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

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.

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!

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!!

Bike leaders Sanja and Miranda provided great routes. They provided top drawer guidance, recommendations, bike support and were very flexible with us. Ship crew were friendly and ship was nice with friendly clothes lines.. island stops were amazing .
- Terry, 09/09/2025 07:15, Travelled with Family
The bike rides, the stops on different islands, your staff, the food.. Overall, we were very impressed with our holidays and will highly recommend to others.
- Richard, 08/09/2025 06:16, Travelled in a Couple
The itinerary was well plannned with excellent leaders. I especially enjoyed the bike routes and swim spots! The food was good but the coffee was not acceptable! I would use Sail Croatia again!

It started with communication. The staff at Sail- Croatia communicated were very accommodating. Prompt responses and always made you feel comfortable. The crew ship staff were excellent as well.

Our cycle/boat trip was a great mix of sightseeing, swimming, coffee, snacks and exercise. I recommend using an electric bike, even if you are a cyclist. George was our chef. . . he was the best. Lots of vege’s with his meals. Great guides.
- Richard, 25/08/2025 09:36, Travelled in a Couple
We had an excellent week with Andre and Sanja on the Donis. The weather was perfect, as was the crew and guides services. Lots of boat and swim time, excellent guided bike rides and time to explore the communities we visited. Would highly recommend this trip and will be back to Croatia again.

Firstly, the crew. They were excellent. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were constantly enthusiastic during the week’s holiday - despite the heat! Miranda and Ilona were amazing and Sail Croatia is very lucky to have them. You had their undivided attention throughout the experience and work tremendously hard but always with a smile on their face. Food was excellent too! Thank you again, Angelo
- Angelo, 19/08/2025 08:49, Travelled in a Couple
Great sized group so got to know everyone, great guides Miranda and Eloni, beautiful countryside. I loved the rock walls. Definitely will be recommending this trip.
- Andrew, 18/08/2025 15:43, Travelled in a Couple
I cannot speak highly enough about the Sail Croatia tour. The crew was fantastic. The guides were great. No surprises! Everything they said in the advertising was accurate. I would highly recommend them to you.

Well organized cruise and cycle. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone

We love the islands and met new friends. The cycling was fun and the meals were good.
- Chris , 18/08/2025 05:37, Travelled in a Couple
My wife and I really enjoyed the fun, sights and camaraderie of our island-hopping cycling trip. Our expert guides, Miranda and Matilda, were there to guide us on each of the rides according to our abilities and encourage the group to support one another on this terrific, shared experience. Each of the island ports and rides on the trip showed the contrasts of this coastline. Thanks Sail Croatia for making this such a memorable highlight of holiday.

My second Sail Croatia holiday and just as good as the first. I chose the Split Northern Cycle Tour to explore some new places and more of some of the places I'd visited previously, It was a great trip with an excellent multi national bunch of people on board. We were well looked after and the rides were excellent, scenic, varied, interesting and challenging but do go for the e-bike option unless you are a serious bike rider!
- Peter, 22/07/2025 12:45, Travelled Solo
Cannot say enough about this bike/cruise we took with Sail Croatia. Perfect weather, excellent staff & crew on our ship (the COLUMBO), small sized passenger group (twenty four in all, making for relaxed, easy mingling, creative and delicious use of food on board, and just wonderful stops all along the Southern Route, SPLIT to DUBROVNIK. I wish we'd had more time to double back and do the Northern route as well, as some of our fellow passengers had done. Perhaps we'll get back soon! Truly, the trip of a Lifetime.

This is one of the best examples of an ‘Expedition’ Cruise. The combination of exercise with beautiful scenery, camaraderie, swimming in the Adriatic, food & beverages and great company was an amazing experience.
- Shane, 07/07/2025 21:53, Travelled in a Couple
good sociable week with like minded people. good mix of exercising and chilling. would of liked a couple of longer rides, maybe alternate days to mix it up. The boat was immacuateley kept and all the crew were very obliging. the guides Mirander and Martin were also very informative and helpful with any requests.
- Barry, 26/06/2025 18:16, Travelled Solo
Our sail/cycle cruise with Sail Croatia was the highlight of our trip. From great company, good food and a wonderful itinerary and marvelous crew our expectations were exceeded.
- ralph, 26/06/2025 14:56, Travelled in a Couple
We heard from two unrelated friends about Sail Croatia and it definitely met my expectations. Our guides, Miranda and Martin were amazing. They were organized, kind, and great communicators. The food was amazing and the cycling spectacular. We made new friends and had plenty of time to relax, swim in the perfectly clear Adriatic Sea, play games, tour the cities, and create amazing memories. I want to do it again as soon as possible.
- Rob, 24/06/2025 17:35, Travelled in a Couple
This trip was absolutely outstanding and I would recommend this to everybody. . The team from Sail Croatia our guides (Ivica & Mario) did an outstanding job looking after the 29 people on the boat & riding. Everyone one on this trip got on really well. The boat Emanuel whilst built in the mid 50's was in outstanding condition and their crew looked after the boat like it was brand new. The riding pace was generally easy with an e/bike and we covered more km's than advertised which was great.. Ivica & Mario stoped and gave great information several times during each ride. Would love to do another Sail Croatia bike trip.

Brilliant crew and cycle guides Good bikes Nice balance between cycling and other activities Swim stop every day at least once a day Excellent food Nice company Smooth check in Crew could not be more helpful.
- Paul, 23/06/2025 06:42, Travelled in a Couple
The tour managers (Ivan and Lucija) were fun and knew the right balance of professionalism and attentiveness. The bar manager/ waiter (Andre) was ever present and thoughtful. The crew were flexible to the requests of the Group e.g. additional stops for swimming off the back of the boat.
- Mark, 21/06/2025 14:50, Travelled in a Couple
The stops and bike rides were absolutely wonderful. Ivan and Lucy were great guides taking us to places that really showed Croatia. It was one of the most enjoyable trips I've been on and the highlight of our tour through Europe.
- David, 21/06/2025 04:51, Travelled in a Couple
Our e-bike adventure from Dubrovnik to Split exceeded our expectations. Great fellow travelers, friendly and helpful crew and a casual but professionally run tour. Breakfast and lunch on the ship and dinners out at a different island every night was just so fun!
- David, 19/06/2025 16:35, Travelled in a Couple
Beautiful Country, ship's crew was fantastic, food was great, rides were great. Could not have been better! We would do this trip again.

We had an amazing time on the Mali Ante. The crew looked after us well. Great food great people. Loved our guides Miranda and Tonka.. Enjoyed the ‘story time’’ and the humour on our rides as well as the organization and shuffling of schedules along the way. It’s made our experience memorable without having the stress of organizing things for ourselves. We were recommended this trip from others from Canada., and we are thankful for everything. We made many friends and hope to see you all in the future. Mark and Donna from Canada.
- Mark, 18/06/2025 14:08, Travelled in a Couple
Beautiful cycling trip through the Adriatic Sea and Croatian coast and islands, including refreshing swims. Cycling was challenging but good fun. Our guides Miranda and Tonka were fantastic and looked after us very well. They had a great sense of humour and we enjoyed the ‘stories’ on each ride. We were well fed on the Mali Ante and enjoyed great hospitality from the crew. We were a group of 14 and all got on so well and had lots of laughs.
- Joe, 16/06/2025 18:33, Travelled in a Couple

The Mali Ante crew & our two tour guides worked hard to make our trip the success it was. We cannot thank them enough. The food was generous & of a high standard.
- Paul, 16/06/2025 05:26, Travelled in a Couple
The tour leaders (Ivica and Mario) were great hosts, made sure we had a safe and interesting bike tour. The food was excellent, and the cycling on the different islands was fantastic. What a beautiful country ! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
- Terry , 16/06/2025 04:03, Travelled Solo
You are fortunate to have Ivan and Lucija working gor you. They both made the trip perfect for all the guests. Would definitely want them on my next trip.

1) Omit overnight on day 7 of trip. End the trip after lunch on day 6. This eliminates unreasonably early check out on day 7 and also makes it easier for a guest to check in to their hotel in DBV without having to wait until 12:00 or 13:00 check in time. 2) Onshore excursion options need clear explanation in pretrip communication. Example: I was not told that a scenic bus tour and a walking tour of DBV was available, so I booked them in advance with Viator. If I had known I would have gone on the onshore excursion instead. 3) Include the use of one pannier on the bike. 4) Include written instructions for charging the bike battery and operating the ebike. 5) There were three outlets in the cabin. That is insufficient to charge two bike batteries plus two phones plus hearing aids, etc. A simple multi-plug adapter can fix this issue. 6) Guide must not make promises he doesn't keep. Example: A military tour was promised on one island (Vis?) but was never delivered.

Hi Tom, thank you for your 3-star review. We also appreciate your detailed positive feedback and we’re so pleased you enjoyed the cruise and would recommend us. Guests are always welcome to disembark once the boat docks at the final destination, should they prefer to end their trip earlier. Your comments about the pannier, charging instructions, and multi-plug adapters are appreciated and have been passed to our Operations Team for review. While our guides provide information at the daily briefing based on the cycle schedule, some activities, such as onshore excursions or optional tours, may be subject to change or availability. We regret that the expectations around the military tour and Dubrovnik excursion options were not met - we appreciate your comments. Thank you again for your review.
From a captain and crew and our cycling guides, they went out of their way to make our trip and everyone else’s exceptional. I would recommend our trip to all of our friends and family and hopefully one day we can join you again for another trip.. You could also improve our experience with better coffee in the morning. Cheers

our trip was wonderful from start to finish . crew could not have been nicer and more helpful. Special thanks to Mario for his help in the dining room. The food and the chef were marvelous. Ana and Miranda were super helpful with our daily bike rides. Best cruise we have been on and we were sad to see it end. would definitely do this cruise again. if we could… This was a hard-working crew with great attention to detail and worked well together.. They all take pride in their work. A delight to be aboard the Mali Ante!!! A once in a lifetime experience and memory!!

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
Concept (power bikes) combined with Croatian touring. Fabulous cruise and cycletrip for couples who want to active lifestyle. The ship was newer and immaculate. The crew were caring, couteus, and helpful.
- Alan, 09/06/2025 07:33, Travelled in a Couple
Great ship (Emanuel), crew, guides (Ivica and Mario), and group of fellow cyclists. We did the ebike option (like almost everyone else) and it made the whole trip a enjoyable experience. Seeing the islands at a slower pace, stopping for swims and hearing the island history was great. Would recommend to all.
