Beautiful cycling trip through the Adriatic Sea and Croatian coast and islands, including refreshing swims. Cycling was challenging but good fun. Our guides Miranda and Tonka were fantastic and looked after us very well. They had a great sense of humour and we enjoyed the ‘stories’ on each ride. We were well fed on the Mali Ante and enjoyed great hospitality from the crew. We were a group of 14 and all got on so well and had lots of laughs.

A fantastic holiday. Dora, Sanya and the boat crew looked after us so well. Great combination of cycling, swimming and beautiful scenery. Our first time in Croatia but we will definitely be back.

The Mali Ante crew & our two tour guides worked hard to make our trip the success it was. We cannot thank them enough. The food was generous & of a high standard.

The tour leaders (Ivica and Mario) were great hosts, made sure we had a safe and interesting bike tour. The food was excellent, and the cycling on the different islands was fantastic. What a beautiful country ! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

Our Sail Croatia vacation was among the very best of our lives! An ideal mix of activity, relaxation and site seeing. Sailing to a new island each day, a swim in the Adriatic, a bike tour, time to relax then open time to visit the local town, dine and return to the ship at our leisure. Guides were truly excellent, crew were friendly and very accommodating, ship was beautiful and comfortable, bikes were great quality. I cannot recommend this trip more highly!
- Glenn, 16/06/2025 01:19, Travelled with Friend/s
The entire Mali Anti crew and guides were wonderful. The boat was clean, comfortable, with plenty of room. The sailing itinerary and cycling were extremely well planned out. The food was excellent and more than what could have been expected. Other guests were quite friendly and fun to be with. We were fortunate to have really good weather for sailing, cycling, and wandering at every stop. Everyone on the crew seemed to go above and beyond to make our experience great. This included the captain (Ivica), the sailors (Ivan and Ilija), the waiter (Mario - he was exceptional), the chef (Ivica - who was truly wonderful) and helper (Antonio). The two guides Miranda and Ana were outstanding throughout our entire trip. (Suggestions - the rooms could have a few more hooks to hang things on and the mirrors in the bathrooms need to be lowered about 6 inches)

You are fortunate to have Ivan and Lucija working gor you. They both made the trip perfect for all the guests. Would definitely want them on my next trip.
- Ken, 11/06/2025 09:19, Travelled in a Couple
We had wonderful guides Luciua and Ivan who both made our bike and sail trip really enjoyable. Their energy was motivating and both made us feel very comfortable with our rides. Luciuas sharing of local history and information was very helpful.
- Wes , 11/06/2025 08:55,
From a captain and crew and our cycling guides, they went out of their way to make our trip and everyone else’s exceptional. I would recommend our trip to all of our friends and family and hopefully one day we can join you again for another trip.. You could also improve our experience with better coffee in the morning. Cheers

our trip was wonderful from start to finish . crew could not have been nicer and more helpful. Special thanks to Mario for his help in the dining room. The food and the chef were marvelous. Ana and Miranda were super helpful with our daily bike rides. Best cruise we have been on and we were sad to see it end. would definitely do this cruise again. if we could… This was a hard-working crew with great attention to detail and worked well together.. They all take pride in their work. A delight to be aboard the Mali Ante!!! A once in a lifetime experience and memory!!

The vessel, the guides, the crew, the country and the awesome group I traveled with.
- Martin Antonio, 09/06/2025 16:43,
I had not booked anything like this before. The whole week was amazing. The group on board were fantastic. Everyone was positive throughout. We were there to enjoy every moment. Having a positive group makes the holiday so good. The Sail Croatia team were super. Srdan and Matilda were excellent representatives. Nothing was too much trouble. The crew on board were brilliant. They kept us safe., fed, and the boat was very clean. The meals on board were excellent. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables . The Captains Dinner was a particular highlight. A life affirming week. Spent with great people in amazing places. The week absolutely flew by.

Josip and Calum were wonderful and made the trip one that we will remember forever. They were professional and covered all the details of the trip. They were a great combo and made the trip special. The whole crew of the Lady Diana was outstanding..

We loved the small ship style of travel. This allowed us to really experience the smaller, more intimate areas, towns, and ports of Croatia. We loved the variation from day to day, both with respect to the rides, and the areas themselves. Our guides Tonka and Lola were absolutely wonderful. They were so personable, caring, enthusiastic, energetic, and knowledgeable. Everyday was pure joy with both of them. We really loved the freedom to explore the different towns in the afternoons and evenings and have dinners off the ship.
- Jay, 09/06/2025 09:43,
The small sized ships allowed access to smaller, quieter, and less busy ports allowing access to the real charm of Croatia. We loved the varied destinations, ports, and rides. No two days were the same. It also allowed us to really interact with the other guests and get to know them well. Our guide’s knowledge of the area and its history was excellent and very informative.
- Jay, 09/06/2025 09:28, Travelled with Family
After doing a bare boat charter around Turkey years ago, we wanted to do same in Croatia, however as keen cyclist was saw the perfect blend of boating and cycling in what Sail Croatia offered … and without all the hassle of a bare boat. The crew and cycle guides were first class … hats off to all. Thanks for the memories.
- David Lovell, 09/06/2025 08:13, Travelled with Friend/s
Concept (power bikes) combined with Croatian touring. Fabulous cruise and cycletrip for couples who want to active lifestyle. The ship was newer and immaculate. The crew were caring, couteus, and helpful.
- Alan, 09/06/2025 07:33, Travelled in a Couple
Great ship (Emanuel), crew, guides (Ivica and Mario), and group of fellow cyclists. We did the ebike option (like almost everyone else) and it made the whole trip a enjoyable experience. Seeing the islands at a slower pace, stopping for swims and hearing the island history was great. Would recommend to all.
- Ian, 09/06/2025 05:39, Travelled in a Couple
Cycling the islands of Croatia was a unique and wonderful way to see the islands. The ship, with only 32 riders plus crew, was awesome. We loved our crew, leaders and other like minded guests we got to know during the week. The daily cycling stops made it easy for all types of riders whether on an e-bike or conventional bike. Highly recommend!
- John, 09/06/2025 04:21,
A bunch of like minded holiday makers and awesome crew made this great. Captain and crew were dedicated to us having a great time. The activity staff were brilliant, Andro was the star with his local knowledge and passion for making everyone feel happy and safe. Thank you
- Adrian, 08/06/2025 09:45, Travelled in a Couple
There were about twenty of us traveling as a group. We made nice friendships with the other guests on the ship. The rides and the option of e-bikes makes this adventure accessible and fun for everyone. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. They provided insight into history of the area offered great suggestions for dinner and activities when we were not cycling. The captain and crew were also very friendly and skilled.
- Bill, 07/06/2025 17:42, Travelled with Friend/s

Best vacation of my life! The people of Sail Croatia as well as the people of Croatia were so friendly and accommodating. The boat was big, spacious, clean and beautiful! The islands were amazing and the bike rides beyond fun and exciting, but most importantly was the crew of our boat, our hostess and especially our cycling guide were all off the chart wonderful! To top it all off was the beauty, food and culture of Croatia! Unbelievable!!
- Mark, 02/06/2025 14:09, Travelled in a Couple
The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.
- Nick, 02/06/2025 12:43, Travelled with Family
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!
- Kerry, 02/06/2025 11:41, Travelled with Friend/s

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
A superb way of seeing a beautiful country. The Split Northern route is, as advertised, comparatively gentle. The scenery is stunning (Krka National Park and Trogir are highlights) and our guides (Lola and Tonka) were friendly, helpful and professional. Our cabin was comfortable, food on board variable (but you won't starve), fresh water available at all times. We didn't feel the need for ebikes but the "ordinary" ones certainly are very ordinary! Inevitably different people want different things from a trip. For us, we would have preferred longer in Trogir - it's SO beautiful, second only to Korcula in our opinion. We would have liked tea and coffee available at all times on board. If Sail Croatia added a few pounds to each booking (to cover the cost) no-one would know - or care. This was our third Sail Croatia trip which speaks volumes. We highly recommend both the company, their staff and the whole concept.
- Richard , 02/06/2025 07:21, Travelled in a Couple
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
What a great experience, best way to see parts of Croatia that a lot of people would see on conventional tours. The ship (Columbo), the captain and the crew were awesome, they went out of their way to make the trip a memorable one. Our guides Marin and Mario were very professional and provided lots of information about the history of the islands and the towns we visited. Would highly recommend cycling with Sail Croatia.
- Fred, 30/05/2025 01:15, Travelled in a Couple
So many things. First the people, the guides, Ivan and Marin, were informative, funny and really looked after everyone. The food was very good, although pace yourself there was a lot! The captain, sailors and attendants would do anything for you. The ship was lovely, with lots of space in the cabin, beautiful wood throughout. Last but certainly not least is the country. Wonderful vistas, cruising beautiful waters and great cycling each day. Highly recommend.
- Shawn, 27/05/2025 14:00,
The tour team and ship crew were A1. on all accounts. We had some weather to navigate through and again the captain and crew made it all work. We did wish the ship was a tad more updated. Beds were too hard and hot water was not reliable (only a 400 liter tank for all 40 of us). All part of the adventure. Marin and Mario were great tour leaders and kept us all safe. The Croatian food was first rate and plentiful each day. A great time had by all.
- Robert, 26/05/2025 13:22, Travelled in a Couple
Overall, my wife and I had a wonderful trip on our bike-boat trip in May 2025. The guides were very good and kept us well informed. The bikes were very good quality and easy to ride. My only criticism is that my wife and I slept in separate small beds in our cabin. We would’ve clearly preferred to be in a single bed together at night as we have been for 40 years. All in all, this was a very successful vacation for my wife and myself.
- David, 26/05/2025 12:42, Travelled in a Couple
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!

This was a fantastic holiday from the beautiful islands we cycled across to the great guides and friendly professional crew of the Mali Luka. The chef produced amazing food for us every day with great verity, accommodating all tastes and requirements. The cycling guides were knowledgeable of the areas we went to, this meant they could remain flexible on routes we took so always managed to cycle in great weather. They also provided lots of interesting history of the islands as we cycled around them.
