Had the best time ever. I was a little nervous travelling on my own and about motion sickness but had the best time ever and have made friends for life. Our guides Anita and Mate were incredible. They made the whole experience memorable. I did the Hike and Cruise trip and it had the right amount of activity and relaxation. Anita and Mate briefed us on the hike each morning and safely took us and brought us back. They made great recommendations for other activities to do once we got back as well as dinner recommendations. We sailed on the Salve De Mare. The Captain and his crew were great. The cabins were very comfortable, and the lunches were incredible. Captain's dinner was also very good. If i had to say something negative cause everything can't be perfect, it would be, need better coffee on the boat! I would recommend this trip to anyone. The age range of our group was 52 to 72 and the hike was manageable by all.

My ship was beautiful and the captain was clearly proud to have built it with his family. The accommodations were clean and spacious. Food was phenomenal. The guide was knowledgeable and honest - not just pushing sales or pressuring guests to use certain businesses. Croatia itself was welcoming and gorgeous. An island bike ride was a high point as was a local farm to table dinner.
- Stacey, 13/05/2025 18:56, Travelled Solo
The ship is a classic beauty nicely updated. The service,crew and food superb. Vicko our rep, always kept us well informed and did a great job. Well organised and well planned 7 days cruise. An unmissable experience!

From the moment I met Karolina and a few other passengers quayside at Split I felt welcome and comfortable. (I am 73 and travel solo). Over lunch we were given a full orientation about the ship and the week ahead: scheduled swim stops, shore excursions, meal times etc. My fellow passengers were a great mix of personalities, from reserved to more lively and we all got on so well (lucky/blessed). The Captain and crew, from front of house and in the background were efficient and fun. Special mention goes to our Cruise Director Karolina whose care and attention to detail were exceptional! We had the opportunity to swim every day which I did despite the water temperature, hence my given cruise name!! I can’t recommend this company/trip highly enough! Croatia is the most beautiful country; the people who live there are lovely (nearly everyone understands English), its history, food and wine absolutely great.
- Gillian , 13/05/2025 05:44, Travelled Solo
Best vacation ever! We sailed to Brač, Hvar, and Vis, spent a night at anchor, and swam in the most beautiful coves. Our skipper was very helpful and responsible, sharing lots of fun facts and stories about the islands. Definitely recommend!!
- Matea, 08/05/2025 05:34, Travelled Solo
The combination of cruising, cycling and exploring the islands along the southern Dalmatia was perfect. The experienced guides were the best! Thank you Jošco and Ana. The captain and his crew were always helpful and accommodating. The chef's dishes were always tasty. I will Sail Croatia and cycle again!
- Frederick , 07/05/2025 14:52, Travelled Solo
I travelled solo, on the Emanuel boat on the Cycling cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Cycling was a great way to see the different islands of Croatia. The guides (Ana and Josko) knew the area really well, and organised a fun ride on each island with beautiful views. The e-bike allowed me to sweat or relax as much as I wanted. There were 3 people who got a regular bike (no e-assist) but they were pretty serious cyclists. I'd recommend an e-bike unless you want a difficult bike ride on your holiday. I appreciated the daily stops for swimming off the boat too! I really enjoyed the schedule of breakfast and lunch on the boat - With a 2-3 hour cycle in between. And then you get your own free time to explore an island after lunch. Great way to explore, relax, eat local, and experience each island. As a solo traveler, I paid a 50% extra to have my own room. It's worth it for me, but to each their own. I'd highly recommend this cruise, and hope I get to go again soon!!

The ship..The crew The guides..The food..All were amazing..Hikes were fantastic and challenging..Loved every minute of it..Fellow passengers were fantastic..We all had great time. Didn't want it to end. I will be back.
- Kevin , 05/05/2025 02:33, Travelled Solo
My trip was almost year ago, but I can’t stop thinking about how great my week was with Sail Croatia. Tilly was the best rep who guided us through the week with grace and kindness and was always there when we needed her. Would come back again!
- Alyssa, 13/04/2025 09:54, Travelled Solo
Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!
- Lauren, 27/10/2024 12:48, Travelled Solo
I had a wonderful time. The cruise was amazing...beautiful food, friendly staff and excellent hike guidance by Marte and Andro. I can't say enough to thank everyone for looking after me so well.
- Sue Ashmore, 27/10/2024 07:58, Travelled Solo
The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.
- Aimee, 26/10/2024 22:10, Travelled Solo
The guide, Anita, was excellent. Charming, efficient and most helpful. It was a joy to have such service. I cannot recommend her too much. The crew were very helpful. Food not so good- too much overcooked meat, just one fish dish in 7 days.. Good bar service. Most enjoyable party after the captain',s dinner- lots of dancing ! I did not engage in excursions, as too strenuous for my age.. Others enjoyed them.. Cabin fine and very efficient and pleasant cleaner.
- Michael, 24/10/2024 13:59, Travelled Solo
This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!
- Vicky, 15/10/2024 19:14, Travelled Solo
The other passengers were lovely and kind. The staff were very professional and helpful. Ivana was a brilliant Tour Manager too.
- Julie Bozicevic , 15/10/2024 15:36, Travelled Solo
The crew and Lozza made great changes to accommodate the weather conditions. It was such a great week to end the Sail Croatia season! Loz was awesome... couldn't have picked a better person to handle us all... if I could do sail again, I'd want her there along for the ride.
- Anonymous, 10/10/2024 09:50, Travelled Solo
travelling solo for the first time was daunting to me, however from start to finish sailing on the Emanuel with the skilled and friendly skipper, the chef, who treated us with delicious meals, to Ivan and the other hands on board this experience got better and better. Tour guides Mila and Anita were passionate about their beautiful home country of Croatia and their enthusiasm for our day to day activities made this the perfect trip to include daily Hikes, swims in stunning locations, local knowledge and ensured everyone on board this lovely, comfortable ship had the best time. Of cause the highlight for me were the other 25 passengers I met. All like minded people from around the globe and im sure we will all remain friends. We had so much fun ! I cant wait to organise my next Sail Croatia Cruise as Ive never had such a rewarding and much needed life changing holiday.....Until next time
- DALE, 05/10/2024 04:41, Travelled Solo
Bought the explorer sail package and it was absolutely perfect. Wake up, have breakfast buffet on board, the captain would drop us off for a swim stop (1-3 hours), then it’s a 3 course lunch, right as we finish our lunch we have arrived at our new destination. We then had the rest of the day to explore at our own pace or sign up for the additional excursions. It was the perfect balance of scheduled and free time. I can’t wait to go back to Croatia!
- Han, 03/10/2024 15:56, Travelled Solo
I highly recommend doing Sail Croatia! I boarded not knowing anyone and left with the most incredible group of friends. I loved every minute of the trip and it’s such an easy way to visit many different destinations in Croatia. I booked the Navigator Cruise and was placed on the Tuna ship with the most incredible crew. I want to give a massive shout out to Toni our Tour Manager who made the trip so much better! Toni and the crew always went above and beyond and I am forever grateful for them all.
- Gemma , 03/10/2024 11:45, Travelled Solo
Absolutely one of the best weeks I have had in the duration of my trip! Lozza was an unreal representative, every night she’d have suggestions for where to go to diner and then where to go out afterwards, the group dinners she organised were unreal too, and of course the vibe throughout the whole day. The ship was great, plenty of space in the room given you want to spend most of it on the sun deck, or having Mateo make you a cocktail! Great size ship as well, big enough for everyone to have their own space, but small enough that everyone can still hang out easily. The crews response to poor weather, quickly swapping around what day we attended certain stops to give us more pleasant weather was also great. All in all, a fantastic trip that I 100% would do again!
- Riley, 03/10/2024 05:31, Travelled Solo
I had the best time on my sail, Marin was the best trip manager! So knowledgeable and friendly, highly recommend.
- Samantha, 03/10/2024 03:30, Travelled Solo
The product was great as we had excellent service from the staff onboard the boat. We were provided with great information about the areas we visited and given great tips on what activities to do
- Benjamin, 02/10/2024 06:09, Travelled Solo
Lauren’s ability to party all the way hard, organise fun day to the maximum and her amazing mind body soul made all of my days completely awesome to me. Beers could’ve been cheaper though.
- Brennan, 01/10/2024 08:56, Travelled Solo
Excellent week from Lauren and Mlini crew
- Miles, 01/10/2024 05:43, Travelled Solo
Had an absolutely fantastic time sailing on the Kapetan Jure ship in late September. Weather was perfect for most of the week, food was delicious, and Marin and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everybody felt safe and included! Cannot recommend highly enough!
- Matt, 30/09/2024 20:29, Travelled Solo
The people were so amazing ! Our guide Marin really interacted with us and was available whenever you needed help. This was my first solo trip and I couldn't have asked for a better experience :)
- Alexa, 30/09/2024 14:59, Travelled Solo
Had the best time with the most amazing 24 fellow passengers from Australia, U.K., Canada, US, South Africa, and New Zealand, Our guides Mila and Anita were fabulous, professional and knowledgeable-thank you both so much! Ship - Emmanuel. The Captain, crew and chef (captains mum) were wonderful. Always professional, hospitable and safety paramount on board. Thank you all for looking after us like family and showing us your beautiful country and incredible islands! Customer service from Sail Croatia in london were great from start to finish - thank you! Cruise hike has been a fabulous experience and highly recommended. Kindest regards Stacey English
- Stacey, 30/09/2024 09:35, Travelled Solo
The Sail Croatia Team and boat crew were superb from beginning to end. Hiking was challenging and rewarding with spectacular views. Meals are home cooked and delicious. The island ports are charming. We had a captain's dinner one night, a pizza night, lots of swimming, etc. It is a n active trip. But what made this cruise so special was making friends with the other travelers. As one person said, " It's the people. It's the people. It's the people! I have traveled a lot and this would rank as one of the best. Do it!
- Brent, 30/09/2024 06:01, Travelled Solo
It's ok
- Navi, 30/09/2024 05:10, Travelled Solo
I had a great time on the Pacific. Toma our manager and crew were the best. Everyone was positive and always happy to help. We had a great time in all the cities, swim stops were all beautiful. Big shout out to the crew, they were great!!!
- Adrian Kotevski, 27/09/2024 07:43, Travelled Solo
First of all, the crew and host were the best. Lauren, Mateo, Frane, Lucinda and Nevan took such great care of us all and we’re always approachable and friendly. The tour itself was a great mix of activities, swimming and relaxation, as well as nights out. When weather and things out of the crews control occurred, the team ensured our safety and provided us with alternative arrangements which was much appreciated. Can not speak more highly of my experience.
- Samantha, 26/09/2024 12:24, Travelled Solo
All round a great week with an amazing crew, felt extremely safe at all times, food on board was more than fine, bar staff were friendly, boat was always kept clean and our guide Marin was the best tour guide I’ve had across multiple other similar trips, a true legend. All round a great experience.
- Liam, 25/09/2024 20:14, Travelled Solo
Sail Croatia is such an incredible experience - sail takes all the planning and organisation out of the mix and allows you to just make amazing friends and memories on the boat while exploring the stunning Croatian Coast. Our crew: Elena, Big Daddy, Irena, Charlie and George were AMAZING and made the experience so much fun. The meals (and the boat’s cocktail jugs) were so good - 10/10 would recommend to any fellow travellers!!!
- Sarah, 25/09/2024 15:18, Travelled Solo
Nice way to travel round Croatia to get to see islands Crew on ship very nice Organisation good Food plentyful Group were Nice like minded
- Louise , 24/09/2024 19:23, Travelled Solo
I did the Navigator Cruise and had the time of my life. Seeing Croatia while staying on the water was such an awesome experience and such a unique way to travel. The crew on my boat were by far the highlight and I can’t thank our manager Toni and our waiter Nikola enough for making the experience as amazing as it was.
- Chelsey, 24/09/2024 01:22, Travelled Solo
Saša was the best guide for our group! He made a massive effort to get to know everyone on board and made sure everyone felt included. His energy and sense of humour was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire group, I couldn’t imagine doing Sail Croatia with anyone else!
- Caleb, 23/09/2024 23:18, Travelled Solo
Dino was an excellent sail leader. He provided great recommendations and helped make navigation super east. I’ve been able to return to Dubrovnik solo with no issues getting there. He made the trip very fun and carefree.
- Steph, 23/09/2024 12:51, Travelled Solo
I had a fantastic week on Sail Croatia. Our guide Toni was extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I would recommend Sail Croatia.
- Anonymous, 23/09/2024 11:43, Travelled Solo
Our tour guide Toni absolutely made our trip! We had some of not the best weather but the whole crew always went above and beyond to make it so enjoyable. It was one of the best weeks of my life! I went solo but immediately made friends, it was such a fun week. Could not recommend more :)
- Erin, 23/09/2024 11:40, Travelled Solo
I could not have asked for a better experience with Sail Croatia! The weather itself was not the best, however the crew did everything they could to give us the best week of our lives as that is completely out of their control. Being a female solo traveller it can be nerve wracking going into an environment like this one but the crew were so amazing and made me feel so comfortable the entire week! The breakfast and lunch provided were incredible and were the perfect balance between healthy but delicious. Everything was organised for us and our amazing tour rep Lauren would send us recommendations on beaches, activities, restaurants etc. as well as give us some background on each place we were docking. The rooms itself were small (as expected for a small boat) but everyone was pleasantly surprised with much room we were given, especially in the ensuites. Honestly could not have asked for a better week with Sail Croatia and would recommend it 100%!
- Anonymous, 23/09/2024 11:07, Travelled Solo
With Sail Croatia it is really for those aged between 18-28. Anyone above 30 and you feel a little out of place. These days everyone is traveling in groups of 2-6. Gone of the days of solo travellers from my recent sail where there was only 4 of us solo travellers. It does make it a little harder to meet people but I guess at the end of the day it really is a luck of the draw. It definitely is a good experience. Just prepare to be oboard with a bucket load of aussies haha
- dan, 19/09/2024 23:05, Travelled Solo
My Sail Croatia trip was great. My trip manager Marin did an incredible job, he was efficient, organised, helpful and caring. He made sure we were all looked after and always had everything sorted so we never had to figure anything out on our own. We were given great suggestions for each place and I felt he personally got to know us all individually which meant a lot. An experience I really appreciated was when I wanted to go home early from a night out and Marin personally went with me and helped me get home, it meant so much to me. The trip itself was great and the team accommodated us with the changing weather well and always had our best interest in mind. Thanks so much for all the hard work!
- Heather, 19/09/2024 03:39, Travelled Solo
I can truly say that my week on Sail Croatia aboard the Kapetan Jure, sailing from Split to Dubrovnik, was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Despite a few days of rough weather, Jess, our incredible Sail rep, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible, and she definitely succeeded. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm were infectious, always made sure everyone was having the time of their lives. Jess didn’t just guide the trip, she made it unforgettable. Without her, I wouldn’t have had such an extraordinary experience. The entire crew was fantastic, too! Papi, our captain, knew just how to lift our spirits, and his smile was contagious. The chef’s meals far exceeded my expectations—some of the best food I enjoyed during my entire trip through Europe. Every member of the crew brought so much joy and laughter to our journey. The last night and morning as we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t hold back the tears, I didn’t want it to end! Onto planning the next!
- Lauren, 17/09/2024 23:01, Travelled Solo
The experience of being on the boat, swim spots, and visiting the different islands was great. For those looking for a more adventurous trip might want something different as this has a lot of downtime. Great intro to life on a boat!
- S B, 17/09/2024 13:48, Travelled Solo
Had the most incredible week on Sail Croatia! Completely exhausting in the best way - days filled with swimming off the boat, exploring local towns, sunset drinks and then partying until sunrise. Our host Marin was incredible and absolutely made the trip - such a wonderful human with such great energy and always there to help when we needed. Couldn't have imagined a better week if I tried! Would highly recommend.
- Hannah, 17/09/2024 08:13, Travelled Solo
I had an incredible week with Sail Croatia and have nothing but positive feedback. I was fortunate to sail with a fantastic group of people, making lasting friendships and feeling welcomed as a solo traveler. Lauren, my representative, was exceptional—highly organized and always able to lift our spirits. The crew was outstanding, the food impressive, and everyone was approachable and eager to help. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities, including canyoning, biking, and buggies. Overall, the experience was perfect and ranks among the best things I’ve ever done. Thank you, Sail Croatia and Lauren—I highly recommend this experience!
- Scarlett, 17/09/2024 00:59, Travelled Solo
A comfortable ship crewed by an exceptional team and hosted by lovely knowledgeable hosts. The itinerary with cycling included was and varied and just the right distance and the information provided by our hosts prior to and during the rides was relevant, helpful and interesting. Although we had weather interruptions towards the end of he week, our crew and host did all they could to ensure we still had a fulfilling trip. The food was superb and plentiful prepared by an excellent chef who was a wonderful character and served by a most well mannered and delightful waiter who kept a clean and tidy salon. All crew were friendly, helpful and for whom nothing was any trouble. These are great holidays for meeting and spending time with new people who become friends. This is the second time I have taken a holiday with Sail Croatia and have loved both trips. I would book again in a heart beat if there was an itinerary that gave greater variation from the two trips I have now done.
- Steve, 16/09/2024 22:32, Travelled Solo
I recently had the pleasure of spending an incredible week sailing through the stunning Croatian coastline aboard the Kapetan June, and I can confidently say it was an experience I will cherish forever. From the moment we set sail, the adventure was nothing short of extraordinary. Our week was guided by the amazing rep, Jessica. From the very first day, Jessica's enthusiasm and professionalism made a big difference in our experience. She was always available to answer questions, share local insights, and organise fun activities that brought the group together. Her passion for Croatia and its culture was infectious, and she genuinely cared about ensuring that everyone had the best time possible. Thank you, Jessica, for making this trip so memorable! The crew on Kapetan June were friendly, attentive, and worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Their seamless teamwork helped create a relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to fully embrace the beauty of our surroundings.

Great experience! Beautiful places and people! Unfortunately the weather wasnt the best during the week but our skipper Dino made sure we stay safe the entire time, and even with the changes in itinerary still made sure we get to see everything planned. He also showed us how to put the sails up which was very cool. Would definitely recommend!
