Ivan out tour guide was phenomenal. He taught us something new everyday about the history and geography of Croatia. He always made things interesting and fun. The entire schedule of the Wines of Croatia Cruise was perfect, never too much and always an adventure. We were treated like royalty on the ship and the accomodations were just right. The Queen Jalena is a marvel of a ship. I hope to sail with Sail Croatia again in the next year or tow, NO ONE could be better!!

The cruise was lovely & scenic. I wish we had more time at the ports, the time spent at the swim stops & lunch seemed a little too long. Staff were nice & very professional. Ship was well maintained & very clean.

We were a group of 11 friends on the Queen Jelena Wines of Croatia cruise and had the trip of a lifetime! From the service, to the cleanliness of the boat, to the excursions, everything was flawless. Biggest shout out goes to our intrepid leader Ivan who was always organized and informative, and most importantly, put up with our antics. If we were to come back for another cruise, he would be our top request! And don't forget about the food! The breakfast buffet was always hot and filling. The three course meals were some of the best meals I had while traveling ever. Finally, the dining excursions included were such a delicious way to try traditional dishes. Sail Croatia truly does an exceptional job at customer service and tourism experiences. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

The food on board was delicious! The weather was superb which allowed us to look forward to each and every swim stop. Loved all the islands we visited. Our cruise director Anita was the absolute best. Always keeping us informed ahead of time on what to expect at each island and ideas on where explore, what activities to possibly participate in and amazing selection of restaurant choices. She was always quick to answer questions, make reservations and assist with any problems anyone had. What a kind beautiful person who clearly loves what she does. We have raved about our holiday and our Sail Croatia experience. What an incredible way to meet people from around the world, explore the many regions of Croatia. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea was a favourite part, one we looked forward to daily. Loved loved loved this vacation ❤️

What was so great about the boat cruise the amazing crew including Vicko and the Captain! Followed closely by the fun loving passengers! 10 out of 10 for Vicko’s knowledge, humour and happy friendly nature. I thought the Californians and Brit’s were an awesome bunch of fun loving people. A big thumbs up 👍 for Sail Croatia💖💫

We had the best vacation on the Olimp with 10 of our friends. The boat is beautiful, cabins are modern and bathrooms are great. There is plenty of space (in the sun or in the shade) to relax and enjoy the passing scenery. Captain George and the Olimp crew were fantastic, making sure we were safe, happy and well feed & ‘watered’! The islands we visited were lovely and we all enjoyed wondering round and exploring them. Daily swim stops were fun and locations were always very picturesque.

Queen Jalena is a classy broad.. ooops boat. She's built in a such a way that her broad bottom glides as smoothly as silk over the seas. She looks kinda antique with her mahogany fittings and hardwood decking but she's seriously classy and a thoroughly modern miss.. The crew keep her in ship shape order,, cleaning and polishing her everyday so she sparkles. Speaking of crew, what bunch of consummate professionals they are. Nothing is ever a problem for them. Graacious and generous, our wish is their command. Experience this extravagance for yourself. Catch a taste of Croatia in the coolest and most casual way possible via Sail Croatia. You'll be left wanting more❤️

We traveled with a group of friends. This cruise perfectly loans itself to a friendly and fun experience. The crew was fantastic, in particular Mio and Martina. They made our experience so much more fun and their attention gave a much higher level of service than expected. The slow progression through the islands felt luxurious and calming. I never felt a moment of motion sickness. The islands and coastline are absolutely stunning. The cabins are good sized, the showers had good water pressure and temperature. The bar was well stocked and available when we wanted it. The only weak area of improvement is the meals. The long lunch is lovely but some of the dishes were not delicious. The daily salad bar was good as was the breakfast. We would have preferred a longer breakfast time. It was early and too short.

I travelled with my husband and friends on the Elegance cruise from Split to Dubrovnik onboard Olimp. It was definitely over and above my expectations. The ship was superb in every way. The food was brilliant and as I am Gluten / Dairy Free, this was catered for and very delicious. The crew were amazing and could not do enough for us. The captain (Jure) was extremely personable and very good at his job, managing the boat and his crew very professionally and always smiling. Our cruise director (Vedran) was absolutely amazing and had a great sense of humour, we were sorry to leave him. I would definitely do this cruise again and would recommend it to anyone considering this.

We had a wonderful time on the Romantic Star cruising from Split to Dubrovnik visiting the beautiful islands of Croatia and swimming in the beautiful Adriatic Sea. We loved everything about the cruise from the wonderful staff of the Romantic Star who looked after us so well, the incredible and delicious food onboard and the beautiful swim stops every day in the warm clear waters of the Adriatic. Special thanks to our tour manager Anita who took such good care of us every day. We loved everything about our cruise and would definitely recommend it!

We absolutely loved each & every moment! The staff was excellent, the food was delicious, the swim stops were like a movie…clear blue water warm sun and all the friendly wonderful people. Our cabin was a below deck cabin with portholes and it was sparkling clean each day beds were very comfortable and the shower was hot and had lots of pressure. Nikos (Our wonderful tour manager) made sure everyone was happy and our tours were informative. Each port had so much history, we always had a beautiful evening strolling the beautiful towns. Our captain made sure the sailing was smooth. We especially enjoyed the Captain’s Dinner with local band excellent food and dancing. Our on shore dinner (included) was a unique local farm/winery, complete farm to table dinner with flowing wine & local cuisine I would love to return for another sailing. This was so much more than expected! Highly recommend!

I just got back from an unforgettable Sail Croatia vacation on the amazing Katarina super yacht. It was a superb trip! Everything about the yacht… the crew, the boat itself, the food, the itinerary, the swim stops and more were beyond perfect, all day, everyday of the cruise. It was worth every cent, and will be forever remembered! Wouldn’t change a thing! Wow wow wow!

The cruise exceeded my expectations. Being “trapped” on a small vessel in the Adriatic had the potential to be conflict ridden and challenging. Instead everyones’ interests were adeptly accommodated and a good feeling was generated by our guide and the boat crew. People very quickly became a team that looked out for one another enjoying the well-thought out cruise itinerary. Swim stops were fantastic and there were many opportunities for exploring either alone or with the group. Unforgettable experience enhanced by a genuinely caring staff. The lunches were delicious without exception and it was brilliant to be free to find your own dinner options to avoid overeating. Will definitely consider returning for the southbound version. Such an excellent way to combine history, culture, activity, sea air and terrific cuisine.

Unforgettable holiday visiting many beautiful islands. Captain and Crew were fantastic and our trip was made even more special with our host Ioana both knowledgeable and fun very helpful going above and beyond booking not only our group tours but also booking and advising restaurants as so many to choose. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food was fabulous highly recommend Favourite memory of the holiday the dolphin pod swimming along side the boat travelled the world and not seen so many dolphins at once 🐬🐬

My friend and I traveled on the Katarina from August 24 to the 31st. The yacht was absolutely beautiful. The dining room is stunning and all the shared space, upper deck with lounge chairs, hot tub, to the couches on the main level, we’re extremely well designed and comfortable. We stayed in the lower level and the rooms were spacious. I can’t say enough great things about the crew. The captain was readily available. Our host, Nikos, is amazing. He provided daily itinerary, along with suggestions for tours and restaurants. Nikos recommendations were excellent, in addition to being a great person and enjoyable to be around. The daily breakfast and lunch were spectacular. The staff is top-notch from the hostesses, cooks, housekeeping, and deck hands. We enjoyed the format. Sailed mornings, had breakfast and then a swim stop at every destination. The captains dinner was so much fun with live music and dancing all night. I really enjoyed the guest that we sailed with.

The friendliness of all crew members immediately made everyone feel comfortable and ready for an enjoyable, relaxing and memorable time. Nikos the tour guide was extremely patient, informative and funny. Nothing was too much trouble. Captain Ivan was very approachable and happy to have you learn more about the runnings of the boat. Ivana and Angela were the hostesses that always knew what we wanted and needed. Their smiling demeanour was so welcoming morning and late at night. The cleanliness of the entire ship was outstanding. The food was plentiful and extremely tasty. I honestly cannot recommend the Katarina crew and boat enough. A fantastic week with wonderful memories.

We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik on the Olimp. A group of friends celebrating significant birthdays. George and his crew made our sail so seamless., They keep the boat absolutely immaculate and Nikolina managed to keep our cabins neat and tidy with regular linen changes. Nothing was too much trouble. Amina and big H were so gracious when we’d come back on the boat for ‘one more drink!’ A big shout out to Ivana, who’’s briefings were so informative, her restaurant suggestions always on point and her manner gentle and warm. For us, Sail Croatia was a travel highlight and a big hit! We love Croatia Helen and John

We had an absolutely fantastic time. Our Cruise Director Ioana was so professional, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her to organise. She was always available and communication was great. The crew were great, efficient always smiling 😃 and friendly. Almira and Ivo were very attentive in the dining and bar areas. Hard working crew all around the sail crew were great in getting the best swim stops every day and Nickoletta was wonderful with housekeeping. The Chef and his sous chef prepared delicious food for us and the variety was excellent and very tasty. Thank you SAIL CROATIA for an amazing trip. We made some special friendships and all the places we stopped along the way were great with many different experiences.

boat was fantastic as were the wonderful crew and the Sail Croatia rep. overall food was very good although it would have been nice to be able to dine on deck rather than on the dining room - certainly for the onboard barbecue. we had a lower deck cabin which was well appointed although it could do with a washing line to hang wet clothes on . stops were great especially the swim stops - although i think this could be improved by offering a late afternoon swim stop. i appreciate the logistics of arranging moorings may make that difficult. overall a great holiday we had a great group of fellow travellers who all socialised together and this made the holiday.

We loved our trip on The Olimp. We made new friends from across the world, had excellent daily swim stops in quiet coves - getting on and off for those stops was made easy by a platform which lowers into the sea (no nasty ladders) The crew of 9 were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. They had an excellent grasp of English too. The holiday was effortless because of them. Breakfast at 8-9am in the restaurant daily, followed by a daily briefing at 9. Swim stops were about 2-3 hours after breakfast. Coffee, cake and fruit was available after 11am. A 3 course lunch was 1-2pm, after which we landed at our destination and the day/night was our own til 5am. On ship bar closed at 12 midnight. It all worked wonderfully. Our host Ivan was fabulous. Some stops had free walking tours, others had bookable excursions the day before. The Captains dinner and village meal were both excellent and included We had daily advice on local wines and restaurants. I highly recommend this cruise.

We sailed on the Katarina from Dubrovnik to Split. This was our second Sail Croatia trip on the same route, but a different ship last time. The ship is family run and you can tell it's their passion. The Katarina is a great ship, plenty of sun beds, and seating areas, perfectly working air conditioning in the cabins and a good shower. Of particular note were the excellent crew. The Captain Ivan and the girls Ivanka and Angela serving us particularly need a special mention. They were all great fun at the Captains Dinner and seemed to be having as much fun as we all were! Cleanliness on the ship could not be faulted. The sailors were always cleaning, and we usually had the shiniest cleanest ship in the harbour. The food was excellent - quite large portions but that's hardly a complaint by most! The Tour Manager was Mia and she was absolutely fabulous, she was knowledgeable and friendly, with an excellent sense of humour. We will definitely be back!

Ana was amazing about coordinating events/excursions and making sure that we were all having a great time, and the crew of Esperanza made sure that we all felt so taken care of the entire week onboard, This will be such a hard vacation to top. The swim stops every day were beautiful and each port in Croatia was unique and fun in their own ways. 10/10 would recommend.
