recommend that. Also got bike shorts and glad we did, we were comfy all week long. If you are thinking about this, just do it. It was an unforgettable experience.

Just a really great way to see coastal Croatia. The boat gave us a clean and comfortable base for bicycling. The roads were consistently hilly, but the e bikes were up to the task. I had mine on high power for most of the rides and never ran out of juice. We agreed that we might have handled the hills without e bikes, but it would have been way less fun! Our weather in October was cool for swimming, but worked well for biking, even though the Borro winds were blowing. The staff was professional, the on board food was delicious, and the villages we visited were clean and interesting.
- Cleo, 13/10/2025 17:08, Travelled in a Couple
We had an incredible week sailing and cycling from Dubrovnik to Split with Sail Croatia! The route was stunning, the e-biking experiences were well-organized, and the landscapes were unforgettable. The Sail Croatia team overall was professional and ensured everything ran smoothly — big thanks to the guides and crew who made the adventure memorable. That said, we felt the dining crew could have been a bit more friendly and approachable. While everything was handled efficiently, a warmer, more engaging attitude would have made mealtimes even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a unique way to see the Croatian coast — highly recommend the tour, and we hope to see continued improvements in hospitality on board.

We just finished our 8 day ride Sail Croatia trip & it was fabulous……on so many levels!. Firstly the staff were fantastic, They looked after us all superbly whether sailing our boat in rough seas, serving up endless delicious meals & keeping us safe on the bikes …….they were nothing short of superb. We loved our “active time” with Tonka & Ana, seeing the various villages & landscapes, hearing the history of Croatia & challenging our fitness levels & then some “down time” before exploring the villages. It was a great mix of activity & relaxation. From 2 very recreational riders we loved the cycling. And lastly, our group! We had sooo many laughs & it was special to connect with 28 “new friends” from all parts of the world. Thank you Sail Croatia “A” Team
- Anna, 13/10/2025 07:01, Travelled in a Couple
Everything was well laid out and organized daily. The staff were professional and friendly. We felt safe and appreciated ,and as a result we were well taken care of morning to night.

Well organised. Great crew. A wonderful, friendly and like minded group. Delicious food. Cycling routes were fantastic.

Our trip started in Dubrovnik where we joined our Sail Croatia boat. Communication about the departure information was clear. We’d arrive a couple of days early to explore the Old city which was a good move as there’s plenty to see. We found it very clean and the locals friendly. A lot of cruise ships arrive into major cities which does lead to a lot of other tourists about. Once we joined our boat and sailed off to our first island with our friendly adventurers, calm resumed. Croatia is surprisingly mountainous but with most of us on sturdy e-bikes that wasn’t a problem. Five of the 32 guests were using regular bikes but all were strong cyclists and powered up the inclines. Cycling through olive groves and vineyards as well as through ancient villages was a real pleasure to complement grinding up a mountainous road to the lookout at the top. Early Oct weather was a little chilly but the sun shone several days and no rain. I did get a few mossie bites. Food on board was good.
- Jennie, 10/10/2025 06:51, Travelled in a Couple
The staff! Ivica and Sonja, our guides, were fabulous! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!! Couldn’t have asked for better. Clearly they love their jobs and love people! They gave wonderful recommendations. Excursions they offered were amazing, being immersed in their culture. The food was excellent. Just trouble keeping food warm, which is understandable on a boat. Chef was top notch. Food allergies were handled nicely. Wait staff and sailor and other staff couldn’t have been kinder and more helpful. On the biking tours, I recommended that no photo taking while biking should be a strict rule. Very dangerous for biker taking photos as well as other bikers in the group!! Boat needed some updating. Cabins were clean but very small. We would totally book another tour, maybe on another bigger boat. Thank you to everyone who made our tour so wonderful!!

The trip was very well organized. We were updated daily on how the day would go and than also sent all the info on Whatsapp. Everything was above and beyond my expectations even though we had to change plans a few times. Our bike guide Marin was amazing. He is so very knowledgeable and made us feel very safe riding in some dangerous locations. It felt like We all respected him right from the moment we heard him speak. Ilona was the back guide and she is a sweet, caring girl who was always so helpful and supportive. She was always making sure everyone was doing ok and she was great to hang with the group and get to know everyone. This was a trip i won’t forget and i will definitely be recommending to friends.
- Beverley, 08/10/2025 19:24, Travelled with Family
This was my first time in Croatia traveling with my husband and another couple from the US. The cruise was above and beyond my expectations. The food was outstanding. We had hot breakfasts and 3 courses for lunch every day. Our guides Jasco and Ana were both amazing. The bike rides were all well planned but there were some changes due to weather, which they improvised very well.. Both of the guides emphasized safety first . This was a great way to see Croatia and a few of the beautiful islands. I would highly recommend this cruise to someone looking for an active and fun vacation.
- Becky, 07/10/2025 17:28, Travelled in a Couple
We had an excellent time on our 7 day Dubrovnik to Split bike tour. J and Anna, our bike guides, were kind, friendly, and helpful. Safety was always a priority on our rides. We had a few spicy weather days and J made accommodations to ensure both fun and safety. The servers on board were always cheerful and ready to please! Overall, our group of 4, had a great time and would recommend this tour.
- Shari, 07/10/2025 12:02, Travelled with Family
The guides were great. Even at the end of summer they were upbeat and fun. The islands of Croatia a a perfect location for a sail and bike vacation.
- Cecilia , 06/10/2025 15:11, Travelled in a Couple
This was a wonderful balance of exercise, educational experiences and relaxation. The guides were wonderful with providing an experience that was enjoyed by all and were able to adapt to the changing weather conditions and keep us informed. Our 14 year old enjoyed the trip too. The ride was harder than what we expected, but we enjoyed the challenge of the hills and there was an option to upgrade to the E-bike.
- Kim, 06/10/2025 11:31, Travelled with Family
Everything was fantastic! The crew took such good care of us. The food was great! The bikes and biking were excellent. We loved every minute!

We planned an entire European holiday (from Australia) around this trip. From the moment we boarded Emanuel to the time we disembarked we were having the time of our lives. The boat is immaculate and has everything we needed for the week of sailing. Its crew are exceptional and ensured every need of every passenger was met. A special shout out to George, the chef. Every meal someone else cooks for me is hugely appreciated, but George went above and beyond to serve delicious 3 and 4 course meals, tailored to our dietary requirements. Every day (except our boarding day ex-Dubrovnik) we cycled a new and exciting place. All routes were suitable for all levels of experience, scenic and fun. We opted for e-bikes, which proved to be a great idea. I mean, we were on holidays after all. The cycling guides are knowledgeable and careful, without spoiling the fun. If you’re thinking about booking this, take our advice and go for it. You won’t regret it and we may see you there! J & J September 25
- Jay, 30/09/2025 08:12, Travelled in a Couple
Provide daily written out itinerary for people to actually read what times and where things were going on. Have an intercom (overhead speaker) so people can be alerted of pertinent info for all passengers. Verbal daily communication from guide was poor on daily activities. Cycle times need to be longer with less “coffee” breaks (30 min ride, 45 min stop) Our guide, was rude. Our other guide, Mario, was great. Overall, first impression of accommodations found that a bed overhead light was broken with wires exposed, safe didn’t work, tight quarters and air conditioning was poor, Reported broken light immediately and it was repaired.. Safe reported not working, told how to use by crew, but those instructions didn’t work….finally found written safe instructions on top shelf (which we couldn’t see beforehand) and was able to get the safe working on our own.. Food was ok. Bikes were outstanding quality….so good, I’m considering purchasing that brand. Swim stops were great.
- Charlene, 29/09/2025 12:51, Travelled with Family
Hi Charlene, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for highlighting the many positives – we’re pleased to know you enjoyed the swim stops, food, guidance from Mario, and the quality of the bikes, which we’re glad to hear impressed you enough to consider purchasing for yourself. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding a written itinerary, intercom, and cycle breaks, which have been passed on to our Operations Team. We are disheartened to read your comments about one of the Guides, as he has consistently received high praise throughout the season. We’re glad the issues with the light and safe were addressed during your stay, and we will share your note about clearer instructions with our team. Your comments are valuable as we continue striving to enhance our guests’ experience.
The guests, guides and crew were all fabulous and really made this holiday a cherished experience. Like minded active individulas cycling over the Croatian Islands. Spectacular sights and loads of fun. The crew was very attentive and the breakfast and lunches were really good too. Thank you for a fantastic experience and wonderful memories.
- Carmen, 29/09/2025 05:51, Travelled in a Couple
I knew this trip would be great but it exceeded my expectations. I never rode an E bike before just mountain biked but felt very comfortable on both dirt roads and roads with cars. A wonderful way to enjoy the scenery which was exquisite. Could have rode a little further on some days but did appreciate having a day to explore on our own. Both Andro and Tony and the rest of the staff were so nice and very knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was perfect and sailing between the islands was smooth and very relaxing. The boat was nice and clean and room accommodations were comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to come back from our ride half way through the trip and bedding and towels were changed out. I will without a doubt recommend this trip to friends. We also had a great group of other passengers that we enjoyed meeting.
- Andrea, 28/09/2025 17:54, Travelled in a Couple
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip on board Colombo. There was a perfect combination of cycling, boating, swimming and relaxation. The staff were extremely polite and attentive, particularly Marin and Josip who were always approachable, helpful and fun! I look forward to doing another trip with Sail Croatia and recommending them to friends.
- Sally, 27/09/2025 06:24, Travelled in a Couple
The staff and guides were lovely and kind. The wait staff Valentina and Lucy were so friendly and obliging. It was a pleasure to talk with them. The guides Toni and Andre were fun and informative and it was nice that they sat and ate with the guests.
- Antonella, 27/09/2025 03:40, Travelled in a Couple
This is a must do trip,a great way to combine abit of exercise and to explore Croatia. The two guides Marin and Josip were excellent very knowledgeable and nothing was a problem. Everyday they explained the plan for the next day so you always knew what was happening. They also gave recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing at the port stops. So stop thinking about it and book as sometimes life and circumstances can change. Thanks for a great week.
- Christine , 26/09/2025 16:32, Travelled with Family
The cycling guides were great and very informative. The islands visited were beautiful and steeped in history. The staff were attentive and met all our needs, very hard working. Kudos to all the staff.
- Lori, 26/09/2025 15:48, Travelled in a Couple
Great staff. Bike routes well laid out and planned with interesting stops for swimming and cafes to get a delicious cup of coffee. Bikes were well maintained and very easy to ride. Any problems that did arise were handled quickly. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of food to choose from. Coffee not so good, needs improvement. Could purchase cappuccino on board which was good. Lunch definitely needs improvement. Most times it was cold. Soup was watery. Desserts were delicious. No on board safety protocols. We didn’t realize until third day into trip that life vests were under our bed. I would definitely recommend this trip.
- Henny, 26/09/2025 09:24, Travelled with Family
Our guides, Marin and Josip, were outstanding! They provided detailed information about each day's cycling route and the history about each island we visited. They were always available to answer any questions/address any concerns. Both guys were so passionate about their job, and they had such a great sense of humor. In addition, the rest of the crew was fabulous, also. We mainly interacted with Bruno, the bartender, dining room host, and server. He also did an outstanding job taking care of all of us. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active vacation!
- Mary Jo, 24/09/2025 10:47, Travelled with Family

Loved the experience - beautiful scenery and weather - a great way to see many little towns in various islands, the right amount of biking and relaxing time and our guides Marin and Josip were friendly, patient, helpful and knowledgeable.

My family and I, all adults, enjoyed a fabulous time aboard the Mali Ante just recently during the week of September 13 - 20th, 2025. The captain and his crew took exceptional care of us throughout the week. Ivica and Sasa were our terrific personable and gracious cycling and social convenors. The chef made delicious meals and offered non-meat food options for me, Mario provided excellent service in the dining room and salon. I can't thank them all enough for providing an incredible sailing and cycling adventure for us all! I hope to return for another trip with Sail Croatia and would love to see this crew again! Sandra B
- Sandra, 23/09/2025 19:18, Travelled with Family
We enjoyed our experience on this cycle cruise. The small ship of 32 passengers made for a warm friendly gathering where strangers quickly became friends. The crew was attentive and the food was great and very abundant. No one will go hungry on this cruise. A special shout out to our Sail Croatia guides DORA and LOLA. Dora was super human and led the group up the hills without breaking a sweat. Sweet Lola was the sweeper making sure everyone was safe and gave interesting history at our stops. I rate them 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this adventure to anyone who enjoys cycling. Note - I am just a recreational rider and didn’t feel overwhelmed on an e-bike. Classic cyclers will find this to be more challenging on Split to Split Soutern route. A trip that will be a lifetime memory.
- Patty, 23/09/2025 06:16, Travelled in a Couple
Lola and Dora were our guides. They complimented each other so well and made the week a lot of fun for us! Very friendly and informative guides with a good sense of humour! Cycling the islands allowed us to see so much! Loved everything about this trip. My only suggestion…perhaps a smaller group would be better .

Our cycling and Croatia storytelling leaders (Miranda and Borna) were extremely passionate, positive and personable with each of us on the ship. They had a wonderful touch to make us enjoy each day - from challenging cycling to amazing views and recommendations on what to visit in each island. They worked collaboratively with the ship crew and the crew mutually so with them and us on the ship - thanks also to Marco, the sailing crew and amazing chef and cooks in the cuisine. I would consider doing this again and recommending this to my friends.
- Christine, 22/09/2025 14:47, Travelled in a Couple
We visited some amazing places around Croatia on the sail cycle cruise! Everything was perfect! From delicious meals, great service and perfect coordination of bikes on and off the boat. The guides were truely outstanding and informative. They were flexible and accommodated to everyone’s needs. They were fun, easy going and became our good friends! Thank you again for a fabulous trip that we will always remember!

They were very personal and I love that Sasa touched my shoulder with care when he spoke to me. Such kind mannerisms.. They were really informative and fun. I’m going to go for 2027 and I want them to be my leaders!
- Sue, 22/09/2025 12:52, Travelled with Family
The meals on the ship were the best I have ever had. Every day the lunch or dinner was outstanding. The crew was great and I would give them 5 stars. However, information from the guides about possible activities in the towns often wasn’t sent to me in time to do anything with the information, We also needed more help from them than we received in arranging our transportation extremely early on the morning of departure.

La combinaison vélo, baignade, navigation était très agréable. Nos sorties à vélo ont été un pur plaisir grâce à nos guides et à nos vélos électriques.

Our Sail Croatia cycle cruise was fantastic! Every day a beautiful ride, beautiful scenery and learning and laughter with the two best guides you could ever hope for - Dora and Lola the “Dynamic Duo”! These ladies took great care of us and made us feel like a team. Our group bonded very well and Lola and Dora were a big part of that. The ship crew was also great dealing with food and bar service, moving bikes every day, Dimur constantly cleaning and caring for the ship and the captain’s steady hand. All in all, one of the best things we’ve ever done. Croatia is beautiful!
- Wendy, 22/09/2025 07:53, Travelled in a Couple
The Premier Plus ship was fabulous. Loved our large below deck cabin. The crew were amazing, food fabulous and our Biking Tour Guides, Dora and Lola, Awesome. Sail Croatia managed to create a guest list on the Princeza Diana that just ‘worked’ from Day 1. We all commented on how well we all seemed to ‘fit’. We enjoyed each other’s company from Day 1. We highly recommend this cruise - Go Premier Plus!!

Meeting family and making new friends, cycling daily and learning lots of history, beautiful islands, and lovely meals
- Kate, 16/09/2025 20:00, Travelled with Family
First off our guides, Ivica and Ilona were the best. They kept 30+ people of differing interests and physical ability engaged and enthusiastic every single day.....even the day it rained. The routes chosen provided spectacular views and gave us the opportunity to see parts of the islands that visitors to only the port towns would miss. The ship was comfortable and meals on board were very good with a some outstanding moments. Daily information on the plans and suggestions for that day took all the guesswork out of it. Very well organized with everything planned to the last detail but also flexible depending on group preferences and weather.
