Dino immediately set the tone of our journey — enjoy our wonderful country, learn our history , be safe and ask any question. He was very experienced. The ship was very nice, food was fine , crew was nice, cabins cleaned great . . . but the real credit goes to our cruise manager , Dino . Without a great cruise manager , this would be a very different journey . He was a good listener , gave great suggestions , used What’s App effectively to stay connected with everyone and was sincere . Bravo.

The Split return to Split itinerary was excellent and allowed us to see many islands and mainland cities.. Dino, the cruise manager communicated clearly, was organized, helpful, enthusiastic and upbeat. He was always available knowledgeable and entertaining.We couldn’t ask for a better manager! Dino guided us to incredible experiences such as the Hora Farm dinner, and also to restaurants and sites in each place we stopped. The crew on the Romantic Star was helpful and professional. The ship was clean and the accommodations were good. I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone traveling to Croatia.

We just completed our 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia aboard the Romantic Star. We made new friends with people from around the world who enjoyed the food, sun, and wine in Croatia as much as we did. What made the trip special was having Dino assigned to our boat as the cruise manager. He was funny, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to book optional dinners and activities that were special and unique experiences. He also providing valuable information and suggestions throughout the day which was immensely helpful. This trip far exceeded our expectations thanks to a wonderful group of guests and Dino and the crew going the extra mile.

Dino. He was subperb. Awesome attitude and enthusiastic. The sights and activities were also wonderful. Food, bedding/linens, and demeanor of serving staff crew members would have very much improved the experience. Dino is a gem and deserves every accolade and reward. Well beyond expectations!

Our group’s ages were mixed, 40s to 80s, 3 generations and 3 nationalities. Cruisers were similar in being interested in where they were and also relaxing. All enjoyed a drink. Group size was good, enabling interactions with a range of people. People met up in wine bars and restaurants to share stories and compare their travels. It made for fun times. Our guide, Klara was great. She gave clear presentations & shared information electronically on the highlights of our next island and what to see and do there. She always answered questions clearly and provided links eg on laundries. Boat spaces were good, most people enjoying the sundeck daily. Swim stops were well organised with easy water access . Range of activities offered was broad. I loved all the islands. They differed in histories, attractions, opportunities and atmosphere.. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was great, Enjoyed the Captain’s dinner, would have liked to hear him speak more about our lovely boat.

Excellent accommodations and staff, exceeded my expectations! The food was top notch! The staff made sure we had everything we needed and went out of their way to serve us!

We had the greatest experience. From the time we booked our trip, then embarked and met Mia at Port Gruz our Tour Manager, every part of the trip exceeded our expectations. The ship, Olimp, was luxurious in every detail. The Captain and crew were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and every one of them were kind and courteous. The trip itself was brilliant, Croatia, their islands and stunning coastline are all breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks to Mia and the crew for making our trip so memorable.

We had an amazing time sailing on the Queen Jelena with Sail Croatia!! Our guide, Mia, was wonderful, so knowledgeable on the sites we visited. We loved her! It was a great introduction to small boat cruising and we will definitely do it again. It was a beautiful trip with friends and also loved getting to know our travel mates. We just wish we had more time in some of the ports. Food was great. Accommodations surprisingly nice for small boat. Our favorite was hanging out with friends on the sun deck. The transport to from the boat worked out great too. Thank you Mia and Sail Croatia!! We will sea you again, for sure.

I can't fault a thing. Boat and cabin were so clean and comfortable. Food was amazing. Atmosphere and company were brilliant. A big shout out to The Captain and each and every member of staff who gave us a holiday to remember, especially Karolina and Tina. Many thanks. X

Our tour director, Vedran, and Esperanza's crew provided us with a great experience both on board and on shore. Their hospitality was exceptional, as they made every effort to ensure our experience was outstanding. Passengers from 4 different countries made the trip even more delightful. The weather was perfect for exploring the islands. Food was excellent both on the ship and at our ports of call. Although the May water temperature was cool, swimming off the back of the Esperanza was a daily ritual that made our trip even more memorable. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Overall, it was a fantastic experience; I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful week aboard Esperanza May 18 to 25. Our ship guide, Vedran ('V') was just the best in managing our group of 34 persons; V was an excellent communicator, readily available and always helpful. V kept us laughing and was so much fun, seeming to really enjoy his job. The ship was beautifully appointed; the rooms were spacious with great showers and lots of storage. We appreciated the rooms being cleaned early every day. We also really appreciated the ease of entering and exiting the sea from the ship during our daily swim stops . The quantity and quality of the food was perfect, beautifully presented and professionally served. Hats off to all of the onboard ship staff! We really liked the balance of ship and shore time, feeling that we had a relaxing time but also learned about the local history. The only 2 things we might have liked were an extra salad bar al lunch (long line up for salad) and possibly an optional drink package. Thank you Sail Croatia.

The cruise defied all expectations! The staterooms are comfortable, bathrooms and hairdryers, towels all perfect. Our Crew was amazing—they work hard and were exceedingly generous and kind. Our guide, Ioana, was smart and funny, thoughtful and dependable. The ship Olimp was bougie, bougie. Seriously, we are sailboaters and had no idea how beautiful the Olimp would be. Gleaming! Our group of 8 made fast friends with all of our other traveling companions. Lots of laughter and joviality.❤️ five stars isn’t enough!

I would give Sail Croatia two thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 100% — or whatever else I can say to express just how amazing this experience was! The cruise was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The crew was top notch — friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with delicious meals that exceeded all expectations. It was truly an unforgettable trip, and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience. If you're thinking about booking with Sail Croatia, do it — you won’t regret it!

Organization, correspondence, accommodations on the boat, and our guide who stayed on the boat and delivered daily short information talks with us were all superb. A couple suggestions.... The village dinner in our Dubrovnik to Split sailing was bery disappointing. Main course definitely weak and very ordinary...pasta with very little beef bits. Also it was so loud in there due to very poor acoustics you could barely have a conversation with the people right across from you. The bedding on our beds on the boat was ok but you should add a second or thicker blanket

My partner and I recently sailed with Sail Croatia alongside a group of 20 friends and acquaintances—and what an unforgettable experience it was! From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear we were in for something truly special. The other passengers onboard became fast friends. There was a wonderful sense of camaraderie and shared adventure that made every moment even more enjoyable. The crew were outstanding—professional, warm, and attentive. The food was consistently amazing, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance: breakfast and lunch onboard, with plenty of time to explore the stunning ports each day. A special shoutout to our program director, "V," who was a truly delightful human being and played a big role in making this one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever had. Highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized adventure!

The four of us set out to Croatia from Canada via Prague. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with humour and. Assistance. The entire trip we were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful cruise and scenic views. It was a wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday with my spouse and best friends. Throughout the cruise we were updated about excursions and opportunities to visit sites.

From the moment we stepped onboard it was a surreal experience. Our fabulous cruise director Ioana was so much fun very informative and helpful and was super engaged with all the passengers and crew alike. The rest of the crew were fantastic Evo and Al keeping us well hydrated and the Chef and Sous Chef served us delicious food everyday. We loved all the islands we stopped at and swims along the way were great fun. Finally Captain George was very approachable and we felt we were in very safe hands … we loved the Captain’s dinner and hearing all about the history of the Olimp and his boating background. Highly recommend this ship and cruise and would love to be back on board thanks to all the crew 🤩

Absolutely outstanding Tour Manager Ioana & Crew plus the most pleasant fellow passengers imaginable, Olimp was outstanding: chic, comfortable & immaculately clean. Ioana was highly professional, personable, amusing & a great organizer. Jura, our captain, also. Like way he sat at every table in the captains diner. Ivor, our 'maitre d' is also the consummate professional with an amazing memory for every passenger's request. Every single crew member was personable & good at their role. Food & drink choice was superb. A few observations . 1. The noise level in the dining salon was often uncomfortable for me, I have hearing impairment but the high noise level alarms on our iPhones were triggered twice. This could be simply rectified by an acoustic specialist. 2. 8 am is early for a holiday breakfast. Could it be slipped an hour. 3. Getting out of the sea onto the rear platform is not easy.. A conventional boat ladder would help.. 3. Magnifying mirrors in cabins would aid personal care.

This was one of the most beautiful and relaxing vacations we've had in years. Staff was AWESOME. We were amazed that the chef managed to serve such high quality food each day to this group, and our guide Ioana was absolutely delightful! Everyone is attentive, professional, kind. My friend scraped her knee on an excursion and the captain provided bandages, etc. The included walking tours are well worth it, and there was just the right amount of structured vs unstructured time where we could do our own exploring, or just relax. The southern cruse (that goes from Split to Dubrovnik and back not only has gorgeous scenery but also a wonderful historical, cultural, and architectural overview of the area. Croatia has been strategically significant since pre-Greek times and there are many influences you can see in the architecture - which is beautiful and fascinating!

Sail Croatia is dedicated to making sure that everyone is taken care of in every way possible. The cabin accommodations are excellent; the tour director and the entire crew were all very attentive and professional; the breakfast and lunches very tasty and plentiful! Whoever thought having a 3 course lunch with wine is the perfect way to begin an afternoon of relaxation on the sun deck! That is, unless you're going out on an excursion or a walk through the various towns on the beautiful islands. We highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Patricia , 20/05/2025 19:18, Travelled in a Couple
We enjoyed having a relatively small group of fellow travellers being 36 in total from Australia, Canada, South Africa, UK and USA. Our cabin was comfortable although the quality in pillows and towels was poor. The chef and catering staff did a magnificent job with meal preparation it’s was always delicious The dining saloon however was very noisy during meal times and made conversation difficult The islands/towns visited all had something different to enjoy and we soon chose our favourites. The staff were all friendly and courteous and the boat comfortable and in good condition .We were disappointed that smoking was allowed in the inside deck area which was enclosed with plastic coverings. and attached to the dining saloon. This was especially unpleasant and meant many of us could not utilise this area. This issue was reported to the staff however we felt the resolution unsatisfactory. Regardless of these issues we did enjoy the experience and had a lot of laughs.
