Comfortable cabin. Tasty food. My food preferences were accommodated. Nice tours were organised. Tour operator was pleasant and accommodating. Standard of wine was good.

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.

The staff were wonderful, friendly and professional and very eager to please. The boat was comfortable with sun, shade, and AC. the swim stops were beautiful. The countryside was wonderful. Our unplanned extra time in dubrovnik was handled well. The trip to Montenegro was way to long with the border crossings. The cruise leader was so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and varied. Our whole family aged 21 to 78. Loved every minute. I have told many people about it and have given them information.

The people, our host was exceptional. Staff very friendly. Ship was very comfortable and clean.. the swim stops a definite high light.. so much history to take in. The food was very good although I did hear some say they were looking for more of a variety.

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

This cruise was simply unforgettable! The Olimp is a beautiful boat, and the crew were all fantastic. I loved the daily swim stops and the more relaxed schedule. Our tour guide, Ivana, was very friendly and informative about all the ports we were visiting. The food onboard was very delicious. I would highly recommend a cruise with Sail Crotia!

- Ariana, 26/08/2025 08:12, Travelled with Family
The boat (Queen Jelena), the intinerary from Dubrovnik to Split, the regular swim stops and the food, was all outstanding. However, I also did not feel like I needed a full 3-course sit-down meal in the middle of the day EVERY day. Our tour leader was informative, helpful and lovely. Perhaps the only disappointment was that the boat was half full (in July??) with 12 other passengers : 3 couples and the rest retired single and/or divorced women in their 70s. (I still work and was holidaying solo for a break and some fun). By the 4th night I was feeling trapped in the slow lane and trying to avoid the "horrible ex-husband" stories.. That said, I do recommend Sail Croatia, and I understand you cannot control who books a tour at the same time as you. However I found the Elegance cruise to be better suited to travellers seeking a slower pace.

Our experience with Sail Croatia was simply spectacular. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, the boat was spotless, and the route was breathtaking. The food onboard was delicious every single day, with fresh and varied options that exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Lucija, our guide, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and detail-oriented at all times. She made sure we felt comfortable, well-informed, and enjoyed every stop and activity to the fullest. Her warmth and professionalism truly made a difference. Overall, a first-class experience: excellent service, stunning scenery, delicious food, and a crew that genuinely cares about their guests. I would absolutely recommend it 100%!

We sailed a 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia. The boat is called Katarina & it is part of the Elegance line. Captain Ivan, his staff and the cruise director were so welcoming and attentive. We had amazing swim stops every day, visited beautiful islands and had plenty of time to enjoy them. The boat is beautiful, new, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. I was sad to see the trip end and I would go again, if possible.

Everything came together to create the perfect holiday - the stunning landscapes, the refreshing swim stops, the delicious food, and the beautiful cruise.

Our tour manager, Ioanna, was the shining star of the cruise. She is very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history, top things to do on each island, always goes the extra mile and consistently to ensure guests are well versed in all possibilities, she over delivers on every aspect of the role and has a great communication style, very light and funny. The crew is wonderful as well, very hard working and dedicated to their jobs. The cook staff was incredibly talented, and meals were delicious. And the captain was just lovely. Definitely one of the cleanest sails I have ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Olimp, it’s a family-owned boat and the Captain is the son of the owner.

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.

Crucero de pocos pasajeros, atención personalizada. Excelente itinerario. Lugares qye visita son imperdibles. Tripulación muy atenta y servicial. Especial mención para Dino y Martina que estuvieron dedicados a atendernos, ayudarnos y proporcionando alegría y entretención . Capitan muy experto y fue muy grato participar con él en la noche del Capitan. Sugerencia: tener más elementos inflables para nadar en el mar. Y el día de inicio del crucero realizar alguna actividad para que pasajeros se conozcan.

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.

I had a fantastic time on the Elegance cruise through Sail Croatia! The highlights were the swim stops in the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, the local dinner and wine tasting in Stari Grad, and the mix of both small towns and bigger towns on the route. Vicko, our host, was the perfect mix of friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Croatia is a beautiful country, and as a solo traveler Sail Croatia was a great way to experience it!

Anita was a perfect Cruise Director, and our experience with Sail Croatia, and the Queen Jelena was outstanding. Anita had so many ideas of ways to explore each destination that it was easy to pick the excursion experiences that were right for our family. She was always available for questions, provided endless tips and tricks to optimize our time in Croatia, and was simply delightful to be around. She said we'd leave this week feeling like a family, and she was spot on! Queen Jelena, including the Captain and crew, were gracious, passionate about service, and attentive to our every need. The food was truly EXCEPTIONAL. Hats off to the chef and sous chef...AMAZING food!!! The locations of our swim stops were fantastic. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea at these picturesque, unique little coves is something we will never forget. Thank you Anita, Sail Croatia & the Captain/Crew of Queen Jelena!

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.
