Highly recommend! We had a wonderful week. The boat and staff were excellent.

- Deborah, 31/07/2026 14:52, Travelled in a Couple

The staff was attentive, fun, and friendly. Our accomodations were comfortable, clean and well stocked. The schedule was just the right amount of relaxation and touring.

- Katharine, 29/07/2026 20:07, Travelled in a Couple

We (boyfriend and I) traveled on Salve Di Mare mid July from Dubrovnik to Split. We regularly take trips/vacations and this has by far been one of our favorite. Barbara was wonderful as was the rest of the crew, especially our bartenders. Mornings were very relaxed on the boat and lunch was incredible every day. Arrived at each destination around 1-2 PM which left plenty of time to explore in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a slower paced way to visit the coast of Croatia.

I don’t have the words to clearly express how amazing the Almissa cruise was. I’ve travelled a lot and met many wonderful people, however Hana, our Tour Director, was special and will linger in my memory. It’s easy to provide information but Hana was honest about what was available to see or do and determined that everyone would have something they liked, but most of all she enjoyed every single person on board, listening to their stories about life and experiences. What a wonderful person! Sail Croatia is lucky to have her. The rest of the crew was also amazing, our Bartenders (aka waiters) were hilarious and so sweet, they genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time and it showed. The entire crew was amazing led by a Captain that knew when the winds were shifting and seas might get rough! The food was excellent, the Almissa is a beautiful sailboat. I loved my room, excellent comfortable bed. Would I go again? In a heartbeat, but I’d go because of the crew!!

- Mary, 28/07/2026 17:36, Travelled Solo

One of the most amazing weeks! The crew were incredible, the meals were delicious and the boat was so comfortable and clean. I love that we had swim spots everyday, the crew and guides were so helpful and gave so many Suggestions but you could also do as you pleased when you docked. The group chat meant we had our itinerary for the day and knew what our options were and when things were happening. A very easy way to see a lot of different islands, meet people and enjoy Croatian summer . Highly recommend if you love the ocean and want to see lots of the islands in Croatia 🇭🇷

- Katie, 27/07/2026 14:15, Travelled Solo

From the moment we arrived at the dock we were welcomed and our Vacation truly started. All bags were transported to our room. This was where we first met Hana, who took such good care of us throughout the trip. Hana introduced us to the Captain and Crew, and gave us all the information we needed to get the most our of our stay with Sail Croatia. From Hana's expert guidance throughout , to the Crew getting us situated for daily swim time and in and out of ports with ease and to the amazing drinks and meals prepared for us on the boat, we could not have been more pleased. Thank you all for all you do!

- Pamela, 27/07/2026 13:06, Travelled in a Couple

We had a wonderful time on the Contessa, Niko and the staff were wonderful. Decor was top level. The boat wasn’t full but we had a great group that had a great time together. We did ask to change rooms as it was very noisy when the boat was running.

- Anonymous, 24/07/2026 05:50, Travelled in a Couple

We absolutely loved our time with Sail Croatia. This is the best way to see and experience the Dalmatian islands. The food was incredible, the room and boat very clean and nice, and the host was gracious and super informative and helped us take advantage of the right excursions and our time on each island. The swim stops are the best! You won't regret choosing Sail Croatia!

- Lauren, 21/07/2026 12:45, Travelled in a Couple

I can't say enough about Sail Croatia and this amazing seven day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. It was so well organized, and all of the stops were beautiful and perfectly curated. It was the perfect blend of fun and adventure, with a great group of people. Highlights were the swim stop every day and of course, all of the beautiful Dalmatian islands with the Port towns and activities. The ship (Salve di Mare) and the accommodations were also fabulous. The rooms were spacious and each had their own bathroom. The meals were wonderful. The crew was so friendly and helpful and Our tour guide , with Sail Croatia (Vin) took great care of us. I couldn't think of a better way to see the Dalmatian coast than doing it this way!!!

- Andrea, 21/07/2026 10:40, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I had a blast on the trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure! We were easily able to pick when we wanted to sightsee, participate in more adventurous activities, or have a chill beach day. The boat exceeded our expectations; our room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. The waters and scenery of Croatia were stunning; the swim stops were some of the best parts of our trip. I was worried about getting on a boat with a shellfish allergy, but the kitchen staff was easily able to accommodate my allergy, as well as others on our trip (gluten free, pescatarian, etc). Additionally, our guide Vic was awesome; he was a wealth of knowledge about everything from the history and culture Croatia to where the best place to watch the World Cup would be. He presented many fun options of what to do on every island. It really felt like we had a private guide (who knew everyone) at every stop. If we could book to go again, tomorrow we would!

- Madeleine, 21/07/2026 08:01, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I and two good friends (another couple) spent a week on the Salve di Mare and it was magical. The beauty of the Dalmatian coast, the swimming off the boat, excellent food, and the excursions were perfect and unforgettable. The staff on the boat were also professional and so kind. They made everything go so smoothly and put everyone at ease. Sail Croatia was also fantastic—great communication and information armed us with clear expectations that somehow the Salve di Mare crew and beautiful Croatia vastly exceeded. Highly recommend!

- Anonymous, 20/07/2026 11:12, Travelled in a Couple

We absolutely loved this trip on the Almissa. Perfect mix of cruising, swim stops and visits to beautiful islands. Staff were great, food was delicious and we had a great group of people onboard with us. Fun side trip options if you want them. Plenty of sunloungers upstairs for everyone. Only give it 4 stars as cabins are fairly basic but you don’t spend much time in there anyway - they were perfectly fine with plenty of room to store things. So good being able to unpack for a week and enjoy the cruise.

- Cheryl, 20/07/2026 09:02, Travelled in a Couple

I traveled with my partner on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise and we could not have asked for a better experience! Such an amazing way to see the Croatian coastline with a variety of excursions available. Our crew and tour manager were so accommodating and personable! The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. I could not recommend Sail Croatia enough!

- Brittany, 14/07/2026 21:24, Travelled in a Couple

This trip was excellent! Very organised and a great way to relax. Hana, Captain Josip and the crew were amazing and super friendly

- Anonymous, 14/07/2026 05:45, Travelled in a Couple

From the start the crew were extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was immaculate and stylish, the cabin was spacious and comfortable. We were not disturbed by noise from the boat or other people. Nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary worked really well, there was enough down time to relax, sunbathe and swim. The excursions added a fun dynamic to the trip and were mostly fun and exciting. We did cycling, kayaking, wine tasting, zip lining (the best!!) plus plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian towns which I hadn’t expected to be so charming. There was plenty of choice of restaurants and bars and our crew gave us recommendations on where to eat , even making reservations for us. The food on board was delicious, make sure you advise about dietary restrictions at the time if booking so that they can plan ahead for you. We were extremely lucky that the people on board were fantastic. We all bonded really well which made the experience very special…… a cruise family!!

- Jan, 13/07/2026 06:02, Travelled in a Couple

We sailed on the Contessa. The ship and crew were amazing. Our room was comfortable and more spacious than we had anticipated. The entire ship was spotless. The breakfast buffet always provided a nice variety of choices. The lunch menu changed each day and every meal was delicious. Tour manager Nickos gave us great information each day and worked hard to make sure all guests enjoyed each port. Bartenders Martin and Nino kept us well hydrated and were a lot of fun. We could not have asked for a better experience.

- Trish, 10/07/2026 11:50, Travelled in a Couple

Great small boat experience with swimming stops, and small town adventures lead by a wonderful leader Klara. She was super helpful and guided us to lots of fun. Really liked eating out at restaurants almost every evening. Really liked the food onboard and especially appreciated getting Gluten Free food which I needed. The staff onboard was exceptional. Highly reccommend.

- Susan, 09/07/2026 18:02, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I chose sail croatia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed warmly by Sanja our cruise director. From the minute we walked on board we felt like a family. The crew was so welcoming and the boat was beautiful. Sanja was most pleasant and attentive throughout the cruise. Vlad our chef for the week outdone himself. The food was outstanding. The bartenders were also so pleasant. Our group bonded like a family and spent multiple days and nights together. The pace of the cruise was perfect. The choice of islands and suggested activities were amazing. By the end of the week we were so sad to leave our sail Croatia family. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to relax, is up for an adventure and wants to meet new friends. Also, request Sanja as your sail Croatia guide. Thanks, Sarah and Dan Link

- sarah, 07/07/2026 15:42, Travelled in a Couple

My husband & I had the best time onboard The Esperanza cruising from Dubrovnik to Split. We were lucky to have a small group of 14 onboard and we formed friendships quickly. The crew & tour leader, Sanja, went above & beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend this trip.

- kate, 07/07/2026 10:37, Travelled in a Couple

Oh Croatia - what a BEAUTIFUL country you are!! We sailed on the Almissa from Dubrovnik to Split abd then took a bus back down to Dubrovnik for our return flight home. You really couldn’t have asked for more! Food was amazing, service was outstanding and the scenery was fairytale like!!!

- Kathy, 06/07/2026 21:14, Travelled in a Couple

Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Exceeded expectations on every level.

- Cathy, 06/07/2026 06:08, Travelled in a Couple

Croatia is so beautiful and this explorer cruise was well set up to help us experience it. Klara our host was a local who kept us well informed and made all our excursions work like clockwork. The crew was great and The Contessa was newly renovated. Great experience all round.

- Pamela, 05/07/2026 23:47, Travelled in a Couple

I had the best week on my Explorer cruise, the Almissa! I am a 28 y/o female and was traveling solo, and I was worried about having other solo travelers and people my age there, but it worked out perfectly! There was a large age range on the boat (late 20s to early 70s), but everyone was so fun and we all got along so well. We felt like family by the end! I was a bit nervous to book because there weren't many photos online of the boat and the agents I chatted with and emailed beforehand were very unhelpful. However, once I arrived, the crew was awesome and the boat was beautiful. The cabins were way bigger than expected and the common areas had been renovated! Breakfast was mediocre, but the lunches were overall impressive. I am gluten intolerant and I was incredibly impressed by how well they handled this and adapted meals for me. I will say, drinks on board are very expensive (€5 for a coke and €15 for a cocktail), but they were good. I've already recommended this to my friends!

We’ve just come back from our second sailing adventure around the stunning Croatian Islands on the Salve Di Mare, and it truly exceeded our expectations; everything was perfect. We had an incredible time, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones along the way. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew for making our journey so happy and unforgettable. Their service, dedication, and genuine sense of fun throughout the trip were absolutely top-notch! A huge shout out to; Sasa, Marko, Vlaho, Bogan, Zadojko, Julia, Captain Frane, Fadil & Rici, you are all amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend this sailing voyage to everyone. We’ve returned home feeling relaxed and filled with many happy memories that we will cherish forever. We boarded the boat as strangers and disembarked as friends… THANK YOU!

- Jane, 24/06/2026 15:26, Travelled in a Couple

Had a fantastic time on Sail Croatia. Staff were excellent and ensured we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Food was great. It was especially enjoyable to have the time to enjoy the local sights and flavours along the way.

- David, 23/06/2026 07:22, Travelled in a Couple

Loved our trip on Sail Croatia. Great boat. Plenty of space. Above deck rooms were a really good size. Good size bathrooms. The crew were awesome. Loved all the meals without exception. Sail Croatia….would be good to have more information about embarking and disembarking locations before the trip so we could book accommodation accordingly.

- Anonymous, 22/06/2026 16:38, Travelled in a Couple

We just returned from the Sail Croatia Explorer trip and cannot say enough about the incredible experience. The boat is new and the cabins were roomy. From the very first day, our cruise director Borna went above and beyond. He and the crew ensured every meal accommodated my gluten allergy. He shared fascinating local history and tips at every port we visited during our morning briefings. The excursions offered were fabulous and well coordinated. We had plenty of time to explore in every port. The highlight of our trip was celebrating our anniversary on one of the islands. Borna took the extra care to call ahead and arrange a romantic table with a breathtaking view of the sea, a gesture that made the evening truly unforgettable. The passengers from all over the world are now lifetime friends. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone, without hesitation. We are spoiled forever and could never take a big cruise ship again. Five stars, easily!

- Terri, 22/06/2026 15:17, Travelled in a Couple

What an incredible week! The Salve Di Mare was fantastic, the crew were amazing, and the islands were simply stunning. We’ve made memories to last a lifetime and will be recommending this trip to everyone. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. ❤️🇭🇷

- Rachael, 22/06/2026 11:55, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent, we loved every town stop and Sanjay and the entire crew were helpful, friendly and fun. My only comment would be that I was not expecting the swim stops to be as long as they were (was hoping for more time to explore the ports), but all over a very enjoyable week with a wonderful sail Croatia team

- Deborah, 22/06/2026 06:50, Travelled in a Couple

Boat was so nice, food was amazing & the staff were great very attentive but also fun this trip exceeded our expectations highly recommend!

- Shelley, 22/06/2026 06:22, Travelled in a Couple

Our crew was fabulous. Lauren ( our tour guide) as well as Cesar and Kafka ( pardoned any misspellings) went above and beyond to make the experience so incredibly joyful and memorable. They showed us the best of Croatia and we are sharing our wonderful experience with all of our friends and family

- Patti, 16/06/2026 13:28, Travelled in a Couple

It was me and my husband’s first cruise. We had a great experience that exceeded our expectations. The boat has a modern decoration, the room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The crew were very professional and friendly. Lola “the cruise director” organized all the excursions and gave us many tips about the best restaurants, bars, and even ATMs, she’s very professional and sweet. I highly recommend Contessa cruise, a 5 stars experience.

- Ana, 15/06/2026 11:29, Travelled in a Couple

Sail week was one of the best things I’ve ever done for vacation. The energy of the crew, the people onboard, the fresh food prepared for us, the beautiful places we stopped and all the activities allowed for a perfect balance of rejuvenation and adventure. Shoutout to Mario and all the crew on Almyssa for blowing my expectations for this week out of the waters!

- Anonymous, 12/06/2026 01:05, Travelled Solo

We booked the Explorer cruise aboard the Contessa with Sail Croatia expecting nothing more than a floating hotel and an efficient way to explore Croatia's islands. What we didn't expect was to love it so much! We chose the Contessa because of its recent retrofit. The ship felt brand new: modern, elegant, and relaxed. Our cabin was even larger than many cruise ship rooms, with a spacious walk-in shower. Having read so many bad reviews about some of the older vessels, we were thrilled with our choice, as the Contessa truly stood out. The food was consistently good. Our bartenders Martin and Nino quickly learned everyone's preferences and delivered incredible service with warmth, personality, and remarkable attention to detail. Anita, our Cruise Director, kept everything running seamlessly from start to finish. From daily itineraries and restaurant recommendations to helping guests make the most of each island, she never missed a beat. She knows how to create an unforgettable experience.

- Caroline, 09/06/2026 12:38, Travelled in a Couple

Really enjoyable! Staff were super warm, friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely week 😊

We loved our week seeing the islands of Croatia BBB and meeting new friends from around the world!

- Diana, 08/06/2026 08:33, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing! Contessa boat is beautiful. Lower deck cabins are spacious and the ensuite bathrooms are gorgeous. Explorer cruise provided a great mix of activity, fun and relaxation. We enjoyed bike riding, zip lining and kayaking as well as relaxing in the roof top spa and drinking cocktails! Croatia did not disappoint and we couldn’t fault the Sail Croatia staff. Great friendships and memories formed. Highly recommend!

- Melinda, 08/06/2026 01:19, Travelled in a Couple

What an incredible sailing experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely fantastic. The tour manager Anita was outstanding,professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure every guest had the best time possible. Her warm hospitality set the tone for the entire trip. The crew members were equally impressive. Friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile, they made everyone on board feel right at home. and always on hand whenever you needed them. The ship itself was in excellent condition; spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and a truly comfortable vessel to sail on. Everything about the experience exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend this sailing trip to anyone looking for a memorable time on the water.

The itinerary on our 7 day Tempera cruise was great, our cabin was fantastic but unfortunately the whole experience was severly let down by incredibly poor food and service staff. Definitely not worth the money we paid for the trip.

- Anonymous, 02/06/2026 07:48, Travelled in a Couple

Try to get pics of room prior to booking-I think we had the worst room on the boat. Room 2 on Tempera has a large intrusion in the room from the next door curved staircase requiring you to hunch over on far side of bed when getting in or out. That closet opens up ONTO the bed and is almost unuseable. The tiny curved table in the room slants down so things slide off of it. The bed was comfortable and the room size decent. The breakfast was good- sausage, eggs, fruit, pastries…. but I (and many other judging by appearances) found the lunches inedible. greasy rice stuffed pepper served with cold mashed potatoes, a bowl of buttered noidles served with a small thin slice of overcooked meat served with more noodles, Very carb heavy and mostly served warm not hot. Soups and desserts were good.

- Trish, 02/06/2026 05:10, Travelled in a Couple

This trip is without a doubt the most relaxing Europe trip we’ve been on. The way Sail Croatia had this trip planned you really don’t worry about anything; food, activities and transportation. Just how much sun time you want to get. Marin, our guide on board, made every decision feel easy! The transparency and care was so evident in the way he did his job. He was always so helpful and fun to talk with. The crew on board Nieksha and Dom were energetic and made us feel well taken care of. My husband and I made so many friends on board, saying goodbye at the end of the week was difficult. It felt similar to when you leave summer camp as a kid. We hope to cross paths again with everyone some day. I would 100% recommend this experience to my friends and family. Oh and do the zip lining if you get the chance! It was breathtaking!

- Penna, 29/05/2026 00:00, Travelled in a Couple

Nikos and the Salve de Mare crew did a great job to make us feel welcome. They provided good communication and service throughout the trip.

It’s an amazing week, so relax and enjoyable. Loving the swim spots daily nothing better than that. Nikos is very helpful and responsive guide. The crew members are friendly and lovely. Really glad I have chose the Salve Di Mare, unique character on itself and met a whole group of people who very much able to enjoy and create the whole amazing week.

After doing much research my husband and I chose Sail Croatia and the lovely vessel Contessa. The boat is beautiful and cabins are very well appointed and comfortable. The crew was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough about them. They are kind and beautiful people. Calum, Tino, Petra, Charlie, Nenad, Bane, Marko, Joy, Zeljana, and Captain Slavko were wonderful. Whatever excursion you were interested in, Calum would plan for you. He was always there to help you. He took us to fun and interesting wineries! This was definitely a trip I would recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia for having the best boat and crew!

- Chandra, 25/05/2026 13:13, Travelled in a Couple

An exceptional week onboard the Salve Di Mare cruising from Split to Debrovnik. Wonderful staff, especially Nikos our Tour Manager. Food was outstanding - thanks to the chefs! Book it - you won’t regret it!

- Samantha, 25/05/2026 10:54, Travelled in a Couple

Had a fantastic week aboard the Almissa from start to finish. We had the best crew, the best swim stops, port visits and fellow passengers. It was everything we expected and more. The ship was like one big family for the entire week. We have already recommended it to others.

- Nikki, 25/05/2026 10:32, Travelled in a Couple

Absolutely fantastic! The fellow passengers and crew made this trip! The food was fantastic and the swim stops were my favorite thing to do onboard. Croatia is beautiful and the itinerary was wonderful!
