Sail Croatia was hands-down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had – but what truly made it unforgettable was our host, Nouraia, and the phenomenal crew on board. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Nouraia made us feel completely welcome, cared for, and hyped for the week ahead. Her energy was infectious, her organisation flawless, and her ability to bring the whole group together made it feel like one big floating family. The entire crew was next-level amazing – the captain, chef, and deckhands all went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was incredible (seriously, every meal was a highlight), the boat was spotless, and every little detail felt thought-through and intentional. The friendships that we made really stood out. There laughs, the late-night chats, the curated stops, the photos, and just the way everyone genuinely cared about one another. Would love to experience it all again with the same crew! Great stuff!

The boat was immaculate. A credit to the skipper and crew. The guides Mika and Lola were fantastic.

Great tour of several islands and good activities. Not pressured to do anything you don’t want. Would defo recommend the en-suite boat. The captain, chefs and others were very friendly! Jonny and Marin were excellent and very informative and helpful. Had an issue with my foot and they were very understandable and kept checking I was ok. Would defo recommend but maybe come when you are guaranteed good weather as you can get rough seas! Would do again but on a larger boat. Thanks guys!

Everything was near perfection. The Sail Croatia Reps, Mila and Lola were fantastic, knowledgeable, knew how to keep things moving with grace and good does of humor. The Cabin Crew and Deck Crew were super friendly and acted with concern as a was recovering from a bout of food poisoning (not Sail Croatia's or the Emanuel's Fault). Fellow passengers were super friendly and everyone got along well. Suggestions: 1: Cabins are a bit Spartan and could use a design refreshment 2: Make hiking poles available (I could not bring mine due to carry-on luggage rules) 3: Serve lunch after the hikes

Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!
- Mark, 26/05/2025 12:31, Travelled with Family
Marin my tour guide was amazing, he made the whole trip so easy for me, I got to sit back drink and relax while he took care of our every need onboard. He made sure I was informed of everything happening onboard and off, and could answer any question I asked. Johnny the assistant tour guide was just as great they both together made for a great time onboard. Shoutout to Romeo the bartender for his fantastic work as well and to the rest of the crew from the Kapetan Jure they were all lovely and amazing. Kind regards, Jayden

Great crew first and foremost. Run by Elena who was super engaging. At one point she went out of her way to get me onto an activity that I would've otherwise missed, which I really appreciated. The rest of the boat's crew were very professional and seemed to go out of their way to make sure we all had a good time. Lots of food as well and all of it very yummy. Otherwise I thought it was a really great way to see parts of Croatia that I otherwise would have missed or simply not known about, and the opportunity for long swim breaks every day was great. Boat was clean and tidy and highly livable. Couldn't complain about a single thing, just wish it was longer!

Noura was a queen. Really fun trip with a good group.
- Anonymous, 22/05/2025 10:56, Travelled Solo
Everything was well planned and organized; however, our guide and crew used their best discretion to adapt the agenda as conditions warranted. Croatia is breathtakingly gorgeous. Our guide Andro was simply outstanding. The boat was nice, the food was great across the board, and the crew worked so hard to make it fun. And we were blessed with great shipmates for this trip. And did I mention that Croatia is breathtakingly gorgeous?

Great experience meeting a number of people from around the world. Crew did a fantastic job ensuring we were kept safe and answered all of our needs. Well done. Klara our cruise director did an outstanding job keeping us informed and did everything she could to ensure we were taken care of regardless of the time. Highly recommended
- James, 12/05/2025 17:08, Travelled with Family
The staff could not have been more helpful, the guides were knowledgeable and were quick to make changes when the weather demanded it. However charging €40 for a bottle of sparkling wine that retails at £6 is outrageous.
- Colin, 12/05/2025 10:14, Travelled with Family
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!
- Frederick , 07/05/2025 14:52, Travelled Solo
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 ship..The crew The guides..The food..All were amazing..Hikes were fantastic and challenging..Loved every minute of it..Fellow passengers were fantastic..We all had great time. Didn't want it to end. I will be back.
- Kevin , 05/05/2025 02:33, Travelled Solo
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.
- Jim, 28/04/2025 09:55, Travelled with Family
The guide, Anita, was excellent. Charming, efficient and most helpful. It was a joy to have such service. I cannot recommend her too much. The crew were very helpful. Food not so good- too much overcooked meat, just one fish dish in 7 days.. Good bar service. Most enjoyable party after the captain',s dinner- lots of dancing ! I did not engage in excursions, as too strenuous for my age.. Others enjoyed them.. Cabin fine and very efficient and pleasant cleaner.
- Michael, 24/10/2024 13:59, Travelled Solo
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!
- Brian, 22/10/2024 07:36, Travelled with Family
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
Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.
- Brendan, 15/10/2024 19:15, Travelled with Family
Great trip, wonderful scenery, super food, amazing tour guide (Karolina), friendly staff, and helpful sales team (we had to postpone our original trip for a year due to a knee replacement)..
- Peter, 08/10/2024 15:01, Travelled with Family
Great yacht, excellent team, beautiful islands. The ops team were superb - extremely helpful and responsive throughout the booking process, departure and sailing trip. Thank you!
- Daniel, 07/10/2024 08:37, Travelled with Family
From the first day to the last day everything went as planned, the areas we visited were fantastic. The food on board was great and the staff were all very nice and helpful. Would definitely do a cruise with you again.
- Stephen, 05/10/2024 23:50, Travelled with Family
Absolutely one of the best weeks I have had in the duration of my trip! Lozza was an unreal representative, every night she’d have suggestions for where to go to diner and then where to go out afterwards, the group dinners she organised were unreal too, and of course the vibe throughout the whole day. The ship was great, plenty of space in the room given you want to spend most of it on the sun deck, or having Mateo make you a cocktail! Great size ship as well, big enough for everyone to have their own space, but small enough that everyone can still hang out easily. The crews response to poor weather, quickly swapping around what day we attended certain stops to give us more pleasant weather was also great. All in all, a fantastic trip that I 100% would do again!
- Riley, 03/10/2024 05:31, Travelled Solo
Brilliant format. Some exercise, great scenery and hospitality from the Croatians. Good food on-board and in the towns. Lovely friendly and interesting other guests/passengers. Excellent crew and travel guides.
- Alistair, 02/10/2024 16:29, Travelled with Family
Friendly, competent, accommodating Skipper (Tony) and Hostess (Nina) as well as a great yacht made this Croatia coast line sail a wonderful family reunion.
- Jean, 02/10/2024 14:04, Travelled with Family
The product was great as we had excellent service from the staff onboard the boat. We were provided with great information about the areas we visited and given great tips on what activities to do
- Benjamin, 02/10/2024 06:09, Travelled Solo
Sailing Croatia on a catamaran is the best way to experience the beautiful Croatian coast line. Amazing swimming spots, lovely dinners at each island and interesting culture and heritage. Hrvoje (Jack) was a brilliant skipper. His knowledge, friendliness and experience was excellent. The sail Croatia team made the booking of the holiday an easy process with great communication.. I can highly recommend the Sail Croatia team if you are looking to sail the Croatian coast line.
- Edmund, 01/10/2024 15:59, Travelled with Family
Lauren’s ability to party all the way hard, organise fun day to the maximum and her amazing mind body soul made all of my days completely awesome to me. Beers could’ve been cheaper though.
- Brennan, 01/10/2024 08:56, Travelled Solo
Excellent week from Lauren and Mlini crew
- Miles, 01/10/2024 05:43, Travelled Solo
Had an absolutely fantastic time sailing on the Kapetan Jure ship in late September. Weather was perfect for most of the week, food was delicious, and Marin and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everybody felt safe and included! Cannot recommend highly enough!
- Matt, 30/09/2024 20:29, Travelled Solo
The Sail Croatia Team and boat crew were superb from beginning to end. Hiking was challenging and rewarding with spectacular views. Meals are home cooked and delicious. The island ports are charming. We had a captain's dinner one night, a pizza night, lots of swimming, etc. It is a n active trip. But what made this cruise so special was making friends with the other travelers. As one person said, " It's the people. It's the people. It's the people! I have traveled a lot and this would rank as one of the best. Do it!
- Brent, 30/09/2024 06:01, Travelled Solo

I had a great time on the Pacific. Toma our manager and crew were the best. Everyone was positive and always happy to help. We had a great time in all the cities, swim stops were all beautiful. Big shout out to the crew, they were great!!!
- Adrian Kotevski, 27/09/2024 07:43, Travelled Solo
All round a great week with an amazing crew, felt extremely safe at all times, food on board was more than fine, bar staff were friendly, boat was always kept clean and our guide Marin was the best tour guide I’ve had across multiple other similar trips, a true legend. All round a great experience.
- Liam, 25/09/2024 20:14, Travelled Solo
The 2 guys seeing us on the boat were really professional. Gave us time, answered questions and were extremely welcoming and friendly.
- Bob, 24/09/2024 09:23, Travelled with Family
Sail Croatia were fantastic to deal with. Despite some mechanical problems with our boat identified before our charter commenced, they supplied us with a newer alternative boat and offered appropriate compensation. Tvetsan and his team could not have been more helpful in ensuring we were safe, happy and had a great time.
- John, 24/09/2024 08:20, Travelled with Family
The staff were excellent, with special mention of Klara and Branco who made the cruise extra special. Klara's knowledge of the islands and history were shared to us with passion and humor and was received extremely well by the guests. The arranging of excursions was flawless and we always knew the times and booking details well in advance. Branco made sure that we were served plenty of food on board and his bar manner was second to none. The islands themselves shared their different characters, all of which were enjoyed by all. We would definitely do this again as we thoroughly enjoyed our first ever cruise provided by Sail Croatia.
- Daryl, 24/09/2024 07:24, Travelled with Family
Saša was the best guide for our group! He made a massive effort to get to know everyone on board and made sure everyone felt included. His energy and sense of humour was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire group, I couldn’t imagine doing Sail Croatia with anyone else!
- Caleb, 23/09/2024 23:18, Travelled Solo
The ship (Salve di Mare) was so comfortable and very well maintained. The crew were professional, friendly and fun. The meals were exceptionally well prepared and presented. Our Sail Croatia tour representative, Vicko, was so knowledgeable and helpful. This cruise was absolutely the right choice for seeing the Dalmation coast and I highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Kevin, 23/09/2024 21:41, Travelled with Family
Saša, Dino, and the entire Crew of the Pacific were the absolute best every day. They made the trip such a seamless pleasure. I couldn't have asked for a better week in Croatia. This was my second time on Sail Croatia, and they topped my expectations by far. Big thanks to the chefs. The food was delicious, and that's coming from a chef myself. Cheers, Sam 🤠
- Sam, 23/09/2024 06:59, Travelled with Family
With Sail Croatia it is really for those aged between 18-28. Anyone above 30 and you feel a little out of place. These days everyone is traveling in groups of 2-6. Gone of the days of solo travellers from my recent sail where there was only 4 of us solo travellers. It does make it a little harder to meet people but I guess at the end of the day it really is a luck of the draw. It definitely is a good experience. Just prepare to be oboard with a bucket load of aussies haha
- dan, 19/09/2024 23:05, Travelled Solo
My Sail Croatia trip was great. My trip manager Marin did an incredible job, he was efficient, organised, helpful and caring. He made sure we were all looked after and always had everything sorted so we never had to figure anything out on our own. We were given great suggestions for each place and I felt he personally got to know us all individually which meant a lot. An experience I really appreciated was when I wanted to go home early from a night out and Marin personally went with me and helped me get home, it meant so much to me. The trip itself was great and the team accommodated us with the changing weather well and always had our best interest in mind. Thanks so much for all the hard work!
- Heather, 19/09/2024 03:39, Travelled Solo
Our vacation experience with Sail Croatia was excellent and memorable. Having cruised in Europe, Caribbean and Alaska on much larger ships we were looking for a new cruise experience: Sail Croatia delivered a new, higher level of cruising intimacy to us. The yacht Salle Di Mare was unique in terms that it is a mix of traditional design coupled with modern elegance. There were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy a tranquil cruise around the Croatian islands. It's a very intimate experience unlike the large cruise liners. You get to meet the crew and see them working every day. You mingle all the time with fellow passengers and make new friends. And you have this against a backdrop of picture-perfect islands, historic sites, and blue (clear) water. Plus, our cruise had 6 out of 7 days of sunshine, and on the day without sun we had indoor wine tasting :-) As an endorsement, we are already planning another Sail Croatia cruise!

No snacks and coffee service only a few hours a day? Also couldn’t get a beverage while band was playing? Boat lost revenue during entertainment because couldn’t access the bar
