I had an amazing time on the Explorer cruise - Split (return). It exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend. Great crew, passengers, ports, and activities.

I absolutely loved this trip! We did the Explorer Split Return on the Almissa. I'm an avid cruiser, but now I'm spoiled and hooked on small ship cruises! It was so nice to have swim stops each day and get to swim right off the bow of the boat in a beautiful cove! Since we overnighted in each port, we were able to enjoy our time there without worrying about getting back to the boat on time! We were docked in the harbor at each port and walking distance to dining, shops, and activities. Food was great and service was excellent. Our cruise director Vin was so friendly and helpful, giving us great tips and advice for each port. My bed was very comfortable and room was clean with good AC! I had an above deck cabin, so I was able to open my window for fresh air, which was very nice since it wasn't very hot during our end of Sept sailing. I would definitely recommend this company and would not hesitate to book another cruise with them if I have the opportunity to return to Croatia!

I must start off by giving a big round of applause to our group leader, Vin, who prepped us everyday to let us know what to expect and where to go when we were sure and arrange all the excursions including the free ones. For those who love the water, the swim stops were amazing, the water extremely blue and clear and it was so much fun. We really enjoyed all the ports, and all of the people were so friendly. We met people from all over the world and it was awesome. Getting to know each other on board the ship. The food was awesome and plenty of it! It was a wonderful vacation and we would gladly do it again! Thanks a bunch, Gina and Janna

Sailed on the beautiful boat Salve di mare. My home for for 7 nights. Above and beyond my expectations. The boat and crew were impeccable and made us feel welcome. The weather wasn't kind to us every day but all efforts were made to keep us happy. Off shore excursions were varied and there was something for everyone. All round a wonderful time and my only suggestion would be to stock up on more breakfast teabags . I hope to travel again with Sail Croatia.

The boat was beautiful with a friendly and hard working crew and the cooks prepared delicious food (including the daily breakfast buffet), amazing island stops, swimming/relaxing/exploring every day, etc. and all was communicated through our awesome tour manager, Klara. 5/5 stars-would recommend!!

I had an amazing and unforgettable experience on my Sail Croatia Explorer trip from Dubrovnik to Split. The accommodations were just as I’d hoped, the food was plentiful, fresh, and delicious, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. In particular, our cruise guide, Dino, was outstanding—sharing endless insights about the islands, activities, excursions, and even the best restaurants to try. I’ll gladly recommend Sail Croatia to family and friends and look forward to booking another trip with this customer-focused company in the future.

Such a great week on the Almissa. Dino and the crew were fantastic !!! Loved it
- Karen, 29/09/2025 18:54, Travelled with Friend/s
We travelled from Dubrovnik to Split on the Salve Di Mare in early September. The crew (Vlaho, Marko and Monika) were attentive and friendly and excellent at their jobs. The kitchen staff were brilliant producing delicious 3 course lunches on a daily basis! Vicko was a fabulous guide and was approachable and informative. The boat was luxurious and the activities were great, although the swim stops in the secluded bays were a highlight for me! Our fellow shipmates from around the world were wonderful, making for an exceptional holiday!
- Angela, 29/09/2025 00:19, Travelled with Friend/s
The crew looked after us so well. A big mention goes to our tour host Klara, and bar staff Blaze & Marco. Also Monica along with the Captain and sailors made our experience fun, enjoyable, and personal. The meals prepared by the chefs were delicious. Moving between the islands and docking at each port was done with great precision. Our swim stops were unforgettable.
- Lyndall, 28/09/2025 17:05, Travelled with Friend/s
The shipmates were great and the crew was outstanding! The food was very good and the cabins were much better than expected. I loved the itinerary, the daily swim stops and ports. Croatia is divine and there is no better way to see than on the water. Hana our tour guide was fantastic and always attentive as well as the crew (bar and food). I am already missing this beautiful country! Looking forward to returning in the near future! 10/10 for sure!
- Wanda, 25/09/2025 13:11, Travelled Solo
The meals were fabulous. Victo was extremely knowledgeable and really helpful. The swim stops were amazing The whole week was outstanding Highly recommended
- Amanda, 23/09/2025 03:52, Travelled with Friend/s
Travelling on Salve Di Mare with Klara as our host exceeded all our expectations! The ship itself is divine large enough to afford everyone their own space but small enough to get us into the most amazing swimming spots and awesome island ports. The rooms are fabulous the food sublime and the crew wonderful! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure our whole experience was 5 star! Our whole group felt it was a trip of a life time! After seeing other yachts in different ports Salve Di Mare was by far the best! Sail Croatia, Capt France, Klara, Vhlaho, Marco and all the crew we will talk about you for years to come! Simply the best!

A dream come true! What an incredible week myself and 5 friends had on the Sail Croatia Cruise from Split to Dubrovnik in September 2025. Weather was great, food incredible and the crew were so friendly and approachable. Nothing was a problem. We had a great bunch of passengers ranging in age from early 20’s to early 70s. Everyone mixed easily and also participated in onshore activities if they wanted to. The activities on offer were varied. Diving off the back of the boat was ‘A DREAM COME TRUE’ . Will hope to come back one day and would pick this exact same size and boat. Karen from Australia

Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the boat was clean and well run. Our tour leader Dino went out of his way to organise amazing extra activities and book restaurants etc. when requested. Particularly enjoyed our tour and meal in the village on our stop in Korcula. I didn't think the wine tour was really worth the money but enjoyed the other activities especially our swim stops in idyllic little bays. I was sad to say goodbye to Dino and the crew..
- Susan, 22/09/2025 16:01, Travelled with Friend/s
The crew were outstanding and very accommodating. The pace and size of the group was always personal and a great mix of people from around the world. I would sincerely recommend this trip to anyone. We visited so many islands which otherwise would not be reached by your usual cruise ships. Croatia is spectacularly beautiful and our experience was simply amazing!! It will forever be cemented in our memories. Thank you to crew at Almissa for giving us these wonderful memories. You were outstanding.
- Carl, 22/09/2025 10:02, Travelled with Friend/s
The Dalmatian islands were so beautiful! Hana our tour manager was outstanding.. She was also always available and prompt in responding back to our questions.. she is a great asset to your company.. the food was great/chef excellent. The crew members had a great sense of humor and were fun to be around.. Cesar and Kristina were very attentive serving food and drinks. I would recommend this trip to everyone..
- Anita, 22/09/2025 06:24, Travelled with Friend/s
Highly recommend this cruise. Food was amazing. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Tour organiser Dino was very knowledgeable and all his recommendations regarding places to go and eating places were on point. Plenty of relaxation time and you could either choose to do extra activities or keep relaxing if you prefer.
- Elizabeth Mead, 22/09/2025 04:19, Travelled with Friend/s
We had a perfect week on Sail Croatia! We loved every minute. The tour manager and crew were excellent, food was fantastic ( we may well be slightly heavier than when we got on 🤣) We we lucky enough to have a fantastic group of like minded people and together with all the crew, it made for one fun week that will stay in our memories forever ❤️

Sasa and the crew made our trip great 👍 All were always attentive and knowledgeable about all aspects of our journey. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more !!
- Merrie , 09/09/2025 11:20, Travelled with Friend/s
I’ve just returned from an Explorer holiday on the Tempera. It was just excellent. We had a fantastic guide who was knowledgeable and very engaging with all the guests onboard and even if you ran into him onshore he took the time to point out the best spots to visit. The chef onboard was very good with the dining room set out with four large tables so you got to meet everyone over breakfast and lunch each day. Excursion offered each day were really fun too and very good value. And the bar onboard was well stocked and run very well by two bar staff at all times. We had a lower deck room and the steps were quite steep so keep to flat shoes. But honestly I would 100% recommend this trip and boat. Thank you Sail Croatia for a fabulous week.
- Tonia Gill, 09/09/2025 07:18, Travelled with Friend/s
As a first time solo traveler I could not have been made to feel more welcome. The crew and tour leader Sasa made me feel at home as soon as I got on board. The food was sensational and all the crew worked really hard to look after everyone’s needs. Sasa organised all our tours, dinner reservations etc, he is amazing . Highly recommend 😊
- Pamela, 08/09/2025 19:43, Travelled Solo
And what a trip it was! Toma was very thorough in his daily briefing, speeches and messages. Period very quick to respond to questions. The food on the ship was amazing- the chef is a wizard with sauces. Marco and Vlaho were attentive as waiters and bartenders. We had someone with a dairy allergy in our group and Marco never mixed up her meals. Monica, the maid, bartender and waitress was a delight. The captain was charming at dinner. And I especially enjoyed a chat. I had with him one evening up on the deck. Well, I did not get to know any of the sailors. They were obviously pros at their jobs and always had a smile in a hello when you passed them. The size of the ship allowed you to get to know all your fellow passengers. There was a good mix of onshore activities and the ability to pick and choose and create your own holiday. I highly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Debi, 08/09/2025 18:38, Travelled with Friend/s
The crew was great. The boat was comfortable and immaculate. The Captain kept us safe and took us to many amazing swim spots. Sasa, our tour manager, was awesome. Had lots of tips and recommendations. He was very easy to approach. We loved our trip, thank you!

The Mali Ante crew and tour manager were wonderful. The chef prepared amazing food. The crew kept everything running smoothly and clean. Our tour manager made everyone feel included in the group and was always available via mobile. It was a great holiday and would highly recommend a vacation on board the Mali Ante with its crew.

I was on the boat Mali Ante, and had a great time with the crew. The crew were friendly and helpful, and we even had a disco night. The food everyday was awesome too! Saša, our tour manager was great in offering tips to do on the stops, and organising cocktails/coffe places for us to bond with each other. Will do this again!

Our Guide, Vicko, and all the crew on Salve de Mare made my Sail Croatia experience a holiday to remember. The knowledge, information, opportunities and service were second to none. The boat itself was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and no request was too big for the Crew. Highly, highly recommend the Dubrovnik to Split sail with these guys.
- Nicole, 02/09/2025 05:25, Travelled Solo
This was such a great trip, I travelled solo but it didn't matter as the small number and nature of the cruise made it easy to meet everyone. The islands are beautiful and the swim stops were perfect. Dino was an excellent cruise leader and together with the fabulous Almissa crew, made sure everything ran great and we were well informed, I will definitely recommend to friends and probably do another cruise in the future,
- Manda, 01/09/2025 17:49, Travelled Solo
Loved my experience sailing Croatia with Guide Ioana and crew! From Mario's charm to Ivan & Son's bar wizardry, and the chef's culinary masterpieces, every moment was unforgettable. The captain's navigation skills were impressive, and my cozy lower-deck cabin exceeded expectations. Swim stops in crystal-clear waters and secluded bays were pure bliss, and island stops were breathtaking. The group on board became like family, and Ioana's guidance added depth to our journey. If you're considering sailing Croatia, stop thinking and start booking - this crew knows how to create unforgettable experiences!" I’m still smiling days after I left the boat .
- Giuliana, 25/08/2025 08:47, Travelled Solo
We had such an amazing time on Tempera with Anita and the wonderful crew. Everything was so organised and the food was so delicious, special shout out to Max, but all the crew were amazing and really took care of us. We were lucky enough to have amazing weather and were able to stop at all islands on the agenda. The buggy rides in Korcula were a highlight for me, but all the activities were fantastic. I would definitely return again, and recommend this to anyone who wants to see some of the islands of Croatia with ease. Thanks!
- Chloe, 22/08/2025 23:46, Travelled with Friend/s
I traveled on the Tempera with a group of friends in August 2025, sailing from Dubrovnik to Split. We had an AMAZING time getting to visit the different cities and islands - the flexibility of the itinerary to accommodate weather turned out to be one of the best aspects of the trip, because it allowed to us to explore places and activities that otherwise wouldn't have been available to us (e.g. ziplining in Omiš). The tours and activities coordinated by Sail Croatia were top notch and offered a wide variety of ways to experience the country, from wine tours to canyoneering. Our guide Vic was so personable and knowledgeable about each of our stops, and the entire crew of the ship from the kitchen/bar to the deck were absolutely wonderful (and went above and beyond to help me when I tripped and fell!) The cabins and ship were very clean, though the heat proved tough for the AC at times. The food was incredible, the drinks were great, and overall, this was well worth every penny.
- Courtney, 22/08/2025 15:09, Travelled with Friend/s
This was an experience I will never forget! Croatia is a gem and Sail Croatia is the best way to see the Islands. The Crew and the Rep on the Tempera (Dubrovnik to Split) were phenomenal. VK, the Rep, was full of information and made the destination meetings really interesting. The Crew on the boat were only too happy to listen to any requests anyone had. The boat was comfortable and the group of like minded traveller will remain friends for a long time, if not for life. The daily swim stops were, not only beautiful but, a really good way to get to know our fellow travellers, as were the wonderful breakfasts and lunches provided on the boat. If I had to pick one highlight (there are so many) it would be the Zipline, Omis. The guides were brilliant and patient and the views were sensational..Oh and it was so much fun. The only low light (for me) was the wine tasting in Stari Grad. Just too many groups there for one host to manage so we were a bit ignored!

My friends and I traveled on the Tempera on an Explorer cruise in August 2025, and we had a wonderful trip! The accommodations onboard the ship were great, and both Vicko (our tour director) and the Tempera staff were fantastic. Vicko was the best possible cruise director: he was knowledgeable, honest, and super kind, and he really helped us plan our port adventures. As a vegan, I was a little worried about the food onboard, but the kitchen & bar crew (especially Max) really went above and beyond to take care of me. Every member of the ship's crew made sure my friends and I had a fun and memorable trip. Really loved getting to know the other passengers onboard too!

My friend and I travelled on the Queen Jelena from Split to Dubrovnik on the navigator cruise. This had to be one of the best experiences of my life. Dino, our trip leader, went above and beyond. He had fantastic food recommendations for each island, as well as tips for what to see and do and incredible knowledge of Croatia. He took excellent care of everyone on board! He was amazing!! The crew were also fantastic. The food was delicious! And the boat itself was beautifully designed and very comfortable. We also had an amazing group of people to travel with and we so enjoyed getting to know all of them and listening to their travel and life stories. We will definitely be staying in touch. I cannot give Dino, the crew and the captain enough praise. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for this amazing experience.

Honestly I’m not sure where to even start…I chose to sail solo on the Salve Di Mare and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The host and crew were lovely and fun, the food was fantastic - better than what we even ate at the local restaurants and I met a bunch of people that I think I will stay friends with for life. I can’t fault my experience and hope to do it again someday!

We had a truly fun trip on board of Almissa. Barbara, our tour manager was very helpful and she was a lot of fun to be around. All the other crew members were amazing too: our servers Kike and Cezar. They were super nice and funny, due to the nature of their job we interacted with them the most. Special thanks to our chefs Marko and Bobi for the wonderful food we had on board.

I am a 27 year old female solo traveler and I had the best week ever on the Almissa explorer boat! Barbra was our host for the week and it felt like she was a long lost friend. She gave us great recommendations as well as her honest opinions on what to do and not to do in each of the towns we visited. The breakfast and lunches cooked by chef Marko and Bobi each day were phenomenal! The waiters, Kike and Cezar felt like family and already had your name memorized by the end of the first day. Josip the captain and the sailers Ivan and Marko were awesome! Finding the best swim spots each day and making sure it was smooth sailing all week. I can’t recommend this boat and crew enough. I hope to be back next summer!!!!

I absolutely loved my time on the Almissa for the Explorer Cruise. Barbara was an amazing Tour Manager - easy to get along with, informative on all our stops, and was great at getting everyone together. The rest of the crew on the boat were also incredible. Very friendly, great service, and they did a great job taking care of us all! The food was also 10/10! This was a great opportunity to meet other travellers, see Croatia, and do some adventurous activities! I would definitely recommend :) it was sad to say goodbye at the end of the week!

My friends and I made the sail Croatia a birthday trip for me to celebrate in the Adriatic Sea! We had so much fun with our new friends on board and our amazing host Dino. Cesar and Kristina were our lovely bar staff and now have become our friends. We will definitely come back and do this trip again. Dino was very helpful with accommodating our needs and the chefs went out of their way to cater to my allergies. I have so many amazing memories from this week and I will recommend it to my friends in the states. This was the perfect way to see so many islands and coves that big cruises don’t have access to!! My only suggestion would be to have a full length mirror somewhere on the boat :) Thanks for an amazing vacation!!
- Becca, 12/08/2025 09:18, Travelled with Friend/s
I was a little anxious going on this trip as a solo female traveller, but was lucky to have a great group of people who made it a very special week. Sail Croatia have got the balance just right between relaxation and activities. It's a very well organised operation, and Vicko did a great job giving us the information we needed on a daily basis. The Tempera crew were fun and attentive. What our boat lacked in glitz and glamour it made up for with character. The meals were very good, I would have loved to see a bit of steamed green vegetable like chard, beans or broccoli on the plates at lunch. Optional activities were great fun, wine tasting on Stari Grad was a highlight. Whilst the buggy trip on Korcula was fun (and spectacular) it felt rushed, and we had only 20 minutes at the stunning beach for a quick swim. Maybe given the custom that they receive from Sail Croatia they can negotiate more time there? The swim stops were a highlight. It was a great way to see a lot in one week.
- Cat, 11/08/2025 10:02, Travelled Solo
I was pleased to do the Explorer Sail Croatia the past week. I was impressed with the organisation of everything to make the cruise as fun as possible. Ivana was our guide, and she is fantastic. Due to a cancelled flight, I missed the boat departure, but as soon as I got in touch, Ivana guided me on how to get to the boat the next morning. The crew was also excellent, heads up to the chef and Miro. The optional excursion was so much fun. I also loved the boat, Mali Ante. I recommend Sail Croatia 100%.
