Amazing trip!!

7 days with Sail Croatia flew by because we had such a blast everyday. They serve very good food and crew was very attentive. Big shout out to our event coordinator Toma!! He was the best from start to finish. Any questions we asked he had an answer from beginning to end. Anything we needed all hours of the day he made sure to take care of us and made sure everyone was back on the boat safely each night. If you can request him for your trip I would highly recommend (: Made a lot of good friends on this trip who we are still talking to after the trip. Would highly recommend to anyone we know as every day is a new beautiful city and new adventure.

Best Family Vacation Ever !

From start to finish our family vacation exceeded our expectations. From the logistics, the amazing ship and even more amazing crew, we are grateful for our family time together. Thank you Sail Croatia for everything you did for all of us. (and our co-passengers we not too shabby either - great memories)

Pomalo — Trust the Crew & Enjoy the Ride

I knew this trip would be once-in-a-lifetime, but the Contessa crew exceeded every expectation! My family had so much to celebrate—my parents renewed their vows, I got engaged, and I celebrated 20 years cancer-free. As someone who normally travels with a detailed itinerary and spreadsheet, this was the first time I truly let go and went pomalo—and I’m so glad I did. In just 7 days, strangers from Canada, Australia, Norway, and the USA became friends. That says everything about the incredible atmosphere this crew created. A huge thank you to Marin for his hospitality, local knowledge, humor, and always keeping us safe and taken care of. Neno & Ivana made the boat drinks unforgettable! Joy kept my room spotless and cozy, while Bane & Marko served food worthy of a five-star restaurant. And thank you to Tino, Charlie, Captain Slavko & Kristijana for everything you did behind the scenes. I’m already looking through photos with serious holiday blues. Thank you, Contessa crew!

Bike Guides You Can't Cycle Without!

We had an amazing trip on the cycling cruise! The amenities, crew and experience were over the top and a must do. You will be overfed with some of the best food for breakfast and lunch and be well taken care of by the bar and sail staff! The real game changers were Joško and Calum as our guides for all things from the bike route, history, restaurant recs, must see sites, views and entertainment! If you are able to request them as your guides then you would be doing yourself and the rest of the guests a disservice by missing out on the elevated expertise and attitude that they bring to your experience on this trip!

Wonderful cycle/sail

We had a great trip cycling and sailing through the islands of Croatia. Cal/J were the BEST guides. They were very informative, helpful and a true joy to be around! The food on the boat was plentiful and very good. All of the staff on the boat were excellent! Truly enjoyed getting to know them. Would highly recommend this trip to others. Thank you!

Exceptional Explorer Cruise Aboard The Contessa

Our Explorer Cruise aboard The Contessa from Split to Dubrovnik was a five star experience from start to finish. Our onboard representative Marin was front and centre on the pier welcoming everyone as suitcases were being loaded and from that point forward he did an exceptional job managing the itinerary, and sharing his knowledge and passion for Croatia throughout the trip. We also received great service onboard with the crew: Ivana, Neno, Charlie, ,and Joy. They were all super friendly and hard-working and it was a pleasure getting to know them over the course of the trip. The food on the cruise was over the top and chefs Bane and Marko were a fantastic culinary team. A special shout out to.the boat manager Kristijana for going above and beyond to have my suitcase, delivered to the ship on one of the islands because the airline had left it behind on a connecting flight. Thank you. Marin and team for making this and outstanding holiday experience that we highly recommend!

Exceeded expectations

We had such a great week with Sail Croatia and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming, and they really made the trip special. Especially Marin our Sail Croatia guide. He was a brilliant tour guide, friendly, honest and great fun. He kept us up to date each day and gave us great tips on what to see, do and avoid. Bane and Marko’s food was fantastic — every meal was delicious, beautifully presented and there was always plenty of it! Ivana and Neno were always great behind the bar and made some fantastic cocktails, while Joy kept our cabin spotless. The whole boat was incredibly clean. A big thank you to Captain Slavko, Charlie, Tino and Kristiano for keeping everything running so smoothly and getting us safely around Croatia. We also loved the spa pool — perfect after a day exploring! All in all, we had a fantastic time and the crew really made the experience. We’d definitely recommend Sail Croatia and would happily do it all again!

August 2026 Dubrovnik to Split

We had an amazing week on Princess Diana, sailing and cycling around the islands from Dubrovnik to Split. Couldn't speak more highly of the experience; the boat was fantastic; the staff on board were very friendly, the food and company was excellent and our guides, Andro and Mario were great fun, very well organized, very informative and attentive to all guests on board.

Fabulous cruise

We had a fantastic holiday, with a great group of people. The staff and captain were all friendly and helpful. The daily swim stops were amazing and so refreshing. Perfect way to cruise while seeing a different port each day. I really enjoyed the food and the drinks were well priced.

Best Party Cruise Ever

This was the best 7 days I’ve ever had on a cruise. It was full of non-stop adventure and partying. Sail Croatia let me see all the hidden gems of Croatia that I would have missed while allowing me meeting new people. The parties on sail Croatia was unmatched with anywhere else. Despite my violent hangover everyday it had me wanting to get up and start partying again 100% will be returning next year

Fell in love with Croatia

We had a lovely time on the Blackbird with our family. Thanks to our sailing experience we were able to see so much more of the country than we expected to. We would have liked to have had more time in different stops and a captain who was more flexible with our preferences. Also, a more mature captain is definitely a request we now know to make in the future. However, for our first time, this was incredible!

Sixtieth Birthday Adventure

Our Sail Croatia experience was exceptional, made memorable by the outstanding team of Toni and Matea. Toni was an exemplary skipper, expertly navigating us across the Croatian islands, adjusting our route to avoid winds and ensure comfort. He took us to incredible remote swimming spots and found beautiful, calm ports to dock each evening. Matea was equally outstanding. As our host and chef, she prepared a wonderful variety of fresh and delicious breakfasts and lunches throughout our journey. Every meal exceeded our expectations. Nothing was ever a problem for Toni or Matea. They were professional, relaxed, accommodating and genuinely committed to making our experience special. We felt incredibly fortunate to benefit from their combined 20+ years of experience. Their local knowledge and hospitality allowed us to relax and enjoy everything the Croatian islands had to offer. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. We could not recommend Toni and Matea highly enough.

Stunning week onboard Sizzle

It is hard to describe just how good our week onboard Sizzle was. Having loved the experience so much in June this year we decided to have another week in August. From start to finish the experience was pure joy. Andrija our skipper is simply amazing. He is a very experienced skipper and he planned the perfect mix of anchor overnights, restaurant bouys, and Marinas. Planning the route based on the weather and prevailing wind to make sure we could maximise our sailing (especially upwind) His attention to detail is second to none. A true professional skipper.

Fabulous trip would do it again! Crew and everyone the best!

Perfection!

We have been all over the world and had some amazing experiences from dogsledding in Alaska, riding the Rocky Mountaineer through Canada and walking the Camino through Spain but nothing will ever top this cruise. Our ship had just 15 other guests who were all wonderful friendly people. Every meal was a taste sensation and every day was filled with swimming in clear blue 27° water, visiting magnificent villages and experiencing a wonderfully vibrant part of the world. Thank you to Sail Croatia!

Ultimate Croatian Cruise!

Our cruise holiday was idyllic from every standpoint! The Olimp luxury yacht offered a most unique cruise experience which felt very singular. We were indulged with a daily dip in the Adriatic’s crystalline and refreshing waters in tiny private coves where we could swim, snorkel or paddle board. It was a true highlight! The smaller cruise format allowed passengers to forge a more intimate interaction with one another which truly made for a memorable sail. The crew worked tirelessly in preparing gourmet fare, cocktails and catering to our every whim while maintaining an immaculate ship. Our Tour Director, Dino with his mega watt smile was always most eager to address any issues, offer tips and make solid resto recommendations - unfailingly! We thoroughly enjoyed our family cruise through the splendid Dalmatian coast - a 5-star experience!

Great destinations

We loved the destinations we went to and the daily swim spots selected by the Captain. We were very impressed with the great service we received from our cruise director Klara. She made sure all our needs were met in s friendly, cheerful manner

Great Crew, Accommodation, Hospitality and Excursions

From boarding to disembarking a week later, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful service, good food and attention delivered by the crew on the Katrina. The itinerary was great offering a relaxing week with daily swim stops (with paddle boards and kayaking) and afternoon / evening excursions. Just a great trip and I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again.

Outstanding vacation, a lovely boat, amazing crew and fabulous guests to share our time and yes Nikos was great too. I would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia, my wife and I felt sad to be leaving, but have new friends and lovely memories.

Exceeded Our Expectations

This cruise was more than we could ever hoped for! Our room (Above Deck) was spacious and very comfortable. The dining room, lounge area and sundecks never felt crowded. The ship overall is very clean and well-maintained. The itinerary was well-balanced between active and relaxed (we leaned mostly on the latter side). We visited islands that had distinct vibes and characters. Kudos to Hana, our Tour Director, who was very thorough in providing us guidance and directions as we go exploring the islands. But our most favorite thing about the cruise was hands-down the daily swim stops. The captain took us to areas with the clearest and bluest waters. Richie made sure all our swim toys are ready to go, so we could all have maximum enjoyment in the water. The plentiful breakfasts and 3-course lunches were also quite the treat! Service was all-around warm and efficient. A huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful members of the staff for giving us such an amazing experience!

Sail Croatia

My husband and I traveled to Croatia ,to see the country of my maternal grandparents. It was an incredible experience! The people of Croatia are helpful and welcoming. Many people speak excellent English which helps when asking for directions. The cities we visited were easily accessible along the Croatian coastline. There were some places that were challenging to access, due to stairs. We were able to climb at our own pace. The small ship, Olimp, was lovely, clean and comfortable. I appreciated the fact that if I was tired, or the weather was too hot, I could return to the ship and relax . After breakfast, we swam in a small cove everyday. What made the trip even more enjoyable, was meeting fellow passengers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. I absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience Croatia.

Croatian Island hopping

It was a lovely week. We enjoyed very much going to all the islands as they all have their own special charm. We found the food on the boat to be good but the lunch portions were way too big. We would have appreciated an explanation of the food as we had to keep asking what we were eating….The desserts everyday were the best part! Swim stops were the highlight! The Taste of Croatia tour itself needs lots of work. Olive oil tasting was in a cramped store(we were picturing a trip to an olive grove), oysters and Wine tasting was a miss as well.. There are wineries and oyster farms and Instead we went to a tourist restaurant where we got poured 3 wines and had a plate of oysters. We found a winery on our own on the island of Hvar which was amazing and would have been a welcome addition to this cruise. Foodies who book this expect more and so if we recommended this trip we would say skip the Taste of and just do the explorer or elegance cruises.

A good way to see many enjoyable Croatian islands

Amazing experience and service.

The vessel, the staff, the food and the swim stops were absolutely amazing. This is a must do experience if you are visiting Croatia. Highly recommend. 5 stars all round.

Best holiday I have ever had!

Everything was amazing, staff, swim stops, food and excursions, cabins, islands. I would do this again in a heart beat they made us feel very spoilt and well looked after we had a great group of people and made new life long friends.

- Marion, 25/08/2026 06:46, Travelled with Family

Small ports, crystal clear water and sunshine

We had an amazing trip with our skipper Matea whose knowledge of these beautiful islands and spots to drop anchor and swim was very useful. Every stop offered something more than the last and my aim was to anchor in quiet bays more than ports. However every port was so nice and offered so much history, culture, food and ice cream, we went to more ports than anchorage’s. We all enjoyed it thoroughly and aim to be back in the very near future.

- Andrew, 25/08/2026 06:44, Travelled with Family

Our trip was amazing - stunning swim stops and gorgeous marinas which was made all the more special because of our fantastic skipper Matea

Fantastic

This was the first cruise we have done and turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was great. I was very fortunate to join with a fantastic group of people (28 in total) and we had the best time. The breakfast every morning was fresh. The 3 course lunch was always a treat and the Captains dinner was wonderful. The crew were all amazing. Cabins were larger than I was expecting and kept clean. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Amazing Experience

This was an incredibly memorable trip. The crew was excellent, helpful, hard working, and went above and beyond. Our tour guide Sanja did an excellent job of making this an amazing experience. She did such a good job of keeping everyone informed and organized. I did not expect the quality of the food to be so good! The chefs and bartenders do a great job of putting out delicious, well timed meals. The schedule is so well put together and balanced. Beautiful swim stops every day, plenty of time on the islands, and smooth sailing. Our cabin had more room than expected. Clean, cool, and enough space for my husband and I. Only complaint is the excursions. We enjoyed the wine tasting. But did not enjoy the bike ride, even though we were excited about it. Long walk uphill, not desirable swimming. Also didn’t enjoy the Dubrovnik walking tour. Didn’t understand our guide and the content was often irrelevant. That being said we’d do the trip 100 times again and would recommend Sail Croatia

Awesome Cruise

We had the most amazing 7-day cruise from Dubrovnik to Split for our honeymoon and absolutely loved the whole experience. The ship was beautiful and had recently been refurbished, so everything felt fresh, modern and very comfortable. Our accommodation was lovely, the food throughout the cruise was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. One of our favourite parts of the trip was the itinerary and the regular swim stops. The places we visited were beautiful and there was a really nice balance between cruising, swimming, relaxing and getting off to explore. We did have to make one or two changes to the planned stops due to conditions, but this was handled extremely well by the captain. The alternative arrangements were well thought out and we never felt that we were missing out on anything. It was such a special way to spend our honeymoon and a fantastic way to see the Croatian coast and islands. We came away with some amazing memories and wo

Relaxing And Adventurous

Fabulous holiday that provided you lots of adventure without you having to plan anything. Amazing crew and top notch food daily. By the end of the week you’ll have met many new acquaintances. Lots of daily fun facts about each island you visit. My favourite was the daily water stops where you were able to get off boat and swim in the crystal clear sea. What better way to explore beautiful Croatia than Sail Almissa!

Unforgettable Cruise

Perfect week onboard the Salve di Mare. The ship is beautiful, mix of traditional and modern. Croatia has to be the most beautiful place in Europe with every beach, cove and town being as stunning as the next. But it’s the crew, guide and fellow travellers that made it really special. Surpassed all expectations, which were high anyway. Worth 10 stars! Highly recommended

Best holiday ever!

Bike & Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations as our guides Andro & Mario were professional, caring, knowledgeable and so fun! The crew was top notch with young Sonia & Danillo keeping us all hydrated We lucked out with a very cohesive group of bikers who we now consider friends like family. Can’t wait to book another beautiful Sail Croatia again!

- Cathrin, 24/08/2026 08:46, Travelled with Family

Wow what a trip!

It was over and above all our expectations . . . a truly unique experience where we met a lot of lovely people from all over the world. The staff were amazing too. Vicko was so informative delivering just the right amount of information about all our stops and with great humour. The staff anticipated what we needed at any particular time. Food provided was of an exemplary standard. Swim stops and excursion destinations were all fabulous even though we had been in Croatia several times before the country and its islands keep on giving us new delights. It is a true gem of a place. We couldn't have wished for more.

Amazing Experience

Our holiday was truly amazing. We decided to travel on the Salve di Mare boat. It was absolutely beautiful. The boat and cabins were extremely clean and well kept. The crew was amazing. Our captain and crew were top notch! They were extremely helpful and made sure all of our needs were met at all times. We were treated extremely well. The holiday is certainly one we will remember forever and we will for sure travel with the Salve di mare again. Aldo, our Sail Croatia tour director, Hana, was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She made sure we had everything we needed to experience Croatia and she went above and beyond!

Everything was perfect!!

Swimming in the clear, warm Adriatic sea every day was spectacular. My favorite part. The food on the boat was 10 out of 10. Did not expect every meal to be literally amazing. And I have high food standards. I took a picture of every 3 course lunch. Amazing!! This is a must do vacation at least once in a lifetime…. Oh and the crew would go out if their way every time you needed anything… unreal experience.

Croatian Adventures from Dubrovnik to Split

We thought everything was pretty much spot on. The Ship and staff were excellent. Our only negative was the timing of breakfast and lunch, along with the swim stops. We understand you have to adapt the schedule each day to cooincide with when you have to be at the next Port. But for the most part in chatting with our shipmates, we felt like....hurry and get up for breakfast, hurry and eat, go for a swim....but we just ate....hurry for lunch....then we typically need time to digest. We have 3 or 4 hours between breakfast and lunch......then 6 to 8 hours between lunch and dinner. It just felt like the meals on board could be stretched out longer and not rushed. The Bar, when ordering a drink, please serve the alcohol that is listed on the menu. Those are our only negatives, otherwise we totally loved the small ship cruising experience. Special thank yous to Yolana in the Salon, and Joy the housekeeper. We found out late that she is a massage therapist..too bad that service was N/A

Service + Sea = Laughter, Fun & Desire to Stow Away

Unique experience was heightened by the crew: their smiles, going above & beyond without request, delicious food (accommodating allergies & preferences too). Favorite memories: Sailor Tino serving as cocktail server delivering to our "floating bar" we created utilizing the paddle boards during swim stops. Bartender Naeno remembering my drinks from day 1 - am manually making my fresh iced tea from brewed & pm chardonnay w/3 ice cubes. Great conversation & genuinely cared to get to know people. Bartender Joanna sweet & accommodating even when I was being "extra". Attendant Joy for keeping our cabin clean-constantly replacing bathmat & folding clothes, etc. Our space cozy and spotless too. Director Vin was funny even when he wasn't trying to be. Tip to future guests: Do not start a drinking game where you drink anytime he says the word "ALSO". If ya know, ya know. Don't forget Sailor Charlie - ALWAYS cleaning the yacht. Have a chat with him about where he's lived too.
