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

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.

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!

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!

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!
- Olivia, 22/07/2025 17:16, Travelled with Friend/s
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.

Our week on board, the tempura ship was amazing. The crew went above and beyond to make our week enjoyable and comfortable. They were always available to help with any questions or advice that was needed. We would definitely book another Sail Croatia cruise again.
- Venessa, 22/07/2025 03:32, Travelled in a Couple
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

Daily meals were fantastic, swim stops beautiful, scenery was amazing. Tours were good, but costly so decide what is most important to you. Crew and guides went beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time.
- H, 21/07/2025 08:19, Travelled in a Couple
There was really nothing to fault. The itinerary was great the optional tours were a good selection (they are optional extras as not run by Sail Croatia but suggested). The food (breakfast, lunch and Captains Dinner) was amazing the only fault was sometimes too much food and the bacon and eggs were cold but tasty. Comfy beds Clean cabins. Bar prices were reasonable. Swim stops were fun and relaxing. Staff were all friendly and efficient. And the views were superb. The best week ever. My only complaint is I will never understand the "Optional" compulsory tipping, just include it in the price and pay the staff more.
- Jodi , 21/07/2025 03:51, Travelled in a Couple
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!!

From Day one we knew this was going to be a great experience. Very welcoming staff, comfortable and roomy cabin. And the food was amazing. Our chief Dino was so helpful and gave us great advice on excursions. Out swim stops in the beautiful blue Adriatic were amazing. We have made life long friends and would highly recommend the Salve Di Mare.

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

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!

This was my first time to Croatia, and I am so glad that we used Sail Croatia. It was a great way to see some of the islands, and the explorer cruise was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxing. The crew were so lovely and helpful, and our tour manager Dino was responsive and offered great advice. I would recommend this cruise!
- Gill, 14/07/2025 09:52, Travelled in a Couple
My partner and I spent 8 days cruising around Croatia on the Tempera boat, the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive (and excellent chefs) and our trip manager Cal really made sure we had the best possible holiday. If you’re unsure whether to do a sail Croatia or not - let this be your sign to DO IT!
- Erica, 10/07/2025 14:58, Travelled in a Couple
We loved so much about the week and are so thankful that we were able to participate on the Explorer Cruise. The ship, Almissa, crew, and tour manager, Dino, made sure that the passengers could experience the beauty of Croatia. The swim stops in the morning were some of our favorite moments of the day - peaceful, turquoise glimmering water! Having the option to do or not do excursions or to take recommendations make the trip customizable for each couple, family or group on board. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to have an experience like this!
- Elizabeth , 09/07/2025 14:28, Travelled in a Couple

I was invited to join a 20th anniversary celebration cruise on the Salve di mare for my first cruise experience. First off, the crew was amazing! Klara as our cruise director took care of all the details in such a warm, funny and efficient way — I loved her history lessons and honest recommendations for excursions, dining and shopping. Our waiters/bartenders Marco and Vlagho worked so hard and were such fun! The boat was luxurious and spotless, and the variety of common areas (dining area, covered lounge, forward deck and sun deck )meant you never felt crowded. The food was delicious . I loved the itinerary and ship’s size! We had a great full breakfast, swam off the boat in the morning, sailed to our island stop, had scrumptious 3- course lunches, and then on our own. Because there were only 37 of us, we easily made new friends with whom the we would go off for excursions and dinner. Perfect trip for a non-planner!

We had an absolute blast. We did the tour for my husbands 30th with some friends and the crew even baked a cake one day for him. The crew and Calum our guide were really great, always so helpful, organised, friendly and engaging. The cruise is a perfect blend of explore, swim, resting and reading and Ill recommend it to anyone. We were also privileged with great group of other travellers and made loads of new friends :) Thanks to Sail Croatia and Calum and his crew for a memorable holiday!

The staff of our boat, including Dino as the key organizer and communicator, created a unique, fun-filled, and memorable trip!

I can’t recommend Callum enough – he made our Sail Croatia experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we stepped on board, he created such a fun, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere. His energy was infectious, and he always went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having the time of their lives. Whether it was helping us discover hidden swim spots, hyping us up for the night ahead, or making sure we were all safe and comfortable, Callum was the ultimate host. Thank you for the memories – already planning the next trip!
