A great week

We loved our weeklong cruise from SPLIT to DUBROVNIK on ESPERANZA. Everything about it was simply wonderful. The staff and crew were amazing, the chef and food delicious, the swim locations and ports were wonderful. Two suggestions: get better and stronger coffee without asking for extra payments—everyone on board was very unhappy with the quality. Also….hooks in the bedroom sections of the cabins for a quick hang up of clothes rather than the wardrobe. Bathrooms had hooks but the main section of the cabins could use them as well. .

Bliss

We couldn't have enjoyed the Sail Croatia cruise more. The planning and food were exquisite. The swim stops in post card settings and quaint villages to stroll through everyday were a delight. Plus the way the group gelled together I believe helped with the enjoyment of the cruise. Already thinking about the next.

Great Crew, Accommodation, Hospitality and Excursions

From boarding to disembarking a week later, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful service, good food and attention delivered by the crew on the Katrina. The itinerary was great offering a relaxing week with daily swim stops (with paddle boards and kayaking) and afternoon / evening excursions. Just a great trip and I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again.

Love Croatia

Excellent holiday and meet some great people from around the world . Cruise manager was excellent with great communication regarding when and what was happening. The girl that cleaned my cabin was outstanding as well,and pleasant to talk with and always smiling. The remainder of the crew were less so . They failed to acknowledge you most times and were not interactive at all. We would have spent more money on bar if the staff had been better trained in the hospitality industry. .

16.08.26 Katarina

Outstanding vacation, a lovely boat, amazing crew and fabulous guests to share our time and yes Nikos was great too. I would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia, my wife and I felt sad to be leaving, but have new friends and lovely memories.

Amazing experience and service.

The vessel, the staff, the food and the swim stops were absolutely amazing. This is a must do experience if you are visiting Croatia. Highly recommend. 5 stars all round.

Kararina-The Best Boat on the Water!

Excellent time! Vedran is great tour leader! This boat is Family owned and immaculate! All staff are family and they care deeply about the boat and assuring guests have a great time. The only reason I gave this a 4-star rating is that the air conditioning in the cabins just could not keep up with the boiling outside temperature. Most everyone had issues with the air conditioning. Also, in my opinion, the lighting in the bathrooms is not sufficient. PRO Tip 1: Evidently the cabins below deck stay cooler than those above deck PRO Tip 2: Bring clothing that is quick drying and can be washed in the sink or shower. There are ship bars outside the cabins on the upper deck where you can hang them to dry. Clothes pins are provided. PRO Tip 3: Do not bring anything fancy, cool light weight fabrics are best. PRO Tip 4: A portable travel fan will come in handy. PRO Tip 5: Buy Euro at first island stop for less than getting it at home if not your currency.

Chasing sunsets and morning swims

We had the best experience n memories from this cruise ! It’s the first time we have ever done a small cruise like this ! It’s the prefect way to learn more about Croatia ! We loved the fact that we docked in a new town/ island every night where we can discover or do an activity during the day and find a place for dinner ! breakfasts are provided And a 3 course lunch ! The meals were all very nicely Presented and always hot ! In this cruise we also had a very fun captains dinner and a village dinner ! We loved the lamb pekka - still dreaming of how tasty it was ! Our cabin was very comfortable as we were very lucky to get the one in front and we had ample room and very comfortable! 1 thing that can be improved is to put an electrical fan in the cabin as the air con was not strong enough ! kudos must be given to the cleanliness of the Katarina boat ! crew is constantly cleaning and I have not seen a cleaner boat .. and finally the crew ! Thank you to captain Ivan, Goran, Ivana n Nikos

Great trip

Had a great time ,only 20 guests on boat so was intermit made friends with everyone quickly, loved the fabulous old towns and the secluded swim spots the captain found for us , would highly recommend sail Croatia (I’d possibly do it again)

Amazing Trip

I can honestly say that my experience aboard the Katarina of Sail Croatia was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was beautifully organized, relaxed, and welcoming. The cruise was a fantastic way to discover the Croatian coast, with its breathtaking islands, crystal-clear waters, charming towns, and unforgettable swimming stops. Every day brought something new, while the atmosphere on board made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. A special thank you to the wonderful crew, who were attentive, professional, warm, and always ready to help. Their hospitality truly made the trip memorable. The food, service, organization, and overall standard were excellent. What I will remember most, however, are the people we met, the laughter, the beautiful moments, and the incredible memories we created along the way. The Katarina of Sail Croatia cruise was a truly a special experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

Loved our 7 day cruise

Amazing 7 days from Split to Dubrovnik.. great combination of locations … terrific onboard experience, from the crew, food & beverage and boat. A major highlight was the swim stops.. our week was a true relaxing and slow travel journey 🙏🏻

Split to Dubrovnik

We had an amazing time on the romantic star, and Lola was outstanding, informative, and helpful as our guide throughout the entire trip. The crew and the captain were very professional and assisted us in every way possible. The chef made some incredible lunches and breakfast was good as well. We definitely will return and the friends we made on the trip will last a lifetime.

Great first cruise experience

This was my first-ever cruise and the experience was fantastic! Although we went with a few other couples, we also became friends with almost everyone else on the boat and, along with the excellent crew, it really felt like family. I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone,

Outstanding Trip!

Superb

Highly recommend Sail Croatia. The people made the experience what it was; all of the crew and cruise director are superb! The crew was attentive, incredibly friendly, and remembered the small details that made interactions extra special. Our cruise director, Vedran, is wonderful. He’s knowledgeable, communicative, always one step ahead. His daily briefings were a welcome start to the day. The ship is family-owned and they take immense pride and care in the upkeep. They are present throughout the journey and even welcomes a few of us into the wheelhouse to talk to us about navigating the ship. Overall, a wonderful experience and I will definitely travel with Sail Croatia again.

Unique and intimate way to see Croatia

Our trip was beautiful in near every way. The crew were especially attentive, flexible, experienced and friendly. Our tour manager Vedran was key to our experience. He was the perfect balance of friendliness, professionalism and competence. The boat was comfortable and well appointed (although the WiFi was challenging outside the salon). The food was good with much variety available although if cuisine is your top priority it was good, not great. Our smaller ship allowed us to visit smaller ports not overrun with 1000s from large vessels. The itinerary introduced us to different experiences at each port, from a small fishing village to the glitzy riviera. A daily briefing allowed us to learn about each port and guided us to see the unique offerings and “must sees.” I was skeptical about the claim we’d have many new friends…. I was wrong, it’s 100% true. We enjoyed this so much we may very well do it again…. And we never do that. If you are on the fence, take this trip. Really.

AWESOME!

Best vacation ever! “V” and the rest of the staff were top notch! You must DO IT!

- Brad, 28/07/2026 23:09, Travelled in a Couple

Great tour but could be improved

Dino was a very good tour leader, esp. nominating specific restaurants to eat evening meals at on each island we frequented. The crew were attentive, the cabin cleaning staff were top notch. Swim stops were great. Food was good but there seemed to be an extensive use of puréed vegetables! Music played non stop inside the boat even if no one was there? Still, a good experience.

Excelent cruise with the room to be exceptionaly best!

The cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on the Romantic Star yacht was wonderful. To take things step by step: a beautiful yacht, a comfortable and cozy cabin, and impeccable cleanliness and order maintained on board. Dino, the tour manager, was exceptionally caring—always ready to help, explain, and go above and beyond for the guests' well-being. The entire crew worked efficiently, seamlessly, and unobtrusively. Everything was simply great. However, it could have reached an even higher standard if not for the food on board. There is definitely room for improvement here. Can what is shown in the photo really be called a salad? Also, given the high price of such a short cruise, the company wouldn't go broke providing a bottle of drinking water in the guests' cabins every day. To repeat, everything was five-star, but it could be truly unforgettable with better food quality and a few extra small touches.

Best part of our European holiday

The Croatian cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was the highlight of our recent European holiday. The cruise was a great way to explore the Croatian islands, taste the local cuisine, and share the experience with like-minded travelers. The boat and crew were amazing throughout. Highly recommended!

Excellent Cruise!

This was an excellent cruise. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, the daily swims from the boat, the breakfasts and the superb help and guidance in any and all matters from our assigned guide, Dino, The Queen Jelena is an excellent boat. Our only suggestions for improvement would be better ventilation in the bathrooms and the availability of simple laundry service while on board.

Excellent week cruising the Adriatic with Sail Croatia

Our week aboard the Olimp was truly wonderful and one we’ll remember for a long time. With just 14 guests, everyone quickly got to know each other, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We shared lots of laughs, enjoyed beautiful weather, and loved the fantastic swimming stops in crystal-clear waters. The crew was exceptional throughout. A special thank you to Lola, our Tour Manager, for being so helpful, friendly, and informative. Linda and Ally always served us with a smile, while Nikolina looked after our cabin brilliantly. The food was excellent, so thanks to the chef and sous-chef. Captain Yure (George) navigated us safely and professionally, and the hardworking crew behind the scenes kept everything running smoothly. Their dedication made our cruise unforgettable. Thank you to the entire Olimp team. Croatia’s stunning coastline is truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to return.

A Perfect Holiday

We were sailing on Olimp - what a gorgeous, luxurious ship. Everything was amazing-the cabins, the food, the crew. It was a fabulous way to see the islands, and as there were only 14 of us on the boat, we had made some great friends. And Linda deserves a special mention as she makes the best Aperol Spritz! We were thoroughly spoilt for the whole week.

The ultimate in relaxation and tour

The Split to Dubrovnik experience was one of the best trips I have ever taken. The yacht was exceptional and the group size was perfect. The days were well spent with swim stops and then a new island each day, it couldn’t have been more relaxed and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

First Class Cruise

Fabulous cruise on a first class boat. The crew were exceptional. The swim stops were a definite highlight. Would suggest the lunches be a little less formal and heavy and perhaps outside on deck. We also enjoyed meeting a lovely group of people to enjoy the journey with.

Cruise Katarina

We started and finished our cruise in Split. This was our second time with Sail Croatia and as our previous cruise the whole experience was absolutely superb, Lead by their Captain every member of the crew work so hard to make your trip memorable. The ship is spotlessly clean, food is excellent and every day you have wonderful friendly service. The swim stops and sites are so well selected. The week was orchestrated by our guide Ivan, who kept us so well informed about interests at our destinations and restaurant recommendations. You can’t fail but love your week on Katarina.

Wonderful cruise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sail Croatia cruise on the Esperanza. The ship itself is lovely and very comfortable and we were blessed with perfect weather for the whole week. Meals on board were very good and the cabin staff worked hard to look after us all. A great way to wind down and relax after travelling through Italy and Slovenia for 5 weeks!

Jelena 14 Jun 2026

The holiday was excellent. The boat was splendid, decks and cabins clean and tidy, crew expert and helpful, and food excellent with good variety and not too much local which we could get ashore. The helpful personal human contact from the UK office was much appreciated. Guide Vicko was charming, expert, and very helpful with recommendations and arrangements. He should be a little more aware of those who are less fit and techie; at Mljet to point out that the path had steep steps with dangerously poor surfaces; and in Brac he omitted that the good Navigare restaurant was not 'over there' across the haven, but at the end of it within the boatyard with no notice at the gate but a keep out sign, so we walked a long way looking for it. Some do not have whatsapp: basic arrangements etc could be printed or put on a notice board plus a list of guests and crew to help learn. Many thanks to all.
