We loved our weeklong cruise from SPLIT to DUBROVNIK on ESPERANZA. Everything about it was simply wonderful. The staff and crew were amazing, the chef and food delicious, the swim locations and ports were wonderful. Two suggestions: get better and stronger coffee without asking for extra payments—everyone on board was very unhappy with the quality. Also….hooks in the bedroom sections of the cabins for a quick hang up of clothes rather than the wardrobe. Bathrooms had hooks but the main section of the cabins could use them as well. .

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!

- Carole, 25/08/2026 19:07, Travelled with Family

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

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

I booked the trip because Croatia was on my bucket list and they were waiving the single supplement on a few sailings. We were a small group which made it a more intimate experience. My cabin was spacious and very comfortable. Our cruise director Lola was a dream. Very organized, kind and patient. The crew performed their jobs invisibly. The ports were all interesting but my favorite was the daily swim stops. Jump into the Adriatic sea and swim for an hour! The cruise was incredibly relaxing! The chef did a stellar job feeding us a healthy Mediterranean diet with decadent desserts.Can't recommend this trip enough!

- Heather, 25/08/2026 10:24, Travelled Solo

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

A fabulous experience travelling through the islands off the coast of Croatia. Very relaxing, great group of people, food was great and our Cruise guide Lola was fabulous keeping us informed always. Visited some beautiful islands, great old towns and national parks. Really enjoyed.

- Jenny, 13/08/2026 07:40, Travelled Solo

Had a wonderful time on the Romatic Star. It was my first time traveling alone. I felt safe at all times and the staff was always there if you needed any assistance. I will definitely be back to see the rest of Croatia.

Our trip on board the Katarina was much more than we had imagined! The boat was so comfortable with lots of space to spread out or cozy when you wanted to be with others. The staff were so friendly and helpful and always smiling despite the many hours they were putting in. Our guide “V”. Was so sweet and funny and very knowledgeable! He briefed us on all the islands! “I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOU”” lol

- Denise, 28/07/2026 22:26, Travelled with Family

Every aspect of this holiday is great - the crew, the itinerary, the food , the relaxation around the secluded swim areas and the differing coastline destination culture & vibe. We were incredibly fortunate to have a great bunch of fellow travellers . Best of all was Dino our lead as he was fantastic in going above and beyond to make special arrangements for my husband who has a lung condition so that he did not miss out on any adventure. Overall a highly recommended week of relaxation where everything is done for you and your brain can just switch off .

- Anonymous, 28/07/2026 19:24, Travelled with Family

It beat expectations and Dino was a great host. He helped make excursions easier for a family member whose health started to decline, which was much appreciated. The cruise was awesome and he made it unforgettable. Thanks Dino! We miss you. The crew were friendly and I felt at home on the boat.

We absolutely LOVED our time with Sail Croatia. The communication, itinerary and service provided was incredible. Our cruise director, Dino, was very helpful, knowledgable and fun. We would highly recommend!

- Cecilia, 27/07/2026 17:30, Travelled with Family

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Queen Jelena! Everything was top notch and everyone talked about how it was one of the best vacations that we have ever taken. Our cruise director Dino went out of his way to make sure every guest was taken care of and he really ensured everything was great! I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole crew. My favorite part was the swim stops, such a pleasure to swim right from the boat in beautiful locations.

- Eric, 25/07/2026 10:37, Travelled with Family

The ship accommodations were just right for us with a relatively spacious room and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. We loved the smaller ship stops and the planned excursions available to us that were small adventures along the way. Our host and crew were exceptionally nice and helpful in meeting our needs. The only thing missing would be access to the TV aboard the ship.

- Anonymous, 21/07/2026 16:12, Travelled with Family

Very nice ship in top condition and handled well by Captain. Had upper deck cabin….nice bathroom/shower but bed too firm and pillows lacking. Cruise Director “Dino” was excellent….5 stars! His knowledge, attentiveness to everyone was top shelf. A real gem of a cruise director. Stewardesses and deck-hands 5 stars. Cook has mixed reviews …if you like food well done then no complaint. But we liked our food medium rare and unfortunately all dinners except two were well done. Presentation and deserts very good. Nice swim stop locations and interesting ports. Overall…we give it an 9.0 with only real complaint: Not asking passengers how they liked their meat or fish cooked. There were only 6 couples on our cruise. It could have been handled easily in the galley.

- Richard, 21/07/2026 14:48, Travelled with Family

It was fantastic! We loved every second of it. Dino and the crew did an exceptional job, they were very attentive, detailed and worked very hard to make sure the trip was the best that it could be. Sail Croatia is lucky to have him as well as the others who provided services while we were on board. Thank you for making our time away from home a memorable experience. I highly recommend the elegance cruise with Sail Croatia!!!

Absolutely loved this holiday. The ship was immaculate, crew were amazing, with special note to Vedran our cruse guide. He was so lovely and very funny, nothing was too much trouble.

We sailed on the Olimp⚓️ from Dubrovnik to split. What an amazing adventure. The ship was very clean and modern. The crew was amazing. I could not believe the quality of the food that they served out of the small kitchen! The swim stops were one of the highlights for me. We look forward to coming back again as my wife said this was the best vacation since our honeymoon 28 years ago.

- Chris, 07/07/2026 18:24, Travelled with Family

Best possible way to see the Croatian islands. Croatian people are wonderful. Food was great (especially the Peka octopus). We would definitely do this again. Our boat was the most elegant one on the water. Beautiful lines, comfortable cabins with en suite bathroom, relaxing salons and friendly crew. Our guide directed us to the best excursions and advised us off the worst.

- Scott, 07/07/2026 09:53, Travelled with Family

Exceptional! Everything top notch! Food, boat, crew, all wonderful! Fabulous Holiday!

Fantastic cruise from start to finish. The boat was beautiful as was the cabin. The crew were friendly and helpful and always had a smile on their faces. Anita the tour manager was exceptional on keeping us informed and supporting and looking after all the guests at any time of the day, extremely professional. The islands we visited were beautiful and swim stops great. We had a great time with all our fellow travellers and Anita supported this large family bonding of all the guests. Truly a great holiday which will be long remembered.

Truly a trip of a lifetime. Croatia is gorgeous and this is the best way to really get a glimpse of this wonderful country. The staff of the Katarina were amazing and ensured that we had an exceptional experience. The food, service, absolutely everything was top notch. Not to be missed experience.

After discovering Sail Croatia a few months ago—and reading countless glowing reviews on TripAdvisor—I decided it was time to add island-hopping on a superyacht to my bucket list! I’m so glad I did, because this cruise turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. After decades of “research,” I’ve finally found my favourite type of holiday—and my preferred way to travel! The MV Katarina, along with everyone on board (guests and crew alike), was completely my vibe. 🫶🏻 I’d always dreamed of a holiday like this, and it exceeded every expectation. The crew were outstanding. A huge thank you to Captain Ivan, to Zeljko & Karlo the talented chefs, Ivana and Karlo in the bar and restaurant, Petra in housekeeping, the engineers & deck crew. A very special mention must go to our cruise director Anita. Her warmth, enthusiasm, hard work & attention to detail made the experience truly special & unforgettable. Thank you to everyone at Sail Croatia.

- Larry, 17/06/2026 11:42, Travelled with Family

From pre-boarding to waiting for different transportation upon departure, the experience was seamless. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my family and other passengers on the boat. Our cruise manager Dino did amazing with constant and clear communication, being available for anything we needed whenever, and the knowledge and pride in their country to share with all of us. I was the youngest on the group by 40 years yet I still had such a fun time at the swim spots and islands we visited. The food was great, crew did amazing with everything and I was thoroughly comfortable throughout my entire stay. Highly recommend and I will be back with more friends and family in the future!

- Mary, 17/06/2026 08:33, Travelled with Family

Wonderful holiday with sail Croatia. The staff was fabulous and our fellow travelers were engaging and adventurous.

- Cindy, 16/06/2026 13:03, Travelled with Family

Absolutely amazing. There are very few holidays that are flawless, but this was one of them. From the moment we stepped on board Katarina we were blown away by the attention to detail by the crew and how amazing the boat was. The itinerary was perfect, with a great mix of tours and plenty of time to still relax and unwind along the stunning Croatian coastline. Our tour manager Anita was enthusiastic, thoughtful and a passionate person, that had everything covered from the moment we arrived. We have made life long friends and memories from our time onboard and would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone who might be interested.

wonderful it couldnt have been more special. my daughter and i had done the same trip together 15 years ago .. so we knew it was going to be beautiful and it was... it exceeded our expectations. the staff were brilliant and croatia is stunning.

- vanessa, 16/06/2026 05:17, Travelled with Family

My husband and I had a fantastic time on this cruise. Croatia is a beautiful country and what a perfect way to see it for first time. A great itinerary - nice mix of organized activity and free time. Swim stops were amazing. Dino and the crew went out of their way to ensure we were safe and well looked after. Dino had recommendations, solutions, ideas, suggestions for everything we could have wanted or needed. The Captain’s dinner and group dinner in Žrnovo village were extra special. The walking tour with Nik in Žrnovo was a fascinating view into traditional village life years ago - we could have listened to him all evening. Terrific food on board! We had a great group of travel companions and left the cruise with new friends and memories for a lifetime.

- Jane, 13/06/2026 18:51, Travelled with Family

We had an incredible time and Croatia was beautiful. Our cabin was quite spacious and the shower was good. We would have liked to see a kettle and cups in the room. The food was excellent and there was a good variety of food for lunch. It was nice to see land whilst cruising along. The islands we visited were beautiful and the swim stops were very enjoyable. I do feel the suggested tips for the staff were very high, 105 euros per person for the host on a ship of 36 people is 3,780 euros for the week. Whilst our host was very good it is still an awful lot of money for one person in tips alone. All in all an excellent experience and we would highly recommend the trip.

- Ken, 10/06/2026 13:15, Travelled with Family

Our 7 days on Esperanza were wonderful from Karla our tour leader, to our esteemed captain who took us safely to port each day with an eye on the weather and our safety in mind. The breakfasts and lunches each day were delicious with excellent care from the bar/wait staff. The crew members were quick to help and got us docked with minimum fuss and our housekeeper kept our cabins tidied each day. The islands visited were delightful and made one want return one day. Karla gave us excellent information about each port and island and was willing to assist in every way.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week on the Esperanza from Dubrovnik to Split. The crew is exceptional. They can't do enough. The islands we visited were charming. Not too crowded. The swim stops at these remote locations were beautiful (though the water was chilly). The food on board was good and plentiful.

- Care, 09/06/2026 12:18, Travelled with Family

Words cannot express the wonderful experience we had on the Sail Croatia Olimp. The people were warm and friendly and went way out of their way to provide top notch service. Always friendly, available and accommodating, we felt so well cared for. The food was incredible, ans we always felt safe wherever we went, We had swim stops, history tours, and rest time. Being on the turquoise blue Adriatic Sea and relaxing in the sun made it the perfect holiday. Don’t hesitate to book a trip on the lovely and well maintained yacht with these beautiful people. 🇭🇷🛥️

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Sail Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik. Everything was well organised, the boat itself was beautiful and the crew and tour leader were excellent. And a big shout out to the chef whose food was outstanding. Would highly recommend.

- John, 05/06/2026 02:25, Travelled with Family

My family had three cabins on the ship for the week. We enjoyed it thoroughly! The ship was 100% clean, beautiful and well organized. The beds and linens, outstanding. The crew absolutely focused on exceeding expectations. The Chef and his assistant prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches. Captain’s dinner evening was exceptional, and they brought on board a great musician to entertain us. Everybody danced and had a ball! The swim stops were a blast. And each port showed us a different dimension of Croatia. My wife and I would take this cruise again in a heartbeat!

- Steve, 03/06/2026 11:55, Travelled with Family

My holiday was legendary. As a solo traveler, I expected to be the mysterious lone wolf on the boat… but the crew and passengers immediately adopted me like a long‑lost cousin. Suddenly I had a whole squad, plus the freedom to wander off whenever my main‑character energy demanded a solo montage.My guide, Dino, was an absolute icon. If you get paired with him, congrats—you basically won the Croatian lottery. Every stop came with great suggestions, optional group dinners, and zero pressure. I even left with friends I’m now morally obligated to visit.And the food and wine? Outrageously good. Every meal tasted like someone’s grandmother blessed it, and the local wines were so delicious I briefly considered becoming a Croatian vineyard apprentice.Croatia is almost offensively beautiful, and having a local guide makes everything smoother and way more fun. The crew, the food, the wine, the swim stops—chef’s kiss. Paddle boards, snorkel gear, curated stops… all amazing.If you’re debating this
