The ship, our cabin, the fantastic food, and absolutely wonderful crew, all exceeded our expectations….this was our first trip to Europe and with my wife recently retiring, we will be sure to be visiting Croatia once again and look forward to travelling on another slSail Croatia adventure!

We had a simply fantastic experience from start to finish. The booking experience was smooth, communication about check in time and all logistics was timely and detailed. What really made the trip for us was our Skipper Ante. From the start Ante understood what we wanted to achieve and being sailers he tailored our trip so that we could also learn how to sail the boat we had chartered. Ante planned the route together with us and ensured we also visited beautiful bays to swim and amazing restaurants throughout the trip. Without a doubt Ante made this trip very special for us and we want to repeat it again soon!

This was our seventh B & B trip and we had an excellent time. The staff and guides did an excellent job throughout the week. The food on the ship was very good. We used ebikes which I would recommend, they made the hills which there are many very easy to peddle up. There were not any panier bags on the bikes to carry anything in so I would recommend brining a small backpack or sling bike while riding.

A five star experience from the moment we boarded our boat. Cleanliness of the boat, a very helpful crew and quality and variety of the food was outstanding. Our guides were organized, knowledgeable and very attentive to ensure all customers had the experience they expected. What made the island trips very special was our ability to cycle into smaller towns and villages on each island and truly experience Island life. We had a number of people on the boat that were second and third time customers. This speaks volumes of the quality of overall experience.

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

The hiking cruise was sensational — an ideal blend of adventure, scenery, and seamless planning. Each hike offered breathtaking views and just the right level of challenge: enough to feel accomplished but never overwhelming. The hikes provided spectacular views of Croatia’s coastal beauty. What truly elevated the experience were our guides, Mate and Hana. They were outstanding—knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive. Whether it was sharing local insights, adjusting pace for the group, or simply bringing great energy to each day, they made the journey feel personal and memorable. The itineraries were fantastic, striking a perfect balance between structured activity and time to relax or explore. Every detail felt considered, from the timing of hikes to the onboard experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Croatia in a unique, active, and deeply rewarding way.

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
The entire week was a lot of fun and a very enjoyable experience. The freedom of riding across the Croatian islands to take in the magnificent scenery was tremendous. I would thorough recommend a Sail Croatia bike holiday to anyone considering.

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.
- Gary, 15/09/2025 11:11, Travelled with Family
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
Bruno, our skipper was amazing bringing us to different islands with ideas about what we wanted to see, such as military stuff, ziplining and go karting. He was amazing when giving things like restaurant recommendations as well as giving us the locations on google maps so we knew exactly where to go. overall amazing experience and our skipper was one of the main reasons why
- Tj, 15/09/2025 10:12, Travelled with Family
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

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

On our recently completed trip from Dabrovnic to Split for 7 days, Although the "Tempera" ship requires some strong maintenance repairs and surface repairs, the experience beyond that was incredible for a first time cruise guest on that size and style of a ship. Our Cruise Manager Sasha was the most friendly, knowledgeable management team member that leads the way in customer relations and makes all guests feel like a family member. The Captain and crew provide a constant team effort of providing services of any nature while at sea or when at dock daily. We were fortunate to have a dining room / bar drink service leader in "Max", his efforts exemplify professionalism customer service. The most valuable aspect of this specific cruise trip was the personal relationships built in a very short order of time (from day 1) of the other guests. This size of a ship and the areas of common use created an experience like no other, for the friendships that were created, we thank you.

Had an incredible time all the activities and experiences were great, but what really made it better than any other similar experience was the staff on the boat and our tour manager. Johnny our tour manager was probably the best part of the trip he made everything fun and enjoyable he went above and beyond to make it as good as possible for everyone On top of his knowledges of the different places we stopped and the connections and people he knew and the bars, clubs and restaurants he got us into with no issues at all All in all an outstanding man and incredible guide I can not speak highly enough of him The two sailors on out boat Nikola and Josip were also both great fun always ready for a laugh and to have a good time as well as completing their duties on the boat they also brightened everyday and made the entire trip more fun

I was pleasantly surprised how well this voyage was handled - from boarding, cruising, the food, the crew, and especially the information and suggestions from our cruise director Vicko. Croatia is beautiful and this was such a great way to see it! It was a perfect way for our group to be together while still all having our own unique adventures...

We had the privilege of having Johnny as our sail tour leader! We could not of been more lucky that he ended up as our guide. Everything was so planned out and made so easy - we just had to show up! Johnny always had plans for us and solutions to any problems if anyone had any. When other clients on other sail croatia boats wish to join our boat because of how good Johnny it just shows you how well of a job he is committed to doing. All of our experiences were perfect and always so fun but a big thanks goes to johnny who made sure it was effortless for everyone. Not to mention how he made everyone on board gel from day 1 and we ended up with the best group ever! Cant recommend sail croatia enough - Ps Request johnny as tour leader!

My friend and I sailed on the Navigator boat EOS and had the best week ever! From the moment we stepped onboard, we were welcomed by our tour manager Cal and the amazing crew. Everything was spot on — from the beautiful swim stops, to the great food, to the unforgettable nights out. Cal especially made the trip what it was — he kept the energy high, included everyone, and honestly felt more like a friend than staff. Couldn’t recommend Sail Croatia enough, and if you get the chance to sail on EOS with Cal, you’re guaranteed an incredible experience
- Brett, 12/09/2025 14:24, Travelled with Friend/s
We had the best time on EOS with Calum as our group guide. Everything from the boat itself, optional extras, food and of course our amazing guide Cal exceeded our expectations. My girlfriend said it was the best week of her life and I agree. Would definitely recommend this trip to all our friends and family. Special shoutout also to the amazing staff onboard including Lucy (Lucia) and Valentina.
- Callum , 12/09/2025 12:22, Travelled in a Couple
If you dream of sailing then this trip is for you. To see Croatian islands while sailing is a unique experience. Start with breakfast, Cruise in beautiful clear waters, swim for a couple of hours, eat a 3 course lunch and then explore a beautiful different island each day for 7 days. Plenty of activities to choose from as you go. A family run boat so service is key and they pride themselves on making your journey an exceptional one. I will recommend to all family and friends.
- Sally, 12/09/2025 11:16, Travelled with Friend/s
Had the best time on the premiere Navigator with Cal as our Host! The boat EOS was amazing and the crew/food were spectacular. Would definitely recommend to anyone on the fence.
- Jakim, 12/09/2025 10:52, Travelled in a Couple
Loved being able to ride the bikes through the Islands of Croatia and see the villages of the various islands. So many old ways are still observed, but over tourism is going to hurt this region in the long term. This is the way tourism should be be done, in small groups. Those big cruise ships are horrible for this beautiful country!!
- Keith, 11/09/2025 23:38, Travelled with Friend/s
Excellent trip - the guides were super friendly and professional and went above and beyond to make our this a wonderful experience The locations visited were stunning and the cycling very enjoyable (once we changed to e-bikes…) Not luxurious- but more than adequate I would highly recommend this trip to anybody
- Peter Crotty, 11/09/2025 09:48, Travelled in a Couple
the staff was excellent! Sonya, Miranda, Lubicza and Carlo all had excellent interpersonal people skills and language skills. Sonya and Miranda were very helpful to me because I was a new rider. They explained things multiple times and never lost their patience. These are excellent instructors because they had to manage a group of riders who had different abilities. I would do it again. Food, chefs and cabin were also excellent. Air conditioning at night did not always go on. That is my only criticism.
- david, 11/09/2025 00:38, Travelled in a Couple
Cycling the route Dubrovnik to Split thru the islands was nothing short of spectacular. The e-bikes were great, the food was good and the crew very good. Especially Mario and Andro. You guys rock! Being over 70, we were a bit nervous but the crew and the others on the boat made us feel like one big family. Thanks to the captain and crew for keeping us on course, safe and well fed!
- Eldon, 10/09/2025 15:28, Travelled in a Couple
Very well organised, great fun and perfect mix of excercise (cycling) and socialising (mainly eating, drinking and exchanging stories) with fellow guests. Special thanks to Miranda and Sanja for expert guidance and story telling on our daily cycles and to Ljubica and Karlo for superb bar & restaurant service and to captain and ship crew for guiding us safely in and out of our many ports, including loading and unloading 34 bikes each time.

We did the boat/bike from Dubrovnik to Split and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Our accomodation on board Colombo was very comfortable and our breakfast and lunch each day provides the fuel we needed to ride. No complaints about the food, although the tuna served at the Captain’s Dinner was overcooked for our preference. The crew of Colombo were all friendly and helpful if anything, I could have done a little more cycling most days, but that is not a complaint. We were very impressed with Andro and Mario. Thank you for a wonderful adventure. I 🩷 Croatia!!
- David, 10/09/2025 12:43, Travelled in a Couple
From start to finish the experience has been top notch. The boat was amazing and in perfect shape. But what really made it special was the crew. Josipa and Kiko were amazing and exceeded expectations on everything. Kiko was a great captain and took us to some amazing places all while recommending great dining, biking and anything else we needed. Best captain ever :) Josipa probably should have her own restaurant as the breakfast and lunch’s that she prepared for us were truly five star. We actually kept comparing the meals on the boat to the ones in town and found that we liked the boat meals more! She did all the shopping for us and made sure we had everything we needed. After a week we have made friends and plan on seeing them again. Thank you so much for making this vacation absolutely worth it.

We were on the Esperanza which is an excellent facility. The food and service were outstanding. I think every port stop should include a walking tour. I think it would be good to have the boat docked while we are at lunch so you could walk off immediately after lunch. Our cruise director Mia worked very hard to keep everything organized. Unfortunately she is difficult to understand as her speech is very rapid fire. The guests got to know each and all were friendly. Lovely overall experience!
- Scott, 10/09/2025 06:47, Travelled in a Couple
Andro and Mario were great guides and very informative and entertaining. Mario’s dining and drinking options were spot on. Food was very good. My only suggestions to make the trip better would be to not mix e-bikes and standard bikes - standard bikes kept e-bikes waiting for too long.
- Doug, 10/09/2025 06:40, Travelled with Friend/s
Nicola (captain) and Ivana were great crew to guide us along the Croatian coast. They were attentive and flexible with our group of 9 and Ivana did a great job preparing meals after shopping for us daily. The island stops were beautiful places to visit!

Lovely boat, comfy bed and cabin. Very relaxing on board and nice stops along the Split North route. SC rep was excellent as was service on board. Food was a bit hit and miss but Croatia not renowned for its cuisine. Warmed plates would help
- Nigel, 09/09/2025 14:06, Travelled in a Couple
The boat was spotless, the staff were really helpful and polite. Ioana our tour manager was great, always on the ball organising everything and tailoring the trips to suit the guests. We visited some beautiful places and got to see them in the daytime and evening as we were in port overnight. We did have a slight hiccup with one lunchtime meal when nearly half the guests had an upset stomach after eating the tuna. This could be something that they need to look at and maybe learn from. That been said I would definitely holiday with the company again, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
- Simon, 09/09/2025 12:16, Travelled in a Couple
Perfect size in terms of fellow passengers (30); Crew (7): Travel time (week); Port locations (easy on -off); Itinerary (a few excursions, daily swim, ample free time); Motor yacht (easily navigated, comfortable). Beautiful locations (Split, Markaska, Hvar, Shipen, Dubrovnik). Great boat / cruise manager (Maliante w/ Sasha). Highly recommended.
- Daniel, 09/09/2025 08:12, Travelled with Friend/s
Sailing on the Olimp with Sail Croatia was, overall, a very good experience. The boat itself was fantastic, and the crew were excellent. However, a couple of things did take the shine off the trip. Firstly, in the cabins there’s a constant whirring from the extractor fans throughout the night. The air-conditioning is fine, but these bathroom fans never switch off. We asked for them to be turned off, which they kindly did on the first night, but for the rest of the week we had to put up with the noise—such a shame. Secondly, breakfast was always served in the dining area, which is air-conditioned, but with all the doors kept closed the sound of 30 people chatting becomes deafening. It seems such a missed opportunity not to let guests spread out onto the aft deck, where there’s fresh air and space for the noise to dissipate.

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.
