Greatest way to see Croatia

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.

Terrific Tempera

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.

First voyage on the Contessa!

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!!

Great cruise!

The cruise on the Olimp was fantastic. All the crew performed magnificently. The food was superb and getting to know the fellow passengers was lots of fun. I would recommend this cruise for a great holiday.

Olimp….BRILLIANT!!!

Perfect from start to finish. Olimp is a beautiful and well maintained ship. The crew, from the Captain down were superb and looked after all our needs, always smiling and so helpful. Food, breakfast and lunch was excellent. The planning of each day and all the tours made for a busy but most enjoyable experience. Thoroughly recommended and we will be going again next year.

Dazzling scenery, gourmet meals, compatible travelers

Cruise Director Dino is a national treasure. If ever I am playing "Croatia Trivia" I want Dino at my side. No question was too difficult or obscure. The food on board was great, especially from such a small galley. The opportunity to dine on shore at a restaurant of our choice was great for tasting Croatia cuisine and meeting locals. We discovered some grape varietals on the wine list we were not familiar with. The Captains Dinner was a blast!

Magical Olimp

We had a wonderful seven days aboard the Olimp sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. The captain, crew and Sail Croatia representative ensured that it was a life long memory.

Amazing week with Sail Croatia

A wonderful, relaxing holiday, with an amazing host, (Dino) and great crew. The experience was high quality, from the cabin, bathroom size and hot water, through to food, wines, swim stops, island locations and excursions. First Class and would do again !

- Gerhard, 26/05/2026 05:07, Travelled with Family

It doesn’t get any better!

I chose Sail Croatia for the first week of our 4 week tour of Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro because the beautiful ships of the Sail Croatia fleet are both stunning and luxurious. Once onboard for the Romantic Star wine cruise I realized what a good decision I made. Immaculate is the word that comes to mind. Comfortable beds with soft duvets and ample pillows in spacious staterooms. Slept like a baby every night waking refreshed and ready for the wonderful excursions (wine tastings!) planned by the Sail Croatia crew. Cruising the coastal islands of Croatia for a week really sets the scene for a luxurious blend of Croatian cuisine, wines and culture. Can’t say enough about our tour manager Klara who was onboard with us 24/7 and catered to our every need, questions and requests.

Amazing voyage through Croatian islands

My wife and I had the most amazing week cruising on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik. The sites, the crew, the boat, the food and our fellow travellers were wonderful. Truly a week to remember

- Jim, 26/05/2026 03:39, Travelled in a Couple

Outstanding Trip!

What an awesome experience on board with the renovated Contessa. The crew was outstanding and great food as well. Would definitely use Sail Croatia again.

- Steve, 26/05/2026 02:01, Travelled with Family

Lovely active week led by friendly knowledgeable locals

This was our second time island hopping and cycling with Sail Croatia. We had a wonderful time. The accomodations was super and we were well looked after by the boat crew and our tour guides Sasa and Ivica. Sasa and Ivica were very friendly and personable, We were comprehensively briefed each morning about the upcoming ride and any social arrangements. The rides were a good mix of easy rides with only a few challenging rides. Well done again. We are thinking of booking our third trip.

Leaving the beach holiday behind.

Having struggled over the last few years with what works for us as a holiday, my wife and I have bounced between exotic destinations and luxury beach holidays. We’ve found that neither are particularly fulfilling and, although we’ve always enjoyed ourselves, we feel that our experience has been lacking. We thought that we would leave our comfort zone by trying an activity holiday with a group of complete strangers. Having just finished a cruise with Sail Croatia, I can honestly say that, certainly for us, I feel that we’ve found what was missing. A holiday which was centred around our activity level but challenged us to push ourselves further. An experience which allowed us to form friendships with travellers from all over the world. A well led and curated cultural introduction, facilitated by guides (Marin & Olja) who love their country and job, while supporting their guests to bond, experience and enjoy their holiday. We would definitely recommend this holiday, company and guides.

- Ross, 25/05/2026 15:59, Travelled with Family

Amazing adventure!

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!

Five Stars for Sail Croatia

We expected to have a great time and our experience blew that away!! From the time we stepped on the yacht right through the last day we were treated to perfection. Each member of the 8 person crew worked hard to make this happen. In addition our Sail Croatia representative Vicko kept us informed on everything. From things to do, things to see, experiences not to miss, places to eat, night life, and history of Croatia. We felt like we knew each island before we even step foot on land. We highly recommend seeing Croatia on board Sail Croatia!!

- Steve & Lynn, 25/05/2026 13:09, Travelled with Family

Great experience on board and on land

Mario and Matilda were amazing. They were personable and patient and they were attuned to our needs as hikers. The food was delicious and the Chef was delightful. We are vegetarians/pescatarian eaters and he was so very accommodating and creative. The hikes were lovely and challenged us but provided the most unbelievable vistas of Croatia. The ship, Mali Ante, was clean and stable due to the Captain's skill at maneuvering the ship. Special mention to Ivan in the dining hall. He was always pleasing and cheerful and his service was impeccable. Croatia is a beautiful country made more so by the staff of Sail Croatia. Thanks!

Great time

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

Unforgettably Great

The Adriatic islands are now my favorite area - they have it all. The cruise/biking experience was icing on a marvelous cake. Lauren, Andro and crew took good care of the 17 of us with humor, insights and kindness. It’s obvious that the company has figured things out so itinerary can be adjusted as necessary. Wi-Fi worked great, a “WhatsApp” site, good food, fine accommodations. I’d note only that e-bikes should be considered essential due to the distances and grades - all but 2 in our group had them and were VERY grateful.

- Thomas, 25/05/2026 10:16, Travelled with Family

Awesome cruise

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.

Cash and Passport

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.

Thank you for your feedback and for joining us - we’re really glad to hear you had a fantastic time onboard and enjoyed the route, crew, and food. The €40 local payment per person is payable onboard all Sail Croatia cruises. This fee covers port charges and tourist taxes throughout the week. We do communicate this in advance via our FAQs, your Online Account, all payment receipts that are emailed to you, and pre-departure information, but we appreciate your feedback. Thank you also for your comments regarding tipping and passport storage - we value this insight and will pass it on to our operations team for review.

Excellent experience

It was a top experience and a great value. Accommodations were good, food was fantastic. Most of all the staff was first rate and really worked hard to accommodate guests needs. Good balance of easy and more challenging hikes, lots of free time, and swimming opportunities. Loved it. Would recommend to anyone who likes to see lots and keep moving.

A walk in the sun

One of the best holidays I've had. Great location, super ship, wonderful crew and guides whose organisational skills made sure everything was very smooth. The ample and excellent food complimented the week. The best compliment is to say I'd love to do it all again.

Fantastic May trip to Croatia

Our trip through the Croatia islands with Calum aboard Tempura was fun and educational. The trip was from Split to Dubrovnik visiting wonderful islands along the way. The crew was extremely hardworking and helpful. Our guide and leader for the week was Calum. If you are fortunate enough to have him as you cruise leader, know that you will have an amazing holiday. He was very knowledgeable about each stop as well as the history of each island/town we stopped in. He planned trips, dinners and events every day making the trip extra special for my wife and I!

Fun times hiking and swimming the Dalmatian cosst

Wonderfully relaxing trip. Lots of things to see and explore. Easy to be as active as you want

- Larry, 20/05/2026 07:40, Travelled with Family

Holiday

It was a really good holiday. Mario and Matilda were excellent guides the crew the Cook and the Captain were really helpful and really good people. People the only fault I could find was most boats I’ve been on have free tea, coffee available and afternoon snacks the places us we visited and the hiking that we went on we made all the easier by the crew and the tour guides we both really enjoyed it. The tip situation where we were supposed to have a blank envelope so it was at Unknown what cabin the tips came from did not happen the envelope had everyone’s room number on and name. I really feel like this needs clarifying from yourselves as you have already said the staff are well paid and tipping is optional and the amounts that were suggested from yourselves for per person I believe for far too high and I believe no amount should be suggested i.e. top end or bottom end for tips as this is down to the individual of what they can afford without feeling pressurised this tainted the holida

A wonderful trip making memories with new friends

I travelled as a solo passenger but needn't have worried. From the offset it was the friendliest group of passengers, staff and crew i have ever met. The 2 Sail Croatia leaders, josko and Lauren , were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble, managing to change my picky carnivorous diet to a vegetarian one after 2 days. It was exactly the same with the crew of our boat, the "Dionis"- a very comfortable and ideally sized boat for the holiday- bigger boats around seemed too big and cold compared to the smaller boats. The excursions and cycle routes were absolutely ideal. Most of our 15 passengers opted for the E-bikes but 4 of us had the normal calf powered versions, which didn’t detract from the enjoyment. We had the chance to have a swim stop most days and after a chilly 10 minutes swim, the scorching onboard showers were a very pleasurable welcome experience. This was my first time as a solo traveller on a group trip but i now see it as the only way forward in future

First Cruise - Best Cruise

Hi Team! The holidays were incredible! Loved it from the first day till the last. Very nice crew, always open for questions, ready to help and present to laugh and have a good time while staying professional. Marin was a great host/guide/friend helping organizing everything and making sure we were enjoying ourselved as much as possible. A big thank you to everyone who made these fabulous holidays possible! I will 100% recommend this!

- Edouard, 18/05/2026 19:53, Travelled Solo

The highlight of our European Holiday

We joined the crew of the Princezza Diana in beautiful Split, Croatia and over the next 7 days, made our way to Dubrovnik. Our amazing hosts and guides, Tonka and Elena, assisted by the ship's Captain and crew, made our journey memorable in a very positive way. We saw spectacular scenery and did some challenging and fun rides each day. Tonka and Elena made sure everyone was safe and that we learned about what we were seeing. The bicycles provided were high-quality and in great condition. Flyer was the brand of the e-bikes we used. We met some wonderful people from all over the world on our trip, It's a vacation experience I suspect we will do again. A word of caution: Unless you're an avid (perhaps even hardcore) cyclist, plan on renting the e-bikes. The hills you will climb are both long and steep - but beautiful!

Happy hikers

We had a wonderful time Mata and Sasa were great guides and made the hikes a great experience We loved the quality of the boat a lovely very clean cabin and lovely food every day The whole team gave us a wonderful holiday many thanks to everyone

Great time. Crew was awsome and very helpful. Maybe the ship could use more swimming floats and serve more traditional Croation food for lunch.

- Alan, 18/05/2026 10:28, Travelled with Family

This trip was everything I could hope for. From our guides Mario and Matilda to the crew of the Mali Ante. Everything we did was a blast. Tons of hikes and crazy weather and lenty of swim stops.

Perfect sail and bike trip of Croatian Islands

This was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. The boat was beautiful, the others travellers were great, the biking and scenery was spectacular and the guides and crew made every effort to make sure everything was excellent. Ivica was an excellent tour guide and made sure that we were all together and had exciting, enjoyable and safe bike rides. Ana made sure that no one was left behind and provided excellent information on the places we visited along with a few myths, legends and ghost stories😀. Ana and Dan (sp) were excellent bartenders and servers and made sure we stayed hydrated and were well fed. The food was excellent and we were served some traditional croatian food that was better than we had in restaurants on shore after our trip. My compliments to the chef!! We would definitely recommend this trip. Once you have tried a small boat experience you will not want to go back to the big cruise lines

- Keith, 18/05/2026 07:46, Travelled in a Couple

Great Sailing and Hiking Holiday

Myself, my wife and 9 friends had an absolutely brilliant week, sailing around Croatia on a perfectly sized boat (30 passengers). The accommodation was great, the food delicious and the amount of hiking spot on. Some hikes were challenging some were easy but it was a great balance. The guides were friendly, informative and looked after us just right. I highly recommend the trip to active folks who want to see the sun, sea and Croatia.

- Anthony, 18/05/2026 07:08, Travelled with Family

Great Trio

Staff on the ship was excellent. But what really made the trip special was Tonja and Eliana. Your lucky to have them as your guides.

- wally, 18/05/2026 05:40, Travelled with Family

Amazing experience

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.

- Josh, 18/05/2026 04:42, Travelled in a Couple

Exceeded Expectations

We were not 100 percent confident that we would be fit enough or enjoy the experience but we absolutely enjoyed the trip. The tour guides, 2 of them, treated us like family and protected on the roads. The boat, Emanuel, with their captain and crew were a well tuned group. The food on board was excellent! The ebike made the fitness level almost irrelevant, as we watched our 72 year old female group mate keep up with the front guide.

Best Honeymoon

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!

Awesome to be in Croatia 🇭🇷

My wife and I had a fantastic time traveling from Dubrovnik to Split ! Everyone on the crew were amazing! Lola, are cruise director was very attentive and friendly and she went out of her way to help us in any way ! Pamela and Lucy were both very helpful especially serving us cocktails! The one thing I wish was that the A/C was room controlled ... most of our cruise the captain controlled the air. Overall, highly recommend our trip to everyone ! The time flew by so fast !

The Adriatic from the sea

The fellow passengers were an absolute treat to spend a week with The coordinator Vedran was the best you could have and the crew looked after everyone like we were the only ones on board A must do if you every come to Croatia

- William , 12/05/2026 13:56, Travelled in a Couple

I expected a LOT and it delivered so much more.

I so many things made this Cruise incredible. Let me start with the tour director Dino who is a constant source of energy, smiles, good humour and professionalism. The rest of the crew were very thorough, friendly and expert in their different fields. The captain "Gorgeous" George is truly a Master Mariner and no surprise that he comes from generations of seafarers. The food was outstanding. Drink selection was okay and locations that we visited were excellent and the daily highlight was the swim stops. I thoroughly recommend the "Olimp" vessel cruise through Sail Croatia to anybody looking for a 7 day five-star Croatian cruise experience.

- Peter, 12/05/2026 08:41, Travelled in a Couple

What a great trip!!

Had a great trip…the guide staff were experienced and knowledgeable…always ready to help, lead, inform, suggest alternatives and more. The boat’s crew including the captain, the sailors, the cook and the other staff provided a smooth boating experience and wonderful meals. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. Convinced us it’ll soon be time to buy an “e” bike at home.” We have no reservations in recommending Sail Croatia!

Big shout out to Dino (Tour Rep) and the entire crew fr making the week so enjoyable. Dino couldn’t do enough for us and was always on hand to help us out no matter what the ask. The quality of the boat and the crew especially the Dining room and bar team, such an efficient and friendly service. Would definitely recommend this as a great way to spend a week in Croatia.

We had wonderful time cruising from Island to Island on the Mali Luka and enjoyed the cycling excursions led by Ivica and Sasha.
