The Best Week - with the best people

Yoga Cruise 2026 Dora, the cruise manager, the crew and the mix of travellers made this the perfect week away. If I could rate 6 stars I would it’s simply that good. Prefect mix of itinerary, ports, food, fun, activities, morning yoga and fellow travellers all out for a good time. The days filled with fun on the ship, docking and evenings are wide open to explore, eat and enjoy the magical Croatian islands. This is the definition of the best one week vacation - I recommend this in an instant - book and you will never look back.

Sail Croatia fabulous time

We had a wonderful time. The ship was clean at all times. After our swim the staff was mopping the floors. Our room was cleaned every day. This attention to detail was apparent and appreciated. Everyone was friendly and kind. The food was always delicious. Hanna our cruise director was so helpful and her informative presentations at lunch helped us with what to do on each island and learn a little history of the people. You couldn’t help but notice how hard she worked caring for 35 guests around the clock. We loved her. We made so many friends while we were on board, it was an unexpected surprise. I would recommend this cruise to anyone thinking about visiting Croatia. Our thanks to all your wonderful crew that made this trip so memorable.

Best Vacation Ever!

What an incredible week! We spent 7 days aboard the Salve Di Mare with just 33 passengers, and it was easily the highlight of our two weeks in Croatia. At 162 feet, the boat had all the creature comforts we could ask for, but was still small enough to visit the charming little ports and historic towns and islands along the Dalmatian coast. Every day seemed to have the perfect balance of exploring, amazing food, fascinating history and time to simply relax. I especially miss our daily swim stops in beautiful, secluded coves with crystal-clear water. What really made the week unforgettable was the crew. Vicko, our fun organizer, was fantastic and by the end of the week felt more like family. The entire crew was warm, friendly and made us feel completely at home. We made wonderful memories and made wonderful new friends. I would go back tomorrow if I could!

An Incredible Experience

We had the pleasure of sailing with best crew who were incredibly professional, kind, knowledgeable, outgoing and fun. Marin led the charge and his positive attitude and thorough commutation set the tone for the best experience. Kristijana (boat manager) was behind the scenes allowing for the operation to run seamlessly. Neno and Jovana (bartenders) were so kind and engaging, and became fast friends with all of the guests. Marko and Bane (chefs) prepared delicious meals each day. Joy (housekeeper) made our rooms spotless daily, and Charlie, Tino (sailors) and Slavko (captain) made sure the boat and our voyage was safe and smooth. Each of these individuals work tirelessly to make everyone’s experience extraordinary. The service provided exceeded our expectations. Croatia is such a unique and stunning country. Sail Croatia allowed us to see so many incredible areas and learn about the history, culture and beauty the country has to offer. I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Sail Croatia Absolutely Amazing

Had an amazing time on Sail Croatia. From the moment we boarded until we departed. Daily swim stops were fantastic, All the crew were extremely accommodating and the Contessa facilities were amazing

Exceptional Explorer Cruise Aboard The Contessa

Our Explorer Cruise aboard The Contessa from Split to Dubrovnik was a five star experience from start to finish. Our onboard representative Marin was front and centre on the pier welcoming everyone as suitcases were being loaded and from that point forward he did an exceptional job managing the itinerary, and sharing his knowledge and passion for Croatia throughout the trip. We also received great service onboard with the crew: Ivana, Neno, Charlie, ,and Joy. They were all super friendly and hard-working and it was a pleasure getting to know them over the course of the trip. The food on the cruise was over the top and chefs Bane and Marko were a fantastic culinary team. A special shout out to.the boat manager Kristijana for going above and beyond to have my suitcase, delivered to the ship on one of the islands because the airline had left it behind on a connecting flight. Thank you. Marin and team for making this and outstanding holiday experience that we highly recommend!

Unforgettable Cruise

Perfect week onboard the Salve di Mare. The ship is beautiful, mix of traditional and modern. Croatia has to be the most beautiful place in Europe with every beach, cove and town being as stunning as the next. But it’s the crew, guide and fellow travellers that made it really special. Surpassed all expectations, which were high anyway. Worth 10 stars! Highly recommended

- Phil, 24/08/2026 08:48, Travelled in a Couple

Unforgettable

We had an excellent time with Sail Croatia and the Salve Di Mare. The crew and our host were so fun and accommodating. It was the perfect way to explore the Dalmatian Coast.

- Dillon, 24/08/2026 02:12, Travelled in a Couple

Everything was perfect!!

Swimming in the clear, warm Adriatic sea every day was spectacular. My favorite part. The food on the boat was 10 out of 10. Did not expect every meal to be literally amazing. And I have high food standards. I took a picture of every 3 course lunch. Amazing!! This is a must do vacation at least once in a lifetime…. Oh and the crew would go out if their way every time you needed anything… unreal experience.

BEST trip EVER!!!!

This was my wife and I's first cruise, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We joined another couple who chose the trip, and we're so glad they did. The Explorer level was perfect for active people in their 40s/50s who enjoy having fun both on and off the boat. The crew was AMAZBALLZ: accommodating, fun, knowledgeable, and always making sure we had everything we needed. Hana, our tour director, went above and beyond to make the trip special. Kafka and Cesar were outstanding, always taking great care of us and adding to the experience. We even got to meet the owner of the Almissa, Pave, who was super friendly and fun to spend time with. The captain and crew kept everything running smoothly all week, which was especially appreciated during the heat. What an incredible way to experience Croatia and enjoy our first cruise. The memories will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Croatia

When I booked the trip with sail Croatia I wasn’t really sure what to expect. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Every day we stopped in the morning for a swim and then dock for the evening. All the towns were beautiful and we enjoyed every excursion we did. The staff on the boat were exceptionally nice. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you sail Croatia.

Excellent Week

A wonderful way to finish our time in Europe. On the Almissa from Split to Dubrovnik the Captain & Crew ensured our time on and off the ship (& in the water) was fantastic.

Explorer cruise - Split to Dubrovnik

We travelled from Split to Dubrovnik on an Explorer cruise on the Esperanz in early August. The cruise was amazing for a number of reasons. The boat was very comfortable with a nice sized cabin, a great roof top area to sunbake and a great dinning room. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating and the cruise director was brilliant. The itinerary was great with the daily swim stops in crystal clear water and then then docking in port for an evening experience. The islands were amazing with each town that we visited had something different to offer. Every island had great restaurants and bars with friendly staff. We also had a great group on the boat. There were around 20 guests on our trip and everyone got on really well. The cruise director made sure there were plenty of networking opportunities which made the trip more enjoyable. We made new friends, shared lots of experiences and we were sad to finish the trip. Overall, and amazing trip and highly recommended.

Holiday To Remember

Fantastic trip on the Dubrovnik to Split Route 5 stars all the way Made all the better by the fantastic crew and the camaraderie that quickly developed between the guests who soon became friends Highly recommended

Must Do Trip once in your life

Our trip on the Salve Di Mare was unbelievable. Everyone on the crew made us feel like family from the captain, to the sailors, to our favorite bartenders Marco and Vlaho, the chefs Bojan and Elena, the maid Julija and our amazing cruise director Barbara. Everything was first class and 5 stars. Dining was gourmet 5 star meals. Accommodations were spacious, clean and quiet. There was a good mix of scenic sailing when we could relax in the sun, daily swim stops, great meals and amazing destinations. There were daily excursions offered but we opted to simply take the time in port to explores the quaint ancient cities and walk the cobbled streets. The local food for dinners was great. The entire week was well plan and I would without hesitation recommend everyone to choose Sail Croatia. I would definitely choose the Salve Di Mare as it was much more luxurious than other yachts but well worth the higher price. Your only regret will come the last day when you must say goodbye

Salve di Mare

We recently enjoyed a trip on Salve di Mare and was one of the best cruise experiences I've ever had. The staff were all great. The chefs on the boat were top notch. Our coordinator Barbara was the best and made planning excursions/dinners effortless. Every day was carefully planned and made the trip seamless and stress free. Would definitely book again and plan on it.

- Joe, 28/07/2026 18:05, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing, friendly & helpful crew

We enjoyed our 7 day cruise. Niko was very informative of the history of our stops and things to do and places to eat. We couldn’t fault any of the crew, they were all very friendly and helpful.

Incredible

The reviews don't lie. It's a five-star experience in a spectacular country with beautiful people. My wife and I went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and were treated to a first-class trip in every way. Our cruise director was outstanding: knowledgeable, funny, well connected and became a good friend. Our fellow travelers were wonderful; plenty of opportunities to connect and also do our own thing. The boat was beautiful and the food was fantastic. Croatia is a dream of a country; the islands are so lovely, each a little different from the last. The weather was perfect. We couldn't recommend more highly.

- James, 21/07/2026 17:33, Travelled in a Couple

What a cruise

Moment we boarded the ship the service was top level. Our tour manager Barbra was amazing giving us our daily activities and giving us a good overview of each stop. The chefs that provided us our 2 meals each day were so delicious. The way the ship is set up is a great way to meet and get to know all the guests on the boat. Got to make a lot of new friends from the Uk,USA and Australia. We recommend this trip to anyone that would like to have a relaxing trip, eat great food, visit hidden gems of Croatia and meet amazing people from all over. Pictures do not do it justice, you have to visit yourself to see the true beauty of the country of Croatia

- Orrie, 21/07/2026 08:23, Travelled in a Couple

A good time with Sail Croatia!

We had a really good time on board the Salve di Mare, Split to Dubrovnik. The food was very tasty, every staff member was friendly and professional, and the ship was spotless and well appointed. The swim stops were mostly incredible (the last one near Dubrovnik was less special and secluded than the others). We didn't get to do the Blue Cave tour as scheduled; still not sure why not. My only real criticism is that the ship didn't have karaoke!! 😜

Queen Jelena Explorer Cruise

An unforgettable experience. The boat was immaculate, and the cabins, complete with private ensuites, were comfortable and well maintained. The staff were amazing, and the delicious three-course meals served every day were definitely a highlight. The food was consistently excellent, and the crew went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. One of the best parts of the trip was the wonderful group of fellow guests, along with the outstanding crew. Our cruise guide, Dino, was exceptional. He was friendly, approachable, and genuinely cared about making sure every guest had the best possible experience. He took the time to understand what my partner and I enjoyed and recommended excursions that suited us perfectly. Beyond the cruise itself, Dino shared fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, bars, and hidden gems in every town we visited, helping us experience Croatia like a local. He is a real asset to Sail Croatia, his passion and pride for his country shone through

Why would you ever want to leave

Sailing on the Ezperanza with Sail Croatia was honestly one of those trips that just felt easy in the best way. From the start, it didn’t feel like a typical tour—it felt more like being part of a group of friends all exploring together. Every day had its own rhythm, whether we were cruising through ridiculously clear water, stopping to swim in quiet little coves, or wandering through coastal towns that somehow all felt unique. And the views never got old—just endless blue water, sun, and those unreal sunsets that made you stop and take it in. What really made it stand out, though, was the vibe on the boat. The crew set the tone, and everyone just clicked. It was a mix of relaxing during the day and fun nights hanging out, laughing, and enjoying the moment. The Ezperanza ended up feeling like our home for the week, and by the end, it didn’t even feel like a trip anymore—it felt like something we didn’t want to leave.

Sail Croatia - Salve Di Mare

Everything was perfect with Sail Croatia, especially in Salve Di Mare, the cruises that we haved sail. The captain was a great guy, also all crew member. Josip, our tour guide, was also always very helpful and kind. Excellent food and drinks. Beautiful excursions. It was an even better experience than we could have expected.

Croatia trip

Spectacular

- Anonymous, 15/06/2026 09:44, Travelled in a Couple

Good trip could use a few tweaks.

Cabin:: + adequate space. -- cigarette smoke frequently entered our cabin (15) via the a/c system. As nonsmokers w tobacco allergies, It was very problematic as it started early in the morning and last into the late evening affecting our sleep. Ship: + nice facilities and layout. — the not hot, hot tub was not filled until 1/2 way thru the cruise. And then not really utilized. Recommend repurposing that space for 6 more lounges so most passengers can have a lounge. Food: + passionate chef and assistant. Hot food available w breakfast and lunches. Really good quality. Service was great (Mario). Bar: + staff friendly and helpful. — unfortunately wines by the glass were restricted to one brand and were of poor quality and overpriced. You pay € for all beverages, tea, coffee, sodas, juices and again more than what u pay in ports. Coffee,tea,and juices only provided at breakfast. For lunch, only water served. Easy to have added inexpensive iced tea. Active:: + pleasant staff - disorganiz

- Joseph, 15/06/2026 09:22, Travelled in a Couple

The perfect week

The Mali Ante was the perfect ship to be on. The cruise food was great Croatia style meals and the drink prices were reasonable. The Captain’s dinner was perfect, as were the drinks and dancing afterwards. Our cruise director, Elena, was very helpful and knowledgeable. We cruised in early June, which I think is the perfect time to go. The water is just warm enough to swim, but the cities are not as crowded as they will be later in the summer. Recommend bringing swim shoes, an inflatable “noodle”, and maybe a 1mm neoprene swim top if you get easily cold when swimming. Also, we liked our lower cabin. Seemed to be a little roomier and quieter.

We were disappointed in several aspects of this cruise. I will send an email to Sail Croatia outlining my concerns.

BEST WEEK EVER

Unbelievable week. Everything was amazing! Food, service, Organisation, Tours and everything in between was perfection. The explorer trip on the Almissa was perfect for us ( 25 & 32 ) Good mix of party and chill and the Almissa crew are amazing.

Amazing experience!

My wife and I had an amazing time on board Salve Di Mare, we did the explorer cruise, which was just perfect for us, offering grear activities but was also very relaxing. Our ship was beautiful, spacious rooms, great areas for soaking up the sun and just beautiful all round. Matilda, our rep was amazing. She went above and beyond for each guest, was super friendly, gave great insights into each location we went to, helped ensure each activity and program ran smoothly. She also gave fantastic recommendations into where to eat, drink and enjoy the locations we would stop at. Matilda did an amazing job as our rep, we were super lucky to have her. A special thank you as well to our amazing crew, Captain Frane, Sailors Fadil and Richi, Waiters/Barmen Vlaho and Marko, Chefs Bojan and Fani, and our Maid Julija. You all were absolutely amazing and so great at your jobs. Thank you! We made many fantastic memories, and new friendships too. Sail Croatia is definitely a top highlight for us.

Why would I ever travel any other way again?

Best holiday ever. From the boat and the tour guide, to the stops and food. Ceili, our tour guide, was amazing - super professional but still showing us where we can find something fun, interesting, and exciting. Always came up with the best suggestions and was happy to hear our experiences at places we discovered on our own. The organized group dinners, drinks, and moments were great. Thanks for taking us up that hill Ceili!! The boat and crew need a separate review of their own to brag about how perfect they were. Stews and deck hands were great - I’ll miss my dudes, Niksha and Damir. They were on point with the service and always made sure we had what we need. The Tempera boat was great. I consider myself lucky to get a chance to “live” on the beautiful boat for a week. I spent so much time on the top deck and the salon was a great place to grab a drink and take a break from the sun. 10/10 would do this all over again!

- Daniel, 04/06/2026 11:14, Travelled in a Couple

Best vacation ever!

What a lovely vacation! This might have been one of my favorite trips ever. The Dalmatian islands are absolutely breathtaking and I would do this exact same cruise again. The ship was nice, comfortable and clean. Ceili, our tour manager, was fun, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. Our waiters, Nikša and Dimir, were attentive, friendly and funny. Even Peter, one of the sailors was nice enough to give us some recommendations for Dubrovnik on the last day. I highly recommend Sail Croatia and I hope to be on one of their ships again soon.

- Julian, 01/06/2026 17:41, Travelled in a Couple

Greatest way to see Croatia

Calum was a great guide that kept everyone happy. Nano and all the crew of the Contessa was were awesome. The small ports access and not fighting the crowds of big cruise ships was great. I would do this exact trip with the exact group again.

Terrific Tempera

The journey through the Croatian Islands from Dubrovnik to Split was amazing. The Sail Croatian representative on board Tempera had very detail knowledge of locations and activities. Tempera crew were friendly, engaging and added to a great holiday with well planned swim stops. Amazing holiday.

First voyage on the Contessa!

We recently finished a Sail Croatia cruise aboard the Contessa, and overall it was a fantastic experience. The weather took a little while to come good, but once it did, the trip really turned into something special with beautiful stops, great swimming spots, and an awesome atmosphere onboard. The Contessa is a newer ship, and while there were definitely a few early “gremlins” to work through, the crew handled everything professionally and always did their best to make sure guests were looked after and having a good time. You could tell the team genuinely cared about creating a great experience. A special mention has to go to Tino the sailor, who was an absolute standout throughout the trip. Friendly, very hardworking, and he really helped make the cruise memorable (including getting the hot tub going!) Big credit as well to Cal for keeping the vibe fun and social the entire week. Overall, despite a few small hiccups that come with a new vessel, we had an amazing time!!

Amazing adventure!

My wife and I had such a blast on our Sail Croatia cruise. The crew was amazing, and Mirin was an incredible guide the whole way. It was the perfect mix of being able to relax when we wanted, explore on our own, or join in on group excursions onboard. We ended up making friends with everyone on the cruise, and by the end we were all so close that we were genuinely sad to leave. It was an unforgettable experience and we would highly recommend it!

Awesome cruise

Our first cruise with Sail Croatia and in Croatia. Our boat, Salve Di Mare, was really impressive, comfortable, well maintained and our below deck cabin was larger than we expected. Our fellow guests were a fantastic bunch and everyone had a great time. The crew were a highlight of the cruise, especially Marco and Vlaho, our bar staff/waiters, who made sure everyone was looked after. The food was delicious and we were sad to leave the ship. Our tour guide, Nikos, was the best and ensured everyone had a great trip. I would definitely recommend this cruise and would happily book another cruise with this company.

Cash and Passport

I had a fantastic time on my Sail Croatia cruise—the route, crew, and food were all great. That said, I was surprised by the 40€ tourist tax per person, which wasn’t clearly explained upfront and for which I received no receipt. I also wasn’t comfortable with how our passports were left in an unlocked plastic box in the dining salon at night, with no visible security. Tipping felt a bit awkward too, especially when envelopes were later collected over WhatsApp after limited communication. Overall, I’d still recommend Sail Croatia, but these small improvements would make the experience even better.

Best Honeymoon

We took the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise from Dubrovnik to Split and we had the Time of our Lives. Our entire crew was amazing from Vicko our Representative who was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. Every morning he provided us with the details of all the local spots to visit and directions on how we could get there. As well as providing amazing stories and history about the area, Our Bartenders Damir & Niksa were so friendly and attentive if we ever needed anything they were there to provide & provide a good time. Our Chefs Vlado & Daki we so amazing at preparing Gluten Free meals for my wife to fit her dietary needs and never made her feel like she was missing out on a meal. Even though we had an itinerary change due to weather our sailors and captain made us feel safe and kept us informed of the changes as soon as possible. The entire crew was so amazing and the excursions prepared even with a change were so engaging and amazing. We would do this every year!

A week on Tempera

We travelled from Split to Dubrovnik on their first cruise for the season ( 25 April) — boat was well equiped , cabin was very comfortable — ensuite bathroom great — meals weee ALL excellent and bar was well stocked and run ! Viscko our “ leader” for the week was well organised , very informative and knowledgeable , and was enthusiastic all week !! The crew were a great bunch , always there to help or just talk ! Swims off the back of the boat were BRACING but bloody good fun ! Loved our stops at all the islands — good variety of stops — always docked very close to cafes or the centres at each venue. We would travel with these guys on this boat again in a heartbeat !!

- Keith, 05/05/2026 10:33, Travelled in a Couple

Great time

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!

Split Return Oct'25

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.

34 pax 7 night Dubrovnik to Split.

Swim stops. Port visits. Particularly Korcula and Omiš. Barman ‘Milan’ was a genuine, nice guy. I still believe our room ‘0’ was bigger than others. I asked and was told the rooms were the same size, however when I peeked into a twin room ours was definitely larger! Not so great - Breakfast was monotonous, same every day. Really need a FOC push button coffee machine for use throughout day. The American drip coffee was rubbish and yes paid for the nespresso style coffee from the bar but e3.50 for something not that good. Our window leading outside next to the door required a curtain as well as the twisted Venetian blind there. I had to put up a makeshift curtain to block out the exterior downlights rays coming in. We spoke to a couple who were on a Sail Croatia boat with the same timings as ours and they raved about the food, as prepared by ‘two mamas’ who obviously cooked from the heart. Unlike our chefs!!

Sail Croatia Salve fi Mare

Staff, locations and other passengers.

- Mark, 01/10/2025 18:16, Travelled in a Couple

Totally Impressed

We set up this trip with 7 couples and we didn't really know what to expect. We read all the information but we really didn't know that is was going to be a lot better than advertised. Everything about the boat and the staff was just what we had hoped. The travel, the food, the guide all made the trip a ten for us. We actually loved this trip better than when we went to Greece. The only way to travel Croatia is by boat.

- Terry, 29/09/2025 00:35, Travelled in a Couple

We can't say enough good things!

We had the absolute BEST time aboard the Salve di Mare sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. The route and timing of the voyage provided a steady crescendo with a stunning finale. Each island better than the last. Our tour manager Klara was very engaged, helpful, informative, personable, and frankly quite funny. We loved her. We also became very fond of our fellow travelers. The accommodations left us wanting for nothing, the meals exquisite, and the scenery and excursions just lovely and memorable. One of our best trips.

- Michael, 25/09/2025 15:35, Travelled in a Couple

You won't be sorry

For a completely different experience in visiting the Islands off the Croatian coast, there is no better way to do it than on a luxury yacht. No moving your luggage; 2 gourmet meals a day; expert tour guide with you all the time with daily briefings; daily awesome swims off the boat away from shore in the crystal clear Adriatic; full bartending; daily housekeeping; engaging crew. Meet 38 travelers from around the world & bond. Why do it any other way? I can't wait to do it again next year in a different country. Very well run organization "Sail Croatia". Just pick the one grouping of the 3 types of ships that matches your age group & desires & you're off to a memorable vacation.

A very well planned and executed holiday. Our first time on a small ship and it won’t be the last. Food fantastic crew fantastic and Croatia was beautiful.

Great destinations. Great crew. Good breakfasts, lunches not so great. The wine tasting tour was a waste of time and money,. Dino was a terrific tour leader 5 stars. The captains dinner was good but like I said the lunches need improving.. thoroughly enjoyed the swimming stops and also all the port stops. Croatia is a beautiful country. Would recommend this cruise if the lunches improved .

- Jurgen, 22/09/2025 07:34, Travelled in a Couple

Incredible experience

Trip was well organized, the sights and stopes were amazing, the service on the boat, especially Marko the bartender was superb, and our cruise director Vicko was phenomenal.

Tempera Explorer Cruise Sept 25

All the places we visited with the people and this could not have been so enjoyable without our host Sasha who was always available and very understanding and knowledgeable which made for a amazing vacation 👌

- Steven, 15/09/2025 13:13, Travelled in a Couple

Disappointing

First of all, let me say that the people involved (crew, etc.) were excellent. I have no problem with any of them. Our cruise director was especially friendly and personable. Plus, I found Croatia to be a most beautiful country. That said, it was not one of my favorite trips. I found most places we stopped to be glorified "tourist traps." Most things were far too expensive, and we were constantly confronted with cost after cost for anything we might want to do. I think that should I ever return to Croatia, I'd probably pick one or two places and spend more time exploring more than just tourist trap stuff. I guess that could be said, however, for many such cruises, etc. Have traveled to several countries, however, this will not be considered one of my favorites.

- Kenneth, 15/09/2025 10:23, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing Sail and Crew!

We had an amazing time on our sail Croatia yoga cruise. The entire crew was amazing, kind and friendly. Very hardworking and deserve more down time off between charters. The boat was wonderful and rooms clean and good size vs expectations. The chef was awesome and made delicious meals every day. Breakfast was basic with some meats cheeses, fruit, toast, eggs. My suggestion would be a blender for smoothie and microwave to reheat cold food. Lunch was delicious but having an idea of what it is before hand would be helpful for those selective eaters so they can have more breakfast or select the vegetarian option if they want. The yoga was great and excursions were fun and easy to sign up with each day. Posting the options on the whiteboard in the saloon, daily meals and schedule etc would be very helpful to prevent so many msgs on what’s up. I found the group chat nice but too many msgs and questions of things we were already told. Overall, we loved it and would do it again! Thanks

Best Holiday Ever

Everything was first-rate and professionally run. The scenery and the cruise alone were worth the cost. Staff and food on board were excellent

Mali Ante

We had a fantastic time with an amazing crew. The service, support and organisation was first class. The traditional Croatian food was excellent and our captain took us to some hidden swim stops. Our tour manager went above and beyond, booking us reservations and taking us to some beautiful Croatian places.

- Evan, 08/09/2025 09:52, Travelled in a Couple

Very very nice overall

The highlight of a Sail Croatia cruise are the incredible islands you visit and the fun activities available on all. I could nit-pick over little things we did not like which is why we give it a 4-star not 5. More than happy to share the constructive comments if you like in a separate communication. Always best to have objective and fair feedback to help you constantly improve. Overall a great experience.

Customer focus

The trip destinations and food was great. The attitude of some staff including the cruise director was pretty poor. The captain of the boat and chef were excellent but other staff were openly stating they were over the season and complaining or arguing with the customers. The cruise director twice had harsh words with us through no fault of our own which is unacceptable.

Ceira, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2025-10-03:

Hi Peter, Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the destinations and food, and we appreciate your kind words about the captain and chef. However, we regret to hear about your experience with some of our staff and the tour representative. This is not the level of service we strive to provide. For this week, guest ratings were generally high, with most scoring 4 and 5 stars for the crew, so I’m sorry to hear your experience was not the same. We expect all our customers to have the same experience throughout the season and your comments have been passed on to our management team, and we’ll address this with the crew to ensure improvements are made. Thank you.

Loved it!

Did a western med cruise with my Mrs on the MSC Splendida. We were treated like royalty from the minute we got on, till we got off. Extremely pleased with everything on board including the fantastic staff. Food was also 10/10 in the restaurant. Booking another cruise with you guys an will be looking forward to it.

Explorer Cruise Dubrovnik to Split.

The overall organization of the trip was top not notch from the time we met our boat in Dubrovnik and ended the trip in Split. Day to day activities coupled with Island hopping was the best. The actual trip was much more than what was described in the literature from Sail Croatia.

- Phillip, 01/09/2025 20:51, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing Cruise

Dino and the crew made this cruise an absolute delight

- Gavan, 01/09/2025 08:55, Travelled in a Couple

10 out of 10 week

We were onboard Almissa for our split to Dubrovnik cruise and we couldn’t fault it. Dino our tour manager made everything so easy and adjusted the itinerary to suit the weather and make sure we were able to see all the sights. The waiters, sailors, captain and chefs also did an unreal job at tending to all our needs. 3 course lunches and buffet breakfasts were perfect. Would definitely do this trip again without hesitation.

- Adam, 01/09/2025 08:32, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing experience!

The whole trip and itinerary was great! Loved exploring all the towns and the swim stops in between! Cant recommend this experience enough! Special mention to Max, who was really the highligh of our trip! Always checked in with us and made sure we were having a great time! He is the gem of the Tempera! Food was good and we loved our experience!

- Darren, 01/09/2025 06:59, Travelled in a Couple

Overall a great experience

We had a really lovely time. We were lucky enough to only have 16 people on our boat which meant we had lots of space and there was no issues getting deckchairs etc. I would imagine that with 40 people on board the boat would feel a little cramped, and getting a deckchair might be something of a challenge. The boat itself is beautiful and well looked after. The staff were really lovely and very accommodating. Unfortunately, the food was not good and certainly didn't math the price point. This was an opinion was shared by many of the other guests. Besides this, everything else on the boat was great. The Itinerary (Split - Dubrovnik) was great. The stops were beautiful and the excursions offered were on the whole really great. Overall it was a great experience and we had a lovely time.

- Sam, 28/08/2025 00:27, Travelled in a Couple

Fun & Relaxing Time

We really enjoyed the size of the boat, the crew who was very helpful but gave plenty of space to the guests. The food was good as well. We enjoyed the relaxed nature of the boat and we could come and go as we wanted to in the ports. The recommendations from the crew was very helpful. Thanks again.

Nothing Like a Cruise Ship: Good and Different

Having cruised 8+ times in different parts of the world in groups of 4 to 8 friends or family we were a little nervous of a boat with 26 other people my wife and I would have to mingle with, regardless of whether we lijed them or not. We were also concerned with a bar tab that was not payable by card or pre-paid with a drinks package prior. However, we wanted a more intimate and overnight relationship with the towns and restaurants that a cruise boat cannot provide. Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. With ~28 others + crew of 6 & an onboard tour operator/guide we all bonded very quickly. Kristina & I are 60. There was a couple who were 62. Everyone else was 30's, 40's & 50's. Yes, the 30's partied hard but were respectful & were on well earned breaks from their jobs/businesses. Onboard meals were excellent. Guide had wide range of suggestions from high to low $$ for dinners & excursions. Cabins comfortable but not at same standard as a cruise boat. Overall you should not hesitate.

- Simon, 25/08/2025 16:04, Travelled in a Couple

What An Epic Experience!

Sail Croatia is amazing. The experience was tranquil. The crew went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home on board. Highly recommend! We will do this again!

Best Sail Boat ever

We had an amazing experience with a great host, Vicko, who made the week so enjoyable and memorable. All the crew were amazing , from our bartenders, Milan and Max, and to the cooking staff. What was also unbelievable were the other people other boat. We made long life friends and we had a great time with them all. We would definitely do this again and recommend this to all our friends. Thanks again to Sail Croatia for a wonderful time

This was our first leg of our two way holiday starting at Split going to Dubrovnik then back to Split. All i can say is wow. What an amazing week.

Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. Crew were helpful and friendly. Captain was skilled. Cabins and in fact the whole ship was clean and beautifully maintained.

Barbara Alissa STUNNING

Our Sail Croatia trip was absolutely stunning. From Split to Dubrovnik, to heaven and back. We had 7 amazing days of fun, making new friends, unbelievable crew, great day trips, stunning swim stops and although I came into the trip with high expectations they were exceeded - and some!!! From Barbara our wonderful host to Cezar (The King) and Kiki our waiters and party starters, Josip the Captain, our sailors Ivan and Marko and our amazing chefs Marko and Bobi - the Croatia Sail / Almissa team was unbelievable. My first holiday in years where absolutely everything was spot on. Clean ship, good rooms, comfy beds and THE SHOTS. Thanks to the staff and our new friends xx

- David, 18/08/2025 19:46, Travelled in a Couple

Almissa, more like I'll-miss-her

All of the staff onboard were amazing. Our captain Josip ensured a smooth trip and even switched up some ports on the fly when he found out how busy Hvar was going to be on our scheduled day. The sailors Ivan and Marko were great fun and we felt super safe in their capable hands. Our waiters/bartenders Kiki and Cezar were absolutely incredible. They had everything ready for our onboard breakfast and lunch well ahead of time and always made time for quick chats and banter as the days rolled on. The chef's onboard, Marko and Bobi, whipped up some incredible feats for us. Honestly some of the best food I've ever had and they somehow managed it all in a tiny kitchen! Last but not least, our tour guide Barbara made the experience so seamless. We were notified of everything well before time and she gave us great recommendations at each port for various things to do. It was clear she loves the work and was able to provide a once in a lifetime experience for all of us onboard.

- Logan, 18/08/2025 16:10, Travelled in a Couple

Unforgettable. Incredible.

The cruise was perfect from the moment we set off to the moment we returned. The crew on Salve Di Mare were brilliant and our tour manager Lola was absolutely amazing. The boat and locations were stunning. I cannot recommend this cruise enough.

Trip Of a Lifetime

My wife and I planned this trip so my wife could visit the homeland of her grandmother. This was the best way to experience Croatia and the Dalmatian Islands. The crew was excellent. Dino and Capt Josip managed through upcoming potential weather patterns to maximize our enjoyment. The other travelers quickly became friends and eventually we all felt like a family. Cruising with Sail Croatia is definitely recommended to anyone we interact with once the topic of vacation enters the conversation. Thank you to Dino, Capt Josip, Kristina, Cesar, Ivan, Capo, Bogdan and Marko. You are all assets to the brand. My wife and I will be traveling with Sail Croatia again.

Dino was an amazing guide. We were always well informed about what was happening and recommendations both in the lunch briefing and in the group chat. He was always available if you had any questions. The food was amazing and the crew were friendly and efficient.

Amazing Locations on a wonderful boat

We really enjoyed our time on the Salve Di Mare. The locations we visited were beautiful! Absolutely stunning. Our cruise director Dino was friendly and informative. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond though. The rooms were nice and always cleaned well. The cruise is expensive and we really do not believe that is was worth the price we paid. The food was average at best. Well cooked, but boring. Breakfast was front 8 -9.30 with zero flexibility. No food or options for food is offered between breakfast and lunch. So if you miss breakfast, bad luck. Lunch was a 3 course meal and although I eat everything, my partner doesn't eat fish and instead received a piece of 'stuffed' half zucchini instead. During swim stops, which were again, stunning! While on the top deck reading a book, no one ever came up to ask if you'd like a drink! I found that the most puzzling. Wouldn't you want to make money?! Hard to give 3 stars, we loved it!

A Must Do In Croatia

We had the most amazing time sailing with Sail Croatia! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The boat was surprisingly spacious — the rooms were much larger than we imagined for a boat, and everything was spotless throughout the trip. The food was absolutely delicious. But what truly made the trip unforgettable was the staff on this trip. Huge shoutout to our fantastic guide Klara, who was knowledgeable, helpful, and always full of positive energy. We also want to give a special thanks to Christina, Ceaser, Marcos, and Evan — the most upbeat, friendly, and professional crew we could have asked for. Their good vibes and incredible service truly elevated our whole experience. We’ll 100% be back for another Sail Croatia adventure. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable sailing holiday!

- Cody, 30/07/2025 15:55, Travelled in a Couple

Back for a second trip!

Was a pleasant suprise having Captain Gordan again 11 years later! Trip was spectacular with highly knowledgeable guide Vicko. The hospitality on board Kraljica Jelena was stellar. Loved the Captain's Dinner which was very traditional Croatian, so it felt like I was eating at home! Great swim stops and fantastic round two. Would go again!

- Robert, 22/07/2025 09:56, Travelled in a Couple

The itinerary was well planned, The crew on the tempura boat was excellent. Food and swim spots were great. We met amazing people from around the world. Would highly recommend doing a cruise like this for others!

- Mark, 22/07/2025 03:26, Travelled in a Couple

Good trip overall.

Our trip was good overall. The boat was fantastic, and the crew did a great job. The swim stops were good fun for the first few days, but it got a bit repetitive after a while, especially when it goes for multiple hours. This however also means we get limited time at each destination. Just enough to have dinner before the sun sets, walk around a little, and then the boat is off by 7 or 8am the next morning. Also, we booked the explorer cruise thinking it wasnt the young party cruise, nor the golden oldies cruise. We were hoping for a mid age crowd with like minded people - this wasn't really the case. I will say though however, the people we did share the boat with were all a pleasure. It delivered what was advertised. But if I knew then what I know now, I'd probably just have booked my own trip through croatia, giving us more time in locations where we want to be and not wasting days at locations with little to offer or waiting to dock.

- Frank, 21/07/2025 15:18, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to see the Croatian coast / islands

This was a great way to explore Croatia. Relaxing mornings with scenic cruising and secluded swimming. Plenty of time to explore the various islands once docked and great staff onboard to take care of us. One worry we had before cruising was room size and being able to dry clothes but this was fine. We sailed on Tempera and the rooms were good size with sufficient room to unpack and stow suitcases. There are also clothes lines run around the perimeter of the boat for easy drying of swimwear / clothes / towels.

- Brad, 19/07/2025 06:40, Travelled in a Couple

Fabulous Sailing Trip

Despite not being able to do the planned itinerary due to bad weather we had a fabulous time. All the boat crew were amazingly friendly and the food was varied and delicious. Rooms comfortable and very clean an the a/c worked very well and was needed.

- Martin, 18/07/2025 07:00, Travelled in a Couple

Best way to experience Croatia

Hands down best way to experience the diverse islands of Croatia! With overnight stops at islands in between in Dubrovnik + Split, you can really see it all. The guides do a great job suggesting local excursions + places to eat. Plus the daily swim stops are awesome! I recommend the Explorer cruise if you are looking for a good balance of fun + sightseeing without too much party :)

Unforgettable experience!

We booked the Explorer cruise on board Tempera from Split to Dubrovnik and I can tell you we ended up very happy with our choice. Firstly, the ship Tempera made us feel right at home. Our cabin was cozy, decent size with everything you might need. The highlight there was definitely the window with amazing views to wake up to every morning.. Take the above deck cabin just for that. The food was great! Breakfast just diverse enough to get you ready for the day ahead (try the watermelon) and 3course lunch which was always delicious. The itinerary was breathtaking; either while on the way, the swim stops or the ports of call. Writing this 3 days later I still can't decide which destination was my favorite. All of the excursions were fun and different from each other so not one day felt the same. After excursions we still had enough time to explore (or party) which was awesome! Big thanks to all of the crew without which this trip wouldn't be as memorable and so hard to match in the future!

- Emil, 14/07/2025 09:31, Travelled in a Couple

A WOW Vacation on the Tempera!

Our Sail Croatia Explorer cruise on the Tempera exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food was top-notch! The entire crew was great...always very attentive to anything we needed. Cal, our amazing tour leader, made the week truly memorable. From restaurant/attraction suggestions at each stop, to interesting historical info about all of the islands, and of course, his great taste in music (that playlist!), he was the perfect guide for our incredible week on-board! Thanks Cal! Highlights of our trip included the daily swim stops, exploring all the islands, and the wonderful new friends we met on the boat.

Amazing Croatian Adventure

We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik over 7 days on the Almissa.. An experience I will remember always, the team aboard the vessel were fantastic with their hospitality and knowledge. The scenery and locations we were taken to were truly amazing and made even more enjoyable with their hospitality knowledge shared by our host/guide Dino. The weather and other passengers was perfect which added to the week of fun and relaxation. Highly recommended Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation.

The best trip of my life!

From the intimate feel of a small cruise ship and new friends made, to the very fun and friendly staff, to the incredible views and historical locations we visited, and the delicious cuisine that could be found everywhere - there was no trip I have ever had that compares. Lola was friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and honest about the locations and excursions, Captain Josif, Cezar, Kristina, Marco, and the rest of the Almissa staff were simply remarkable and deserve recognition for their customer service!

Brilliant cruise from Dubrovnik to Split

Explorer Princeza Diana

This cruise was the highlight of our 7 week Europe trip, we wouldn’t change a thing. The crew was amazing all so friendly and welcoming, food each day was faultless from the 2 amazing chefs. We made some Great friends from all around the world on this cruise ranging from 18-75. A massive shout out to our guide Dino, this guy made the trip. From our first meeting it felt like I had known him for years, his story’s, his organisation, direction and knowledge all was more than amazing and made life on the boat so easy knowing he will sort everything out for you, if you wanted a day experience he would book it arrange pick up and drop off from the boat, if you wanted tea Dino would organise that too. This guy was made for the job and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Would highly recommend this cruise and company and can’t wait to do it again.

Exceeded my expectations in every way!

I enjoyed my trip with Sail Croatia so very much!!! Everything exceeded my expectations - the ship, the staff/crew, the food, the cabins, the itinerary... We were sad to leave, a week was not enough! We traveled as a couple, and another couple (friends) also joined us. Despite that, we met lots of lovely people and made so many fun memories with others on our ship🥰. Lola was our tour manager and she was very helpful, and most of all really looked our for our best interests. It was a perfect blend of adventure, swimming & relaxation. We were very impressed with the staff who went over & above to make sure we had the best possible holiday. The food was excellent too, I was not expecting quality so high 👌. Cycling in Croatia was such a joy that we are already looking at a cycling holiday next. Bravo to everyone 👏👏👏 🫶 💖 🙌

Sail Croatia Cruise on Tempera

Our 7 day cruise from Dubrovnik to Split visited some amazing Islands and old towns, each with their own unique experiences. Our cruise director Dino was a fantastic host and organised all our of activities. Nothing was too difficult and he was a great energy to have around throughout the trip. Tempera was an excellent boat to travel on with great accommodation, consistently good meals and fantastic staff who made us feel right at home. We would recommend Tempera and Sail Croatia to anyone considering a Croatian cruise holiday.

Thoroughly wonderful

We had a wonderful trip with Dino as our Cruise Director. Max, Mila, Chefs and the rest of the crew were fantastic. Loved swimming off the boat at our stops during the week.

Best Vacation Ever

I don't do cruises. I in fact hate cruises. But Klara and all the crew aboard the Almissa changed my perspective. Wonderful service, amazing, staff, and a fun but professional atmosphere made my 7 day voyage amazing. I would absolutely do this trip again (hopefully not smashing my elbow after falling off a bicycle this time!)

- Travis, 23/06/2025 13:13, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing week onboard

Amazing week onboard Tempera with great crew. The crew worked hard to ensure everything was perfect. Dino was fantastic as tour manager with superb knowledge and great personality. He ensured we all got the most out of our week and provided a high level of personal service. Food was plentiful and to a high standard. All in all a brilliant week!

Explorer trip: Split to Dubrovnik

Cruise Director Dino was excellent. He consistently exceeded expectations. Not only did he keep us well informed of our upcoming schedule, he always provided guidance and recommendations for our free time that were very helpful. Captain and crew were also first rate. They were always friendly and very good at their respective jobs. Would recommend this to any friend.

Our holiday on the Adriatic

Everything about the cruise was amazing! The crew, the destinations, and the food served on board were all great. Aside from enjoying the beautiful Croatia islands, I also really enjoyed our swim stops! The water was a little cold at the beginning of June, but not unbearable. It was wonderful getting to know the other travelers on our boat. Sail Croatia is a 10/10 experience for families, friends, or even solo travelers.

Trip of a Lifetime

My Fiance and I are 26 and 31. We booked the Explorer cruise on the Salve Di Mare from Split to Dubrovnik. We truly believe we picked the best cruise option and the nicest boat. Check-in was easy, our Sail Croatia guide Vicko was simply amazing from start to finish. The food, too, was exceptionally good - some of the best food we had on our whole trip. The entire staff was friendly and pleasant to be around. We had a change of route due to a failed refueling, and the crew adapted our route nicely to still have us spend the day at a lovely island. In summary, we had the time of our lives and can't imagine visiting Croatia any other way. 10./10.

Tempera

The staff made it a really great trip especially Max. Ivana’s knowledge of the area and her help was exceptional.

OK But............

While this was somewhat of a good experience, there was too much down time, internet reception was extremely poor and whilst the crew were friendly enough they did not seem to want to go above and beyond, then at the end of the cruise, we were nearly shamed in to giving a tip, it was most uncomfortable.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with us. I’m glad to hear that you found some aspects of the cruise enjoyable - this is wonderful to hear. Our Explorer cruises are designed to blend socialising, sightseeing and relaxation on board. You will find in your Pre-Departure Information, more details on Tipping In Croatia. Tipping is not compulsory in Croatia, however, it is customary, and if you are happy with the service onboard, tips are very much appreciated. Your comments will be passed onto our team in Croatia and we appreciate your insights as they help us improve our services. We want to thank you for joining us this season in Croatia!

Not worth it

Food quality - Near prison food. Fish was dry, food unseasoned at all. Your best dishes were soup and 1 pasta meal. Drink prices - total rip off your drink prices rivalled Hvar.. Communication * This involves calling hvar the party island even though it is no longer as such, also being told 2 days before the end of the trip we could order eggs for breakfast..* Pay your workers decent wages. Being told that they are paid less because tips are expected is a joke. Your not America. Tips are standard in a terrible country like America to get around the fact they have shitty minimum wage laws. If you offered me this trip again for free I would refuse. I also will be letting anyone who ever asks me about sailing through Croatia not to bother. They would be better off organising a private car / ferry transportation to a select few islands that would still end up cheaper than the price you charge.

Marijana, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2025-06-12:

Hi Dan, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear your cruise didn’t meet your expectations. We have a thorough process in place for handling complaints onboard, which includes raising any concerns with your Tour Manager and, if needed, escalating them to our customer service team so we can address them promptly. This process is outlined in your pre-departure documents and on the Sail Croatia app. We’ve reviewed our internal records and found no report of your concerns during the trip, and it appears the complaints process was not followed. Unfortunately, we’re unable to resolve issues that aren’t brought to our attention at the time. While food preferences can vary, we’ve reviewed feedback from your specific departure and found the average food rating was 4.3/5 from fellow travellers. Your comments have been noted and are appreciated. Hvar is one of the most vibrant destinations in Croatia, known for its beaches, restaurants, and nightlife. Guests looking for a party atmosphere typically head to popular venues such as Hula Hula Bar or Nautica Bar, famous for their flaming Jäger trains. While noise restrictions apply to ships docked in many Croatian ports to respect local communities, these don’t affect the nightlife onshore - guests simply head off the ship to enjoy their evening. Information on tipping - including guidelines on etiquette and suggested amounts - is available on our website, in pre-departure documents, and on the Sail Croatia App. Given the information provided in advance of your cruise, we were surprised to hear that the tipping process was unexpected. Tipping, while not customary in countries like Australia and New Zealand, is widely practised and appreciated in Croatia and across Europe. Many locals rely on the summer tourism season to earn the majority of their annual income, and while we pay all our staff a fair and competitive wage, tipping is a customary and appreciated way to acknowledge good service. It’s always optional but very much valued. Sail Croatia offers a relaxed, hassle-free way to explore Croatia by small ship. With accommodation, transport, and some meals included, guests can enjoy a unique travel experience while visiting beautiful destinations along the coast at their own pace. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. Thanks,

It just gets better

This was our forth sail Croatia trip. The previous ones were the cycle trip and we decided to go for a less energetic experience. There was definitely an improvement on our previous trips with regards to both the food and accommodation on board. The chef was producing quality 3 course meals for almost 40 people in a ships galley kitchen. The presentation was exceptional and always plenty of food for everyone. The villages and towns we visited were beautiful as always. Staff were mint.

All you could need Croatian cruise.

Sail Croatia made booking this cruise so easy. Their website is user friendly with great after hours service. The tour guide onboard our boat, the Tempera (Ivana) made our trip something to remember. She was very approachable, knowledgeable and above all a people person. There was always plenty of tours and activities to do and of course these are at your own expense. But their are also plenty of things to do that don't need money. The ship's crew were fantastic with the likes of Max and Milan going above and beyond.. Plenty of good food was in supply by the rated chefs. The Captains dinner for me was a standout. Of course if you have special dietary needs it is best to communicate this to them as early as you can. We felt safe the whole time. The waters in the Adriatic Sea were very tranquil for our trip. Swimming off the back of the boat was a fun affair for everyone aboard. The crew made the environment onboard fun for people from all around the world to relax and enjoy themselves.

- Andrew, 09/06/2025 07:04, Travelled in a Couple

Tempera with Ivana

Boat and crew were fantastic. Places we went and the information we were given were outstanding . Best week of my life. The meals were out of this world good., and lots of it ! Ivana gave us the history and background of everywhere we went , and tips and side tours, so we knew we were seeing and doing everything we needed to at each location. Highly recommend Sail Croatia

Vicko and the crew made it an incredible experience. Everything from beginning to end was top notch. Vicko, our guide, did an excellent job throughout the trip - he was a joy to be around and made sure everyone had a great time. The crew, especially Marko and Vlaho, were great. Every crew member was so friendly and helpful. My wife and I really enjoyed the trip - it was a fantastic holiday.

Simply The Best

Croatia is the most beautiful and magical place I have ever been to, and there is no better way to see it than on a Sail Croatia cruise. Every port seemed more beautiful than the day before, the food was great, and we made lots of new friends. One of the best trips of my life. Will definitely be back!

- Chris, 12/05/2025 17:21, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent Way to Explore

This was our first trip to Croatia and our first time on a small boat cruise. The staff was amazing! We brought a little guidebook with recommendations for each port and never had to use it because Klara, our host, was so knowledgeable about each place. She did such a good job keeping us all on track and giving us quality places to visit. She was so organized and took the time to even set up an early morning pick up for us the last day. I truly believe that our trip wouldn't have been as fun without her guidance. The food on the trip was more than we could have expected as well. The chef did such a great job making meals that you wouldn't expect from such a small kitchen and ship. Everything tasted fresh and was served hot. It felt like an elevated meal in a very casual setting. Our servers did a solid job balancing making us drinks and getting the food out to everyone. The servers Kristine and Cesar were also the highlights of the trip. They kept vibes high and were so energetic.

- Michael, 12/05/2025 17:14, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to Croatia

Many reasons why this trip was so great 1) perfect way to see all the beautiful island towns. 2) with only 30 guests on board it made it easy to get to know everyone. Got to be a family atmosphere 3) the Crew was terrific Dino our leader made sure We had all the info needed for the day. Great communicator and always helpful. Service staff was top notch. Max was very engaging and high energy. Good was plentiful and delicious The Tempera boat was clean and was perfect size fir thus type of trip. I will be recommending Sail Croatia to my family and friends

Fantastic week long trip in Croatia

Had a great week long trip on the Tempera. The crew was great and very friendly. The breakfast and lunch was delicious and was able to try some new food! The squid was my personal favourite. The cabins were clean and had lots of space for your clothes. The daily swim stop was an incredible experience, i miss the sea already! Drinks on board were yummy. Using Sail Croatia was a great way to get around and see as much of Croatia as you can! The group made on whatsapp was a great way to stay in contact with everyone. We learned a new Croatian word everyday which was nice to learn the proper pronunciation to use while exploring. Would recommend people to get an esim or get a good travel plan as the internet in the boat wasn’t the best. Not that you’re using it lots but nice to have if you’re talking to family back home! Would definitely recommend and personally use Sail Croatia again as it is as a very fun week!

- Rylan & Marissa, 14/10/2024 00:20, Travelled in a Couple

Well worth it

Loved the week on the ship. Met some great people. Mostly from Australia, UK and USA. Particularly enjoyed the swim stops. Great food too. Be aware though that the ship docks late afternoon in each location so some of the advertised shore excursions will not happen. We found this disappointing and would recommend Sail Croatia only promote those excursions that have a realistic chance of going ahead.

Sept. 28 - Oct. 5, 2024 Cruise

We sailed on the Katarina from Dubrovnik to Split. The Captain, crew, and Nikos were attentive to our needs and made every effort to accommodate our needs. We unfortunately had to skip some swim stops due to weather, but the crew made sure that we had plenty of activities. I thoroughly enjoyed every stop along the cruise, and would book it again.

Katerina Explorer Cruise DUB - SPL

We had an amazing first time cruise with sail Croatia. We opted for the Katerina ship which was immaculate inside and out. The crew were superb and attention to detail was amazing. Especially the bar manager Ivana. Food was lovely, we stayed below deck and the room was perfect and spacious. We went on a explorer cruise and the mix of people on our ship was great. Despite having a couple of days of not so good weather the crew managed to make alternate arrangements which didn't impact us which shows great flexibility. All in all would 100% recommend and will definitely being travelling again.

Nikkos our host was spot on with his recommendations, and some of the dinners were the best ever eaten. Spacious cabin, with first class washrooms. The only thing missing was... more time.

Knowledge and Warmth

Dino was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. He communicated well and had alternative plan when the weather wasn't looking good. The crew took a little longer to warm to us but once they did it made the whole experience so much better- this may have been a language barrier at the start but by the end excellent. The meals were excellent and thank you to both chief's really impressive stuff.

All of the passengers on the cruise were a blast, and it was a pleasure to become friends! Looking forward to more adventures and would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone.

Croatian Island Cruise

We cruised aboard the Katarina in September 2024 on the Split-Dubrovnik return voyage. We toured some gorgeous countryside and visited quaint Croatian villages. The family crew was wonderful and our cruise director Nico was exceptional. Our cruise was altered slightly due to turbulent weather. The captain, crew, and cruise director navigated the challenges beautifully which ultimately resulted in a much better experience than if we had stayed on the original itinerary. We enjoyed the trip of a lifetime. Thank you!

Salve de Mare

Good boat. Vicko is excellent. Great food. Marko & Nemanja were great. Lucky with a great group of passengers. Not so much with the weather Negatives/Room for improvement: Coffee machine & charging for coffee in the afternoon. Cash economy is a bit tiresome. Korcula day is too crowded with activities- not enough time in the island.

Outstanding coordinator Dino, can't say enough about his wealth of knowledge and ability to get things done for you. He responds quickly to all of your inquiries. Breakfast buffet has a bit of everything and is fine for your stay. Marco working the bar is always very helpful and a joy to chat with.

Great Trip!

This is the best way to see the islands! Once we started on the trip, we realized trying to do a ferry to each island would’ve been too much. Marija was a fantastic host!! We had a great group of people. The crew was awesome and lively! The only recommendations I have are: 1. Shorten lunch and make it a sandwich spread/finger food. Lunch was long and it cut into swim and sun time. No need for a 3 course meal for lunch. 2. Vela Luka is the night we should have done the captains dinner instead of Stari Grad. Vela Luka had the least amount of restaurants. Also, Stari Grad was a really neat town and would’ve liked to have eaten dinner in the town instead of the boat. The Captain’s dinner was great, but would have been better if it would have been in Vela Luka. Amazing trip overall!! Thanks!!

Over the top experience

My wife and I and 17 other couples rented the MS Katarina for 8 days and 7 nights. The experience was one of a life time. The captain and his family own the boat and take meticulous care of the boat and the customers. Exceeded our expectations hands down! Our cruise director, Nikos was one of the best. He took care of every detail while on the water or in port. From excursions, restaurants, Ubers to directions. Nikos and the Katarina staff were spot on and we would recommend them to anyone who is considering this wonderful experience.

It was my wife’s dream to visit Croatia. We choose Sail Croatia with hopes of discovering the country and understanding its deep history. Our expectations were met beyond description. If you’re looking for a one in a lifetime experience, don’t hesitate to choose Sail Croatia!!

- Dan, 02/09/2024 16:27, Travelled in a Couple

Even better than our high expectations!

Sail Croatia and the Explorer cruise were recommended to us by friends that loved it. It was even better than we expected. We loved the small ship format. Got to know and enjoy some very nice international guests and the crew were all outstanding. Highlights: swim stops (crystal clear, perfect temp water, beautiful secluded locations), food (all meals were excellent-breakfast much more than "bread and spread"), distances traveled each day were short and, at least for our week, calm (rough weather there is rare and most sailing is behind islands-protected from waves of open Adriatic), the historic towns, local people, natural scenery, and excursions were also all way better than expected. Would love to do this cruise with this company again!

- Mike, 02/09/2024 11:18, Travelled in a Couple

So many memories with a great crew, guests and fantastic tour manager.

Ivan made this experience superb! He had the best recommendations, was funny and was super knowledgeable of Croatias history. I would do this trip over and over and highly recommended it.

The friendliness of the staff from start to finish Coupled with the professionalism and expertise of the crew made for an enjoyable safe fun experience. Captain Ivan is the greatest and is happy to explain the workings of the boat and even showed me around the power plant and wheel house. This is a family run boat, and this shows through the upkeep and maintenance of the ship. Special names of mention are Ivana Ándela and of course tour guide Nikki’s.

Best way to see Croatia

Sail Croatia was a seamless and fun experience that gave us the ability to see so much of Croatia and experience more than we could if we were on our own. We loved our time and would recommend to others!

Amazing experience with amazing people

As soon as my partner and i stepped onto the ship, we felt very welcomed by the friendly staff and the other passengers on board. Made some great friends throughout the week and everything that was asked of staff was catered for instantly. The swim stops were to die for and the lunches were incredible. We missed out on a location due to weather, however, the staff were quick to re-route and make sure we still had some great stops along the way. 10/10 would experience again.

Princeza Diana - Trip Leader Nikos Xousos

The entire week was a fantastic experience in all ways. The boat-yacht "Princeza Diana" was in great condition well maintained and very comfortable with numerous different areas to enjoy with plenty of space to spread out over the various decks. The cabins were excellent - spacious and comfortable. Our Sail Croatia Trip leader Nikos Xousos ran the week extremely well and provided us all we needed to know in our daily updates with the details followed up in a WhatsApp post . Nikos was a fun, engaging character and well suited to this position. He was excellent at binding all the moving pieces together to make it a great fun week for everyone. We were fortunate to have a great group [ages approx 16 to 65] that bonded with each other and all were great company. Food was excellent - could not fault it. The trip schedule provided lots of swim and relax time on the boat and a range of good daily activities off the boat. Overall great trip with not too much thinking required.

Top marks to for the Captain and entire crew for making our trip experience so special, our ship Katarina was also all we could have hoped for and more.
