Our crew was fabulous. Lauren ( our tour guide) as well as Cesar and Kafka ( pardoned any misspellings) went above and beyond to make the experience so incredibly joyful and memorable. They showed us the best of Croatia and we are sharing our wonderful experience with all of our friends and family

It was me and my husband’s first cruise. We had a great experience that exceeded our expectations. The boat has a modern decoration, the room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The crew were very professional and friendly. Lola “the cruise director” organized all the excursions and gave us many tips about the best restaurants, bars, and even ATMs, she’s very professional and sweet. I highly recommend Contessa cruise, a 5 stars experience.

We just absolutely loved our cruise. We felt like we had an actual holiday. Spent our mornings cruising to a swim spot and the afternoon and evenings exploring new islands and villages. Food and staff incredible.

Our week on the Sail Croatia Explorer aboard Almissa far exceeded our expectations. Lauren and the crew were amazing, and everything ran so smoothly. The swim stops were beautiful, and the food was always delicious. A special thank you to Bobby and Marko for catering so well to gluten-free dietary requirements - we never felt like we were missing out. A huge shoutout to Ceaser and Kafka for the fun nights, great music, and always bringing the good vibes. The week truly had something for everyone, whether you wanted a social night out or an early night in (or both, like us!). What really made the trip special was the group of guests. There was such a fun mix of people and ages (we're in our mid-20s), and by the end of the week, it felt like one big happy family. We’ve left Almissa with incredible memories and couldn't recommend this experience highly enough.

I had an amazing time sailing with Sail Croatia. A huge shoutout to our trip leader, Lauren, who was fantastic throughout the journey. She had incredible knowledge about every destination we visited and always had great recommendations for things to do, places to eat, and local experiences. Her enthusiasm and expertise really enhanced the trip. The crew on the Almissa were absolutely amazing and made us feel welcome from day one. The service was exceptional, and the food on board exceeded all expectations—it was consistently delicious and one of the highlights of the trip. The overall vibe of the trip was fantastic, with a great mix of relaxation, adventure, and socialising. My favourite part was definitely the daily swim stops. Getting to jump into the crystal-clear Adriatic waters every day was an unforgettable experience. Thank you to Lauren and the Almissa crew. You guys are the best.

Sail week was one of the best things I’ve ever done for vacation. The energy of the crew, the people onboard, the fresh food prepared for us, the beautiful places we stopped and all the activities allowed for a perfect balance of rejuvenation and adventure. Shoutout to Mario and all the crew on Almyssa for blowing my expectations for this week out of the waters!

We booked the Explorer cruise aboard the Contessa with Sail Croatia expecting nothing more than a floating hotel and an efficient way to explore Croatia's islands. What we didn't expect was to love it so much! We chose the Contessa because of its recent retrofit. The ship felt brand new: modern, elegant, and relaxed. Our cabin was even larger than many cruise ship rooms, with a spacious walk-in shower. Having read so many bad reviews about some of the older vessels, we were thrilled with our choice, as the Contessa truly stood out. The food was consistently good. Our bartenders Martin and Nino quickly learned everyone's preferences and delivered incredible service with warmth, personality, and remarkable attention to detail. Anita, our Cruise Director, kept everything running seamlessly from start to finish. From daily itineraries and restaurant recommendations to helping guests make the most of each island, she never missed a beat. She knows how to create an unforgettable experience.

We scheduled our Sail Croatia trip hoping for a Family Adventure and it was SO MUCH MORE than we had even hoped! Croatia was beautiful! Waking up every morning on the Almissa to a new swim spot was epic and the excursions were fantastic! But Without a doubt, the best part was the people…the crew and the 32 new friends that we will never forget! Lauren, our host, was fantastic! She made every excursion seamless, and her brief history of each destination befire our arrival was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Thank you to Kavka and Ceasar for keeping our drinks full and keeping us laughing! ! To Marko and Bobby for the fabulous food and sensitivity to a dairy allergy. To Geo and Chapo for making sure we were safely docked, and ready for our daily swims. And to Captain Joseph for manning the helm safely! And to all of our new friends who started out as shipmates and ended as friends! What an adventure to remember!

Fabulous family trip with brilliant crew and fantastic cruise director. The 7 days we spent with Sail Croatia on an Explorer cruise on the beautiful Contessa is an experience I will long remember. Anita, our cruise director kept us updated every day and was super helpful with any request we had. Thank you Anita- your knowledge of our destinations, recommendations and patience was outstanding. Bar staff, Nino and Martin were good fun and always keen to help. Thanks for the card game lesson! The rest of the crew were also helpful and responsive to any requests- food was consistently very good and catered for our meal preferences. Great tour options at each location. Looking forward to an opportunity to travel with Sail Croatia again. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing! Contessa boat is beautiful. Lower deck cabins are spacious and the ensuite bathrooms are gorgeous. Explorer cruise provided a great mix of activity, fun and relaxation. We enjoyed bike riding, zip lining and kayaking as well as relaxing in the roof top spa and drinking cocktails! Croatia did not disappoint and we couldn’t fault the Sail Croatia staff. Great friendships and memories formed. Highly recommend!

What an incredible sailing experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely fantastic. The tour manager Anita was outstanding,professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure every guest had the best time possible. Her warm hospitality set the tone for the entire trip. The crew members were equally impressive. Friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile, they made everyone on board feel right at home. and always on hand whenever you needed them. The ship itself was in excellent condition; spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and a truly comfortable vessel to sail on. Everything about the experience exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend this sailing trip to anyone looking for a memorable time on the water.

Salve di Mare is a beautiful boat. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The lunches were delicious. Our guide Nikos was wonderful. He had recommendations for bars and restaurants and was helpful with the excursions. We had a small group and enjoyed all the guest on the boat. I cannot think of a better way to see the coast of Croatia. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve di Mare.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our 7 day Explorer cruise, aboard the Contessa! The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make everyone on board happy and comfortable! Communication was prompt and efficient and we always knew what was up next on the agenda. We loved that you could choose to excursion with the group or go explore each stop on your own. A must do trip!

The whole week was wonderful and I am definitely going to recommend it to friends. It was a very relaxing combination of swim stops and activities. The rooms were a good size, the food was excellent and the crew lovely. It was a very enjoyable week and very sad to have to disembark. Only suggestion I have is please take card payments, especially for paying the bar bill. I think people would make more use of the bar if they weren't trying to make thei

OMG… this trip was AMAZING! I found Sail Croatia on Google, from my very first enquiry right through to the very last day stepping off the boat, the communication & service were exceptional. My sister & I travelled from Split to Dubrovnik Day 1 unfortunately greeted us with rain, however the crew lifted everyone’s spirits with a welcome drink onboard, cosy blankets & warm hospitality all around. The crew were absolutely incredible, honestly cannot fault any one of them. They all worked so well together as a team. Nikos, the best! He kept us updated daily through both the group chat & verbal briefings, always making sure everyone knew the plans, timings & options available. knowledge of Croatian history & he delivered everything with humour & personality. Captain Frane constantly amazed watching him manoeuvre the boat into each port with such skill. Marco & Vlaho were both hilarious, friendly & absolute joy to see every single day. Julija looked after us/cabins exceptionally. Food Yum!
- Tarica, 29/05/2026 07:10, Travelled with Family
This trip is without a doubt the most relaxing Europe trip we’ve been on. The way Sail Croatia had this trip planned you really don’t worry about anything; food, activities and transportation. Just how much sun time you want to get. Marin, our guide on board, made every decision feel easy! The transparency and care was so evident in the way he did his job. He was always so helpful and fun to talk with. The crew on board Nieksha and Dom were energetic and made us feel well taken care of. My husband and I made so many friends on board, saying goodbye at the end of the week was difficult. It felt similar to when you leave summer camp as a kid. We hope to cross paths again with everyone some day. I would 100% recommend this experience to my friends and family. Oh and do the zip lining if you get the chance! It was breathtaking!

fantastic. We were already excited with 12 friends old and new coming together together to go on Sail Croatia. But the fellow passengers and amazing and fun crew just added to it. 2nd time round in Almissa and was as fab as the first time. Clean, comfortable, good food and a great mix of people and ages. having a new stop everyday was great. we could have kept going at the end of the week. Thanks all xxx

After doing much research my husband and I chose Sail Croatia and the lovely vessel Contessa. The boat is beautiful and cabins are very well appointed and comfortable. The crew was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough about them. They are kind and beautiful people. Calum, Tino, Petra, Charlie, Nenad, Bane, Marko, Joy, Zeljana, and Captain Slavko were wonderful. Whatever excursion you were interested in, Calum would plan for you. He was always there to help you. He took us to fun and interesting wineries! This was definitely a trip I would recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia for having the best boat and crew!

My trip with Sail Croatia on the Almissa was truly the trip of a lifetime. The crew on Almissa - Mava, Kafka, and Ceazer are the best and became instant new friends. Mava is the cool local friend with the best, honest recommendations that truly elevated my experience in Croatia. Kafka and Ceazer behind the bar are the life of the party and kept our spirits high throughout the day and night! The food was delicious and the rooms were clean and spacious. I would 100% recommend to any friend that the best way to see Croatia is by boat on the Almissa.
