We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik, with our captain Ivan. It was such a great week, everything was first class and the knowledge of Ivan just topped off our week.

I really enjoyed our crew and our tour guide, Anita. They were wonderfully attentive to our needs and refreshing to be around. I will highly recommend this ship and crew to our friends.

From start to finish the cruise and the staff exeeded our expectations , what a wonderful experience. We are already discussing our next cruise !!
- David, 10/06/2025 06:26, Travelled with Family
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
The crew were amazing and helped out whenever necessary, Clara our Rep was very helpful and friendly. The experience was amazing and the people we met have become friends for life
- Erin, 05/06/2025 17:18, Travelled with Family
Not only was the location of the cruise stunning but the experience was made so much better by the crew of Salve de Mare and our guide Vicko. Every day was laid out for us in advance with advice on the best excursions and places to visit. The crew of the ship was always attentive and the food was delicious. Vicko was personable, knowledgeable and truly cared about our experience. Overall, the entire trip from start to finish was annazing and made for one of if not the best trips of my life.

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
The most amazing week on-board Tuna. Ceili was an awesome tour guide - engaging with the group and showing us the best of Croatia; as well as giving us the necessary history and keeping us on-time. The captain took us to the most beautiful swim stops and Leo was fabulous behind the bar mixing up cocktails!! Toper was always quick to assist when needed and Maren made up tasty meals. We had a great group too and nobody was left out. A week that I won't forget anytime soon and will hopefully be back in the next few years!! Thank you Ceili and crew for making the week extra speical :)

The locations and crew were outstanding. Our guides Mario and Marin were full of knowledge and stressed safe riding. The crew on the boat were also very good. The booking process was less than stellar. My son and I were assigned a room with one double bed, not two singles. Since are large people, it did not work. He slept under the bed. Booking knew the assignment but would not/could not change it. Serious screw up by the office staff.
- Larry, 30/05/2025 15:08, Travelled with Family
Hi Larry, thank you for your review and for your kind words about our guides and crew – we’re delighted you enjoyed the overall experience. We regret to read about your booking experience. As outlined in our FAQs, cabin types vary by ship and are based on 2 people sharing – with configurations including twin beds, bunk beds, or one double bed. Whilst preferences can be requested at booking, we cannot guarantee specific layouts due to each ship’s unique cabin setup and limited availability. Final cabin allocations are confirmed a week before departure. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again.
The boat was immaculate. A credit to the skipper and crew. The guides Mika and Lola were fantastic.
- Warwick , 28/05/2025 10:50, Travelled with Family
The boat was great and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the swim stops and all the ports Definitely recommend.
- Eric, 27/05/2025 23:01, Travelled with Family
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
- Ken, 27/05/2025 15:54, Travelled with Family
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!

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
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
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
Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.
- Dulce, 27/10/2024 04:07, Travelled with Family
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.

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!

Swim stops were cancelled due to weather without consulting passengers. Some activities were cancelled either because of equipment malfunction. A better hostess would be good.
- Malcolm , 07/10/2024 06:54, Travelled with Family
Hi Malcolm - thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you found us to be a good company to travel with. For everyone's safety, we were sorry to see that a swim stop wasn't possible due to the unusually poor weather conditions, and we understand this affected your experience. We’re pleased to see that the hostess received all 5-star reviews for your departure. Once again thank you for your feedback.
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
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
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
The cabins were cold and the first nigt on board the boat we could hardly sleep due to the chill in the cabin. We could not control the tempreture in the cabin. The cabin had lower standard than we expected. The food served on board was not good.Breakfast was good but lunch and grill could have been better.. I had the feeling during the trip that we were alwayes in a hurry. and the cykling tours not relaxed.Not much time for fotos or to observe the scenery etc. Nevertheless we enjoyed the trip.The staff was friendly and helpful at all times.
- Pall, 26/09/2024 17:53, Travelled with Family
Hi Pall, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your trip and found our staff friendly and helpful, though we're sorry to learn that some aspects didn't meet your expectations. Regarding the temperature in your cabin, we’d like to mention that the AC units onboard also have a heating function. Our Onboard Rep would have been more than happy to assist with this, had they been made aware of your discomfort. We appreciate your feedback on the meals. While breakfast met expectations, we'll pass your comments on to our team regarding the lunches served. In terms of the cycling pace, our Cycle cruises are designed for the more active traveler who enjoys a faster-paced itinerary. However, for those seeking a more relaxed experience with plenty of time to take in the scenery and capture photos, we offer other options such as our Explorer or Elegance cruises. These might be more suited to a leisurely travel experience in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back onboard soon for another adventure.
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
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
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

Unbelievable places, once in a lifetime activities and a fantastic crew. Lateah our trip manager was a brilliant guide. Always up for a good time, knowledgeable beyond her years and extremely approachable amidst ever changing circumstances. Highly recommend. Tommy the waiter on our boat was also a 10/10, always went above and beyond, very funny and down to earth guy.

Bartul and Miranda were the best guides! They did a great job discussing the history and culture of the areas we were biking through. They were charismatic, patient, fun and genuinely interested in everyone on the ship. The presentations of the upcoming bike rides were informative and prepared us well for the difficulty of each ride. Bartul and Miranda went above and beyond to make our vacation amazing!
- Zach, 09/09/2024 17:02, Travelled with Family
Excellent pre and post sales service, with regular follow-up from Sail Croatia with lots of useful information and a very good customer portal. Our boat Morpheus was amazing and was beautifully presented and clean. When we arrived in Dubrovnik, the Sail Croatia pre-departure service was very good. At our destination in Split, the team led by Tsvetan were very friendly and helpful….eg: in helping us to store luggage. Airport transfers were very well organised and the drivers very personable. Our skipper, Marko, was awesome……friendly, professional, safe and very knowledgable, which meant he was able to tailor our 7 days from Dubrovnik to Split perfectly to our likes and needs. A big thanks to Marko and the Sail Croatia Team for a perfect week.
- James, 04/09/2024 21:10, Travelled with Family
I think the best thing about our week was the kindest, hospitality and liveliness of our crew particular Mario. It was clear that these people went above and beyond their duties and expectations to allow us to all have an enjoyable week. Mario was a fantastic tour guide he was knowledgeable in all aspects, was very able to manage the 36 people crew and an absolute genuine mate. It was the efforts of Mario that made my experience with sail Croatia as good as it was. Highlights of the trip was definitely being able to swim off the boat in the middle of the bays or oceans that we anchored up at and just float around. All the people enjoyed this experience which allowed all of us to be on the same paper to swim, enjoy the sun and party at night. I have made lifelong friends on this trip and for this I am grateful that we chose to do sail week to see Croatia. Thank you again to Mario, Isabel, Big Daddy, George and the other crew for their hospitality over the week.

We had an unforgettable week on the Blackbird catamaran with Sail Croatia. The whole team was fantastic, and the boat was in great condition—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group. The highlight of our trip, though, was our incredible skipper, Nikola. His knowledge of the area, from recommending beautiful destinations to great restaurants, made the experience truly special. He was professional, thoughtful, and knew when to give us space, especially at swim spots, while always being there when needed. Nikola’s kindness, expertise, and genuine care made the week amazing. Big thanks to Nikola and the entire Sail Croatia team for an outstanding experience!

Sasa, Lucy and all the cooks and captain deserve to be paid 10x more after looking after the 42 of us for the week, honestly the best week of my life but might need to wait at least a week or 2 before going again. Sasa is a god ❤️
