Our trip from Split to Dubronik on the Contessa was magical. The swim stops and scenery were beautiful. Access to the swim floaties and paddle boards was a wonderful addition. The boat was recently renovated and fresh. The cabin was quiet and had an ensuite, and there was adequate storage. Staff was friendly, and Hannah had answers to our daily questions. At times, the food on board was a bit too hearty for me otherwise, the breakfasts and lunches were nice.

Fabulous Cruise Highly Recommend

We had a wonderful week on the Sal de Mare ship, the crew outstanding, The guys behind the bar so friendly and helpful especially as I needed ice packs for a sprained ankle, Richard one of the crew and in charge of our swim stops a fantastic asset to you, the staff in the kitchen amazing and last but not least the lady who cleaned our rooms and did all of the endless washing, is a star. The captain and Vicko our guide were the absolute best in the business. I also have to say the ship was spotless, so clean and so organised. I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone as every member of the crew were faultless. The highlight each day are the swim stops at the prettiest of locations where the water is crystal clear and calm. The meals on board were fantastic and varied catering for everyone. Lastly the captains dinner was such fun, even if we were very loud we all had so much fun. Thank-you Sail Croatia I hope to be back and will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family

The Best Week - with the best people

Yoga Cruise 2026 Dora, the cruise manager, the crew and the mix of travellers made this the perfect week away. If I could rate 6 stars I would it’s simply that good. Prefect mix of itinerary, ports, food, fun, activities, morning yoga and fellow travellers all out for a good time. The days filled with fun on the ship, docking and evenings are wide open to explore, eat and enjoy the magical Croatian islands. This is the definition of the best one week vacation - I recommend this in an instant - book and you will never look back.

Best Trip EVER!

We are well-seasoned European travellers & this was our favourite trip so far. The staff made the trip for us, Marin would give us a history of the area and make suggestions as to where to go and things not worth exploring. He would also make any reservations necessary. Joanna & Neno made incredible drinks behind the bar - The Contessa and Pina Colado were my favourites! Teno and Charlie were the sailors on board and made sure everyone was safe and the boat was secure - also, incredibly friendly and helpful. Joy was pure joy - always accomodating when cleaning our room. The chefs were absolutely fantastic, I have never been to a country where I did not have one bad meal! The food on the boat was incredible. The boat itself was fantastic, rooms were roomy, bathroom was spotless and all the public spaces were spacious enough to get away if you wanted to be alone. Overall, this was the best travel experience I have ever had and would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

Memorable week

Our week on the Contessa walking around the Croatia islands was pure magic. So many things to love about it from the size of the boat, the variety of the stops and some nice simple excursions at each one not too expensive, the active days swimming and then beautiful lunches on board before exploring a different island and loved dining on shore each night. Our tour guide Hana was just wonderful and made our trip easy with daily advise, history and support with so many links and always there for anything we needed. Food was lovely and cabins a great size too. Can’t fault it, will go down as one of our best holidays

Fantastic small boat cruise

Great. Was better than expected. So lovely to be with only a small group of 36 passengers to travel around on a refurbished, relaxing boat. Great having a different swim stop every day that you can dive off at the back of the boat. Also importantly exploring a new town/ island everyday and getting the opportunity to experience it in daylight and night time. So convenient having the boat moored so close to these historic scenic towns. Crew were fabulous, very attentive and in a way often invisible (I say that in a positive way in that they were very discrete and quiet in doing their duties). Hana our Tour Guide was excellent in her talks giving enough history and culture and practical tips. Her timing of talks and explanations of things to do and practical tips was spot on. She was always very attentive checking in with everyone and handling minor misunderstandings or hiccups (often to do with outside operator). Excellent range of activities Will be recommending to friends

Great trip

We sailed the 7 day sail croatia on the Contessa. Had a great time, swim stops were a favourite and towns we stopped at were all stunning. Shout out to Hana our tour guide, Nelo our bartender , cleaner and our 2 sailor's and all the staff on the boat were so lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Everything was spotless. Breakfast and lunch provided was also amazing so thankyou to the 2 chef's on board. Would highly recommend . Brad and Renae Sugg

Sail Croatia fabulous time

We had a wonderful time. The ship was clean at all times. After our swim the staff was mopping the floors. Our room was cleaned every day. This attention to detail was apparent and appreciated. Everyone was friendly and kind. The food was always delicious. Hanna our cruise director was so helpful and her informative presentations at lunch helped us with what to do on each island and learn a little history of the people. You couldn’t help but notice how hard she worked caring for 35 guests around the clock. We loved her. We made so many friends while we were on board, it was an unexpected surprise. I would recommend this cruise to anyone thinking about visiting Croatia. Our thanks to all your wonderful crew that made this trip so memorable.

Best Vacation Ever!

What an incredible week! We spent 7 days aboard the Salve Di Mare with just 33 passengers, and it was easily the highlight of our two weeks in Croatia. At 162 feet, the boat had all the creature comforts we could ask for, but was still small enough to visit the charming little ports and historic towns and islands along the Dalmatian coast. Every day seemed to have the perfect balance of exploring, amazing food, fascinating history and time to simply relax. I especially miss our daily swim stops in beautiful, secluded coves with crystal-clear water. What really made the week unforgettable was the crew. Vicko, our fun organizer, was fantastic and by the end of the week felt more like family. The entire crew was warm, friendly and made us feel completely at home. We made wonderful memories and made wonderful new friends. I would go back tomorrow if I could!

Amazing!

I loved Sail Croatia! The daily swim stops were my favorite part. Being on a small cruise ship was a great way to explore many coastal towns and islands without having to coordinate all the logistics myself. The staff was wonderful, the boat was beautiful and the food was of high quality. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Exceeded expectations! 5 star crew!

Magnificent! This trip exceeded my hopes & expectations. Even though I had heard from dozens of friends who traveled with Sail Croatia previously about the high quality crew, food, accommodations and service, I was still pleasantly surprised at how great everything was for the whole week.

Sail Croatia

We booked the explorer cruise on the Contessa ship and had a great experience! The ship was very nice and newly renovated. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful! The food and drinks were amazing. Marin helped us make dinner reservations and gave really great recommendations for things to do at each port.

Trip of a lifetime!

Our Sail Croatia honeymoon was absolutely incredible! Our boat, the Contessa, was beautiful and very comfortable, the itinerary was amazing, and every destination was unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery. The entire crew made the experience truly exceptional and they all went above and beyond to make our time on the boat special. Marin, our trip leader, kept everything running smoothly and made the trip so much fun. Neno and Jovana, our bartenders, brought amazing energy day and night. Tino a Charlie, our sailors, were always extremely helpful and friendly. Kristijana, our boat manager, always made sure everything was perfect. Joy, our maid, kept everything clean and comfortable throughout the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon or crew. Sail Croatia gave us memories we’ll cherish forever, and we highly recommend it! 5/5 stars without hesitation!

- Danielle, 05/09/2026 13:07, Travelled in a Couple

An Incredible Experience

We had the pleasure of sailing with best crew who were incredibly professional, kind, knowledgeable, outgoing and fun. Marin led the charge and his positive attitude and thorough commutation set the tone for the best experience. Kristijana (boat manager) was behind the scenes allowing for the operation to run seamlessly. Neno and Jovana (bartenders) were so kind and engaging, and became fast friends with all of the guests. Marko and Bane (chefs) prepared delicious meals each day. Joy (housekeeper) made our rooms spotless daily, and Charlie, Tino (sailors) and Slavko (captain) made sure the boat and our voyage was safe and smooth. Each of these individuals work tirelessly to make everyone’s experience extraordinary. The service provided exceeded our expectations. Croatia is such a unique and stunning country. Sail Croatia allowed us to see so many incredible areas and learn about the history, culture and beauty the country has to offer. I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Amazing adventure.

Sail Croatia was amazing. The Almissa was a wonderful boat with an incredible staff. Sanja, who was our cruise director, was so helpful and informative. The bartenders, Caesar and Kafka, were fun and attentive. The food was incredible. The swim stops were idyllic. I would highly recommend this company and this boat.

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!

- Pete, 28/08/2026 08:41, Travelled in a Couple

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!

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!

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

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

We had an excellent time with Sail Croatia and the Salve Di Mare. The crew and our host were so fun and accommodating. It was the perfect way to explore the Dalmatian Coast.

- Dillon, 24/08/2026 02:12, Travelled in a Couple

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.

A fantastic balance of relaxation and exploration. Hana and the crew on Almissa were attentive and informative throughout the cruise. Such fun people to sail with and they set the friendly, inclusive tone for the trip. I will be recommending Hana and the Almissa cruise to all my friends and family. I’ll be dreaming of the swim stops and cocktails on board for weeks! Really fun holiday for all!

BEST trip EVER!!!!

This was my wife and I's first cruise, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We joined another couple who chose the trip, and we're so glad they did. The Explorer level was perfect for active people in their 40s/50s who enjoy having fun both on and off the boat. The crew was AMAZBALLZ: accommodating, fun, knowledgeable, and always making sure we had everything we needed. Hana, our tour director, went above and beyond to make the trip special. Kafka and Cesar were outstanding, always taking great care of us and adding to the experience. We even got to meet the owner of the Almissa, Pave, who was super friendly and fun to spend time with. The captain and crew kept everything running smoothly all week, which was especially appreciated during the heat. What an incredible way to experience Croatia and enjoy our first cruise. The memories will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Expectations Exceeded

From the moment we walked onto Almissa our expectations were exceeded. The boat was clean and our room was spacious. It was evident early on that the crew was just fantastic. Hana greeted us and made sure from the get go that we had everything we needed or wanted. She was available for reservations, questions, and did a great job filling us in on each destination and providing restaurant and site seeing recommendations. She truly went above and beyond. Not to mention she's just a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. Kafka and Cesar made sure everyone had a great time. They would be up late chatting and sharing stories with guests and then up early each morning with a smile on their faces. The food was fantastic throughout. We were nervous that things would be bland or generic but they were anything but. Every part of this trip was fantastic, we would highly recommend.

An amazing way to experience Croatia’s coast

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is absolutely beautiful, but sailing with the Sail Croatia ship and crew made the experience truly unforgettable. My partner and I were looking for a fun and stress-free vacation—and that’s exactly what we got. It was such a gift to wake up to sun and clear blue waters for seven mornings in a row and be greeted each day by the most warm and hospitable team, including our wonderful servers, and delicious food. Our Guide, Hana, also made the entire experience feel effortless. Her guidance, support, and genuine care made such a difference; from sharing the background of each island we visited, to organizing group happy hours and transportation, to recommending incredible places for dinner. She always seemed to have everything covered, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy being there. The combination of Croatia’s incredible scenery, the wonderful people, and the ease of the experience made this a vacation we’ll never forget.

Best holiday ever!

I have traveled the world and usually do active adventure traveling, like hiking or biking. This vacation allowed me to relax, make few decisions, eat well, and play in the water and on land. I loved the paddle boards and floaties! The staff was amazing! The Contessa is a beautiful vessel! And all the locations were stunning! The only recommendations I have are to provide correct information: I was told I didn’t need to bring a beach towel and that additional bath gel would be helpful.

- Katie, 14/08/2026 09:05, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent!!

Sail Croatia was beyond amazing!! Klara, our cruise director was THE best!! She was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and fun! We loved the smaller boat! The amount of people on the cruise allowed us to feel that things were tailored to us! We loved the morning swim stops. The excursions were fun and reasonably priced! Breakfast and lunch on board were delicious! The chef was accommodating to distract restrictions. I do not eat a ton of fish which was a popular dish. They were willing to cook other things when notified about the dietary preference before the sailing. The rooms were spacious and clean! If we needed anything the staff was quick to help and get us what we needed. Overall one is the best trips we have taken! If you are debating on booking Sail Croatia- DO IT!! You’ll be happy you did!!

Beautiful Croatia

When I booked the trip with sail Croatia I wasn’t really sure what to expect. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Every day we stopped in the morning for a swim and then dock for the evening. All the towns were beautiful and we enjoyed every excursion we did. The staff on the boat were exceptionally nice. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you sail Croatia.

Explorer cruise - Split to Dubrovnik

We travelled from Split to Dubrovnik on an Explorer cruise on the Esperanz in early August. The cruise was amazing for a number of reasons. The boat was very comfortable with a nice sized cabin, a great roof top area to sunbake and a great dinning room. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating and the cruise director was brilliant. The itinerary was great with the daily swim stops in crystal clear water and then then docking in port for an evening experience. The islands were amazing with each town that we visited had something different to offer. Every island had great restaurants and bars with friendly staff. We also had a great group on the boat. There were around 20 guests on our trip and everyone got on really well. The cruise director made sure there were plenty of networking opportunities which made the trip more enjoyable. We made new friends, shared lots of experiences and we were sad to finish the trip. Overall, and amazing trip and highly recommended.

Wonderful week on an awesome ship with an excellent crew!

Had a fantastic time onboard Almissa from Split to Dubrovnik even in the heatwave conditions! Loved having aircon in our room to escape the heat at times. Food was great, cabins & ensuite bigger than we’d imagined, swim spots all beautiful, crew amazing (skipper Joseph, Ante & Kafka in the bar & serving us, Hana our tour director, kitchen & sailing crew, all absolutely amazing people! We could relax as much as we wanted, snorkel, swim, float, paddleboard off the boat (not when docked) or sign up for many other activities (extra cost). Having to ‘walk’ through other boats when docked was even a fun experience! We enjoyed exploring the coastal towns of an afternoon / evening. If you’re considering this cruise stop ‘thinking about it’ & do it!

Must Do Trip once in your life

Our trip on the Salve Di Mare was unbelievable. Everyone on the crew made us feel like family from the captain, to the sailors, to our favorite bartenders Marco and Vlaho, the chefs Bojan and Elena, the maid Julija and our amazing cruise director Barbara. Everything was first class and 5 stars. Dining was gourmet 5 star meals. Accommodations were spacious, clean and quiet. There was a good mix of scenic sailing when we could relax in the sun, daily swim stops, great meals and amazing destinations. There were daily excursions offered but we opted to simply take the time in port to explores the quaint ancient cities and walk the cobbled streets. The local food for dinners was great. The entire week was well plan and I would without hesitation recommend everyone to choose Sail Croatia. I would definitely choose the Salve Di Mare as it was much more luxurious than other yachts but well worth the higher price. Your only regret will come the last day when you must say goodbye

- Rob, 06/08/2026 17:39, Travelled in a Couple

Best holiday yet!

What an amazing week we had on the Salve Di Mare. The perfect mix of relaxing on a morning at swim stops to exploring all afternoon. Every single meal on board was so tasty.

Salve Di Mare

We (boyfriend and I) traveled on Salve Di Mare mid July from Dubrovnik to Split. We regularly take trips/vacations and this has by far been one of our favorite. Barbara was wonderful as was the rest of the crew, especially our bartenders. Mornings were very relaxed on the boat and lunch was incredible every day. Arrived at each destination around 1-2 PM which left plenty of time to explore in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a slower paced way to visit the coast of Croatia.

Would definitely book again and plan on it.

From the moment we arrived at the dock we were welcomed and our Vacation truly started. All bags were transported to our room. This was where we first met Hana, who took such good care of us throughout the trip. Hana introduced us to the Captain and Crew, and gave us all the information we needed to get the most our of our stay with Sail Croatia. From Hana's expert guidance throughout , to the Crew getting us situated for daily swim time and in and out of ports with ease and to the amazing drinks and meals prepared for us on the boat, we could not have been more pleased. Thank you all for all you do!

Amazing, friendly & helpful crew

We enjoyed our 7 day cruise. Niko was very informative of the history of our stops and things to do and places to eat. We couldn’t fault any of the crew, they were all very friendly and helpful.

Amazing experience.

We had a wonderful time on the Contessa, Niko and the staff were wonderful. Decor was top level. The boat wasn’t full but we had a great group that had a great time together. We did ask to change rooms as it was very noisy when the boat was running.

Incredible

The reviews don't lie. It's a five-star experience in a spectacular country with beautiful people. My wife and I went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and were treated to a first-class trip in every way. Our cruise director was outstanding: knowledgeable, funny, well connected and became a good friend. Our fellow travelers were wonderful; plenty of opportunities to connect and also do our own thing. The boat was beautiful and the food was fantastic. Croatia is a dream of a country; the islands are so lovely, each a little different from the last. The weather was perfect. We couldn't recommend more highly.

- James, 21/07/2026 17:33, Travelled in a Couple

Incredible in every way!

We absolutely loved our time with Sail Croatia. This is the best way to see and experience the Dalmatian islands. The food was incredible, the room and boat very clean and nice, and the host was gracious and super informative and helped us take advantage of the right excursions and our time on each island. The swim stops are the best! You won't regret choosing Sail Croatia!

Memory of a Lifetime

I can't say enough about Sail Croatia and this amazing seven day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. It was so well organized, and all of the stops were beautiful and perfectly curated. It was the perfect blend of fun and adventure, with a great group of people. Highlights were the swim stop every day and of course, all of the beautiful Dalmatian islands with the Port towns and activities. The ship (Salve di Mare) and the accommodations were also fabulous. The rooms were spacious and each had their own bathroom. The meals were wonderful. The crew was so friendly and helpful and Our tour guide , with Sail Croatia (Vin) took great care of us. I couldn't think of a better way to see the Dalmatian coast than doing it this way!!!

- Andrea, 21/07/2026 10:40, Travelled in a Couple

What a cruise

Moment we boarded the ship the service was top level. Our tour manager Barbra was amazing giving us our daily activities and giving us a good overview of each stop. The chefs that provided us our 2 meals each day were so delicious. The way the ship is set up is a great way to meet and get to know all the guests on the boat. Got to make a lot of new friends from the Uk,USA and Australia. We recommend this trip to anyone that would like to have a relaxing trip, eat great food, visit hidden gems of Croatia and meet amazing people from all over. Pictures do not do it justice, you have to visit yourself to see the true beauty of the country of Croatia

15/10 Stars - absolutely phenomenal

My husband and I had a blast on the trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure! We were easily able to pick when we wanted to sightsee, participate in more adventurous activities, or have a chill beach day. The boat exceeded our expectations; our room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. The waters and scenery of Croatia were stunning; the swim stops were some of the best parts of our trip. I was worried about getting on a boat with a shellfish allergy, but the kitchen staff was easily able to accommodate my allergy, as well as others on our trip (gluten free, pescatarian, etc). Additionally, our guide Vic was awesome; he was a wealth of knowledge about everything from the history and culture Croatia to where the best place to watch the World Cup would be. He presented many fun options of what to do on every island. It really felt like we had a private guide (who knew everyone) at every stop. If we could book to go again, tomorrow we would!

- Madeleine, 21/07/2026 08:01, Travelled in a Couple

Exceeded all expectations

My husband and I and two good friends (another couple) spent a week on the Salve di Mare and it was magical. The beauty of the Dalmatian coast, the swimming off the boat, excellent food, and the excursions were perfect and unforgettable. The staff on the boat were also professional and so kind. They made everything go so smoothly and put everyone at ease. Sail Croatia was also fantastic—great communication and information armed us with clear expectations that somehow the Salve di Mare crew and beautiful Croatia vastly exceeded. Highly recommend!

Queen Jelena Explorer Cruise

An unforgettable experience. The boat was immaculate, and the cabins, complete with private ensuites, were comfortable and well maintained. The staff were amazing, and the delicious three-course meals served every day were definitely a highlight. The food was consistently excellent, and the crew went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. One of the best parts of the trip was the wonderful group of fellow guests, along with the outstanding crew. Our cruise guide, Dino, was exceptional. He was friendly, approachable, and genuinely cared about making sure every guest had the best possible experience. He took the time to understand what my partner and I enjoyed and recommended excursions that suited us perfectly. Beyond the cruise itself, Dino shared fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, bars, and hidden gems in every town we visited, helping us experience Croatia like a local. He is a real asset to Sail Croatia, his passion and pride for his country shone through

The best week!

I traveled with my partner on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise and we could not have asked for a better experience! Such an amazing way to see the Croatian coastline with a variety of excursions available. Our crew and tour manager were so accommodating and personable! The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. I could not recommend Sail Croatia enough!

- Scott, 13/07/2026 10:12, Travelled in a Couple

Best holiday ever!

From the start the crew were extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was immaculate and stylish, the cabin was spacious and comfortable. We were not disturbed by noise from the boat or other people. Nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary worked really well, there was enough down time to relax, sunbathe and swim. The excursions added a fun dynamic to the trip and were mostly fun and exciting. We did cycling, kayaking, wine tasting, zip lining (the best!!) plus plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian towns which I hadn’t expected to be so charming. There was plenty of choice of restaurants and bars and our crew gave us recommendations on where to eat , even making reservations for us. The food on board was delicious, make sure you advise about dietary restrictions at the time if booking so that they can plan ahead for you. We were extremely lucky that the people on board were fantastic. We all bonded really well which made the experience very special…… a cruise family!!

Amazing experience

We sailed on the Contessa. The ship and crew were amazing. Our room was comfortable and more spacious than we had anticipated. The entire ship was spotless. The breakfast buffet always provided a nice variety of choices. The lunch menu changed each day and every meal was delicious. Tour manager Nickos gave us great information each day and worked hard to make sure all guests enjoyed each port. Bartenders Martin and Nino kept us well hydrated and were a lot of fun. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Great small boat experience with swimming stops, and small town adventures lead by a wonderful leader Klara. She was super helpful and guided us to lots of fun. Really liked eating out at restaurants almost every evening. Really liked the food onboard and especially appreciated getting Gluten Free food which I needed. The staff onboard was exceptional. Highly reccommend.

Esperanza

My husband and I chose sail croatia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed warmly by Sanja our cruise director. From the minute we walked on board we felt like a family. The crew was so welcoming and the boat was beautiful. Sanja was most pleasant and attentive throughout the cruise. Vlad our chef for the week outdone himself. The food was outstanding. The bartenders were also so pleasant. Our group bonded like a family and spent multiple days and nights together. The pace of the cruise was perfect. The choice of islands and suggested activities were amazing. By the end of the week we were so sad to leave our sail Croatia family. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to relax, is up for an adventure and wants to meet new friends. Also, request Sanja as your sail Croatia guide. Thanks, Sarah and Dan Link

- sarah, 07/07/2026 15:42, Travelled in a Couple

Fabulous cruise through the beautiful islands of Croatia

Our trip was fantastic. The boat and crew were lovely and super helpful. And our tour manager Josip was knowledgeable and accessible to us in person and via Whstsapp. It was the perfect balance of gorgeous swim stops and docking and experiencing multiple islands and all they had to offer. We never felt rushed and had time to explore what we wanted - both planned activities that we could partake in or helping us plan our own adventure. I would highly recommend this trip to people wanting a more intimate experience of the islands that a large cruise ship cannot provide.

Why would you ever want to leave

Sailing on the Ezperanza with Sail Croatia was honestly one of those trips that just felt easy in the best way. From the start, it didn’t feel like a typical tour—it felt more like being part of a group of friends all exploring together. Every day had its own rhythm, whether we were cruising through ridiculously clear water, stopping to swim in quiet little coves, or wandering through coastal towns that somehow all felt unique. And the views never got old—just endless blue water, sun, and those unreal sunsets that made you stop and take it in. What really made it stand out, though, was the vibe on the boat. The crew set the tone, and everyone just clicked. It was a mix of relaxing during the day and fun nights hanging out, laughing, and enjoying the moment. The Ezperanza ended up feeling like our home for the week, and by the end, it didn’t even feel like a trip anymore—it felt like something we didn’t want to leave.

Sail Croatia - Salve Di Mare

Everything was perfect with Sail Croatia, especially in Salve Di Mare, the cruises that we haved sail. The captain was a great guy, also all crew member. Josip, our tour guide, was also always very helpful and kind. Excellent food and drinks. Beautiful excursions. It was an even better experience than we could have expected.

Back to Paradise!

We’ve just come back from our second sailing adventure around the stunning Croatian Islands on the Salve Di Mare, and it truly exceeded our expectations; everything was perfect. We had an incredible time, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones along the way. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew for making our journey so happy and unforgettable. Their service, dedication, and genuine sense of fun throughout the trip were absolutely top-notch! A huge shout out to; Sasa, Marko, Vlaho, Bogan, Zadojko, Julia, Captain Frane, Fadil & Rici, you are all amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend this sailing voyage to everyone. We’ve returned home feeling relaxed and filled with many happy memories that we will cherish forever. We boarded the boat as strangers and disembarked as friends… THANK YOU!

Great taste of Croatia

Loved our trip on Sail Croatia. Great boat. Plenty of space. Above deck rooms were a really good size. Good size bathrooms. The crew were awesome. Loved all the meals without exception. Sail Croatia….would be good to have more information about embarking and disembarking locations before the trip so we could book accommodation accordingly.

Spoiled forever

We just returned from the Sail Croatia Explorer trip and cannot say enough about the incredible experience. The boat is new and the cabins were roomy. From the very first day, our cruise director Borna went above and beyond. He and the crew ensured every meal accommodated my gluten allergy. He shared fascinating local history and tips at every port we visited during our morning briefings. The excursions offered were fabulous and well coordinated. We had plenty of time to explore in every port. The highlight of our trip was celebrating our anniversary on one of the islands. Borna took the extra care to call ahead and arrange a romantic table with a breathtaking view of the sea, a gesture that made the evening truly unforgettable. The passengers from all over the world are now lifetime friends. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone, without hesitation. We are spoiled forever and could never take a big cruise ship again. Five stars, easily!

It was me and my husband’s first cruise. We had a great experience that exceeded our expectations. The boat has a modern decoration, the room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The crew were very professional and friendly. Lola “the cruise director” organized all the excursions and gave us many tips about the best restaurants, bars, and even ATMs, she’s very professional and sweet. I highly recommend Contessa cruise, a 5 stars experience.

The perfect week

The Mali Ante was the perfect ship to be on. The cruise food was great Croatia style meals and the drink prices were reasonable. The Captain’s dinner was perfect, as were the drinks and dancing afterwards. Our cruise director, Elena, was very helpful and knowledgeable. We cruised in early June, which I think is the perfect time to go. The water is just warm enough to swim, but the cities are not as crowded as they will be later in the summer. Recommend bringing swim shoes, an inflatable “noodle”, and maybe a 1mm neoprene swim top if you get easily cold when swimming. Also, we liked our lower cabin. Seemed to be a little roomier and quieter.

You'll never regret booking on Contessa

We booked the Explorer cruise aboard the Contessa with Sail Croatia expecting nothing more than a floating hotel and an efficient way to explore Croatia's islands. What we didn't expect was to love it so much! We chose the Contessa because of its recent retrofit. The ship felt brand new: modern, elegant, and relaxed. Our cabin was even larger than many cruise ship rooms, with a spacious walk-in shower. Having read so many bad reviews about some of the older vessels, we were thrilled with our choice, as the Contessa truly stood out. The food was consistently good. Our bartenders Martin and Nino quickly learned everyone's preferences and delivered incredible service with warmth, personality, and remarkable attention to detail. Anita, our Cruise Director, kept everything running seamlessly from start to finish. From daily itineraries and restaurant recommendations to helping guests make the most of each island, she never missed a beat. She knows how to create an unforgettable experience.

My wife and I had an amazing time on board Salve Di Mare, we did the explorer cruise, which was just perfect for us, offering grear activities but was also very relaxing. Our ship was beautiful, spacious rooms, great areas for soaking up the sun and just beautiful all round. Matilda, our rep was amazing. She went above and beyond for each guest, was super friendly, gave great insights into each location we went to, helped ensure each activity and program ran smoothly. She also gave fantastic recommendations into where to eat, drink and enjoy the locations we would stop at. Matilda did an amazing job as our rep, we were super lucky to have her. A special thank you as well to our amazing crew, Captain Frane, Sailors Fadil and Richi, Waiters/Barmen Vlaho and Marko, Chefs Bojan and Fani, and our Maid Julija. You all were absolutely amazing and so great at your jobs. Thank you! We made many fantastic memories, and new friendships too. Sail Croatia is definitely a top highlight for us.

Great friendships and memories formed. Highly recommend!

Why would I ever travel any other way again?

Best holiday ever. From the boat and the tour guide, to the stops and food. Ceili, our tour guide, was amazing - super professional but still showing us where we can find something fun, interesting, and exciting. Always came up with the best suggestions and was happy to hear our experiences at places we discovered on our own. The organized group dinners, drinks, and moments were great. Thanks for taking us up that hill Ceili!! The boat and crew need a separate review of their own to brag about how perfect they were. Stews and deck hands were great - I’ll miss my dudes, Niksha and Damir. They were on point with the service and always made sure we had what we need. The Tempera boat was great. I consider myself lucky to get a chance to “live” on the beautiful boat for a week. I spent so much time on the top deck and the salon was a great place to grab a drink and take a break from the sun. 10/10 would do this all over again!

- Daniel, 04/06/2026 11:14, Travelled in a Couple

Best vacation ever!

What a lovely vacation! This might have been one of my favorite trips ever. The Dalmatian islands are absolutely breathtaking and I would do this exact same cruise again. The ship was nice, comfortable and clean. Ceili, our tour manager, was fun, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. Our waiters, Nikša and Dimir, were attentive, friendly and funny. Even Peter, one of the sailors was nice enough to give us some recommendations for Dubrovnik on the last day. I highly recommend Sail Croatia and I hope to be on one of their ships again soon.

Easiest Way to Travel!

This trip is without a doubt the most relaxing Europe trip we’ve been on. The way Sail Croatia had this trip planned you really don’t worry about anything; food, activities and transportation. Just how much sun time you want to get. Marin, our guide on board, made every decision feel easy! The transparency and care was so evident in the way he did his job. He was always so helpful and fun to talk with. The crew on board Nieksha and Dom were energetic and made us feel well taken care of. My husband and I made so many friends on board, saying goodbye at the end of the week was difficult. It felt similar to when you leave summer camp as a kid. We hope to cross paths again with everyone some day. I would 100% recommend this experience to my friends and family. Oh and do the zip lining if you get the chance! It was breathtaking!

First voyage on the Contessa!

We recently finished a Sail Croatia cruise aboard the Contessa, and overall it was a fantastic experience. The weather took a little while to come good, but once it did, the trip really turned into something special with beautiful stops, great swimming spots, and an awesome atmosphere onboard. The Contessa is a newer ship, and while there were definitely a few early “gremlins” to work through, the crew handled everything professionally and always did their best to make sure guests were looked after and having a good time. You could tell the team genuinely cared about creating a great experience. A special mention has to go to Tino the sailor, who was an absolute standout throughout the trip. Friendly, very hardworking, and he really helped make the cruise memorable (including getting the hot tub going!) Big credit as well to Cal for keeping the vibe fun and social the entire week. Overall, despite a few small hiccups that come with a new vessel, we had an amazing time!!

We ended up making friends with everyone on the cruise, and by the end we were all so close that we were genuinely sad to leave. It was an unforgettable experience and we would highly recommend it!

After doing much research my husband and I chose Sail Croatia and the lovely vessel Contessa. The boat is beautiful and cabins are very well appointed and comfortable. The crew was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough about them. They are kind and beautiful people. Calum, Tino, Petra, Charlie, Nenad, Bane, Marko, Joy, Zeljana, and Captain Slavko were wonderful. Whatever excursion you were interested in, Calum would plan for you. He was always there to help you. He took us to fun and interesting wineries! This was definitely a trip I would recommend.

Awesome cruise

Our first cruise with Sail Croatia and in Croatia. Our boat, Salve Di Mare, was really impressive, comfortable, well maintained and our below deck cabin was larger than we expected. Our fellow guests were a fantastic bunch and everyone had a great time. The crew were a highlight of the cruise, especially Marco and Vlaho, our bar staff/waiters, who made sure everyone was looked after. The food was delicious and we were sad to leave the ship. Our tour guide, Nikos, was the best and ensured everyone had a great trip. I would definitely recommend this cruise and would happily book another cruise with this company.

Cash and Passport

I had a fantastic time on my Sail Croatia cruise—the route, crew, and food were all great. That said, I was surprised by the 40€ tourist tax per person, which wasn’t clearly explained upfront and for which I received no receipt. I also wasn’t comfortable with how our passports were left in an unlocked plastic box in the dining salon at night, with no visible security. Tipping felt a bit awkward too, especially when envelopes were later collected over WhatsApp after limited communication. Overall, I’d still recommend Sail Croatia, but these small improvements would make the experience even better.

Dream come true!

Absolutely fantastic! The fellow passengers and crew made this trip! The food was fantastic and the swim stops were my favorite thing to do onboard. Croatia is beautiful and the itinerary was wonderful!

Great trip

Awesome. Calum the rep on the Tempera was very good. We had a good mix of passengers and the crew were very responsive. For the price we paid I couldnt ask for more.

Amazing Week

Our week on the Almissa Explorer Cruise was amazing! From the crew, meals, swim spots and guests onboard, everything was perfect! The cabins were well equipped and very cute - we had an above deck one. Excursions were well planned and a lot of fun!

- Sue, 18/05/2026 17:05, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing experience

We loved our week aboard the Tempera! The islands, our activities and our host Callum were fantastic! We’d highly recommend the Explorer experience to enjoy the Croatian islands.

Best Honeymoon

We took the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise from Dubrovnik to Split and we had the Time of our Lives. Our entire crew was amazing from Vicko our Representative who was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. Every morning he provided us with the details of all the local spots to visit and directions on how we could get there. As well as providing amazing stories and history about the area, Our Bartenders Damir & Niksa were so friendly and attentive if we ever needed anything they were there to provide & provide a good time. Our Chefs Vlado & Daki we so amazing at preparing Gluten Free meals for my wife to fit her dietary needs and never made her feel like she was missing out on a meal. Even though we had an itinerary change due to weather our sailors and captain made us feel safe and kept us informed of the changes as soon as possible. The entire crew was so amazing and the excursions prepared even with a change were so engaging and amazing. We would do this every year!

Great Croatian Experience

We were made to feel like special guests the entire time. Marin the tour director, Marco and Vlaho who looked after food and bar service were all exceptional and we enjoyed their company and service. The crew members and Captain were all excellent. They looked after all the other details to make sure our time was special.

- Alisa, 11/05/2026 19:52, Travelled in a Couple

Beyond Expectations

Returned from an Explorer cruise with Sail Croatia, on the Salve Di Mare which is a stunning, luxurious and incredibly comfortable vessel. The layout is exceptional with spacious cabins, sun decks, and jacuzzi. The ship is kept in immaculate condition from the cabins, swim platforms, dining salons, to the sun decks. The service from all staff is professional, friendly, and world class (special thanks to Marko, Vlaho). The onboard chefs, every meal a daily highlight. Our tour manager Marin, was an incredible host, all week going above and beyond for our group. His local knowledge made every excursion experience wonderful. Huge thank you to the entire crew, for their exceptional hospitality, we will definitely be back!

- Stacee, 11/05/2026 14:05, Travelled in a Couple

Fun times!

It was a great week! We traveled with two other couples. Boat was clean, our tour manager was amazing and the crew was pleasant and personable. The food was great some days and other just mediocre but you can’t please everyone right? The islands are beautiful and Vicko made sure we all knew what was coming ahead with activities and sites to see. The communication was on point with a group chat. All questions were answered. We would definitely do this again!

- Jana, 08/05/2026 15:16, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent adventure

Our tour guide (Dino) was excellent, and I would highly recommend Sail Croatia to our friends. It was a great vacation, and I hope to come back.

A week on Tempera

We travelled from Split to Dubrovnik on their first cruise for the season ( 25 April) — boat was well equiped , cabin was very comfortable — ensuite bathroom great — meals weee ALL excellent and bar was well stocked and run ! Viscko our “ leader” for the week was well organised , very informative and knowledgeable , and was enthusiastic all week !! The crew were a great bunch , always there to help or just talk ! Swims off the back of the boat were BRACING but bloody good fun ! Loved our stops at all the islands — good variety of stops — always docked very close to cafes or the centres at each venue. We would travel with these guys on this boat again in a heartbeat !!

- Keith, 05/05/2026 10:33, Travelled in a Couple

Explorer cruise Almissa

We loved our cruise on the Almissa, we sailed from Dubrovnik to Split. We had a wonderful week, the crew the food & locations were amazing. We were so lucky to have Dino as our tour guide, he made our trip the best, he gave as so much information on where to eat, what to see, great swim stops, when the weather wasn’t great he organised alternatives which we much appreciated. We had the time of our lives, we loved Croatia!!

- Katrina, 29/10/2025 04:41, Travelled in a Couple

Great time

Had a great time, low passenger (21) to staff ratio really helped. Couple of things though - Last cruise of the season meant we had to ask for things like spa being heated, etc - there wasn't a lot of initiative from crew in general, Also food and alcohol was running out so they weren't going to replace certain things. While we got a very SLIGHT reduction in price from peak time it did mean that we still felt as though we had to ask for things. Swim stops were awesome, but many people wanted to do more snorkelling options - It would have been easy to pull in a little closer to shore (100 metres) so we could see the bottom rather than swim there (I swam 250m there and back on one just to see the bottom). These are all minor details - the room was great, the tour manager Dino was AMAZING and dealt so well with a lot of different personalities. He responded immediately to all queries and was very patient with some of the more demanding passengers. We met great people.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

- jeremy, 20/10/2025 13:06, Travelled in a Couple

Split Return Oct'25

We did the Explorer trip early October '25, so the towns visited were not as busy as peak season, which was great. Interactions with Sail Croatia ahead of the trip were clear, concise and quick (I would recommend sending guests a pdf or e-mail itinerary ahead of departure). The cabins were sufficient for a week's travel, the included lunch and breakfast perfect and crew and tour manager Nikos all very helpful. Additional excursions were suggested and organised where required. The only disappointment was that we couldn't do a swim stop during any of the days due to the windy weather. One could swim at the towns, though. Just to note, Croatia along the coast has become expensive for anyone that might be travelling on a budget, but all in all the trip was well worth it. The towns and natural surrounds exceeded all expectations and experiencing it on a small cruise boat (36 guests) is highly recommended.

- Cisco, 14/10/2025 19:04, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing

Dino was outstanding and always went above and beyond. Crew was amazing. Food was spectacular. Would do it again in a heartbeat

- Velile, 13/10/2025 02:52, Travelled in a Couple

Superb

Perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, your choice! With breakfast and lunch (3 course) included every day and a swim stop in between (my fave part) the afternoon and evening were yours to explore the next town/island. You could choose one of the organised excursions or do your own thing. Nothing was too much trouble, the crew were the best and our tour manager Klara was the bomb!! Thank you Salve di Mare! We miss you already

- Leica, 08/10/2025 07:07, Travelled in a Couple

Cruising in Croatia

After extensive research by both my husband and myself, we joined the Sail Croatia, Salve de Mare cruise this past September. Looking for a smaller cruising footprint with excursions was our goal and Sail Croatia did not disappoint. From the date of our embarking to our final day with our new international friends and a wonderful crew, our adventure was just that... a true adventure! We would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to our friends, co-workers and family members! Adventure awaits with Sail Croatia!

- Kristen, 07/10/2025 16:47, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful Vacation

This cruise checked all the boxes! From the moment we stepped on to the boat until the moment we stepped off, we did not have one complaint. The itinerary was perfect, food was delicious, a good balance of down time and touring, swim stops were fun, and the most wonderful crew! And Anita was the perfect tour director!

- Anonymous, 06/10/2025 18:07, Travelled in a Couple

Incredible Experience

This cruise was better than we even anticipated. The crew was great, very responsive, personable, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious; every meal was expertly prepared and what you’d expect from a 5-Star restaurant. Weather required that we pivot from the original schedule but the captain and the guide made sure we had good alternatives for swimming and exploring. Highly recommend this trip.

Staff, locations and other passengers.

- Mark, 01/10/2025 18:16, Travelled in a Couple

Disappointed with food quality and outdoor deck furniture availability

Improve breakfast offerings, variety and presentation. Offer better quality coffee and tea options. Communication with passengers and kitchen waiting staff. Improve lunch offerings, more vegetables, and meat quality and variety. Serve tables with waiters offering drinks. Have coffee and tea making available during day with biscuits etc The discussion of itinerary to be held prior to lunch service. No smoking on ship for passengers and crew. Provide equal number of deck chairs to passengers. We had 10 deck chairs for 36 passengers and I witnessed a passenger confrontation Set outdoor furniture up for passenger comfort prior to breakfast service

Salve di Mare - Dubrovnik to Split Cruise

The trip was wonderful! Klara was incredibly knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and super helpful to give recommendations. The crew were well equipped in making sure all passengers had a safe and enjoyable cruise from port to port. The chefs made delicious meals for us each day and the bartenders were a delight, always willing to serve with a smile, despite their long hours and early mornings! My husband and i would highly recommend this trip to others.

- Brittini, 29/09/2025 10:00, Travelled in a Couple

Not to be missed

We chose Sail Crotia for the small size of the ship and passenger count. I have always been attracted to Croatia and this was the perfect opportunity to get an intimate look. The ship, the Salve d’ Mar was lovely. Well kept, modern and spacious. Our staff was friendly accommodating and fun. The tour director Klara was i i formative and fun. Although we preferred a top deck cabin our lower deck was perfect. Comfortable bed, nice size bath and hot showers. We would highly recommend the Sail Crotia line and this ship specifically

- Paula, 29/09/2025 07:39, Travelled in a Couple

Totally Impressed

We set up this trip with 7 couples and we didn't really know what to expect. We read all the information but we really didn't know that is was going to be a lot better than advertised. Everything about the boat and the staff was just what we had hoped. The travel, the food, the guide all made the trip a ten for us. We actually loved this trip better than when we went to Greece. The only way to travel Croatia is by boat.

We can't say enough good things!

We had the absolute BEST time aboard the Salve di Mare sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. The route and timing of the voyage provided a steady crescendo with a stunning finale. Each island better than the last. Our tour manager Klara was very engaged, helpful, informative, personable, and frankly quite funny. We loved her. We also became very fond of our fellow travelers. The accommodations left us wanting for nothing, the meals exquisite, and the scenery and excursions just lovely and memorable. One of our best trips.

- Melody, 25/09/2025 05:33, Travelled in a Couple

You won't be sorry

For a completely different experience in visiting the Islands off the Croatian coast, there is no better way to do it than on a luxury yacht. No moving your luggage; 2 gourmet meals a day; expert tour guide with you all the time with daily briefings; daily awesome swims off the boat away from shore in the crystal clear Adriatic; full bartending; daily housekeeping; engaging crew. Meet 38 travelers from around the world & bond. Why do it any other way? I can't wait to do it again next year in a different country. Very well run organization "Sail Croatia". Just pick the one grouping of the 3 types of ships that matches your age group & desires & you're off to a memorable vacation.

Fantastic cruise with amazing staff

Ship was lovely. All staff were amazing. Karla looked after us with nothing being too much trouble and with a fantastic sense of humour and friendliness. The island visits and swim stops were beautiful. The additional activities were not so good.

- Christine, 22/09/2025 18:47, Travelled in a Couple

Everything I had hoped for

From the minute we were told on the app where to board our boat we were looked after. Food was excellent throughout the week and the crew endeavour to make our holiday fun and special. They all work very hard but in a very discreet way. Our cabin which was spacious was cleaned daily. The captain Frane very professional, Klara our host was amazing and kept us up to date with the events and movement of the boat and excursions. The deck hands and bar staff were all so friendly and the other guests we had such a lovely relaxing holiday but also managed to see so many beautiful destinations with this kind of holiday. I loved the variety and we have made many long distance friends as a result. Would highly recommend sail Croatia.

4 BIG Thumbs up from Canadians on board the Salve Di Mare

We can not speak highly enough of our time on Salve De Mare! We met and created friendships and memories and were treated so well by the Captain and Staff! Captain Franne found us the most beautiful swim spots! Our Rep Klara was funny, kind, knowledgeable and always on to help us, answer ANY question or request. Our servers/barmen Vlaho & Marco were awesome. Friendly, chatty, and efficient!! They are really good at their jobs! Chefs food was delicious!!! Lots of variety and creativity with the dishes- we were never disappointed! A huge shout out to Monika who mostly stayed in the shadows of the halls and cleaning up after all of us! And to the deckhands, your jobs are appreciated! Overall this is a trip we will never forget and thanks the crew of the Salve De Mare for making it happen’

- Simone, 15/09/2025 13:01, Travelled in a Couple

Disappointing

First of all, let me say that the people involved (crew, etc.) were excellent. I have no problem with any of them. Our cruise director was especially friendly and personable. Plus, I found Croatia to be a most beautiful country. That said, it was not one of my favorite trips. I found most places we stopped to be glorified "tourist traps." Most things were far too expensive, and we were constantly confronted with cost after cost for anything we might want to do. I think that should I ever return to Croatia, I'd probably pick one or two places and spend more time exploring more than just tourist trap stuff. I guess that could be said, however, for many such cruises, etc. Have traveled to several countries, however, this will not be considered one of my favorites.

- Kenneth, 15/09/2025 10:23, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing Sail and Crew!

We had an amazing time on our sail Croatia yoga cruise. The entire crew was amazing, kind and friendly. Very hardworking and deserve more down time off between charters. The boat was wonderful and rooms clean and good size vs expectations. The chef was awesome and made delicious meals every day. Breakfast was basic with some meats cheeses, fruit, toast, eggs. My suggestion would be a blender for smoothie and microwave to reheat cold food. Lunch was delicious but having an idea of what it is before hand would be helpful for those selective eaters so they can have more breakfast or select the vegetarian option if they want. The yoga was great and excursions were fun and easy to sign up with each day. Posting the options on the whiteboard in the saloon, daily meals and schedule etc would be very helpful to prevent so many msgs on what’s up. I found the group chat nice but too many msgs and questions of things we were already told. Overall, we loved it and would do it again! Thanks

- Steve, 15/09/2025 09:44, Travelled in a Couple

Value for money, excellent cruise staff and a great bunch of people on the cruise. The food was excellent. Cabins quiet, clean and comfortable. Vik our tour manager was THE BEST he provided us with so many options and opportunities. When the weather was not so great he worked really hard to find other activities to do. The captain changed our destination so we didn’t experience too many rough conditions. Honestly all the staff worked extremely to give us the most fantastic time. We are sad it is over.

- Emma, 15/09/2025 04:10, Travelled in a Couple

Great Experience would highly recommend Sail Croatia !

Having celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with Sail Croatia was truly one of the most memorable and magical experiences of our life . From the moment we stepped on board, we were welcomed with warm hospitality , impeccable service and stunning views. The representative Dino along with the Captain Josip and the entire crew ( waiters/chef and sailors ) went above and beyond to make this experience even more pleasurable,. It was a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. We returned home with unforgettable memories and a deep gratitude for the journey we shared both on sea and in life.

Explorer cruise Split to Dubrovnik on Tempera

Had a really fab week aboard the Tempera. Was the perfect mix of downtime, swim stops, activities and socialising. Changeable weather meant we missed Vis and spent an extra night on Hvar at Jelsa, which turned out to be one of my favourite places. The food was excellent and plentiful - I've never eaten so much! Our cabin was excellent too - 'the penthouse' on the second deck, possibly because I booked a year in advance. Loved watching the sunrise out the window. Couldn't get the TV tuned so bring a fire stick or something if you want to use that. Staff were all great, especially Tomas who kept an eye on us at swim stops - always smiling. There was a couple of big groups on our boat which made me nervous we'd be excluded but we made friends no problem and had a blast.

Customer focus

The trip destinations and food was great. The attitude of some staff including the cruise director was pretty poor. The captain of the boat and chef were excellent but other staff were openly stating they were over the season and complaining or arguing with the customers. The cruise director twice had harsh words with us through no fault of our own which is unacceptable.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the destinations and food, and we appreciate your kind words about the captain and chef. However, we regret to hear about your experience with some of our staff and the tour representative. This is not the level of service we strive to provide. For this week, guest ratings were generally high, with most scoring 4 and 5 stars for the crew, so I’m sorry to hear your experience was not the same. We expect all our customers to have the same experience throughout the season and your comments have been passed on to our management team, and we’ll address this with the crew to ensure improvements are made. Thank you.

Relaxing and fun cruise in stunning Croatia

Sail Croatia, Dubrovnik to Spit on Salve di Mare with Vicko as our tour manager was a highlight of our European holiday. We chose an Explorer itinerary hoping for likeminded people on the cruise and could not have asked for a better group of people and crew to explore Croatian islands with. We chose excursions that interested us, and sometimes decided to relax and explore on our own. The morning swim stops were spectacular!. We had a lower deck room and were surprised by its generous size. The crew on Salve di Mare were wonderful, and nothing was ever too much for Vicko, who explained the history and attractions of where we were next visiting, and he was happy to make suggestions and reservations for us. We highly recommend this cruise and hope to return to beautiful Croatia!

- Sheree, 07/09/2025 09:55, Travelled in a Couple

Did a western med cruise with my Mrs on the MSC Splendida. We were treated like royalty from the minute we got on, till we got off.

Amazing!

We had the best week onboard the Almissa. The crew were amazing, always eager to help. Tour Manager Dino was full of local knowledge and it was so helpful when he shared tips and suggestions of where to eat and what to do at each port. The captain adjusted the schedule slightly to ensure we had the best experience on each island, this included swapping ports around so we could visit the Blue Cave in Vis, which was definitely a highlight of our trip. Thank you to all the crew for making this a truly memorable trip.

Explorer Cruise Dubrovnik to Split.

The overall organization of the trip was top not notch from the time we met our boat in Dubrovnik and ended the trip in Split. Day to day activities coupled with Island hopping was the best. The actual trip was much more than what was described in the literature from Sail Croatia.

- Phillip, 01/09/2025 20:51, Travelled in a Couple

Almissa was truly the best boat ever !!! We had the most unforgettable week around Croatia. Dino was very informative and accomodating helping us book restaurants and ensuring we had the best experience on sail! I can’t recommend this boat enough!!

10 out of 10 week

We were onboard Almissa for our split to Dubrovnik cruise and we couldn’t fault it. Dino our tour manager made everything so easy and adjusted the itinerary to suit the weather and make sure we were able to see all the sights. The waiters, sailors, captain and chefs also did an unreal job at tending to all our needs. 3 course lunches and buffet breakfasts were perfect. Would definitely do this trip again without hesitation.

One of the best trips I've been on!

We had the most incredible week sailing with Sail Croatia on the Salve di Mare! The whole experience felt so luxurious, the cabins were much bigger than expected, the food was absolutely outstanding, and there was always plenty of space to relax and sunbathe on board. Each day was perfectly planned with swim stops in beautiful spots, a great selection of excursions, and the most welcoming crew who made everything seamless. A special highlight was our expert tour guide Vicko, who was not only friendly and helpful but also gave fantastic morning briefings that brought each destination to life and helped us make the most of our time there! In just 7 days we managed to pack in so many incredible experiences that it honestly felt like a much longer holiday. Sail Croatia exceeded all of our expectations – I couldn’t recommend it more!

One of the best experiences of my life!

I am so grateful for the incredible experience. We sailed for 7 nights from Dubrovnik to Split and loved it! We were surrounded by a wonderful group of like minded people and made friends for life. Lola and Max honestly were the best and provided a wonderful atmosphere and experience. The experience could only be slightly improved by a few tiny things, better coffee on board, the smell around the front lower cabins and swim stops being a little later and longer. But this did not take away from the incredible time we had and we will recommend this to everyone we know! Thank you Sail Croatia!

Amazing experience!

The whole trip and itinerary was great! Loved exploring all the towns and the swim stops in between! Cant recommend this experience enough! Special mention to Max, who was really the highligh of our trip! Always checked in with us and made sure we were having a great time! He is the gem of the Tempera! Food was good and we loved our experience!

Unbelievable

We had the pleasure of sailing with the Tempera crew and with Lola! Safe to say we had the best week ever!! The crew were just amazing, nothing was too much especially for our endless drinks with Max and Milan! We had such an amazing group of people on the boat, ones we will stay close with for a long time. Thanks again, we hope to do it another time ❤️

Fun & Relaxing Time

We really enjoyed the size of the boat, the crew who was very helpful but gave plenty of space to the guests. The food was good as well. We enjoyed the relaxed nature of the boat and we could come and go as we wanted to in the ports. The recommendations from the crew was very helpful. Thanks again.

Nothing Like a Cruise Ship: Good and Different

Having cruised 8+ times in different parts of the world in groups of 4 to 8 friends or family we were a little nervous of a boat with 26 other people my wife and I would have to mingle with, regardless of whether we lijed them or not. We were also concerned with a bar tab that was not payable by card or pre-paid with a drinks package prior. However, we wanted a more intimate and overnight relationship with the towns and restaurants that a cruise boat cannot provide. Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. With ~28 others + crew of 6 & an onboard tour operator/guide we all bonded very quickly. Kristina & I are 60. There was a couple who were 62. Everyone else was 30's, 40's & 50's. Yes, the 30's partied hard but were respectful & were on well earned breaks from their jobs/businesses. Onboard meals were excellent. Guide had wide range of suggestions from high to low $$ for dinners & excursions. Cabins comfortable but not at same standard as a cruise boat. Overall you should not hesitate.

Such a great experience!!

Everything was so easy! From booking to getting on the boat to all the activities. Our rep Vik was amazing and so knowledgeable. Made all our excursions a breeze and kept us informed of any changes and our next day activities. Our crew was phenomenal and made sure we were well fed, drinks flowing and safe and having the best time. All such lovely, hard working people. Met some amazing new friends on board. If your thinking about it, just book it. You will not be dissapointed.

Trip of a lifetime!

5 STAR - from the chefs, bar staff (Maxie!!) The deckhands, the captain & our wonderful coordinator BIG VIC! how do we even start to thank you for our 2 weeks on board the Tempera! Yes 2 weeks - we enjoyed the ole girl from Split to Dubrovnik and back to Split. Being on an intimate boat we got to enjoy the staff & guests alike. The incredible port locations - the excursions offered and if weather was an issue we were told immediately but was filled with something else that was fun or a port just as good! The swim stops - this was a highlight of every day! How do you even describe where we would be placed! Was just the best!! Again the fun with the guests was just magic..The food! these two boys would perform meal after meal from that galley - the breakfast - our highlight as it would bring us all together to start the day! - portions were really good & having our breakfast hot & all the chatter in the saloon was a perfect to bond with other guests! WE LOVED IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH X

Split to Dubrovnik

Everything about this trip was amazing, Our room on the boat was excellent and the food and wine were wonderful. It was the perfect mix of relaxing swim stops in crystal clear water to really fun excursions. The buggy ride in Korcula was a highlight and the wine tasting was also great. Our tour guide Dino knew the areas we visited really well and was always helping us with information on things to see and do and restaurants to try. Dino and all the crew went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. We cannot recommend this trip highly enough.

Queen Jelena

Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. Crew were helpful and friendly. Captain was skilled. Cabins and in fact the whole ship was clean and beautifully maintained. Dino, our guide, was amazing with his knowledge, humor and communication with the guests. The cruise destinations were very interesting and scenic. All in all I was impressed with the experience.

Our Sail Croatia trip was absolutely stunning. From Split to Dubrovnik, to heaven and back. We had 7 amazing days of fun, making new friends, unbelievable crew, great day trips, stunning swim stops and although I came into the trip with high expectations they were exceeded - and some!!! From Barbara our wonderful host to Cezar (The King) and Kiki our waiters and party starters, Josip the Captain, our sailors Ivan and Marko and our amazing chefs Marko and Bobi - the Croatia Sail / Almissa team was unbelievable.
