The ship, the crew and the company were all superb. A beautiful ship, which was constantly being looked after by the enthusiastic crew, and a group of travellers from the far corners of the world who met and mixed throughout the week and who all became friends. Beautiful islands and interesting walks, led by Mate who was an excellent and experienced local guide and who gave us so much information about the history of each area. He really was an important part of the trip. And not to forget the breakfasts and lunches which were really good and gave us the calories to complete the walks and at a pace that suited all levels. Altogether a memorable week and a great way to mark our Golden Wedding.

What a great experience, best way to see parts of Croatia that a lot of people would see on conventional tours. The ship (Columbo), the captain and the crew were awesome, they went out of their way to make the trip a memorable one. Our guides Marin and Mario were very professional and provided lots of information about the history of the islands and the towns we visited. Would highly recommend cycling with Sail Croatia.

This was a trip of a lifetime for our family and was beyond our expectations. The Morpheus was an amazing vessel with plenty of room. What really made the trip was the crew. Kristijan, our skipper, was fantastic. He took great care of us and the boat. He provided an exciting itinerary with a great route, along with suggestions of sights to see, Kristijan also arranged amazing meals and excursions, which allowed us to experience a more local side of the islands we visited. He personalized our experience and was a very fun and knowledgeable. Dora, our hostess, was the icing on the cake. She took such great care of us on this trip. Our meals were beyond expectations, often even better than the great meals we ate at restaurants on the islands. She made sure we had plenty of everything we wanted....snacks, cocktails, you name it. Dora also offered many great suggestions that helped enhance the island experiences! Dream boat and dream team.

Sail Croatia was hands-down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had – but what truly made it unforgettable was our host, Nouraia, and the phenomenal crew on board. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Nouraia made us feel completely welcome, cared for, and hyped for the week ahead. Her energy was infectious, her organisation flawless, and her ability to bring the whole group together made it feel like one big floating family. The entire crew was next-level amazing – the captain, chef, and deckhands all went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was incredible (seriously, every meal was a highlight), the boat was spotless, and every little detail felt thought-through and intentional. The friendships that we made really stood out. There laughs, the late-night chats, the curated stops, the photos, and just the way everyone genuinely cared about one another. Would love to experience it all again with the same crew! Great stuff!

My husband and I had a great vacation on the Tempura boat. Dino our guide for the week provided feedback on the best places to eat and see. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to anyone.
- Angela, 29/05/2025 14:45, Travelled in a Couple
Dino our tour guide was awesome, very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on what to do/where to eat. The crew were also very kind and helpful.
- Sarah, 29/05/2025 14:42, Travelled in a Couple
I add a great time every one on our boat got along very well Noura was an amazing guide she would always tell us everything there is to know, was inviting us to join her when she would do thing on her own like going to a wine tasting spot witch was great and she really helped me out when I add problems getting cash out to pay my tab. The food was amazing, the service offered by Mateo was on point he was fast and the drinks were good. Overall I add an amazing experience, mostly because of the crew I was with and the staff :)))
- Frederique , 29/05/2025 13:05, Travelled Solo
Great crew, great food and service. Very organised, honest and informative. Dino is a legend made the experience amazing.
- Tristan, 29/05/2025 11:27, Travelled in a Couple
I had the most amazing time on the navigator cruise. Nouraïa was the most amazing tour guide. She gave a lot of great recommendations for things to do and the best places to see, and taught us about this history of the places we went. Shes very lovely and sweet. The whole crew on Mlini were amazing and very welcoming!
- Catherine , 29/05/2025 08:14, Travelled Solo
The boat was immaculate. A credit to the skipper and crew. The guides Mika and Lola were fantastic.

We had an amazing time! From the swim stops to the excursions to the food - everything was outstanding. The meals were excellent. This was a fabulous way to see Croatia!
- Anonymous, 28/05/2025 09:43, Travelled with Family
The islands we cycled and sailed through were stunning. With an e-bike the cycles were easy to complete and I loved having the opportunity to swim as well most days. Our guides, Marin and Mario, were the highlight - keeping us safe and full of interesting information.
- Paddy, 28/05/2025 09:14, Travelled in a Couple
This was a fuss free and beautiful way to experience Croatia. Waking up each morning in a different location with stunning views, swimming spots, experiences and exploration all while making new friends. Vicko and the Alissa crew were amazing and always had guest experience front of mind.
- Rachael , 28/05/2025 08:18, Travelled in a Couple
Our guides Mila and Lola were fabulous and passionate about what they do and Croatia. Well organized and ready with an alternative plan when the weather affected the original plans. Learnt a lot about Croatia. Hikes were really enjoyable. I especially loved Biokovo Nature Park. Great crew on our boat Emanuel which was spotless throughout our week.
- Jennifer, 28/05/2025 06:06, 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
Great tour of several islands and good activities. Not pressured to do anything you don’t want. Would defo recommend the en-suite boat. The captain, chefs and others were very friendly! Jonny and Marin were excellent and very informative and helpful. Had an issue with my foot and they were very understandable and kept checking I was ok. Would defo recommend but maybe come when you are guaranteed good weather as you can get rough seas! Would do again but on a larger boat. Thanks guys!
- Sorabh, 27/05/2025 20:39, Travelled Solo
This was such a fun, relaxing and memorable time and Marin & Johnny as well as the rest of the crew worked so hard to make it easy and smooth for us every day of the week. Everyone was so receptive to suggestions and feedback and always ensured that all of us were having a great time - which we were. <3 sail Croatia
- Daria , 27/05/2025 19:29, Travelled Solo
A big shout out to Captain Franco for his sailing expertise. All the staff and crew were great especially Max who looked after the dining and bar area. The chefs were extraordinary and all the meals were terrific and my weigh scale at home tells me so! If I had one complaint…..maybe some replacement of the duvets and bed pillows.
- Renee R., 27/05/2025 17:41, Travelled in a Couple
What a great itinerary, with a fabulous bunch of people! Everyone was so friendly. Our hikes were a good variety, ranging from flat to vertical (possibly a slight exaggeration, but there were some steep bits!) We hiked along clifftops, over rocks, through woodland, in National Parks with waterfalls galore (and some very noisy frogs!), and through small towns. All different, all gorgeous. Our guides Ivica and Lucija were brilliant, watching out for everyone, giving us lots of snippets of information, and sharing their obvious love for their beautiful country. They gave us some pretty good restaurant recommendations too!
- Paula, 27/05/2025 17:33, Travelled in a Couple
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
Numerous swimming stops and excursions and daily briefs on Croatia history and culture. Nightly stops at interesting ports with historical and cultural heritage relevance. Captain and crew members professional service ensured a worry free rememberable experience.
- Scott, 27/05/2025 14:24, Travelled in a Couple
Great and plentiful food, great bike trips were carefully planned for our interest and safety.. Staff was receptive and helpful throughout the trip. The islands visited were magnificent visually and people were friendly and helpful. Learning the history added to the trip as well.

Karolina took great care and made everyday run smoothly. Perfect holiday in everyway
- Hayley, 27/05/2025 07:48, Travelled in a Couple
I found the trip incredibly well organised, good back up plans in place when the weather was not as planned, whilst still feeling very relaxed and enjoyable. Excellent island stops, incredibly scenery/views and great bike rides on well maintained bikes.
- Debbie, 27/05/2025 07:39, Travelled with Family
Our tour director Klara was exceptionally helpful & organized. The Olimp captain & crew were fantastic & very friendly. Thank you for showing off your beautiful country Croatia! Brock & Anna
- Anna, 27/05/2025 07:16, Travelled in a Couple
The small cruise experience was wonderful. We went into small ports that large cruise ships could not go and were able to explore many more fabulous destinations. The food on the ship was plentiful and top notch. The hiking tour was a good mixture of easy walks and challenging hikes. Our guides were well informed and a pleasure to spend time with. My only constructive feedback would be to better describe the terrain and required fitness level for some of the hikes because I feel they were too challenging for a few of our companions and it required that the more able hikers were spending their time assisting rather than enjoying the hike. Thank you for a fabulous vacation!!

From making the reservations to answering our questions to providing us with fantastic reps, Mila and Lola.... everything was fantastic and we can't wait to explore more of this beautiful country using Sail Croatia. The Emanuel ship and crew were comfortable and made our experience top- notch. 5- stars all around!
- Jodi, 26/05/2025 20:32, Travelled in a Couple
Mila and Lola were great leaders and assistants. They went out of their way to regain my lost suitcase. Their planning, enthusiasm, knowledge and sense of humour made this first solo trip special. Our servers/ assistants were helpful and caring. All team members were respectful, and went out of their way to make sure that all sailors were happy. The hikes were challenging but so satisfying to know that I met the challenge Amazing trip and I’m recommending others to go! Thanks to all!
- Vicky, 26/05/2025 20:26, Travelled Solo
Our sail/hike Split Southern Islands week was a perfect mix of activity on our hikes and time to relax either onboard beautiful Emanuel or onshore at one of the picturesque towns in which we spent the night. Food provided onboard for breakfast and lunch was plentiful and tasty (thanks to our on-board Chef). Our cabin was roomy and well presented. The whole crew and our two guides looked after us really well and Croatia and the Adriatic Sea were just stunning. We could not have asked for a better week. Thank you to our crew and our awesome guides and thank you Sail Croatia.
- Andrea and Gary, 26/05/2025 18:51, Travelled in a Couple
Croatia is a beautiful and cruising the islands is stunning. The food, locations, our amazing tour guide Dino and the people we met.
- Karen, 26/05/2025 18:22, Travelled with Family
My navigator cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was an amazing week. The crew was great, the food was delicious and our tour guide Marin was awesome. Despite a few changes to the itinerary due to weather, Marin made sure we had a great time and organised the week perfectly. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking into Sail Croatia!
- Monica, 26/05/2025 14:56, Travelled Solo
The tour team and ship crew were A1. on all accounts. We had some weather to navigate through and again the captain and crew made it all work. We did wish the ship was a tad more updated. Beds were too hard and hot water was not reliable (only a 400 liter tank for all 40 of us). All part of the adventure. Marin and Mario were great tour leaders and kept us all safe. The Croatian food was first rate and plentiful each day. A great time had by all.
- Robert, 26/05/2025 13:22, Travelled in a Couple
I did the navigator en-suite cruise on kapetan jure boat and it was quite literally the time of my life. There was a good mix of solo travelers and groups and everyone was so fun and kind. The crew was truly phenomenal. They were so accommodating and understanding and helpful. The food was so so good I came in with low expectations and was blown away by lunch everyday! A special shoutout and thank you to Marin our fearless leader! He was so amazing and honest with us about what we would enjoy and what we wouldn’t. He handle course changes with grace and always made sure we were all okay and having fun! I trust that man with my life! I’m leaving with only the very best memories and lots of new friends!!
- Grace, 26/05/2025 13:15, Travelled Solo
Overall, my wife and I had a wonderful trip on our bike-boat trip in May 2025. The guides were very good and kept us well informed. The bikes were very good quality and easy to ride. My only criticism is that my wife and I slept in separate small beds in our cabin. We would’ve clearly preferred to be in a single bed together at night as we have been for 40 years. All in all, this was a very successful vacation for my wife and myself.
- David, 26/05/2025 12:42, Travelled in a Couple
Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!
- Mark, 26/05/2025 12:31, Travelled with Family
We originally considered using ferry service to see the Croatian islands, but ultimately chose Sail Croatia because it covered all the islands we wanted to see and made it so easy! We were happily surprised by how delicious the food was on board, and felt that we had the perfect amount of time in each location. The accommodations were also perfect for us. Would recommend and travel again ourselves! Vicko and the whole crew gave us a great experience.
- Julie, 26/05/2025 11:52, Travelled in a Couple
Salve di mare is a beautiful ship with an amazing and professional crew. They looked after us with attention and care. The food on board was delicious, a big thank you for the chef and his team! Our hiking guide Matte was very knowledgeable and provided full description not only about the hikes but also about the villages visited. Ioana, leading the guests was very approachable and friendly.. Despite the extra charge for the upper cabin booked, we found out that it was on top of the engine making it very noisy and other cabins at a cheaper rate, were way more spacious than ours. Tea and coffee was free of charge only until 1pm, which we did not understand the reason, as it was an average coffee maker, not a barista style at all for the extra charge. We definitely recommend our hiking tour and we will be happy to come back and choose Sail Croatia again!

My wife and I had an incredible time on the 7-day Sail Croatia tour from Split to Dubrovnik. The islands were stunning, and each stop had something unique to offer. Our tour guide, Marin, was fantastic—super helpful, honest, and fun to be around. He gave great local tips and even hung out with us in the evenings. The crew was great too, and the breakfast and lunch served onboard were always delicious. Highly recommend this trip if you're visiting Croatia!
- Akash, 26/05/2025 11:10, Travelled in a Couple
The staff made everything amazing! The weather wasn’t great some days so they organised different activities and always thought of our safety. Marin was the best representative! The food was delicious and the drink service was great. Boat was clean and we had a great time.

This was a fantastic holiday from the beautiful islands we cycled across to the great guides and friendly professional crew of the Mali Luka. The chef produced amazing food for us every day with great verity, accommodating all tastes and requirements. The cycling guides were knowledgeable of the areas we went to, this meant they could remain flexible on routes we took so always managed to cycle in great weather. They also provided lots of interesting history of the islands as we cycled around them.
- Brad, 26/05/2025 06:57, Travelled in a Couple
Marin my tour guide was amazing, he made the whole trip so easy for me, I got to sit back drink and relax while he took care of our every need onboard. He made sure I was informed of everything happening onboard and off, and could answer any question I asked. Johnny the assistant tour guide was just as great they both together made for a great time onboard. Shoutout to Romeo the bartender for his fantastic work as well and to the rest of the crew from the Kapetan Jure they were all lovely and amazing. Kind regards, Jayden

Sail croatia put together an amazing journey along the Dalmatian coast. We were aboard the Mali Ante with a experienced and skilled crew. The chef prepared excellent Croatian cuisine for breakfast and lunch that rivaled many of the excellent restaurants we tried for dinner. We were on a new hiking cruise, designed by our guides, that included national parks and islands north of Split, including Plitvice and Krka. The guides, Ivica and Lucija, carefully selected trails to suit the abilities of the group and were very attentive to the needs of each guest. I would love to come back and do a hiking tour of the southern islands in the future. We primarily stayed in small villiages on the islands and Lucija was very kind to tell us all about the towns and their history and every night she provided excellent recommendations for dinners. Swim stops were great and refreshing! Best part of our month long vacation so far!
- Carolyn, 26/05/2025 05:52, Travelled in a Couple
The cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was a sensational experience. The captain and crew of the Almissa were excellent and Vicko the Sail Croatia representative was incredible and made our trip a memorable one! The swim stops and island visits were picture perfect!
- Dale, 26/05/2025 04:50, Travelled in a Couple
The information supplied by Sail Croatia before our trip was excellent, letting us know everything we needed to know. The Tour guides were very helpful right from the beginning of the trip. Miranda was an excellent cycle tour leader and explained the routes and stops well. Lola gave great history and location talks throughout the tour. Even though Matilda was observing on this trip, she was also very helpful. The three made a good leading and supporting team. The crew of the Dionis were fantastic and worked hard to make the cruise a wonderful experience. The chefs were amazing and went above and beyond to provide very good vegan meals. The barman was a star, always polite and ready to give good service. The bikes we rode were very good and well maintained. Gears worked smoothly, and the range was right for the hills and routes. The places we visited were beautiful and full of history. We enjoyed swimming at different locations every day. There was always plenty of time to explore.
