Cannot say enough about this bike/cruise we took with Sail Croatia. Perfect weather, excellent staff & crew on our ship (the COLUMBO), small sized passenger group (twenty four in all, making for relaxed, easy mingling, creative and delicious use of food on board, and just wonderful stops all along the Southern Route, SPLIT to DUBROVNIK. I wish we'd had more time to double back and do the Northern route as well, as some of our fellow passengers had done. Perhaps we'll get back soon! Truly, the trip of a Lifetime.

The whole staff, meals and boat were amazing. Our guides Miranda and Matilda made sure we had a great safe bike ride and had good stories to tell at each stop. Thoroughly enjoyed the riding, swimming and good times.

The hospitality and coordination were top-notch, and the crew couldn’t have been more welcoming. Our chef wowed us with mouthwatering meals every single day. As for the tour guides—they were incredible! They always knew exactly where to find the best coffee!

My wife and I experienced our first trip to Croatia aboard the Mali Ante on the Split Southern Return voyage along with 30 of our friends. The ship's crew were amazong. Ivan, Mario, Ilea, and Captain Ivica. were all so friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. (If you like a good cocktail, be sure to order the Mario Special.) Chef Ivica and sous chef Antonio prepared delicious food, including traditional Croatian cuisine for the Captain's dinner, hearty lunches for post-cycling recovery, and breakfasts that fueled us up for our rides. Speaking of the rides, I can't say enough good things about our guides, Tonka and Sanja. Every morning they would give us a detailed briefing about the day's journey; the length, difficulty, water stops, road conditions, etc. Tonka's humor put even the inexperienced cyclists at ease, and Sanja was so informative with her stories about the islands and the towns we rode through. We are already planning a return to beautiful Croatia. Puno hvala!

This is one of the best examples of an ‘Expedition’ Cruise. The combination of exercise with beautiful scenery, camaraderie, swimming in the Adriatic, food & beverages and great company was an amazing experience.

We had a wonderful time on the Biking cruise and it was largely due to the efforts of the Crew of the Mali Ante and our guides, Tonka and Sanja. From the moment we set foot on board, the crew took care of our every need, often before we asked. The food prepared by Chef was fantastic, and the service from Ivan and Mario in the saloon was exceptional. Tonka and Sanja worked very well together as a team for the bike riding and the touring with very detailed information about both and always making us laugh and smile. These women are top-notch and I would trust them to take care of guests in every situation. I can't believe how quickly the week passed by and I wasn't ready for the trip to end. I highly recommend a trip with this crew and these guides to anybody considering a trip in beautiful Croatia.

What a fun way to see Croatia for the first time. Sailing the Adriatic sea with stunning views everywhere one looked. The rides brought us to amazing views we would not have found otherwise. The crew of the Maliante was professional, skilled and kind. Special call out to the chef. Such amazing meals. Tonka led each ride with clarity, route knowledge and a great sense of humor. Sanjay guided us through Croatuon culture and history with engaging story times. She was went above and beyond in finding us dinner and cocktail recommendations and reservations. The whole trip is highly recommended

The boat was immacuateley kept and all the crew were very obliging. the guides Mirander and Martin were also very informative and helpful with any requests.

Our sail/cycle cruise with Sail Croatia was the highlight of our trip. From great company, good food and a wonderful itinerary and marvelous crew our expectations were exceeded.
- ralph, 26/06/2025 14:56, Travelled in a Couple
We heard from two unrelated friends about Sail Croatia and it definitely met my expectations. Our guides, Miranda and Martin were amazing. They were organized, kind, and great communicators. The food was amazing and the cycling spectacular. We made new friends and had plenty of time to relax, swim in the perfectly clear Adriatic Sea, play games, tour the cities, and create amazing memories. I want to do it again as soon as possible.
- Rob, 24/06/2025 17:35, Travelled in a Couple
This trip was absolutely outstanding and I would recommend this to everybody. . The team from Sail Croatia our guides (Ivica & Mario) did an outstanding job looking after the 29 people on the boat & riding. Everyone one on this trip got on really well. The boat Emanuel whilst built in the mid 50's was in outstanding condition and their crew looked after the boat like it was brand new. The riding pace was generally easy with an e/bike and we covered more km's than advertised which was great.. Ivica & Mario stoped and gave great information several times during each ride. Would love to do another Sail Croatia bike trip.

Brilliant crew and cycle guides Good bikes Nice balance between cycling and other activities Swim stop every day at least once a day Excellent food Nice company Smooth check in Crew could not be more helpful.
- Paul, 23/06/2025 06:42, Travelled in a Couple
The tour managers (Ivan and Lucija) were fun and knew the right balance of professionalism and attentiveness. The bar manager/ waiter (Andre) was ever present and thoughtful. The crew were flexible to the requests of the Group e.g. additional stops for swimming off the back of the boat.
- Mark, 21/06/2025 14:50, Travelled in a Couple
The stops and bike rides were absolutely wonderful. Ivan and Lucy were great guides taking us to places that really showed Croatia. It was one of the most enjoyable trips I've been on and the highlight of our tour through Europe.
- David, 21/06/2025 04:51, Travelled in a Couple
Our e-bike adventure from Dubrovnik to Split exceeded our expectations. Great fellow travelers, friendly and helpful crew and a casual but professionally run tour. Breakfast and lunch on the ship and dinners out at a different island every night was just so fun!
- David, 19/06/2025 16:35, Travelled in a Couple

We had an amazing time on the Mali Ante. The crew looked after us well. Great food great people. Loved our guides Miranda and Tonka.. Enjoyed the ‘story time’’ and the humour on our rides as well as the organization and shuffling of schedules along the way. It’s made our experience memorable without having the stress of organizing things for ourselves. We were recommended this trip from others from Canada., and we are thankful for everything. We made many friends and hope to see you all in the future. Mark and Donna from Canada.

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.

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.
- Paul, 16/06/2025 05:26, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Terry , 16/06/2025 04:03, Travelled Solo
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.

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!!

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.

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.

- 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

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.
