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 4 people that joined an existing group of 24 people that were all connected with each other. We were fortunate in that we all got along great. They were great cheerleaders for those of us not riding e-bikes. Our ride leaders, Ivica and Mario, did an amazing job of planning our rides each day, adjusting routes for the weather and our group's skill level. The crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful. Extra shout out to Christiana, David and our chef (for adjusting meals to meet my vegetarian dietary needs)

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.

Cycle guides and Mali Luka staff were all fun and helpful. They all approached their jobs with professionalism and pride. Evan and Ilona took good care of us and shared necessary safety tips in addition to some great stories and history. We had lots of fun. Suggestions to make the experience better: Soap / shampoo in the showers. Towels for boat swims (These are items that don’t work in carryon luggage. Include cycle jerseys in the pkg rate.

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.

Beautiful hike choices and Island locations. The Captain and his team were amazing and accommodated bad weather so that we still hiked and enjoyed the fair weather sailing. The food on Board was fantastic and Bruno was efficient and helpful. Our group would have preferred more swim time. Perhaps also, more time in Vis-maybe a second day there for more swim time, even worth losing one hike elsewhere. The hike to the Blaca Heritage monastery on Brac and the adventure was a lot of fun as well as a history lesson. We learned a lot!!! Blaca Heritage

Great biking- biking guides did a wonderful job with routes. And experiences on the various islands.. However I feel there should be more swimming time at the various locations we biked to ; instead we had to get back for lunch on the boat. It would have been better for sail Croatia to set up a lunch at the location we were at instead of us going back to the boat. Lunches on the boat were too much/That they were full meals, rather than a lunch.

The week on the Morpheus was beautiful,, we enjoyed visiting Brac, Vis, and Korcula and Havar. We wish we could have sailed the boat more, only had two short times the boat sailed , rest of the time we motored. Unfortunately, we ordered two paddle boards for the week and the boards were of very poor quality and insufficient . Another issue was we were provided only one towel per person for the week , this seemed insufficient for a whole week on the boat .

Overall, I had a great time on our Sail Croatia experience, but Matea truly made it outstanding. Matea was knowledgeable, kind and fun. The cabins were small and did not have AC (which we knew when we signed up). We thought since it was September, it would be cool enough at night. Half of the nights were a good temperature, the other half were not. In the future, I would opt for a boat with AC in the cabins. Unfortunately, since we came at the end/after season some things were closed and not possible for my group to do. The swim stops were also a highlight of our trip and Sail Croatia provided a lot more breakfast food than we were expecting, the fridge was always stocked!

This tour is awesome for those who wish to explore the Croatian Isles. E-Bikes are the way to go due to the hilly terrain and if you want to enjoy the scenery. If you really want a challenge then choose road bikes. Summer months are very hot so choose wisely. The itinerary is very good and the staff are awesome. Thank you to the crew and Miranda and Andro for a great week. Cabins are not cleaned daily, only every third day so plan accordingly as this is not communicated. Food was very good, but very salty. George was awesome and very accommodating to all guests. I would recommend this tour.

This was a very challenging ride with lots of hills. The staff on board were always kind and happy to meet any needs. The boat was large enough for us to all spread out and was not cramped.

While the crew onboard the Tuna boat were fantastic and did everything they could to make us feel welcome, I was quite disappointed with the overall experience—especially considering the price paid. The boat itself was very underwhelming and didn’t match the standard shown in promotional material or the experiences shared by friends who attended previous years. Their boats were far nicer, with better amenities and meals included. In contrast, we were asked to pay €30 for a BBQ dinner and made to feel bad for opting out. Room arrangements were also poorly communicated. We were told one friend would be in a separate room, which was fine, but only found out the day before that she’d be on a completely different level of the boat—far from us. To make things worse, the route was changed without explanation, and one night we even docked out at sea. This significantly impacted the overall enjoyment of the trip. Given the cost and the inconsistencies, I unfortunately wouldn’t recommend to frie

Thank you for taking the time to review us and for sharing your experience with us! We truly appreciate your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that the crew made you feel welcome and went above and beyond throughout your trip. They work hard to create a positive atmosphere onboard, and your kind words will mean a lot to them. We’re sorry to hear that the overall experience fell short of your expectations. You were accommodated onboard one of our Ensuite ships, which offer comfortable accommodation with private ensuite facilities as advertised. We do offer higher category ships operating on our Navigator cruises such as Premier ships for guests seeking upgraded facilities, however these are accordingly priced at a higher point. On some of the ships the Above Deck cabins are located on 2 levels, i.e. on the main deck and on a top deck. We highlight this information on our website under FAQ's titled ""What is the difference between Above Deck and Lower Deck cabins?. We do understand how disappointing it can be when friends are accommodated on separate levels and we are sad it wasn't possible to accommodate you on the same level in this instance. In terms of any itinerary changes and overnight mooring, our Captains work hard to provide the best possible experience based on weather and port conditions. In light of this, the itinerary and port locations may need to change during the week. We present this information clearly on our website and our Booking Terms so our travellers are well informed prior to travel. We are grateful you travelled with us and have taken the time to share your thoughts. While we are disappointed that you wouldn't recommend us, however we hope you will come visit with us again at another opportunity!
hi! unfortunately, the experience didn't align with what i expected. a few examples... - we were on a sailboat chartered by a company named Sail Croatia, I expected we'd sail at some point. I was disappointed to learn upon boarding that the sails hadn't been raised in years. Instead, we awoke to a running engine every morning. - I expected lots of swimming and time in the water along the Croatian coast. Instead, swimming was limited to just an hour or two per day. - Because the boat didn't have a tinder, we couldn't pull up to beaches on those swim stops and could only exit the boat in larger port cities - Instead of offering hot breakfast for an hour and continental breakfast beyond that, passengers could only access food from 8am-9am and were told to snack on a banana if they missed that short window. the boat captain was wonderful and the crew exceptional,the itinerary and schedule were not.

Hi Gina, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you had a positive experience with the captain and crew, they will be very happy to hear your kind words. We're however truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. As per our website, our vessels are traditional-style sailboats and they primarily operate under engine power for reliability and scheduling purposes. That said, we do offer sailing holidays with our Private Yacht Tours. On these tours, you will use a dinghy to go ashore, to the beach and within secluded bays, so perhaps this was more the experience you were looking for rather than one of our cruises you had booked. In terms of swim stops and beach access, we aim to offer daily swim opportunities, where possible. The ships do need to keep to a schedule, and take into consideration sailing times, weather, port traffic and other activities planned, so the time guests have to swim from the ship does need to be limited. Once the ship arrives into port, the islands have many beaches and locations for swimming, so guests can go for a further swim if they choose to do so. As for the breakfast timing, we’re sorry you felt it was too limited. I will be sure to pass these comments onto our Operations Team in Croatia. Thank you again for your review Gina!
I was on the Afrodita ship with Nora as our guide and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Food was great, good service and was with a good group of people. Only thing was wish we had more time to swim than what we got. The triple room below deck was very small for 3 people so would recommend going top deck or splitting groups.

Hi there, thank you for your review — we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your week on Afrodita and that your Rep Nora, along with the food and service contirbuted to this.

Thanks again for choosing to travel with us, and we’d love to welcome you aboard again in the future!

Went on the Split-Split cruise to celebrate a friends birthday. I really had no expectations but was totally blown away by how beautiful the Croatian coastline is. The crew on our boat was wonderful & our tour manager was great. The food & drink service was great but it would have been nice to have a larger window for morning coffee.

The staff, crew, tour leaders and guests on this boat were a fantastic bunch. Loved every minute. Had an issue with my room. Not what I was expecting for the price and supplement but that wasn’t going to spoil my trip. Boat was great, bar area very social. George n Danilo were great and George’s food was very good. Danny on the bar was the best barman very efficient and fun. Ivancic and Mario were a superb team, we have cycled with Ivancic before. He will never let you down he’s a very focussed customer driven guide. Very trustworthy. We’d like to return but we have visited most of the islands on your itinerary’s… any chance you could mix it up abit? Thanks again. Great holiday x

This tour is a great blend of cruising and riding. The guides, Miranda and Ana, were attentive to a fault, doing their best to keep everyone happy., as were the ship's crew. Guides and crew themselves seemed delighted to be there! The ship, the Mali Ante, was beautiful, clean, and well-run. The riding was well-planned, taking us along relatively easy routes in the countryside, and giving us a taste of many towns and villages, The meals were sumptuous and lovingly prepared. Someone considering this tour should know: - the rides are short, on average, so if they want more focus on cycling, this may not be the tour for them - the saddles for the e-bikes are hard and flat, so it might be an idea to bring a gel cover for comfort - the crew does smoke, and the smoke seems to come into some of the rooms at times, through the ventilation system. - the meals were very meat-heavy Altogether, with these caveats, this was a beautiful tour, thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We enjoyed each destination, the swim stops and the variety of experiences. Our chief stew was amazing for coordinating activities, both free and paid, but we didn't do many excursions as they are pricey for the value, We still found plenty of fun things to do in each port! The accomodations and food fell short of our expectations though - there were three people on the boat with dietary restrictions or vegetarian, and we were only given extra services of the veggies/starch with no protein substitute. I often left hungry as we were unable to eat a lot for what was provided. The serving staff were also not accommodating, often dismissive or talking over our attempts to sort out alternatives for food. We also ran out of toilet paper a few times, and the showers didn't drain. Overall the itinerary made the trip worth while, but would hope to see a better effort to accommodate guests who don't eat meat.

Sail Croatia was a fantastic way to see the country at an affordable price. Firstly, I got extremely lucky with my guide, Noura. You can tell how well-versed, experienced, and caring she was in every way. I do not think my review would be the same if I had anyone else. The crew on my ship greatly improved the experience as well, the bartender Mateo was extremely fun and flexible, the chef was super talented and accommodating, and the sailor/captain were very friendly and felt like a part of the group. Overall, I’d come again but I would never choose a triplet. Realistically, it is not a triplet room and should not be advertised as such. The downstairs rooms were more spacious as doubles, literally. Claiming the lower bed is viable for two people isn’t ok, and especially frustrating since we had a smaller group and empty beds that could’ve been offered. Also, the party bus should be chartered. Everyone agreed it was a money grab that the company definitely could afford.

Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Sail Croatia! We’re delighted to hear you had a fantastic time exploring the coastline and that Noura, Mateo and the rest of your crew helped make your trip so memorable. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to them. We're sorry to hear that the Triple room didn't meet your expectations. To help set expectations clearly, our website advises: “On some ships, we also have triple cabins available for guests that are travelling as a group of three and would like to share a cabin. Triple cabins consist of a double bed and a single bunk, and we provide a 10% discount per person for these cabin types. In some Triple cabins, double beds may be slightly smaller to accommodate the additional single bed, meaning these cabins may not be suitable for travellers that require more space. If you would like to book a triple cabin please let us know and we can check availability when you enquire.” All extra costs are indicated in the itineraries on our website, to help customers have an idea of what to expect for their cruise. We hope to welcome you in the future!

We enjoyed our Split to Dubrovnik cruise; a great itinerary with lovely ports of call. The crew on board were exceptional - Max and Milan especially were so friendly and attentive - they really made us feel welcome. The cruise director, Dino, worked hard to help us with port stops and excursions. Overall, a great trip but there are definitely a few things that could be done to improve the experience: for instance, tea and coffee should be available throughout the day - we had to pay 3.50 euros for each cup of tea, and the trip excursions were very expensive eg we paid 60 euros each for the Vis tour which had 8 of us crammed into a closed landrover and those in the back unable to see anything out of the window or hear anything the driver said. The food on board ship was very carbohydrate heavy - very few veggies eg menu on day 2 was: starter = pasta, main course = rice and bit of meat, dessert = semolina type pudding. I was craving some fruit and veg! Overall a good experience though.

Our guide Tonka was fantastic. The boat was clean and the crew was friendly and extremely competent. The group size was too large for me (30) and we ended up having to stop for long periods while we waited for non-e-bike riders to catch up. I found this frustrating and believe the two bike types need to be separated in mountainous terrain. We had a sun deck on our boat but there were no chairs or any way to sit on it. It only had permanent sunbathing pads fixed to the deck. That was a disappointment as there was not seating anywhere outside for the entire group. The boat maintenance needed a bit of improvement as multiple lights in our cabin did not work and the air conditioner never cooled the room. Croatia was gorgeous and the ride routes were fantastic. Food was good and the bikes were very comfortable and well maintained. I would not use Sail Croatia again unless they separate the bike types and have smaller group offerings or split the group with two lead guides.

Our guides Miranda and Tonia were the best! They were encouraging and helpful and knowledgeable! The boat was nice however I might mention a few things they could improve. Be more transparent about pricing of drinks. Choices of breakfast food could be better. Like more fruit and better toaster. Squeegee for showers to help with humidity in the rooms. Better WiFi in rooms. The ports were amazing and captain was great at parking the boat! I love Croatia and the people who live there are friendly and kind! We will be back!
