As a travel professional, I can confidently say Sail Croatia delivered an outstanding experience. From the stunning coastline to the seamless itinerary, every detail was thoughtfully planned. What truly made our trip exceptional, though, was our amazing crew. Skipper Ante kept us safe with his expert handling of the boat and entertained us with his local knowledge and good humor. Hostess Fanny made us feel completely at home and her cooking was nothing short of phenomenal—every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The boat “Sizzle” was comfortable, clean, and the perfect base for exploring hidden coves, charming towns, and crystal-clear waters. The care taken by the crew made this an unforgettable week on the water. Sail Croatia sets the bar high—I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable way to experience the Adriatic.

Our sailing trip with Sail Croatia was amazing! Our skipper, Bruno took us to stunning turquoise bays for swimming and snorkeling and to picturesque ports in red -roofed medieval towns. Bruno knew all the best, most charming restaurants where we enjoyed delicious fresh fish and tasty local wine.. Bruno is an excellent sailor, and guide and we all absolutely adored spending the week with him! Everyone affiliated with Sail Croatia was friendly, helpful and punctual. We really appreciated the excellent customer service including help with our luggage and rides when we arrived and departed. We highly recommend Sail Croatia and if you get Bruno for your skipper, you’ll have a great time!

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. The Alley Cat was luxurious and had everything we needed. It was meticulously clean. Meslav was so conscientious. When our daughter left her backpack at a hotel, he made multiple calls and arranged to have it ferried over for her. Dijana was likewise amazing, cooking us breakfast and lunch. I can’t say enough about these two, who made our trip perfect. Our family of eight had an amazing time that we will never forget.

Our week with Sail Croatia was truly extraordinary. From seamless organization from start to finish and the warm, personal touches from the incredible crew, every detail exceeded expectations. The boat had its issues here and there but was more than comfortable. The people and experiences that made the trip unforgettable. Highlights included e-biking through Mljet’s lush forests and lakes, and exploring Korcula, and enjoying absolutely tremendous meals prepared by our amazing hostess. Daily swim stops were for sure one of the best parts, and remember to leave it to the skipper to find the best ones. I can confidently say this is the best holiday, I have ever taken with my family, Sail Croatia is second to none. For the best experience, I would advise to contact Ante and Fani as skipper and hostess, as they made this experience possible, and went above and beyond every day. A huge thank you to them.

We had an incredible week on the Blackbird with an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly skipper Ana. She was flexible and guided us incredibly well. Danijel our host was equally delightful and prepared great meals on board for the family. No request was too big or small. Overal we had a superb time and look forward to sailing again in the near future. This was an experience of a lifetime with memories made that we will forever cherish.

We had an unforgettable week sailing with Sail Croatia on a private yacht, starting and ending in Split. The trip was incredibly well organised, and our skipper, Ante, was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the journey feel effortless. Every stop brought something special and the memories we made will stay with us for a long time. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Croatian coast in a relaxed, personal way.

Fantastic time had by all. Dino was great and his advice was spot on every time.
- Troy, 07/07/2025 12:43, Travelled with Family
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.

Just finished a 7 night Split-Split private yacht charter with Sail Croatia on the Catamaran Jubilo. We had 2 families with 8 people including 4 teenagers, and what an amazing experience! Our skipper Linda, and hostess Ivana were really amazing and made our experience truly unforgettable. They both were so thoughtful and friendly, and went out of their way to make sure our every need was cared for. Every day we had amazing swim stops, and stayed in beautiful Dalmatian towns. Our hostess made the most beautiful and delicious breakfast and lunch’s for our family. She and our skipper even booked dinner reservations every night at amazing restaurants. We’re just finishing a month traveling in Europe and everyone in the family agrees our week on the Jubilo with Sail Croatia was hands down the highlight of our trip. We will be back.
- Eric, 03/07/2025 06:20, Travelled with Family
Our Skipper Ante, was fantastic. He picked up on our sense of humour straight away and joined in, becoming part of our family over the week. He was very happy to teach us how to sail the yacht and encouraged us to get involved. Our yacht, Sizzle, was beautiful. Modern, comfortable and well appointed. We arranged provisioning before we left, with Artisans of Food, which turned out very well. The itinerary from Split to Dubrovnik gave us plenty of variety from the quiet local villages of Mljet & Sipan to the bustling stops in Hvar and Korcula, and of course, swim stops in stunning bays every day! I highly recommend a private yacht tour if you have a group of friends / family who want to enjoy this stunning Croatian coast while having an active and fun adventure.
- Dougall, 01/07/2025 11:20, Travelled with Family
Unforgetable family experience. The captain showed us the beauty of Croatia with a great itinerary - a perfect mix of secluded coves, amazing towns, and great sailing. The boat was spotless and comfortable. Plenty of food storage, a bit tight on luggage storage.
- Andrey, 01/07/2025 09:57, Travelled with Family

The trip was great, Croatia was great and our skipper, Igor , was incredible. I was wondering how everything was going to work out with me and my four family members and a stranger but by the end Igor was one of the family. Don't let him get away.
- Gary, 27/06/2025 22:49, Travelled with Family
Nearly 10 years ago we found Sail Croatia it helped us see all aspects of Croatia. We now decided to do it again and it was better than we remembered. The staff at Sail Croatia was extremely helpful and always willing to lend support and answer questions. During the trip our skipper, Igor was the perfect individual to lead us through our holiday. He allowed us to partner on the daily plans and created the perfect adventure for our family. As we reflect back on these memories we will never forget these moments. We can only hope to be able to Sail Croatia again!
- Aaron, 26/06/2025 02:33, Travelled with Family
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. Can’t say enough how great Lola’s restaurant recommendations were. Not one bad meal. Swim stops were welcome respite from the days heat.

From start to finish the cruise and the staff exeeded our expectations , what a wonderful experience. We are already discussing our next cruise !!
- David, 10/06/2025 06:26, Travelled with Family
The small sized ships allowed access to smaller, quieter, and less busy ports allowing access to the real charm of Croatia. We loved the varied destinations, ports, and rides. No two days were the same. It also allowed us to really interact with the other guests and get to know them well. Our guide’s knowledge of the area and its history was excellent and very informative.
- Jay, 09/06/2025 09:28, Travelled with Family
The crew were amazing and helped out whenever necessary, Clara our Rep was very helpful and friendly. The experience was amazing and the people we met have become friends for life
- Erin, 05/06/2025 17:18, Travelled with Family
Not only was the location of the cruise stunning but the experience was made so much better by the crew of Salve de Mare and our guide Vicko. Every day was laid out for us in advance with advice on the best excursions and places to visit. The crew of the ship was always attentive and the food was delicious. Vicko was personable, knowledgeable and truly cared about our experience. Overall, the entire trip from start to finish was annazing and made for one of if not the best trips of my life.
- Luke, 05/06/2025 14:57, Travelled with Family
The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.
- Nick, 02/06/2025 12:43, Travelled with Family
The most amazing week on-board Tuna. Ceili was an awesome tour guide - engaging with the group and showing us the best of Croatia; as well as giving us the necessary history and keeping us on-time. The captain took us to the most beautiful swim stops and Leo was fabulous behind the bar mixing up cocktails!! Toper was always quick to assist when needed and Maren made up tasty meals. We had a great group too and nobody was left out. A week that I won't forget anytime soon and will hopefully be back in the next few years!! Thank you Ceili and crew for making the week extra speical :)
- Daniel, 01/06/2025 13:38, Travelled with Family
The locations and crew were outstanding. Our guides Mario and Marin were full of knowledge and stressed safe riding. The crew on the boat were also very good. The booking process was less than stellar. My son and I were assigned a room with one double bed, not two singles. Since are large people, it did not work. He slept under the bed. Booking knew the assignment but would not/could not change it. Serious screw up by the office staff.
- Larry, 30/05/2025 15:08, Travelled with Family
Hi Larry, thank you for your review and for your kind words about our guides and crew – we’re delighted you enjoyed the overall experience. We regret to read about your booking experience. As outlined in our FAQs, cabin types vary by ship and are based on 2 people sharing – with configurations including twin beds, bunk beds, or one double bed. Whilst preferences can be requested at booking, we cannot guarantee specific layouts due to each ship’s unique cabin setup and limited availability. Final cabin allocations are confirmed a week before departure. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again.
The boat was immaculate. A credit to the skipper and crew. The guides Mika and Lola were fantastic.
- Warwick , 28/05/2025 10:50, Travelled with Family
The boat was great and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the swim stops and all the ports Definitely recommend.
- Eric, 27/05/2025 23:01, Travelled with Family
Everything was near perfection. The Sail Croatia Reps, Mila and Lola were fantastic, knowledgeable, knew how to keep things moving with grace and good does of humor. The Cabin Crew and Deck Crew were super friendly and acted with concern as a was recovering from a bout of food poisoning (not Sail Croatia's or the Emanuel's Fault). Fellow passengers were super friendly and everyone got along well. Suggestions: 1: Cabins are a bit Spartan and could use a design refreshment 2: Make hiking poles available (I could not bring mine due to carry-on luggage rules) 3: Serve lunch after the hikes
- Ken, 27/05/2025 15:54, Travelled with Family
Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!

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

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
What a fantastic time we had, not being a cyclist riding the EBikes was the best thing. We were able to take in all the views that each day gave us. Our cycle guides Josko and Ann were simply the best. Loved the tales we were told at many stops. Thank you also to our crew, Ben our waiter was amazing one person to look after 29 of us. We will be back

The Country and Croatia were beautiful. The Yacht we were on Olympia, was beyond our expectations. The service, food, staff were excellent. After taking several cruises, Our cruise director Dino, was the best we have ever had. He made our trip. We will loook to sail with you company again after this cruise.
- Kristy’ Burnett, 29/04/2025 06:41, Travelled with Family
The crew went to great lengths daily to address any questions or concerns. The food was great and if you liked your morning eggs other than was offered, the cook took orders. The cycling staff was very attentive to your safety and to each person physically being able to do days planned route. All in all great service for an affordable price.

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!
- Brian, 22/10/2024 07:36, Travelled with Family
We sailed the Dalmatian islands off the coast of Croatia on board the luxury cruise yacht Olimp. The accommodation was exceptional comfortable and roomy. Captain Jure and the crew of the Olimp were outstanding, providing an awesome experience, while cruise representative Vedran took great care of us explaining (each day) historic/cultural significance of each port we stopped at and leading us in some of our on-shore tours. Even though our cruse was in late September / early October we still managed to stop periodically in quiet coves to swim and enjoy the waters of the Adriatic.
- Donald, 18/10/2024 15:09, Travelled with Family
Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.

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.
From the first day to the last day everything went as planned, the areas we visited were fantastic. The food on board was great and the staff were all very nice and helpful. Would definitely do a cruise with you again.

Sailing Croatia on a catamaran is the best way to experience the beautiful Croatian coast line. Amazing swimming spots, lovely dinners at each island and interesting culture and heritage. Hrvoje (Jack) was a brilliant skipper. His knowledge, friendliness and experience was excellent. The sail Croatia team made the booking of the holiday an easy process with great communication.. I can highly recommend the Sail Croatia team if you are looking to sail the Croatian coast line.

The cabins were cold and the first nigt on board the boat we could hardly sleep due to the chill in the cabin. We could not control the tempreture in the cabin. The cabin had lower standard than we expected. The food served on board was not good.Breakfast was good but lunch and grill could have been better.. I had the feeling during the trip that we were alwayes in a hurry. and the cykling tours not relaxed.Not much time for fotos or to observe the scenery etc. Nevertheless we enjoyed the trip.The staff was friendly and helpful at all times.
- Pall, 26/09/2024 17:53, Travelled with Family
Hi Pall, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your trip and found our staff friendly and helpful, though we're sorry to learn that some aspects didn't meet your expectations. Regarding the temperature in your cabin, we’d like to mention that the AC units onboard also have a heating function. Our Onboard Rep would have been more than happy to assist with this, had they been made aware of your discomfort. We appreciate your feedback on the meals. While breakfast met expectations, we'll pass your comments on to our team regarding the lunches served. In terms of the cycling pace, our Cycle cruises are designed for the more active traveler who enjoys a faster-paced itinerary. However, for those seeking a more relaxed experience with plenty of time to take in the scenery and capture photos, we offer other options such as our Explorer or Elegance cruises. These might be more suited to a leisurely travel experience in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back onboard soon for another adventure.
