Wonderful!

Outstanding guides, Calum and Srdan were wonderful . Great captain, cook and crew on the Mali Luka . Food was plentiful and delicious. This sail-cycle cruise was such a lovely way to enjoy this beautiful country. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Unbelievable vacation!

We traveled with two families with older teens, nine total. We had the most incredible vacation. The locations were stunning, the crew and fellow passengers were fun and engaging, and the food was imaginative and delicious (but not too crazy for our picky eaters). The Salve di Mare was a beautiful boat and the rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean. Could not have asked for a better holiday!

Wonderful in every way

A fantastic voyage from start to finish! The ship was high quality, very clean and comfortable. The food was much better than expected and featured a good variety of dishes. The energy and helpfulness of the cruise director ensured everyone had a great time. I cannot say enough good things about the full experience. Highly recommend!

Best holiday ever!

Absolutely loved this holiday. The ship was immaculate, crew were amazing, with special note to Vedran our cruse guide. He was so lovely and very funny, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely swim stops, beautiful islands. We were also blessed with such lovely fellow passengers. What an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend. Would love to do it all again!

Incredible !!

Our week on the Spellbound with Captain Ana & Daniejl was awesome! I would highly recommend for those who love the balance of the relaxign on the sea, exploring islands, wildlife & history! Ana & Daniejl made each day a wonderful experience by sharing their knowledge, making suggestions on things to see and do to fantastic dining! A week of sun, fun and laughs was had by our entire family. Highly recommend and we plan to return soon to explore more places!

Incredible

Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. We were on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise with our young adult daughters and this trip will always be remembered. From our cruise manager Josip, to the attentive staff & crew & captain- everyone was a 10/10. We met like minded travelers from across the world & enjoyed each day at sea and land with awesome excursions. We are so grateful for the memories. Thank you all!

7 Days that changed the way we travel

Some vacations are enjoyable. Others completely change the way you want to travel. This was one of those trips. Our family of four spent 7 days sailing with Sail Croatia, and it wasn’t just our favorite vacation—it was the highlight of all our travels. Exploring hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear water, visiting charming villages, and setting our own pace created memories we’ll never forget. Our skipper, Ante, was knowledgeable, engaging, fun, and knew just when to share local insights and when to give us space to enjoy family time. Croatia stole our hearts with its beauty and welcoming people. The flexibility to adjust our plans based on the weather, our mood, or a local recommendation made the trip feel truly personal. We’re already planning our return. I recommend Sail Croatia without hesitation!

I'll be dreaming about this vacation for years to come

.Our private catamaran charter on the Spellbound with Sail Croatia was the best trip I've ever taken with my family. I was delighted by how customized the experience was without much advanced planning (the captain Ana and host Danijel got to know us and made great recommendations). The trip seemed twice as long (in the best way) because traveling from island to island was part of the magic, and it didn't feel like a waste of time compared to taking a vehicle . I was most worried that the boat would feel too crowded (10 adults) or too hot (end of June) and neither was true at all! Danijel was an excellent cook (honestly, some of his food was better than the restaurants, and that is no knock on the restaurant!) and Ana was amazing at scheduling and coordinating the day's activities. Our favorite parts of the trip: e-biking Mjlet, ATV tours of Hvar, & snorkling off the boat each day. My dad caught an octopus, we saw a pod of dolphins, & the water was crystal clear 30+ feet down.

- Megan, 09/07/2026 21:13, Travelled with Family

Absolutely incredible experience on the alley cat!

We went into our trip with high expectations and even those were exceeded by Fani and Mishlav (spelling?). From the moment we stepped on board they were warm welcoming and accommodating. The boat was well maintained and very comfortable. Fani was incredibly helpful shopping and preparing gorgeous and delicious meals for us! Mishlav was an excellent captain, super skilled and navigated some wind and weather perfectly keeping us in calm waters and sunny coves the whole week! Croatia is a gorgeous country with the nicest people, most gorgeous water and coast lines rich in history and beauty!

Excellent holiday

It was 5 star luxury with personalised touches to make me feel valued. The staff never stopped trying to please. The visits organised as part of the experience were informative and added to the beauty of the islands visited.Would recommend to anyone to go on this family run cruise

Sail Croatia

We hired the boat Morpheus for our family of 5 ( three adult children) Andreas our skipper was fantastic and an enthusiastic sailer. he planned a great week for us. With a mix of remote swimming spots and idyllic towns. The boat was perfect and the kitchen well equipped with everything thing to to cook lunch each day on board. One of the great things about the trip was you are in a different place each day but you dont have to pack your bags each day like when you stay in a hotel. We would all love to do this trip again.

The best way to see Croatia

We had an amazing experience. We meet some wonderful people, and enjoyed many activities, the swim stops and boat cruise were so enjoyable too.

Libby put the wind in our sails!

Once we had recovered from the consequences of 1,000 rings of the infamous Sail Croatia bell, my siblings and I agreed that it had been the best week of our life and made a pact to return on the oldies boat when we are geriatric. It goes without saying that the people you meet, nights out and activities are all priceless, but what really made the entire trip was our host Libby’s organisation, maturity of a person twice her age, perfect balance between friend and authority when it mattered, and perfect speeches that set the tone for our days. She took extremely good care of us all, often going out of her way to follow up on situations and check in with everyone if they seemed off. She was an absolute joy to be around, made the trip feel effortless and I highly recommend her as a host. Thank you Sail, but most importantly thank you Libby for your hard work. 🩷

Sun, Salt and Scenery

You never know what to expect with 35 strangers but this mini 7 night cruise exceeded all expectations. We were warmly greeted and had ample time to mingle or do our our things. We were provided with numerous options for eating out and placed to visit at each stop. The on board food (breakfast and lunch) were plentiful and the swim stops along the way were so dreamy and refreshing during our hot week on board. The rooms were well spaced with ample storage for our 2 large and 2 small cases and the A/C kicked in well at night. Our main host Andro was exceptional and his command of the English language made everything seamless, closely followed by the diligent boat crew . We had so much fun, lots of drinks and laughs with guests and plenty of time to really unpack and unwind. I felt safe, my belongings were secure and we strongly recommend the Tempera to those looking for adventure, unique beauty but ample time to chill out.. There are a few deserving tips and taxes to factor in though.

- Sammy C, 07/07/2026 02:22, Travelled with Family

Relaxing with the right amount of activity

Croatia is beautiful, I loved all the islands, Stari Grad and Mljet National Park were highlights. Tempera is due for a refurb next year, it's fine, but it does need some attention. The crew were great. As a pescatarian I was catered for, but hot breakfast items were all in the same serving dish - eggs tasted of sausages - I can cope with that, but many wouldn't. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable.

Sail Croatia

Overall such an amazing experience! Antonio our tour guide was amazing in his knowledge of all the hit spots in the area and make it his mission to keep the vibes high all week.

- Anonymous, 03/07/2026 18:38, Travelled with Family

Fantastic!

Thank you for a wonderful, enjoyable trip! We could not have asked for more. Our Skipper, Ana, early on showed experience and confidence and we allowed her to make decisions regarding our stops, swimming places and restaurants. That worked out so well and we were never disappointed. We had wonderful food on the boat, prepared by Danijel and at the many restaurants on our way. A trip that I would recommend to many! Thank you!

Wonderful Bike Cruise

We had an amazing week with Tonka and Callum onboard the Mali Luka. It was a small group of 10 passengers and the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. Tonka and Callum told us many stories and recommended great things to do on each island during our free time. The food was great and the bike was enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip.

- Karlene, 03/07/2026 02:57, Travelled with Family

Unbeatable Experience, Unbeatable Crew

This experience has truly claimed the #1 spot for “best family trip” by a long shot. Danijel and Ana were our dynamic duo that made the sail special and specific to our family’s preferences. They recommended incredible experiences, helped us avoid overcrowded less impressive options, and kept us fed with delicious meals prepared fresh every day. We spent days swimming in stunning waters with very few neighboring ships, and evenings dining with the most incredible views. Ana planned reservations that we never would have found or known of otherwise, and we greatly appreciated her honesty in describing our options so we could pick the best options for us. Everywhere we went Danijel and Ana had clearly formed genuine relationships with so many locals across all of the islands- and the warmth and hospitality of those relationships radiated and was felt by our family, too. It was incredible to be a guest on this Sail Croatia charter, and I could not recommend it more highly.

- Emily, 02/07/2026 12:34, Travelled with Family

3rd time doing this trip and everyone is different but excellent - there’s nothing like it

We had a great time cycling sailing socialising and visiting the islands our guides Tonka Natasha and Tony were out to ensure everything went smoothly - their clear instructions, information with a friendliness and sense of humour was exceptional The crew too worked hard to ensure the boat was immaculate and where it should be - peter the barman and waiter was efficient with a great sense of humour A mix of nationalities made the conversations at meal times and whenever we were together more interesting I was worried when I booked this holiday for the 3rd time and it didn’t disappoint - we will be back next year for a 4th 😊 Thankyou to our guides and crew you gave it your all

Fantastic Captain

Our private yacht charter for 4 adult family members on Sundance was relaxing with all of the details handled by our captain, Ivan. He planned each day as we went, paying close attention to activities we enjoyed, specific requests, and boat traffic to avoid crowds. He suggested local restaurants on each island and made dinner reservations for us. His laid back, friendly approach and local knowledge enabled our days to be fluid without having to keep to a specific schedule. The boat itself is starting to show its age and does not have a generator so there was no air conditioning except if docked in a marina which led to some very warm nights when we were on mooring buoys or anchor, which was most nights, as well as during the day due to the severe heat wave during our charter. The Sail Croatia team made booking, check-in and check-out extremely fast and easy. Provisioning provided by Artisans of Food was delivered to the boat before we arrived. Highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Lara’s review of flotilla week

So good!!!! Our skipper Marjan was amazing, so friendly, informative, fun and respectful aswell as very clean! He made us skipper dinner of risotto and tomato salad which was delicious. We had such an amazing and fun week. The winery was a highlight for me personally. Such good value, food, wine and views. One thing i would like to mention for sail croatia is how my sister- Ella Pierce and I had been put on a boat with 3 other people from our hometown, where we both would’ve benefited to be mixed up or on one of the other boats so we could get to know other people from around the world not our hometown. Not a complaint-just for future I think it would be nice for people to get to know others if that makes sense. Other than that, incredible week and we will be recommending !!

Trip of a Lifetime!

We had an absolutely amazing week with Sail Croatia on our private charter! Marko and Nika were the most incredible Skipper and Hostess. They were so considerate and thoughtful in all of the planning and execution that they took care of for our daily swims, overnight stays, on board meals, and island plans. They really cared about what we wanted to accomplished and went above and beyond to make the trip special for us and our two teenagers. All of the pre trip plans and communications were executed seamlessly with the home office. I can’t recommend this experience enough!

- Christine, 30/06/2026 01:21, Travelled with Family

Absolute best week of my life!

Sail was hands down the best experience I’ve had! The trip was absolutely topped off by having Antonio as our rep and the crew onboard Marija Magdalena! The whole week it felt like we were apart of a little family, they all went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after, safe and had a sensational experience. Antonio especially was outstanding, ensuring everyone was having a good time, looking out not only for us but also others that were apart of sail Croatia on other boats as well. You could tell he is passionate and cares deeply about each individuals experience. The whole crew really allowed us to immerse in the culture, teaching us new words and sharing their knowledge of the country. This topped off the trip being able to appreciate the beauty alongside all the classic sail shenanigans. I could not recommend this trip more highly and hope others get to meet this fab crew in the future!

Mali Luka bike & boat week Croatia

Perfect! Loved the whole week. Well worth it. Spectacular scenery and swim spots through the islands. Guides Callum and serge were awesome as were the whole Mali Luka crew. Will definitely do another Sail Croatia bike & boat in the next couple of years.

8 Days with Mislav and Fani!

We were absolutely GIFTED the experience of sailing with our Captain, Mislav and our Hostoss, Fani. Mislav treated us like old friends while keeping us safe on the water and while docked. He really is the sweetest and provided us with an unmatched experience on the water. Fani, our phenomenal and gifted Hostess, is a true gem. Her food, her smarts, her care, and her quick wit were all given genuinely and generously (especially the food!). I can not thank you enough, Sail Croatia, for pairing my family up with these two. Hvala!!!

- Catherine, 24/06/2026 18:10, Travelled with Family

We had a fantastic time onboard a private yacht with Sail Croatia. Ivan was a great captain taking us to the best parts of Croatia. His knowledge of the islands and understanding of our needs made for a perfect holiday. Highly recommend for families.

Sailcroasia

Very enjoyable. The meals were excellent and we had enough time to rest and enjoy the scenery en the Adriatic sea. Our Skipper was always firmly in control and that provided confidence and peace. Our chef's was local dishes whih we enjoyed! Both are easy-going and supplied info about our stops and places to visit.

- Karin, 24/06/2026 06:21, Travelled with Family

Best trip ever!

We were a group of 4 siblings, plus spouses, traveling on the Split to Dubrovnik sail/cycle route. We loved everything about the trip. I highly recommend an e-bike which helps on the long hills. Our daily guides were very knowledgeable about the islands we cycled. Each morning before we cycled, the Guide would explain some history of the island, and what to look out for on the upcoming day's ride. One Guide led and the other followed the group. The scenery was spectacular. The food was very good, and the accommodations were comfortable. We stayed in a different port each night so between cycling and walking around the different ports, we got a flavor of each individual island.

Sizzle

Couldn’t have asked for a better week on the yacht. Beautiful boat and an even more beautiful sea and locations. Our holiday was made when we dropped lucky with the best captain Andrija! We couldn’t have asked for a better captain, took us to the best bays and food spot. He really made our trip. Very friendly and great service when we arrived and departed.

What an amazing vacation

Truly a trip of a lifetime. Croatia is gorgeous and this is the best way to really get a glimpse of this wonderful country. The staff of the Katarina were amazing and ensured that we had an exceptional experience. The food, service, absolutely everything was top notch. Not to be missed experience.

Mali Anti

I was somewhat disappointed and felt the overall experience to be a little lacking. While the air conditioning failed in some cabins and the crew did what they could to fix it was understandable, one guest complained and the Captain felt it necessary to berate all guests on board at dining. The excursions were less than what was advertised. The swim time was extremely long and cut into time that could have been spent on shore. We scheduled a pick up through our ship from our hotel to the ship for departure and then were not allowed on the ship for 2 hours in an area with no shelter, shopping or bathrooms. The coordinator of excursions missed the mark on helping acquire e-bikes along with knowledge of restaurants and distances to attractions. There were not enough deck chairs for the number of guests. The jacuzzi was filled only twice. Coffee was only available during breakfast hour or had to pay for it. Overall, the experience was not what we had hoped for or planned.

Best Experience Ever!

I’ve had an amazing time and a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Not only were our guides Ivan and Lucy were amazing during the bike tours, they also provided amazing suggestions on things to do and where to eat. They were very well organized and took care of everything even reservation reservations, or booking tours. Lucy also provided us with so much history and information on every island we were at. It was such an amazing trip and an adventure of a lifetime. They made sure everyone was included and had something to do that, giving many alternatives incase some groups wanted to do their own thing. We made so many unforgettable memories as well as friends. I definitely would recommend and would totally do it again! Lucy and Ivan are the best people, friends, and guides ever!

Perfect

The ship…beautiful. The food….superb. The stops…unforgettable. The crew…perfection! We probably won’t be able to duplicate this trip in our lifetime. It’s like the stars came together for us and we were able to create a family memory that we will tell our grandchildren. We now identify as Croatian. 😉

Cycle tour

We loved it, the cycling was excellent, bike easy to use and we were kept safe. Croatia is beautiful, clean and welcoming. The boat was lovely and clean and the capt was incredibly proud of his boat, and very accommodating for the guests. Food was amazing, healthy and filling.

The perfect sailing adventure

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sailing trip. From an easy booking process to a wonderful captain, lovely boat and perfect sailing conditions, we loved every minute of our trip. The Croatian islands are beautiful and our captain gave us lots of options and a variety of things to do and see, so that each day was a different and special experience. Sail Croatia staff were very professional and helpful, with lots of communication and information both prior ti our trip and once we arrived. I would highly recommend this company.

Sel De Mar

Lovely boat and crew. Chef amazing. However did not enjoy being constantly exposed to cigarette smoke on only lower deck, especially when deck was enclosed.

- Dawn, 19/06/2026 00:49, Travelled with Family

Almost perfection

This was a fabulous holiday! There are just three reasons I couldn't give it a perfect 5. 1. "Water toys"-having only 4 "floaties" when you have 36 people on board is not enough. On vacation, no one wants to jump is the sea and tread water for the duration of the swim stop. 2. The new Contessa is lovely. However, on the top deck there was not nearly enough loungers or chairs. People were having to share or go below deck. There was plenty of space for more. 3. It is a bummer that you advertise excursions to Explorer travelers but they actually do not happen or are not reccomended. We were excited on day 1 to go river rafting but once on board heard that that actually wasn't an excursion. Same with canoeing-said you "could" go, but that it was a very bad experience. Better tour operators or excursions need to be sourced. Lola was super and responsive. Martin and Neno amazing employees! Chef Bane and Marko fab. Charlie and Tino fun on deck, and maids were wonderful.

Sail Croatia: Elegance

From pre-boarding to waiting for different transportation upon departure, the experience was seamless. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my family and other passengers on the boat. Our cruise manager Dino did amazing with constant and clear communication, being available for anything we needed whenever, and the knowledge and pride in their country to share with all of us. I was the youngest on the group by 40 years yet I still had such a fun time at the swim spots and islands we visited. The food was great, crew did amazing with everything and I was thoroughly comfortable throughout my entire stay. Highly recommend and I will be back with more friends and family in the future!

Happy Trails

Fantastic! I traveled with my sister & friends. We shared both Northern/May 30, Mali Ante, & Southern/June 6, Afrodita on the 2 different yachts. After top notch dining, lodging, & exceptional friendly service on the Mali Ante, our second week on Afrodita yacht/crew was a bit of a let down. The towns, e-bike touring & special time shared with family/friends learning about Croatia was great! Again the crew on Mali Ante were professional, fun, & top notch! It also made a huge difference that Mali Ante crew were respectful of guests with cigarette smoking. It’s not fashionable & or healthy to most people.
