We spent a week sailing from Split to Dubrovnick on Slice of Heaven with Tony and Matea. They were amazing in all ways. Tony skippered the boat with safety and professionalism centered, yet was extremely flexible in adjusting to our interests in bicycling on the islands and sailing when the wind was up. Mattea was an amazing host and chef extraordinaire. She set a very high standard for breakfast and lunch that will be impossible to duplicate. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia, especially if you can land these two!

From the minute we stepped on the boat until the final beer back in Split marina this trip was just amazing. The boat was exactly as advertised and the Sail Croatia team made the whole process very easy. Special thanks to our skipper, Ivan, who really made the trip a great experience. He was more than happy to accommodate the extra stops we wanted to make and was incredibly patient with our lack of boating knowledge (I think I know how to tie a rope now!). Can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Our tour guide Noura and the crew were all absolutely amazing and so helpful and knowledgeable the entire trip. The group of people on the boat were all amazing and super friendly too

Myself and my friends were incredibly grateful to have a boat of like minded people who enjoyed exploring and having fun. However, this was only made possible by the incredible efforts of our guide Nour and the entire crew of our boat on Mlini. Every little detail was more than what we could have imagined, from the organisation of excursions, to group meals and fun games for us to all enjoy. Nour really ensured that our week was one to remember!

The crew were fantastic with the energy and friendliness they gave. They were also very helpful with assisting us with anything we needed and made sure we had the best experience one could have! Would highly recommend the trip to anyone who wants to see many parts of Croatia in a short period of time, enjoying both the culture and nightlife!

Had such an amazing time on Sail Croatia. Our rep - Marin did a fantastic job. He kept us all on task with frequent updates on the plan for the day, this evening and then plan for tomorrow. He has a wonderful personality that makes him approachable, and was extremely responsible and reliable when any issues arrose! I cannot imagine having a better rep than Marin. He really made the experience what it was. His in depth knowledge of the area as a local Croatian was essential. The excursions were great, the atmosphere on the boat was great, and most importantly Croatia was absolutely gorgeous! Loved essentially waking up to a new Mediterranean island location every day. Would without hesitation recommend this cruise and especially Marin as a rep to anyone and everyone!
- John McGowan, 02/06/2025 12:32, Travelled Solo
Absolutely awesome trip! Special thanks to Marin and the Crew. Marin made sure everything was taken care of and became a good friend by the end of it, through sharing stories of his own adventures and really making us feel art of the Croatian culture, DOBRA! The crew was fantastic and made sure we were all taken care of. Croatia is stunning, and the vibe on board was incredible. Met amazing people, explored beautiful islands, and had the best time. 100% recommend! Thank you Marin and the Crew!

Our biking/sailing holiday with Sail Croatia’s Columbo was exceptional! The food was delicious, our waiter/bartender Bruno was top notch and our guides Marin and “Johnny” were SO knowledgeable and helpful and tons of fun! All of the other staff were super helpful and pleasant! We definitely will be recommending this to all our friends/family! Well done and thank you for making this trip so memorable!

A small group of friends did a 1 week sail/bike tour of the northern Adriatic coast of Croatia. Beautiful country, crystal clear water and very friendly people. The accommodations for the 20 guests aboard the Mali Ante were comfortable and clean and the crew of the ship were first class. The two guides provided by Sail Croatia (Lola and Tonka) guided us through fantastic routes through small towns and villages that you would never see on a larger ship. The rides were fun and not terribly challenging, although I do recommend taking an E-bike if you are more into the scenery than the cycling! Truly a 5 star experience!
- Steve, 02/06/2025 07:24, Travelled with Friend/s
Marin and Johnny were awesome. They made sure we were always safe during are rides. They always kept us informed of what was happening and what was coming g up. Gave us lots of information about the history of the place we were visiting that day. I believe they went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience.
- Marc, 02/06/2025 05:08, Travelled with Friend/s
Had a weeklong cruise on the Mlini and was one of the best weeks of my life. Saw some unreal places, tried some unreal experiences and made some friends for life. Special shout-out to our navigator Nour who was one of the friendliest people I met. She loves her job and knows so much about each location and was always heaps of fun and great to have a chat too as well!!!
- Aidan, 30/05/2025 14:43, Travelled with Friend/s
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!
- Shayan, 29/05/2025 17:18, Travelled Solo
A variety of reasons made my experience great. My fellow travellers were all amazing, so kind and friendly and keen to explore the cities, nature and also party till dawn. The crew were amazing, so kind and friendly and always happy to help. Special shoutouts for me goes to Mateo and Miro for being super cautious of my food allergies and getting me safely through the week. Nora was also amazing, always checking out on everyone and curating special days to keep us entertained when our intineray needed to me modified due to poor weather. Overall a superb experience and the highlight of my euro trip so far.
- Owen, 29/05/2025 10:57, Travelled with Friend/s
Our tour director, Vedran, and Esperanza's crew provided us with a great experience both on board and on shore. Their hospitality was exceptional, as they made every effort to ensure our experience was outstanding. Passengers from 4 different countries made the trip even more delightful. The weather was perfect for exploring the islands. Food was excellent both on the ship and at our ports of call. Although the May water temperature was cool, swimming off the back of the Esperanza was a daily ritual that made our trip even more memorable. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Overall, it was a fantastic experience; I highly recommend it!

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!

I would give Sail Croatia two thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 100% — or whatever else I can say to express just how amazing this experience was! The cruise was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The crew was top notch — friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with delicious meals that exceeded all expectations. It was truly an unforgettable trip, and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience. If you're thinking about booking with Sail Croatia, do it — you won’t regret it!

1) Smaller group! With that many riders (32) the faster riders, some of whom would have ridden even faster if allowed, spent way too much time waiting for the slower riders. This was the case on the uphills, the downhills, and the level rides. People ride at different speeds, regardless of terrain or type of bike. 2) Longer, full-day rides. One day was only 10 km, which is ridiculous.

We thank you again and we hope to welcome you again in the future on another journey!
It was certainly a good time; many of the activities were new experiences to my friend and I. The tour guide, Marin, was excellent and really made the trip. Even what would be a minute detail to us, was a make or break factor of trip to Marin. He takes it very seriously, and treats everyone like family. Thank you, Marin.

This cruise was a once in a lifetime experience. It really was something i will remember for the rest of my life. It was a great mix of croatian, culture, nightlife and exploring! I had an unforgettable time thanks to the welcoming crew and my brilliant tour guide Marin, and his apprentice Johnny. I truly hope to stay in touch with these two because not only did they treat me like family but they made my croatia trip truly the best experience i cant thank Marin and the crew enough, and i can’t recommend sail croatia enough!
- Carson, 26/05/2025 09:49, Travelled with Friend/s
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

Everything worked like a well oiled machine. Those who wanted to walk did and those who didn't didn't. There was no pressure on anyone. Staff were thoughtful and attentive. Thought was put into what people wanted to do including consultation as to preferences due to weather issues.

Comfortable and immaculate boat with great food and staff. Well organized and run with high quality Ebikes. This was my second trip with Sail Croatia
- Jan, 26/05/2025 03:32, Travelled with Friend/s
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!
- Lachie, 22/05/2025 14:22, Travelled Solo
This week was undoubtably one of the best of my life. The staff (massive shout out to Mateo and the Mlini crew) and our host Elena were an unbelievably good vibe and made the trip so much fun. There's nothing quite like waking up hung over and recovering by looking out onto a beautiful Croatian island. I didn't do too many of the additional activities but just sitting on the boat and chatting was some of the highlights for me. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who likes to have fun and socialise. A lot of our boat were solo travellers too so don't let that stop you if you're feeling nervous! Thanks again guys.

I had high expectations for my sail Croatia experience as friends have had a great time beforehand, my experience was blown out of the water! The activities were great and the crew on board were fantastic. Mateo looked after us so well and went above and beyond, Frane and Stipe were great also plus our fantastic chef! Elena was the perfect rep for my experience, she was honest about the value of things, gave great tips and advice and was the perfect mix of fun and professionalism. I cannot rate her highly enough, she really helped make Sail Croatia an unforgettable experience.

The four of us set out to Croatia from Canada via Prague. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with humour and. Assistance. The entire trip we were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful cruise and scenic views. It was a wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday with my spouse and best friends. Throughout the cruise we were updated about excursions and opportunities to visit sites.

The ship was in great shape and the Captain very skilled. the crew worked hard to make our week a fun/safe time and they succeeded. However, meals are a big part of our annual boat and bike trips. Here they failed. The meals were far too heave generally and the BBQ night was substandard with much meat and few veggies...and they were buried under all that meat. The meal was awful. Equally as bad was the captains dinner of steak that was unchewable...oh, the coffee was worse than any I had in the Navy and I didnt thimk that woukd ever be possible...undrinkable sludge..this boat & bike towr tour 7th as a group. It was the also the first to not put out a nice happy hour food spread...only pretzels and biscuits. All in all, I won't recommend this trip .

While we regret that your experience didn't leave you feeling confident to recommend us based on the meals provided, we appreciate your honesty. Feedback like yours plays a crucial role in helping us to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future with enhancements that reflect your input.
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?

My expectations were exceeded at every level. Our guides Marin and Ivan were fun, approachable, and very knowledgeable. Their different styles in leading complimented each other very well and made us feel safe and special. The kitchen staff, Chef Marco and Sous Chef Maria prepared wonderful and delicious meals each day and young Ivan and Karlo delivered breakfast, lunch and cocktails with a smile and genuine enjoyment. The PD crew were all top notch and got us to each destination without worry! Bravo! The undulating Croatian countryside I saw from the ship and aboard my E-Bike (highly recommend) was breathtaking and beautiful!! The deep blue Adriatic Sea was stunning against an impressive mountain coast. The the cities we visited were historical wonders and each beautiful in their own way. My shipmates were amazing and I feel a few long time friendships have been born on this intimate experience! Zivjeli!!!

The entire staff, from the captain down, was excellent, doing their very best to give us an enjoyable experience. The boat was in excellent condition, and very clean. The cycling guides, Miranda and Lola, were always asking what the passengers preferred in cycling routes, and then delivering what was requested. They genuinely wanted to make us happy. Even Matilda, who was in training to be a cycling guide, helped with any difficulty we encountered.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble for the crew and guides. Everything was explained to us for the next day and again on the morning. The food was good and plentiful. The cabins are small but you aren't in them that often so you can live with that. Small observation by all my group was that it would have been good to be able to buy snacks along with drinks eg crisps, nuts etc as we were advised we could not bring any food on board. Loved it all!

A fantastic holiday around the beautiful Croatian islands with Sail Croatia. The e-bikes made the island tours relaxing and the routes were well thought out with plenty to see along the way, with our excellent guides explaining everything before, during and afterwards. Back onboard, we were well looked after by the crew and staff, who could not do enough to make the holiday extremely enjoyable.
