Brilliant

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

Fabulous week

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!!

Amazing guides, crew, and experience

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!

Wow!

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.

Great Trip!

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.

Sail Croatia Sail & Cycle Tour

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.

Best trip!

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

Beautiful Croatia by bike and boat Dubrovnik to Split

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.

Sail Croatia bike tour

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!!

Absolutely wonderful

- Kate, 08/10/2025 23:40, Travelled in a Couple

Best vacation

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

Great Guides, beautiful country

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

Fantastic Experience

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!

- Ginger, 30/09/2025 19:18, Travelled in a Couple

Exceeded all our expectations

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

Fantastc active holiday!

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

Phenomenal trip

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

Fabulous holiday

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.

EOS Sept 17-24th

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

Great trip

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

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

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

Wonderful Active Vacation

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 .

Sail Croatia Sep. 2025

Our guides & beautiful islands on our bike & sail.

- Anonymous, 22/09/2025 19:39, Travelled in a Couple

Friendly Beautiful Cycling Adventure

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

Best chef ever

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.

- Phyllis , 22/09/2025 11:17, Travelled in a Couple

Une semaine inoubliable !

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.

- Carole, 22/09/2025 11:05, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful Trip

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

Bike and Boat

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!!

- Kathy , 22/09/2025 06:28, Travelled in a Couple

Great experience

Had a great week with Sail Croatia on the sail and cycle from Dubrovnik to Split. The boat crew were absolutely fantastic, food was amazing and plentiful. Tour managers were knowledgeable about Croatian history and managed our group very well. Would highly recommend this trip

- Nicci, 22/09/2025 04:21, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent

We have just finished our Ride Croatia . Our guides Toni and Andro were amazing . So helpful and informative . The bikes were very easy to use and in excellent condition . We loved stopping at each port and exploring the islands. The boat was well maintained and our rooms very comfortable too . Absolutely loved it .

- Fiona, 19/09/2025 04:35, Travelled in a Couple

Just Amazing

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.

- Wendy, 16/09/2025 05:24, Travelled in a Couple

Perfect way to see Croatia!

The combination of a cruise and e-bike trip was perfect for us

- Pauline , 16/09/2025 04:38, Travelled in a Couple

You need to book this trip!

Our guides were Josko & Ana, what a team! We had a couple of windy days & one wet day. The communication was quick & kept us updated with options for our bike trips. The banter was fun & their knowledge of history/ old stories kept us intrigued. They were very giving with their time & expertise, & we felt they went above & beyond to make sure we had plenty of information to plan & enjoy our onshore time. The boat crew were great, always available & worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. The meals… no one went hungry with our chef! If you’re on the fence about this tour, you will not be disappointed!

- Leigh, 15/09/2025 18:56, Travelled in a Couple

Not many things in life I would press repeat on....but this is one !!

We were blessed to have a wonderful and friendly crew and 2 guides Ilona and Ivica who kept us safe and informed whilst having great fun on the bikes! A group of like minded people on the boat just added to the experience! What a great opportunity to explore such picturesque places combined with biking, swimming and a little walking and sometimes dancing in the evening (you needed to exercise off the amazing meals prepared by our skilful chef). A fun week which ended a little to soon! Thanks to crew and fellow travellers for an amazing experience!

- Robyn, 15/09/2025 14:21, Travelled in a Couple

brilliant trip

We had been before, the trip was as good as before but the food was so much better. The boat was better too and we had upstairs cabins that we liked better.

- TESSA, 15/09/2025 13:11, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing trip

We did the sail and cycle in September and it was great. The crew were great, our guides were hands down amazing, the food on board was terrific. We used hybrid classic bikes and it was hard work on some of the hills, so just be warned if you are considering classic bikes. The terrain was much different than we expected. We felt very accomplished by the end of our adventure.

- Elizabeth, 15/09/2025 10:02, Travelled in a Couple

Great Experience

Variety of bike routes and onboard food that reflected the culture of Croatia

Dubrovnik to Split

We always knew what to expect. Our crew helped us w planning our outings and biking adventures. Lovely time

- Sharyn, 15/09/2025 07:06, Travelled in a Couple

So Much Fun!

Our tour guides were Ana and Marin. Our guides were awesome – they knew so much of the history of Croatia and shared it freely. The food on the boat was OK. The breakfast buffet was really good; lunch was hit and miss but mostly good. Some people found the lunches not quite enough food if you are a big eater. Drink prices on the boat were really reasonable. Would ask that you recommend the e-bike option for everyone as there was a lot of waiting for the manual bikes as some of the hills on the islands are no joke. A water bottle holder would be nice on the bikes. Would recommend the cycling jersey be included in the package. It would be great advertising for you. To charge $70 for a cycling jersey after you have spent over $2000 USD seemed excessive. Loved that our captain Martin was very safety conscious even if it meant we didn’t always get a swim stop as the seas were too rough. Our bike guide Marin also was very safety conscious which was great to ensure we completed

Everything I had Envisioned

Just returned from our fantastic cycle cruise with Sail Croatia with husband. It was glorious and just what I had envisioned: fun cycling with e-bikes through lovely scenery along the coast and on inland roads (only a few intrepid souls conquered the prolonged and steep hills and switchbacks on regular bikes); sunny and warm days; great food and beverages; comfortable accommodations on the boat; swimming in lovely clear or aquamarine water; and warm interactions with our fellow cyclists and amazing staff. I am particularly grateful to Sanja and Miranda for the care they showed us as my husband’s cycling experience was limited. Sanja’s daily storytime about history and culture, and Miranda’s care when my bike had a mechanical problem were truly appreciated. I also loved their attention to detail during our daily briefings. Finally, with Miranda leading and Sanja sweeping, it was liberating to be able to stop to take photos without holding the group up. Truly a fantastic vacation!

Andre and Ilona

Andre and Ilona went above and beyond all expectations for quality of service , dedication and punctuality. Their passion was shared with everyone on the tour. They should be offered extended and improved contracts immediately................or you are not doing your job!

- Don, 09/09/2025 13:56, Travelled in a Couple

Sail/cycle Croatia

The tour guides, the islands, the water, the food! I could go on and on! Just perfect!

- Jill, 09/09/2025 08:21, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic Trip! Ready to Go Again.

Visiting the small island coves and gorgeous harbors from the comfort of our boat was the experience of a lifetime. We loved the biking and the swimming. Our group became fast friends and we loved our guides. The food was healthy and delicious . Hats off to Miranda and Sanya for leading us to one beautiful place after another and for sharing all of your local knowledge. You were always cheerful and patient. We loved our trip! .

Princesa Diana 8/30-9/5

Most wonderful time on this gorgeous boat! The food was so healthy and delicious. The boat staff was so attentive especially Ljbisha! Miranda and Sonia were the best guides - not only on the bike "roads" but about the beautiful country of Croatia. Both very good communicators with a serving attitude. We'd sail with you again! The E-bikes were wonderful too. Thanks for a most memorable vacation. Patty & Matt Edling

- Patty, 08/09/2025 23:57, Travelled in a Couple

Great trip

We loved our experience biking daily and enjoying the town sight later. The entire crew was great, food was excellent. Andre and Andro were awesome guides and going above and beyond to have a safe biking experience but also to see amazing towns! Would definitely recommend!

- Erin, 07/09/2025 14:26, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing sail Croatia

We recently had the best week of our 6 week trip from Australia with Sail Croatia. Miranda and llona were so lovely, personable and fun. The tour catered to every level of ability and the e-bikes were excellent quality. I would do this again in a heartbeat- A great way to see beautiful Croatia. Oh and the food George and the lovely crew created and served was something to look forward to each day.

- Kerryn , 06/09/2025 07:30, Travelled in a Couple

Fabulous

Great diversity of cycle routes and port stops. Guides were great! Boat crew also great. Meals lovely but would have preferred dinners rather than lunch as I wanted a swim, shower and nap after my cycle rather than having to sit for two hours in a stuffy fining room in the middle of the day. The bed was so hard that I longed for morning to come.
