Croatian Cruse

We sailed on Olimp with Captain George and crew. What an amazing vessel to sail through the islands of Croatia. Special and luxurious. Our rooms were large with plenty of wardrobe space for 2 and a full bathroom with nice shower pressure. The bed was comfy, just need to adjust to seperate blankets each. The food was lovely onboard. Good portions and a mixed variety everyday. The cabins were cleaned daily, although daily fresh towels would be a great inclusion as drying space was scarce. A great variety of booze is available on board, that possibility could be offered as a pre-sail package at an extra cost opposed to settling a bar tab at the end. All non alcoholic drinks should be included for the cost of the cruise. The cruise had amazing stops along the way with great island exploring options. Days lazing on the sundeck, swimming at magical spots or chilling in the jacuzzi are just perfect. Our cruise manager Lola couldn’t be sweeter and couldn’t do more for us. All staff were A+

Amazing

Our 7 night elegance cruise from Split to Dubrovnik exceeded our expectations. The Olimp vessel features larger than expected rooms, and is spotless. The crew works constantly to keep the boat pristine and to make sure that passengers have whatever they need. The captain and crew did a super job of parking in tight spots making it look seamless. Our tour director, Lola, was excellent and knowledgeable. Meals were delicious. The best way to experience Croatia.

Dream fulfilled

What a week! Could not find fault with anything provided. The walks were breathtaking and the guides were responsive to individual needs, Special shout out to Hana and Mata for looking after us all. The food was exceptional and each member of the crew was always ready with a smile to fulfil our needs. However, one niggle. In the itinerary there were 3 optional excursions available as part of this trip. Unfortunately the management had not mentioned this to the guides. Red faces all round. To give Hana and Mata their due they pulled a wine tasting trip out of the bag which was thoroughly enjoyed by those that attended.

Sail Croatia Emanual

We had a fantastic time during our 7 day cycling trip with Sail Croatia. Our guides Ivan and Sanya were fantastic. They were organized, informative and fun. The daily bike trips we took were fun, challenging and breathtaking. We liked sailing on a smaller boat. The Emanual had a lot of character. The crew was great and very helpful. The food was good, too.

Fabulous Croatia Cruise

Our friends and us were on the Romantic Star wine cruise and had the most lovely cruise meeting wonderful new friends. We were so fortunate to have been treated to amazing wine experiences and beautiful sights by our terrific guide Klara. The boat was modern with plenty of gathering places for calm time as well as a spacious lounge for socializing. The bed rooms are spacious and kept immaculate by their staff person. The island hopping was all the more amazing with private swimming stops along the way. We were graced with wonderful food prepared everyday on board. The captain, crew, bartenders, cooks and cleaning staff were impressive and professional. Will cherish the memories from this wonderful Sail Croatia cruise!!

Our Cycling guides were fantastic

Our guides were phenomenal and the south islands we visited were stunning. Nearly everyone had ebikes and were happy with that choice as there were lots of steep sections. Whilst some rooms on the Emmanuel yacht are tiny and they could do a few tiny things to improve the dining experience, over all it was AWESOME and would recommend! If you can afford it, I’d pay the extra to go on the more luxurious yacht (but that’s just me).

What a fantastic trip. We have fallen for the Islands of Brac, Hvar, Korcula and Mljet. The crew and cycle guides were amazing and we were part of a delightful group of passengers. Already thinking of another cruise to see more of Croatia.

Amazing way to see the Dalmatian islands

This was our first time in Croatia and first time being on a small boat cruise like this. Everything was perfect. The cabin was very large and very comfortable. All our needs were met.The food was amazing, the crew, friendly, and our guides, compassionate and informative. The hikes were challenging in a good way and Mate (primary guide) always provided easier alternatives if desired . We are a ‘moderately active’ couple (56 and 66) for reference, and enjoyed meeting the other couples on board. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and am considering doing another trip with them !

Great time! Great way to see Croatia!

Our experience with Sail Croatia on board the Princeza Diana was wonderful! Ivica and Antonio were great cycling guides. They kept us all safe, and adjusted our rides when rain was expected. Each ride was carefully explained and all levels of rider was encouraged, and cared for. Antonio gave us great and spot on recommendations for things to do and places to eat when on shore. The food on board was fresh, plentiful, Croatian and delicious. The service staff were kind, efficient and friendly. One BIG disappointment was that we asked for a double bed when we made our reservations. At NO point were we informed that this would not be a possibility until the week of departure. We contacted Sail Croatia when we found out we had been assigned 2 twin beds and they told us there were only 3 double beds on board (a single guy ended up getting one of them!) and they could not accommodate us. We feel that advertising was very misleading! The twin beds could not be pushed together. Be aware!

Beautiful Croatia

We had a great time cycling to different islands, just the right amount of cycling and leisure. Learning about the history of the places we visited and exploring the towns. Staff were amazing and cycling guides were the best.

Flawless trip

What a memorable trip down the coast of Croatia. The boat was beautiful & well kept, cabin was spacious and the staff of the Olimp was phenomenal. They made the trip flawless. I would highly recommend SailCroatia.

Mary

I was a solo traveler, traveling with my daughter and son-in-law and also with longtime friends, my college roommate and her husband. The cruise was great! We had amazing weather and calm seas. Every port offered a beautiful new experience. The wine tastings were so varied and offered lots of wine! The swim stops were a refreshing and unique part of this cruise. The cabins were well appointed and spacious. Our fellow passengers were fun loving, and we made many shared memories together. Klara was a super tour manager. She was very knowledgeable, fun and helpful. The captain and sailing crew along with Ivo and Mio, our bartenders and wait staff, made the cruise even more special. Cheers to Sail Croatia and the crew of Esperanza 09/27 - 10/04/2026!

Best Crew. Best Time.

It was the most beautiful vacation I've had with the best crew and environment. Marin, Neno, Petra, Tino, Charlie and the rest of the crew I'm sorry I can't remember names were simply top notch in every way. Great balance of personal time and free time to explore along with events with other passengers and excursions etc. The ONLY constructive thing to add would be to either ensure the hot tub actually works and has hot water and also ensure you somehow plan for excursions and timing of dinners so there's enoujgh hot water for many showers in a short period of time. I highly recommend and would love to be able to take this same cruise again someday.

Terrific Experience - Thank you

We had a wonderful experience biking and sailing on the Adriatic. The guides and the ship's crew did everything possible to make the experience outstanding. Many thanks to Sasa and Andro, biking around the Adriatic Islands and the history lessons added so much to the experience. Our food server and cook were outstanding. Food was plentiful and very good. Ship's crew met all our needs in a timely manner and the Captain gave us interesting tour of the mechanical spaces of the boat. I hope I can return someday to complete another cruise.

Excellent bike and boat trip

My husband and I had never done a guided bike and boat trip before, and the guides were so helpful, knowledgeable and concerned for our safety, we felt very well taken care of. The scenery was spectacular, the bikes were well fit and maintained and the routes chosen were exceptional. The addition of the history knowledge provided by Marin was a wonderful asset, and Martin was so helpful and accommodating as well.

An Incredible Week Aboard MS Contessa 🇭🇷

Our week aboard MS Contessa was incredible! The crew made us feel welcome from day one, with Tino and Charlie going above and beyond to help us settle in. Marin was an outstanding cruise manager, keeping everything organised while bringing plenty of laughs, great local knowledge and fantastic recommendations to every stop. A special shoutout to Petra and Nano, who were absolute legends! Their warmth, humour and infectious energy made the atmosphere onboard so much fun. They went beyond great service, making everyone feel welcome and helping create some of our favourite memories of the trip. They’re a massive credit to the Contessa team! The food was excellent,the rooms were comfortable and the boat was spotless (thanks joy)The daily swimming stops in Croatia’s crystal-clear waters were a highlight, especially the quieter spots away from the crowds. We couldn’t recommend MS Contessa more highly. The crew made this an unforgettable experience, and we’d do it all again in a heartbeat!

Croatia is Beautiful

Our Split to Dubrovnik cycle tour on Columbo ticked all the boxes! Marin & Martin were excellent guides who went above and beyond to help make our trip very enjoyable. Highly recommend using e-bikes as the tour will flow better for the group.

Dubrovnik to Split

Cruise was very nice. Relaxing, staff was attentive, food very good and the boat was really nice. Cabins on smaller side but you shouldn’t spend time in your room when the scenery is so beautiful and there are many places to be up on deck. Advice I have is to spend more time in Split , Hvar and Korchula and skip Mljet.

Mali Luka ‘More Better’

The cycling boat trip was the perfect mix or relaxation and sight seeing with a nice blend of activity. Sasa and Andro were fantastic tour managers and the rest of the boat crew made our lives easy working seamlessly under Ivan our captain who could park the boat on a dime. We had great group who just got on well together all of which was helped by the hard work and playful nature of the Sail Croatia crew

Excellent week of sailing and cycling

We had a fabulous experience with Sail Croatia’s cycling week from Dubrovnik to Split. The islands we visited offered nicely varied experiences and the cycling routes were challenging but rewarding. Cycle guide, Andro, explained the details of each day’s itinerary before we set off, making sure that we were challenged and supported at all times. Everyone was catered for. Swim stops, coffee stops and sneaky gelatos complemented our riding nicely. Cruise coordinator, Sasa, was an excellent organiser and cycling support. His knowledge of history and local customs completed a wonderful holiday. . Sasa and Andro are a thoughtful, professional and entertaining double act. We were in good hands. The Mila Luka crew, chef, photographer and captain were friendly and helpful throughout the week. We would recommend the experience to anyone who has a sense of adventure and wants to visit this beautiful country. The meals were also excellent. Thank you Sail Croatia.

Contessa

Fantastic week on board the Contessa! Great crew overall. Marin did an outstanding with activities. Tino and Charlie did a great job with docking and keeping the boat spotless. Neno and Petra were behind the bar, keeping us hydrated. We visited beautiful coastal cities with rich history and architecture. The highlights were our daily swim stops in crystal clear water. Total of 35 passengers on board from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. Just a fantastic group of people! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and the Contessa!

- Paul, 10/10/2026 17:18, Travelled in a Couple

great time on Contessa

We had a great trip on the Contessa. The staff was amazing, the chefs provided nice meals and were happy to accommodate various dietary needs. Joy kept our cabins clean. Tino and Charlie kept us safe on our swim stops and had some great music playing. Petra and Neno made sure we had excellent cocktails in the afternoon and cappuccinos in the morning! And a HUGE thank you to Marin. He always had a smile on his face and great advice for all of our stops. The ship itself was beautiful and comfortable. The swim stops were my favorite part of the week. It was hard to get out of the water every day. I tend to get seasick but had no problems at all on this boat. If you are thinking of booking, I highly recommend the Contessa! If you go to Vis and like wine, be sure to visit Mvsevm. They have a huge selection of wine. Family owned and knowledgeable.

Excellent adventure on the Mali Luka, Sail-Croatia, cycle and sail tour.

Excellent holiday!! Perfect weather. The e-bikes are well maintained, very user friendly. Our berth and boat did not disappoint. Our guides (Sasa & Andro) were very knowledgeable, fun and ensured our safety at all times. Highly recommend them. Our Captain, Cook and all our sailing crew were very accommodating, respectful and all around amazing! Breakfasts and lunches were ample and delicious!!! We appreciated the strong morning coffee:) Highlights also included, swimming off the boat, cycling/touring the beautiful Croatian islands and of course the wonderful new friends from 'around the world' we shared our week with!!

Best vacation we have taken!

We had never done any kind of sail or cruise before and I have to say that we picked an amazing one for our first time. Croatia is beautiful! Sail Croatia did a great job of setting the sail schedule and the excursions for each island. Mario, our sail guide, was tremendous. He always offered great recommendations for meals and things to do. We were so pleased with our entire experience. We will never forget the beautiful places we saw or the great people we got to know on the sail.

Amazing Experience!! Highly Recommend

I just got back from Sail Croatia's Split to Dubrovnik yacht tour and honestly loved every second of it. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel at home. They were friendly, knew the coastline inside and out, and somehow kept everything running smoothly while making it feel completely relaxed. Every day was something new: swim stops in water so clear it didn't look real, wandering through little island towns, and sunsets on deck that I'll be thinking about for a long time. The itinerary struck a great balance between exploring and just switching off, and the boat itself was comfortable and well kept. The group vibe was a huge bonus too. You start the week with strangers and end it with friends. If you're thinking about seeing the Croatian coast, this is the way to do it. Already trying to figure out when I can go back. Thank you to the whole Sail Croatia team!

Wonderful week with Sail Croatia

Our cycling trip from Dubrovnik to Split with rides through the beautiful countryside on Croatian islands was awe inspiring. Our guides, Sasa and Andro were professional, knowledgeable, and kind. The whole crew on the Mali Luka was hardworking and helpful. We went with friends and made new ones and the experience was educational, uplifting and fun. Croatia is beautiful and a wonderful place to travel and we’re glad we did it with Sail Croatia.

Amazing week on catamaran Spellbound

Our week on Spellbound was fantastic! There were 9 of us (4 couples and a single). Great space on board with several different spots to relax and never felt cramped. 9 of us enjoyed absolutely delicious breakfasts and lunches prepared by Matea, all able to eat together at the outside back table or at the galley table inside. Both Matea and Skipper Mislav were great, fun, friendly and responsive hosts! The 4 ensuite cabins were comfortable with queen beds. The only small downsides were the smaller interior cabin for our single was less spacious/better suited for a child vs adult, and we were slightly delayed departing Split ACI due to an electrical issue that was fixed but Sail Croatia was accommodating and able to give us extra time on checkout which was much appreciated . We loved our week on board finding quiet swimspots and visiting the different islands. Thanks for an amazing trip and memories to last a lifetime!

- Rob, 09/10/2026 18:38, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent but some room for improvement

The cruise was wonderful. The stops we made were interesting and the onboard Sail Croatia representative, Lola, was knowledgeable and extremely helpful Crew on the ship were excellent. The main area for improvement was the ship's dining area that was extremely noisy when full for meals to the point where it was nearly impossible to converse; yet we were not allowed to take meals in other parts of the ship. Meals were good but a bit heavy on sauces -the staff did try to accommodate special needs/requests. Finally, there was some small charges (for transportation) that probably could have been rolled into the cruise cost rather than collecting 4 Euros for a bus.

Split - Dubrovnik onboard Contessa

Finding the boat was easy, and the crew were incredibly welcoming. Tino and Charlie, our sailors, even carried our suitcases to our room. Marin, our cruise manager, was fantastic, providing daily updates, great recommendations and organising taxis and transfers when needed. He was great fun and even joined us for activities and dinners. Marin also has a great sense of humour and plenty of local knowledge regarding each location we visited. The food onboard *Contessa* was excellent, with plenty of variety and options for dietary requirements, including gluten-free meals. Our room was spacious, and the entire boat was kept spotless throughout the week. Each day, we visited a different swimming spot, often with no other boats around, making it a unique experience away from the crowds. Petra and Nano, the bar staff, were also incredibly lovely and welcoming. We couldn't recommend this cruise highly enough. The amazing crew, food and destinations made it an unforgettable experience!

Excellent in every way, highly recommend

I don't know where to begin with my praise for our Sail Croatia cruise! Anita was our tour manager & she was absolute GOLD. She was so accommodating & knowledgeable, & she was always able to answer any questions or handle any task we needed. All of our excursions, dinner reservations, etc went off perfectly! Pamela & Lucy took care of so many things it was hard to believe there were only 2 of them! (And Pamela always had a welcoming smile. ♡) They are both excellent bartenders, too! Ella kept our cabin in great shape (& we never saw her do it---she had immaculate timing!) & even helped us find something we had lost. Kudos to our chef & sous-chef (Frane & Aline)! Food is my great love & they provided beautiful & delicious food at every meal. Finally, big thanks to our 2 Josips (sailors) & Captain Gordan for keeping us safe, keeping the ship so beautiful & finding & setting up the very best swim spots! The whole crew worked so hard and we so appreciate them!

- Jenn, 09/10/2026 14:53, Travelled with Family

Wonderful vacation

I would highly recommend a vacation with Sail Croatia. It was a much more intimate experience, traveling with 30 people versus the large cruise ships.. you got to know everybody throughout the week, and having your own personal tour manager… In this case, Anita, was absolutely excellent! She was very helpful and fun. The itinerary was great. And I loved the swim stops. It was nice to have the itinerary. All set for you and great communication by Anita through the WhatsApp with recommendations for restaurants and things to do. All the staff was wonderful.

Trip of a lifetime

A trip of a lifetime with good friends! We enjoyed making new friends, exploring the islands on bicycle and learning about Croatian history and culture. The Mali Luka team made sure we were comfortable and well fed, and our guides, Sasa and Andro, were supportive, knowledgeable, and made even the hardest rides fun. The tour was the perfect combination of guided activities and free time to explore the islands on our own.

Amazing Sail and Cycle with Sail Croatia

We spent a week sailing on the Mali Ante starting and finishing in Split. The ship was wonderful and in person larger than expected so even though all of the cabins were full you never felt crowded. The crew were very professional and fun, and went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. The cycling on the islands is amazing, but. Be sure to look at the routes as this is not a trip for those looking for long hard rides, but rather beautiful leisurely rides with amazing stops along the way. An absolutely perfect vacation. Thank you, Sail-Croatia

Can't say enough positive about this small boat experience. The entire outfit was a pleasure to deal with start to finish.

- Curt, 09/10/2026 12:25, Travelled in a Couple

Croatian islands cruise

Our skipper Bruno was fantastic and great company but the Hansa 548 is poorly designed for sailing. Given that all six of us have many years' experience sailing our own yachts, the Hansa with its electric roller furling main (therefore loose footed and unbattened), jib and genoa, and the automatic tacking jib gave us poor sailing performance and we were relegated to being only passengers. It was surprising that the boat didn't have any fairleads so when moored, on a buoy or tied back at anchor the rubbing of the lines on the hull successfully kept us awake until the wind dropped and the waves dissipated. Clearly this Hansa 548 is not for sailors who want to get the most out of their yacht in any wind condition...

Thoroughly enjoyed our sail bike cruise. Each island had different things to offer and the bike rides ranged from easy to solid. Ana and Toma were great guides and gave us an insight into the history of this beautiful area

Beautiful Islands

We loved sailing and biking through the islands of Croatia. The water is incredible! So clear and wonderful for swimming. The biking pace was faster than expected. That was a little disappointing as we had less time to enjoy the views along the bike routes.

Great times on Sail Croatia

What a well planned trip by the guides and crew. The crew was so friendly and kind and made everyone feel comfortable. They took great care of us and our meals were delicious. Our guides Mario and Natasha were so knowledgeable about the many islands we visited and made everyday an adventure. They were always upbeat and had such a good sense of humor that kept us smiling everyday. What an exceptional experience. I felt lucky to be taking this trip with such a great group of people from so many other countries.. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to really get to experience the islands of Croatia both by boat and by bike. The trip had a great balance of biking, swimming, exploring local towns and enjoying great restaurants. What a wonderful visit to such a beautiful place in the world.

If you are after a relaxing, well organised cruise with some amazing sights to see don’t go past Sail Croatia. We were very lucky to have the beautiful Anita to organise our days. Her communication with us all was beyond expectations. She was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and very caring!! The meals from chef Frane and sous chef Aline were exceptional. Frane was very accommodating if there was a food we did not eat and offered an alternative where he could. The desserts that Aline created were delicious. Captain Gordan and sailors Josip x2 ensured our safe sailing and assistance with our luggage. They also organised our daily swims at the most beautiful spots. Pamela and Lucy offered great table and drink service and maid Ella took care of our cabins. We also lucked out with our fellow travellers- amazing people!! Sail Croatia bravo!!

Split South

Was a really brilliant experience. Met lots of lovely people and saw some wonderful sights. The crew of Katarina were very friendly and helpful. Dino the cruise coordinator was fabulous. Everyday he spoke about where we were going, what we could do. He brought the boat together. Loved the captains dinner was such fun. Food was great, personally a 3 course meal at lunch perhaps a bit too much and would have liked a bit more choice at breakfast. Would absolutely recommend anybody to book this experience.

Great Week!

The vacation overall was very nice. Croatia is a beautiful, old and historic country. Anita was fantastic! It would’ve been difficult to navigate the week without her. The particular boat we were on is beautifully maintained. Thank you to the crew and chefs for their wonderful contribution to our week.

Croatia - exceeded all expectations!

We spent a week at the end of September aboard the Queen Jelena. Travelling with my husband and two other couples we all had an amazing time. A few things of particular note: 1. Our tour director, Anita, was outstanding! She was incredibly organized, helpful and just delightful! Besides keeping everyone on board well informed, she also managed separate bookings, dinner reservations and personal preferences as smoothly as a staff of ten. Everyone on board agreed that Anita really made the trip extra special! 2. The entire crew was top shelf all the way. The boat was immaculate, the service excellent and the food delicious! I was very impressed with how they remembered everyone's food allergies and preferences and managed to deliver exactly what each guest needed. The boat also ran like clockwork! 3. All of the islands we stopped at were unique and special. By cruising thru the islands we had a much different and special experience than simply staying on land. Bravo!

Sun, fun, and kindness - good for the soul

Wonderful - the crew and captain on the ship were fantastic, so very welcoming and helpful, and the biking guides were also kind, helpful, encouraging, flexible (adapting to weather, etc) and positive. Excellent food and Cooks. The weather in September could not have been more perfect for us - such fun anchor swimming in clear refreshing waters, beautiful biking trails/roads, so many little old gorgeous towns and islands, majestic views at the top of hills I am proud to have made it up on an "analog" bike, and coastline. Highly recommend. Shout out to Chappa, Kole, and Augustine. What a great country, with welcoming people, a majority who speak excellent English to accommodate us tourists :)

An Unforgettable Way to Experience Croatia – From Sea to Land

Our Sail Croatia cycle and sail tour was fantastic from start to finish. A huge thank you to our wonderful guides Mario and Taši, whose knowledge and passion brought the culture, history and architecture of Croatia to life on every cycling tour. The boat crew were amazing, our cabin was comfortable with a double bed, and the breakfasts and lunches onboard were delicious. The islands we visited were simply breathtaking — some so beautiful that words can’t describe them. Add the Adriatic Sea, cycling, local culture, food and wine, and you have the perfect Croatian adventure. We shared the trip with 31 wonderful guests from around the world and made some great new friends along the way. If you want to experience Croatia from both sea and land, this is definitely the tour to choose. Highly recommended!

Guest

It was wonderful. We were greeted on land by Hana and she was such a pleasure to meet and enjoy the whole experience with. She was very informative about the history of every port we visited which really helped to go on any excursions that were available. Each swimming stop was always so beautiful Didn't really interact with the rest of the crew except of course the bartenders. Everyone was very nice though and got to meet the Captain at the Captain's dinner and that was very nice also as he sat at our table so got to meet him. My cabin was really nice. I thought I was going to have to share with someone and I got to have it myself so that was a plus. The breakfast and lunches were all very good The things that would make the cruise better are the following: A better wine selection, the house red and white were in a big plastic container so it did start to turn and I changed to Proseco the rest of the trip. Even a boxed wine would keep better for the week if to be poured in bulk.

We had a wonderful week aboard our private yacht. Our skipper Andrija has an intimate knowledge of the islands and secluded bays with magic swimming locations and all the local contacts and restaurant tips to help make our holiday one to remember. We felt in safe hands at all times. It was a joy. Hats off too to the Sail Croatia team for being responsive with all our queries.

Trip of a lifetime!

Biking through the rolling countryside roads filled with olive trees and grape vines is truly intoxicating. It’ll leave you breathless, thank goodness for the e-bikes! We were blessed with the best two guides a girl could ask for! Marin and Martin were exceptional leaders. They stayed with us on our bike rides and even accompanied us through tours of the cities. Marin is a remarkable historian! Every bike ride was filled with history of the land and people, plus fun facts. I don’t think there is a better way to explore a culture. I am already saving money to take another trip!

Olimp Elegance

Wonderful! Improvement must be considered for highly excessive noise level in dining room. Requires acoustical treatment. Disappointing that meals were not served on outside tables! Missing towel bars or hooks to dry swimwear in rooms. Consider reducing swimming frequency for additional dock time at additional locations such as Havar & Split. All staff were very helpful, considerate and friendly!! Beautiful Ship!!!

Cycling in Croatia ( Split to Split)

The holiday was excellent. Well organized and efficiently executed. Great communication both orally and through What’s App! The plans for each day were clear with a good description of what to expect on the ride ( maps, swim stops, road hazards, coffee/lunch stops) and also many suggestions of sites to see during free time. Great staff on the barge as well.. Plenty of food! Accomodations were as expected. Small but each room had its own washroom.😁 Croatia is a gorgeous country , and what a beautiful way to see it by bike and barge..

Spectacular cycling in Croatia

We had a fantastic holiday on a Sail Croatia cycling cruise. It really is the best way to see the islands. The guides are professional and informative. I would advise booking an above deck room. It is also worthwhile knowing that you won’t cycle through/visit Hvar Town due to the island not allowing bike tours in there so consider visiting here before or after your cruise. We loved the whole trip and met some great people.

Two weeks in Croatia on a Lagoon 42

The holiday was good, the sailing experience, I mean, actual sailing was not so good for someone who races keel boats. The jib sheet was twisted up and had to be rerun. The mail sail luff was not able to be tightened adequately, used reef 3 as Cunningham as a work around. Batten cars with bent adjustment. The generator failed due to loose contacts, this took a bit to track down, Still got to 8 kt under sail up wind in 18 to 23 kt wind.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE 🤩

We had such an amazing experience with Sail Croatia,and Ante, our skipper, was absolutely fantastic and really made the trip special. He planned everything so well and took us to places we never would have found on our own. We went bike riding through Mljet national park, swam in the most beautiful crystal-clear water, and visited gorgeous beaches and little hidden spots along the way we would never have even known about. We originally planned on booking a different Sail Croatia boat, but our niece didn’t meet the age requirement. In the end, we’re so glad it worked out that way because having our own private catamaran made the trip even more special. Our whole family agreed we would do this again in a heartbeat. And when we do, we definitely want Ante as our skipper again! Such an unforgettable way to experience beautiful Croatia and see places we never would have seen had it not been for this booking. Thankyou Sail Croatia and Ante! I will definitely be recommending you!!! 😎🇭🇷

Bucket List Check Croatia Yacht

The trip was excellent- they know how to make it the best! Wines of Croatia was more than expected with great variety and really good wine ! Every detail was taken care of! Klara was an awesome tour guide and always left things optional if anyone wanted to skip a tour for some down time. The history she shared when updating us with daily plans added to each tour! Daily swim stops were the best and freshened us up for lunch and another winery before dinner on the town or at a winery. The Captains dinner was a special treat! The deck hands were always keeping an eye on safety of everyone at swim stops and Mio and Evo serving up breakfast lunch and drinks were attentive and fun ! Highly recommend Sail Croatia and we will return for more!

Unforgettable Experience

My husband and I were nervous about trying our first e-bike tour, but this trip completely blew us away! The boat was immaculate, our cabin was comfortable and quiet, and the three-course lunches were spectacular. The crew and guides were incredible—knowledgeable, safe, and exceptionally friendly. The e-bikes made riding up the island hills a breeze. Beyond the beautiful views, the best part was the lifelong friendships we made with the other 33 passengers. If it sounds too good to be true, believe me, it wasn’t. It was perfect.

- Janice, 06/10/2026 19:06, Travelled in a Couple

Way too loud.

Everything was almost perfect, except the noise in the eating room was painful and the noise in the restaurant that we went to as a group was also excruciatingly loud and the food wasn’t very good. I would not recommend the Olimp boat to anybody else until those problems are fixed.

5 stars for a 5 star company and crew!

We had the most amazing time with Sail Croatia aboard a luxury Katarina yacht. The entire trip was pure perfection from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. Our sail Croatia rep - Vicko - was a gold mine of knowledge, suggestions, ideas and plans. Vicko was vital to the success of the entire trip - professional, knowledgeable, fun, great sense of humor and foremost super flexible and accommodating. He is a true gem for Sail Croatia. Our boat and incredible crew led by captain Ivan was exceptional in every aspect. The boat was spotless clean, the cabins were spacious, comfortable and impeccable. The crew was there to support our every request and the food was very scrumptious every time! Cannot wait to be back and Sail Croatia again!!!

Dubrovnick to Split

Our tour guide Lola was incredible !!! she was easy to talk to and extremely helpful She helped us arrange water taxis and answered all of our questions. Lola was great !! We were extremely disappointed with the ship's itinerary. Had we knew that the daily swim stop was actually more than 1/2 a day of swimming and that most shore excursions were to start after lunch, Starting shore excursions at 3;00 or 4;00 is just too late . we would not have taken this cruise. We did not come to Europe to swim, we came to see and explore towns and sights. For instance we visited Milena which was a waste of a day, Nothing really to see. I wish we could have spent the time in Split which is a wonderful and interesting city.

Whether we needed information about where we were going, restaurant recommendations and reservations, help arranging activities, or pretty much anything else we could think of, Vicko was there to make it happen. He genuinely seemed committed to fulfilling every request and making the trip effortless for us. The food on board was also excellent — fresh, delicious, and something we looked forward to every day.

Wonderful cruise

My husband and I travelled with friends. We spent 2 weeks travelling Croatia before boarding the Olimp. On the positive, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very good and plentiful. The ship was very clean and the rooms and beds comfortable and spacious for a ship cabin. They were cleaned daily. The excursions were very interesting and enjoyable as were the guided tours. Suggestions would be to allow people to have meals in different areas as the dining room was very noisy: or reduce the # of travellers. Since mornings were spent on the ship, allow for a longer period to eat, say 8 to 10-11. The lunch menu was plentiful and could have been served for dinner instead with 2-3 off ship dinners. More time in some destinations would have been nice. Otherwise overall we loved the experience and would recommend Sail Croatia.

North route from Split Hiking Tour

Overall our holiday was great! The guides Mate and Antonia were awesome, informative and fun! The schedule of hikes, swim time and free time is excellent . We were on the Emmanuel and found the rooms adequate but lacked enough space to unpack our clothes for two people for the week. We have previously been on the Katarina which offered more room and storage in your cabin, but did not offer the hiking. Some meals on board the Emmanuel were very good but others did not suit my palate. I would have liked to see more well done eggs at breakfast. Most days we had fried eggs with very runny yolks. It would have been nice to offer either a few hard boiled eggs or scrambled eggs or over medium as an alternative. If you like cream in your coffee, it is not offered. A small platter of sliced fruit is offered for 30+ people and not replaced once done. Overall, we had a fantastic time hiking through different areas of Croatia including 2 magnificent National Parks and I would recommend this tour.

Stunning cruise

A wonderful relaxing cruise on a fantastic boat and in beautiful surroundings. The food was delicious - the only small criticism I have is that there was too much puréed vegetables. It would have been nice to bite into something. I also would have preferred a cool pool on deck instead of a hot tub. I never used this as the weather was great and so why would I want to get even hotter in a hot tub? The crew were fantastic, very friendly and so hard working. All in all it was a fabulous holiday

Good overall, but….

The ship is very lovely. The mattress a bit soft for my liking and only 1 pillow is provided, which is silly. The company says it provides one beach towel and one bath towel. It also provides one face towel. What it does not say is that they changed your bath and face towel twice during the cruise. They never change your beach towel, and they don’t dry. It’s pretty gross. Beach towels should also be cleaned once or so per week. We use them every day. The daily itinerary should be reversed. We should go out on the islands in the morning and see the sites and have excursions, and come back to the ship in the afternoon for swimming and relaxing. The lunches are big and heavy, and are better suited for dinners. We could have lunch on our own on the island and dinner on the ship. The staff is amazing Truly helpful and accommodating. Coffee/tea/softdrinks should be included in the overall pricing. I would rather you charge a little bit more upfront and include those things

Great crew. Lola was incredible. Itinerary was a bit too light with the morning swim seeming like wasted time. Should charge a bit more and include more without additional charges (coffee, tea and soft drinks; more towels changed more often; greater food variety).

Amazing Luxury Cruise & Crew, but Late-Season Itinerary Needed Better Planning

Our group of 20 sailed on Sail Croatia’s Elegance Cruise aboard Katarina in late September/early October & had a wonderful experience overall. Katarina is a beautiful luxury vessel. The food & drinks were excellent, while the captain, crew & Sail Croatia guide were incredibly welcoming & accommodating. The onboard experience exceeded expectations. Our disappointment was specifically with the late-season stop in Vela Luka. We spent an entire afternoon & evening there, but much of the town had already closed for the season. Restaurants & businesses were shut, taxis & boats were unavailable & we couldn’t arrange transportation to nearby beaches. With our travel dates known well in advance, these seasonal limitations should have been considered. Our group of 20 would have gladly welcomed a different stop or extra time in Dubrovnik. Excellent vessel, food, crew & service—just disappointing itinerary planning for the time of year.

We're delighted to hear that the vessel, food and drinks exceeded expectations, and that our Captain, crew and Sail Croatia Representative made your experience so enjoyable. We're sorry that you found Vela Luka quieter than anticipated. Vela Luka is a scheduled destination on our Elegance itinerary, and while the seasonal operation of local businesses and transport providers is outside of our control, there were a number of options available during the stop, including a wine tasting excursion, Vela Spila and arrangements for guests interested in visiting nearby Proizd. The Captain's Dinner was also held onboard that evening. We appreciate your feedback regarding the late-season experience and have shared this with our Operations Team. We're very pleased that you and your group otherwise had such a wonderful experience aboard Katarina, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Late-Season Itinerary Fell Short

We recently traveled on a Sail Croatia Elegance Cruise aboard the luxury vessel Katarina from Split to Dubrovnik in late September/early October. The onboard experience exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional—fresh, delicious & high quality. The drinks, boat, staff, captain, crew & our Sail Croatia guide were phenomenal & went above & beyond. Our only disappointment was Sail Croatia’s back-office itinerary planning. We spent an afternoon & evening in Vela Luka, only to find the town essentially closed for the season. Restaurants & businesses were closed, there was little to do & no taxis or boats were available to reach nearby beaches. For a luxury cruise, seasonal closures should be considered when planning late-season itineraries. Another stop or extra time in Dubrovnik would have been a much better option. Katarina & the onboard experience were exceptional. We only wish the itinerary had matched the same high standard.

Sail Croatia - Hiking - Split/return

We booked the Sail Croatia hiking cruise for the last week of September 2026. I honestly didn't know a lot about Croatia before our trip. We booked it on a whim after reviewing some social media posts and confirming that it fit into our budget and schedule. Everything exceeded our expectations - the cruise was great! Croatia is incredibly beautiful and we had a really good group on our boat so that made things simple. The hikes were easy as long as you are in shape. Food was excellent and the rooms and accommodations were fine. I highly recommend Sail Croatia. Our guides were Mate and Antonia. They were excellent and you'll be lucky if you have them on your trip.

10/10 would recommend

Overall the trip was great. Our tour manager and crew made sure we were well taken care of and had tons fun. Despite it being off season Diego organized lots of great things for us and provided great information about each place we visited and ensured we were all having a good time. I really enjoyed my time on sail Croatia.

Sail Croatia

Every single member of the Kapetan Jure sail Croatia boat was welcoming, kind and supportive in every way possible. They made all guests feel welcome and encouraged us to make the most out of our experiences. Diego, our trip manager was delightful.

Wonderful Week

We had a great experience with Sail Croatia! The boat was very nice with comfortable cabins, larger than we expected. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the company of the other passengers as well. We were very impressed with our guides Ivica and Antonio. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. We had never ridden e-bikes and they made sure we were safe and enjoyed the experience. The riding was beautiful and we were able to enjoy it all the more with such competent guides. They also shared their love of Croatia with us which truly made this a wonderful trip. We highly recommend seeing the islands this way!

Our first cruise ever and it was fantastic. Vico and the staff were incredible from start to finish. I am recommending this trip to all my friends.

- Trish, 05/10/2026 15:56, Travelled in a Couple

Extremely Nice

My wife and I traveled through the islands of Hvar, Brac, Vis, Korkula, and Mljet with Sail Croatia. Our guide was Vicko. Vicko was quite knowledgeable and interesting as regards the individual islands, reviewing their history as far back as the period of Ancient Greek colonization. The entry into Korkula was especially amazing as the boat coursed the Adriatic between the mainland and the island. My wife and I will always remember this trip with great happiness. A beautiful place and a wonderful experience.

Absolutely amazing

We had such a wonderful time on the Princeza Diana for our one week biking tour. The boat interior was recently refurbished so it was very nice and well appointed throughout. The staff was great with specific shoutouts to our tour managers Ivica and Antonio (they could also have successful careers herding cats), the servers Sanja and Danny (so friendly, kind, and helpful), and chef Marko (the food was sensational). They each really made our trip memorable by going above and beyond in their respective areas. The fellow guests from varied areas were all terrific and everyone got along incredibly well. While a custom cruise for us would have had longer rides and shorter stops, we also heard people say they wanted longer stops or shorter rides so this was a perfect balance for all. Overall it is highly recommended with zero complaints and it exceeded our expectations in every way..

- Lance, 05/10/2026 12:51, Travelled in a Couple

Outstanding trip

We were fortunate to get on the Princeza Diana for our Sail/bike Croatia trip and she did not disappoint. The boat was spectacular, the rooms were spotless with comfy beds, the food was varied and presented beautifully ( bravo Marco ) and the bar had whatever you desired. Our guides Ivica and Antonio were the best. They were able to keep all 31 of us informed of the routes each day and any areas that may be tricky. No issues with our bike and lots of power to get up the steep climbs. It was so much fun getting to know our guides and Danny and Sanja were just so sweet. This group of people are what made the trip so special from sitting with new people at meals everyday to large happy hours nightly. 20 out of 10.

Our holiday was wonderful. Our guides Antonio and Ivica were outstanding. Their directions, caring, and attention to our needs was outstanding.

We couldn’t be happier with all the crew.

Split to Dubrovnik

I would easily rate this as a 10 out of 10 holiday! Princenza Diana ship was very clean and had a real boating vibe. But it was the staff that really made our experience exceptional. All the staff knew us by name and provided personal and professional support to our specific needs. Safety was a priority on the cycling experience and we were always properly prepared for the day’s ride. The cycling routes took us through small villages, olive groves and vineyards, on paved paths with little to no traffic. I am ready to book my next adventure with Sail Croatia 👍

- Barb and Dave, 05/10/2026 07:22, Travelled in a Couple

Fun with friends

The holiday on the Princeza Diana was very enjoyable. The wood work in the salon really made you feel that you were on a sailboat. The crew were friendly and attentive, Chef made some delicious meals while we were on board. Our biking guides Ivica and Antonio helped us make so many memories over the 7 days of riding. They were always attentive and helpful if we were struggling with certain aspects of the ride. I would highly recommend this bike and sail

Mate & Antonia were fantastic guides, the hikes were great and we were blessed with fantastic weather and calm seas. The food onboard was mostly good. The cabin was tiny however had air conditioning and an ensuite. Swim stops most days were fun. Was lovely walking around the various ports too. Croatia is a beautiful country and most of the locals speak English too.

A fabulous week

We had a fantastic bike and sail week aboard the Princenza Diana travelling from Split to Dubrovnik. The cabins were nice and always clean, the food was delicious but the most importantly, the staff were outstanding. Everyone including sales team, the captain, the chef, servers, cabin crew and sailors were helpful, friendly and fun. But Antonio and Ivici who were our cruise director/ bike guides were awesome. They helped us really enjoy 7 fabulous rides. There were 13 in our group from Canada out of 31 on the boat and at one point we considered chartering the whole boat but we are so glad that we didn’t because we got to meet so many lovely people from the UK, , Australia , Ireland, Scotland and the US. This was a week we will truly remember and it didn’t hurt that we had 7 days of sunshine 😎

Best way to see the heart of Croatia

We are avid travellers and put our week with Sail Croatia in the penthouse suite! Our guides were Mate and Antonio, and they were knowledgeable, personable and kind and thoughtful. This opinion was 100 percent shared by the group.. The hikes were well chosen, tired but enough energy to explore the beautiful towns and small cities we visited each night. Breakfast and lunch were always quality and I loved being responsible for our own dinners in the seaside communities where we moored. My wife and I made many new friends and enjoyed a fabulous week!

Amazing Experience, unforgettable!

We were a group of 15 and we had a blast. I was nervous to be in a small boat, I get sea sick easy, and that was not the case. The whole crew was amazing! Our ride leaders and coordinators did a fantastic job. Andro organizing the rides, routes and logistics was phenomenal. Saša, was a huge help sweeping us that were falling behind, he made my rides super enjoyable, even singing to me when I was ready to quit when the ride got harder (I was on a regular bike, not an e-bike). He had a great knowledge of Croatia’s history and he was magnificent in telling stories. Both did a terrific job. The rest of the crew shined as well, specially Matej our waiter/bartender, he kept me hydrated and did a phenomenal job attending to all during our meals. The food on board was amazing! Tomo, our chef did a fantastic job. Our Captain, Ivan was super funny and friendly, he gave me and my husband a tour of the bridge. The rest of our Crew, Ilya, Tonci & Roko, super friendly and helpful, always available

- Maria, 04/10/2026 23:14, Travelled with Friend/s

Best Vacation Ever

We enjoyed everything about this. Getting to see so many islands and villages on those islands was fantastic. At every port our "hotel" was steps from the village centre. The food was fantastic and everyone from the bike guides to the sailors and ship staff were friendly and very hard working. The bike portion was just right with a 2-3 hour easy ride every day then lots of time to explore each town. The transit from island to island was exciting. We saw dolphins and watching coming into each port was fun. The amount of area we were able to see with the bikes made our entire trip memorable. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Incredible week on Contessa

My husband and I just wrapped up an incredible 7-day cruise on the Contessa with Sail Croatia and we highly recommend it. We really enjoyed the boat itself along with the other guests and the crew! The group vibe was a fun mix of active, like-minded people. Huge praise for the crew who made the trip unforgettable. Marin (the Cruise Director) was fun and full of great local insights. As amateur boaters, we were thoroughly impressed by Captain's Slavko's navigational skills in those small coves and trusted his decisions to adjust. Thanks Joy, the bar team and Tino, the Boat Hand as well. The island stops were stunning. We enjoyed the swim stops, an ad-hoc bike ride across the island of Korcula, the village tour with a longtime resident among many. One tiny improvement - we thought there would be more active activities such as kayaking from the boat. However, that didn't take away from the great week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the Contessa. The ship is very comfortable and the crew very competent and kind. I am sorry I don’t have names of everyone, but they were all so nice and helpful.

- Dorothy, 03/10/2026 19:02, Travelled in a Couple

a very relaxing holiday…

Firstly, the Esperanza is not the most modern in the Sail Croatia fleet - but it it extremely well looked after and is in pristine condiition. The Captain was very friendly and engaging. And all of the 8 crew do an incredible job - they are all very focusing on deliverying outstanding customer service. Our room was very well equiped, comfortable and surprisingly spacious - and the bathroom was a great size. The boat, has plenty of deck space, to sit out in the sun and there are also plenty of shaded areas. The seating areas of the boat and large and comfortable - you never feel there is not enough space. The restaurant was set for 8 people per table. The breakfast is a buffet with plenty of options. Lunch was a fixed 3 course meal - there was also a small daily salad bar available with lunch. Internet was a. challenge onboard. The only criticism I have is that the tour leader - who was very nice and very helpful - had a focus on cash only tours and cash tips for the crew

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-10-06:

Thank you for your detailed feedback and 4 star review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your time aboard Esperanza and particularly appreciated the Captain, crew, spacious cabins and onboard facilities. We would like to clarify that optional excursions are operated by local suppliers in Croatia, with cash being their preferred payment method. Similarly, while crew gratuities are entirely optional, cash is the method used onboard should guests wish to leave a tip. Thank you again for travelling with us and for recognising the fantastic service provided by the Esperanza crew.

Amazing experience

We were on the Katarina 7 day Sail Croatia cruise. It was extremely organized, had wonderful food and service, amazing attentive staff and a very competent captain. I think I am ruined from doing any large cruise ship vacations from now on! The cabins were well cared for and cleaned daily, the water was hot in the showers. The staff was attentive to any food aversions or allergies. The service felt very personalized as if they knew who each of us were and which cabin we were in. We got to know the other passengers well and it was enjoyable sharing meals and sailing time with them. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Amazing Trip!

Absolutely incredible, even with the weather not as warm as we'd hoped, the skipper, mate, the old towns, and everywhere the skipper recommended were amazing! Linda knew all the right spots, stops, and could park the Julie like it was a Volkswagon Bug, even in the wind. Our mate, Iona, cooked some amazing meals as well, took inventory of what we liked to eat, and shopped at each spot to cater to our needs. All-time family trip!

We cruised with two other couples in late September on the Contessa and it was absolutely awesome! The weather was perfect. The food was great. The other travelers were so much fun and our tour director Marin went over and above to make our time incredible. Be flexible - we couldn't do Vela Luka and we didn't get to dock in Split but we were able to take an Uber there from Trogir for several hours and Makarska was a great substitute port.

Big Blue Forever!

My Sail Croatia week was absolutely unforgettable! To waking up every morning to the gentle rock of the boat and crystal clear waters to jump into, to the nights out full of laughter with my Big Blue family, I will always remember my crazy cool week on Big Blue! Spending a week with such a genuine, fun, energetic and joyful group, many of whom actually grew up in the same town and went to the same school as me, was such a highlight of my time in Europe that I will never forget. Our guide Naomi was absolutely phenomenal, she genuinely made our experience and made our boat feel like the most chaotic (in the best way) family that I am so glad to be a part of– we are still in contact a few months later! Her genuine care for us, the time she took to get to know each person, her zest for life, passion for always having fun, and love for not only her job but the world around her always shone through. Thank you Sail Croatia for a week in the sun I’ll be telling people about for years to come!

The Best Way to Experience Croatia!

We booked the Explorer cruise aboard the Contessa for our honeymoon, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. The ship was beautiful, the Croatian coast was breathtaking, and every stop seemed better than the last. What made the trip truly unforgettable were the people. We were blown away by how welcoming, kind, and gracious the Croatian people and the entire Contessa crew were. A huge shoutout to Captain Slavko, Petra, Neno, Tino, Charlie, Joy, Kristijana, Zeljana, Bane, and Marko. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to make us feel at home and by the end of the week they felt more like friends than crew. Our tour manager, Marin is truly the best of the best. His energy, personality, knowledge, and genuine care for everyone onboard made an already amazing trip even better. If Marin is working your cruise you’ve won the lottery! We couldn’t have imagined a better honeymoon. We made lifelong memories and friendships that we’ll carry with us always. BOOK THE TRIP!!!

Great way to see Dalmatian Coast.

My husband and I loved the yacht and visiting the different locations along the coast. Every location was a little bit different, but all were beautiful. The common areas of the boat were never crowded and the daily swim stops were great. The cabin was spacious enough and remarkably quiet (lower deck). Our representative, Vicko, was so informative and humorous with his daily breifings of our itinerary, some history, and cultural tips. The wait staff/bartenders were so helpful and attentive. While generally, the food was good, I was a bit disappointed in their "accommodation" for our dietary needs. I told the booking agent before we booked about our dietary needs and she assured me it would be no problem. We verified this again shortly before the trip. We felt like our request was not fully conveyed to the chef and people supplying provisions on the boat, so it seemed like our alternative meals were kind of afterthoughts. The food did not measure up to the price of the trip.

My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience. It was an outstanding trip, and traveling with our group of 10—and getting to know the other passengers—made it even more special. The Contessa was beautiful, but the crew is what truly made this trip unforgettable. Marin, our Tour Director, was wonderful and always attentive and helpful. Neno and Petra were fantastic, always friendly and welcoming. Tito and Charlie, our sailors, worked incredibly hard and always made us feel safe and well cared for. Captain Slavko was outstanding, and Joy kept everything spotless. A special thank-you to Kristijana Zeljana, our Boat Manager and the "Mom" of the boat. She made everyone feel like family. And our chefs, Blane and Marko, prepared some absolutely wonderful meals. Every member of the crew went above and beyond. We came aboard as passengers and left feeling like friends. Croatia was beautiful, but the crew made the trip truly unforgettable. We will always treasure the memories.

Phenomenal

Sailing and biking Croatia’s islands was incredibly special for its scenery, culture, food, aromas, waters and villages. But, it was Andro and Saša who made it phenomenal. The pair of them have a way of collaborating and connecting that was naturally easygoing, humorous and informative, all at once. Croatia and Andro and Saša made it a cultural and personal experience of a lifetime. Phenomenal.

Great week on the Dalmatian Coast

We had a wonderful week boating and biking; note the use of the word boating vs sailing. There were no sails and I was somewhat disappointed and I think the company should make this clear from the onset! That said, it was a great experience. Staff was exceptional, food was really good and we had an exceptional chef who clearly loves what he does. I would have loved to have biked longer routes or maybe a couple of rides offered per day to the overzealous types on board Great way to see the coast, visit some amazing historical sites, all without packing/unpacking frequently. Highly recommend this outfit for cruising, swimming and biking the Dalmatian coast. Weather was beautiful all week !!!

Contessa

Fantastic experience cruising with the Contessa crew. Marin, Nano, Petra, sailing team, chefs, and housekeeper (sorry if I have missed anyone) were simply outstanding! I will definitely recommending to all my friends back home. Thank you for a very memorable Sail Croatia cruise.

Trip of a lifetime

We sailed on the Contessa for the week of September 23rd. The yacht was magnificent. What made the trip so amazing was the entire group of people. We had so much fun and all connected really well. Not only was it a great group of people but the crew was amazing. Marin our tour operator was the best. He was such fun and helped keep us informed and was beyond helpful. All the staff especially Marin, Dino and Petra were incredible. Anyone thinking of sailing with Sail Croatia don’t even hesitate. It will be an unforgettable trip. Thank you to Marin and all the staff on Contessa. You worked so hard to make our week with you such fun and truly memorable.

Loved It!

The staff on the Esperanza Elegance Tour went above and beyond to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The captain chose the most beautiful calm places for our daily swims and made the best of the day we could not go into our designated port due to weather. The food was great and the chef was so accommodating to everyone's dietary restrictions/preferences. Most importantly the people we met were the absolute best and we hung out together in Dubrovnik even after the cruise ended. We made some lifetime friends we hope to travel with more in the future!

Sail & Bike Trip - just AWESOME

We just had a week on Sail Croatia’s ship Columbus & a biking tour through a small sample of the stunning Dalmatian coasts islands. Although a little apprehensive to start, Marin & Lauren, our fantastic guides, settled us all right in. They shared a load of local knowledge & ensured our bike route was challenging in sections but safe & hugely enjoyable – absolutely recommend an e-bike. The scenery is stunning & photos don’t do it justice. Our group started as 32 strangers but quickly turned to 32 friends, with sooo many laughs. Along with the guides, the crew & chefs were amazing turning our great meals & looking after us along the way. The trip absolutely exceeded our expectations & would thoroughly recommend.

Sailing on the Libertine

We had a wonderful week sailing on the Libertine with Marjan as our skipper! We had good winds for sailing, great overnights on the islands, nice marina facilities, and lovely stops for swimming. Marjan was extremely helpful with recommendations on what we could do and handled the boat very well. This boat is best suited for 8 guests..
