I had the best week of my entire life while on Sail Croatia. Tim was amazing and I could not have asked for a better guide. The staff was also so amazing and helpful throughout the entire week.

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!

We had an incredible time on the new boat Marvel! It was spacious and had everything we could possibly need to enjoy our week on the sea. The flotilla week was a perfect balance of swim stops, relaxation, exploring island towns and gearing up for a night out. All of the skippers, Mario, Matea and Nevis were fabulous - we loved our skippers meal & connecting with new people/skippers. Mario even had me driving the flotilla throughout the week which was pretty awesome to learn & an experience I’ll truly never forget! It was very sad to leave!

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 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 .

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.

1. Sanja and Dora were Fantastic! They made an amazing team. They were both very engaged with we clients, very animated, very thoughtful and knowledgeable. They both clearly love their job and enjoy working with each other,, which adds to the experience. 2. The captain and crew of the Emanuel - also Fantastic. They were very attentive to our needs. They were also very engaging and enjoyable to talk with. 3. This was a total luck of the draw, but the other passengers we traveled with really made the whole trip amazingly enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed everyone else and there was no drama! Overall a wonderful trip which we will repeat!!

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!

I went on this trip not knowing what to expect. It ended up being such a fabulous experience! Our lovely rep, Francesca went above and beyond to facilitate group dinners, activities, and options to explore each town we stopped in. The crew took us to lovely swimming spots daily and were friendly and welcoming. Mateo, our bartender, had great energy. He was so helpful and kind. Together they made a great team who exceeded my expectations.

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.

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 🫶🏼

We loved our time on the navigator cruise, it might be our favourite part of our trip so far! We made life long friends and memories. Our host Johnny ( Ivca?) was amazing at keeping us informed and ensuring we were having a good time.

The Crew on Eos were professional & fulfilled their roles with friendliness & care. In addition the cycling crew had safety in mind all the time whilst also recognising & catering for different abilities. Jošco was very knowledgeable & informative with local history, nature & the geography of the islands which made our holiday so much more interesting.during the daily cycles. We appreciated the stops for coffee & a swim during the rides. Lovre dealt with a life threatening medical emergency with maturity & calmness whilst also resolving a random conflict with a stranger. Jošco dealt with the logistics of the medical incident with professionalism & care to those involved. Two outstanding employees. I was surprised the cycling crew were not given the cycling ability information we had all submitted - this would have helped them have knowledge prior to our arrival.
- Helen, 14/06/2025 07:04, Travelled with Friend/s
I would like to commend the amazing crew aboard the Novi Dan! To Captain Vlado for sailing us safely through the Adriatic Sea, Toni for ensuring the boat was clean and taking us out for water sports, Lovre for the amazing food throughout the trip, Marko and Adriano for their great service ensuring we always had what we wanted! And to Elena for making sure we got the best out of everything! She was really good helping us get to where we needed to go, recommendations in town and good company! They were an extraordinary team who worked tirelessly day and night to ensure our time on Sail Croatia was an unforgettable experience!

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
Perfect weather! Beautiful boat with excellent staff, nothing was too much trouble.. Excellent food, various diets catered for, and a good range of drinks! But best of all was where we were … from Dubrovnik to Split we anchored in islands of such beauty and grace, so much history and interest and terrific cycle riding with excellent guides - I honestly didn’t want to leave.. Without a doubt I will be returning, with Sail Croatia!!!
- Kate, 13/06/2025 18:21, Travelled with Friend/s
This was a 5 star holiday from start to finish. We had the perfect balance of exercise and free time to relax. The boat and cabins were spacious and comfortable. Lucy & Harris served us the most delicious breakfast & 3 course lunches every day. Our lead guide Josko was amazing! He gave us a daily briefing on the route and was highly organised. I felt so safe while biking on the roads, nothing was left to chance. Josko had so much local knowledge and gave us a taste of Croatian history. We learned about this beautiful country while cycling through some of the most panoramic views I've ever seen. One thing I will say was that any request my group had was accomadated immediately. I fell in love with Croatia and it's people. We are already planning our next trip. I highly recommend Sail Croatia, just do it!!! Nessa Darcy

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 ❤️❤️

We had a great experience on the Split - Dubrovnik sail. Our sail rep Tim was amazing, very welcoming and well organised. He was able to give us all the information about the places we visited and the recommendations for many different things, and advocate for us when needed. The whole crew was amazing, from food and drinks to general friendliness, we are definitely going to miss them all. We had a great group of people on board and Tim was able to keep all 24 of us in line, would definitely do this trip again.
- Lilly, 13/06/2025 11:49, Travelled with Friend/s
A diverse group was bought together by our Reps ability to cater for everyone and ensure we were all involved early on to build connections that continued throughout the trip. Tim’s planning and recommendations were a huge success when leaving the boat. He was able to organise a group of drunk individuals to make it to venues partnered with sail Croatia for ripper drink/entry deals

We were a large group of 8 couples- our ship Eos was a perfect size to cater for us and other guests. Very comfortable cabins and large social spaces. The food was very good and the staff very attentive. We booked the cycling trip - the bikes were a good quality and we loved exploring the various islands on our bikes each day - all very well led by our excellent tour manager Joške. Highly recommend!

My husband andI traveled with another couple. We had a wonderful week. It was our first cruise and I was apprehensive. For me, the small number of people was essential. We were lucky that the other travelers were all kind and fun. And our leader, Anita, was terrific. Always eager to help, fun to talk with and very knowledgaable about so many aspects of being in Croatia.

The staff on the ship were so great and patient with a group of "old" ladies. The food was fabulous! Because I wake up so early, the chef always offered to get me some tea even if it was 2 hours before the kitchen opening. Our guides, Miranda and Anna were exceptional. On the 2nd day, I realized I wasn't going to be able to climb the hills and Miranda offered to give me her ebike. That isn't something that happens very often.

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!

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!

This was our first time visiting Croatia and first time on a small ship cruise. Both exceeded our expectations and we are already planning for a return trip. The Explorer cruise was a perfect, stress free way to explore the stunning islands of Croatia. Our tour guide, Vicko, was great. Always a smile on his face and incredibly knowledgeable of all things “Croatian”. He was always available and assisted us with extras like cabs and dinner reservations . We loved his daily destination talks and his take on which excursions would give our group the best experiences. We traveled with another couple and our Explorer cruise was a great combination of travelers from many countries whom we were able to get to know over the course of the week. I also want to give a shout out to the Salve di Mare crew who ensured we had a fabulous experience each and every day.

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.
