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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Era la primera vez que íbamos de crucero en un barco de estas características. . La experiencia fue genial. A pesar de ser Lis únicos españoles, todo el mundo, tanto trabajadores como pasajeros hicieron todo lo posible para que estuviéramos agusto.

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

- Damian, 25/05/2026 14:55, Travelled in a Couple

Had a wonderful cruise on the Salve Di Mare. Nikos was a great host, the crew was a delight, and we had a great group that we met while on the boat. Would recommend to anyone to do it.

- Adam, 25/05/2026 11:16, Travelled in a Couple

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

- Alan, 25/05/2026 09:54, Travelled in a Couple

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

Calum was approachable, welcoming, entertaining, flexible and very patient with his tour group. Many thanks Mate, look forward to the tattoo! 👌🏻

We loved our week aboard the Tempera! The islands, our activities and our host Callum were fantastic! We’d highly recommend the Explorer experience to enjoy the Croatian islands.

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

- Chris & Maura, 17/05/2026 12:24, Travelled in a Couple

Our tour guide (Dino) was excellent, and I would highly recommend Sail Croatia to our friends. It was a great vacation, and I hope to come back.

- Kevin, 05/05/2026 13:29, Travelled in a Couple

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

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

Had a great time, low passenger (21) to staff ratio really helped. Couple of things though - Last cruise of the season meant we had to ask for things like spa being heated, etc - there wasn't a lot of initiative from crew in general, Also food and alcohol was running out so they weren't going to replace certain things. While we got a very SLIGHT reduction in price from peak time it did mean that we still felt as though we had to ask for things. Swim stops were awesome, but many people wanted to do more snorkelling options - It would have been easy to pull in a little closer to shore (100 metres) so we could see the bottom rather than swim there (I swam 250m there and back on one just to see the bottom). These are all minor details - the room was great, the tour manager Dino was AMAZING and dealt so well with a lot of different personalities. He responded immediately to all queries and was very patient with some of the more demanding passengers. We met great people.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We did the Explorer trip early October '25, so the towns visited were not as busy as peak season, which was great. Interactions with Sail Croatia ahead of the trip were clear, concise and quick (I would recommend sending guests a pdf or e-mail itinerary ahead of departure). The cabins were sufficient for a week's travel, the included lunch and breakfast perfect and crew and tour manager Nikos all very helpful. Additional excursions were suggested and organised where required. The only disappointment was that we couldn't do a swim stop during any of the days due to the windy weather. One could swim at the towns, though. Just to note, Croatia along the coast has become expensive for anyone that might be travelling on a budget, but all in all the trip was well worth it. The towns and natural surrounds exceeded all expectations and experiencing it on a small cruise boat (36 guests) is highly recommended.

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

- Gary, 02/10/2025 14:44, Travelled in a Couple

Staff, locations and other passengers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

- Errol, 23/09/2025 12:13, Travelled in a Couple

The people and the weather. Our stops at each island were amazing.

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

- Simon, 22/09/2025 14:00, Travelled in a Couple

Great staff and crew, very professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

- Troy , 22/09/2025 08:40, Travelled in a Couple

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

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

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

- John, 19/09/2025 11:15, Travelled in a Couple

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

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

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

- Steve, 15/09/2025 09:44, Travelled in a Couple

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

- William, 15/09/2025 07:25, Travelled in a Couple

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

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

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

- Daniel, 08/09/2025 09:17, Travelled in a Couple

The crew and guides treated us like family.

- Whitney , 08/09/2025 07:49, Travelled in a Couple

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

- Peter, 08/09/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple

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

- Brian , 03/09/2025 19:28, Travelled in a Couple

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

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

Dino and the crew made this cruise an absolute delight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- Paul Shogren, 26/08/2025 17:06, Travelled in a Couple

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

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

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