Our unforgettable holiday on the Salve Di Mare has come to an end, we’ve met some wonderful people and discovered beautiful, captivating places, lots of swim stops with an opportunity to leap into the sea. We’ve been spoilt with exceptional service fantastic food and not having to plan the next days adventure. Our tour rep Vic was on hand every morning to give us the low down of what to expect for the day ahead with informative and useful tips for making the most out of each stop. Great value, fantastic scenery lovely people super ship. Thank you all for giving us a wonderful holiday and faultless hospitality. Till the next time, happy sailing. Dave & Sonia Lundy

Absolutely everything about this trip was amazing. Vicko and the entire crew made us feel like home, they cared about everyone and every single detail. We travel continuously and to different destinations, this trip is the only one we will repeat! It is that incredible. Thank you again to the crew of Salve di mare and Vicko ! Friends for ever

Crew was amazing from Mario to bartender to cook and rest of the staff. My only complaint the ship was old and needa alot of attention

We had an excellent time aboard the Contessa on our 7 day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. We were impressed by the spaciousness of the cabins, the high level of finishes of the boat, the excellent meals, the cordial staff, and to make things better, all the other passengers were delightful as well. Kudos to the entire team: Marin (the tour manager), jovana and neno (bartenders), bane and marko (chefs), charlie and tino (sailors), joy (housekeeping), kristijana (boat manager) and above all, captain slavko! highly recommend and hope to sail with sail croatia in the future!

From start to finish our family vacation exceeded our expectations. From the logistics, the amazing ship and even more amazing crew, we are grateful for our family time together. Thank you Sail Croatia for everything you did for all of us. (and our co-passengers we not too shabby either - great memories)

We thought everything was pretty much spot on. The Ship and staff were excellent. Our only negative was the timing of breakfast and lunch, along with the swim stops. We understand you have to adapt the schedule each day to cooincide with when you have to be at the next Port. But for the most part in chatting with our shipmates, we felt like....hurry and get up for breakfast, hurry and eat, go for a swim....but we just ate....hurry for lunch....then we typically need time to digest. We have 3 or 4 hours between breakfast and lunch......then 6 to 8 hours between lunch and dinner. It just felt like the meals on board could be stretched out longer and not rushed. The Bar, when ordering a drink, please serve the alcohol that is listed on the menu. Those are our only negatives, otherwise we totally loved the small ship cruising experience. Special thank yous to Yolana in the Salon, and Joy the housekeeper. We found out late that she is a massage therapist..too bad that service was N/A

We we're on the Queen Jelena with about 30 individuals including our family of four. Our family included a 17 year old, college student, and my wife and I. Our kids met other guests within the same age range and we all had a great time. Our tour manager Vicko was great and made the trip memorable. He helped us understand logistics, provided great recommendations, and made the trip engaging and fun overall. I would do it again, and would request Vicko to be our guide.

We had an amazing time aboard the Sail Croatia Esperanza. Island hopping was outstanding and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia to friends. Klara was an excellent and fun host and all of the crew did a very nice job during our cruise.

We had a wonderful time on Sail Croatia, we had a great host in Klara. She was well supported by the great crew on Esperanza. Amazing part of the world that is best explored on Sail Croatia. The food was excellent, beautiful blue waters for swim stops and we had a great group to enjoy it with, we highly recommend Sail Croatia

Myself and my wife are fortunate to have had many great weeks traveling in the past but this week with Sail Croatia was one of the best and one we will not forget. Our host Barbara was so informative and was there for us whenever we needed.. We could not ask more from her and the crew - They insured we had a great week and one that we won’t forget. We will be back and recommend highly.
- Shaun, 10/08/2026 15:12, Travelled with Family
My wife and I had the most amazing trip through Sail Croatia. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. The people we met and friends we made will be with us always. Hana and the whole crew worked so hard, with Hana explaining everything in super detail to make sure ever excursion was perfect for us. There was nothing left out and we felt as if we were treated like family. We would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience.
- William, 10/08/2026 07:05, Travelled with Family
Absolutely loved this Croatian islands cruise. The perfect mix of fun, activities, and relaxation. Met incredible people and genuinely made friends for life. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Best trip of a lifetime thanks to Sail Croatia. The boat, Capitan, crew, chief, cleaning, and all were exceptional. The attention to details and assuring we had what we needed was amazing. This trip could not have gone better.
- KElly, 20/07/2026 13:12, Travelled with Family
Couldn’t have had a more perfect experience. Dino and crew of the Queen Jelena were just awesome! The food, views, swim stops, and accommodations were top notch. Only thing more amazing was Croatia itself - what a beautiful country and no better way to see it than aboard a Sail Croatia yacht!!
- Michael, 15/07/2026 01:28, Travelled with Family
We went from Split to Dubrovnik over 7 days on Esperanza with our guide Sanja. Not only were the ammenties on the boat outstanding, but the staff, food, and drinks were all 10/10. Sanja was great as well, as she gave the group detailed and informative information about the islands and activites we were doing. Life-changing trip, I want to come back next year!
- Anonymous, 14/07/2026 18:08, Travelled with Family
Positives- The food and dining service were excellent throughout the trip. The information shared about the islands, local attractions, and recommended activities was very helpful and enhanced our experience. Hanna was exceptionally attentive, friendly, and always willing to help with restaurant reservations and excursion bookings. Her assistance was greatly appreciated. Overall, we were very satisfied with our cruise experience and had a wonderful time. Areas for Improvement- We noticed that some staff members were smoking in or near common guest areas. Relocating smoking to designated staff-only areas would help create a more comfortable environment for guests, especially those who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. One bartender, Cesar, came across as less welcoming than the rest of the crew during our interactions. A more friendly and approachable demeanor would further enhance the overall guest experience.

We loved our time with Sail Croatia. When we booked our trip we weren’t sure what to expect. We had never taken a trip on a small boat cruise before and are not really fans of large cruise ships. But from the time we boarded till well after we got off, we completely enjoyed our experience. The crew were attentive and fun. The other passengers were a great mix of personalities. And our cruise director, Klara, kept us both informed and entertained, she even got us a reservation for 21 at Massimo Cocktail Bar on Korčula. I looked forward to the daily swim stops, always at a picture perfect beach, and each town we visited was unique and memorable. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough. We are already planning our next trip.
- Shawn, 10/07/2026 02:24, Travelled with Family
My wife booked trip for our 20 year anniversary -Amazing experience from start to finish and all excursions and plans seemed to function seamlessly like clockwork! Impressive food, stunning locations + lots of swimming! To top it all off we had an stellar crew that treated us like family- thanks to the host Clara, the Captain, Chef and the rest of the crew- Marko, Charlie, Joy, Tino, and my 5 Star bartenders Nano and Martin! :) Also met some great new friends from around the world. Wish the trip lasted longer!!!

We had such a great time! Boat and the crew were perfect! We sailed on the Esperanza on an explorer tour., Clean rooms very spacious and comfortable. Our tour guide Lola was absolutely awesome! Very helpful, made local calls for us to sort out what ever was needed. From breakfast to daily swim stops and then the 3 course lunch made the trip. We traveled with our kids ages 21 and 18, they loved the trip. I really had no complaints, the whole week. The other guests aboard were truly amazing and kind people from Australia, UK and the states. Just a whole lotta fun relaxing with like minded folks.
- Jerry, 03/07/2026 04:15, Travelled with Family
We travelled on the Tempera Explorer from Dubrovnik to Split. Our guide Lauren was both professional, informative and fun from the 1st day to the last. Meals could not be faulted nor either the bar staff or chefs. We met amazing people on board sharing swim stops in exquisite blue water, daily activities such as biking, beaches, wineries, apertivo’s and dinners in the varied islands of Croatia. 10/10 experience, thank you Lauren once again.
- Jeremy, 01/07/2026 15:09, Travelled with Family
This was are second Sail Croatia cruise. The first was fantastic. Out second was on the Contessa, and it is a new boat. As with some new things, such as homes, boats, there is a pick up list of things that need improvement. In our case there were three issues. The AC was not working well and basically managed the room to 30 degrees Celsius, the boats internet was very limited, only working in the dining area, and that was food quality and taste was average. One of the driving forces besides the beauty of Croatia of our return was exceptional food quality, preparation and value in our first cruise. The chefs were amazing, tantalizing us with great appetizers, main courses and deserts. Although an effort was made it was not near the level of our first cruise. I imagine Sail Croatia will rectify these start up issues but want to present the facts as they were for us to future customers.
- Brad, 26/06/2026 10:00, Travelled with Family
This was one of my best vacations and have been all different size boats. It was very relaxing atmosphere and excellent way to see Croatia. Wake up have breakfast, anchor in a bay and have a swim. While having lunch the ship travels to the next port for you to enjoy. The nice thing is you get to enjoy dinner in port and are not rushed backed to the boat as it’s there for the night. Our guide Sasa kept us informed on a daily basis on what was happening for the day and things to do and places to eat. Great job. The bar staff Marko and Vlaho were great bartenders and hard workers always ready to get you whatever drink you required great job guys. Our house keeper Julia did a great job cleaning up after all of us on the boat. Now I get down to the food cooked by our chef Bojan and sou chef Zodojka which was outstanding. The crew lead by Captain Frane and crewed by Bojan and Zodoyka did a great job getting us to were we needed to go and docking the ship even in tight situations. Great work

Sail Croatia does an amazing job. We loved everything about our trip and would definitely sail with them again. Sail Croatia is an amazing value, they make everything easy, all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself. The boat was wonderful and the cabins were larger and more comfortable than I expected. The food was excellent and much more than advertised. Breakfast was varied every morning with a nice variety. Lunch was an excellent 3-course meal each day and everything was delicious. The team on board does an excellent job of making you feel relaxed and comfortable and you can tell they truly take pride in their work. Each swim stop was well thought out as far as location and each time offered a unique and beautiful location to enjoy. The boat offered plenty of space to relax and it never felt crowded or cramped. All of this and getting to spend time in a beautiful country make this something I would gladly do again. Thank you Sail Croatia!

Sanja and the Almissa crew were amazing, they made mine and my brothers week fun and stress free due to their hospitality and professionalism. I would definitely recommend this sail and hope they have Sanja and the Almissa crew so they can have similar memories and just as much fun as we had on our sail!

We had the best time on our Sail Croatia Explorer cruise. A huge shout out to Sanja (our guide) and Cesar and Kafka for the laughs and Grappa to start the morning with 😊.

My wife and I had an absolute blast on the 7-day Split-to-Dubrovnik Explorer cruise on the Contessa. This was our first cruise ever, and it wildly exceeded our expectations. Every stop was a treasure in it's own way, the recently renovated ship has a modern/elegant design, the cabins were spacious, food on on-board was great, crew was fantastic and friendly, and our tour guide Lola made sure we knew all the fun activities to do, and the best places to dine. Highly recommend., 5 star experience.

Our trip w Sail Croatia was wonderful on all fronts. The MS Contessa was recently refurbished and felt like a brand new, luxury yacht. The crew was incredibly helpful, kind and always available as needed. And our trip guide, Anita, was the absolute best and always there to keep us having fun, providing exceptional excursion options, making sure we were always safe and providing up-to-date plans for each day, I would highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a truly amazing vacation.

It was good, but they have things to improve, like the air conditioning not working, the cancellation of multiple activities due to the weather, the captain's absence due to "illness" (though he seemed perfectly fine the other days), and having a bartender drunk almost 50% of the time. But the accommodations were very good, the food was very good, and the main day was excellent.

Our trip through the Croatia islands with Calum aboard Tempura was fun and educational. The trip was from Split to Dubrovnik visiting wonderful islands along the way. The crew was extremely hardworking and helpful. Our guide and leader for the week was Calum. If you are fortunate enough to have him as you cruise leader, know that you will have an amazing holiday. He was very knowledgeable about each stop as well as the history of each island/town we stopped in. He planned trips, dinners and events every day making the trip extra special for my wife and I!

Our boat Salve Di Mare was not only the best boat in the fleet, it was staffed by the best crew, Captain Frane, Sailors Mario and Duje, Waiter Marko and Vlaho, Cheifs Arjan and Tina and last but definitely not least our Maid Monika, all 10/10 for all their duties. Now not to forget our absolute champion of a representative Vicko. The weather was a little Ordinary so they changed the route and included some extra activity activities to give a better experience, it was appreciated by all guests on the boat. Vikos knowledge about Croatia and the places we went, outstanding. The entire crew and Vicko went above and beyond. As an airline Captain in Australia, I can only hope my crew perform as Frans crew did, I know the logistics behind a smooth enjoyable experience for your guests and the teamwork required to achieve this, Frane and Vicko mastered it. Thanks to all. Sean Daly

From the start of this cruise on a fairly small ship the crew and Sail Croatia representative were most welcoming and friendly, nothing was to much trouble. Beautiful clear water with plenty of swim stops. Food offered to a good standard. People we met were friendly and most spoke good English.

The boat trip between Split and Dubrovnik Croatia is amazing with beautiful islands and an exceptional ship crew. The captain had to deal with bad weather and modified our stops to minimize the impact and maximize our itinerary with fun and exciting stops. The crew kept everyone safe, provided us exceptional meals, provided us excellent service and kept the ship clean.

We had a fabulous time. Everything about the boat: the cabins, the deck, the food, the staff. Ioana was our fabulous guide who kept us thoroughly entertained and informed! The morning swims and afternoon adventures were incredible. The only downside is that the holiday had to come to an end. We’re missing everyone we met but have fabulous memories that we will cherish always.

The whole experience was fantastic! The crew, our group, the food , excursions were fabulous. I thoroughly recommend this 7 day sail from Split to Dubrovnik. Personally it would have been better to do Split to Dubrovnik instead especially if you need to get to other countries.
- Debbie, 11/08/2025 05:24, Travelled with Family
The small boat experience is special. You get to know people from around the world. The small crew gets to know people and they take care of things a simple as I don't like mushrooms (so the day they had mushroom soup, I got pumpkin soup). The tour director, Dino, was very knowledgeable and that helped us get the most out of each port.

My family and I were on an Explorer cruise recently with Dino aboard the Princeza Diana and it was an amazing time. The crew of the ship was great, very friendly, and knowledgeable. Dino, by far, exceeded our expectations of what any tour guide could offer. He was kind, friendly, interactive, and involved in the trip and helped make so many arrangements that we wouldn't have been able to make otherwise. We had someone who needed to visit a doctor while we were abroad and Dino assisted with scheduling a time and making sure they got to the location. The locations we visited were beautiful and the food was all amazing, both on and off the ship, and the recommendations Dino gave were great. I only wish we could have visited more. One of the great thing about a cruise on a ship this size is how close you get to and connect with the other people on board who also help to make the trip that much more special.

The crew is who made the trip truly memorable. Attentive, good senses of humor and caring. Lola our cruise director was a good communicator and her suggestions for activities and places of interest added helped us get a better understanding of Croatia and the islands we visited.

Anita did a really good job of keeping everyone updated throughout the day both personally and via a group chat including extra things to do, places to eat etc. To top it off, the boat, Salve de Mare, was fantastic, with lots of space, very clean and comfortable with everything operating as it should. Would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again!

Swim stops were cancelled due to weather without consulting passengers. Some activities were cancelled either because of equipment malfunction. A better hostess would be good.

Hi Malcolm - thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you found us to be a good company to travel with. For everyone's safety, we were sorry to see that a swim stop wasn't possible due to the unusually poor weather conditions, and we understand this affected your experience. We’re pleased to see that the hostess received all 5-star reviews for your departure. Once again thank you for your feedback.
The staff were excellent, with special mention of Klara and Branco who made the cruise extra special. Klara's knowledge of the islands and history were shared to us with passion and humor and was received extremely well by the guests. The arranging of excursions was flawless and we always knew the times and booking details well in advance. Branco made sure that we were served plenty of food on board and his bar manner was second to none. The islands themselves shared their different characters, all of which were enjoyed by all. We would definitely do this again as we thoroughly enjoyed our first ever cruise provided by Sail Croatia.

The ship (Salve di Mare) was so comfortable and very well maintained. The crew were professional, friendly and fun. The meals were exceptionally well prepared and presented.

Our vacation experience with Sail Croatia was excellent and memorable. Having cruised in Europe, Caribbean and Alaska on much larger ships we were looking for a new cruise experience: Sail Croatia delivered a new, higher level of cruising intimacy to us. The yacht Salle Di Mare was unique in terms that it is a mix of traditional design coupled with modern elegance. There were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy a tranquil cruise around the Croatian islands. It's a very intimate experience unlike the large cruise liners. You get to meet the crew and see them working every day. You mingle all the time with fellow passengers and make new friends. And you have this against a backdrop of picture-perfect islands, historic sites, and blue (clear) water. Plus, our cruise had 6 out of 7 days of sunshine, and on the day without sun we had indoor wine tasting :-) As an endorsement, we are already planning another Sail Croatia cruise!

It never is one thing that makes a trip wonderful. The itinerary was fun and event filled. Lots of things to see and do or just do what you want, Beautiful boat. Lovely appointments, Enough space to be able to find a spot to enjoy some solitude but small enough to be friendly. We were blessed with beautiful weather and lovely secluded swim spots, You don't know what personalities you'll get with 30 guests but, again, this cruise was blessed with very friendly and fun folks. It was amazing how well we all got along and were appreciative of the crew. Speaking of the crew, they were spectacular!! Very friendly, accommodating and engaging folks. Always ready to lend a hand or ear and available at the drop of a hat. They were truly interested in how your day was going and that your needs were met. Our fantastic Sail Croatia rep, Vicko, was always on top of our itinerary, made sure we were aware of the days activities, upcoming adventures. Too much delicious food. I highly recommend it. Go!

Vicko was the ultimate guide - friendly, knowledgeable and he made sure he interacted with all the different passengers. The crew were all amazing, especially as the captain was a bit sick for a few days but you wouldn’t have noticed as everyone was so professional. Of course the real star is beautiful Croatia itself, but the tour was everything we hoped for and more. I can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience and would love to do it again one day.
- Marcus, 25/08/2023 06:23, Travelled with Family
Had the best week on sail!!! Everything from the crew to the delicious food was on point! Our tour manager Boris was helpful in every way possible! Pointing us in the right direction for restaurants, bars or beaches in which we could just chill out. His daily speeches about each island / port were very informative and he always had the whole boat laughing with his presentation and sense of humour! 10/10 for Boris!

This was our first time on a small boat cruise and it was amazing! We were a group of 6 within an overall group of 32 and we really got to know the rest of the sailers. That’s not possible on the large cruise ships. The crew and our tour rep were amazing too and we saw them working up close every day which again was very different. However, the star of the holiday was Croatia as it’s now our favourite destination in Europe and we’ve been everywhere in Europe! The scenery and the locations were incredible! We would now holiday in certain locations just based on spending one afternoon/ evening there e.g. Makarska, Korcula and Hvar and also Brac which we spent 2 days on prior to the cruise. The zip line excursion in Cetina was my personal highlight as that was a first for me and was amazing! The Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik runs that a close second as the guide (also called Ivana!) was really knowledgeable and it was a stunning location. I’d recommend this cruise to everyone !

Combination of a number of things - a very nice boat (Salve di Mare), good food, a fantastic guide (Ioana), excellent bar staff (Ivan in particular was brilliant), great choice of stops and swim stops and a nice group dynamic.

The ship is beautiful, the destinations are fantastic and diverse, and our guide (Ioana) did a phenomenal job. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and fun to be around the entire time. She went out of her way constantly to ensure that everyone was happy and having a good time -- give this gal a raise!!

We absolutely loved the Sail Croatia Split-to-Split trip on the Princess Diana. The ship was larger and nicer than we expected and very well maintained. The captain and crew were top notch. We especially enjoyed Boris and Erol who were the waiters, they always provided great service with a smile. The food was also really good. The mix of relaxing time, swim stops and activities was really good too. And a huge shout out to Ivana, our onboard tour director, she was always working so hard to make a smooth and enjoyable trip for everyone on board. She really went over and above and made the trip run really smoothly. She provided a lot of valuable information and did a really great job all week. It was also nice having the other guests onboard and we enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them. Overall, a really great way to visit multiple port cities in Croatia and we'd highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Thomas, 03/07/2023 17:49, Travelled with Family
We had the most fantastic week (24th June 2023) with Sail Croatia on the Princeza Diana. We were so fortunate to have a fantastic group of fellow travellers on our boat, within hours we were terrific friends and by the end of the week, we were so sad to be leaving one another. The Sail Croatia team, in particular, our hostess Ivanna really bought the group together and made the trip such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They were so organised, so helpful and so friendly and we couldn't recommend them more highly. We are an Australian family of 4, husband and wife, with 2 daughters 21 and 19. We spent a lot of time researching the best boat for our various age groups and we really nailed it with the Sail Croatia Explorer cruises. If you are looking for the best way to visit Croatia and see the beautiful islands of the Adriatic then don't hesitate to book with Sail Croatia, you won't regret it.

all the people were really great. Including staff. I found that I developed relationships with a few of the staff members on board which made the trip even better. Destinations beautiful and vjeko ensured everyone got the most out of every island.

A great bunch of people to travel with A great tour guide (Mila) was exceptional The crew were good especially Maryan Good food thanks to the chef One complaint is the fact that there was a spare room and a very shy young lady asked if she could have her own room instead of boarding with a complete stranger. I was discussed to hear that your company charged her an extra $600 euro in cash on top of what she had already paid that was cruel Steve Whitmore
- Stephen , 14/06/2023 11:41, Travelled with Family
Thank you so much for your 4 star review and all your comments. We are so glad you had a great time and that you found your representative Mila to be exceptional. Thank you for your kind comments regarding Marijan and the chef onboard. We will be sure to pass your comments to our team as they will appreciate very much hearing this. Our cabins are based on two person sharing a cabin and if there is a traveller travelling solo, then they are offered the option of booking a cabin with added Single Supplement cost which is 50% on top of per person pricing. This is offered at the time of booking and is advertised on our website under FAQ's. It isn't possible to waive this fee whilst on the cruise as it would be unfair to solo travellers onboard who booked and paid for a single occupancy cabin. Thank you for your feedback and we do hope we will welcome you again onboard sometime soon!
This trip was amazing....a little relaxing, exploring, adventures, meeting new friends and it was all planned out for you! Our host, Vicko was incredible too! What could be better than to sit back relax and enjoy! Thank you Sail Croatia! We want to go on some of your other trips!
- Jordan, 13/06/2023 20:29, Travelled with Family
Fantastic cruise with great people who made the experience even better. Dino worked hard to make sure the cruise itinerary was best for the weather which ensured we had the best opportunities to see and do as much as possible.

I can't Say enough about my cruise, I did it with my Sister and the Crew was amazing, Steve, our cruise director was informative and a pleasure to be around, The food was great, The boat was very clean, the stops were great, I have been telling all my friends about it, As I have been to 58 countries, many multiple times, People listen to what I say.. Only thing that could have made it better is Stand up Paddle boards & Kayaks Regards, Myles McGinn
- Myles, 01/11/2022 20:04, Travelled with Family
Great cruise, fantastic host in Stjepan, a bit disappointed that we had to spend 2 days in Dubrovnik. A little irritated that you would not accept Credit cards on board. In Croatia ALL ATMs are a rip off and as you accpet payment for the cruise on a credit card, why not onboard? No doubt you dont want the charges to your account but the inconvenience and extra cost we had to bear spoiled a little what was otherwise a great trip
- DAVID, 03/10/2022 08:08, Travelled with Family
The staff were wonderful and Stephanie took great care of keeping us informed and organized for port calls. The food was great with the minor exception of too much olive oil use for me on some dishes. The tuna steak was perfect! I would suggest shorter swim times to allow earlier port stops. Some excursions were not enough time to do them well. Some activities for poor weather days would be nice also.
- Dean, 19/09/2022 10:41, Travelled with Family
1. Wonderful yacht team and cruise director Carmia. Everybody was professional, friendly, attentive, pleasure to talk to. Carmia provided clear and useful information on cruise logistics and destinations - restaurants, places to visit, etc.,, and led the group to starting points of excursions. 2. Great mix of people on board. 3. A comfortable clean cabin with enough space for storage and nice wooden furnishings. 4. Adequate spaces for various activities: socializing, sunbathing, viewing incredible islands and the sea while sailing. 5. Good breakfasts and great lunch meals. 6. Variety and beauty of places visited, with the schedule allowing enough time to explore destinations. 7.. Overall, a feeling of sailing on a semi-private yacht with a great companions and crew.

- Shane, 31/08/2022 13:36, Travelled with Family
We choose that cruise with my daughter 16 years old. Everything was perfect, very nice boat Almissa, very confortable cabin. Cruise team was very attentive and nice, they made the cruise so great ! And finally our rep Ioana was the best we could imagine. She was scheduling everything perfectly, always available for explanation, advice and so on. We made a lot of activities, which were very great, like Buggies, Canyoning, etc... Ioana also scheduled for us dinner in town, barbecue on the boat, and this was just very nice. I really recommend this Cruise, Croatia is so wonderful and Sail Croatia makes it really perfect to visit. Little advice for travelers, take one more day in Dubrovnik before Cruise to visit this amazing beautiful City. I understand now why they choose it for Port Real in Games of Thrones. Thank you to all Sail Croatia team and especially our rep ioana for this very nice cruise we'll keep in memory for life !
- Nicoas, 15/08/2022 11:35, Travelled with Family
This has been one of my favourite holidays. It was made even more amazing because of the crew and the Sail Croatia guide, Iona, who was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend a Sail Croatia holiday to friends. We would also consider another holiday like this but cannot imagine a better guide or crew than we had this time.
- Eamonn , 10/08/2022 09:46, Travelled with Family
We sailed on the Princeza Diana, a beautiful boat with a lovely crew. Food was excellent. The group of guests was international, with the biggest contingent being from Australia. There were families, couples, a small group travelling together and one solo traveller. We all mixed and really enjoyed each other's company.
- Graeme, 25/07/2022 13:28, Travelled with Family
We sailed the Explorer Cruise Split-to-Dubrovnik in early July. The check-in process was easy and friendly. Our kids slept in rooms below deck, which were spacious, quiet and comfortable. They enjoyed these rooms! We were in a regular level cabin at the front of the ship which was very enjoyable. When we were cruising it was nice to pin the door open and watch the scenery go by. Our Cruise Tour director Ivana was fantastic. Always going above and beyond to inform us and give us insight into her beautiful country and its history, modern and ancient. She is a real asset to Sail Croatia! The food was terrific! Thank you Chef Daniel and sous-chef Mirela! The deckhands always had the ship looking tip top, thank you Ivan and Ante! The food service and bar was performed admirably by Mario, who always took care of us with a smile. Captain Davor docked the ship with ease, and anchored us in some amazing swim spots. Thank you to the entire crew for such a pleasant experience!
- Stewart, 11/07/2022 13:10, Travelled with Family
Ship and rooms should be more in working order . Items shouldn’t be broken or makeshift . Had to ask for new towels after being told they would be changed. Our bedsheets weren’t even changed out. Never bothered to follow up after having to request. Some of the crew’s excellent service made up for others sub par performance . As a parent, Incident on ship was alarming and could’ve ruined the cruise, had to try hard to trust things would be alright . Swimming spots was occasionally sub par. Consistency in swim locations would have made things excellent.
- Rey, 05/07/2022 10:42, Travelled with Family
Hi Rey - thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to review your cruise. Upon checking our reports, I can see that a mid-week cabin service was complete, including bedding and towel change on your boat - I could not see any issues being raised by yourself to your Onboard Representative. If this was missed for any reason, we would hope that guests would highlight this to their Onboard Representative. We understand that there was an incident onboard and our Rep, Captain and crew were on-hand to assist where possible. All swim stops are monitored and a member of staff is always on watch to ensure the safety of guests. Our Captain will chose the best secluded bays, these are in a variety of exclusive locations for your enjoyment. Thank you again for your review.
Fabulous holiday to relax and unwind on! The crew were extremely friendly and the food was great! I would highly recommend for your next summer holiday!!

Salve de Mare is a beautiful modern ship with every comfort you can imagine. The crew strives to make sure every need is met, from sunup to sundown. We called Pavle our “Michelin” chef with delicious meals every day. Ivan, rep from Sail Croatia, gave a briefing everyday with history and excursions of each island. Sailors Frane, Antonio and Ivan as well as captain Tomisalv kept us in calm waters and found the most beautiful swim spots! And of course, Ivana and Daniel were hostess and bartender - always at our service and always with a smile. Exceptional!!
- Jane, 06/06/2022 08:33, Travelled with Family
Aside from Croatia being one of the most beautiful, unspoilt countries I’ve visited, everything about the experience was superb! From our Sail Croatia rep Ivan to our Bartender Daniel, everything on the Salve Di Mare was excellent. I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a completely different kind of holiday.
- Oliver, 30/05/2022 13:42, Travelled with Family
We have just returned from a week's Explorer cruise on the Salve de Mare, Split to Dubrovnik and wanted to let you know what an amazing experience it was. Ivan our guide was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The whole crew were amazing. Daniel the steward is an absolute asset to your team; hard working, smart, kind and attentive. Chefs food was lovely, the cabins were always kept clean and the Captain with the deck crew kept us safe in rough seas and took us to beautiful swim stops. It was our first holiday both on a ship and to Croatia and neither was a disappointment. A beautiful country, with stunning coastline, picture perfect stops, delicious food and gorgeous wine. We had one heck of a great time. Andrew, Dawn, Oliver and Amelia

My vacation on the Almissa was simply amazing! If I had been asked to describe expectations prior to sailing from Dubrovnik, island hopping to Split-well all I can say is the experience proved to be nothing I could have described-it was just unimaginable & super fun! Each island stop had both rich history & unique friendly/romantic feel to it. The swim stops were great to relax before & after meals, prior to docking. The crew of the Almissa were super friendly. Chef IDA was over the top on each & every meal & could easily compete in any Michelin 3-Star restaurant. Hostess ANA, was terrific, always at the ready to provide assistance. Sail Croatia Tour Director, Andrija, proved extremely knowledgeable of the historical significance & best places to tour/eat. The intimacy you develop with the crew, Captain NIKOLA, skillfully piloting & navigating the Adriatic, with his Sailors (IGOR, ANTE’, and PAVE’). We definitely hope to return this year! Fair Winds!

Wow! What are great trip. The overall concept of a smaller ship visiting many scenic locations throughout the inner islands if Croatia is hard to beat. Even though it was towards the end of the season the crowds were much lower and the weather was still fantastic. I could have not asked for anything more from the boat and crew and our cruise director Lara was amazing and really brought our group together and offered excursions that really rounded our our experience. Plus, the best part of the trip was the others on the boat. My family left with 30+ more friends from all around the world. I will certainly look to do another cruise with Sail Croatia. Thank you!!!

Thank you for your 5 star review.
We were looking for a holiday that would suit my husband and I, and also our 19 year old son. The Explorer cruise made sure that we were all catered for with a range of activities that suited everyone and cruising with a group of like minded people - we didn't feel too old, nor too young. Our guided, Mateo, was fantastic and the crew went out of their way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. However the true attraction was the Croatian coast and all it has to offer - from the small sleepy villages, majestic swimming spots and the bustling historic cities - this is truly a magic place to visit. Thank you Sail Croatia for a memorable holiday.

We are so pleased that you have had a memorable holiday in beautiful Croatia! It is great that our Explorer cruise was a perfect fit and that Mateo and the crew took great care of you. We look forward to your return!

The boat and Explorer trip with a size of 40 people was perfect and the Captain of the Crystal very talented. The crew was sharpe, always ready to fix any slight issue and mixed well with the group we had ranging age from 2o's to 60's, Just the right amount of relax time, tour time and the evenings to explore the various cities. Would go back again. Well run ship with nice accommodations and meal.

My husband and I traveled with my parents. We had 2 above cabins. The staff of Liberty was amazing. Very kind and helpful and they worked so hard! Our tour manager Kate did a fabulous job! We felt well cared for! The tour itinerary was perfect. LOVED the swim stops. The staff communicated very well with us when adjustments had to be made due to weather. Thank you to the chef's, The food was very good! The boat Liberty was well maintained and very clean on all the outside and public areas. The cabins and bathrooms were more spacious than I expected. Linens were clean and bathroom very clean. ***However the cabins need some maintenance. The tiles in the shower have caved out and broken the grout. Some of the wood paneling on the ceiling is breaking. The curtains and rugs are dingy. The AC does not work well when it is hot and humid outside. And the headboard and ledges & corners of the cabin were not dusted (thick film of dust and hair). We LOVED the trip and the staff. Thank You!

The ship was beautiful, loved the destinations. Mia was informative, helpful and knowledgeable and did a excellent job managing the needs of my group and the other guests on the boat.. I think lunch could have been a bit simpler with perhaps a buffet line with one hot item and "grab and go" type items. That would accomodate those the preferred to have somethig more formal and those that were more "on the go". The lunches were good, just felt like they took a bit too much time.. The website is not that easy to navigate. An incredible week! Walla!

The swim stops in the different coves were fantastic as well as the ports. This is the best way to see and experience the Dalmatian coast.. Other major cruise lines with their large ships cannot match this experience. In fact the cabin on the Liberty was larger and set up better than the balcony cabin on the cruise ship.

Thank you for joining us, we hope to see you again soon :)
Cristal is one of the newer and largest offered by Sail Croatia. The cabins and baths are very spacious and there are many well designed areas to relax and be with or away from the other guests. The ship is kept very clean by the crew and housekeeping staff. The captain is very welcoming. Our trip had a wonderful group of fellow travelers of all ages from around the world. The food quality could be substantially improved. Many of the port stops are too short and much time is spent at very long swim stops waiting for free public docks to become available at the end of the day. The boat must leave these public docks very early with engines starting at 7 or 8am. The cruse director was enthusiastic, excursion quality highly variable and local port information limited.so do your own homework.

We booked this trip for a family holiday in August 18 and what a holiday it was! We were on the Almissa, a year old boat and she was beautiful. From the moment we arrived at Dubrovnik harbour to the moment we departed the Almissa in Split the crew and our host Lara were 1st class. Nothing was ever a problem, they were all more like friends then crew on the boat. All the excursions that we went on were brilliant especially the bike ride round Mljet and the wine tasting on Hvar. Now to the breakfast and 3 course lunches. What can I say, these guys can cook!! No double up of meals which kept us guessing each day what we would be having and we were never let down. Each day there was plenty of time for swim stops in the most beautiful bays and in the most incredible and clear water. I was sad to say goodbye to my lilo I was using for the week. To sum up, if you want a carefree week, with great food, awesome excursions and 1st class service Saiil Croatia is it. Can't wait to do it all again

Where to begin, my family and I had a wonderful week sailing on a beautiful boat around the gorgeous Islands of Croatia with some wonderful people and that includes the crew who became very much part of our holiday. It was wonderful just stopping every day for a swim off the boat in some lovely location. My children who are 17 & 20 absolutely loved being able to jump off the boat and swim, they also throughly enjoyed the company of all the other passengers who were all of various ages. The meals on board were good, especially the Captain's Dinner, which was a wonderful event and the food was excellent. We had a wonderful cruise rep, Andrij who was extremely helpful and honest about what we really should do or go and see. The cruise itinerary was brilliant and it was the best way to soak up the true experience of seeing and sampling everything that Croatia has. I would recommend this holiday to anyone and I can't wait to do it again sometime soon.

Great cruise companions and great staff on the boat made this trip so easy to enjoy. Australians are people I would travel with anytime anywhere. The cruise stops were all very interesting and our host Antonio was very capable of filling us in on all the history and local information to make our trip so fulfilling.

The crew on the ship were very hospitable. We must compliment the chef lunches were amazing. Really enjoyed the daily swims.

Having been on many holidays and cruises previously, this Sail Croatia experience was the best thing we've ever done as a family. The weather was very kind to us, our ship (Cristal) was very well-appointed and the voyage very smooth. We particularly enjoyed the food presented by our gourmet chef and all aspects of the cruise were extremely comfortable. The swim stops alongside the idyllic surrounds of the Dalmatian Coastline were a highlight of our trip and further enhanced by the dramatic topography of the many islands and inlets serving as stunning backdrops. Each island and coastal stopover was breathtaking. The historic centres & architecture were stunning and the many restaurants, bars & cafes were world class. We were fortunate to have timed our holiday to coincide with Croatia's foray in FIFA 2018 resulting in a vibrant and exciting ambience throughout our entire trip. Loved every minute of it and can't wait to plan our next one.

Sail Croatia was beautiful, relaxing and fun, great value and just the right size. I loved being able to stay in port overnight, all the excursions were local and small groups, the crew, particularly the guides were knowledgeable and great at their jobs. We’ll be back 😃

What can I say but "Wow"! This trip was amazing and my wife and I had a wonderful time. I booked this trip based upon online reviews and it didn't do it justice. Some of the highlights of this trip are: 1) Explorer cruise- we had 30 people on our cruise ranging in age from 21 to mid 60's. Everyone got along very well and we made friends for life on the trip. Nice mix of partying, adventure and just good company 2) Scenery - everywhere we looked was picture postcard beautifu 3) Our boat (the Aurora) - great boat, awesome crew, and perfectly sized for this vacation. Food was very good and the housekeeping was spot on 4) Destinations - each island we visited offered something new: Cycling in Mljet, local dinner in Korcula, renting scooters on Vis, Blue Cave (breathtaking), fortress and night clubs on Hvar, epic moon over the Stari Grad habor 5) Sail Croatia guide - Vedran was an awesome guide and consummate professional We will definitely be recommending Sail Croatia to our everyone

The staff aboard including the fantastic captain (Ivan) were just great They went beyond the call of duty to make our stay on board special. The stop overs were fantasic and Dubrovnik was just the best. Loved the cabins as the size was just right. The food and company of the crews and guests made it a fond memory my wife and I will never forget. The represetative(Verdan) from Sail Croatia was witty and very professional. I would like to say a big thank you to Sail Croatia for a memorable experience which was the highlight of our holiday and travels . Ps I have already recomemended the trip with your company to so may others.

Hi there and thank you for your review.

Thank you for all your comments on the cabins, food and your representative Verdan. We will pass your comments on to the appropriate parties. Thank you for recommending us to others!
Aurora 30/9/2017 Vedran our cruise guide made sure that everything we needed was taken care of his humour kept us all laughing. The food that was served up every day for our lunches left most of the restaurants we went to in the evenings for our nightly meals in second place. The chef on board was fantastic top marks . Every morning we stopped at the most beautiful bays for a swim and then a fantastic lunch .Early every afternoon we docked to see the history, culture and scenery of a different island of town. There were excursions organized or we could choose to do our own thing. The cabin was spacious and the boat was spotless and well maintained. We did the 1 week Split south return trip as part of a 5 week holiday through Greece and Croatia and it was the best way to see the islands with the least amount of worry. I would recommend the ship, crew and Vedran our guide to everyone 5 stars are not enough . Thanks to all involved for making our holiday so memorable.

The combination of a fine boat, and a daily routine which included sailing, stopping at a bay for swimming from the boat, visits to beautiful small towns and or national parks, a very service orientation crew and a charming Sales Croatia guide. The quality of Dodd - breakfast and lunch onboard was also excellent. And well, the islands and coastal lands of Croatia are exceptionally beautiful. .Wolfgang

I did the same cruise with my wife six years ago and said it was my best holiday ever! Thought I'd give it a go with my three children (21, 18 and 15) this year, and although didn't drink as much wine or eat as much seafood, the experience was just as good by being rewarding in different ways. Great crew, great boat, excellent food on board and Croatian port towns, swim stops and fellow passengers, who were all there for a bit of fun, couldn't have been more perfect! Thanks Sail Croatia for a fab vacation.

Hi there and thank you for your 5-star review. We are so pleased you returned to join us again, with your family in tow - it sounds like you all had an amazing time which is great to hear. Thank you for your comments on our crew, boat, food and itinerary. We appreciate all your comments here and we hope to have you back for a 3rd time! Thank you.
Incredible staff and crew. Ana was absolutely amazing!!!! The captain was excellent along with the crew! Maybe breakfast could have a few more eggs and bacon prepared ahead of time and the bathroom in our room backed up a bit with odour but everything else was excellent

(1) Like a good comedian, Sail Croatia left me wanting more. I can't wait to return to Hvar, Korcula or Vis. (2) Hvar, Korcula, Kominje, Vis were all unbelievable, really easy cities for families. (3) Biggest challenge was late docking in popular ports. (4) Dubrovnik and Split are too crowded with cruise ships. Sail Croatia was the best way to get away from the crowds.

We sailed Dubrovnik-Split with a lovely group & fantastic rep, Stanko. Stan was very informative and looked after our needs very well. The opportunity to see the islands & swim in lovely clear water from the boat was superb. We combined this with. Game of Thoines tour in both Dubrovnik and Split which made the area even more interesting.
- Simon, 15/08/2017 06:52, Travelled with Family
Thank you for your review - we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time on our cruise and in Croatia as a whole. Thank you for your feedback on your rep Stan - we will be sure to pass this on. We hope you enjoyed the Game of Thrones tour. Thanks again.
This was our first cruise type holiday so we had no idea what to expect. But it surpassed all our expectations. We had an above deck cabin - i had seen on other reviews that this could be noisy - this was not the case. It was large, comfortable and the ensuite was big. Our rep Ana was brilliant, she went beyond the call of duty. Her knowledge of Croatia was huge, we all felt like a big family. All the staff were friendly, helpful and always there to help. The food was plentiful and delicious, and they catered for our fussy needs. Our 17 & 18 year old had plenty of activities to keep them busy and opportunities they had never had before. I highly recommend this as a holiday. We will be back. Thankyou.

Absolutely loved our time on the boat and saw so much of beautiful Croatia. The boat facilities were amazing and our children loved it. Only change I would have made would be to have more child friendly meals given it was a family cruise.

This was our first experience on a cruise and have to say picking the Premier Plus was a good choice, there were a total of 38 passengers on board and of various ages, everyone got along very well. Our guide Anna was excellent, very informative and always ready to help you in any way she could. The crew were all friendly and worked very well together as a team. We would definitely recommend this to anyone, particularly anyone not wishing to go on the big liners.

We had a great boat, great crew and staff and a great Tour director (Miranda). This cruise is the perfect combination of relaxation, swimming, exploring towns, activities and finding great restaurants. The group of guests on the boat was from honeymooners to retirees, and all were friendly and interesting and we loved getting to know everyone. You can be as social as you want or not, it is the perfect size boat. We will be back!

The staff were friendly and the cruise was delicious. I will recommend this trip to all I meet. The Almissa was a great ship and looked after the guests really well. All activities were fun and well priced. The food - incredible!

Our Hostess Helena was awesome & a complete pleasure to cruise with. Rooms were great & the number of folks on the boat made the experience better than large cruises. Captain & crew were very respectful & fun. Our chef did an awesome job preparing lunch each day. The boat was always clean & comfortable. Croatia was a complete surprise in how beautiful & calming the area was for me. Look forward to returning some day.

My Husband and I really enjoyed this cruise. The crew was wonderful and accommodated any request we had.- specifically my dietary needs for lunch as we both do not eat sea food and I don't eat beef, pork, lamb, etc. Our rooms were clean and spacious for the size of the boat. The swim times/spots were also great! . The only issue I had was the age of the other guests. We are closing in at 60 and the other guests were more in their 30's. My Husband didn't mind; however, I did. Lastly, I think a little Croatian music would have given the atmosphere a more authentic feel..
