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!!

We had an amazing week onboard Olimp cruising from Split to Dubrovnik. Our thanks to the entire crew who were wonderful and help make this a cruise to remember!!

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.

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.

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!

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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
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!

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!!

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!

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
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
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.

Everyone in our group of eight had a fantastic holiday. Miranda & Natasha, our guides were so friendly & enthusiastic, always with a smile on their faces. The cycle routes were great too & the electric bikes meant the Croatian hills were easily dealt with. Princess Diana, our ship, was brilliant always kept immaculately clean & tidy by the captain & crew. The food was lovely & varied, always fresh ingredients & there was plenty of it! All in all a great holiday with nothing to fault.

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.

Sail Croatia provided an incredible experience for a friend's bachelor trip. Starting with the airport pick up and drop off service, the entire week went flawlessly. Our ship captain Ante knew the beautiful hidden lagoons for swimming and the right bays to dock for some of the best and freshest food in Croatia. He also had many recommendations for when we were docked in one of Croatia's beautiful island cities, and even gave recommendations for the mainland where some of us were continuing the trip post-yacht. With it being a boys trip, the sleeping arrangements of the yacht were pretty tight, but we made it work. Highly recommend upsizing the yacht if youre approaching the max number of occupants. The customer service, knowledgeable ship captain, and wonderful Croatian Adratic Sea and many islands made this experience a 10/10, and we'd highly recommend it to others as the best way to see beautiful 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!

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

We did the Elegance Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik cruise on Esperanza and had a fantastic time. Dino, our tour guide, was super professional, friendly, and communicative with the entire group and really made our trip memorable. He answered all our questions, gave excellent recommendations for dining & sightseeing, and managed the details of our transportation back to the airport flawlessly. Ivo and Mio also deserve special mention from the crew since they were particularly attentive and friendly throughout the cruise and helped those of us wanting to learn some Serbo-Croatian with patience and humor. Captain Jure was a total professional and clearly a skilled seaman as he guided us through some heavy seas on our return to Dubrovnik. Overall a fantastic visit to some of Croatia’s most beautiful spots with a wonderful ship & crew.

The boat was very well maintained and was pleased with the value. Marcos and Nika were amazing at spoiling us all week: while we wish the weather was a bit warmer we still really enjoyed all the stops that Marcos (captain) guided us to. He we very professional and we always felt in good hands. Nika did a great job keeping us all fed and the boat clean. Both were part of the group by the end of the week. Highly recommend Sail Croatia and Specifically Marcos and Nika

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

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!

This was by far the best vacation I have ever taken. We were on the MS Almissa with our amazing crew (Marin, Caesar, and Kafka) for 7 days and they could not have made the experience any better. By the end of the trip we had made so many new friends, including the crew. The destinations were amazing and Marin, our tour manager, gave us so many great recommendations in each stop. We spend most nights out on the town, but the post-dinner hang outs on the boat with new friends are some of the most memorable of the whole trip. Happy to be leaving the trip with new friends (including our amazing crew).
