Good but could be better

It was good, but they have things to improve, like the air conditioning not working, the cancellation of multiple activities due to the weather, the captain's absence due to "illness" (though he seemed perfectly fine the other days), and having a bartender drunk almost 50% of the time. But the accommodations were very good, the food was very good, and the main day was excellent.

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!

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Great

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

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

Waiting until I'm 66 was worth it.

Nice number of guests. Team leaders/tour mangers absolutely terrific, as well all the crew. Food amazing. Accomodation was very comfortable. Such a memorable trip. A great combination of traveling on a midsize boat, max. 32 guests, we had 17 which made the excursion so much more personable with guests and crew. Weather in first of May was decent. 20ish degrees.

Almissa Split Return Cruise

Our family had a wonderful time on the cruise getting to explore a beautiful country with wonderful people. The crew was excellent in every way. The boat was clean, comfortable, the food and drinks were plentiful, and Dino was a great guide the entire week! I definitely recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a wonderful week long cruise!

Suprise onboard charges

We were advised after we sailed about extra charges above those we paid for the trip, 50.00 per person port taxes and harbor charges. Why were surprised by these because sail Croatia didn’t tell us. Not very nice. To be paid in cash before final disembarking.

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-05-05:

Thank you for your 5-star review - we’re so pleased to hear that you and your group rated your experience so highly. We’re sorry to hear that the local payment came as a surprise. We do make every effort to ensure this cost is clearly communicated to all guests prior to booking. The local payment for Cycle Croatia cruises - currently €50 per person - is outlined in several places, including your online account, payment receipt, FAQs, and pre-departure information. This fee covers port charges and tourist taxes incurred throughout the week and is not a hidden cost. We understand that travel details can sometimes be overlooked, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving how we communicate important information to our guests.

Skipper training

Both of the instructors were really good. We spent more time with Kristian and he explained everything great and it was really fun learning from him.

Princess Dianna

The ship was lovely and cycle guides did a great job looking after us on the rides. ship staff also did a great job with friendliness and efficiency. The ship itself was impressive lovely cabins and great showers. Only critique cabins could be warmer on the cooler says. Heater controls made no difference.

Sail Croatia Last Trip of yr

While we had questionable weather at times, the staff absolutely brought the energy and passion. From Nickola working tirelessly to ensure we had fun day plans to King Reggy behind the bar and the whole crew looking after us, we all felt safe, fed and excited each day. Definitely would do again.

Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful ship

If you can find fault with this holiday you have spent the week looking for it, and even then I doubt you will find it. Everything was perfect from breakfast to evening drinks before bed, each trip out was well organised to get the most out of the experience and with morning swims stops everyday each day just flowed perfectly. We had a small kitchen on board that did breakfast and lunch. Well they called it lunch, but each day was a set menu of three courses and the food that came out of that small kitchen was just amazing and all made fresh on board, very talented people in that kitchen first class. Would I recommend Sail Croatia for a holiday, yes without a doubt, Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful ship

Mike Afloat

There was great company and lots of fun. Vicko the tour manager was top class and very knowledgeable. Staff excellent. Itinerary very good but too little time in Dubrovnik after staying on the boat for lunch.

- Michael, 07/10/2025 14:21, Travelled Solo

Olja was a star

Olja and the entire crew on kapetan jure made sure the group got along well and had a good time. I was a bit worried about booking this trip coz i was 35 and i thought i will be the only millennial on this trip but the entire group got along well. Olja was phenomenal with her daily briefings, important info about all the places, classy jokes and she has great meme knowledge as well. Sail Croatia should definitely use her for online social media activities coz she can be the face of the company. I work in the travel industry in India and can proudly say she was the perfect trip manager for our trip.

Pleased

It really was a great trip, Marin and Mario were exceptional. They covered all the bases for having a safe and worry, free experience, very professional. Personally, I could’ve used a little bit longer routes to cycle and myself and a few others felt the last cycle stop was a little risky getting on and off the boat. I’m off to extend my journey and vacation, but I think that this part of it’s gonna be the best of everything overall Thanks, John.

Week of a lifetime

I was a solo traveller on tuna boat from 8th-15th of September. Ceili was rep and she was absolutely awesome. Made it a very fun week. Awesome crew on board too, they were all so nice and Marin was the most amazing chef! Topa and Matija were so awesome to be around and also made it the what week. Nikole tue captain was so nice as well and made the journey so safe and nice

Penelopa’s finest

Had a great group on the boat and the best trip manager Nikola who went above and beyond for everyone

Unreal Experience

I throughly enjoyed my time on sail Croatia, as a solo traveler I was a bit nervous first coming on but from the entry Nikola bringing his upbeat energy made me feel very welcome. The chefs were amazing and I felt very lucky to have my peers on the board who I instantly got along with. I truly want to highlight the chef, crew and especially Nikola. He went out of his way the whole trip to make sure everyone felt comfortable and when asked about facts or recommendations he had answers for everything. Above all he was just a good human being along with the crew which goes a very long way. Will definitely recommend the navigator boat I went on.

- Aidan, 24/09/2025 18:50, Travelled Solo

The entire crew on the Columbo was outstanding. Maren and Josip were great tour guides for the week and offering a lot of history to the p[laces we visited.

Split —> Dubrovnik (August)

Overall, the 7-day Sail Croatia Cruise was a really enjoyable trip. The crew did a fantastic job making sure everything was clean and ready on the boat. The food was excellent too. All the activities were well organised and communicated via my host Lara. She would consistently explain the itinerary for the day as well as prepping the activities for the next day. Dinners were often suggested by Lara which was a good show of her local knowledge. As well as having great general knowledge about the history of Croatia. 10/10, I couldn’t have asked for a better host or experience.

Split to Dubrovnik Cycling Cruise

The guides were first-rate. Marin, the cruise director, was conscientious, helpful, and friendly. We always knew what was happening and when. Josip, the cycling guide, kept us safe and made sure we enjoyed the rides. Our group included avid cyclists and people who had biked only rarely. We all had a great experience. The entire crew of the Columbo was efficient, friendly, and hardworking.
