We had an absolutely fabulous time with Sail Croatia! Dino and all of the crew were attentive, informative and friendly. We loved the Tempera and would recommend this trip to anyone!
- Kristen, 16/06/2025 14:12, Travelled in a Couple
We had the most amazing time. The boat crew were amazing and friendly and very tentative. Halim our waiter did an exceptional job. Our guides Marin and Andro were amazing. Marin and Andro made sure we were safe at all times. Thier attention to our safety was imperative. Marin is so knowledgeable about his country and we learned so much about the history of Croatia and all the islands we visited. He was an excellent guide and we would request him if we do this tour again! The best and most memorable trip we have ever been on. The only critique I have is 2 pillows for the bed would have been nice and more or better wine selections. Thank you Sail Croatia!!

we were on the Salve de Mare and it was a beautiful and spacious boat with excellent food and crew.

We loved our week away with sail Croatia . It was all we were expecting plus more . The bike riding was amazing with a beautiful itinerary . We took normal bikes and it was quite challenging , If you are going in the warmer months strongly consider a ebike as the hills are hard in the heat . We loved anchoring in quiet blue coves and swimming . The crew and guides were fantastic . Thank you esp to Josip and Tashi our fabulous tour guides . We also loved meeting and traveling with like minded people from all over the world - we really had a lot of fun together . The cabins and ship was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed .

The boat was well provisioned, comfortable, and clean. The crew was helpful, nice, and efficient. The bikes were great. The ports were peaceful, beautiful and inviting.

We just got off the Split to Dubrovnik itinerary on the Emanuel with our EXCEPTIONAL CREW, WONDERFUL CAPTAIN Anto, FANTABULOUS GUIDES Dora and Sanya, and enjoyed the experience with a group of wonderful new friends as we cycled our way through beautiful scenery! We travel a lot and the 4 of us felt it was one of our best trips ever! We were also absolutely spoiled with our chef as the food was outstanding! We are HOOKED on cycling holidays now! Highly recommend and give the experience a 5/5 stars!!! Thank you!!! 🥰

Beautiful scenery, clear blue sea, unspoilt islands. Good food on the boat, great cycling (but make sure you upgrade to E Bikes!), A lot of fun and a perfect way to spend a week.

When approaching a. small ship experience we were not sure what to expect. What we received quieted our concerns and quickly turned into magic. Staff ♥️♥️♥️ Food ♥️♥️♥️ Fellow passengers (who quickly felt like family ) ♥️♥️♥️ My goal was to be the first one in the water and last one out ✔️ Pace of the day - perfection. We have riverboat cruised (Amawaterway), ocean liners (Regent and Oceania) but this one is SPECIAL. THANK YOU 🌼 Shout outs to Marco and Vlaho and Monica. Delights. Vhocho was our Sail Croatia rep. I will be singing your praises to all when I get home. Peace -

Just completed 7 day Split to Dubrovnik on the Tempera. Everything aboard was thoughtfully arranged and to a high standard. Our cabin was spacious enough for our needs, had strong water pressure in shower, and beds were comfy. Highlights were the fun and lighthearted fellow passengers from all over the world - we ate, drank, and laughed all week. And our consummate professional tour guide Dino - he had us completely dialed in on each island. Excellent recommendations, clear communications, and a true Croaia expert. He was a huge asset to our trip. Entire crew was professional and hardworking, especially server Maks who kept everyone fed and watered. Would not hesitate to book another Sail Croatia journey!

We had an amazing time on the Almissa! The Explorer trip was perfect for all ages. There were several families with young adults so we all made new friends. Everything was fantastic from the food to the swim stops and gorgeous islands to the fun group of people we spent the week with! Thank you for an amazing vacation.
- Rebecca, 15/06/2025 02:10, Travelled with Family
Our sail week was perfect, from the crew, our sail manager and the boat itself. The swim spots and places we docked each night were amazing and our sail manager, Tim, was really organised each day and responsive to everyone’s needs. We did have some issues with the AC in our room but the team were able to fix it a few days in and Tim was really responsive to this. Overall, highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone thinking about it - it’s a week we will remember always and have made some amazing friendships along the way 🫶🏼

Couldn't recommend the sail enough! Francesa was an absolute legend and she made the trip so memorable - best week ever!
- Jessie Howlett, 14/06/2025 07:44, Travelled in a Couple
We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.
- Anne, 13/06/2025 19:51, Travelled with Family
I enjoyed the daily activity and tha ability to immerse yourself in the Croatian culture. The people are very friendly and accommodating.
- JOANNE , 13/06/2025 12:04, Travelled with Family
I cannot fault this trip! Elena the tour manager was amazing- she was organised, enthusiastic and so personable. She went above and beyond for everything, gave great recommendations and was just a beautiful human being. The Novi Dan crew was also amazing- thank you Captain Vlado for taking us to unreal swimming spots and thanks to Chef Lovre and the rest of the crew (Toni, Marko and Adriano) for the delicious food, service and hilarious conversations. I would highly recommend the canyoning excursion if you have a chance and don’t mind a workout- it was a once in a lifetime experience. Overall, I had an unforgettable week, with beautiful people in beautiful places. Only complaint is that I’m so sad that it’s ended- thanks so much Sail Croatia ❤️❤️
- Jordan, 13/06/2025 11:58, Travelled Solo
Had the best week ever on Penelopa, made friends for life and life long memories! Ceili was great and the crew were so accommodating and went above and beyond every day, especially Alex, Charlie, and Ivan! Couldn’t recommend this week more!!!
- Nicola, 12/06/2025 18:04, Travelled Solo
This was hands down the best vacation ever! We met so many great people, the crew was awesome and Croatia is beautiful. If you have the opportunity to do a Sail Croatia cruise don't pass it up. There were so many things we still want to see & do....we will be back!
- Mary Jo, 12/06/2025 11:45, Travelled in a Couple
Staff were exceptional. Fellow travellers were inclusive and lots of fun. All our requirements were promptly me. Food plentiful and varied. Excellent trip all round. Would definitely recommend.

My family and I had an incredible week on our private sailing tour from Split to Dubrovnik. The communication was excellent every step of the way and we would hands down do it again! We feel extra lucky to have been paired with our skipper, Linda. She worked with us to create an ideal itinerary based on our goals for the trip and she had excellent recommendations every stop of the way. We loved exploring the beautiful islands of Croatia this way. Would highly recommend this unique experience for your next vacation!
- Sophia, 12/06/2025 00:34, Travelled with Family
Had the best week ever, sailing Croatia. Stopped at beautiful locations, met lifelong friends and made everlasting memories!! Ceili was the best rep throughout the week making the experience even better. The crew were wonderful & super accomodating. I will most definitely be recommending Sail Croatia to everyone I know!!
- Ella, 11/06/2025 20:30, Travelled Solo
Sail Croatia made our week of cycling and sailing the Croatian islands amazing. The staff were great and our fellow travellers were all very easy to travel with fun to get to know . They were organized and the food was terrific. I was worried I wasn’t fit enough but I did well on the bikes.
- Files , 11/06/2025 19:06, Travelled with Family
My entire family loved cruising from one beautiful Croatian island to the next and touring around each stop on e-bikes. We got to see much more of each island than if we had hiked or just stayed overnight in each port town/city. The crew & guides are lovely people: professional, friendly & kind. Matilda & Sardan are also skilled bike riders who were patient & accommodated all the varied skill levels. They were knowledgable about each stop, offering wonderful suggestions for dining & site-seeing while on our own to explore. We met wonderful new friends and enjoyed traveling with every single person on our boat. This trip was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish - I can't recommend it enough! My family and I are still stunned at the many incredible views we biked to and the fun of having an active vacation and meeting great people while enjoying wonderful food and wine and exploring so much of beautiful Croatia. We are SO glad we went on this unforgettable adventure!

Brilliant trip in Croatia with Cruise and great cycling on the island hills and coast and awesome swim stops in crystal clear waters. The guides Ivan and Lucija were top rate with great cycling guidance and history and information on where we were. and we’re really friendly. The food was so tasty from chef Ivana (top class), and Andre was always on form and looking after us with our post ride refreshments. Christiana kept the boat management smooth and friendly, and Captain, and Sailors Randy and Ivan were super helpful. Thanks all for one of our great trips, and to all our new pals we shared it with. Tim and Paula.

Had a blast this week and couldn't fault anything. Incredible service from the crew and delicious food from the chef. Marin was so helpful and made sure we all had the best time!
- Molly, 11/06/2025 12:53, Travelled Solo
Had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. Marin and the crew were absolutely fantastic with everything, always looks to make the cruise memorable and fun. The places we visited were so beautiful and the swimming spots were amazing. Food and excursions were also worth it. Great trip.
- India, 11/06/2025 12:39, Travelled Solo
From the moment Sail Croatia began, Marin and Augustin greeted us with a smile and warm smile that made me feel very welcome as a solo traveller. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of one of the most incredible weeks of my life!! My other passengers were nothing short of some of the best, funniest and kindest people I have ever met. Quickly we all became best friends. Leo, Chef Marin, Toppa and Captain all made the experience absolutely amazing with their expertise and skill in everything they did. The week ran so smoothly thanks to the crew, and I cannot believe how quickly it all went. Pretty much we woke up, ate, swam, party, repeat! The week was an absolute dream and I am so grateful for the experience ❤️ Don’t hesitate, just book it. Absolutely worth the money!!
- Ciara, 11/06/2025 12:29, Travelled Solo
I had the best time on sail Croatia filled with new friendships and fun! The crew on board worked above and beyond to deliver the best service and ensure we all could have the best experience! Our rep, Marin had a lot of respect for each of us and provided support whenever needed. He was very experienced and informative when discussing the upcoming plans/ excursions at lunch, giving recommendations and personal opinion, and he became a good friend to us all. Credits to the chef- the food was delicious and catered for vegetarian (we were well fed!) and our bartender Leo, who made sure we were having fun and knew how to party in the evenings! Of course, we couldn’t have done it without our captain and skipper getting us to all of the beautiful islands and taking us to amazing swim stop places! Overall, the crew helped make my week the best it could be and I couldn’t have asked for a better team!
- Beth, 11/06/2025 11:08, Travelled Solo
The staff on board the Afrodita made our holiday so special. Lucija and Evan our guides were fantastic! They went above and beyond to make our all our time fun and enjoyable! They were professional and yet authentically friendly. We were so lucky. The crew, magnificent! Andre was a doll and helpful and attentive and our chef ….like Wow! All crew was friendly kind and worked hard to make us comfortable and safe. I loved the itinerary and our daily cycle time and challenges. I wish i had an upper cabin but it wasn’t available as i booked later than others. The e bikes were great. Thank you to all

We had a fabulous trip made special by being on the superb immaculate Katarina with an excellent crew. Our host from Sail Croatia was Kara who was outstanding at her job and made everyday a fun and enjoyable experience!
- Nicola, 11/06/2025 10:15, Travelled with Family
We sailed through the Tuna boat, and had a great time enjoying the beautiful land & seascapes of Croatia, from Split to Dubrovnik and back to Split! Our tour manager, Marin, was very fun and accommodating to every guest. He gave us a lot of tips where to go and made sure we had a great week on board. Will definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to have a memorable Croatian summer experience.

Had a great time on the Navigator as a solo traveler. Shoutout to Johnny for making the week go as smooth as possible!
- Grace, 11/06/2025 09:05, Travelled Solo
Our representative Ivicia, he was the best and made the whole experience amazing. You felt safe with him, he was very well organised and informative about the activities and local insights. He fit in as a part of the guests and very comfortable and fun to be around, highly recommend him, he deserves a promotion, best guide on all the sail Croatia cruisers we seen and met. Thanks for everything ‘Johnny’!
- Deandra, 11/06/2025 09:02, Travelled in a Couple
Such an amazing group of people with a great environment fostered by our rep, Marin. The destinations were always so amazing and Marin gave perfect recommendations to have the best time. I felt safe the entire time which allowed everyone to have more fun. I would recommend this experience to everyone
- Sarah , 11/06/2025 07:38, Travelled Solo
We had a fantastic time on Sail Croatia, Queen Jelena. The ship itself was spacious and comfortable with plenty of outdoor seating. Our cruise guide Ioana was very dedicated to ensuring all the passengers had an amazing time. The food was delicious and plentiful. We loved the swim stops and the Captains Dinner was a great night. We only had 25 passengers on our cruise and our cabin below deck was comfortable and enough space for our 7 night journey.
- Cathryn, 11/06/2025 07:35, Travelled in a Couple
I had an amazing experience! Marin made sure everyone was having a great time and constantly checked in to make sure we were all okay. Marin was super friendly, attentive, and really went out of his way to guide us to the best spots. His energy and local knowledge made the whole experience even better. Tin tin also was also super friendly, caring & amazing the whole time! The chef deserves a huge shoutout, the meals were absolutely delicious. Leo the bartender was the best, he kept the vibes high, made sure everyone was having fun, and was super efficient. I will miss the crew massively.
- Anonymous, 11/06/2025 06:53, Travelled Solo
The whole e-bike sailing trip was a hit from the moment we arrived. The welcome from the crew, to the bar & kitchen crew and most importantly our guides for our ride each day. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented! Our guides were so helpful and their communication about our rides each day were clear and conscientious of making sure everyone understood were we would stop for a break or photo opportunity. Safety was key! It was a treat to have some challenging times on the bikes as we got to see some incredible views and scenery.. If you enjoy a bit of fitness with history and fun, I highly recommend this trip! So great full to all the staff and we also had amazing weather and our group was the best!
- Loretta, 11/06/2025 06:02, Travelled in a Couple
I was worried to try a cruise as i get car sick but it was awesome! There was no problem as we were slow and smooth sailing! So happy for the Elegance Cruise. We loved every day! The rooms were so clean and comfortable, meals were excellent and we had a fabulous tour Manager Klara and an awesome bunch of passengers to travel with, we came as strangers and left as friends! Croatia was so beautiful and we loved every stop! Weather was perfect! Captains dinner was great with live singers/guitar players! Highly recommend!! We swam everyday and enjoyed our trip so much!
- Angela, 11/06/2025 05:39, Travelled in a Couple
When everyone asks me if I would do it again, the answer is always "100% YES!" I am even considering dates for next year to bring my mom along on an Explorer cruise! Sail Croatia has been doing this for so long, everything is planned and mapped out perfectly. The entire time I felt safe, and excited about what adventure was coming next! I travelled as a 30 year old solo traveler, and it was just the perfect trip for me to do. This one the trip of a lifetime, and was made even more special by our boat manager and guide, Marin. One of the first things he said to me was how his favorite part of the job was connecting with the guests on board and making lifetime friendships. He was always looking out for each and every guest, which can be hard when managing 30 or so people and their requests! Marin even had the one vital thing I didn't bring with me - a hairdryer. To say is he prepared and ready to help in any way he can is an understatement! Don't regret not doing this trip!
- Blaine, 10/06/2025 21:00, Travelled Solo
After travelling solo for several weeks this was a great way for me to explore the islands without having to organise anything myself. I had a great group of 20 fellow travellers, enjoyed lovely bays to swim off the boat and interesting hikes (at times challenging due to the heat) . The food served on board was excellent, and all of the crew were friendly, helpful and very professional. I really enjoyed my time on board the 'Mali Luka' and can understand why several people on my cruise had previously sailed with Sail Croatia.
- Kim, 10/06/2025 18:36, Travelled Solo
Five stars to all the crew and guides in our tour. The friendliness and efficiency to make sure we were all taken care of in every need was amazing! The food on the boat was lovely. Learned a new favorite beer( Radler). First time e-bike and I was very glad. All help rendered as needed , from giving daily overview of day to end if day path. Captains dinner was amazing! I loved this format of sailing and biking as we saw sights that you would never see in a traditional bus tour. Thanks to all who made this possible!
- Judy, 10/06/2025 08:43, Travelled in a Couple
Our week spent on Sail Croatia - Almissa boat - was a wonderful experience. The boat itself was very adequate with plenty of room in the cabin, lounge areas dining areas. Our tour guide Anita was so lovely and friendly and had all the fabulous activities so well planned and organised and provided so many options outside the organised tours. Nothing was ever a problem for her. We were able to visit the blue cave only because of the boats captain and Anita knowing the weather patterns and logistics to reach that area. The cave was one of the the highlights of the tour for me. Good aboard was great and overall we couldn’t ask for more, May 2025
- Catharina, 10/06/2025 08:34, Travelled in a Couple
The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.
- Carrie, 09/06/2025 17:31, Travelled with Family
We had a wonderful week on the Princeza Diana with our guides Calum and Josip. As guides, their styles were very different, but the combination complimented our group nicely. This vacation was the best way for us to enjoy all Croatia has to offer…. So much beautiful scenery, flowers, and history. Cruising along on our e-bikes was a sensory over-load in the best possible way. The worse thing about the week was that it had to end.
- Elaine, 09/06/2025 17:08, Travelled in a Couple
The people. The crew and the guides.

We had a great experience with Sail Croatia and would absolutely recommend to our friends and family! Ivana, our tour manager, was so helpful during our cruise! She offered great advice, answered all our questions and gave a great overview each day of what we could expect. I really appreciated all of the communication throughout our cruise week. The crew on the Tempera was great as well! Our lunches on board were fantastic as well. We were definitely well fed by the chefs.
- Lindsey, 09/06/2025 13:20, Travelled in a Couple
Ivana and the crew were absolutely wonderful and made this experience a must to do when in Croatia. Everything went smoothly and timely and was well organised. I can’t praise our tour Manager Ivana enough. She went out of her way many times to give such in-depth information and arrange excursions and activities for us that was far above what was expected or required.
- Kaz, 09/06/2025 13:17, Travelled Solo
Sail Croatia was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. The staff were absolutely incredible- so loving, kind, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You could tell they really cared about our experience, and that made all the difference. The boat itself was immaculate. Everything was kept so neat and tidy throughout the entire week, and it truly felt like a floating home. But what made the trip even more special were the people. I met some of the most amazing souls – people who started as strangers and became true friends, and even family. There's a unique bond that forms when you’re sailing, sharing meals, and cycling long miles. I can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for the memories, the friendships, and the magic. I’ll treasure this forever!
