Our holiday was very relaxing. Dino was 5 stars and so were the rest of the crew. Great way to see the islands. The only reason we rated 4stars instead of 5 is because we would have preferred not to be served a full 3 course meal at lunch. A buffet would have been better. Save the big meal for when we were in the towns. As it was we ate two dinner type meals a day until we decided to just not eat lunch on the ship.

I filled the quick review onboard but understood there would be a more thorough evaluation of our trip. The biggest concern I had was the food. It was not up to standard. You should hire qualified trained chefs. Thousand island salad dressing was over poured on all salads. White bread for the most part. Not alot of citrus fruit. Overcooked tuna at captains dinner and appetizer unappealing. The captain wore a sweatshirt at the captains dinner. You couldn’t order a glass of wine you needed to buy a bottle. .

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.

Wonderful experience with Sail Croatia. Loved sailing on a smaller vessel and stopping at the different islands for lots of time to explore and relax.

We started in Dubrovnik and island hopped north to Split over seven days. Excellent trips, tastings, scenery, cabins, food and company. Klara our guide was fabulous and absolutely made the holiday with her energy and humour. Highly recommended!

We sailed on The Romantic Star on a wine cruise. We had daily wine tastings in beautiful different places and plenty of wine to sample. The lunches on board and The captains dinner were delicious. We had a lower cabin as no upper ones left and it was very quiet and spacious. Klara our guide really made the trip. She was funny, helpful, organised and gave us detailed information about what we were doing on a daily basis, restaurant suggestions and was always on hand to help. The ship had plenty of seating areas if you wanted to be quiet and some lovely semi shade areas on the upper deck. I would recommend this trip .

This was a unique and marvellous way to enjoy a lovely part of the Adriatic coast. Our sailing vessel was beautiful and crewed by an exceptional team. The biking/ tour guides were spectacularly well prepared and made this trip wonderful .

We arrived in Split during a deluge but the welcome on board Mali Luka from crew & fellow guests was warm. Cabins are sparsely furnished but clean and functional- not a lot of cupboard space so pack a bag that can be opened and accessed from under bed. Comfy bed & cotton bedding. Clean cosy en-suite bathroom. Meals on board plentiful with drinking water available whilst galley open and fruit bowl. Complementary tea and coffee would have been nice. Bikes and cycling was great. Many using e-bikes which were good in the heat & on steeper climbs. Swim stops scheduled for most days. 3 course lunch on board after cycling was a great time to informally chat with other guests. Our guides Ivica and Sassa were next to none with helpful info about the route, local history and things to see, do and eat after The daily ride. We travelled around many islands and mainland small towns during the week as well as the cycling so this type of holiday is just The perfect way to see & experience Croatia.

Wonderful people and staff on our boat!

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!

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
This bike sail was recommended by my sister who did it two years ago. We are by no means active at home but wanted to challenge ourselves by doing something active and adventurous. I can seriously say this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The guides Marin and Olja were just exceptional. They looked after the group like we were precious cargo. The bike rides were amazing, exhilarating and great fun. We chose e-bikes as did most of the group and there was a wide range of experience from very little to very experienced cyclists but we had no problems keeping up. We really enjoyed being part of a group. We got on so well and have made many new friends. I have come home renewed with enthusiasm to get more exercise and have now bought an e bike. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is not luxury but it is great fun and loads of adventure

We highly recommend this trip. It is superbly well organised, the guides and crew were lovely and the boat was fine. The islands that we rode through were so beautiful and interesting. The bikes were sturdy and reliable and well serviced. I needed a smaller bike because I’m small and that was provided easily. All good. Lots of happy memories. Do it!
- Karen, 25/05/2026 05:46, 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!

Great vacation and The sail tour was the highlight.
- Angela, 25/05/2026 04:39, Travelled in a Couple
It was the perfect blend of relaxation on board and moderately challenging hikes. The Salve di Mare was spacious and comfortable, our cabin was cosy and well equipped, the food was amazing, and the crew were lovely. Our hiking guide and tour manager were excellent. It was a great holiday - not cheap, but worth the money.
- Sue, 24/05/2026 14:40, Travelled in a Couple
We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding work done by the crew of the Emmanuel during our experience aboard the boat. We would especially like to highlight the exceptional work of the two guides. They were always ready to help, highly professional, and at the same time very personable and approachable. Their dedication truly went above and beyond our expectations and made our experience even more memorable. We would also like to recognize the excellent work of our guide, Marine. Hi extraordinary knowledge of the history of his country and his unique way of sharing it with us were truly remarkable. At times, we felt as though we were attending a fascinating history class. His passion was evident in every explanation, and it greatly enriched our journey. Please extend our gratitude to the entire team for making this such a wonderful experience. Kind regards, Valerie LeBel Roger Pelletier

I had a great time. Guides were outstanding (Josko and Lauren). I felt safe in their hands. Itinerary: I would have preferred more kilometers The bikes were basic and minimal. I expected better quality, especially the non E-bikes. The boat was fine. I did not need anything fancier. More than adequate The food was good but often overcooked. (The captain was a great pilot, he has no business interfering in the kitchen) Portions too big; buffet style may be better. I appreciated breakfast as I could serve myself and the variety was perfect. The portions at lunch were way too big. I dont like wasting food. The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Consider other drinks at the bar (juice, lemonade…)

An unforgettable trip! The sail & hike itinerary from Dubrovnik to Split was expertly led by Mate and Saša, whose love and pride for Croatia shone through every story and hike. They were informative, entertaining, and perfectly balanced. The islands were stunning with crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and breathtaking views from clifftop vantage points. On board, the food was fresh and generous, cabins surprisingly spacious and spotless, and the crew professional and welcoming throughout, with Marko and Vlaho taking excellent care of us all week. Will hopefully return to experience a different Sail Croatia itinerary!
- Kim, 20/05/2026 09:32, Travelled in a Couple
Had a fantastic week on Mali Ante with our guides Mario and Matilda who worked together professionally to manage our group. We had some challenging weather for our hikes which did cause some plans to change, but all was done with our safety and comfort in mind. I would highly recommend this 1 week sailing trip.

My husband and I were a little concerned as we hadn't ridden a bike for many years and we are both in our early 60's. We are fit and healthy and adventurous. We were also concerned we may be the eldest in the group and didnt want to hold anyone up on the bike rides. We loved it. The E bikes made it so easy. The guides were fantastic.and just so great at their jobs. We rode everyday and are now going to book another E bike tour. we are hooked. All the other guests were around our age and we all had a ball. The food was excellent. The rooms were great and the beds comfortable each with our own ensuites. The only down side was the alcohol on board was very expensive and you cant take any on board.
- Lisa, 19/05/2026 08:50, Travelled in a Couple
Okay. The food was average despite cooks efforts to prepare and serve quality food. There was no alcohol provided with Captains dinner. Staff were great!

Wow! From the moment we stepped on board ‘Olimp’ we both knew we had made the right choice choosing Sail Croatia. All of the crew, tour manager (Vedran) and the Captain all made us feel like family and went above and beyond to make our whole experience a memorable one. We made the decision to do a small boat cruise rather than a huge ship, and it was the best! The cabins were spotless and very comfortable. No trouble sleeping at all onboard. Meals on board were delicious each day and five star in my opinion. The Captains Dinner was amazing. So much fun and laughter. Great food and drinks. We will be recommending Sail Croatia to all of our friends who are thinking about going on a cruise. Thankyou all again for a memorable holiday that we will never forget. Until we meet again Colin and Deborah

An excellent week away on the hiking cruise. Such a well organised and fun week - Mate & Sase were great leaders. All the crew on the boat were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The boat was so clean and well maintained. Everything was perfect!

Awesome. Calum the rep on the Tempera was very good. We had a good mix of passengers and the crew were very responsive. For the price we paid I couldnt ask for more.

joska and Lauren were fabulous and the crew of Dionis. there were some blips but they sorted it out. the bikes had issues and i would suggest not using that supplier agsin

Our week on the Almissa Explorer Cruise was amazing! From the crew, meals, swim spots and guests onboard, everything was perfect! The cabins were well equipped and very cute - we had an above deck one. Excursions were well planned and a lot of fun!

We absolutely loved our 7 night Sail Croatia hiking trip. Our guides, crew and captain did an amazing job.. I loved that the food was flavorful and healthy. The hikes were perfectly planned, organization was spot on and the crew and chef did a fantastic job of making the boating aspect smooth and seamless.

It was a great experience. The scenery was outstanding - every island had so much to offer. The guides Miran and Johhny were awesome. They kept the group safe and we learned a lot about the history of each island and Croatia in general. They treated everyone like family. The ship, Emanuel, was great- rooms were good, sun deck on the top is nice. We were fed well- breakfast and lunch every day. I enjoyed the authentic Croatian cuisine at lunch. The cooks made outstanding meals.
- Monica, 18/05/2026 10:12, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I chose sail Croatia for our honeymoon and it was the perfect week. We did the northern split hiking route on the mali ante with Mario and Matilda and it was perfect! The crew was SO kind and truly just a joy to be around. Mario and Matilda work awesome as a team and made you feel like part of the group every single day. They are so kind and educated, and it’s obvious they love what they do. I cannot recommend those two enough as guides! I can only hope when we come back we get lucky enough to have the same team onboard. It was so much fun! The hikes were awesome. The swim spots were perfect. It was honestly the best week.
- Caity, 18/05/2026 09:08, Travelled in a Couple
Excellent holiday from start to finish. Mate & Sasa our hike & tour leads were brilliant - friendly, approachable & very knowledgable. Communication of information about the hikes, the history & the area were always spot on, the variety of hikes and locations we visited were amazing. Always felt safe & guided & had the best experience - fell in love with Croatia & its people. Salve di Mare is a beautiful boat, immaculately clean, great size rooms & very comfortable with plenty of space to move around. The food was amazing with a different 3 course lunch menu every day. Service in the bar & lounge from Marko & Vlaho was also excellent & we built up a great rapport with the whole team. We met a great crowd of people from across the world & have made some new forever friends. Would thoroughly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Kerry, 18/05/2026 07:57, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful experience meeting new friends and cycling across the islands. We had e-bikes which made the cycling easier because the hills are big. Our food on the Mali Luka was exceptional. The crew was great! Lots of fun!
- Christine, 18/05/2026 06:35, Travelled in a Couple
Fabulous holiday!! Our 2 guides Tonka and Elena were very professional, experienced, kind and fun. The breakfasts and lunches were very good, and I appreciated the availability of fresh fruit every day. We thoroughly enjoyed the locations of scenic islands that we biked through and mainland Croatia too. It was a great experience. Thank you.
- Linda, 18/05/2026 04:24, Travelled in a Couple
Fabulous!!!!! This trip for exceeded my expectations. Tonka and Elena were incredible cycle tour guides, balancing fun, safety, great cycling, routes, flexibility for weather conditions …. All to make the needs of the individuals making of our group. Our cabin was absolutely beautiful with a walk-in closet! I did not expect daily housekeeping. Anna was great. The food on this trip was spectacular. Breakfast and lunches were absolutely amazing. We will definitely recommend this trip to others.

The boat, Princeza Diana, was lovely and the crew was outstanding! Our daily lunches were just delicious, way nicer than we anticipated. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Elena, managed to keep 32 riders of varying skill levels safe and entertained. Our daily rides were so much fun on the beautiful Croatian islands!
- Patricia, 12/05/2026 22:22, Travelled in a Couple
The wine cruise was amazing in all respects. The ship, staff and tour director surpassed all expectations. The food was very good. The chef and assistant produced incredible meals and catered accordingly for anyone with allergies etc. Lola, our tour director, was so knowledgeable and ensured our wine experiences were memories for life. The ship was perfect and our captain made decisions when the weather changed to take the safest and smoothest route. I would highly recommend this trip.
- Janine, 12/05/2026 20:54, Travelled in a Couple
We experienced great service and were completely satisfied with our trip. The captain and crew did an outstanding job navigating us through the outer islands near Split. Our cycling guides Miranda and Lucy were always cheerful and enthusiastic. The e-bikes are very user friendly and can power up the hills with no problem.. Lucy helped us to learn about Croatian culture and history at our rest stops while riding through the beautiful countryside. Extra add ons like wine tasting, olive oil tasting and a meal on a local farm.added to the experience.
- Joan, 12/05/2026 16:51, Travelled in a Couple
We loved pretty much everything about this Wine Themed Cruise. Our cruise director Lola went above and beyond to answer all our questions, provide helpful recommendations, take awesome photos and share lovely Croatian customs w/ us. The CREW worked their tail feathers off, especially Pamela & Lucy behind the bar! Service always with a BIG smile. Josef & Josef also worked hard to make sure our sail made it safely in and out of every port. We enjoyed having dinner w/ Captain Gordon and hearing all about his ship! The crew who prepared our meals were amazing. Not sure how they got 30+ meals all out at once from their tiny kitchen. With that being said, there were a couple of things I would have preferred. Often the food was served at room temperature which I prefer my food to be served hot. I also found it often lacked seasoning. I would have liked to see a more varied menu. With that being said… the Tuna steak was amazing and the Lamb Shank too die for! DESSERTS excellent ❤️
- Margaret, 12/05/2026 16:27, Travelled in a Couple
The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The boat was immaculate, our cabin was spacious, the food was top notch and the crew and guides were excellent. A special shout out goes to Tonka and Elena for leading our large group with such ease. We especially enjoyed Tonka’s “story times” throughout our rides. Loved every minute of it!!

What a wonderful week travelling on the Mali Luka from island to island to cycle in beautiful Croatia. We appreciated the emphasis on safety and fun at the same time. Our guides Ivica and Sasha treated everyone equally and made us all feel very comfortable. The routes are a mix of lengths with varied scenery keeping it interesting. Historical facts were shared about each location. The staff work around the clock making sure that the experience for clients is sensational. Excellent communication with WhatsApp throughout. Book this adventure as soon as you can!

Our cruise to some of the Croatian Islands was a wonderful experience. So much beauty and history. The Esperanza is a lovely boat and we were very comfortable. The crew were charming, helpful and looked after our every need. The food was delicious but three courses was almost too much at times! The Captain ran a tight ship and took us to some beautiful bathing spots in the clear waters of the Adriatic. Being a small boat we got to know our fellow passengers from different parts of the world which was an added bonus. We enjoyed our holiday enormously and will remember it for a long time to come. I recommend this holiday to anyone who loves beauty, history and warm friendly people.

Many great highlights - fabulous country and facilities Suggestions When arriving at Dubrovnik- do a full on water up and down around old town before we dock Lunches are great but heavy 3 course meal for lunch prefer lighter salad etc Service was great , host very knowledgeable Great boat
- Deborah, 12/05/2026 08:32, Travelled in a Couple
Just about everything!!! This was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever taken because the Sail Croatia staff - tour director Sasa and Ivica (cyling guide) made it all so easy and fun. We had one raiiny cool day and they even made that fun - there was no way I was missing out on the ride. I also loved how they recommended or organized things to do on the various islands after the ride - like learn about stone masonary, going to a local winery for a wine tasting and even a local live play. After I had a little fall (not on the bike) they came to my rescue immediately and made me feel safe. I will always love Croatia and I hope to return next year to try another route --I will ask for Sasa and Ivica and I would follow them anywhere. I already miss them and this amazing holiday and it has only been three days since our tour ended. .
