First was the team supporting us. Sonja and Hrvoje did a great job leading (and following) the bike ride. They provided a nice route and lots of information about each island. Plus good suggestions for where to get dinner and explore. Andrea made each meal a real pleasure. His attention to our needs was top notch. He and our cook provide food that tastes great, was got and freshly served. Our crew was friendly, curtious and always helpful. They worked so hard and made our ship clean and beautiful. Finally, the captain shows us amazing skill as he parked the so or took of for our next destination. A true master! Sail Croatia is a fantastic your organization and everything from our state rooms to our food to our last day party provided memories to be charged. I highly recommend you sail with them on your next Adriatic vacation.

Our Sail Croatia cycle cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was perfect. Cruising along the breathtaking Dalmatian Coast was an absolute delight — we were even treated to a magical moment when a dolphin played in the pressure wave at the bow of our ship! Each island we visited offered a glimpse into the region’s rich history and culture. Our mornings were active and invigorating, filled with cycling, swimming, and walking, while the afternoons and evenings had a slower pace. We enjoyed leisurely strolls through the narrow streets of ancient walled cities, or relaxed on sun loungers on the deck of the ship, While we made wonderful new friends among our fellow passengers, there was also plenty of quality "us time" for my wife and me to relax and connect in these stunning surroundings. The crew and guides were exceptional — warm, welcoming, and highly professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly while making us feel at home. As far as holidays go, this experience was simply perfect!

A fantastic holiday around the beautiful Croatian islands with Sail Croatia. The e-bikes made the island tours relaxing and the routes were well thought out with plenty to see along the way, with our excellent guides explaining everything before, during and afterwards. Back onboard, we were well looked after by the crew and staff, who could not do enough to make the holiday extremely enjoyable.

Our guide Ivica and Martin were exceptional! Ivica went out of his way to ensure everyone on board had a great experience at all times. He set up an extra bus tour in Dubrovnik and also got up early in the morning to accompany two passengers to the ferry and to ensure they got to were they needed to go! Martin, for his first trip was also great. He told several stories and shared many facts about the history of Croatia. Both men made the trip fantastic. The entire crew aboard the Mali Ante made each and every one of feel at home. The food was great and the two chefs were amazing!

From the first greeting at the dock in Split to making sure we had transport to our next destination in Dubrovnik, Anita made us feel like family. Each day’s activities were communicated through regular briefings and schedule updates on WhatsApp. Our hiking guide, Mate, explained the details of each walk and made sure we all felt confident with the pace and difficulty each time he led us to the magical views he shared with us. The crew were fantastic. The Captain changed some days around to avoid bad weather and rough seas. The food was great and the ship was always clean and tidy. We had a great time and the Sail Croatia guides and the Salve Di Mare crew made sure we were comfortable, active and well informed. We learnt so much about Croatia. Obviously a place loved by our guides and the crew. Thank you for sharing your country and your knowledge with us!!

Great hosts, Mario and Ivan, friendly ship crew. We would have liked longer rides and more swim stops but you cant please everyone.

All i can say is how great the holiday was from start to finish - from the great crew - Andre,H,Sanja and the rest of the crew and how great our fellow travellers were - what a week :) have already recommended it to various friends who are booking for next year
- paul, 14/05/2025 07:28, Travelled with Friend/s
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.
- Michael, 13/05/2025 22:35, Travelled with Friend/s
From start to finish, this was a top notch operation. Mario and Ivan were incredible guides, and the crew kept us comfortable and well fed on the boat. Will definitely recommend this to others!
- Tom, 13/05/2025 19:59, Travelled in a Couple
This was just a great trip -- it truly exceeded our expectations. My wife, a relatively unsure bicycle newbie with no prior e-bike experience learned so much and can't wait to do more tours. Being a more experienced adventure biker, I also thoroughly enjoyed the trek on a classic bike. The excellent guides and breadth of cycling experience within the friendly group easily accommodated our disparate skill levels, so we both had excellent, positive experiences. The boat was beautiful, the crew, including the bartenders, chefs, sailors, and captain, were always extremely helpful. Our guides, Ivan and Mario, were exceptional and really made our trip, both biking and boating, smooth and effortless. They fostered a warm camaraderie among the group that really made the trip a joy for everyone. In sum, we'd recommend this bike/boat cruise to anyone who knows how to ride a bike and wants to tangibly experience an amazingly beautiful part of the world.

The Romantic Star was a wonderful ship. Captain Ivan and his crew were professional, enjoyed a laugh and tried their best to give us the most amazing time. Only a few little things that could be improved - some swimming equipment such as googles and flippers might assist, the host was amazing! Ioana did more than enough to keep us updated, managed to get the passengers together, United and having fun! Lastly, the highlight of cruising was the food, the chefs onboard were amazingly good! Great times
- Graham, 13/05/2025 13:24, Travelled in a Couple
The ship is a classic beauty nicely updated. The service,crew and food superb. Vicko our rep, always kept us well informed and did a great job. Well organised and well planned 7 days cruise. An unmissable experience!

Karolina and the Crew Only down side was the Hot Breakfast was always cold and disappointed the Captain only sat on one table and did not move to each table after each course.
- Greg, 13/05/2025 07:42, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Greg, thank you for 4-star review. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with Karolina and the crew. We’ve taken note of your comments regarding the breakfast and the Captain’s presence, and will be sharing them with the team to ensure we continue to deliver the high standards of service and quality we strive for. Thank you.
We booked the trip relatively last minute and had no expectations but open minds. From the start we loved this experience. We were lucky to have an extremely cohesive group. We gelled quickly and had much in common. The cycling was so enjoyable. A nice degree of difficulty with hills always there to challenge. Josko and Ana, our guides were always approachable, supportive and kept the rides interesting! The crew on board the Emanual were engaging, interesting and always met us with a smile. The food was plentiful and delicious. We would easily do this trip again !
- Terri, 13/05/2025 06:03,
The cruise had a nice relaxing pace but there was still lots to enjoy The food was great. Vicko was very helpful and entertaining.
- Glenn, 13/05/2025 05:59, Travelled in a Couple
The Caption, Ante, server/bartender, Benjamin, chef, George and three other crew were friendly, skilled and always helpful. Jasko and Anna were superb professional bike guides. The classic, but beautifully detailed ship Emanuel was immaculate, showing pride of ownership. Early May weather was ideal while island visits were adjusted according to sea and port conditions. Overall, the best voyage we’ve ever done.
- Warren , 13/05/2025 04:24, 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.
- Michael, 12/05/2025 17:14, Travelled in a Couple
Great experience meeting a number of people from around the world. Crew did a fantastic job ensuring we were kept safe and answered all of our needs. Well done. Klara our cruise director did an outstanding job keeping us informed and did everything she could to ensure we were taken care of regardless of the time. Highly recommended
- James, 12/05/2025 17:08, Travelled with Family
Everyone was so friendly both guests and staff. All staff worked hard to ensure we had a pleasant experience. I felt we should have had complementary tea/coffee available at all times. Also the cycle part of our trip could have given water bottles .
- Andrew , 12/05/2025 15:21,
Sail Croatia staff were amazing. Anita and Matthias (sp?) were both perfect hosts. They made the trip. Hikes were amazing, knowledge of local attractions was fantastic. Salve Di Mare boat was beautiful and crew were also amazing. Food was top notch and each stop was a different and incredible experience. The trip exceeded our expectations - highly recommend!

Miranda and Lucija were amazing guides, They knew the territory and gave great advice for activities on the islands. They were ALWAYS smiling and made the trip so fun. I highly recommend this trip. Croatia Split/Split southern route.
- david, 12/05/2025 10:20, Travelled in a Couple
The staff could not have been more helpful, the guides were knowledgeable and were quick to make changes when the weather demanded it. However charging €40 for a bottle of sparkling wine that retails at £6 is outrageous.
- Colin, 12/05/2025 10:14, Travelled with Family
The personnel are top notch. Extremely flexible and proactive. Liked how trip plan was modified to avoid bad weather. Seems guest scheduler's are careful to group similar age and fitness levels together. Crew very courteous, respectful and friendly. Considering returning for northern sail.

More time at destinations rather than hanging out at sea. Get a real coffee machine. That powdered machine was terrible.
- Dennis, 11/05/2025 09:06, Travelled in a Couple

The crew was the highlight of our experience, skipper Anna and host Daniel made it a memorable experience, Our swim stops and overnight stays were well thought out and made for a pleasant experience. Most of all was the friendly, professional and efficient service of the crew, Anna and Daniel went above and beyond.

- Morpheous, 09/05/2025 13:34, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was perfectly organized—friendly and knowledgeable crew, a clean and comfortable yacht, and a well-planned itinerary that balanced relaxation, adventure, and nightlife. Each island had its own unique charm, from the historic beauty of Hvar to the laid-back vibes of Vis. The food was fantastic, the group dynamic was fun and social without feeling forced, and the sunsets we experienced at sea were something I’ll never forget. The swim stops in crystal-clear waters were a daily highlight, and the local experiences (like wine tasting and exploring old towns) made the trip feel authentic. If you’re looking for a mix of exploration, partying, and sailing through paradise—this is it. I’ll absolutely be booking again.

The boat, staff and especially the cruise director Mia. She made it fun and informative and was a pleasure to be around. Every day was exciting and fun. We always knew what was happening and what to plan for. She kept us well informed and shared so much of the history and stories of the areas that we visited. Everything was great and I would highly recommend this trip to other friends.

The combination of cruising, cycling and exploring the islands along the southern Dalmatia was perfect. The experienced guides were the best! Thank you Jošco and Ana.

It was a wonderful adventure to a region of this world I had not considered venturing to before. The ship took great care of us on board and Mia, our official cat herder, did a fantastic job of steering us through a series of wonderful excursions focused both on culture, as well as the local vineyards!

We both had a wonderful time , Our upper deck cabin was spacious and cool . The boat crew very professional and friendly. All meals were delicious and well presented. We chose Ebikes , we're on holiday so hills were easy . Bikes great to ride , internal hub gears foolproof and great brakes for the long decent . The daily rides good balance of terrain and scenery . Our guides Tonka and Anita were wonderful, Tonka at the front keeping an course and safe and Anita at the back motivating the stragglers. They also did ride briefings in the morning and suggestions for restaurants and things to see when in port . Thanks to all , great fun 😁
