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

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

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

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

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

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

Just completed 7 day Split to Dubrovnik on the Tempera. Everything aboard was thoughtfully arranged and to a high standard. Our cabin was spacious enough for our needs, had strong water pressure in shower, and beds were comfy. Highlights were the fun and lighthearted fellow passengers from all over the world - we ate, drank, and laughed all week. And our consummate professional tour guide Dino - he had us completely dialed in on each island. Excellent recommendations, clear communications, and a true Croaia expert. He was a huge asset to our trip. Entire crew was professional and hardworking, especially server Maks who kept everyone fed and watered. Would not hesitate to book another Sail Croatia journey!

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
I enjoyed the swim stops. My room was nice, although the last full day the tanks definitely needed to be changed, as I had a room below. It would have been nice to have the names on the back of the bikes. Most people came in groups, We did not come in a group, so, we had to keep asking people their names. The Josic was very professional. I was not sure what Calam's responsibilities. The bar was very expensive for the extremely short wine pour. It was discussed by most passengers on the boat. Lunch was heavy. Maybe better to have dinner? This would allow people to relax a bit after the ride. The last two rides were short. Often I was not quite sure where we were going to stop. It did not follow the brochure. Captain said we needed to stop in different places.

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

Couldn't recommend the sail enough! Francesa was an absolute legend and she made the trip so memorable - best week ever!
- Jessie Howlett, 14/06/2025 07:44, Travelled in a Couple
We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.
- Anne, 13/06/2025 19:51, Travelled with Family
I enjoyed the daily activity and tha ability to immerse yourself in the Croatian culture. The people are very friendly and accommodating.
- JOANNE , 13/06/2025 12:04, Travelled with Family
This was hands down the best vacation ever! We met so many great people, the crew was awesome and Croatia is beautiful. If you have the opportunity to do a Sail Croatia cruise don't pass it up. There were so many things we still want to see & do....we will be back!
- Mary Jo, 12/06/2025 11:45, Travelled in a Couple

My family and I had an incredible week on our private sailing tour from Split to Dubrovnik. The communication was excellent every step of the way and we would hands down do it again! We feel extra lucky to have been paired with our skipper, Linda. She worked with us to create an ideal itinerary based on our goals for the trip and she had excellent recommendations every stop of the way. We loved exploring the beautiful islands of Croatia this way. Would highly recommend this unique experience for your next vacation!
- Sophia, 12/06/2025 00:34, Travelled with Family
Sail Croatia made our week of cycling and sailing the Croatian islands amazing. The staff were great and our fellow travellers were all very easy to travel with fun to get to know . They were organized and the food was terrific. I was worried I wasn’t fit enough but I did well on the bikes.
- Files , 11/06/2025 19:06, Travelled with Family
My entire family loved cruising from one beautiful Croatian island to the next and touring around each stop on e-bikes. We got to see much more of each island than if we had hiked or just stayed overnight in each port town/city. The crew & guides are lovely people: professional, friendly & kind. Matilda & Sardan are also skilled bike riders who were patient & accommodated all the varied skill levels. They were knowledgable about each stop, offering wonderful suggestions for dining & site-seeing while on our own to explore. We met wonderful new friends and enjoyed traveling with every single person on our boat. This trip was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish - I can't recommend it enough! My family and I are still stunned at the many incredible views we biked to and the fun of having an active vacation and meeting great people while enjoying wonderful food and wine and exploring so much of beautiful Croatia. We are SO glad we went on this unforgettable adventure!

Brilliant trip in Croatia with Cruise and great cycling on the island hills and coast and awesome swim stops in crystal clear waters. The guides Ivan and Lucija were top rate with great cycling guidance and history and information on where we were. and we’re really friendly. The food was so tasty from chef Ivana (top class), and Andre was always on form and looking after us with our post ride refreshments. Christiana kept the boat management smooth and friendly, and Captain, and Sailors Randy and Ivan were super helpful. Thanks all for one of our great trips, and to all our new pals we shared it with. Tim and Paula.
- Tim and Paula, 11/06/2025 13:08, Travelled in a Couple
The staff on board the Afrodita made our holiday so special. Lucija and Evan our guides were fantastic! They went above and beyond to make our all our time fun and enjoyable! They were professional and yet authentically friendly. We were so lucky. The crew, magnificent! Andre was a doll and helpful and attentive and our chef ….like Wow! All crew was friendly kind and worked hard to make us comfortable and safe. I loved the itinerary and our daily cycle time and challenges. I wish i had an upper cabin but it wasn’t available as i booked later than others. The e bikes were great. Thank you to all
- Carol, 11/06/2025 10:55, Travelled in a Couple
We had a fabulous trip made special by being on the superb immaculate Katarina with an excellent crew. Our host from Sail Croatia was Kara who was outstanding at her job and made everyday a fun and enjoyable experience!
- Nicola, 11/06/2025 10:15, Travelled with Family
Our representative Ivicia, he was the best and made the whole experience amazing. You felt safe with him, he was very well organised and informative about the activities and local insights. He fit in as a part of the guests and very comfortable and fun to be around, highly recommend him, he deserves a promotion, best guide on all the sail Croatia cruisers we seen and met. Thanks for everything ‘Johnny’!

We had a fantastic time on Sail Croatia, Queen Jelena. The ship itself was spacious and comfortable with plenty of outdoor seating. Our cruise guide Ioana was very dedicated to ensuring all the passengers had an amazing time. The food was delicious and plentiful. We loved the swim stops and the Captains Dinner was a great night. We only had 25 passengers on our cruise and our cabin below deck was comfortable and enough space for our 7 night journey.
- Cathryn, 11/06/2025 07:35, Travelled in a Couple
The whole e-bike sailing trip was a hit from the moment we arrived. The welcome from the crew, to the bar & kitchen crew and most importantly our guides for our ride each day. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented! Our guides were so helpful and their communication about our rides each day were clear and conscientious of making sure everyone understood were we would stop for a break or photo opportunity. Safety was key! It was a treat to have some challenging times on the bikes as we got to see some incredible views and scenery.. If you enjoy a bit of fitness with history and fun, I highly recommend this trip! So great full to all the staff and we also had amazing weather and our group was the best!
- Loretta, 11/06/2025 06:02, Travelled in a Couple
I was worried to try a cruise as i get car sick but it was awesome! There was no problem as we were slow and smooth sailing! So happy for the Elegance Cruise. We loved every day! The rooms were so clean and comfortable, meals were excellent and we had a fabulous tour Manager Klara and an awesome bunch of passengers to travel with, we came as strangers and left as friends! Croatia was so beautiful and we loved every stop! Weather was perfect! Captains dinner was great with live singers/guitar players! Highly recommend!! We swam everyday and enjoyed our trip so much!
- Angela, 11/06/2025 05:39, Travelled in a Couple
Five stars to all the crew and guides in our tour. The friendliness and efficiency to make sure we were all taken care of in every need was amazing! The food on the boat was lovely. Learned a new favorite beer( Radler). First time e-bike and I was very glad. All help rendered as needed , from giving daily overview of day to end if day path. Captains dinner was amazing! I loved this format of sailing and biking as we saw sights that you would never see in a traditional bus tour. Thanks to all who made this possible!
- Judy, 10/06/2025 08:43, Travelled in a Couple
Our week spent on Sail Croatia - Almissa boat - was a wonderful experience. The boat itself was very adequate with plenty of room in the cabin, lounge areas dining areas. Our tour guide Anita was so lovely and friendly and had all the fabulous activities so well planned and organised and provided so many options outside the organised tours. Nothing was ever a problem for her. We were able to visit the blue cave only because of the boats captain and Anita knowing the weather patterns and logistics to reach that area. The cave was one of the the highlights of the tour for me. Good aboard was great and overall we couldn’t ask for more, May 2025
- Catharina, 10/06/2025 08:34, Travelled in a Couple
The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.
- Carrie, 09/06/2025 17:31, Travelled with Family
We had a wonderful week on the Princeza Diana with our guides Calum and Josip. As guides, their styles were very different, but the combination complimented our group nicely. This vacation was the best way for us to enjoy all Croatia has to offer…. So much beautiful scenery, flowers, and history. Cruising along on our e-bikes was a sensory over-load in the best possible way. The worse thing about the week was that it had to end.

We had a great experience with Sail Croatia and would absolutely recommend to our friends and family! Ivana, our tour manager, was so helpful during our cruise! She offered great advice, answered all our questions and gave a great overview each day of what we could expect. I really appreciated all of the communication throughout our cruise week. The crew on the Tempera was great as well! Our lunches on board were fantastic as well. We were definitely well fed by the chefs.
- Lindsey, 09/06/2025 13:20, Travelled in a Couple
Best way to see and experience Croatia with The Sail Croatia team.From the informative online booking till the actual trip. Tempera was our boat chose with amazing helpfull staff on board. The rooms are very well planned and the bathrooms excellent taking into account the size of the actual boat. The itinerary was fantastic ! Saw so much of the smaller and bigger islands . Our tour guide Ivana Mateja was an absolute gem. She presented everyday a full powerpoint presentation of the daily schedule as well as being very informative about every stop we had. Nothing was too much trouble for her . The food on board exceeded our expectations everyday . Only negative would be the price of drinks . I would recommend this trip and team to anybody considering visiting Croatia

Sail Croatia was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. The staff were absolutely incredible- so loving, kind, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You could tell they really cared about our experience, and that made all the difference. The boat itself was immaculate. Everything was kept so neat and tidy throughout the entire week, and it truly felt like a floating home. But what made the trip even more special were the people. I met some of the most amazing souls – people who started as strangers and became true friends, and even family. There's a unique bond that forms when you’re sailing, sharing meals, and cycling long miles. I can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for the memories, the friendships, and the magic. I’ll treasure this forever!

We loved our week onboard the Mali Ante with the welcoming crew! It was a good balance of riding and relaxing! Everything was great - the food was delicious, the bike rides were awesome and the facilities on the boat were clean snd comfortable . Thank you !

The Guides were incredible! They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We really appreciated having a pannier to store all our things so we didn’t have to use a backpack. The staff on the boat were accommodating, the food was delicious and the scenery was spectacular!!!
- Darlene, 09/06/2025 11:01, Travelled in a Couple
Die Crew war super und die täglichen Schwimmstops einfach wundervoll. Die kleinen Hafenstädte so wunderschön. Eine wirklich wunderbare Erfahrung. Es lohnt sich! Die Kabinen waren groß genug und auch eine Dusche und Toilette haben nicht gefehlt. Wann immer man Fragen hatte oder etwas brauchte konnte man sich an die Crew wenden. Es gibt viele Angebote, die man wahrnehmen kann, wenn man angelegt hat, man ist nixht verpflichtet. Alles kann, nichts muss. :) Die Natur und Schönheit des Wassers sind wirklich einzigartig. Ich hätte gerne noch eine Woche dran gehangen ... ;) Danke an Ceasar, Kristina, Barbara, Josep und seine Crew und die Mitfahrer für diese Erfahrung!!!

Our bike leaders Matilda and Srjon were amazing. The group of people ( smaller group). We became like a family on board. Keno was so pleasant serving, a real gentleman. The kitchen cooks so cheerful and accommodating. The captain of course got us safely to all our stops and then of course Mr muscles, the deck hand, hoisted all those bikes up and down. Always pleasant. Great crew. Bonnie
- Bonnie, 09/06/2025 07:06, Travelled in a Couple
Ivana our Tour Manager / Guide gave us very informative information about each port prior to our stopover . It was always honest and helpful. She was accommodating for any extra assistance and was delightful to have as our host . The chefs provided amazing food every day, 3 courses for lunch and dinner ( Captains dinner evening 4!) Staff on board were there ready to help with a happy and polite demeanour. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to my family and friends for a memorable experience of some beautiful islands to explore and experience.🇭🇷❣️
- Janet , 09/06/2025 06:31, Travelled in a Couple
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
Comfortable cabin below deck! Quiet, comfortable bed and bigger than expected! Amazing friendly staff and captain. We had 20 guests which made it easy to get to know everyone. Andro was our bike leader and did a great job keeping us all together. Matilda was so good at helping with information on dining and site seeing on each island! The trip was well organized and so much fun. The only suggestion is everyone should rent bikes as we ended up waiting for hybrids too often! Bike riders can turn assist down or off if they want more workout...or have 2 group leaders. The food on board was plentiful and very good. I will recommend to anyone wanting to bike the beautiful islands!@

We did so much research on the company, vessel and cruise as we had never done one of these before and honestly we had the trip of a lifetime. Salve di Mare was such a great boat and the explorer cruise had a really great mix of people and good split of relaxing/activities. Honestly what made our trip the most special were the other people we met on the cruise and the incredible staff (shout out to Vicko)
- Laura, 06/06/2025 05:50, Travelled in a Couple
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!

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!

We had a great time on and off the boat. We traveled as a couple with a set of friends. The hikes were good and guided very well by Illona and Martin. The only thing I would recommend to change is the fixed lunch as we could have enjoyed a few longer hikes without having to rush back for lunch on the boat. It was especially the case with the hike from Makarska after an hours bus drive to the national park. That day we also had the captains dinner on the boat so we could have had lunch on the mountain in the national park. All in all we had a wonderful holiday!
