A massive thank you to Sail Croatia for their exceptional service and for the quality of their offering... they made our 20th wedding anniversary holiday a memorable experience. Everything is thoughtfully taken care off, from your arrival to your return at the airport. The transfers, boat preparation, travelling week, welcoming return, etc. allowed us to enjoy a beautiful Croatia by sea and learn some useful skills along the way. We will happily return for another trip soon!

Everyone made us feel at home. From the ship's crew to the guides. Our group was diverse but at the end we were like a family! We would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone and especially the good ship Mali Ante.

After friends recommendation we booked the Wine Cruise Dubrovnik to Split and it was an amazing trip and we made some new friends from all over the world. The cruise, boat crew, food on board and the trips were amazing.

We really enjoyed exploring the various islands. Cabin was large and comfortable. Captain and crew were great. Really appreciated that meals were locally oriented. Bring plenty of euros—tourist fee, tips, bar tab, excursions, etc. Bring swim goggles—sea is very salty, need goggles to open eyes while swimming.

This was a great experience. Vin did a great job coordinating all of the wine tastings and providing excellent background to each destination. Also, Tony and Henry did a great job with the bar service and meal service. The food was excellent and the chef did a great job. The only issue was one of the wine tasting destinations had a problem with the bus not being available for returning us to the marina. Several vans were ordered to accommodate everyone's return trip. Thank you for a wonderful expeience.

While we had questionable weather at times, the staff absolutely brought the energy and passion. From Nickola working tirelessly to ensure we had fun day plans to King Reggy behind the bar and the whole crew looking after us, we all felt safe, fed and excited each day. Definitely would do again.

It was amazing from start to finish, staff were so friendly, the food that came out the small kitchen was absolutely delicious , our tour guide was so informative, he booked restaurants for us , bars, knew everything about every area we stopped he couldn’t have been any better , we had daily swim stops which were beautiful, full breakfasts, 3 course lunches , tea and biscuits, I was really sceptical when booking , but it is one of the best holidays I have been one , anyone debating on going with sail Croatia , please don’t it was amazing and I will definitely be doing another one

We obviously had high hopes when we booked our Elegance Wine Cruise but I can honestly all expectations were exceeded. The boat (Romantic Star), her crew, our host (Vicko), the food, fellow passengers and the well thought out itinerary and fantastic visits to the wineries made this a holiday we’ll never forget.
- Mike, 21/10/2025 07:47,
If you can find fault with this holiday you have spent the week looking for it, and even then I doubt you will find it. Everything was perfect from breakfast to evening drinks before bed, each trip out was well organised to get the most out of the experience and with morning swims stops everyday each day just flowed perfectly. We had a small kitchen on board that did breakfast and lunch. Well they called it lunch, but each day was a set menu of three courses and the food that came out of that small kitchen was just amazing and all made fresh on board, very talented people in that kitchen first class. Would I recommend Sail Croatia for a holiday, yes without a doubt, Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful ship

We travelled on the OLIMP. The only weakness of this trip was the arrival into Dubrovnik. This was a special week made so by the boat crew, staff Sail Croatia and the other guests. Would I do this again - YES. The islands, swimming spots were beautiful.
- Simon, 21/10/2025 04:02, Travelled in a Couple
The boat was lovely , but the crew and cycling tour guides are what made this trip. THEY WORKED HARD!!!!!!! Lifting the bikes everyday and still smiling. The guides were professional and very well informed about the area and were way better at English than we were at Croatian. The food was high quality, promptly served, and plentiful. I woud do the same all over again tomorrow.
- charles, 21/10/2025 02:58, Travelled with Friend/s
Well organised tour, very comfortable well run ship and excellent e-bikes. Clear riding instructions from dedicated guides with safety and fun at heart. Great way to see the islands, swim and explore. Food was outstanding and thoroughly recommend this to others.

Sailing through Croatia aboard the Salve di Mare was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The vessel itself was spotless and well-maintained, with a crew that took great pride in their work. Every detail—from the gleaming decks to the thoughtfully prepared meals—reflected a high standard of care. The food onboard was a true highlight, each dish freshly prepared and bursting with flavor, perfectly complementing the beautiful views of the Adriatic. The itinerary offered plenty of chances to explore Croatia’s stunning coastline, with stops at charming seaside towns, historic ports, and hidden coves. Swim stops were always a favorite—crystal-clear water, warm sun, and that feeling of pure relaxation only the sea can offer. Our guide, Dino, truly made the trip special. His deep knowledge of Croatia’s history and culture brought each destination to life, and he was always ready with excellent suggestions for local sights, food, and activities. Great trip and would recommend !

Everything made this trip! Starting with signing up with Sail Croatia.. My girl friends sister had done the trip last year. Being boaters and bikers. We made our decision to do it. It was far beyond my expectations! At first I was hesitant to do it as my travels have never included an organized tour. This trip I was proven wrong. The boat was the perfect size, spanking clean and organized, the crew and bike guides were beyond personable, friendly and professional, the food outstanding! By the end of the trip they all were like family. The group, a mixture from different countries, also became like family, many we will keep in touch with after this trip I do not say these words lightly,. I truly amazed myself with this admittance. I say again, I have never been a fan of tours nor large groups of unknown people. I have been on many world adventures but none quite like this one!
- William, 20/10/2025 13:21, Travelled with Friend/s
Had a great time, low passenger (21) to staff ratio really helped. Couple of things though - Last cruise of the season meant we had to ask for things like spa being heated, etc - there wasn't a lot of initiative from crew in general, Also food and alcohol was running out so they weren't going to replace certain things. While we got a very SLIGHT reduction in price from peak time it did mean that we still felt as though we had to ask for things. Swim stops were awesome, but many people wanted to do more snorkelling options - It would have been easy to pull in a little closer to shore (100 metres) so we could see the bottom rather than swim there (I swam 250m there and back on one just to see the bottom). These are all minor details - the room was great, the tour manager Dino was AMAZING and dealt so well with a lot of different personalities. He responded immediately to all queries and was very patient with some of the more demanding passengers. We met great people.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great boat, staff, guides, food , like minded fellow travellers and Islands! The only thing out of their control was the weather and luckily for us that was also brilliant.x
- Stuart , 20/10/2025 07:05, Travelled in a Couple
Beautiful country! So much to wonder at, including natural beauty and medieval historical monuments. Our guides Tonka and Natasha were excellent, often going above and beyond to meet our needs and ensure our comfort. Plus, the boat accommodations were great and entire crew was friendly and service-oriented.
- Greg, 20/10/2025 06:13, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful time , the all around service , organization and experience was 5 star. ⭐️ Our 2 guides, Tonka and Natasha were just great, knowledgable , helpful, fun and so kind. David was exceptional at all his duties , all the staff was first class . Thank you for a memorable week on the Afrodita Steve and Kari Towers.

The group of people were all unknowns when we started but soon clicked. We met so many great people and all got on so well together. The cruise was well planned and despite a day or two of windy conditions it went off without a hitch. The staff were were always friendly and happy and willing to help whenever possible.
- Rod, 16/10/2025 12:27, Travelled in a Couple
The crew, which is responsible for the sailing/transportation of our group from destination to destination, were very good - trying to avoid rough waters, offering good meals (always a breakfast and usually a lunch and the occasional dinner). The cycling component was handled by a lead that planned the routes. Our lead tried to anticipate the abilities of our group, as we had a few non-electric bikers, and I appreciated him factoring the weather, cycling ability, terrain, topography and the ships ability with regards to docking/port authority schedules. By the end of our trip we ended up cycling: distance and total accumulated altitude climb, exceeded most trips of the season.. I believe that accommodations could have been made if our group was either over or under challenged.. Overall cycling Croatia was a great experience for us. We got to see Croatia in a unique way safely guided and well hosted.

We had an incredible time w 13 other couples, sailing and biking from Dubrovnik to Spilt. The crew and our bike guides are what set this apart. So amazing to hear their takes on the history of the region and their love of their country. We had a great set up for the other couples that we were traveling with to enjoy time as a big group and break off into smaller groups.

Excited about the boat Aphrodite, it did not disappoint. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Plenty of room. Great introduction with the staff. Any fears of sharing our holiday with a number of unknown people were soon dismissed. We were so fortunate that we had such a good group. The cycling guides, helpful , informative and entered into the spirit of holiday. WhatsApp group for passing information and morning meetings worked well. The bicycles are good quality and surprisingly no punctures.. At times the group seemed to large and we seemed rushed and to be cycling to a schedule. Thoroughly recommend the combination of travelling by boat and cycling the best way to enjoy the Dalmatian coast. The scenery was stunning, weather was perfect for us in mid September. Opportunities to swim from beaches and of the boat was perfect, enjoyed the food on the boat and we all came together to eat at meal times. Most memorable experience and booked again with SailCroatia for 2027….
- Steven, 15/10/2025 11:05, Travelled with Friend/s
Our guides Josko and Anita were awesome. There were several obstacles put in their way due to weather and they did a great job to adjust when needed. The crew on the boat was also great. The captain had to also make changes when obstacles were presented. The food was excellent! The only issue was the wifi on the boat, Princess Diana. The wifi was rarely available. Luckily, boats park side by side at the ports, so we could hop on the wifi of other boats. Cycling through the Croatian islands was excellent, a great way to see the country. I'd do the tour again anyday.

Our bike tour guides, Marin and Borna, were absolutely outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the regions we explored. Their local insights, humor, and attention to detail made every ride not just scenic but meaningful. They were the true highlight of this trip and the main reason our cycling adventure was such a success. The boat Dionis was functional and served its purpose as our floating base for the week. While it’s not the most luxurious vessel in the fleet, it provided what we needed for a comfortable journey between islands. The crew was generally accommodating, though the captain’s early departure push on the final morning — moving the checkout time from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. — felt a bit rushed and left us scrambling to wrap things up. Overall, the experience was memorable and well organized, thanks in large part to Marin and Borna, who turned a good trip into a great one.
- Scott, 15/10/2025 05:46, Travelled with Friend/s
We did the Explorer trip early October '25, so the towns visited were not as busy as peak season, which was great. Interactions with Sail Croatia ahead of the trip were clear, concise and quick (I would recommend sending guests a pdf or e-mail itinerary ahead of departure). The cabins were sufficient for a week's travel, the included lunch and breakfast perfect and crew and tour manager Nikos all very helpful. Additional excursions were suggested and organised where required. The only disappointment was that we couldn't do a swim stop during any of the days due to the windy weather. One could swim at the towns, though. Just to note, Croatia along the coast has become expensive for anyone that might be travelling on a budget, but all in all the trip was well worth it. The towns and natural surrounds exceeded all expectations and experiencing it on a small cruise boat (36 guests) is highly recommended.

For starters, our guide Ivan was best in class. And the captain and crew were helpful and really good all week. Thoughtful, much attention to detail. We did the wine tour which was lots of fun. Attractions were beautiful. Highly recommend the biking through the national park. On some guided trips you can be programmed to death - this one was just right. Lots of options and guidance on what to do and really good pace for a holiday. There was one moment on the trip when the bus didn't arrive as planned - Ivan had vans show up as a back up plan almost immediately. Felt so comfortable on the trip as he and the crew were just on top of everything. It was my first cruise and it exceeded all expectations from the boat itself to the comfort of the rooms to the food & drink to the quality of service. And Croatia is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend. Thank you Ivan, Captain, and crew on the Queen Jelena!
- Derek, 14/10/2025 11:37, Travelled with Friend/s
We are not cruise people, but our time on the Queen Jelena far exceeded our expectations. Ivan, our cruise director was very friendly, informative and helpful. Pamela always had a smile on her face and Ella and the Josips were like magic working behind the scenes making everything clean, comfortable while Captain Gordon kept us safe and sound and found the best swim spots. The kitchen was a standout as the meals were delicious and always elegantly presented which was a plus. The swim spots and wine tastings were great but the highlight for us was the professionalism of Ivan, Pamela and the rest of the crew which made this cruise one of the best vacations we have ever had. Thanks Sail Croatia!!
- Robert, 14/10/2025 09:45, Travelled with Friend/s
The sights were incredible, the crew was attentive and kind, the food was delicious. I never felt rushed or crowded on this trip. We had a weather hiccup and Ivan, our incredible guide, made up for it with an additional experience at the end of the trip. I felt safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip and company to anyone looking for a way to see Croatia. Big thanks to Ivan and Pamila and the entire team on the Queen J!
- Darren, 14/10/2025 07:11, Travelled with Friend/s
Our cycling guides, Josko and Anita were outstanding. Each day’s itinerary was meticulously planned and when weather didn’t cooperate, J did a great job of changing on the fly, The crew on the boat were also absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond. That is what made the trip so special. That, and the amazing scenery and sights on the islands of Croatia.

Everything was amazing! The biking was such a great way to see the islands of Croatia. The guides were fantastic in planning the day’s ride; kept a good pace with breaks as needed. The boat staff were friendly and eager to make your trip a good experience. The food was amazing. I wasn’t expecting that type of quality on a small ship. The sea was quite rough for a few hours but that is out of anyone’s hands.

We did a sail and cycle from Slit to Dubrovnik. There were several things that made the trip great: The crew, the 2 guides, the new friends we traveled with, and the gorgeous islands we cycled. My wife rode an e-bike that worked out great for her, and I chose a regular bike that gave me a great workout on the hills. The trip was extremely well organized, the food was very good, and our guides went above and beyond. A truly beautiful week!

The cruise / bike tour was awesome. The other guests and the crew of the Mali Anti for the 4 Oct to 11 Oct 2025 Split to Dubrovnik tour were exceptional. Every ride was awesome, informative and "NICE". Tonka and Anna were great bike tour leaders. The ships crew were professional and a real pleasure to sail with. They made our sailing experience 5 stars. The cook was to notch and the food was delicious. Will definitely do a similar tour like this again. Met some really great people and we all got along very well.

The cruise was made special by the staff onboard. Lola, Dora and all the crew were fantastic and made each day fun. The islands we visited were all different and it was great to see the Croatian countryside away from the cities and at a slow pace, The only thing I would criticise is that the Mali. Luka is looking a bit tired more at the end of the season and needs a makeover. That didn’t stop us from having a great holiday, but the boat itself could do with a spruce up.

The MS Katarina was everything and more I would expect from a "Superyacht". The crew were exceptional, friendly, professional and attentive. The breakfast and lunches were amazing. We had one dinner "the Captains Dinner" on board, which I would describe as absolutely amazing. I would have loved to see how the chef prepared such a gourmet delight for all 36 of us. The daily swim spots were amazing with crystal clear waters for swimming. The Katarina was kept immaculate by all the crew. The Captains night will be remembered by all the guests on board. So much laughter dancing and singing. Will be a cruise that will be remembered by all 8 of our friends and all the other guests. Will definitely be back for another cruise. By far our best trip ever and will recommend to all our friends

The boat Katarina is beautiful! The rooms are large, with AC, a full bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. The captain and crew went above and beyond, and the kitchen staff turned out amazing meals, including handling the special dietary needs of my wife and other travelers. Ioana, our cruise director, did an amazing job of keeping us both up to date on activities and destinations to come, managing off and on boat activities, dinners, and othera fantastic job of keeping everyone as happy as can be. I wish we could take her along to manage every vacation. I was a bit disappointed that so many of the off boat activities revolved around drinking (numerous wine tastings and a gin tasting.) Neither I nor my wife drink, so was not really something we could enjoy with others on the cruise. That said, the small number of people on the boat did let us get to know the others, meeting everyone was a pleasure. I would gladly take another cruise with Sail Croatia, and especially on this boat.
