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 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.

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!
- Edgar , 13/05/2025 13:09, Travelled Solo
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
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!
- Darren, 12/05/2025 14:32, Travelled in a Couple
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 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.
- Glen, 07/05/2025 18:55, Travelled in a Couple
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. The captain and his crew were always helpful and accommodating. The chef's dishes were always tasty. I will Sail Croatia and cycle again!

- Ray, 07/05/2025 13:22, Travelled in a Couple
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 😁
- Bob, 06/05/2025 15:53, Travelled in a Couple
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
- Stephen , 06/05/2025 06:32, Travelled with Family
I travelled solo, on the Emanuel boat on the Cycling cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Cycling was a great way to see the different islands of Croatia. The guides (Ana and Josko) knew the area really well, and organised a fun ride on each island with beautiful views. The e-bike allowed me to sweat or relax as much as I wanted. There were 3 people who got a regular bike (no e-assist) but they were pretty serious cyclists. I'd recommend an e-bike unless you want a difficult bike ride on your holiday. I appreciated the daily stops for swimming off the boat too! I really enjoyed the schedule of breakfast and lunch on the boat - With a 2-3 hour cycle in between. And then you get your own free time to explore an island after lunch. Great way to explore, relax, eat local, and experience each island. As a solo traveler, I paid a 50% extra to have my own room. It's worth it for me, but to each their own. I'd highly recommend this cruise, and hope I get to go again soon!!
- Andrew, 05/05/2025 12:34, Travelled Solo
The guides Marte and Lola brought Croatia to life for us. They had love and enthusiasm in showing us the history and beauty of their home. There was a genuine feeling of exploration and excitement within our group. The crew on board the Salve di Mare were so welcoming as well, whilst they worked so hard at their jobs.

Although there we only 7 guests on the cruise, nothing was reduced by the crew or the services provided, they we always available and attentive. Very professional but always friendly. The tour guide, Dino, made the journey interesting but also entertaining with his stories and history of all things Croatian. His rapport with our small group turned the trip from great to unforgettably amazing. He built a connection among the group which has created what will undoubtedly be some life long friendships. Our next cruise we will looking for the Olimp and insist on Dino!

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.

Sail Croatia did everything possible to make our 7 day wine cruise an unforgettable experience! The boat, Queen Jelena, was beautiful as well as comfortable. And the crew was exceptional from the captain to the cooks to the hospitality staff. The tour director, Ivan, was fabulous! He was well-organized, thorough, kind and had a great sense of humor. He kept us well-informed about the day's plans and previewed up-coming excursions. We enjoyed the daily swims, and the on-shore activities were worthwhile, well selected, and we had plenty of time to enjoy them. The food was exceptional: delicious, superbly presented and served promptly. We don't see how the cooks managed to get such great meals out of a small galley. Everything about the cruise was excellent! We were lucky with the weather and our congenial group of shipmates. We recommend Sail Croatia without reservation, and the wine cruise adds an interesting dimension to the tour if you are interested in wine.

We had a wonderful time thanks to the staff and the beautiful people of Croatia! Ivan was a fantastic host and went out of his way to ensure that every guest was taken care of. Pamela, our server/bartender, was kind, courteous, and friendly. Our cabin was spacious, comfortable, clean, and bath was larger than expected. The other guests onboard were exceptionally friendly and a joy to be around. The experiences at various wine venues were so memorable. We are still enjoying reminiscing and chuckling about our trip. Do not hesitate to book an Elegance Wine Tour, it was so much fun!
- Tony, 02/11/2024 22:30, Travelled in a Couple

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!

I have done a lot of travelling. This is one of the best trips I have ever been on. The boat, staff, food and staff were excellent. The key to the trip was Ivan and Lucy as group leaders. They did an excellent job and worked together very well. It was obvious that they had spent considerable time the previous evening organizing events for the following day. They were always very upbeat and made a point of socializing with us during. Ivan was a great bike leader. He ensured our rides were as safe as possible. He was very helpful when people had trouble with their bikes. He was a good first aider when there were minor injuries (the accidents were not his fault). He organized a special trip at the request of one of our group. Lucy did a very good job with presentations during our various rides. She also ensured that everything was done safely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with intermediate biking skills, as long as the group leaders were Ivan and Lucy.

We had a wonderful time on our Elegance Cruise. We've only been on one cruise before and that was a huge ship; it was so impersonal. With Sail Croatia, there were just 18 cabins, it was so much more intimate and we made new friends from around the world. The captain, crew and our cruise director Ioana couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The Croatian coastline and islands are spectacular; we saw architecture and history we never knew existed; and the people were a joy. We highly recommend you do the same if you get the chance.

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
My first experience on a yacht/small cruise ship. All of the crew aboard the Olimp were fabulous in their efforts to make our cruise enjoyable. It was obvious that all of the crew take pride in their work and they were all excellent in executing their duties. Our Sail Croatia host, Ioanna, was also fabulous. She kept us informed and fostered camaraderie amongst all of the guests. She was exceptional at that! Ioanna also planned some excellent walking tours of Croatia which included visits to historic sites, national parks, family farms, beaches, jeep tours and restaurants. The food on the yacht was great! Great chef! Great Captain! Thank you for the several swim stops at beautiful, remote locations. That was something that one rarely gets to do. All in all, a great vacation and I highly recommend a cruise on the Olimp!
