The Sail Cycle is one of my favorite holidays to date. The Emmanuel was clean, comfortable and the crew went out of their way to make us feel at home. Chef George’s meals were not only delicious but also kept us energized for each ride. Our guides Miranda and Josip were friendly, helpful and always ready with a fun fact about Croatia. They kept us informed about the day’s plans and ensured everything went smoothly. I can’t recommend this trip enough. It was truly an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, great food, and even better people.

We were lucky with two things: first there were only seven of us on our cruise which made it feel like a group of old friends. Second was our tour guide Dino. Always happy. Very informative and could not have been more helpful. He was the main reason for our highly successful cruise.

Although there we only 7 guests on the cruise, nothing was reduced by the crew or the services provided, they we always available and attentive. Very professional but always friendly. The tour guide, Dino, made the journey interesting but also entertaining with his stories and history of all things Croatian. His rapport with our small group turned the trip from great to unforgettably amazing. He built a connection among the group which has created what will undoubtedly be some life long friendships. Our next cruise we will looking for the Olimp and insist on Dino!

The beautiful ship Olimp, the crew and best of all our guide Dino. He was our ideal guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fantastic sense of humour, always there for us. The places we docked Dino was there always to provide all the places we wanted to see and eat. Sail Croatia gave us the best holiday of our lives in a very beautiful country. Thankyou.

The yacht is beautiful, the staff amazing, food, delicious, well organized, great cruise director, Dino, all islands we stopped in, were beautiful, and Dino insured that we saw and did everything we should do and each and every stop. Dino kept us well informed, and was such a pleasure to travel with. All of the crew on the Olympic were a pleasure to travel with

The crew on our boat was amazing. It was our very first cruise of any kind. We ran into some nasty weather and they did their best to make the best of the situation. Our shower door, however, would not stay closed during the rough seas and it kept banging against the wall and we were afraid the glass would break. We finally put suitcases in front to hold it still. My only “complaint” would be that we were told we needed to be off the ship at 9 in the morning. Our flight was not until afternoon and it being Easter.. all the luggage storage places were closed. A number of people were allowed to stay on until 10:30 and that would have make a huge difference for us. We would have eaten a much bigger breakfast instead of thinking we could find a decent breakfast in town while toting our suitcases. However.. This was the only down side . I would highly recommend this company as the overall experience was wonderful. We had a great crew and fellow passengers.

Hi Jan, Thank you so much for your kind 5 Star review and for choosing to travel with us on our Elegance cruise! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that you'd recommend Sail Croatia to others — that means the world to us. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the check-out time. We do ask guests to disembark by 9am to allow our crew time to prepare for the next arrivals at 11am, we completely understand that an early start can be a bit of a challenge, especially after a relaxing week on board. We'll continue to ensure this process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon for another unforgettable adventure!
Beautiful boat & great crew!

My trip was almost year ago, but I can’t stop thinking about how great my week was with Sail Croatia. Tilly was the best rep who guided us through the week with grace and kindness and was always there when we needed her. Would come back again!

We loved the Sail Croatia Biking adventure. Well organized, safe, good bikes, great guides and boat crew.
- Hilde, 06/02/2025 00:51, Travelled in a Couple
Miranda, Tonka, Ivica x 2, Ilija, Ivan, Miro, Mate. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We had the most interaction with our guides Miranda and Tonka and with our server Miro...they were so wonderful. There was nothing they would not do for us...rolled with the punches...gave us everything we needed...and more! The cabins were a good size, lots of storage and lots of hot water. The itinerary was perfect and we got to see lots of places both on and on the bikes. We had some travel problems but not one issue while on the cruise. Loved it!
- Carolyn, 16/11/2024 19:53, Travelled with Friend/s
I loved Ivice (our ride leader) and Anita (the sweep/story teller extraordinaire). Ivice made every ride fun and kept an eye on each one of us to make sure we stayed safe! The rides were beautiful and the terrain provided a great workout. When the weather looked iffy, Ivice and the captain came up with an alternate plan that was also fun and rewarding. The e-bikes were terrific; powerful yet easy to use! Anita always brought interesting stories each day and planned some really fun activities for the evening. Since I have been back I have raved about both of these people and recommended the trip to a number of people. I apologize for the delay in submitting this review but I did not return to the states for 34 days. Both of these people are true assets to your company and I can’t say enough good things about each of them! Thank you for a fabulous vacation and please let them know how much we loved being on vacation with them!! With deep affection, Ginnie Daine

Thanks Sail Croatia for a very relaxing, fun and interesting sail around the islands off the coast of Split. We had a great time. The catamarans were Spacious! Ensuites were a happy surprise. Skipper was excellent.
- Kathy, 04/11/2024 03:11, Travelled with Friend/s
Friendly and helpful staff, pleasant surroundings and clean, comfortable rooms. Meals on board were really good, and Ivan, our tour operator was very personable and knowledgeable. Wines were interesting and places visited were also worth while. We especially enjoyed the swim each day.
- Stephen, 03/11/2024 23:46, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Croatia did everything possible to make our 7 day wine cruise an unforgettable experience! The boat, Queen Jelena, was beautiful as well as comfortable. And the crew was exceptional from the captain to the cooks to the hospitality staff. The tour director, Ivan, was fabulous! He was well-organized, thorough, kind and had a great sense of humor. He kept us well-informed about the day's plans and previewed up-coming excursions. We enjoyed the daily swims, and the on-shore activities were worthwhile, well selected, and we had plenty of time to enjoy them. The food was exceptional: delicious, superbly presented and served promptly. We don't see how the cooks managed to get such great meals out of a small galley. Everything about the cruise was excellent! We were lucky with the weather and our congenial group of shipmates. We recommend Sail Croatia without reservation, and the wine cruise adds an interesting dimension to the tour if you are interested in wine.

We had a wonderful time thanks to the staff and the beautiful people of Croatia! Ivan was a fantastic host and went out of his way to ensure that every guest was taken care of. Pamela, our server/bartender, was kind, courteous, and friendly. Our cabin was spacious, comfortable, clean, and bath was larger than expected. The other guests onboard were exceptionally friendly and a joy to be around. The experiences at various wine venues were so memorable. We are still enjoying reminiscing and chuckling about our trip. Do not hesitate to book an Elegance Wine Tour, it was so much fun!
- Tony, 02/11/2024 22:30, Travelled in a Couple
Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!
- Lauren, 27/10/2024 12:48, Travelled Solo
I had a wonderful time. The cruise was amazing...beautiful food, friendly staff and excellent hike guidance by Marte and Andro. I can't say enough to thank everyone for looking after me so well.
- Sue Ashmore, 27/10/2024 07:58, Travelled Solo
The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.
- Aimee, 26/10/2024 22:10, Travelled Solo
This cruise was full of fun, relaxation and some of the best natural sights I've ever seen. Anita's knowledge of Croatia and where would be best to go was invaluable. We will be back!

The sailors took pride in their ship, always on top of their responsibilities. Our room was comfortable as advertised, staff friendly.

What an adventure! Sailing on the Olimp was fantastic. First, the cruise leader, Ioana. Wow. Dynamic, organized, fun. Not sure the cruise would have been the same without her leading the way. The ship itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful to make sure all our needs were met. Beautiful destinations and fun history tours. Even though we were traveling with friends, the new friends we made helped make things even better. Would be happy to go again.

The beautiful girls always with a beautiful beautiful smile nothing was ever a problem also the lovely friendly chefs who served amazing food along with the happy deck hands and our wonderful Captain. Ivan was a wonderful host always explaining everything in great detail with a smile always on his face and very knowledgeable and loved all their passion for their religion. Room was very spacious and showers so good. Loved all the tours and adventures . Also loved how intimate it was with the small number and all lovely people . Thank you for a very memorable cruise with you all and we wish you lots of happines we will definitely recommend the cruise to our friends.

This trip was wonderful from beginning to end. Croatia is a beautiful country and we were able to enjoy it both on land and while cruising the Adriatic. The ship, Queen Jelena, was our comfortable floating hotel. The cabin/bath were a good size ( the bed a wee bit hard) and the ship's common areas offered various areas to sit, lounge, meet friends or just enjoy being on the sea. The food was delicious, the crew was fantastic and incredibly hard working, the wine tastings and cultural experiences were lots of fun. Our trip manager Ivan was absolutely top notch. The small group size made it easy to mingle with the other guests which made the experience even richer (although a list of guest names and name tags for the crew, at least initially, would have been helpful for getting acquainted the first few days. I would highly recommend the Sail Croatia wine cruise.
- Barbara, 22/10/2024 10:09, Travelled with Friend/s
The ship, Olmp, was immaculate and the crew always helpful. With only 36 passengers the experience was very personal and we were fortunate to have a very interesting and homogenous group . The meals served were all delicious but the service was a little too efficient for me. I prefer a slower pace while eating. The only meal that I would avoid n the future is the so called "BBQ". Definitely not up t the chefs usually high standards. The Sail Croatia cruise is a great way to sample all that Croatia has to offer. Our cruise director, Ioana, added another dimension to our touring experience. We all had a wonderful and educational experience on the cruise
- Jay, 22/10/2024 08:22, Travelled with Friend/s
We had the best time on the Olimp especially having a great tour guide, Ionna. The only thing I would have liked changed was to have coffee and tea readily available. Thanks for a wonderful holiday and very memorable.

Even before we started our cruise, Sail Croatia’s service was exceptional. They provided us with a complimentary pick up from the airport, and if we had have been going straight home, they would have provided an airport drop off too. This attention to detail continued right through our cruise. We did a Wine Cruise, which I believe is fairly new to the itinerary, but you’d never have know because it was so well planned and took us to so many beautiful wineries to sample an array of local wines. Our ship was Queen Jelena and it was just stunning. We had a cabin on the lower deck and we were absolutely delighted with it. It was spacious and comfortable. We had breakfast and lunch every day on the ship and the quality and quantity was exceptional!!! Pamela, our waitress and bar attendant was very friendly and efficient and couldn’t have done more for us. We were so fortunate to have Ivan as our guide, he was absolutely amazing. He made himself available all day every day. Best trip ever!
- Lee Goodall, 22/10/2024 06:07, Travelled with Friend/s
We went on the 7 day wine cruise, where we got to experience different Croatian wines and a different island every day. The food was fantastic and every meal was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the daily swim stops and the whole cultural experience. The rooms were spacious and we had our own ensuite. We both thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would definitely recommend this as an enjoyable, relaxing and culturally holiday experience.

The Elegance cruise aboard the Olimp was such a delight! The holiday was effortless and the onboard food an absolute standout. Our tour guide was very entertaining, helpful and always available. The swim stops were a highlight for me. The cabin was roomy and the Olimp is beautifully maintained by a committed crew. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

My husband and myself signed up for this cruise with 5 other friends and we had a fantastic time. The Olimp is very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The crew was awesome- Ioana was an organized and fun cruise director who kept us informed and provided great recs for each stop of our cruise. This was our first time on a cruise and we found that the size of the ship and number of guests was just perfect. We enjoyed getting to know other guests on the cruise. Sail Croatia did an excellent job of communicating before the cruise as well.

Our group of six experienced an amazing week of beautiful scenery and wonderful people. We had 26 other tourists from six countries, and we all enjoyed each other's company. The tour guides -- Miranda and Tonka -- made it all happen. From the start, they encouraged mingling. They challenged us with the rides, and they engaged us with their stories. Super memorable trip. Pomalo!

We recently returned from an incredible 7-day sailing charter with Sail Croatia, and we can’t recommend it enough! We were greeted by Ante our skipper for the week, planned out our trip and set sail that same afternoon. We spent the next few days exploring the stunning islands off Croatia. Most days we would stop to swim in crystal-clear waters and prepare a luncheon before sailing off to our next port. We enjoyed one day on land in Vis and explored the island on scooters which was another fun adventure. The boat was spacious for the 6 of us and well-equipped, with comfortable cabins and a beautiful deck perfect for day sailing. Our skipper Ante was fantastic and arranged some very fun evenings for us – dinner at a vineyard and another at an inland Konoba featuring traditionally prepared meals. He was also very conscientious about giving us our space while always being close at hand. This sailing charter exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend!

I have done a lot of travelling. This is one of the best trips I have ever been on. The boat, staff, food and staff were excellent. The key to the trip was Ivan and Lucy as group leaders. They did an excellent job and worked together very well. It was obvious that they had spent considerable time the previous evening organizing events for the following day. They were always very upbeat and made a point of socializing with us during. Ivan was a great bike leader. He ensured our rides were as safe as possible. He was very helpful when people had trouble with their bikes. He was a good first aider when there were minor injuries (the accidents were not his fault). He organized a special trip at the request of one of our group. Lucy did a very good job with presentations during our various rides. She also ensured that everything was done safely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with intermediate biking skills, as long as the group leaders were Ivan and Lucy.

We had a wonderful time on our Elegance Cruise. We've only been on one cruise before and that was a huge ship; it was so impersonal. With Sail Croatia, there were just 18 cabins, it was so much more intimate and we made new friends from around the world. The captain, crew and our cruise director Ioana couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The Croatian coastline and islands are spectacular; we saw architecture and history we never knew existed; and the people were a joy. We highly recommend you do the same if you get the chance.

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!

Ivice and Anita did a fantastic job planning our cycling activities, telling us about the various towns and their highlights, and providing considerable assistance with restaurants, additional experiences, and answering innumerable questions. They were SO customer focused and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The ship's crew was similarly helpful - from Captain Ivan's thoughtful route updates to keep us in good weather to Paola's friendly service in the galley/bar and Olga's attention to detail in keeping our cabins clean and comfy. The meals were tasty and nutritious, and the e-bikes were new and very effective at assisting us up the sometimes steep inclines. This was a great way to see the Croatian islands - highly recommend!

My first experience on a yacht/small cruise ship. All of the crew aboard the Olimp were fabulous in their efforts to make our cruise enjoyable. It was obvious that all of the crew take pride in their work and they were all excellent in executing their duties. Our Sail Croatia host, Ioanna, was also fabulous. She kept us informed and fostered camaraderie amongst all of the guests. She was exceptional at that! Ioanna also planned some excellent walking tours of Croatia which included visits to historic sites, national parks, family farms, beaches, jeep tours and restaurants. The food on the yacht was great! Great chef! Great Captain! Thank you for the several swim stops at beautiful, remote locations. That was something that one rarely gets to do. All in all, a great vacation and I highly recommend a cruise on the Olimp!
