Fun but issues for sure

The sights and views are amazing, it’s a very beautiful scenic view, other than that there were a lot of issues, shot glasses on boat were never cleaned, they would just repour into the same glasses that were left on the table, very unsanitary, meals were okay most days but we were still worried about the sanitation of that too, our tour guide was awesome, crew was okay, wouldn’t port until after 2-3pm each day which seemed odd too, missed out on a lot of the morning scenes and shows at each stop, our itinerary from the website didn’t match at all to what we actually did, missed 2 of our stops and stayed in another location for 2 days instead of 1, they would blame the weather yet sky’s were clear the whole time, felt trapped on the boat some of the days, forced into “swim stops” that most people were not interested in and wanted to explore Croatia more. Met good people and had some fun besides those hiccups, nice way to see the most of Croatia in a 7 day span

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed Croatia’s incredible scenery, had a great experience with your Representative and met some wonderful people along the way. Small-ship cruises are designed with sailing in the morning, a midday swim stop and arrival into port in the early afternoon, giving guests the afternoon and evening to explore before remaining moored overnight. While this balance of sailing, swimming and exploring is an intentional part of the experience, we appreciate it may not suit everyone. We’re sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the glasses onboard, which we take seriously and will raise with the relevant team. Itinerary changes can also occasionally be necessary due to weather and sea conditions, even when skies appear clear, or port restrictions and availability. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we’re glad you still enjoyed many aspects of your week exploring Croatia.

Mlini

We had a great time on the Mlini. The crew was outstanding particularly the food which was much better than expected. Toma was our guide and was a great guide and friend to everyone. They worked hard to make it a great week. They deserve a raise Few areas to improve on: inform passengers if they boat isn’t full. It’s quite disappointing when you arrive to find the boat is half full leaving much to be desired from the social aspect. Also, recommend decreasing the number of excursions and increasing the quality.

Thank you for your 4 star review and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great time, enjoyed travelling with your group and had such a positive experience with the crew onboard. We also appreciate your comments regarding the condition of some aspects of the ship, including the linen and bathrooms.

Thank you again for travelling with us, and we’re pleased that overall you had an enjoyable experience!

The experiences and crew were really good, the actual boat on the other hand wasn’t really

It was awesome we had a lot of fun, swim spots were awesome, the towns/cities were great. The crew were really easy to get along with and served quality tasting food. Only bad thing was the condition of the boat, it was clean don’t get me wrong, but the rooms were twice as hot as it was outside, (yes it was advertised there was no A/C) so there was no way to cool down and most people ending up sleeping outside on the deck during the night not using their rooms. And the shower amenities were pretty rough. We paid extra for an upper deck room thinking it would be cooler and less noisy, but it was the complete opposite, rooms downstairs were cooler and less noisy. I think if we had photos of the amenities and knew the condition of the rooms on the exact boat we were on, we wouldn’t have paid as much or gone at all. But don’t let that distract you from what made it worth while, all the people we met on the boat from guest to crew was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Thank you for your 4-star review! We’re so pleased to hear you had an awesome time overall and enjoyed the swim stops, destinations, food, and especially the crew and fellow travellers onboard. We appreciate your feedback regarding the ship facilities. You booked our Standard ship category, which is our most affordable option for budget-conscious travellers and features bunk-bed cabins, shared bathroom facilities and no air-conditioning. Images and specifications for each of our ship categories are available on our website to help highlight the differences between them, allowing guests to make an informed decision before booking with us. We also note in our FAQs under “What is the difference between Above and Lower Deck cabins?” that Lower Deck cabins can often be cooler and quieter than Above Deck cabins. We completely understand that everyone has different comfort preferences, and based on your feedback, we’d recommend considering one of our higher ship categories, such as Ensuite or Premier, for any future trip with us. Thanks again for travelling with us, and it’s great to hear that the people you met and experiences along the way made the trip so worthwhile!

Great trip, the crew and the guide were the best. Wouldn’t have beeen the same without them.

Great experience

Absolutely amazing experience and crew, you’ll have the best week of your life meeting new people Boat was very old and run down but in comparison to the people and the memories you’ll make it’s worth the price would have been nice to include the taxes in the payment though was a little misleading. The other thing I didn’t like was we couldn’t mix with the sister boats only to find out it was because their drinks prices was different also

- Anonymous, 26/08/2026 11:07, Travelled Solo

Lovely sailing across Croatia

It was a very nice trip overall with very kind crew and well organised, the cabins were nice and clean and the AC worked top. I loved the buoys and the swimstops where we could jump! Special shout out to Toni who organised the trip perfectly. Some things were slightly expensive, especially the BBQ extra charge of 30 euros was unecessary given the amount already paid, and I wish some activities could have been included as part of the original fare. Fellow travellers were very nice and agreeable, but it would be could to market the trip to other nationalities to make sure it is not only Aussies only!

A fun time with lots of memories

A great time for anyone who loves a party. Meeting lots of new people is fun and everyone on board is very friendly, it’s an extroverts dream and helps bring out introverts. The boat is somewhat comfortable, a little dated but nothing terrible, the bedding is a bit bare bones - take a proper pillow or blanket. Food is okay - nothing amazing, a few good meals during the week. Staff are very great, our guide Lauren was awesome and so were the crew. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a solid party and exploring - bring your wallet, your room is secured with payment but virtually everything on board is charged, except for on board meals. Even transfers from the boat and to events is charged to you, so bring at least a few hundred euros to cover these.

Fun, but Pricey

Yeah it was a great trip. Excursions were fun and there was a great vibe on the boat. I will make some complaints. The boat itself did not have any sails whatsoever. It was a bit old and rundown and smelled quite bad on the lower deck. Most mornings you don't sleep in from the noise of the motor. I feel like the drinks were a bit steep and especially the bell rings being 128 euros was ridiculous. Felt like exploiting customers for more profit. There is no way serving 30 odd people some shots is worth over 100 euros. Also the bartender used his hands to put ice in the buckets. Not anyones fault but something to be aware of was the whole boat ended up getting sick by the end of it and you would hear loud coughing at night. Having to pay in cash was a let down. Someone had a bar tab of over 1000euro and had to pay $44 in atm fees and call his bank. I would have appreciated being able to top up my tab in advance via card. The port fees being included was obviously just to make sure you

7 day bender

Had so much fun with a great bunch of people. Captain + crew were awesome. The facilities on the premium navigator cruise are actually really decent and surprisingly spacious. Worth the extra money, especially for AC. Side note; you will end up paying as much as the initial cost so be aware. However many of the daily activities are worth. Shout out Lauren for being an awesome rep.

Great way to see the country! Experience different towns and landscapes with others from around the world. Your guide helps in bringing you to unique spots that you would otherwise not know to check out. One of the best trips my partner and I have ever been on!

- Andrew, 15/07/2025 16:16, Travelled in a Couple

I wouldnt say its a life changing experience but one to ticket off the bucket list

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

Would not recommend this to anyone

The bedrooms for 3 people are just not big enough. The other people on the boat ruined my experience and expectations. Only good thing to come out of this trip was the bartender who was amazing

Marijana, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2024-09-05:

Dear Nathan, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review and feedback regarding your recent Sail Croatia Navigator cruise. It is wonderful to hear that your bartender was amazing and he was the highlight of the trip for you! We will be sure to let him know. We clearly advise our travellers when booking a Triple bed cabin that these are the same size as twin share hence why we offer 10% discount when a Triple bed cabin is booked. Thank you again for your feedback.

Needs improvement

The tour guide needs to be more involved with the people on the boat. I understand that they might have been doing this for weeks already but the guide is the person who drives the moral on the ship, if they don’t want to get involved and leave it up to the group to make our own experience that is poor. Lucky the group of people I went on with was amazing and that alone is what made my trip. Certain experiences were cancelled months before we went on the boat and had no prior warning to these cancelations which for me were the only reasons why I signed up for sail Croatia. If Sail Croatia had known about the issues on Hvaar and Markaska then months before the boat had set sail an email should have been sent out to people and offered refunds for trips. It borderlines on a scam that people were sold an idea that was never going to be delivered.

Boat should be retired

Our boat was a huge let down, we were told when we booked that we would be on a boat with more people than we actually had, we were also shown photos of a boat that was MUCH nicer than the one we were put on. We had no deck chairs/loungers on the top of ours so there wasn’t a space to fully relax an unwind. Almost zero shade on top as well so the only place to lay and relax was in bed which was uncomfortable as well. One shower for 24 people (plus crew), and you had to hold the shower head as it had nothing to mount to. The bed wasn’t big enough for me to lay in so every night while sleeping I had to scrunch my body up, it was also extremely hot below deck while trying to sleep this made it more difficult to get a good nights sleep. Overall it was a let down, if I were to do it again I would want to go on a boat that should actually be in operation, unlike the mala Kate which is what we were on. If it weren’t for the great people I was with then it wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Dear Tom, Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you met some great people on your cruise and we hope you enjoyed Croatia as a whole.

Best week of my life

I was lucky enough to get the best group of people and best crew. But all I can say is that booking the ensuite boat for navigator is definitely all you’ll need for a week. You’ll have more fun on this boat if you’re solo or with one or two mates. If you’re travelling with a bigger group of friends you should think about selecting a nicer boat.

- James, 07/08/2024 00:34, Travelled Solo

Great time and made tons of friends, drinks too pricey

I had a great time aboard the Afrodita while being a solo traveler. I met tons of friends and shared great memories. The food and on board entertainment were great, but the bar prices were not competitive at all. Drinks were €10-12 and happy hour was only 10% off. Bell ring shots were also €120 at the start of the trip and usually mostly juice unless you were watching the bartender and telling him to pour more alcohol. When comparing with passengers in other boats, their drinks were only €4 (didn't have to pay for mixers) and bell rings on their boat were only €80. If our boat had cheaper drinks, more drinks would have been purchased on board, but our group was considered fairly tame because people didn't end up buying many drinks on board. More money could have been made by this boat on alcohol, but they were stingy with prices and portions and wondered why they didn't make much money. The trip overall was great, but the bar was their biggest downfall.

Boat needs maintenance

The bedrooms need a major upgrade they’re a sauna and the boat is in need of maintenance as water leaked through the roof in the dining whilst eating lunch

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2024-08-30:

Dear Jack, Thank you for leaving us with your review. Our Standard Ships are popular with budget conscious, independent travellers on extended travels throughout Europe. Our Premier and Ensuite ships offer the added benefit of air-condtioned cabins compared to our Standard ships which you chose to travel on. We regret any issues experienced during your cruise. It is common for the more traditional, wooden ships, which are full of charm and history, to face occasional leaks during severe weather conditions, which was unfortunately experienced in the small part of the dining room during your week. Your comments help us in our ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance our vessels. Thank you.

Unforgettable week

The crew on board couldn’t have been any better they were honestly the nicest hardest workers you will meet always smiling and helping out in any way they could. The food was 5/5 amazing as well at the itinerary of the week with stops and swim spots. Only feedback would be the variety of drinks at the bar were not as advertised on the website and didn’t have the variety to suit some people we were with.

Unreal Trip!

Our Crew Leader Nikola went above and beyond on so many occasions for not only our boat (Big Blue) but for passengers on other boats. There were two times that some of the girls on the other boats were in a distressful situation from locals or other unrelated tourists. He got them back to the boat safely in a seamless and timely manner, His attentiveness to safety for everyone was incredible. The only fault was we had 3 lounge chairs on the top deck of the boat to share between 25.

Could’ve been a better trip

Different crew, more organisation, better food and to actually go to the planned destinations. Not be lied to by the captain and made to pay for the bbq when told there is no restaurants and then when we arrive at the destination there were a lot of restaurants. Drink prices are too high as well. Cleaner rooms and the air cons need to be cleaned out

Excellent week but room for improvement

Had a great week on Sail on the boat Afrodita! Great way to see beautiful parts of Croatia and meet people from all walks of life. The crew and tour manager were all excellent. The bar tab method could be improved significantly and at least one room clean should be provided during this period. Would definitely recommend but some room for improvement.

- Nouzar, 24/08/2023 12:44, Travelled with Friend/s

A great week you won’t regret!

We were travelling with 7 friends on a boat of 30. The crew and staff were wonderful and the itinerary was amazing. If you plan on spending a relaxing 7 days this Sail isn’t for you, it’s a more of a 7 day bender with no let up. Our fellow sail mates were great fun and people on other boats also made the trip one to remember. However, the rooms and bathrooms were tiny, the free breakfast is irrelevant as no one is ever awake for it and the lunches were what I would describe as a 3rd world counties school camp. I would definitely recommend trying a KJU while you’re in Croatia!

Wild times on the Croatian coast

Swimming in beautifully clear water, making friends with a bunch of amazing people and partying in some of the coolest clubs and locations you’ll find in the world. I had a great time doing Sail Croatia but it’s something I’d only do once. Be prepared to be a shell of yourself when you get off the boat. Four stars because our first tour guide got fired half way through (thankfully because he was completely useless) and because he/the boat tried to scam us into paying for the air conditioning even though it was advertised as being included in the price.

Review

More communication between the crew. We didn’t do what was on the itinerary because the captain said the weather was too bad to go to hvar but there was 2 sail Croatia boats docked there. There was a couple swim spots there were just not ideal. One in the middle of a harbour with the current moving so fast.

So much potential.

I enjoyed the Sail Croatia experience, however, do feel that it can be very much luck of the draw when it comes to other boat personnel, which is such a crucial aspect of the week. When there are multiple large groups on each vessel, it can be hard to really get groups interacting all together, especially for solos. The other issue can be around age disparity. Perhaps more transparency over the booking arrangements of each boat could help this.

The bar service needs changing, I was charged for drinks that I know I didnt not consume. There were extra soft drinks and cocktails on my bill that I simply never ordered. The bar staff refused to returnn my passport unless I paid the bill, and could not explain these extra drinks which totalled to an extra 100 euro than what I actually ordered.

So Many Issues

We still had fun on this trip because of the people we met and places we went, but there were a lot of let downs. We sailed on a premier ship and paid extra for the accommodations. In Sail Croatia's mind, this meant we should pay more for everything. Our drinks were 75% more expensive then the other sail croatia boat and the crew squeezed us for money. Designated dinners were to expensive, poor quality restaurants with commish going to the guide. Guide said there was no way to get food in Mljet for under $25 and pushed everyone to pay $25 to eat on the boat (Food in Mljet was $10). Crew was not aware of the upcoming excursion details and refused to provide any day plans until 10am the day of so everyone would be on the ship longer. Guide left me on the side of a road to wait for an excursion van for 20 min because the ship was leaving early. Cruise was for 7 nights, but the last day had no activities or places planned and guide/crew just docked and left us. Rooms were constantly wet.

May Rain

Had an awesome time, our boat crew and tour rep were incredible! They took really good care of us and helped us navigate the terrible weather we had for the first 4 days of Sail. Would honestly do it again it was so much fun, the group we had was amazing. I just wouldn't do it in May so the weather would be better. We could only do 3 out of 12 of our optional activities because of weather and a lot of bars/clubs were closed still. Our crew definately made sure to look out for us though and make sure our time was still fun #ClubCorridor

Fun week

Was a good mix of people on our boat and had a great time. Food was good and plenty of it. The only downfall would be all the extra costs that I incurred. Was very expensive to eat and drink off board and the extra costs onboard you don’t hear about (unless your into reading the fine print). You have to pay for AC, port taxes, etc. would recommend to a friend but letting them know you will need to be prepared to spend.

One of the greatest weeks of my life!

I loved every moment of my week on the Nerezine. I has the best group of people that made me as a solo traveller feel welcomed. The crew were also amazing! I did however feel some of the extra add on were not presented to us, for example the canoeing. There were also some issues below deck in my room that I thought were not up to scratch. These include leaking water from the ceiling, out ensuing door not closing and latching. The toilet was an issue as I couldn't use it properly, but I was able to make do. These issue however did not make my time on the boat bad, for me they are just amenities, the people and places you visit is what matter and makes the trip what it is. As I said before it was one of the best weeks of my life and I have you, Sail Croatia and Ioana and crew to thank for that.

Great crew and cruise

What a fantastic week through the islands and coastline of Croatia. The people and crew made everything feel like the once in a lifetime trip this deserves to be. Tempted to go on the yacht trip on day once I recover from the craziness of the navigator cruise. Needs a few less Aussies, although maybe that's what made it so good.

A sail to remember

From the moment we stepped on the Salve Di Mare it's fair to say we were very excited on what was to come. The boat was beautiful, clean and the rooms were air-conditioned and classy. Staff were incredibly friendly, led by our guide Julie who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire trip (not to mention great fun)! Food was incredible on the boat, a highlight being dessert for lunch! We had such a good crew with us and everyone was there to soak up the beautiful sun, swim in the crystal clear waters and have a good time. Small feedback would be that the pricier upper deck rooms were smaller than the cheaper rooms below. Needed a bit more time on the islands especially when we didn't go out to party the night before. However, from the moment we took off, we knew we had made the right choice sailing with Sail Croatia. If you have any hesitation, just book with the Salve Di Mare you will not regret it.

Navigator Dubrvonik - split

The boat we booked wasnt the same as the online pictures, Every activity we did had a cost, my mates room had no sheets or blankets or towls and took them four days of asking repeatedly to get them. our host knew very little about anything and put in no effort what soever to help us out when we had questions or needed advice

We are sorry to hear you were disappointed here. Thank you again for your review Matt.

Great trip

Great trip. I thought I would love drinking every day but I got tired of it quickly and only wanted to focus on the exploration. If you’re looking to party constantly this is a great trip, otherwise if you want to explore just stick to hostels and travel

Hello, Great trip with great people. Weather meant weren’t able to do everything but was still great fun. I understand it was the end of the season but I feel Ela could have done a better job of making sure everyone was informed and involved in the week. Communication wasn’t great and I really felt there was a missed opportunity to bring everyone together and create a real family atmosphere. Crew were awesome and worked really hard to ensure we were having a good time. Were a couple of incidence with things going missing and finding loose clothes in the crew cabin. Overall a great experience but feel with a little bit of extra effort it would have gone a long way I’m creating a truly unforgettable experience. Cheers,

Sail review

Group leader Tea was great- quite fun and informative on each place we stopped at whilst also making the effort to mingle with us and make our trip the best possible. Only downside was my lower deck cabin among with other people’s being very hot at night and the fan didn’t work with also not much ventilation down there but other then that I would recommend the sail to others.

Great week sailing Croatia. Ship name: Tvrdi

We had an amazing week on our boat. The crew and our guide 'Duje' ensured we all had a fantastic experience. Our lower level standard room (room 14) seemed to be the smallest on the boat which was the only negative of our trip. Luckily we had an amazing crew and fellow guests which made up for it!!

Week long party

The boat crew and tour lead made this an enjoyable week long party. It would have been nicer to maybe have more time in each spot, however that is a benefit of hindsight. Rooms are as you expect however the en-suites leave room for improvement. The common bathroom and shower areas are sufficient. Croatia really turned on the sun for us with great weather the whole trip.

Thank you for your comments on our Ensuite ships, for added luxury and comfort, we would recommend our Premier ship next time🙂

Relaxing and Fun

Pros: Met plenty of great people on our boat, swim stops in beautiful locations, scenic locations visited and clubs on offer for the north route. Cons: Expensive (Bar prices very expensive comparative to on land options considering you would rather sit on the boat and drink, maybe some more happy hour specials on popular drinking options not just the already expensive options.) (Excursion prices outrageous especially in comparison to the prices offered by other tour agencies on land.)

Sailing with Tuna

Sail Review

Daniel was a fantastic host and represented the company extremely well. I had a great time and all the crew onboard were really nice. Bartender Ivana was always cheerful and full of life. Chef Igor was a great cook and a very friendly person. While I had limited interactions with the sailors, they were both very nice when I did see them. The boat itself was lacking in some areas. The toilets always had a terrible smell. I understand that sewage systems onboard are not great however the smell in our toilet at all times was unbearable. It was no fault of the company or people on board, but something to consider in the future. All in all, the trip was great!

Decent at best

Awesome people but terribly planned. If someone took maybe 15 mins to use common sense to plan this it would have gone so much smoother. The lack of communication was laughable. Excursions that were offered were decent but nothing I would go out of my way to do. The swim stops were a joke. We would stop the boat in the middle of nowhere overlooking a construction site. Also, pretty lame that once the boat was in port you couldn't go in the water unless you went to beach.

Ceira, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2019-07-10:

Thank you for your review - we appreciate your comments. The excursions offered are optional and we're sorry to hear that none of the excursions appealed to you. Our swim stops generally take place in secluded bays in the middle of the Adriatic Ocean overlooking the coast and the sites are spectacular. Upon speaking with the representative, she confirms that the construction site was near the town centre during the time of sail. In regards to swimming in the port, we mention in our Ship Rules (emailed to you prior to the cruise and available onboard) that swimming at the port is prohibited as a safety precaution as there are generally many ships docking and departing so is not a safe swimming zone. We do hope that you enjoyed other aspects of the cruise and that these issues didn't detract from your overall experience.

Amazing week - could be made even better with a few simple suggestions

Amazing week sailing Croatia - strap yourself in for a big week of partying. My only criticism would be that the aircond wasn’t working - so the rooms below deck were hot. Suggest changing sheets half way through the week as they get gross - same with towels.

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear you had an amazing week with us and we thank you for your suggestions. There are a couple of points in your review that I just need to clarify for other travellers considering booking with us - you chose our Ensuite cabin (cheaper, with ensuite, smaller cabins, no air-con), presumably for budgetary reasons. We also offer rooms with air-con which are on our Premier ships (ensuite, spacious cabins, air-con) but are slightly more expensive. You will receive 1x bath towel onboard, additional supplies can be requested at provided at the crew's discretion. We are glad that you enjoyed your overall experience and we thank you for sharing it with us!

A fun week but room for improvement

Firstly i have to say i had a great week doing Split to Dubrovnik. The boat we sailed on was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I do have to say how great our waiters were (Alena & Tommy) who brought a lot of fun and laughs however the chef and food could have been improved a lot. I know a lot of people on board were rather dissapointed by this. It would have also been nice to have a small thank you speech or something from our Sail Croatia tour manager instead we got nothing the morning of our departure which was rather odd and a bit disappointing after we spent a week together. We had a group of 40 people and i could not have asked for a better group of people to sail with.. Some people wanted to party every night while others wanted to take it a bit easy however everyone all got along great which was so awesome to see.

Dubrovnik to Split cruise

Had an enjoyable time on this cruise.

Sail Croatia Party Boat

Ana our guide was fantastic. She was absolutely lovely and so knowledgeable. She was always there for any of the passengers aboard when we needed her. I cannot say one bad thing about Ana. We all loved her. However the boat bartender was very moody and rude at times. Sometimes it felt like we were being treated like children. The crew did not interact much with the passengers and seemed like they didnt want to be there. We were given 1 towel to use for the whole week and it rained most of the week. It's pretty hard to dry a towel when it's raining and damp, we didnt appreciate this. Overall I still really enjoyed meeting all the lovely passengers and made some news friends that I will hopefully see again. The boat itself had broken stereo speakers and we werent allowed to play music at alot of the stops. Come on it's a party boat, music is a must people! Sail Croatia might want to consider hiring a new boat.

Navigator North

Went on the Navigator North trip with the Tarin boat. We had no overnight power for 2-3 days when docked in port, therefore our fans in the room did not work in the intense heat, People resorted to sleeping on the roof as the cabins were unbearably hot. We also couldn't charge our mobile phones in order to take pictures the next day, set alarms, etc. Our water dispenser was taken off the boat a day before the cruise ended because the boat was going to be used by another company the following day. The whole boat vibrated when moving, making sleep in the morning extremely difficult. Eggs were not provided for breakfast every day. In fact the were on a random scheduled according to how the chef felt. One day I woke up for breakfast only to be told the eggs had already finished.. The next day I woke up earlier and was told eggs were only made every second day and not daily. On the plus side we did visit some pretty cool places and met some amazing people. Tarin and Ivanna were great!

Amazing holiday, but......

This was one of the best holidays I have ever been on but being stuck on a boat with a bunch of teenagers was not what I signed up for!!! I highly recommend you take this trip as you get to see the best of Croatia at your leisure. The staff & crew of The Navigator were amazing. The food onboard was incredible tasty & beers even better. As a married man, along with friends who are also married, the only drawback was sharing the boat with inconsiderate, drunken younglings. This was by no means a cheap holiday & didn't sign up for a party every night. There should be a clear indicator of what age group you will be sharing your trip with. We were under the impression there would be no one under the age of 25 on our boat & this was not the case. Aircon was non existent but you don't really need it if you can keep your cabin door open. Due to the noise levels we could not. All in all it's a trip I will never forget & fell in love with Croatia like no other place in the world.

Summary of Trip

What I loved; - The price of things were very cheap compared to the UK - Loved sitting on the deck whilst the boat was cruising and taking in the incredible views - Crew were great and very friendly - Beautiful Cities Could improve; - Not enough swim stops, we didn't have any one day and on another we only had a 10 minute swim stop - Maintenace on the boat wasn't great, a few of the fans as well as the light at the back of the boat wasn't working, we needed to use our cellphones for light - Most of the lilos flew of off the back of the boat, other boats tied them up. - Beds were tiny, I'm tall so had to sleep with my feet out the window. - The shower head is an extension from the basin and toilet constantly smelt, not sure if the draining system wasn't great - Our boat cut the music and bar around 10ish where as the other boats went on later. All in all I would recommend it but improvements to the small things would make a big difference.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate all your comments and are pleased to hear the prices were cheap in comparison to the UK, you enjoyed the beautiful Croatian coastline, the crew were friendly and you enjoyed the itinerary. Thank you for your comments. We have noted your recommendations on providing more swim stops, improving maintenance on the boat, securing the lilos onboard (if provided), and the music onboard. In regards to the maintenance issues that occured during your week, I have checked our internal records and can see that once the crew were made aware, this was resolved immediately. Regarding the music onboard, each location has a night curfew set by Port Authorities that our boats adhere to - not adhering to noise curfews can result in penalties. We are unable to comment on the other companies playing music later than the set curfew. We are pleased that these improvements didn't detract from your time in Croatia and onboard your cruise.

Sail Croatia

The food made by the chef was brilliant and varied every day. The air conditioning was so powerful in our rooms that it made sleeping in them so easy and satisfying. Some of the optional excursions were well run and an enjoyable experience (particularly the zip wiring and the buggies)

Mr

The staff and the other passengers were amazing and made the week one of my best trips ever!

- Stephen, 14/08/2017 05:19, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing against all odds.

The cruise was poorly planned in regards to ratios for solo travellers. All dudes and all in a group already leaves little for a solo traveller to appreciate. Having said that the crew made the trip. With particular mention to Georgia. Her commitment to people on the ship (not appreciated by all) created an experience that redeemed sail croatia in my eyes. Her work and professionalism is the only reason I would recommend Sail Croatia to my mates travelling in groups. Great week but not without the hard work of the rep and the crew.

Aboard the tuna

The crew on board were great they were always good for a laugh and willing to help out with any issues, the tuna was a better boat than i expected and i would happy sail on the ship again, this was a truly unique experience made even more special by the crew

Amazing experience

Everything went perfectly on Amadeus, the ship I have been booked on. Breakfast, lunch, cocktail bar, excusions, you can trust in them. The bad point stays the importance of Australian people which represent easily more than 80% of ship populations. A perfect english understanding is thus necessary.

Such a treasure

The best part of this trip is definitely the places that we went to that made my experience so rememberable. I did everything that I wanted to do out of this trip. Dubrovnik, Korcula, Mljet, Hvar, such beautiful places to see and to explore. I will definitely book another cruise like this in the future to revisit these places again.

Best week of my life

Went on Split Return Navigator cruise on the Premier ship - Pacific. Great ship and facilities. Met and exceeded my expectations but lacked on the tour operator quality. Unfortunately he was shared between another ship, of which we were never introduced to (heard heaps of other ships being docked out in the ocean together and having parties), gave us very vague and little detail on the activities and plans for the day. Also had poor recommendations for restaurants, bars and clubs that suited the tastes of our group. Found better prices by ourselves for activities not run through him and better bars, restaurants and clubs. But, apart from that Sail-Croatia was an insanely amazing week, and massive appreciation to the efforts and kindness of Shima and M (barman) who made the experience that much better. Would join Sail-Croatia again in a heartbeat

Thank you for your review. It's so good to hear that this was the best week of your life and that you found the ship Pacific to be a great overall. We are also pleased to know the cruise exceeded your expectations. However, we are sorry to hear of your disappointments. We had two ships scheduled on this departure date and cruise type, and your rep was solely responsible for both ships. I'm really sorry to hear you were given very little information about daily activities and scheduling, and poor recommendations for available bars, clubs and restaurants. All our representatives are given appropriate training prior to the season. We acknowledge that further training may be required for your rep to ensure he is up to standards to exude all the qualities our reps are known for; helpful, friendly, professional and informative - your comments have been passed on to our Operations Team to investigate further. Thank you for your comments here. Overall we are very pleased to know that you had an amazing week with special mention to Shima and M (the barman) - we will be sure to pass your comments on to them to enjoy. We hope to have you back soon to enjoy another week with us.

Sail Croatia experience

Staff was excellent, food was even better (although small portions).

- Christian , 19/06/2017 07:22, Travelled with Friend/s

Been on better fishing trawellers

Overall the cruise was good!! The boat looked the oldest and most run down compared to others and other companies next to us with tiny bunks and had about 10 deckchairs that were falling apart for 30 plus people. I even emailed before hand to try and secure a decent vessel but was told it's basically a lucky dip. Won't recommend sail Croatia.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your Navigator cruise. We are proud of all the ships in our fleet and work hard to ensure that all ships in each category maintain a similar standard, so I am sorry to read that you were not happy with the Standard ship you had booked. Each ship is unique in style with some modern in style and others a more rustic style. Not all ships can provide deck chairs for all passengers due to the space on the main deck. However, we will be looking into the quality of the deck chairs for future cruises. We do have a range of ship types available, and our Premier ships are much more spacious in comparison to our Standard ships as there is limited cabin space on this ship type. Thank you again for your review.

Great Week - Here is my opinion

The Sail Croatia Navigator cruise was an excellent week of meeting new people, discovering new places and taking in some sea and sightseeing. Our boat name was \"the navigator\" which was a premier ship. The rooms were a good size and the beds comfortable. Our bathroom was perfect and the shower had great pressure. The meals were very standard and salty (think there could be improvement here). Our barman Mladin (Mika) transformed our ship into the amazing vibe it was. Mika was the life of the party and you can only be lucky to have this guy around. The other staff were also great. My only negative comment is that i found our boat leader Andy to be very apathetic and quite stand-off. He didnt make the activities sound attractive and treated the group like strict teacher. i felt like i was in school at lunch everyday. I know it was one of his last weeks for the season but its no reason to be so negative and demotivating. All in all i thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend it

- Darren , 12/09/2016 08:48, Travelled with Friend/s

Had a blast

The places we sailed were beautiful and the vibes on the boat at night before we went out were amazing. We had a great group and made some friends for life. We plan to meet up somewhere in the world for a reunion.

- Ian, 05/09/2016 07:20, Travelled with Friend/s

SV VID ❤️

The experience that I had on our boat over the duration of the Split-Dubrovnik route was on the best weeks of my life. The combination of a great group that gelled well and got along on all levels as well as a responsive and organised cabin crew made for an amazing week. The ability for us as customers to interact so closely with the crew was unbelievable. The only feedback I could give would be for more organised Sail Croatia reps. A lot of the time we were given inconsistent and contradictory information about excursions, arrivals, night events and it was very hard to get a hold of someone each day to talk to. The morning address and arrival information feels very rushed, maybe assign a rep to each boat? More onboard medical facilities would be amazing, especially medicine to treat bee stings for those allergic!!

MR

The food was spot on, I was expecting less but very nice, the lunches were the best meals had on the boat. Swim stops and the amount of time (Sometimes we got to elect to stay longer which we always did). Information along the way, would have been nice to have one single contact the whole time but was helpful information about restaurants and discounts.

- Adam, 22/08/2016 11:42, Travelled with Friend/s

Azimut

Food was really good! Not enough time for swim spots. Cabin was good except for the smell coming out of the drain pipe in the shower. The places we docked at were amazing especially Mljet. Overall it's a good cruise

- Denis, 22/08/2016 07:51, Travelled with Friend/s

Awsome time

The boat cabin (tvrdi) was cramped and stifling hot, the beer on the boat was a little more expensive than expected, but it was all worth it for one hell of a time! 38 people who all had one thing in common. They wanted to make memories (and lose some). If it's a party you want the navigator cruise is your choice. DEEP CLUB, HULA HULA, CARPE DIEM AND BOOGIE JUNGLE are the nights to be excited for. Stay AWAY from revelling in dubrovnik.

- Martyn, 22/08/2016 03:44, Travelled Solo

Would go again

Everyone was friendly (after a couple days people really bonded etc) Activities were good Ship was good Food was amazing Rooms were decent

Two single males forced to share a double bed

Over all it was good. However, receiving an email that you have been put into a double room the afternoon before departure was a really big downside. I booked 4 months in advance and somehow that was still not enough time to put us in a twin single room. Upon receiving the email I immediately asked if it were possible to change to a twin single room. I received a reply and told it was not possible due to ship configuration. At the time I thought fair enough, we must have booked last hence why we've been put in this situation. Once we were on the ship, and got to know the others on board we saw some of their rooms. The twin single rooms were so much more convenient and I dare say spacious! Now I was annoyed. The icing on the cake was finding out that people who had booked several months after us were not put in the predicament that was forced upon us. In the future, don't email customers last minute to inform them they HAVE TO share a double bed!! Kind regards, Deni

Thank you for your feedback, it's great to hear you had a good time overall. We confirm the ship name 1 week prior to departure, and shortly after we finalise the cabin allocation - we try and ensure this is done as soon as possible however may only be possible a couple of days before departure to accommodate any last minute bookings and changes we may receive. On some occasions it isn't always possible to accommodate passengers with their requested bedding arrangements due to the nature of bookings and the configuration of cabins as each boat is unique in style. However, we do understand your points raised and are looking at improving our system here for next season. We do hope that this didn't detract too much from your time in Croatia and hope you enjoyed your cruise overall. Thank you again for your review.

Masteral is the best boat.

Somehow our boat the maestral was the most fun and loudest boat on the water. Everyone was on the same page and having a great time. Dario is a champion!

- Jeremy, 11/08/2016 08:05, Travelled with Friend/s

Cheers Alex

The Great Coastal Getaway

Travelling Solo was a great way to experience this Sail week. Met so many new friends and all the staff were amazing on board, always wanted us to have a good time and would met our needs on any situation. Great to see so many areas of Croatia and were well informed on each spot we docked up. It is a trip you make what you make of it so a positive vibe and the willingness to try something new at every opportunity will see an epic week had and shared with others. Cant recommend it enough, but would do it again in a heart beat

- Samuel, 17/07/2016 14:46, Travelled Solo

Amazing trip

The staff and the other guests on the cruise were awesome and they made the whole trip very special. Only criticisms I had were very minor. (Wasn't allowed cheese and bacon in my omelette, only one or the other. Ice in drinks was hard to come, 1 litre of water wasn't enough and wifi was a bit dodgey) Very minor but if I'm paying top dollar for the premier plus boat I would think small things like should be available. On a side note things like stand up paddles boards on the boat for use during swim stops would be the coolest thing ever! Just a suggestion. Overall I still had an amazing time and would definitely come back if I had the chance. Thank you for a lovely week.

- Tristan, 15/07/2016 09:27, Travelled with Family

Sail Croatia

The group we were matched with, to improve the tour however Id recommend that you stay more than 1 night in Hvar.

- Tyson, 04/07/2016 13:35, Travelled with Friend/s

Crazy awesome adventure

The cruise was such an amazing experience. We sawill beautifull landscapes, old forts and crazy hectic nightclubs all in the space of a very intense but also relaxing week. The highlights were defiantly waking up with the boat moving and stopping near a beautiful island to go swimming, the awesome lunches and the awesome nightlife. The extra activities though are very overpriced but chilling on the boat is just as good. The sail croatia representative was a bit disorganised and kept changing deadlines and then getting grumpy. Defiantly worth it though, great week.

Mlini- tri nations

Where do i start... the crew of the mlini made the trip that much more enjoyable! Nikola when he wasn't busy serving us drinks, he was always out having a good laugh with us no matter what time of the day or night it was! The great bambino (chef) after slaving away in the kitchen he would show off his magic tricks and joke around with the crew! The sailors Andelko and ivan, always kept the boat extremely clean and presentable, all day always cleaning, when they had spare time they would join in for a swim and a laugh. Captain Gordan had some rough seas ahead but his experience sailed us through ever so gently unscathed, couldn't have asked for a better captain. Igor our rep, his vast knowledge of croatia was amazing, passing on his local information on towns! The mixture of australians,south africans and kiwis on board, definitely made friends for life!! To top it off Croatia is an amazingly beautiful country! Absolutely loved every minute!

Great way of visiting Croatia

First time in Croatia but I would not imagine a better way of visiting. The visited location were well selected and the days' programs were well planned so that we have enjoyed the locations and excursions. And of course, special thanks to lovely crew!!
