We loved our cruise on the Almissa, we sailed from Dubrovnik to Split. We had a wonderful week, the crew the food & locations were amazing. We were so lucky to have Dino as our tour guide, he made our trip the best, he gave as so much information on where to eat, what to see, great swim stops, when the weather wasn’t great he organised alternatives which we much appreciated. We had the time of our lives, we loved Croatia!!

Perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, your choice! With breakfast and lunch (3 course) included every day and a swim stop in between (my fave part) the afternoon and evening were yours to explore the next town/island. You could choose one of the organised excursions or do your own thing. Nothing was too much trouble, the crew were the best and our tour manager Klara was the bomb!! Thank you Salve di Mare! We miss you already

After extensive research by both my husband and myself, we joined the Sail Croatia, Salve de Mare cruise this past September. Looking for a smaller cruising footprint with excursions was our goal and Sail Croatia did not disappoint. From the date of our embarking to our final day with our new international friends and a wonderful crew, our adventure was just that... a true adventure! We would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to our friends, co-workers and family members! Adventure awaits with Sail Croatia!

This cruise checked all the boxes! From the moment we stepped on to the boat until the moment we stepped off, we did not have one complaint. The itinerary was perfect, food was delicious, a good balance of down time and touring, swim stops were fun, and the most wonderful crew! And Anita was the perfect tour director!
- Anonymous, 06/10/2025 18:07, Travelled in a Couple
This cruise was better than we even anticipated. The crew was great, very responsive, personable, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious; every meal was expertly prepared and what you’d expect from a 5-Star restaurant. Weather required that we pivot from the original schedule but the captain and the guide made sure we had good alternatives for swimming and exploring. Highly recommend this trip.

Improve breakfast offerings, variety and presentation. Offer better quality coffee and tea options. Communication with passengers and kitchen waiting staff. Improve lunch offerings, more vegetables, and meat quality and variety. Serve tables with waiters offering drinks. Have coffee and tea making available during day with biscuits etc The discussion of itinerary to be held prior to lunch service. No smoking on ship for passengers and crew. Provide equal number of deck chairs to passengers. We had 10 deck chairs for 36 passengers and I witnessed a passenger confrontation Set outdoor furniture up for passenger comfort prior to breakfast service

Hi Alison - Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you enjoyed the beauty of Croatia and discovering its lovely islands. Our chefs always aim to provide a variety of meals using fresh, local produce, even within the limitations of a small ship’s galley. Your comments regarding meals, table service, tea and coffee availability, communication with kitchen staff, and deck chairs have been passed on to our Operations Team for review - we appreciate your input. Please note there are designated smoking areas on board, usually located towards the back of the boat. Looking through our internal records, we understand there was some confusion over breakfast timings, which was quickly addressed with your Rep. We value your comments as they help us continue to review and refine our service as we strive to maintain the high standards.
The trip was wonderful! Klara was incredibly knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and super helpful to give recommendations. The crew were well equipped in making sure all passengers had a safe and enjoyable cruise from port to port. The chefs made delicious meals for us each day and the bartenders were a delight, always willing to serve with a smile, despite their long hours and early mornings! My husband and i would highly recommend this trip to others.
- Brittini, 29/09/2025 10:00, Travelled in a Couple
We chose Sail Crotia for the small size of the ship and passenger count. I have always been attracted to Croatia and this was the perfect opportunity to get an intimate look. The ship, the Salve d’ Mar was lovely. Well kept, modern and spacious. Our staff was friendly accommodating and fun. The tour director Klara was i i formative and fun. Although we preferred a top deck cabin our lower deck was perfect. Comfortable bed, nice size bath and hot showers. We would highly recommend the Sail Crotia line and this ship specifically
- Paula, 29/09/2025 07:39, Travelled in a Couple
Fantastic holiday, lived the swim stops and timelibe of the cruise

Dalmation coats is stunning - rich in histriy and natural beauty unspoilt . From Solit to Dubrovnik the sial built the fairy tale story book like villages and views. Our crew director Klara presented croatian history with Proud cultural insights gabulosu sense of humor highlightiesent
- Melody, 25/09/2025 05:33, Travelled in a Couple
This was our first visit to Croatia. We’re so glad we chose Sail Croatia! We like small ship cruising and it was a perfect way to see so many places while unpacking once, enjoying beautiful swim stops every day and eating delicious food.
- Laura, 22/09/2025 18:47, Travelled in a Couple
Ship was lovely. All staff were amazing. Karla looked after us with nothing being too much trouble and with a fantastic sense of humour and friendliness. The island visits and swim stops were beautiful. The additional activities were not so good.
- Christine, 22/09/2025 18:47, Travelled in a Couple
From the minute we were told on the app where to board our boat we were looked after. Food was excellent throughout the week and the crew endeavour to make our holiday fun and special. They all work very hard but in a very discreet way. Our cabin which was spacious was cleaned daily. The captain Frane very professional, Klara our host was amazing and kept us up to date with the events and movement of the boat and excursions. The deck hands and bar staff were all so friendly and the other guests we had such a lovely relaxing holiday but also managed to see so many beautiful destinations with this kind of holiday. I loved the variety and we have made many long distance friends as a result. Would highly recommend sail Croatia.
- Sue, 22/09/2025 15:10, Travelled in a Couple
We can not speak highly enough of our time on Salve De Mare! We met and created friendships and memories and were treated so well by the Captain and Staff! Captain Franne found us the most beautiful swim spots! Our Rep Klara was funny, kind, knowledgeable and always on to help us, answer ANY question or request. Our servers/barmen Vlaho & Marco were awesome. Friendly, chatty, and efficient!! They are really good at their jobs! Chefs food was delicious!!! Lots of variety and creativity with the dishes- we were never disappointed! A huge shout out to Monika who mostly stayed in the shadows of the halls and cleaning up after all of us! And to the deckhands, your jobs are appreciated! Overall this is a trip we will never forget and thanks the crew of the Salve De Mare for making it happen’
- Melissa & Chad, 22/09/2025 14:23, Travelled in a Couple
We did the Explorer cruise which was a lot of fun! Dino & crew were great. providing the group with recommendations for things to do, eat & drink each day. There is the chance for relaxation, swimming, paddle boarding etc & you could book to do excursions or go explore for yourself. The food was delicious, but they do forget about dietary requirements. I spoke to the company before arrival about dairy intolerance, again on check in & during service but gave up in the end. Fortunately it isn’t an allergy I suffer with. Excursions were hit & miss. Some were overpriced and discouraged to do which seems odd to advertise them. The evening dinner & local tour was fab but rushed, a little longer was needed during the meal & drinks to relax. We missed out on the bike tour in Mljet National Park due to winds eventhough other Sail Croatia tours were going there, it seemed there was a rush to get to Dubrovnik?? So be aware the itinerary can change but beautiful swim stops as an alternative.
- Kerry, 22/09/2025 14:12, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful week. The staff was amazing, helpful and friendly. The ports and swim stops were unreal. My only negative feedback would be the food. I did not enjoy the food at all. Another negative was how dark the bathrooms are.
- Anonymous, 22/09/2025 09:00, Travelled in a Couple
The boat, location, our hosts, the food and the swim stops!
- Michelle, 17/09/2025 10:57, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I had wonderful adventure! The swim stops were the best. The crew and captain did an incredible job. Sasa the cruise director did an outstanding job keeping us informed and answering questions or concerns in a matter of seconds! We absolutely will be back one day for another trip. Kind regards, Sandi & Ken
- Sandra, 16/09/2025 17:07, Travelled in a Couple
I loved all the old towns in each place, the swim stops and for us the people. The boat crew and our tour manager Sasha were great humans - thanks Sail Croatia.
- Simone, 15/09/2025 13:01, Travelled in a Couple
We had an amazing time. The staff, excursions, service and food was 5 stars but I gave the survey 4 stars because of the condition of the boat. This boat needs maintenance and upgrades.
- Anonymous, 15/09/2025 06:54, Travelled in a Couple
Value for money, excellent cruise staff and a great bunch of people on the cruise. The food was excellent. Cabins quiet, clean and comfortable. Vik our tour manager was THE BEST he provided us with so many options and opportunities. When the weather was not so great he worked really hard to find other activities to do. The captain changed our destination so we didn’t experience too many rough conditions. Honestly all the staff worked extremely to give us the most fantastic time. We are sad it is over.
- Emma, 15/09/2025 04:10, Travelled in a Couple
Having celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with Sail Croatia was truly one of the most memorable and magical experiences of our life . From the moment we stepped on board, we were welcomed with warm hospitality , impeccable service and stunning views. The representative Dino along with the Captain Josip and the entire crew ( waiters/chef and sailors ) went above and beyond to make this experience even more pleasurable,. It was a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. We returned home with unforgettable memories and a deep gratitude for the journey we shared both on sea and in life.
- Luisa & Joey, 10/09/2025 17:35, Travelled in a Couple
The crew on this boat were absolutely awesome. So friendly, helpful and informative. Our guide Toma was excellent. He ensured we were well taken care of and were well informed of our activities and options each day. A mention also to the crew. The chefs were amazing and the housekeeping and bar service were 5 star
- Maria , 08/09/2025 15:19, Travelled in a Couple
Had a really fab week aboard the Tempera. Was the perfect mix of downtime, swim stops, activities and socialising. Changeable weather meant we missed Vis and spent an extra night on Hvar at Jelsa, which turned out to be one of my favourite places. The food was excellent and plentiful - I've never eaten so much! Our cabin was excellent too - 'the penthouse' on the second deck, possibly because I booked a year in advance. Loved watching the sunrise out the window. Couldn't get the TV tuned so bring a fire stick or something if you want to use that. Staff were all great, especially Tomas who kept an eye on us at swim stops - always smiling. There was a couple of big groups on our boat which made me nervous we'd be excluded but we made friends no problem and had a blast.

Have just completed our week on Mali Ante and wow! We hit the jackpot with this crew. Our captain was amazing all of his crew made our week a truly memorable experience Special mention to our chef who went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary requirements I could not leave a review without giving 5+ star rating to our Tour Manager, Sasa. He made our week with his knowledge and organising. So much fun We miss you already Mali Ante
- Jackie, 08/09/2025 10:04, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful time on the Mali Ante. The sights, excursions, food and facilities were top notch. The crew were professional, fun and gracious. Our tour host Sasa was a great guy and very responsive. Highly recommend Sail Croatia. Croatia is an incredible country with equally incredible people.
- Mollie, 08/09/2025 09:48, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Croatia, Dubrovnik to Spit on Salve di Mare with Vicko as our tour manager was a highlight of our European holiday. We chose an Explorer itinerary hoping for likeminded people on the cruise and could not have asked for a better group of people and crew to explore Croatian islands with. We chose excursions that interested us, and sometimes decided to relax and explore on our own. The morning swim stops were spectacular!. We had a lower deck room and were surprised by its generous size. The crew on Salve di Mare were wonderful, and nothing was ever too much for Vicko, who explained the history and attractions of where we were next visiting, and he was happy to make suggestions and reservations for us. We highly recommend this cruise and hope to return to beautiful Croatia!
- Sheree, 07/09/2025 09:55, Travelled in a Couple
We really enjoyed our week on the Almissa, all of the crew were very friendly and professional at all times. The breakfast selections were excellent and most lunches delicious and big servings. The boat was kept very clean at all times. Only negative for us was that we would have like clean towels supplied more frequently as they were only changed once. Also a bath mat supplied for the slippery floor in the bathroom. We would recommend the Almissa & Sail Croatia & would love to book again in the future... Kind Regards to the team!
- Anonymous, 07/09/2025 06:12, Travelled in a Couple
Our sail was made fantastic by host Vikor , he was exceptional . His enthusiasm and knowledge was endless
- Karen , 03/09/2025 11:36, Travelled in a Couple
We had the best week onboard the Almissa. The crew were amazing, always eager to help. Tour Manager Dino was full of local knowledge and it was so helpful when he shared tips and suggestions of where to eat and what to do at each port. The captain adjusted the schedule slightly to ensure we had the best experience on each island, this included swapping ports around so we could visit the Blue Cave in Vis, which was definitely a highlight of our trip. Thank you to all the crew for making this a truly memorable trip.
- Heather, 02/09/2025 07:03, Travelled in a Couple
Almissa was truly the best boat ever !!! We had the most unforgettable week around Croatia. Dino was very informative and accomodating helping us book restaurants and ensuring we had the best experience on sail! I can’t recommend this boat enough!!
- Claudia, 01/09/2025 18:06, Travelled in a Couple
The week was amazing cruising through the islands, stopping to swim each day and exploring the cute towns. The crew was really friendly/fun (our host was Dino) and the rooms were far more spacious than we expected. One thing to note was that the excursions weren’t included in the booking cost so we ended up spending quite a lot more on doing the activities (30-60 euro pp on each activity). They provided heeeaaaps of food for breakfast and lunch and catered to my dietary requirements (gluten free as I am coeliac) but unfortunately the desserts were pretty sad compared to everyone else’s - usually packet custard/mousse with fruit or just fruit alone :(
- Zara, 01/09/2025 08:30, Travelled in a Couple
We had the most incredible week sailing with Sail Croatia on the Salve di Mare! The whole experience felt so luxurious, the cabins were much bigger than expected, the food was absolutely outstanding, and there was always plenty of space to relax and sunbathe on board. Each day was perfectly planned with swim stops in beautiful spots, a great selection of excursions, and the most welcoming crew who made everything seamless. A special highlight was our expert tour guide Vicko, who was not only friendly and helpful but also gave fantastic morning briefings that brought each destination to life and helped us make the most of our time there! In just 7 days we managed to pack in so many incredible experiences that it honestly felt like a much longer holiday. Sail Croatia exceeded all of our expectations – I couldn’t recommend it more!
- Christina, 01/09/2025 07:42, Travelled in a Couple
I am so grateful for the incredible experience. We sailed for 7 nights from Dubrovnik to Split and loved it! We were surrounded by a wonderful group of like minded people and made friends for life. Lola and Max honestly were the best and provided a wonderful atmosphere and experience. The experience could only be slightly improved by a few tiny things, better coffee on board, the smell around the front lower cabins and swim stops being a little later and longer. But this did not take away from the incredible time we had and we will recommend this to everyone we know! Thank you Sail Croatia!
- Monique, 01/09/2025 07:05, Travelled in a Couple
We had the pleasure of sailing with the Tempera crew and with Lola! Safe to say we had the best week ever!! The crew were just amazing, nothing was too much especially for our endless drinks with Max and Milan! We had such an amazing group of people on the boat, ones we will stay close with for a long time. Thanks again, we hope to do it another time ❤️

Everything was so easy! From booking to getting on the boat to all the activities. Our rep Vik was amazing and so knowledgeable. Made all our excursions a breeze and kept us informed of any changes and our next day activities. Our crew was phenomenal and made sure we were well fed, drinks flowing and safe and having the best time. All such lovely, hard working people. Met some amazing new friends on board. If your thinking about it, just book it. You will not be dissapointed.

5 STAR - from the chefs, bar staff (Maxie!!) The deckhands, the captain & our wonderful coordinator BIG VIC! how do we even start to thank you for our 2 weeks on board the Tempera! Yes 2 weeks - we enjoyed the ole girl from Split to Dubrovnik and back to Split. Being on an intimate boat we got to enjoy the staff & guests alike. The incredible port locations - the excursions offered and if weather was an issue we were told immediately but was filled with something else that was fun or a port just as good! The swim stops - this was a highlight of every day! How do you even describe where we would be placed! Was just the best!! Again the fun with the guests was just magic..The food! these two boys would perform meal after meal from that galley - the breakfast - our highlight as it would bring us all together to start the day! - portions were really good & having our breakfast hot & all the chatter in the saloon was a perfect to bond with other guests! WE LOVED IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH X

Everything about this trip was amazing, Our room on the boat was excellent and the food and wine were wonderful. It was the perfect mix of relaxing swim stops in crystal clear water to really fun excursions. The buggy ride in Korcula was a highlight and the wine tasting was also great. Our tour guide Dino knew the areas we visited really well and was always helping us with information on things to see and do and restaurants to try. Dino and all the crew went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. We cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
- Michelle, 19/08/2025 06:26, Travelled in a Couple
We had an amazing experience recently when we sailed with Sail Croatia, on-board their ship, Almissa, with a fabulous crew and our Tour Director, Dino. Communication before the cruise was relevant and regular. The app gave us detailed information and following emails provided even more information. During the cruise Dino gave us regular updates on sailing, stops, excursions and activities. He was most helpful in his recommendations for places to eat, see and enjoy. We would definitely recommend these cruises whether you are wanting exploration or relaxation there is something fir everyone. The crew are friendly and helpful. We were well looked after and enjoyed our continental breakfasts and delicious 3 course lunches. We had fun, we had relaxation and we look forward to visiting again on the future.
- Kim , 15/08/2025 22:42, Travelled in a Couple
The cruise was lovely, very relaxed. Buffet breakfast in morning, swim stops and relaxing, then 3 course lunch and afternoon is free with lots of suggestions and opportunities to enjoy each stop. Staff were all so friendly and kind. Our below deck rooms were high quality and spotlessly clean. Food was high quality. The staff made everything easy and fun. Island stops were fabulous loved them all. Salve de mere was a beautiful ship spotlessly clean. Thank you Sail Croatia

My husband and I both agreed that this was the best vacation we have ever had. We just completed the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise and it was absolutely amazing. The Dalmatian Coast of Croatia and the Adriatic Sea are absolutely breathtaking. Every view was picture perfect; so that was a great start. Then, our ship, our crew and our fellow travelers made the overall experience outstanding. The crew took care of our every need. They were thoughtful and gracious. Our rooms were spacious and clean. The food was very good with generous portions. It was also a lot of fun interacting with our fellow travelers. Every stop had something new and interesting to see and the history mixed with the beauty makes this trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and we will definitely be back! Thank you to the Almissa crew for the best vacation ever!

Cruising with sail Croatia was the perfect mix of relaxing and adventure. Our boat, the Tempura, was great and Anita, our sail Croatia representative, made everything so easy! She sent us recommendations at every stop that were all amazing and made all of the logistics with excursions so easy. You could tell she really cared about everyone having the best trip possible! Our itinerary changed due to some weather but she still able to coordinate everything perfectly!

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 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!
- Angelka, 31/07/2025 12:34, Travelled in a Couple
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!.
