The cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was a sensational experience. The captain and crew of the Almissa were excellent and Vicko the Sail Croatia representative was incredible and made our trip a memorable one! The swim stops and island visits were picture perfect!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble for the crew and guides. Everything was explained to us for the next day and again on the morning. The food was good and plentiful. The cabins are small but you aren't in them that often so you can live with that. Small observation by all my group was that it would have been good to be able to buy snacks along with drinks eg crisps, nuts etc as we were advised we could not bring any food on board. Loved it all!

The whole crew was an attentive, fun, hardworking group, which added to the great experience. The food was beyond expectations, it was a friendly environment and the agenda and information about upcoming stops was perfect. Our group had an amazing time. Highly recommend.

Great first cruise experience with Sail Croatia. Boat crew was fun and most importantly great Tour Manager; Klara. Very helpful throughout the week and shared a lot of insight and fun facts.
- Jeffrey, 13/05/2025 03:43, Travelled in a Couple
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
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.

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

Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.
- Dulce, 27/10/2024 04:07, Travelled with Family
This cruise was full of fun, relaxation and some of the best natural sights I've ever seen. Anita's knowledge of Croatia and where would be best to go was invaluable. We will be back!

Everything just came together beautifully. Fantastic weather, a diverse interesting group of friendly really nice passengers, a warm friendly crew and fantastic host Anita. On board food was great. The timing of events, swim stops and activities each day was well, thought out and just worked. 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!

Fun. Nice ship. Great crew. Good weather. Great tour director.
- Jon, 22/10/2024 03:13, Travelled in a Couple
We researched well and glad we did - it was well worth it. We selected the Katarina with Sail Croatia. The booking process was simple and efficient. We had the assurance the vessel we selected would be the one we sailed on. To our pleasant surprise, the vessel and crew exceeded our high expectations. Overall, between bareboat charter and cruise ships, this is the right size boat, right size crew and right size of guests. That we could tie up every night and free to come and go without water ferry made it extra special - like yachting. Very pleased and we highly recommend Katarina and her crew with Sail Croatia.

Beautiful boat, excellent staff, good food and fun excursions. Tour manager (Dino) and boat staff were amazing. Boat accommodations were better than many five star hotels
- Gary, 14/10/2024 12:52,
The staff, the food, the itineraries, the tours and the beautiful and spacious rooms made this cruise a number 10 in our book. We needed for nothing. It was very organized, clean and the food and service was excellent. Would highly recommend it as a must do. Thanks to the staff members. We appreciate all your hard work. Paul and Lorraine

The crew and the boat. Everything was first class.
- Jim, 14/10/2024 05:57,
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!

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.
- Stephen Carleton, 09/10/2024 04:55, Travelled in a Couple
The crew was great, they were friendly and really took care of us. The food was excellent and the ports we stopped at were really nice. This is a great way to explore Croatia with no stress or big crowds on a cruise ship.
- Chris, 08/10/2024 16:22, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Nigel, 08/10/2024 12:23, Travelled in a Couple
Simply a perfect cruise. Staff were attentive, service excellent, and truly made us feel welcome. Great selection for breakfast, and lunches were varied and delicious. 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.
- Robert, 07/10/2024 10:53, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Malcolm , 07/10/2024 06:54, Travelled with Family
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 crew and accommodations are spectacular. We’ll be recommending Sail Croatia to all our friends. Niko is a brilliant host that added so much color to the tour. Keep him happy!!!!!! Thank you. You made a difference in my life……
- Brian , 07/10/2024 06:34, Travelled in a Couple
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.

The trip exceeded my expectations! Croatia is such a wonderful place with welcoming people and breathtaking sites. The entire team on board the Katarina was incredible. Special shout outs to Dino our cruise director and host (all around great guy with a passion and pride for his homeland) and to Ivana running the Salon with the wonderful servers. 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. Thank you Katarina crew!

Our Sail Croatia representative Klara was the nicest, most genuine and funny tour host we have ever had! She supplied us with just the right amount of information and was truly a friend of all. The ship, the Salve de Mare. was fantastic and the crew was wonderful. The itinerary and swim spots were perfect! Overall a great holiday.

From the moment you stepped on board Princeza Diana, you felt welcomed. Klara our hostess was extremely professional, informative and lots of fun. We are so appreciative of all of her help on board. It made our trip truly special. All the other staff were also amazing. The boat was beautiful, cabins deluxe, and the food incredible. Every port and swim spot we stopped at was magical. We are so grateful we had such a fantastic and memorable experience on Princeza Diana. Will definitely recommend to anyone heading to Croatia. Thankyou.
- Peter, 30/09/2024 07:27, Travelled in a Couple
Trip of a lifetime made possible by the accomodations, experience and friendship of our tour guide Dino and the crew of the Katarina. Various stops was one better than the next. Activities were perfectly laid out and finally the other guest on board made this an over the top experience. Louise and I hope to see everyone again someday! Thank you all... "Sounds Good?"
- Douglas, 30/09/2024 07:25, Travelled in a Couple
The entire staff was gracious, friendly, very helpful and professional. Dino (our tour manager) was great, Ivana in the bar and dining area was fabulous. The Captain was very approachable and answered questions. The rooms were cleaned daily. It was perhaps the best run hospitality I’ve ever experienced. The group of passengers (all new to us) also added to the very positive experience. Highly recommend the particular ship.

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.
- Daryl, 24/09/2024 07:24, Travelled with Family
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 Sail Croatia tour representative, Vicko, was so knowledgeable and helpful. This cruise was absolutely the right choice for seeing the Dalmation coast and I highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Kevin, 23/09/2024 21:41, Travelled with Family
Me and my girlfriend had the best week on the Almissa cruise. Dino was such an amazing host and gave us so many amazing recommendations. I’ve we ever had a question he answered it. Every single one of the crew made our week very special. I have never laughed and smiled so much. Would definitely recommend this said Croatia cruise to anyone! Once again I would like to thank everyone on the boat for making mine and my girlfriends experience so special.

My partner and I and a friend sailed the 7 day cruise with Deano and crew. The complete trip was great and Deano helped with advice, guidance and recommendations for the trip. Everything this he advised was spot on and we could not ask for any more. Deano even assisted to locate and track our lost luggage and have it delivered to the boat. Could not recommend more and would like to sail again in future, Eoin Australia

We travelled on Salve Di Mare. The boat was awesome. The people we met along the way were also fantastic. We had the best week. Nothing was an issue for the crew and our guide, Vitcho, made sure all was in hand and was able to cater for many different guest preferences for on-board and off-board activities. Highly recommend.

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!
- Mark, 19/09/2024 14:04, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Julian, 19/09/2024 11:09, Travelled in a Couple
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!
- Geoff, 18/09/2024 14:27, Travelled with Family
What an amazing trip. Our group of four couples chose Sail Croatia due to its unique vessel size (16-20 cabins) and itinerary. Our expectations were exceeded by Vicko, the Sail Croatia representative on the trip, as he made sure all of our problems were solved, and we had an amazing trip - he is one of a kind and absolutely the Croation fixer! The crew of the Salve di Mare was fantastic. The boat was clean, the room sizes were surprisingly large, and they all worked to make sure we had everything we needed - plus great food and drink. Make sure to take opportunities to go off the beaten path - find unique experiences and take advantage of the ones the Sail Croatia team provides where it suits your interests. We were able to discover so much - we ate a fish the owner of a restaurant speared that morning and cleaned on the dock. We took a rowboat to a monastery on an island. We climbed a mountain (ok hill) overlooking a beautiful town on the Adriatic. Take this trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the Tempera. The staff and crew were fantastic keeping us fully informed of the daily itinerary and working hard to make our holiday as comfortable as possible. The food served onboard was excellent with a range of tasty well presented dishes. Dino our Sail Croatia cruise director was friendly and polite with an excellent knowledge of the local towns we visited. The boat was looking a little tired in places but this did not spoil our holiday in anyway. Would we use Sail Croatia again ? Absolutely!😁
