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

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

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

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

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

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

We had a wonderful time on our vacation to Croatia with Sail Croatia. Andro and Mario were fantastic guides!!! All of the crew members were outstanding!! The bike rides were challenging and beautiful and the food onboard was so delicious!

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

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!
- Alma, 25/08/2026 12:47, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I traveled to Croatia ,to see the country of my maternal grandparents. It was an incredible experience! The people of Croatia are helpful and welcoming. Many people speak excellent English which helps when asking for directions. The cities we visited were easily accessible along the Croatian coastline. There were some places that were challenging to access, due to stairs. We were able to climb at our own pace. The small ship, Olimp, was lovely, clean and comfortable. I appreciated the fact that if I was tired, or the weather was too hot, I could return to the ship and relax . After breakfast, we swam in a small cove everyday. What made the trip even more enjoyable, was meeting fellow passengers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. I absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience Croatia.
- Rita, 25/08/2026 12:41, Travelled with Family
It was a lovely week. We enjoyed very much going to all the islands as they all have their own special charm. We found the food on the boat to be good but the lunch portions were way too big. We would have appreciated an explanation of the food as we had to keep asking what we were eating….The desserts everyday were the best part! Swim stops were the highlight! The Taste of Croatia tour itself needs lots of work. Olive oil tasting was in a cramped store(we were picturing a trip to an olive grove), oysters and Wine tasting was a miss as well.. There are wineries and oyster farms and Instead we went to a tourist restaurant where we got poured 3 wines and had a plate of oysters. We found a winery on our own on the island of Hvar which was amazing and would have been a welcome addition to this cruise. Foodies who book this expect more and so if we recommended this trip we would say skip the Taste of and just do the explorer or elegance cruises.

Everything was amazing, staff, swim stops, food and excursions, cabins, islands. I would do this again in a heart beat they made us feel very spoilt and well looked after we had a great group of people and made new life long friends.
- Marion, 25/08/2026 06:46, Travelled with Family
We had an amazing trip with our skipper Matea whose knowledge of these beautiful islands and spots to drop anchor and swim was very useful. Every stop offered something more than the last and my aim was to anchor in quiet bays more than ports. However every port was so nice and offered so much history, culture, food and ice cream, we went to more ports than anchorage’s. We all enjoyed it thoroughly and aim to be back in the very near future.

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

This was the first cruise we have done and turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was great. I was very fortunate to join with a fantastic group of people (28 in total) and we had the best time. The breakfast every morning was fresh. The 3 course lunch was always a treat and the Captains dinner was wonderful. The crew were all amazing. Cabins were larger than I was expecting and kept clean. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
- Judy, 25/08/2026 05:54, Travelled in a Couple
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

This was the perfect get away for us. Wide range of ages, lots of choices for excursions, great food. Not luxury but great fun!

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

Fabulous holiday that provided you lots of adventure without you having to plan anything. Amazing crew and top notch food daily. By the end of the week you’ll have met many new acquaintances. Lots of daily fun facts about each island you visit. My favourite was the daily water stops where you were able to get off boat and swim in the crystal clear sea. What better way to explore beautiful Croatia than Sail Almissa!
- Marylyn, 24/08/2026 11:06, Travelled with Family
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
- Phil, 24/08/2026 08:48, Travelled in a Couple
Bike & Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations as our guides Andro & Mario were professional, caring, knowledgeable and so fun! The crew was top notch with young Sonia & Danillo keeping us all hydrated We lucked out with a very cohesive group of bikers who we now consider friends like family. Can’t wait to book another beautiful Sail Croatia again!
- Cathrin, 24/08/2026 08:46, Travelled with Family
It was over and above all our expectations . . . a truly unique experience where we met a lot of lovely people from all over the world. The staff were amazing too. Vicko was so informative delivering just the right amount of information about all our stops and with great humour. The staff anticipated what we needed at any particular time. Food provided was of an exemplary standard. Swim stops and excursion destinations were all fabulous even though we had been in Croatia several times before the country and its islands keep on giving us new delights. It is a true gem of a place. We couldn't have wished for more.
- Magdalene, 24/08/2026 08:11, Travelled with Family
Our holiday was truly amazing. We decided to travel on the Salve di Mare boat. It was absolutely beautiful. The boat and cabins were extremely clean and well kept. The crew was amazing. Our captain and crew were top notch! They were extremely helpful and made sure all of our needs were met at all times. We were treated extremely well. The holiday is certainly one we will remember forever and we will for sure travel with the Salve di mare again. Aldo, our Sail Croatia tour director, Hana, was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She made sure we had everything we needed to experience Croatia and she went above and beyond!

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.

- Lauren, 21/08/2026 18:20, Travelled in a Couple
We thought everything was pretty much spot on. The Ship and staff were excellent. Our only negative was the timing of breakfast and lunch, along with the swim stops. We understand you have to adapt the schedule each day to cooincide with when you have to be at the next Port. But for the most part in chatting with our shipmates, we felt like....hurry and get up for breakfast, hurry and eat, go for a swim....but we just ate....hurry for lunch....then we typically need time to digest. We have 3 or 4 hours between breakfast and lunch......then 6 to 8 hours between lunch and dinner. It just felt like the meals on board could be stretched out longer and not rushed. The Bar, when ordering a drink, please serve the alcohol that is listed on the menu. Those are our only negatives, otherwise we totally loved the small ship cruising experience. Special thank yous to Yolana in the Salon, and Joy the housekeeper. We found out late that she is a massage therapist..too bad that service was N/A

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

Our holiday was Exceptional. My husband and I were celebrating our retirement and we were also celebrating the engagements of our two daughters and their fiances. From my initial booking to this review my/our experience has been exptremely professional, well organized with excellent communication and assistance with any questions we had. Our crew, including our Skipper, Mislav and our Hostess Mirna were absolutely incredible. Mislav's knowledge of our yaght, the islands visited and Croatian history was extremely appreciated. Mirna's wonderful dishes served for breakfast, lunch and snacks were SO dilicious and appreciated by all. She is truly an amazing cook and her knowledge also, of the islands was welcomed. Mislav and Mirna were a great team. They worked so well together and were beautiful human beings inside and out. We wanted to take them home with us. Our time spent on Alley Cat was a wonderful experience for our family of 6 - if we can, we will be back! Thank You

I had a wonderful time on this trip! The crew was great and the food was delicious. Every spot we went to was beautiful. It would have been nice to explore the towns in the morning and then do a swim stop after lunch when it was extremely hot. I also wish there was more excursions like jet skis or fishing. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

This was our first small ship cruise, accompanied by another couple (friends) who have been on lots of larger cruises, four of us did not know what to expect. On arrival, our tour guide Lola was very professional & welcoming which continued throughout the entire cruise! The boat (Romantic Star) was beautiful, clean & well maintained with all creature comforts. Our Captain and all crew were very pleasant and accommodating. Scenery of course was amazing!! Was lovely to be able to come and go from the boat when docked without being on time restraints, allowing us to explore each port at our own leisure or, take part in one of the many excursions both included and paid. For thrill seekers looking to go offroad on ATV tour we don't recommend as all roads are sealed and we felt price was a little expensive for what the tour included. Overall, we highly recommend anyone to Sail Croatia with Sail Croatia as we will again in the future!

We had a great sailing trip around the Islands, which was our second trip with Sail Croatia. Kristian, our skipper, was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. He reached out in advance so we had a rough plan and talked us through each option every day. We went to some beautiful ports and restaurants/swim stops along the way. Agata our hostess prepared the most amazing food during our trip. Nothing was too much to ask and she was really good responding to our 2 families needs ( including 4 children aged 11 to 13) Blackbird was a perfect boat for our two families. The booking team before our trip were incredibly responsive - so nice to interact with a real person. The team in the ACI marina were also excellent. Our whole experience was unforgettable and made memories our children will never forget. Until next time...

Our Sail Croatia trip aboard the *Princeza Diana* exceeded every expectation. The guides were knowledgeable and funny, the crew was warm and attentive, and the meals were delicious and incredibly generous. Each stop along the Dalmatian Coast was more beautiful than the last, yet even in high season, the destinations never felt overly crowded. The e-bikes were essentially brand new, and the Sail Croatia team made time ashore effortless with excellent restaurant recommendations and reservation help. We also had a great group of fellow passengers and especially enjoyed the live band evenings in Hvar and Korčula, which we lucked upon - but it might be that way every night! This was our second visit to the Dalmatian Coast—and we know it will not be our last. When we have the chance to travel with Sail Croatia again, there is really only one answer: **“Idemo!”** (Croatian for “Let’s go!”)

We had the best experience n memories from this cruise ! It’s the first time we have ever done a small cruise like this ! It’s the prefect way to learn more about Croatia ! We loved the fact that we docked in a new town/ island every night where we can discover or do an activity during the day and find a place for dinner ! breakfasts are provided And a 3 course lunch ! The meals were all very nicely Presented and always hot ! In this cruise we also had a very fun captains dinner and a village dinner ! We loved the lamb pekka - still dreaming of how tasty it was ! Our cabin was very comfortable as we were very lucky to get the one in front and we had ample room and very comfortable! 1 thing that can be improved is to put an electrical fan in the cabin as the air con was not strong enough ! kudos must be given to the cleanliness of the Katarina boat ! crew is constantly cleaning and I have not seen a cleaner boat .. and finally the crew ! Thank you to captain Ivan, Goran, Ivana n Nikos
