We were very well looked after by the crew and Lola our tour guide was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. The boat was very well maintained and clean.

We've just had an amazing week on Esperanza cruising round the Croatian Islands. We did Split to Split South. It was 5 stars all round! The boat was beautiful, the crew where outstanding and couldn't do enough for us, the group of passengers were great and the scenery just superb. The Dalmatian Coast is stunning and very stop was special in it's own way. We will definitely be cruising with Sail Croatia again and can't recommend them enough. I will say, please be aware of the expected tipping!

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

We loved every minute of our cruise and it felt that we were on a luxury charter cruise, visiting amazing places, architecture. The wine tasting at every destination was brilliant and interesting. The food on board was excellent and top quality. Our tour manager Ivana was excellent and very friendly and informative, and made sure we had the best time. The captain and crew were all very helpful and made sure we were safe and well looked after. The cabin was very comfortable, clean and quiet. I would certainly go on another trip with Sail Croatia again!

Excellent crew and Cruise Director. Our route and itinerary along the Dalmatian Coast, including visits to the islands with their beautiful towns (such as Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar) was well planned and spectacular, Quiet, easily accessible moorings overnight. I also very much enjoyed the swim stops. The yacht, Esperanza, is well maintained and comfortable. Delicious onboard food. Very lucky with our travelling companions.

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

The cruise was absolutely outstanding. Having ready reviews we were expecting a tiny cabin however we were more than happy with the size of room and bathroom. The storage space was a really nice surprise. The daily routine of breakfast, time to relax, swim stop & then lunch onboard before next destination made for a very relaxing week. Being summer and the long days we had plenty of time to explore each destination we stopped at. Korcula & Stari Grad were favourite stops!

Dino and the crew of salve di mare made for a perfect week! Thank you!

This was my first time to Croatia, and I am so glad that we used Sail Croatia. It was a great way to see some of the islands, and the explorer cruise was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxing. The crew were so lovely and helpful, and our tour manager Dino was responsive and offered great advice. I would recommend this cruise!
- Gill, 14/07/2025 09:52, Travelled in a Couple
We had the best experience with Sail Croatia! Our guide, Barbara, was so knowledgeable and full of positive energy. She made sure we were always informed and having the best time possible. You could tell she genuinely cared about creating a great experience for everyone on board! The entire crew was amazing and friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond to keep things running smoothly. The boat was clean and comfortable and the food was delicious!
- V, 14/07/2025 01:48, Travelled in a Couple
Had a really experienced guide in Johnny he made sure everyone had the best trip possible and was also very knowledgeable. He made sure all the passengers were well looked after. The rest of the crew were amazing and ensured everything ran smoothly. Such an amazing experience and a great way to see lots of places in Croatia.
- Millee, 11/07/2025 08:33, Travelled in a Couple
I loved all the rides...and the electric bikes were wonderful. We had excellent guides: Guide Ana gave us some great history information for of all the places we toured. Guide Andre kept the pace going and prepared us very well for each phase of the bike ride. The food was ok but needs to be updated. The salad lunch buffet was the best meal served. Guest wants light food--not soups when the temperature is hot outside or creme cake desserts at the end of every meal. . Food was tasty but the chef needs to cook for 2025--NOT back in the 1980! Otherwise--excellent trip and I will highly recommend the trip to all my friends. I would go on another but at a different location.
- Joy , 10/07/2025 15:08, Travelled in a Couple
My partner and I spent 8 days cruising around Croatia on the Tempera boat, the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive (and excellent chefs) and our trip manager Cal really made sure we had the best possible holiday. If you’re unsure whether to do a sail Croatia or not - let this be your sign to DO IT!
- Erica, 10/07/2025 14:58, Travelled in a Couple
We loved so much about the week and are so thankful that we were able to participate on the Explorer Cruise. The ship, Almissa, crew, and tour manager, Dino, made sure that the passengers could experience the beauty of Croatia. The swim stops in the morning were some of our favorite moments of the day - peaceful, turquoise glimmering water! Having the option to do or not do excursions or to take recommendations make the trip customizable for each couple, family or group on board. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to have an experience like this!
- Elizabeth , 09/07/2025 14:28, Travelled in a Couple
Just returned from a cycling cruise with Sail Croatia and it exceeded every expectation. The experience was seamless, adventurous, and full of heart. Huge shoutout to our incredible guides, Tonka and Sanja — a true dream team. Tonka’s biking expertise and Sanja’s rich regional knowledge elevated every moment. Their chemistry, energy, and care made the journey unforgettable. The onboard crew was just as fantastic — thoughtful, attentive, and always ahead of our needs. They found incredible swim spots and created a welcoming, relaxed vibe from day one. The group dynamic was a joy thanks to Tonka and Sanja’s humor and warmth — we bonded fast and felt like family. And the food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. This trip struck the perfect balance of challenge, culture, and comfort. I can’t recommend it enough — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Tonka and Sanja as your guides.

This cruise came highly recommended by a friend who has been twice and is already planning a third trip. It was such a spectacular trip! The pace was just what we needed. Breakfast and briefing in the morning, three-course meal at lunch. Swim stop in a protected area on our way to the next port. And then afternoon and evening in the town. We could be on our own or participate in one of several offered excursions while at port. We slept at port and then moved toward the next location. The sites were beautiful! The crew was amazing! They really made the difference ensuring that our trip was five-star. The food was absolutley delicious and more than we could eat! The room was very comfortable, although other than sleeping, we preferred to be on deck with fellow passengers and the crew. This was the perfect way to see multiple places in the lovely Croatia without having to navigate trains, etc.

We sailed in June on the Dubrovnik return itinerary with family and friends, The week was very enjoyable. The crew on the Colombo were terrific. Great food, great service and we really enjoyed our time on the boat. Our Sail-Croatia guides Mate and Ilona were excellent. They were very engaging, shared terrific stories and really made the trip enjoyable. The hikes were sometimes challenging (rocky, steep terrain), but there was great teamwork and we always ended with beautiful views. I have already shared many recommendations for this trip with family and friends. Thanks!
- Kelly, 08/07/2025 23:03, Travelled in a Couple
The ship was stunning and kept so clean at all times. The tour Guide we had - Ivan- was fantastic and so much fun and very witty. The crew onboard the Ship Olimp were superb and so professional. The chef prepared wonderful meals and never dropped the ball. The wait staff were brilliant and the maid onboard was just so adorable and such a delight. They all did a remarkable job and kept an eye on all clients when at our swim stops. Safety was always first and the cabin we had was great. Our most memorable part of our holiday in Croatia. Thank you to all who made us so welcome and for all the new friends we have made. Would recommend to anyone looking to experience life on the water and this stunning destination.
- Kym & Phil , 08/07/2025 14:20, Travelled in a Couple
We have just completed Split to Dubrovnik on the beautiful Olimp. From the moment we boarded to the end we felt welcomed,, indulged and included. Our guide Ivan was there every day with all information needed and his fabulous humour set us up for the day. The crew were amazing and ensured we were very well looked after from swim stops, to daily meals, drinks & spotless rooms. Thanks to our captain for steering this beautiful ship
- Sue, 08/07/2025 11:40, Travelled in a Couple
Our Elegance trip was fabulous. Our tour leader Ivana was exceptional giving great information about each destination and keeping us well informed thru daily briefs and what’s app messages. All the crew, the food, rooms and boat was immaculately maintained. The swim stop locations were amazing. Cannot fault anything about this trip.
- Linda, 08/07/2025 11:16, Travelled in a Couple
We had such a relaxing and lovely week on the Olimp. Every morning a swim stop in some gorgeous location, then a delicious lunch and then a visit to another stunning island or town. Our friendly, helpful and very funny cruise director, Ivan, made it even more special. Highly recommend if you want a way to see the gorgeous Croatian coast from the sea, without dragging your luggage everywhere! The boat itself is very well-appointed and the stateroom was very comfortable. Highly recommend!
- Rebecca, 08/07/2025 10:59, Travelled in a Couple
The yacht was family owned and operated by they took great pride in keeping their yacht immaculately clean. Service was excellent. After each days swim stop, we went to the sun deck, where a crew member was there to offer a drink.
- Susan , 08/07/2025 10:05, Travelled in a Couple
If you're even. considering a SailCroatia cruise, the Elegance cruise was fabulous!! This was our first, and we are now hooked! Ivana was our tour manager. She was warm, professional, so knowledgeable, and always helpful! We were always prepared with the information we needed for each day, excursion, and activity. It couldn't have gone any smoother for us! The entire crew was fantastic, and they all went out of their way to ensure a perfect holiday for everyone on the cruise! Truly a special trip, thanks to SailCroatia, and the entire crew!!
- Shari, 08/07/2025 08:56, Travelled in a Couple
The crew on Katarina were very helpful, hardworking and friendly. The Tour Director gave informative presentations and was approachable for help with our queries. The boat was immaculately clean and served us very well as our home for 7 nights. There was a good feeling of camaraderie amongst the other passengers. I liked the fact we were from different corners of the world. Their friendliness made our holiday a great one to remember. A highlight of my holiday were the swim stops in secluded bays of refreshing clear water. We visited some wonderful places.
- Pamela, 08/07/2025 06:47, Travelled in a Couple
Wonderful cruise with outstanding food, attentive and friendly staff and an amazing cruise director. Would recommend. Our ship the Olimp was just beautiful.

Marin was not only an incredible guide but also an incredible person!!! He was intelligent, kind and honest to all of us!! We all loved him and he made our trip feel safe, fun and very organised. The crew were also amazing!! Especially Matej and Ivan. The balance between chill time, excursions and partying was perfect and I can’t recommend it enough.
- Charlotte, 04/07/2025 12:50, Travelled in a Couple
Still not over how incredible this week was! Sailing Croatia was beyond beautiful, but it was Marine who truly made it next level. He wasn’t just our host he was our hype man, our party starter, our go-to for everything. Marine, you are seriously one of a kind and we LOVE you. You made everyone feel included and brought so much good energy from day one. I can’t thank you enough. And IVAN!! The biggest legend. So kind, so helpful, always up for a laugh. You made every moment easier, better, and way more fun. If you’re thinking of doing this trip, stop thinking and book it. And PRAY you get Marine as your host. Love you all forever. THANK YOU 🥹💖

We had a truly unforgettable experience with Sail Croatia on Katarina! This family-owned, new boat is so well run, with thoughtfully designed rooms and efficient daily cleaning. Everything on the boat was so great and well organized that we could fully enjoy the uniqueness of each island we visited. The beautifully planned itinerary balanced daily swims at stunning beaches with island visits and activities, offering great variety and a perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. The buffet breakfast and amazing lunches were a highlight, with fresh, delicious food fueling our adventures. The warm onboard atmosphere made it easy to connect with fellow travelers and form new friendships. A special mention to Mia, our exceptional event planner, whose knowledge of each island felt authentic and whose clear daily presentations and restaurant recommendations made everything smoother. We highly recommend Sail Croatia on Katarina for a joyful, enriching sailing experience.
- Margaret, 04/07/2025 10:06, Travelled in a Couple
Marin and the crew aboard the Eden boat made sure we were well looked after and informed of every activity, outing and event! We were provided insight into tourist hotspots, great photo locations and ways to maximise our time in Croatia!

Just completed a week on the Katarina with Sail Croatia, and cant sing its praises enough! From the beautiful boat, down to the amazing crew, not to mention the beautiful Croatian islands we visited. Everything was perfect, and we met some amazing people too! If you were thinking about doing this, but wasn't sure what to expect! take the plunge! literally into the Adriatic sea in the morning swims! you will literally! have the time of your life!

We just finished the Split/Return Hiking Tour. We were thrilled with the vacation. The Tour Leaders were personable and knowledgeable; the Cooks prepared Amazing food (and paid very close attention to my food allergies); and the Crew of the boat took very good care of us. The water was mostly very calm which was wonderful for swimming off the boat and on the beaches. This was my first time on a boat cruise, so I wasn't prepared for the smell of the bathrooms, but apparently this is normal. The weather was too hot for me to participate in most of the hikes, unfortunately, but I enjoyed swimming and sight-seeing in the towns while others were hiking. We went with a group of friends, AND enjoyed new friendships with the others on the boat. A very happy 7 days!

First off, Croatia is amazing! Pristine waters, beautiful architecture, and fantastic weather. Next, the Sail Croatia experience was fantastic! Truly one of the best vacations we've ever had was on the Katerina boat. It's beautiful, immaculately clean ( and I am not exaggerating one bit), 5-star meals, nice sized rooms, and so much fun! The staff are the best, always present to make your trip perfect. We made new friends from around the world, swimming every morning, gourmet lunches, then exploring the next island stop. It is the perfect holiday!

We are so pleased we chose Sail-Croatia and the Almissa. Captain Joseph is an excellent seaman, and his sailors are first-rate. Our guide, Klara, was hilarious and made sure there were no problems, only solutions. The ship staff made sure we never went hungry or thirsty. We especially loved the daily swims in secluded spots, We will be back!
- Mary, 28/06/2025 16:19, Travelled in a Couple
Wow wow wow! From the moment we were welcomed on board we were made to feel special by Vikco and the crew. Great cabins that had everything we needed; the breakfasts and lunches were fabulous! So many well-chosen beautiful islands we visited with opportunities to do some of the activities offered. On the relaxing days it was lovely to sit and relax on the most beautiful ship and go out later when we docked and enjoyed some lovely dinners at restaurants that had been recommended to us. We will have these beautiful memories forever and met some wonderful people it was one of the best trips we have been on. Everyone got on so well It was such fun and for us we travelled with our special friends who live in the UK and we are in Aus so a great catch up for us. Thank you and we hope to sail with you again!
- Sharon, 27/06/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple
Ivan and Lucy were phenomenal guides. They took us to beautiful out of the way places. They took time to research ahead of time the most authentic Croatian experiences. We got to meet local people and experience their way of life. All while experiencing incredible scenery on off the beaten track roads. They were encouraging and nurturing. Felt very safe and supported on the bike rides. Lucy was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and her stories were very educational. Getting back to the boat was always a treat because Andre knew what we wanted to drink, and the meals were delicious. The ports were small and cozy feeling. Swimming off the boat was spectacular, the water was so clear and brilliant. The other passengers were equally delightful and interesting. We couldn't be more pleased.
- Joanne, 26/06/2025 13:32, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Croatia was the best week of my life!! I met so many new friends and partied A LOT, which I loved! The crew was AMAZING so friendly and their service was great! The food was insane, we had such a great cook. Saw so many beautiful places, swam in crystal clear water and tanned in the hot sun! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and I would love to do it again!
- Stephanie, 26/06/2025 08:11, Travelled in a Couple
Our recent 7-day hiking cruise with tour leaders Mate and Ilona was fantastic. They were absolutely the best--so knowledgeable and friendly, and they knew how to set a crowd-pleasing pace for activities. Ilona offered to make dinner reservations at almost every port of call--so helpful. The ship was comfortable and well-maintained, and the crew were responsive and professional. The food was plentiful and tasty. We were with a large group of friends, and I think everyone in our group had a great time. My husband and I were able to complete all the hikes. Not everyone was able to. I think some guests would have benefited from having more info about the hikes when considering whether to book the trip--not just length of hike and elevation gain, but a bit about the technical aspects: e.g., gravel/scree, occasional boulder-scrambling, etc. Mate provided these descriptions the day of the hike, but having the info earlier might have been helpful. Overall, though, 5-stars all the way!
- Kelley, 25/06/2025 21:23, Travelled in a Couple
We had an epic week on board the navigator ensuite cruise. Our tour guide was so friendly and helpful to all the guests, he had lots of knowledge of Croatia and could help us with any questions we had. We went swimming everyday, did so many activities in each destination (my favourite was the canyoning). Unfortunately, due to weather conditions we missed one of the destinations I was excited for but that’s okay!! We still had the best time and were lucky to visit a different destination instead.
- Victoria, 25/06/2025 12:28, Travelled in a Couple
We did the 7 night Elegance cruise from Split to Dubrovnik at the beginning of June. We loved every minute of this experience. The cabins were excellent, very comfy! The food on board was fantastic - especially the lunches! We had 3 courses everyday, but they were the perfect lunch size and so delicious. We had the most wonderful Cruise Director, Anita - she was always so helpful and very personable to all the guests. We loved her briefings of all the stops, we gained so much information. All the other staff on board were very friendly and helpful - we felt very spoilt all week. The Swim stops were just so beautiful - clear blue water and plenty of time to enjoy a fun swim. Each of the Island stops we did were excellent - you could do as much or as little at each stop. Restaurants were easy to find and always delicious. I can hardly wait to have the opportunity to do another cruise in the future.
- Karen, 25/06/2025 06:30, Travelled in a Couple
The entire crew for our Sail Croatia trip had endless energy and created more than a trip-they built a Sail Croatia Family. The bike rides were tailored to the group. The swim stops along the way were amazing! The entire crew had fun personalities and went out of their way to make sure everyone's needs were met. The meals were magnificent. Best trip ever!
- Kim, 24/06/2025 18:24, Travelled in a Couple
We loved the itinerary, the comfort of the boat, the amazing professionalism and friendliness of the staff and crew. We had active days and more relaxing days with swim stops. The tour guides were very informative and interesting. Our cruise director was perfect! Charming and also very intuitive of the passengers’ needs. We had so much fun!
