This was my first time with Sail Croatia! Definitely have fun memories for life from this week sailing! the people from this group ended up being like a little family especially the girls from my group the girlhood was so special! Every day was a new swim spot in beautiful waters and the ports were so cool exploring when docked, the food on board was quite delicious and the portions weren’t limited. Ola the tour guide of our party boat did a great job in keeping the group updated with recommendations, activities available and each days itinerary!! :) Each night was spent partying in a new spot and was very fun! There were a few birthdays on my week and the crew, captain and people on board were all amazing at making their birthdays feel special and celebrated with cake and birthday drinks and all! As a young person you have lots of fun connecting and partying with people around your age, I recommend! The only downside was the amount of mold spotted in the cabins and aircon vents.

A week full of fun, making new friends and carefree days. What made it even more fun was Bruno! What I did not like was the tipping policy in the end. The tour itself is already expensive and everyone spent lots of money on alcohol during those 7 days, which is exactly what the company wants. We shouldn't be the ones paying people's wages.

Holiday overall was great. Only comments would be to possibly offer other options than just clubs every single night. Everyone understood we were doing a drinking cruise, however seven nights of clubs in a row is a lot! I would’ve loved to have clean linens or at least clean towels offered to us, given that being below deck nothing dried and became very gross mildewy smelling. Lastly, if they would just include what they were feeding us each day, I think that would be helpful. I didn’t have many problems with the food, however being hungover sea sick and then handed mystery food made it a little harder to trust. Just announcing what the meal is would’ve made it a lot better! Otherwise great trip, lots of fun. Just wish swim spots were longer!

My holiday was a memorable experience with my best friend, we had many laughs with new friends and crew members. Marin was amazing, very friendly, professional and on-time, he made sure the day ran very smoothly. I would highly recommend sail Croatia navigator cruise if you are a young individual wanting party and make new friends.

Sail Croatia was such an unreal experience. We had the most fun week and met so many new friends. The staff on our boat the Mlini were so helpful and accomodating, and our host nour was the best. She made the week so fun and smooth and not stressful for us at all. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun time and people who enjoy partying!

I did really enjoy my holiday however I and the rest of my boat were a bit confused why we, as a party boat, would dock and stay in towns with either no clubs or where noise/time restrictions impacted our time and experience greatly. Our crew on big blue were always so fun and gracious. The rep, Diego, put lots of effort to get our group bonding by organising family dinners and always showed up for us, whether that was searching the town for place with working gelato, taking people to multiple pharmacy trips as well as the hospitals.

We had the most amazing time on sail Croatia! Our trip manager was lovely! My only comments would be that on the trip itself there was a lot of hidden costs (bus rides paid in cash, taxes, tips, etc) so we spend significantly more than planned.

Bloody brilliant!!!!!! Nikola was the most amazing rep we could have asked for! So kind, caring and knowledgeable. Very thorough and organised, always going above and beyond to make us feel safe and looked after. He gave us lots of recommendations and suggestions which made our trip even better! An amazing tour guide, friend and host! Shoutout to Darren & Nathan for the amazing meals and banter! My friends and I will miss the sail Croatia team dearly.

Overall my holiday was incredible. The itinerary of the trip was well thought out and the places we visited absolutely beautiful. Our guide Josip was so friendly, inviting and informative. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience on board as well as in every town we visited. I really appreciated how he involved himself in the group and was a central part to everyone getting to know each other so well. The crew of our ship TVRDI were also a highlight, they were friendly, helpful and hard working and we all left feeling so grateful to have got to know them. My only negative experience on sail was the pricing of drinks, activities and recommended restaurants. As young people this experience is already expensive and while I believe the sail itself is well worth it there could be adjustments made to make it more affordable. I would’ve loved to have free or decently priced walking tours included in each place to learn more about the history, culture, and stories.

I had an amazing time on sail Croatia, it’s absolutely stunning and an experience I will never forget. The guests on my boat and the staff made this experience truly unforgettable. Our chef Darren was AMAZING, he made the most incredible vegetarian options going to so much effort even though I was the only vegetarian on board! Our guide Ante was kind and approachable with any questions, and truly wanted everyone to have an amazing time. Having a local guide like Ante made such a difference as he had so much more insight and knowledge than a foreign guide would be able to have. The only reason for a loss of a star was a cleanliness issue on board, but other then that it was perfect!

Sail Croatia was a great experience, allowed us to see the beautiful islands while enjoying the awesome activities that were offered. A great social vibe, our tour guide was great and really knowledgeable and organised allowing us not to think about our day and just enjoy it! the only downfall I would say is the additional costs which can add up especially if travelling before and after! Definitely would recommend, it’s a great week of swimming, exploring and also relaxing!

Sail Croatia was so much fun. I was there solo and there weren’t many other solo travellers but it was so easy to make friends cause everyone was so welcoming and awesome! The crew were PHENOMENAL, great meals attentive waiter (that even rang the bell for us multiple times!). The only thing to be mindful of is there were lots of little cash payments for bus transfers that were optional but also the only real way to get into some cities so it added up. Honestly I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone it was fantastic!
- Sarah, 13/08/2025 04:35, Travelled Solo
I loved how comfortable was. Arriving as a sooo traveller it was scary. But the boat felt like home. I also love how it was definitely worth your money. Breakfast and lunch included! really made things easier. We also had sm time on our hands. I loved going out. Our tour guide was so funny and definitely made it memorable. And we had such a beautiful crew. I got very lucky last week. Now I’m left with post Sail Croatia depression.
- Nadia, 06/08/2025 09:04, Travelled Solo
The guide and crew were great. Was cool to see so many lovely spots in Croatia. The excursions were fun! Food was great! Icebreakers/group games would have been good to make it less awkward and easier for those that are more introverted. Would have been good to have water available at all times.

Our boat manager from sail Croatia, Toni, was exceptionally helpful. Not only did he provide us with excellent recommendations for the various places we were visiting in Croatia, but when I was sick and needed help, he was happy to assist me, which I am very grateful for.

Had an amazing experience on the Big Blue, Francesca was our host and a fantastic one at that! Had a good mix of solo travelers and some groups of friends but in the end we all became a big family. The staff and crew were outstanding and really made the atmosphere inviting, they knew who we were by first name after day 3. Food was incredible and the boat was kept super clean. Couldnt reccomend it more!
- reese, 21/07/2025 03:37, Travelled with Friend/s
We had an amazing experience overall and truly enjoyed every moment of the trip! One of the standout highlights was our guide, Nour. She was absolutely fantastic—extremely well-organised, kind, professional, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone felt comfortable and informed. Her knowledge and calm, friendly presence really made a difference, and we felt very well taken care of throughout. The excursions were varied and really well thought out, offering a great mix of activities to suit everyone. The rooms were also excellent—clean, comfortable, and a lovely place to unwind at the end of the day. If we had to mention anything for improvement, it would be the price of the drinks on board, which felt a bit high, and we would have loved more opportunities for swim stops, as those moments in the water were some of the most enjoyable. That said, it was a fantastic trip overall and Nour’s guidance truly elevated the whole experience. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
- Gabi, 17/07/2025 00:36, Travelled in a Couple
The staff! The staff were lovely and catered to our needs. I went with a couple of friends and we had Lovre and he was great and fully engaged with all of the sail group, couldn’t have asked for better staff. Food was delicious. The showers were less great but overall great trip.
- Bethany, 09/07/2025 17:05, Travelled with Friend/s
I had such a fun week aboard the Penelopa navigator cruise! From amazing food, stunning scenery, daily swim stops, free time exploring the towns, optional excursions and of course daily happy hour and clubbing, it was a great way to see and experience Croatia. Shout out to our amazing crew especially our bartenders/waiters Charlie and Ivan, our chef Robbie and captain Big Daddy and his wife and dog Daisy who worked hard to make the experience extra special. Grateful for our rep Lovre who kept us all organised and in check. He really came out of his shell by the end of the trip and felt like one of the group, making an effort to have fun and socialise with everyone. My highlights of the week were the buggies in Korcula, the bikes in Mljet national park, the daily swim stops and many of the clubs. Only let down was the boat itself being so old and run down - the below deck rooms were tiny and hot and there were not enough showers for the amount of people on board. Doors did not lock.
- Emma, 09/07/2025 12:26, Travelled Solo
The boat itself and bar staff were amazing. The tour guide was late on ship which was fine but when we all boarded she didn’t introduce herself until later that evening and no one knew what was going on a many hours. She only really interacted via WhatsApp to give us a plan of the day but wasn’t until midday so it felt quite unorganised and I didn’t love not knowing what we were doing. She spent a lot of time on her phone, smoking and vaping and wasn’t interactive besides the “crew talk”. I wish it was a bit more organised. However besides that, the bar man kept us up to date always and was very nice and chatty.

I was on the Afrodita ship with Nora as our guide and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Food was great, good service and was with a good group of people. Only thing was wish we had more time to swim than what we got. The triple room below deck was very small for 3 people so would recommend going top deck or splitting groups.

Hi there, thank you for your review — we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your week on Afrodita and that your Rep Nora, along with the food and service contirbuted to this. We appreciate your feedback about the triple cabins, and due to the space shared, we do offer a 10% Triple Cabin Discount to help offset this. We hope it helped make things a bit more comfortable. Thanks again for choosing to travel with us, and we’d love to welcome you aboard again in the future!
We loved our experience on Afrodita! Best week, Nora, our guide was great and super helpful with any of our needs or concerns. Only downfall was the triple rooms on the lower deck really dont fit 3 people comfortably!

Sail Croatia was a fantastic way to see the country at an affordable price. Firstly, I got extremely lucky with my guide, Noura. You can tell how well-versed, experienced, and caring she was in every way. I do not think my review would be the same if I had anyone else. The crew on my ship greatly improved the experience as well, the bartender Mateo was extremely fun and flexible, the chef was super talented and accommodating, and the sailor/captain were very friendly and felt like a part of the group. Overall, I’d come again but I would never choose a triplet. Realistically, it is not a triplet room and should not be advertised as such. The downstairs rooms were more spacious as doubles, literally. Claiming the lower bed is viable for two people isn’t ok, and especially frustrating since we had a smaller group and empty beds that could’ve been offered. Also, the party bus should be chartered. Everyone agreed it was a money grab that the company definitely could afford.

Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Sail Croatia! We’re delighted to hear you had a fantastic time exploring the coastline and that Noura, Mateo and the rest of your crew helped make your trip so memorable. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to them. We're sorry to hear that the Triple room didn't meet your expectations. To help set expectations clearly, our website advises: “On some ships, we also have triple cabins available for guests that are travelling as a group of three and would like to share a cabin. Triple cabins consist of a double bed and a single bunk, and we provide a 10% discount per person for these cabin types. In some Triple cabins, double beds may be slightly smaller to accommodate the additional single bed, meaning these cabins may not be suitable for travellers that require more space. If you would like to book a triple cabin please let us know and we can check availability when you enquire.” All extra costs are indicated in the itineraries on our website, to help customers have an idea of what to expect for their cruise. We hope to welcome you in the future!
My partner and I had a great week on Sail Croatia thanks to Lauren, Mateo and the other crew members. The weather was average but Lauren went above and beyond to maintain morale and organise alternative activities. The crew were very easy-going and friendly and we enjoyed learning about Croatia from them. Our only suggestion is to Sail Croatia directly - we think the itinerary could be improved. The Sail Croatia website states the white water rafting is available on the Split to Dubrovnik tour (which was not the case). We also would have appreciated more time exploring the towns as opposed to spending hours at swim spots.

When they tell sail Croatia is one of the best weeks you’ll experience they aren’t lying!! Met the most amazing people, made the most amazing friends and got to experience some amazing scenery! I’m so grateful for our trip leader Ceili was an absolute legend I felt like she was one of us, she was so helpful, took the time to get to know us all and spent most of her time with us! The crew on the boat were incredible, so friendly, helpful, made sure everyone was happy and also joined us for a good time!

This trip was seriously one of the best experiences ever! We had an amazing crew, a great group of people and we visited some of the most beautiful places! Our ship was so much nicer and more spacious than we expected, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing on those hot days! The swim stops were so beautiful and refreshing and exploring the islands and towns made for a perfect balance of a relaxing and activity filled trip! Dino and the rest of our crew were amazing, they worked so hard to make sure we had the best experience and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Dino was fantastic, he was so friendly and welcoming and it felt as though he genuinely cared about us, taking our concerns seriously and taking care of any issues that came up.

Had the most insane trip onboard the Pacific. Couldn’t ask for more with our tour guide Dino. He was so helpful and went out of his way to assist us in anything we needed. Even when some of the clubs were closed due to local happenings Dino sourced down the next best places to go and helped make the night the greatest it could be 😌😌

There’s wasn’t as many activities as I though there would be. The food wasn’t great and there was no food to snack on aka chips. I feel like since the towels weren’t drying they probably needed to be changed more often. My towel was wet all the time when showering. Sanja was great, crew were all fabulous. Sanja was well informative on each island and was very honest in which activity was better to do which was great.

I definately think our guide Toni made us having the best time ever, he was really good at making the group become one and making sure that we were all having a great time. I find it admiring to see how quick we was at always answering our texts and questions whether it was late at night or during the day and he always made sure everone was safe and good especially during the party nights. He was a real and honest guide who made sure that our money was spent right and we didn't waste anything, giving us good recommendations of what to do see and eat and what not to do. I wanna thank him and sail croatia for a fantastic week!!

Was very happy with the room, both the bedroom and bathroom were decently sized and had good facilities. The food on the boat was really great, we were never hungry. The crew were kind and hardworking. I wish we could’ve been informed on our swim spots more. The boat would just depart from them without notice so you might miss out or jump in without realising we were about to leave. I think our tour manager could’ve gave us better suggestions on what to do in town. Sail is a great way to travel and I really enjoyed my week!

Sail Croatia was good. To make it better I would suggest more effort is put into the socialising of everyone on board e.g group drinking games, getting to know people etc. guided by the host. Also more time at each destination would be good! Not sooo long at swimming spots. Our host Clara did a good job for her first ever Sail!

Boat was a bit ordinary and not what’s in the photos and videos. Food was okay. Advertised that dinner isn’t included so assumed find something ourselves however it was organised every night which felt like we had strict time lines and did not have much freedom to explore. The dinners organised were overpriced and average. I don’t want to be eating Japanese on my first night in Croatia. I want traditional food and seafood!!! The night clubs we were taken too were small and pretty average and some overpriced!! 11€ for one drink is stupid. I also was charged wrong prices for my drinks on board, I ended up having to pay 30€ extra for drinks when I was just charged wrong. Ceili was amazing though! Best rep we could’ve asked for and she made the week so special! Have made friends for life

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your detailed feedback! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Ceili. It’s wonderful to know she made your week special and helped you form lasting friendships. Regarding the dinners, we would like to clarify that while these meals are optional, we understand that many guests prefer to dine together, which is why we organise group dinners. In regards to drinks prices, you are welcome to request a daily bar tab receipt by checking with a staff member. They will happily provide this information and address any concerns you may have. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to making improvements based on your comments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future.
Marin was amazing I hurt myself on the trip and he made sure he was there to support me through getting it sorted at the hospital while also making sure everyone was sorted for their activities. He did amazing thinking on his feet when things had to change and we couldn’t do the original plan. The crew were fantastic helped us we everything we asked them and chief made some awesome meals with the BBQ night our favourite. Unfortunately I was disappointed in the fact that clubs weren’t open and we weren’t offered the activities which were advertised. I think that it’s extremely poor to advertise certain clubs that won’t be open at this time of year that we would miss out on but wouldn’t know that till we got on the boat that needs to be fixed as I would have adjusted my dates.

Hi Rorri, Thank you for your 4-Star review, we are happy to hear you had a good time on-board Tuna and that Marin was an amazing addition to the cruise. We're sorry to hear of your disappointment in regards to some of the nightclubs being closed during your cruise. The operating season of external nightclub providers is subject to change and unfortunately, this is out of our control. In this instance, we will always provide an alternative bar/nightclub option for our guests to experience the local nightlife in each destination. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
We were on the "Big Blue" ship, and to start with the only negative, the ship was smaller then we anticipated. The Navigator Cruise has 2 or 3 ships you can be put on depending on the price you pay. I would describe the accommodation has a hostel on a boat. However, this did not stop us all from having the best week, I would actually say it helped! Everyone was always together having chats, listening to music on the top deck, jumping from the top deck and making a memorable week for us. Lastly the crew and tour rep were all incredible!!! Highly Recommended 🥳

- Kaylee, 27/05/2024 19:51,
The easy answer...YES. However a bit differently... I would recommend going in peak season so the weather doesn't interfere with your itinerary. Be prepared to spend more money than you think! The party cruise is 110% partying every single day...your liver definitely gets a run for its money. Overall your group makes the experience. As a solo traveler I still had the best time and made so many friends/memories!!!!!!!

Sail Croatia was amazing! Trip of a lifetime! I do recommend! Although it was very expensive, the day activities and offered meals on board are very over priced. Although it all is a lot of fun and over all I would do it again!

Our boat itself was fantastic, make sure you book the Gradina. Also a huge shout out to the chef who was fantastic. Our lunches and 2 dinners were delicious. My experience was tainted by the make up of the group, but that is the risk you take with group tours. The activities were the highlight though especially the Mljet national park bike ride.

Loved all the locations and met heaps of friends. Food and chef was great! However crew themselves weren’t the most enthusiastic about the trip particularly our guide/organiser. But you get out what you put in. Overall had a great time!

Had a great, rowdy group which made the week really good and entertaining! So much fun and great memories made! The crew was so lovely, food was yummy! We had 4 deck chairs between the 34 of us and 1 floaty. There were also no spare towels when they blew away while hung up. Those were the only downsides. But overall the girls and I had fun.
- Leanna, 25/08/2023 05:02, Travelled with Friend/s
this trip was amazing! its a well oiled machine, the swim spots, the activities, the nightlife. I'm convinced the only way to see the croatian coast fully is by boat. Im really glad i did the VIP navigator on the salve di mare ship, it was clearly the nicest ship. also the perks were great for the VIP, the food was good, the maid service daily, the ship itself was beautiful. the rooms were even more spacious than expected. i didn't realize this was almost an exclusive aussie trip so that was a surprise, i was expecting people from all over the world. luckily most people were nice and whoever was annoyed by me being american i just kept my distance. i did expect more solo travelers but it was actually a lot of couples. or groups of couple friends. i wish the drinks on the boat were a little cheaper to encourage more mingling on the boat, everyone just seemed to be drinking in their rooms to avoid the prices at the bar.

Sail Croatia was one of the best weeks of my life. We had an amazing group that was all super welcoming and ready for anything. Barb was an exceptional guide that was always smiling and willing to have a laugh with us. The crew on board worked so hard and did not stop cleaning up after us and making sure our drinks were full. Only down side is I didn’t realise how expensive the week would be. Bar tabs, excursions and tips and the end. The week itself is already not cheap and then there was a whole lot of cots that really added up. However, that is just small part. You can make money back but the experience was well worth every penny!

Sail Croatia was fun in general if you like partying everyday. For me was okish, from their social media I expected it to be a lot of swim stops, but in reality it’s very quick morning stop -some of the days then your stuck in port most of the time. They changed our tour around a little bit so we didn’t get to see stari grad. Food quality for price could have been way better, way too much pork/meat and not much flavor, breakfast wasn’t good so I ended up skipping it everyday.. They activities they offer aren’t the best, I think the zip lining was the best but the buggying was not worth the money. The tour guide we had she was very nice but not super informative, but from other people I spoke to seemed we got very lucky with out staff members as other boats girls were getting harassed and bar tabs wrong. Probably wouldn’t sail again unless it was VIP and different cruise type.

Hi Jamie, thank you for taking the time to provide us with a 4 star review! It is wonderful to read you found your cruise to be a fun experience as our Navigator cruise is certainly advertised as a fun, party-focused experience. I am however quite disappointed to see some points did not live up to your expectations. The captains of all of the ships we use retain the right to deviate from or change the itinerary. We try to include a swim stop each day during the cruise which I am pleased to see was indeed included for you. We are sorry that these may have been shorter than you have expected, but we aim to dock into the destination early enough in the afternoon to give our guests opportunities to explore the destination. We appreciate all of your feedback as it is valuable to us and has been passed on to the relevant departments for review. We do hope to have you onboard again soon!
- Sarah, 14/08/2023 11:24, Travelled with Friend/s
The people on the boat were so likeminded and crew did the absolute most to ensure we had a good week. It would’ve been fantastic to stick to the itinerary a little more, and have more things like sun beds/chairs for the time we were on the boat.
- Zaffie, 11/08/2023 09:34, Travelled Solo
Overall had such a fun week with an amazing bunch of people! Ioana our sail leader was incredible and went above and beyond for everyone, she made the trip unforgettable. Loved the boat and swim stops. Due to weather conditions we had a few schedule changes which should have been made up for! But overall was a bucket list trip I’ll never forget!

Not only did we have the most amazing group of people who are now lifelong friends we had the most amazing crew on board. Ante our captain made us all feel very safe and comfortable. Gloria was a darling and always made sure we were fed and happy. Faruk was very knowledgeable and recommended some great activities for all of us within our budgets. Marin and Kula were so lovely and kind and always did Thier best to accommodate our needs. Boshco is an amazing chef and I have been missing his cooking since i left the boat. Will be bringing my friends who missed out back again next year and we will hopefully be onboard Vosicia again. Thank you all for such an amazing week. Xxxx

I had the best week abroad Penelopa with host Caitlin and while I think there are some improvements that need to be made, I still had an amazing time. Caitlin was such a fun, personable and knowledgeable host who was committed to helping us have the best time possible. The boat could do with some improvements, such as the showering facilities and lack of fans in each below deck room, as this made sleeping rather uncomfortable. We also had some changes to our schedule, outside of Caitlin’s control, that were rather disappointing and left us missing out on activities such as kayaking and buggy ing which were all crowd favourites. All in all I had the most amazing week with such a good groups of people who I now call dear friends!
- Caitlin, 07/07/2023 13:51, Travelled Solo
Our rep, Vicko, was not only friendly, passionate, and fun, but he also made sure everyone feels included ♥️ He even joined us partying and tour us around the cities. The entire Salve De Mare crew have been great! They were friendly and know how to spoil their guests with the meals on board. Must admit I felt sad when we left as we had loads of fun meeting everyone. Surely an experience that will stay for a lifetime. ♥️

The people! We weren’t so lucky with the weather with a few rainy days, but the company made up for it. Everyone on our ship were so inviting and fun to hang out with, have definitely made some friends for life. The crew were also amazing! Romeo in particular deserves a raise!! He made this trip the best it could be!

My tour guide Sam. He knew all the places to go and was always organised. He had all the answers to any question and was not only a great leader but a great friend. My favourite part was the swim stops and wished there was more. Could not recommend this experience enough to anyone!!
- Jerri , 16/06/2023 12:12, Travelled Solo
The team were awesome most of the activities were great. The boat was good value for money. Some of the lunches were a bit bland, a second option would be good too. Even if we could decide the day before to avoid waste. Hot showeres would of been nice Wouldnt affect my rating *A group chat before the tour started would be cool to meet other people.
- Vicki, 30/05/2023 21:40, Travelled Solo
What a convenient way of getting to see all the amazing islands off the coast of Croatia! The staff work so hard to make sure everyone is having a good time. A little costly for the food you get onboard but other than that no problems. It’s not a luxurious experience so don’t go into it thinking it wasn’t clean, fancy or spacious enough. You’re on a party boat island hopping and it was just that. Would recommend!!
- Kel, 08/09/2022 16:22, Travelled Solo
The sail itself was amazing, not only were the crew and our host Mia so welcoming and attentive, there was plenty to see! The food on board pleasantly surprised me and we had a swim stop each day. The extra activities are loads of fun however some of them do overlap so you have to choose which one you prefer. If you are looking for more of a party boat definitely book in the peak season as I booked late august and we had a few chillers but that didn’t stop us from having a ball. Overall a great week, thanks again!
- Tayla, 05/09/2022 07:30, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia was really good, great weather and a lot of place to visit. For a big group like I was travelling with I would of rather the rep introduced us all to each other. By not doing this we didn’t really get to know each other until the last night. Where as this should of been the first night, I didn’t know half the peoples names until later on in the trip. Crew was so nice, captain was great got to know a lot about the sail and how it all works. However apart from that it was good!
- Tilly, 31/08/2022 12:30, Travelled with Friend/s
Such a fun way to travel, waking up on the ocean each morning was amazing! Choosing the premiere boat was completely worth it for it’s ensuite and AC.

We had an amazing trip ! The boat was super clean. The crew ensured that the boat was always spotless. The crew was also very friendly and welcoming. Our guide mila was amazing. She was knowledgeable and went out of her way to give us tours of every place we stopped at. She was kind, funny, and made our trip the best it could be. She was organized without making us feel like we were at school. She brought the group closer. The food on the boat was cooked very well. Everyone enjoyed the food so much. I wrote on my application that I was vegan however on arrival it was not known. It would be better if there was better vegan options for me instead of the regular menu without meat. Some days all I could eat was cucumber and tomato. Also the chef used a lot of oil on my food. The food was cooked well but a load of oil was added all over it at the end. I am not used to this and it was hard to eat. Overall a great trip thanks to mila and the mali ante crew :)

Dino our sail leader and all the crew were incredible, Dino was full of great island recommendations for all excursions, swim spots, bars etc so knowledgeable and was apart of the family on our sail! Cared for everyone and ensured the entire fam on the boat was having the best experience ! The crew took care of everything the fam needed and even organised us a bbq meal which everyone craved! Great week and highly recommend!!

Sail Croatia was a unique way to meet people and see Croatia! The Navigator was perfectly suited to us as it was chilled, relaxed and a very comfortable boat. Our experience was made so much better by our guide Karla, who had so much energy, was great fun and super helpful! The staff on the boat were also wonderful. Aside from the prices of drinks on board, we loved our Sail Croatia experience and would recommend it to anyone else who's willing to have a bit of fun!

I wish the boat had aircon in all rooms as my friends didn’t sleep in the heat, it would also be great to have access to water at all times (not lock to water tank away at night!) Over all, an awesome week!

Well organised. Happy with the price. Made seeing Croatia very easy. Tour guide Dino was great. He was friendly, engaging, helpful, shared his knowledge and would explain were to spend money or where you would be ripped off. The breakfast and lunch is a great thing to have on the boat, loved having this, however the food was average. Had risotto 1 day for lunch and it was inedible, the rice was not cooked it was crunchy. The soups on the boat were nice. Alcohol on the body is expensive, 40 Kuna for an apple cider when you can get the same thing at a convenience store for 12 Kuna.

My friend & I were on the Marija Magdalena boat Split rtn Splt tour The whole experience was great, the crew absolutely fantastic, so chill, easy going & fun. And the food was great. Destinations were absolutely stunning. It really is one of the most beautiful countries. Our tour guide was Ioana, genuinely such a lovely person & exceptional at her job. Gave us detailed activities every day via the WhatsApp group with all the info needed.. I was lucky enough to spend my Bday on the boat which all the crew made really special with cake, ballons, banners & drinks. The ship itself had great facilities such as lounge chairs, outdoor eating areas ect The only negative thing I have to say is- 2 of our friends canceled on the day of the tour, we asked if one of us could take the spare room. It came back from the office that this was not possible which was dissapointing. During a pandemic i don't see why this should have been an issue. Experience would've been 5* if they allowed this.
- Kelly , 28/09/2021 10:22, Travelled with Friend/s
The Sail Croatia was a great experience and a good way to travel around many of the Croatian islands and cities, however it was disappointing that given our tour commenced after Oct 1, many activities were closed. Some warning about this would be good to ensure expectations are met. Apart from this, the tour was fun, our leader did her best to give us brief historical overviews of Croatia as well as the various towns we visited and it was overall a positive experience.
- Sarah, 14/10/2019 02:34, Travelled with Friend/s
Hi Sarah, thanks for the review - we really appreciate it! We believe that the best way to truly enjoy the Dalmatian coast is by ship. In October the season is starting to wind down which means that not all bars and restaurants are open in each location, but October also brings some great benefits such as less crowds in tourist destinations and lower cruise prices! We would really love to have you on board again in the future. Thank you again Sarah for your review.
We got on the Big Blu for the 5 day Navigator cruise. It was a lot of fun with a nice balance of activities, partying and relaxing at the swim stops. The boat was kept tidy and clean every day thanks to the boat crew. The crew were very sociable and great fun to hang out with. Shout out to Marko, Hicela and Mateo. I can see a lot of work goes into the smooth running of the sailing week. Would definitley return to the Big Blu.

We do true our best to a good balance of partying, socialising and relaxing, so we are pleased to read you liked the balance of the cruise. Many thanks for adding to an awesome atmosphere on board!
First of all, the sail week it’s self was fantastic! Ivana and the entire boat crew went constantly above and beyond to cater and help us with everything we ever needed! I was seriously impressed with their professionalism at all times! Ivana in particular was just the most amazing tour guide I’ve ever had! There were some major issues in errors made with my booking that were only noticed a few months out which really put a damper on the experience. The solutions they came to were satisfactory however the bus they booked me to get to Dubrovnik arrived after the lunch and welcome speech which was really disappointing as I missed the introduction aspect to the first day.

Split return was amazing! The landscape was beautiful sailing along for the week, we partied at great places every night and the food was more than average considering the tiny kitchen they had to work with. We also paid the extra to be above deck but the fan in our room did nothing with the heat and during the afternoon the sun would beam down on our rooms making it impossible to sleep. I’d recommend going below deck because it is so much cooler down there at night. My only downer would be that out main tour guide was a bit lazy with the group. Compared to previous organised tours, it felt like he would just tell us where to go but had no involvement with us feeling a little disconnected.

The crew was not the friendliest or nicest to majority of passengers on the boat. The amount of tips they expect at the end is ridiculous. If they want tips they should provide better service. They need a better variety of food. You aren’t allowed to bring snacks on and they don’t have any on board. The actual sail was the best week of my life. You go to some amazing places and meet some of the best people. I would do it again but i know what to expect next time.

Hi! Thank you for your review and for joining us this season on board Navigator. We are pleased to read this was the best week with a great bunch of fellow travellers - it would be amazing to see you join us again in the future! I have passed your feedback onto our Operations Manager, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
The facilities, people and crew were everything i expected - sometimes even more! However I had hoped the activities were better explained and organised. I also hoped the food was much better, as I saw many images on Sail Croatia's social media which looked much better than what we got. But most meals were tasty. One thing i did not expect was how late we sometimes arrived on the islands, but again, i can understand that too, so was fine with it. I would just warn others not to expect to do/see too much on the islands as there often isn't much time at all between arrival, dinner and going out. Nonetheless - an experience I won't forget! Thank you :)

This was my second sail. I loved the first one so I came back with my partner. Tea was amazing she made our experience even better. She was present, friendly and approachable. The boat was great as well as the captain. I do however have a recommendation about the bar. On my last sail we each had wristbands where each drink purchased was recorded on a computer system. This time it was controlled by the bar staff on a sheet where I and many of the other guests had been over charged. Even to the point where we took photos for proof and magically the numbers increased over night. I believe the bar tab should be in the hands of the customer and not the staff. This ended badly and effected the overall experience. I felt that it was cheaper and much better to buy drinks on the islands and not on the boat. Ivona was so lovely, Adriana could have been a bit more approachable and friendly. I am speaking as a guest who does not drink much (1-2 drinks a day on board). Thank you for a great time

My Sail Croatia experience was incredible and I would highly recommend the brand to friends and family. The route was well designed for rest days and nights. During nights out I felt very safe at the bars we were taken to. I was extremely impressed with the size of the room and the en-suite. However, the towel provided was an old beach towel which I believe a previous guest had left on board. As well that bathrooms bins and toilet paper should be regularly maintenance. The breakfast and lunch on board was amazing and the crew made sufficient effort to accomodate peoples needs. The paid BBQ on board was overly priced and didn’t meet myself or other guests expectations.Zac did a wonderful job on his first tour particularly ensuring the group felt safe and was having fun. He made a very conscious effort in making sure the entire group got along. As a solo traveller this was particularly welcoming.He consistently asked for feedback and would action any concerns or issues promptly.

We will investigate further regarding the beach towels and maintenance - thank you. We are really happy that you enjoyed the cruise overall and would highly recommend Sail Croatia to others! Thank you :-)
Daniel was a great tour manager and the crew were wonderful on our Split Return South sailing trip. We had such a great week! A favorite part was the swimming stops and if possible, more time would have been appreciated at those. The only other thing I would suggest is more communication. We were told at lunch the various schedules of the day. I think it would help if there was a “day sheet” or some sort of schedule hanging for people to refer to and take a photo of for reference. Contiki uses this and we have found it very helpful.

Hi there - thanks for your review! We're glad to hear you had a great week on your Split Return (South) cruise and enjoyed the swim stops! We appreciate your suggestion on a day sheet, thank you - we will feed this back to our Operations Team!
Great boat and facilities on board, and friendly staff .

Thank you Georgia!
Sail Croatia week was one of the best weeks of our Europe trip. Although prepare your livers - there is a lot of drinking and partying in a different location each night. Great secret swim spots each day to wash away the hangover. Our Sail Croatia host Ivana on the Navigator ship was super helpful and informative! And shout out to our bartender Alena for her positive attitude and always making sure we were having a great time! Would not have been the same without these ladies!

Hi there - thank you for your review of your Navigator cruise with us this season! We really are pleased to hear that your Sail Croatia week was one of the best during your time in Europe. Great that you enjoyed the swim stops! I'll be sure to pass your kind words onto Ivana and the rest of the team on board, it's amazing that they made the trip for you :) Thank you!
Weather was amazing, our Captain took us to the best swim stops everyday (Go Tuna) which cured the hangover really fast, food was good, people were great, dinners were nice and the bars were very cool and quirky. Would have loved fans or air con to survive the heat somedays & would rather pay my bar tab as I went instead of lump sum at the end.
- Katrina, 01/07/2019 06:36, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you for your review - we're glad you enjoyed your time onboard Tuna and got to visit some amazing places during your stay with us. We know the weather was really hot during your cruise, as you booked an Ensuite cabin (which excludes air-con) maybe next time book one of our lovely Premier ships to ensure you are kept cool in your cabin with the included air-con facilities. You are welcome to request a copy of your bar tab at any time for budgeting purposes, just let your bar man know ;-)
We loved the tour! The swim stops every day were amazing, the lunch provided each day was exquisit. The places we went on the tour were so beautiful. The only thing that would have been good was knowing the layout of the day and what times everything would be. Also would say that in the boat we were in the room was super small which was expected. There is an aircon in the hallway and if the cabin doors are left open it does get cool. The tour itself and our manager were awesome. He had lots of facts and information about every place we were going. He recommended well priced places and knew a lot about the places we were in. Was a great time.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your honest review. It really is great to hear you loved the tour, your time with us on board and also on the swim stops enjoying beautiful Croatia. As the ships are small motor cruisers the cabins onboard our Standard ships can be a little small, so we encourage you to spend more time exploring :). However, if you were wanting a larger cabin - we recommending opting for the Premier ship option. Awesome that your Tour Manager had lots of facts and information about each location, this can make you feel like you really have got to know the country well even in just the 1 week of sailing! Thank you so much for your recommendation, we're glad you had a great time.
You get to meet new people travelling all over the world

Thanks for your review!
The staff onboard our cruise were some of the best people I’ve ever met, they worked so hard but still found time to joke around and have fun with us. Overall the trip was one of the best weeks of my travels so far! The other travellers on the boat were so much fun. I was nervous at first as to how I would go making new friends but instead I made a whole new family. However, I thought it was a bit cheeky that the clubs (main disappointment, Deep) advertised to us by head office weren’t even open at the time of our cruise so it was never going to be an option for us to attend... I would have preferred they had been a bit more honest with what we were going to have available to us at the time of year the cruise was offered.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the cruise overall, had loads of fun, and met some great people. We know how nerve wracking it can be joining a boat with a bunch of new people, however we are happy to know you and your fellow travellers became one big family at the end of the cruise. In regards to the clubs and bars in Croatia, opening times can vary and if this is the case, your representative will offer some great alternative options. Thank you again for your review!
The cruise was fun, met some great new people. My only complaint would be the food. As a vegetarian the food on the boat was not good. The first day was alright but on the 2nd night I recurved a plate of half boiled vegetables that had been covered in oil. Being hungry made enjoying the cruise to its full potential difficult. The boat team did their best to rectify after a complaint was made. However, it should have been thought about prior, in an age were there are quite a few vegetarians and making vegetarian food is not difficult a menu that is appropriate should be considered Other than that the staff were lovely the rooms were average the parties were fun, Croatia is gorgeous. Would definitely go back!
- Taleetha, 12/03/2019 05:06, Travelled Solo
Thank you for your review - we are really pleased to hear you enjoyed yourself, had fun and met some great people along the way. We totally agree - Croatia is gorgeous :-). We are pleased that once you had advised the chef of the vegetarian meal issues, this was immediately rectified. With any special dietary requirements, these are passed on to the chef pre-cruise for meal planning purposes and our guests are offered more of the foods you can eat daily which consists of a variety of delicious vegetarian meals. We thank you for your comments here as these will be passed on to the captain for improvements. Again, we are really happy to know you enjoyed everything else and we would love to have you back!
We met a few really great people who will be friends for life. The crew on board the boat were amazing.

I had an amazing week sailing from Dubrovnik to Split with Ivana, our representative. She was so thoughtful and nice. She really did an excellent job!

For someone that usually gets unwell on boats I'm happy to say that I felt great on this sail. The Capatain was great, swim spots were so beautiful and we got to stay for a good amount of time. I loved all the little islands/towns we got to explore. My boat TUNA was amazing with such a great group of people, we had a lot of fun 😂 Katarina our guide was very lovely and would go above and beyond for all of us! Would defiantly do it again.
- Tinnielle, 25/06/2018 08:43, Travelled with Friend/s
The Sail Croatia crew on our ship Tuna were outstanding! My partner and I are both vegan and gluten free so I was hesitant at first to book but the chef and crew paid attention to our dietary requirements and provided the most yummiest lunches!!! We were so over the moon! A huge thanks to them!!! Our tour guide Mila was friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed going to secret swimming spots everyday to refresh and relax! It was a tiring but cool and rewarding week at sea!

Had an awesome time!! Boat was great, staff and the food were awesome. We did heaps of swimming and tanning which was great, only thing I would say is don't bother with the buggys they weren't worth it! Totally do the wine tour though! everything else was awesome!
- Amalie, 07/10/2017 17:47, Travelled with Friend/s
The team on board was amazing but compared to other companies and tours I have done (like Contiki) it wasn't quite as organised or factual. If I were to sail around Croatia again I would opt to go with Contiki
- Bob, 03/10/2017 08:23, Travelled Solo
Sail Croatia was amazing. The islands we visited were stunning and the daily ocean swim stops were so much fun. The staff were friendly and we made good friends with them and we felt looked after. We bonded so much with our group and every night going out together was heaps of laughs and good times. Unfortunately there was bed bugs on our ship and we gave one of the other couples our mattress after the crew didn't sort out the problem and they and many others had no where to sleep. That was the only negative.
- Ellie, 18/09/2017 07:28, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you for your 4-star review. We are pleased to hear you found Sail Croatia amazing and the islands visited, and swim stops lots of fun! Thank you for your comments on the staff, it's nice to hear you were well looked after and bonded with the rest of the good group onboard your boat. We have a rigorous processes for any sightings of bed bugs on our boats and I have checked our internal records. I see that a few guests boarded the boat with bed bugs that they contracted prior to joining our cruise. Our crew had followed our 'bed bug' process and offered a full cabin service and organised drycleaning of their personal belongings. We appreciate your concern - this issue was resolved immediately and directly with the guests in question. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.
Great food & great staff!

All the staff was friendly and I really enjoyed my time. Chur !

My experience with Sail Croatia was great although the boat we where was slightly under satisfactory. Our room although small and hot was forgotten when the 10-15kg port hole fell on my face causing a very painful and large bruise under my eye. There was also a small opening in the wall that caused an electric shock through my body. The crew, boat, and Sail Croatia representative where really great and made my experience amazing but, the safety at of the boat was something that needed to be reviewed.

Hi - thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear your overall experience was enjoyable. However, we are sorry to hear of the unfortunate incident that occured whilst onboard your boat. I understand your representative was available during this incident and had offered further assistance wherever possible. We understand the captain had repaired the batten and no further action was required from you. We are really pleased to hear that your representative made your experience amazing and again, we thank you for your review!
Great way to see so many different places in Croatia. Absolutely fab tour guide too. However the conditions on the boat were not up to standard. We were on a premier boat and our cabin (below deck) smelled of damp/ sewage the entire week. It was also incredibly noisy from the sound of the engine so it was difficult to get a good night's sleep. The overall cleanliness of the bathroom etc was poor and the provision of toilet roll ridiculous- only get given a few sheets to last a whole week so needed to keep asking for more. Apart from these issues, the food was great and we still did have a good time!

Hi there and thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you found cruising around the coastline a great way to see the various places Croatia has to offer. It's nice to hear you found the guide good too and found the food to be of great value - thank you for your comments here. However, I'm sorry to hear there was an odour issue with your cabin and bathroom in general. We have a rigorous process in place for handling any issues that may arise whilst you are on the trip, which is included in the Pre-Departure Information to you before the trip. Guests are encouraged to report incidents themselves to one of our experienced representatives, and if they feel no action is taken by crew members or our representatives, you are then welcome to escalate this to our Operations Manager. This ensures no incident is left unreported, and gives us the best chance to resolve this during the cruise for you. Upon checking our internal records, I am unable to locate any incident reports submitted on your behalf regarding the issues mentioned. Had we been made aware whilst on the cruise, we would have tried to resolve this for you immediately. We hope that these issues didn't detract from your overall experience and we thank you again for your review!
Overall my week on the Naval for Sail Croatia was an amazing experience. From the gorgeous sights and scenery to the fun nights out, it was a trip to remember. However, I think the Naval crew could all agree that our trip was made exceptional by being lucky enough to have Aleks as our guide. What a lovely, caring and absolutely fun and hilarious person. I cannot recommend Aleks highly enough and hope that the Sail Croatia team value this gem! Thanks for a wicked week Aleks! X Also a huge thanks to Izak, Big Mumma, Mario and the skippers for everything!

I loved that apart from the party aspect of the sail boats there was also a really nice inclusion on history and knowledge of the places we were traveling to by our tour guides. Lara was so knowledgable and helpful if anyone had any questions. The whole boat of mala Kate had such great staff who were helpful, respectful and so much fun at night to party and talk with. Only downfall is that when the generator was off the rooms were incredibly hot and I had no way of charging my phone which meant I couldn't take photos of some of my experiences. All in all tho I had so so much fun and would recommend highly to anyone

Had high expectations going on a navigator cruise as people told me it was the "best week" ever! Sail croatia did not disappoint, indeed it was the most amazing week ever, with the most outgoing/fun/craziest group of people, lets do it again, wouldnt change a thing, besides some airconditioning #mlini😉

Sail Croatia, how do I even begin to describe it in 1000 words. The destinations will take your breath away, and if that doesn't, jumping off the top deck of your gorgeous boat for the first time into crystal clear blue water will! You will eat the most amazing home-like meals and be served any drink you could possibly ask for. You've got a question? Our representive Vedron would have the answer, and if he didn't, he would find out before you even had the chance to ask again. He was caring, fun, down to earth and very organized making our experience on sail seamless. The people make it very special with excursions for you to bond and clubs for you to boogie. Our air conditioned rooms made sleeping after a big night out easy, and watching the sunrise on the top deck after stumbling home was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Adria crew on the Ocean boat were flawless and we are stoked with their hospitality. Subanking, Adventuring, snorkeling and partying! OH & YOU MUST GO CANYONING!

My partner, Zach and I had an amazing time on our Sail Croatia. The country was absolutely stunning, with Hvar being one of the most beautiful places we have visited to date. We were extremely fortunate enough to have had a great group of nearly 40 people, all getting along and sharing travelling stories as well as different drinking games for fun. Both Zach and I have made several friends we intend to keep in touch with once back in Australia, including our guide Alex who was extremely friendly, genuine and such a caring person. We are very excited that she is moving to our home state in Australia and intent to keep in touch with her. She certainly made our experience on Croatia Sail one to remember forever. Thank you team Sail Croatia and especially you Alex. Zach and Tiaan.

Lara was a wonderful host! The rooms were much better than I had thought- cool temperature with private bathrooms. I was also very impressed with the food. Unfortunately, things that were not so good included our bar tender was very sour over the week, there was very little to do during the day except for tan on the deck and lastly, on the final night my wallet was taken with 600 kuna ($120) taken out of it which I have a strong suspicion was by the bar tender as a result of not tipping him.

We were SUPER lucky on our sail to have a fantastic host Ivana, being a local herself ment for our group that we could trust we were in the best hands at each destination. Ivana was always a step ahead of us making sure we were happy and comfortable, she was quite literaly the glue that held us together. At times she may have felt a little in over her head, but she kept her cool in every situation, she never gave up on us and in the end with her patience and understanding, bought us closer together as a family, We put her through a lot during our week sail and for that she deserves gold medal And our crew ofcourse were also fantastic! super friendly, always having a joke with us, and there was not a single time where someone wasnt around when we needed help, thankyou all for the laughs and the good times. Also a big thumbs up to our chef onboard, the food was always delicious, there wasnt a single meal I did not finish. Big loves to you all, Sail Croatia you have stolen my heart ❤

- Amy, 06/07/2017 17:27, Travelled with Family
Had a great time. But firstly our standard ship wasn't 'sea worthy' so we were put on a premium boat which was very nice but there were more rules and we had to keep the music down a lot. Sometimes it felt like school camp as everyone was given a lecture almost everyday for things that other people had done which isn't appreciated and ruined the mood. The fact that Sail Croatia doesn't check their boats until they have left the port is worrying. I don't recommend the Buggies unless you have goggles because the dust in your eyes ruins it. Highly recommend either canyoning or zip lining. But thankfully I met some awesome people and the islands were beautiful.
- Robyn, 03/07/2017 07:18, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you for your review. We have a curfew onboard all our boats where music is to be turned off and night peace respected. The cut-off times vary between islands and this is set by the Port Authorities, not adhering to these rules could incur hefty penalty fees so all our boats are to adher to these rules and regulations. Those that are wanting to party are more than welcome to do so, on land. We conduct thorough checks at the beginning of the season and checks throughout the season for any issues that may arise. We are very pleased to hear you enjoyed the canyoning and zip lining excursion, and met some lovely people along the way. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.
Had a really great time on Sail Croatia. Would recommend getting an above deck cabin. Be wary that Sail Croatia's price point is lower than other companies as there are a lot of extra costs including alcohol, meals and activities that aren't always the best value.

Hi there and thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear you had a great time on our Navigator cruise. On our website we confirm what is included in our prices - breakfasts and lunches. With dinner, we don't include this as we want our guests to go out and try the lovely Croatian cuisine. Alcohol and exursions are optional as we feel you can budget for this and spend as much or as little as you like. We thank you again for your comments.
Sail Croatia. Words do not describe how amazing this experience was. Parties every night, a boat full of the most awesome people, life long friendships made. The food was amazing, the Croatian cities were amazing. I have experienced nothing like this before and would highly recommend anyone who loves a good time to get out there and do it!!

We had a great week on board the Maestral for our Navigator cruise. The boat was clean and out cabin was a private double bed as we had requested. We were very well fed on the ship for breakfast and lunch, and the crew was very accomodating and friendly. The excursion options were nice, but a little pricey. The suggested dinner locations were also a bit pricey, and some of them were less than great quality food. Overall though it was a very fun time, and we were able to coordinate our own excursions and do our own things for dinners anyways. We enjoyed the nightclubs we were taken to very much as well. Our Sail Croatia representative was wonderful and a really fun guy. I would recommend this cruise to others :)

The cruise was magnificent in terms of the views - majestic mountains in the background with crystal clear, bright blue sea water. The crew was very friendly and helpful.

I had a fantastic week on Sail croatia! It was great as a solo traveller as I made many new friends. The week went way too fast and I would have like to see more of the islands, but for a first trip it was fab! The staff on our boat were wonderful and the only reason I have given it 4 not 5 stars is because of the facilities on the boat which could have been a little bit better. Otherwise I highly recommend!

Cruise was awesome it\'s a great week to make new friends, party and get some great shots of the coast! We had a great bunch of people on board with us which makes it easier. Lauren was our host she did a good job she was super busy working on 5 boats but always had time for us all! Yoshi did well pouring us all drinks each night only wish happy hours were longer haha Of course there\'s a few things that could do with a tweak. For a party boat you stay on the boring islands longer than you do the party islands, and you get told to be back on board by 5 and the boat doesn\'t depart till 8. Food was better on some days then others I feel sorry for any vegetarians out there! We also missed out on our last swim stop which was annoying and they all could have been a little longer!

The crew onboard Tarin were AMAZING! Food was fantastic and each stop- both swimming and overnight- was beautiful too! Ziplining and wine tasting tours were great as well!

Had a particularly good boat. We were all of similar ages, and had similar temperaments. I enjoyed all the places we went, although I do wish we had an extra night in Makarska. The crew were supportive and happy to help.

It was the overall location that made my trip. The staff on the boat were amazing. There were a few hidden costs/mis communication of tour managers and some of the optional activities which could have been avoided. Overall my trip was average compared to what was expected (maybe I set the standards to high), however still had an amazing time!

Due to bad weather, We missed to ports which is not under any ones control. The shore reps and boat crew made it their best effort for us to enjoy the most of the trip. I wish the boats ALL so the local beer on board.

Overall the cruise was great. We loved the swim stops and how every day we were somewhere new on the way to our destination. Breakfast was simple - lunch much better and enjoyed this very much Drinks- good variety, pricing average but overall a reasonable week of drinking. Rooms- I had requested a double bed as we were a couple- no contact was made to let me know this boat intact had no above deck double bed rooms - I would have been happier to be below deck with air con and a double bed - disappointed in this lack of communication Activities schedule - frequent changes and flat out denial and non disclosure about availability of activities eg - buggies - overbooked for that day apparently so out your guide didn't even offer he activity - it was until we asked what happened to that activity that we were given a long winded answer about how many boats sailing at the moment. The sail Croatia recommendations were let downs night clubs, restaurants as they were in business withSC

The people and activities were great, the down falls there were no snacks on the boat and were only in hvar for less then 12hours

I had a great week but there was certainly room for improvement. In the pros, I booked the most expensive boat of the fleet and it did not disappoint. It was large, clean, and the rooms were pretty spacious! Areas for improvement were - the price of 'happy hour' drinks (they are more expensive then most bars in tourist areas), the attitude of some staff members was petty unprofessional and a few of the excursions were expensive and over-rated. Easy things to fix - and overall, a great week:) would recommend

The week cruise was amazing! The sights are incredible, I never knew how beautiful Croatia was going to be. The only downfall of the trip was the size of the bedroom, there wasn't enough room to put your suitcase away therefore we had to walk over them each time to get to the bathroom, and you need air con! It's very hard to sleep in the heat!

The crew were so lovely and helpful! Activities were so fun and everything ran very smoothly. The boat was always clean and someone was always available to help with any issues.

The 5 day cruise was not long enough. I would have loved to stay on for an extra week! I didn't want t leave! The boat was exquisite and the staff were even more amazing. The food was delicious, especiallu when eating on the deck watching the other boats sail by. Waking up to views of the clearest, bluest oceans and breath-taking mountains views all in one, was definitely a highlight of the trip. I would highly reccomend this 5 day premier plus cruise if you want the best boat, a chill vibe with potential of getting rowdy. Thanks for helping me create such incredible, unforgettable memories!

We stayed on the Liberty which was comfortable, spacious and filled with all the required amenities. Service of the staff including our host was impeccable and the food was amazing!!

The crew aboard the Marija Magdakena trated us like the princesses we aspire to be. The rest of the people on board were incredibly fun and easy to get along with! the swim stops were an incredible experience that I don't think you can find from a beach or a pier - there is something special about swimming off a boat so far from land. The party scene was amazing and my party animal friends had the time of their lives. Only con was that the boat was SWELTERING, so it was difficult to sleep. All in all, an incredible experience, highly recommended! But BRING A FAN!

The staff was so wonderful and helpful! The food was good too! We also lucked out with wonderful people On our boat and great weather for the week! Thanks Sail Croatia!

The staff, they deserve a pay rise

The crew and group of people on Maestral were more than we could have asked for! The group activities, food and energy of the sail was fantastic. It truly was the best time ever!! The only setback was that we were below deck, if i can recommend anything, it would be to go above deck. Other than that, I had the greatest time and would do it all over again

The best thing about this cruise aside from the gorgeous landscapes was definitely our host Ivana. The crew were also excellent and helpful whenever we had additional questions or needs. Food and drinks were both good and the drinks onboard were reasonably priced. The cabin was as expected small but sufficient however being 6"9 meant the bed was a bit uncomfortable as it had a foot-board. If you are tall hope for a bed without a foot-board so your feet can at least hang over. Being able to visit several beautiful ports and swim in the clean, clear waters throughout the week was definitely the best way to see the country and the shore excursions were a great option to explore each port in more depth. Probably the one negative was the horrific smell of sewerage on the last night of our cruise coming up through our ensuite but other than that this cruise was the best part of our 3 week holiday.

First of all, Stan (our tour manager) was one of the most unique and charismatic guys I have ever met. He has an amazing story to tell and goes above and beyond to ensure his guests are looked after and relieve the best experiences. Some true and strong friendships were formed. We were so fortunate to have a group who all got along and really connected! No arguments, drama or negativity in sight! The weather was very bad for a few days . . . . BUT it didn't matter. We still had a great time, Stan changed dinner bookings and the Captain revised the route to ensure we were safe and were not inconvenienced. The food was mostly great. The bar prices were reasonable. The zip lining excursion was incredible!! Things that I feel could have been improved: Provide fresh bathroom towels during the week. A way to freshen the air in the rooms as there can be a sewerage smell at times. In saying that, the good times definitely outweighed these two things. 'The Navigator' was awesome!!!

The crew of the Penelopa were absolutely wonderful! Really helpful and friendly, and the food was nicer than expected too! Massive thanks to Big Daddy, Ante, Mario and the rest of the gang. The cabins are small, and sound travels easily!! A week was plenty living in such close quarters with others! I would definitely go again, but I might do the Explorer cruise next time, for a bit more space. Stunning country, it was such a nice way to get around. The canyoning excursion was fantastic, and I want to go again!

It was great to be able to cruise the coastline and have everything organised for us. Our tour leader, Stan was fantastic! He was very friendly and helpful, and even took me to the doctor when I was unwell, which he did not have to do!! The only thing I didn't particularly enjoy was that we had a group of people who were too out of control and we're constantly drunk, with little respect for others on the cruise. They made the week difficult for Stan as well and he managed it as best he could. Understandably this is a party cruise, and I definitely enjoy partying but they were over the top. Aside from this, if you can cope with that kind of behaviour I definitely would recommend sail Croatia! We met some awesome people on the cruise too :)
