We loved our weeklong cruise from SPLIT to DUBROVNIK on ESPERANZA. Everything about it was simply wonderful. The staff and crew were amazing, the chef and food delicious, the swim locations and ports were wonderful. Two suggestions: get better and stronger coffee without asking for extra payments—everyone on board was very unhappy with the quality. Also….hooks in the bedroom sections of the cabins for a quick hang up of clothes rather than the wardrobe. Bathrooms had hooks but the main section of the cabins could use them as well. .

We couldn't have enjoyed the Sail Croatia cruise more. The planning and food were exquisite. The swim stops in post card settings and quaint villages to stroll through everyday were a delight. Plus the way the group gelled together I believe helped with the enjoyment of the cruise. Already thinking about the next.

So so lovely aboard Olimp. Great swim stops every day with easy and safe access to the sea. Super 3 course lunches served beautifully. Comfy seating and lounging areas all around the boat and comfortable cabins. Thanks Sail Croatia for our 2nd holiday with you.

We had a wonderful cruise that we thoroughly enjoyed. Dino our tour guide was excellent, always helpful and always smiling. The captain Handsome George was a pleasure, the crew were great especially the girls Elle, Linda and Nicoletta. The cruise schedule was perfect with a morning swim stop every day and the afternoons in beautiful towns. We highly recommend this cruise.

We have been all over the world and had some amazing experiences from dogsledding in Alaska, riding the Rocky Mountaineer through Canada and walking the Camino through Spain but nothing will ever top this cruise. Our ship had just 15 other guests who were all wonderful friendly people. Every meal was a taste sensation and every day was filled with swimming in clear blue 27° water, visiting magnificent villages and experiencing a wonderfully vibrant part of the world. Thank you to Sail Croatia!

Our cruise holiday was idyllic from every standpoint! The Olimp luxury yacht offered a most unique cruise experience which felt very singular. We were indulged with a daily dip in the Adriatic’s crystalline and refreshing waters in tiny private coves where we could swim, snorkel or paddle board. It was a true highlight! The smaller cruise format allowed passengers to forge a more intimate interaction with one another which truly made for a memorable sail. The crew worked tirelessly in preparing gourmet fare, cocktails and catering to our every whim while maintaining an immaculate ship. Our Tour Director, Dino with his mega watt smile was always most eager to address any issues, offer tips and make solid resto recommendations - unfailingly! We thoroughly enjoyed our family cruise through the splendid Dalmatian coast - a 5-star experience!

We loved the destinations we went to and the daily swim spots selected by the Captain. We were very impressed with the great service we received from our cruise director Klara. She made sure all our needs were met in s friendly, cheerful manner

From boarding to disembarking a week later, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful service, good food and attention delivered by the crew on the Katrina. The itinerary was great offering a relaxing week with daily swim stops (with paddle boards and kayaking) and afternoon / evening excursions. Just a great trip and I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again.
- Bruce, 25/08/2026 16:29, Travelled in a Couple
Excellent holiday and meet some great people from around the world . Cruise manager was excellent with great communication regarding when and what was happening. The girl that cleaned my cabin was outstanding as well,and pleasant to talk with and always smiling. The remainder of the crew were less so . They failed to acknowledge you most times and were not interactive at all. We would have spent more money on bar if the staff had been better trained in the hospitality industry. .

Outstanding vacation, a lovely boat, amazing crew and fabulous guests to share our time and yes Nikos was great too. I would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia, my wife and I felt sad to be leaving, but have new friends and lovely memories.

I sailed on the Esperanza on the route Split Return South. For travelers who enjoy yacht living, Sail Croatia offers a great combination of onboard pampering and daily water activities plus land sightseeing. The Dalmatian coast offers beautiful vistas and calm waters in the islands. Each stop offered different experiences from hiking to the Mjlet “lakes” to sitting on the Hvar promenade and people watching, to shopping, learning history, and museum going in Split, Dubrovnik and Korcula.

My husband and I traveled to Croatia ,to see the country of my maternal grandparents. It was an incredible experience! The people of Croatia are helpful and welcoming. Many people speak excellent English which helps when asking for directions. The cities we visited were easily accessible along the Croatian coastline. There were some places that were challenging to access, due to stairs. We were able to climb at our own pace. The small ship, Olimp, was lovely, clean and comfortable. I appreciated the fact that if I was tired, or the weather was too hot, I could return to the ship and relax . After breakfast, we swam in a small cove everyday. What made the trip even more enjoyable, was meeting fellow passengers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. I absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience Croatia.
- Rita, 25/08/2026 12:41, Travelled with Family
I booked the trip because Croatia was on my bucket list and they were waiving the single supplement on a few sailings. We were a small group which made it a more intimate experience. My cabin was spacious and very comfortable. Our cruise director Lola was a dream. Very organized, kind and patient. The crew performed their jobs invisibly. The ports were all interesting but my favorite was the daily swim stops. Jump into the Adriatic sea and swim for an hour! The cruise was incredibly relaxing! The chef did a stellar job feeding us a healthy Mediterranean diet with decadent desserts.Can't recommend this trip enough!
- Heather, 25/08/2026 10:24, Travelled Solo
The vessel, the staff, the food and the swim stops were absolutely amazing. This is a must do experience if you are visiting Croatia. Highly recommend. 5 stars all round.

Everything was amazing, staff, swim stops, food and excursions, cabins, islands. I would do this again in a heart beat they made us feel very spoilt and well looked after we had a great group of people and made new life long friends.
- Marion, 25/08/2026 06:46, Travelled with Family
This was the first cruise we have done and turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was great. I was very fortunate to join with a fantastic group of people (28 in total) and we had the best time. The breakfast every morning was fresh. The 3 course lunch was always a treat and the Captains dinner was wonderful. The crew were all amazing. Cabins were larger than I was expecting and kept clean. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Excellent time! Vedran is great tour leader! This boat is Family owned and immaculate! All staff are family and they care deeply about the boat and assuring guests have a great time. The only reason I gave this a 4-star rating is that the air conditioning in the cabins just could not keep up with the boiling outside temperature. Most everyone had issues with the air conditioning. Also, in my opinion, the lighting in the bathrooms is not sufficient. PRO Tip 1: Evidently the cabins below deck stay cooler than those above deck PRO Tip 2: Bring clothing that is quick drying and can be washed in the sink or shower. There are ship bars outside the cabins on the upper deck where you can hang them to dry. Clothes pins are provided. PRO Tip 3: Do not bring anything fancy, cool light weight fabrics are best. PRO Tip 4: A portable travel fan will come in handy. PRO Tip 5: Buy Euro at first island stop for less than getting it at home if not your currency.

This was our first small ship cruise, accompanied by another couple (friends) who have been on lots of larger cruises, four of us did not know what to expect. On arrival, our tour guide Lola was very professional & welcoming which continued throughout the entire cruise! The boat (Romantic Star) was beautiful, clean & well maintained with all creature comforts. Our Captain and all crew were very pleasant and accommodating. Scenery of course was amazing!! Was lovely to be able to come and go from the boat when docked without being on time restraints, allowing us to explore each port at our own leisure or, take part in one of the many excursions both included and paid. For thrill seekers looking to go offroad on ATV tour we don't recommend as all roads are sealed and we felt price was a little expensive for what the tour included. Overall, we highly recommend anyone to Sail Croatia with Sail Croatia as we will again in the future!

We had the best experience n memories from this cruise ! It’s the first time we have ever done a small cruise like this ! It’s the prefect way to learn more about Croatia ! We loved the fact that we docked in a new town/ island every night where we can discover or do an activity during the day and find a place for dinner ! breakfasts are provided And a 3 course lunch ! The meals were all very nicely Presented and always hot ! In this cruise we also had a very fun captains dinner and a village dinner ! We loved the lamb pekka - still dreaming of how tasty it was ! Our cabin was very comfortable as we were very lucky to get the one in front and we had ample room and very comfortable! 1 thing that can be improved is to put an electrical fan in the cabin as the air con was not strong enough ! kudos must be given to the cleanliness of the Katarina boat ! crew is constantly cleaning and I have not seen a cleaner boat .. and finally the crew ! Thank you to captain Ivan, Goran, Ivana n Nikos

We had the most amazing week onboard Romantic Star. The crew were great, captained by Ivan. Our tour guide, Lola, couldn’t have been better. She was helpful, informative, great knowledge, spoke brilliant English and had a great sense of humour - all necessary for the group of passengers she was looking after! The choice and range of islands we visited were perfect. All different and all enjoyable. The excursions were fantastic too. The swim stops were one of my favourite parts of every day - such beautiful places chosen to stop. We were lucky with the group of passengers on the boat - all lovely people and super fun! We really hope we can return for another cruise one day. We’ve fallen in love with Croatia. Having never been before, the mini-ship cruise was the perfect introduction to this stunning country. Thank you Sail Croatia!
- Jane, 19/08/2026 09:03, Travelled in a Couple
We had the most amazing time on our Sail Croatia cruise and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of the biggest highlights was waking up each day and heading to a new, beautiful swimming spot — crystal-clear water, incredible scenery and the perfect way to spend each day. We also loved the people we met along the way. Sharing the experience with such a wonderful group made the trip even more special. But what really stood out was the amazing crew. Their care, attention and pride in looking after the boat was exceptional. They worked incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly and the boat in beautiful condition, while always making everyone feel welcome and looked after. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia. We’ve come home with some fantastic memories and friendships that we’ll treasure. ❤️

I can honestly say that my experience aboard the Katarina of Sail Croatia was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was beautifully organized, relaxed, and welcoming. The cruise was a fantastic way to discover the Croatian coast, with its breathtaking islands, crystal-clear waters, charming towns, and unforgettable swimming stops. Every day brought something new, while the atmosphere on board made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. A special thank you to the wonderful crew, who were attentive, professional, warm, and always ready to help. Their hospitality truly made the trip memorable. The food, service, organization, and overall standard were excellent. What I will remember most, however, are the people we met, the laughter, the beautiful moments, and the incredible memories we created along the way. The Katarina of Sail Croatia cruise was a truly a special experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

Absolutely exceeded expectations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Sail Croatia trip was even better than I imagined — and my expectations were already very high! The crew were energetic, friendly and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. The perfect mix of adventure, history, beautiful Croatian towns and those incredible swim stops. With the extreme heat, I would have happily had even more swim stops! Katarina was a beautiful boat and a real credit to the owner and crew, who worked constantly to keep her looking so well cared for. But what truly made the trip special was the people. We met such a wonderful group and shared so many laughs and memories. And our host ‘V’ was fantastic — his humour, energy and love for Croatia were infectious. I’m leaving with amazing memories and a real love for the Croatian coast. I hope to be back one day! 🇭🇷⛵️❤️

Highly recommend Sail Croatia. The people made the experience what it was; all of the crew and cruise director are superb! The crew was attentive, incredibly friendly, and remembered the small details that made interactions extra special. Our cruise director, Vedran, is wonderful. He’s knowledgeable, communicative, always one step ahead. His daily briefings were a welcome start to the day. The ship is family-owned and they take immense pride and care in the upkeep. They are present throughout the journey and even welcomes a few of us into the wheelhouse to talk to us about navigating the ship. Overall, a wonderful experience and I will definitely travel with Sail Croatia again.

Our Tour Manager, Anita did a wonderful job, caring for all of us and going out of her way to make sure we were all comfortable and happy. The ship was great and the weather was spectacular. The captain Ivan, and all the crew on board were friendly and hardworking. We were just sorry that the cruise only lasted one week, as we could have loved to explore more of Croatia.

Sail Croatia delivered a one of a kind experience that we will not soon forget. We were a group of 4 couples and this was our 1st time in Croatia. The tour offered us an amazing opportunity to hug the coastline, and see so many different islands-- big and small. The daily swim stops did not disappoint. They were spectacular! There truly was something for everyone. The entire crew was outstanding; and our tour manager Anita, was kind, caring, sweet, attentive, and funny. It's a 24/7 job to manage and please 30 plus varied guests. The rest of the guests were open, welcoming, and a true joy to be around! We could not have asked for better humans to dine and travel with! We hope our paths might cross again soon! Athina and Darcy xo
