A week full of fun, making new friends and carefree days. What made it even more fun was Bruno! What I did not like was the tipping policy in the end. The tour itself is already expensive and everyone spent lots of money on alcohol during those 7 days, which is exactly what the company wants. We shouldn't be the ones paying people's wages.

The cleanliness and aircon on the boat was a big let down but my experience was single handedly saved by our guide Simon who made the trip unforgettable.

Great trip, the crew and the guide were the best. Wouldn’t have beeen the same without them.

Absolutely amazing experience and crew, you’ll have the best week of your life meeting new people Boat was very old and run down but in comparison to the people and the memories you’ll make it’s worth the price would have been nice to include the taxes in the payment though was a little misleading. The other thing I didn’t like was we couldn’t mix with the sister boats only to find out it was because their drinks prices was different also

- Anonymous, 26/08/2026 11:07, Travelled Solo

It was a very nice trip overall with very kind crew and well organised, the cabins were nice and clean and the AC worked top. I loved the buoys and the swimstops where we could jump! Special shout out to Toni who organised the trip perfectly. Some things were slightly expensive, especially the BBQ extra charge of 30 euros was unecessary given the amount already paid, and I wish some activities could have been included as part of the original fare. Fellow travellers were very nice and agreeable, but it would be could to market the trip to other nationalities to make sure it is not only Aussies only!

- Nicolas, 15/08/2026 11:50, Travelled Solo

A great time for anyone who loves a party. Meeting lots of new people is fun and everyone on board is very friendly, it’s an extroverts dream and helps bring out introverts. The boat is somewhat comfortable, a little dated but nothing terrible, the bedding is a bit bare bones - take a proper pillow or blanket. Food is okay - nothing amazing, a few good meals during the week. Staff are very great, our guide Lauren was awesome and so were the crew. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a solid party and exploring - bring your wallet, your room is secured with payment but virtually everything on board is charged, except for on board meals. Even transfers from the boat and to events is charged to you, so bring at least a few hundred euros to cover these.

Really cool time away. Our staff were awesome. Great weather and smooth sailing

Yeah it was a great trip. Excursions were fun and there was a great vibe on the boat. I will make some complaints. The boat itself did not have any sails whatsoever. It was a bit old and rundown and smelled quite bad on the lower deck. Most mornings you don't sleep in from the noise of the motor. I feel like the drinks were a bit steep and especially the bell rings being 128 euros was ridiculous. Felt like exploiting customers for more profit. There is no way serving 30 odd people some shots is worth over 100 euros. Also the bartender used his hands to put ice in the buckets. Not anyones fault but something to be aware of was the whole boat ended up getting sick by the end of it and you would hear loud coughing at night. Having to pay in cash was a let down. Someone had a bar tab of over 1000euro and had to pay $44 in atm fees and call his bank. I would have appreciated being able to top up my tab in advance via card. The port fees being included was obviously just to make sure you

- John, 16/07/2026 14:57, Travelled Solo

It was a great week, great people and lots of fun! Many additional costs in the week for excursions, dinners etc that makes the trip cost a lot more than you realise. The trip leader was great but sometimes felt a little salesy and not genuinely caring. He offhanded a lot of organisation to participants who had to initiate activities to bring people together. Sometimes noone knew what was going on because plans weren't communicated. Would have liked more collabs with other boats at parties; the crowd was mainly our boat and other people at the club were a bit odd, especially some older Croatian men. At the Cave Club, people were getting preyed on and this club already had a known reputation for dodgy stuff, but noone informed us until it happened. Food was quite good. Each island had much to offer and explore, and the people on the boat were a lot of fun. Overall, a solid week and a unique experience - daily swims, lots of laughs, making friends - but may not do again in hindsight.

36F and definitely felt too old for the Navigator Cruise (everyone else was 30 or less which I think is the correct age to enjoy the experience). I also felt the cabins were very basic - again I'm probably too old, but it was more basic than the backpacker cruise I'd taken in Australia the previous year and due to the marketing I was expecting something a little more comfortable so it felt like a let down. It was also dissapointing to only be given Instant Coffee at breakfast. It would have also been nice to have information regarding the expected amount of the tips given prior to booking given they were >10% of the cost of the tour. On the upside, the Tour Manager was amazing and went out of his way to make sure I had a good trip. The crew was super kind and the ship was always clean. I'd give the Tour Manager and Crew 6/5 if I could! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the trip to someone younger but for me personally, the experience was just OK.

I had an amazing time on sail Croatia, it’s absolutely stunning and an experience I will never forget. The guests on my boat and the staff made this experience truly unforgettable. Our chef Darren was AMAZING, he made the most incredible vegetarian options going to so much effort even though I was the only vegetarian on board! Our guide Ante was kind and approachable with any questions, and truly wanted everyone to have an amazing time. Having a local guide like Ante made such a difference as he had so much more insight and knowledge than a foreign guide would be able to have. The only reason for a loss of a star was a cleanliness issue on board, but other then that it was perfect!

Best way to explore Croatia! The staff made me feel very welcomed and safe.

I had the most amazing time on my sail! I was travelling solo and we had the best group of people, I made such amazing friendships. Lovre was so awesome! Very knowledgeable on each stop we made, he was kind, compassionate and made the experience so much fun! I highly recommend!

- Beth, 29/08/2025 09:21, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia was so much fun. I was there solo and there weren’t many other solo travellers but it was so easy to make friends cause everyone was so welcoming and awesome! The crew were PHENOMENAL, great meals attentive waiter (that even rang the bell for us multiple times!). The only thing to be mindful of is there were lots of little cash payments for bus transfers that were optional but also the only real way to get into some cities so it added up. Honestly I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone it was fantastic!

- Sarah, 13/08/2025 04:35, Travelled Solo

I loved how comfortable was. Arriving as a sooo traveller it was scary. But the boat felt like home. I also love how it was definitely worth your money. Breakfast and lunch included! really made things easier. We also had sm time on our hands. I loved going out. Our tour guide was so funny and definitely made it memorable. And we had such a beautiful crew. I got very lucky last week. Now I’m left with post Sail Croatia depression.

- Nadia, 06/08/2025 09:04, Travelled Solo

I had such a fun week aboard the Penelopa navigator cruise! From amazing food, stunning scenery, daily swim stops, free time exploring the towns, optional excursions and of course daily happy hour and clubbing, it was a great way to see and experience Croatia. Shout out to our amazing crew especially our bartenders/waiters Charlie and Ivan, our chef Robbie and captain Big Daddy and his wife and dog Daisy who worked hard to make the experience extra special. Grateful for our rep Lovre who kept us all organised and in check. He really came out of his shell by the end of the trip and felt like one of the group, making an effort to have fun and socialise with everyone. My highlights of the week were the buggies in Korcula, the bikes in Mljet national park, the daily swim stops and many of the clubs. Only let down was the boat itself being so old and run down - the below deck rooms were tiny and hot and there were not enough showers for the amount of people on board. Doors did not lock.

- Emma, 09/07/2025 12:26, Travelled Solo

Actual boat was a lot of fun but ended up with a 50 euro fine on the way out of Croatia because my stay on the boat wasn’t declared in the different places

- Riana Coshott, 08/07/2025 08:50, Travelled Solo

The boat itself and bar staff were amazing. The tour guide was late on ship which was fine but when we all boarded she didn’t introduce herself until later that evening and no one knew what was going on a many hours. She only really interacted via WhatsApp to give us a plan of the day but wasn’t until midday so it felt quite unorganised and I didn’t love not knowing what we were doing. She spent a lot of time on her phone, smoking and vaping and wasn’t interactive besides the “crew talk”. I wish it was a bit more organised. However besides that, the bar man kept us up to date always and was very nice and chatty.

- N/A , 28/06/2025 05:53, Travelled Solo

With Sail Croatia it is really for those aged between 18-28. Anyone above 30 and you feel a little out of place. These days everyone is traveling in groups of 2-6. Gone of the days of solo travellers from my recent sail where there was only 4 of us solo travellers. It does make it a little harder to meet people but I guess at the end of the day it really is a luck of the draw. It definitely is a good experience. Just prepare to be oboard with a bucket load of aussies haha

- dan, 19/09/2024 23:05, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia needs a boat dedicated to solo only travellers. My experience was fun and thoroughly enjoyed it although it was somewhat difficult to socialize with others as they were glued to their friend until roughly day 5 where everyone started to branch out and really connect as a group.

- Anonymous, 11/09/2024 12:41, Travelled Solo

When they tell sail Croatia is one of the best weeks you’ll experience they aren’t lying!! Met the most amazing people, made the most amazing friends and got to experience some amazing scenery! I’m so grateful for our trip leader Ceili was an absolute legend I felt like she was one of us, she was so helpful, took the time to get to know us all and spent most of her time with us! The crew on the boat were incredible, so friendly, helpful, made sure everyone was happy and also joined us for a good time! So grateful and I couldn’t recommend this enough and I’ll be talking about it for years to come!! Big shout out to the crew on TRVDI you bloody legends thank you for giving us the best experience possible!!!

- Emma, 31/08/2024 15:50, Travelled Solo

Great way to see the islands and party through Croatia. Katarina our guide was so lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was nothing special but our guide and the experiences they provided made up for it,

- Camille, 09/08/2024 17:08, Travelled with Family

It really depends on the group & crew that makes the trip. The bartender on the boat wasn't the most pleasant and the chef was horrible. I knew going on the boat that the food was not going to be the best but it was horrible. Also, I didn't like how we didn't have to much free time and the swim spots were okay, nothing great either. Overall, the trip was okay.

- Jessica, 09/08/2024 14:15, Travelled Solo

I was lucky enough to get the best group of people and best crew. But all I can say is that booking the ensuite boat for navigator is definitely all you’ll need for a week. You’ll have more fun on this boat if you’re solo or with one or two mates. If you’re travelling with a bigger group of friends you should think about selecting a nicer boat.

- James, 07/08/2024 00:34, Travelled Solo

Was very happy with the room, both the bedroom and bathroom were decently sized and had good facilities. The food on the boat was really great, we were never hungry. The crew were kind and hardworking. I wish we could’ve been informed on our swim spots more. The boat would just depart from them without notice so you might miss out or jump in without realising we were about to leave. I think our tour manager could’ve gave us better suggestions on what to do in town. Sail is a great way to travel and I really enjoyed my week!

- Anonymous, 05/08/2024 09:35, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia really let me down with my experience by not mixing the people on our boat. Out of 30 people there were 29 women (13 of which were one big group that were not very interested in socialising outside of their group) the one male was a partner of the only couple on the boat. I believe variety in people would have most definitely improved everyone's experience. While our tour manager was absolutely lovely and kind I was disappointed with their lack of knowledge of Croatia in general. Unfortunately their inexperience showed when they struggled to comand respect and order when addressing the group. This showed when organising activities or even getting people excited meet up to learn about our beautiful scenic stops. The crew onboard were so lovely and accommodating. The food was great. After stopping at a few ports and seeing the variety in types of Sail Croatia Boats I was also disappointed that when booking I was not given options to upgrade to a boat with better facilities.

- Caris, 03/08/2024 08:31, Travelled Solo

The views, food and friends made were amazing! Wanted to say a special thanks to our crew and in particular our trip manager Andro. He really made this experience extra special for each and every one of us marking sure we all go the most out of our trip. This week will go down in the history books for 7 days I'll never forget. Hope to do it all again soon ❤️

- Alyssa, 29/07/2024 17:18, Travelled Solo

I had a great time aboard the Afrodita while being a solo traveler. I met tons of friends and shared great memories. The food and on board entertainment were great, but the bar prices were not competitive at all. Drinks were €10-12 and happy hour was only 10% off. Bell ring shots were also €120 at the start of the trip and usually mostly juice unless you were watching the bartender and telling him to pour more alcohol. When comparing with passengers in other boats, their drinks were only €4 (didn't have to pay for mixers) and bell rings on their boat were only €80. If our boat had cheaper drinks, more drinks would have been purchased on board, but our group was considered fairly tame because people didn't end up buying many drinks on board. More money could have been made by this boat on alcohol, but they were stingy with prices and portions and wondered why they didn't make much money. The trip overall was great, but the bar was their biggest downfall.

I had fun exploring & it all being organised for me but there was a lot of groups so felt a bit hard to get to know people. The crew were amazing!

- Erin, 10/06/2024 10:09, Travelled Solo

The easy answer...YES. However a bit differently... I would recommend going in peak season so the weather doesn't interfere with your itinerary. Be prepared to spend more money than you think! The party cruise is 110% partying every single day...your liver definitely gets a run for its money. Overall your group makes the experience. As a solo traveler I still had the best time and made so many friends/memories!!!!!!!

- Zoe, 11/10/2023 13:22, Travelled Solo

Our Crew Leader Nikola went above and beyond on so many occasions for not only our boat (Big Blue) but for passengers on other boats. There were two times that some of the girls on the other boats were in a distressful situation from locals or other unrelated tourists. He got them back to the boat safely in a seamless and timely manner, His attentiveness to safety for everyone was incredible. The only fault was we had 3 lounge chairs on the top deck of the boat to share between 25.

- Luke Stafford, 18/09/2023 03:01, Travelled Solo

I felt like it was almost expected of us to drink every single night, which led to many of us feeling sick and terrible by the end of the week and not actually enjoying the beautiful places we stopped at. I wish there were more non-drinking activities so we could’ve gotten to know everyone better. Sometimes it felt like you couldn’t participate unless you were drinking. Our boat was also definitely one of the cheapest models. If I had a little more detail about what exactly each boat entailed I probably would’ve booked the next level up. That being said, the crew was fantastic and our guide was great.

- Julia, 13/09/2023 07:21, Travelled Solo

Our boat itself was fantastic, make sure you book the Gradina. Also a huge shout out to the chef who was fantastic. Our lunches and 2 dinners were delicious. My experience was tainted by the make up of the group, but that is the risk you take with group tours. The activities were the highlight though especially the Mljet national park bike ride.

this trip was amazing! its a well oiled machine, the swim spots, the activities, the nightlife. I'm convinced the only way to see the croatian coast fully is by boat. Im really glad i did the VIP navigator on the salve di mare ship, it was clearly the nicest ship. also the perks were great for the VIP, the food was good, the maid service daily, the ship itself was beautiful. the rooms were even more spacious than expected. i didn't realize this was almost an exclusive aussie trip so that was a surprise, i was expecting people from all over the world. luckily most people were nice and whoever was annoyed by me being american i just kept my distance. i did expect more solo travelers but it was actually a lot of couples. or groups of couple friends. i wish the drinks on the boat were a little cheaper to encourage more mingling on the boat, everyone just seemed to be drinking in their rooms to avoid the prices at the bar.

- Anonymous, 23/08/2023 20:02, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia was fun in general if you like partying everyday. For me was okish, from their social media I expected it to be a lot of swim stops, but in reality it’s very quick morning stop -some of the days then your stuck in port most of the time. They changed our tour around a little bit so we didn’t get to see stari grad. Food quality for price could have been way better, way too much pork/meat and not much flavor, breakfast wasn’t good so I ended up skipping it everyday.. They activities they offer aren’t the best, I think the zip lining was the best but the buggying was not worth the money. The tour guide we had she was very nice but not super informative, but from other people I spoke to seemed we got very lucky with out staff members as other boats girls were getting harassed and bar tabs wrong. Probably wouldn’t sail again unless it was VIP and different cruise type.

- Jamie, 21/08/2023 06:17, Travelled Solo

The people on the boat were so likeminded and crew did the absolute most to ensure we had a good week. It would’ve been fantastic to stick to the itinerary a little more, and have more things like sun beds/chairs for the time we were on the boat.

- Zaffie, 11/08/2023 09:34, Travelled Solo

being able to get new clean towels for showering would of been good as the rooms and bathrooms get so disgusting especially since there are no curtains on the showers so water gets everywhere. i didn’t expect the drinks to be as expensive as they were. the crew was great regardless of these factors.

- Anonymous, 07/08/2023 12:55, Travelled with Family

First I want to say the crew was amazing, very helpful and friendly. Also the food was epic. Unfortunately on my ship our rep left after 1 day and we were stranded, the new rep came on and bless her soul she was lovely but not suited to a party boat. The boat I was on as well had one big group of friends who didn't really want to mingle that much with everyone else or actually party much which was annoying. My roommate was also very sick and she got me sick, so I'm angry about that because it's ruined my trip. All the food places we went to were hella expensive and meh, also the clubs were over hyped and too expensive. The drinks on the boat were annoyingly over priced and so we just didn't want to pay those prices to drink a lot. I was recommended this by a friend but unfortunately I will be telling people not to waste their money especially if traveling solo. It was the worst part of my trip so far.

- Kirstie, 05/08/2023 11:40, Travelled Solo

Swimming in beautifully clear water, making friends with a bunch of amazing people and partying in some of the coolest clubs and locations you’ll find in the world. I had a great time doing Sail Croatia but it’s something I’d only do once. Be prepared to be a shell of yourself when you get off the boat. Four stars because our first tour guide got fired half way through (thankfully because he was completely useless) and because he/the boat tried to scam us into paying for the air conditioning even though it was advertised as being included in the price.

- Isaac, 02/08/2023 09:21, Travelled Solo

Friendly staff, well organized daily activities

- Pietro, 24/07/2023 06:57, Travelled Solo

The ship, crew, tour leader, food etc. was simply awesome. Can’t fault the destinations and sight seeing either. Absolutely stunning. However the booking system needs serious improvement. Large groups are placed on the boat which inherently makes it hard for solo guests to socialise as these groups are generally not as interested to meet new people. It makes solo guests feel awkward and like a ‘spare wheel’. It was clear our tour manager could see this occurring. It would be far better if solo guests or small groups be placed together, and Sail Croatia would have known these groups were on the ship with me. Pretty disappointed I wasn’t given the option to even downgrade vessel, if that meant I could be with more ‘like-minded’ travellers or guests. I’m going to find it difficult to recommend to others who are solo travelling as well….Coupled to this when placed in a room with a complete stranger, give each guest a key. If either guest wants to do different activities, makes things awk.

- Thomas , 17/07/2023 05:19, Travelled Solo

I had the best week abroad Penelopa with host Caitlin and while I think there are some improvements that need to be made, I still had an amazing time. Caitlin was such a fun, personable and knowledgeable host who was committed to helping us have the best time possible. The boat could do with some improvements, such as the showering facilities and lack of fans in each below deck room, as this made sleeping rather uncomfortable. We also had some changes to our schedule, outside of Caitlin’s control, that were rather disappointing and left us missing out on activities such as kayaking and buggy ing which were all crowd favourites. All in all I had the most amazing week with such a good groups of people who I now call dear friends!

- Caitlin, 07/07/2023 13:51, Travelled Solo

I enjoyed my time but was it worth the amount of money I spent? No way, could’ve had a much better time spending less money doing something different. Obvious attempts to make extra profits left a sour taste. Drink prices on board were similar to a bar and lot’s of people found discrepancies between what they were charged and what they ordered. Nearly everyone just drank offshore towards the end of the cruise. The BBQ dinner was the most obvious sign of taking our cash. Charging us 25 Euro’s for a BBQ and offering no other alternative for dinner since we were out of port was shocking. Was just very average food so reckon it cost about 10 euro’s per person. Some other compulsory charges like the tourist tax should’ve just been included in the initial price anyway, if we 100% have to pay it then why exclude it from the initial price?

- Anonymous, 05/07/2023 07:57, Travelled Solo

My tour guide Sam. He knew all the places to go and was always organised. He had all the answers to any question and was not only a great leader but a great friend. My favourite part was the swim stops and wished there was more. Could not recommend this experience enough to anyone!!

- Jerri , 16/06/2023 12:12, Travelled Solo

The food on our boat was horrible. There was very little provided for breakfast (usually just bread with butter) and the included lunch was always extremely disappointing (usually soup with bread and some kind of boiled meat). We were all very hungry and there were no snacks provided during the day- we couldn’t bring our own snacks on board and we didn’t dock until the afternoon so there was no option to get off the boat to buy food. The rest of the tour was amazing and I would definitely do it again.

- Anonymous, 06/06/2023 07:46, Travelled Solo

The team were awesome most of the activities were great. The boat was good value for money. Some of the lunches were a bit bland, a second option would be good too. Even if we could decide the day before to avoid waste. Hot showeres would of been nice Wouldnt affect my rating *A group chat before the tour started would be cool to meet other people.

- Vicki, 30/05/2023 21:40, Travelled Solo

Really great experience. Just could be more transparent with the costs of excursions. Easy to deal with and great crew.

- Sean, 14/09/2022 10:43, Travelled Solo

What a convenient way of getting to see all the amazing islands off the coast of Croatia! The staff work so hard to make sure everyone is having a good time. A little costly for the food you get onboard but other than that no problems. It’s not a luxurious experience so don’t go into it thinking it wasn’t clean, fancy or spacious enough. You’re on a party boat island hopping and it was just that. Would recommend!!

- Kel, 08/09/2022 16:22, Travelled Solo

The boat was great and loved Croatia, however the problem was with the organisation and poor communication from staff. There were two trainee guides on board as well and they all clashed with each other. We were promised parties in the middle of the sea with a barbecue when in reality we had an early curfew and this didn’t go ahead at all. Early June was off season for most of the clubs so itinerary was not accurate at all. Swim stops were not communicated so I missed some of them. Croatian staff on board (bartender, captain, cook) were great though.

- Issy, 01/09/2022 07:03, Travelled Solo

I loved every moment of my week on the Nerezine. I has the best group of people that made me as a solo traveller feel welcomed. The crew were also amazing! I did however feel some of the extra add on were not presented to us, for example the canoeing. There were also some issues below deck in my room that I thought were not up to scratch. These include leaking water from the ceiling, out ensuing door not closing and latching. The toilet was an issue as I couldn't use it properly, but I was able to make do. These issue however did not make my time on the boat bad, for me they are just amenities, the people and places you visit is what matter and makes the trip what it is. As I said before it was one of the best weeks of my life and I have you, Sail Croatia and Ioana and crew to thank for that.

- Bradley, 23/08/2022 16:51, Travelled Solo

What a fantastic week through the islands and coastline of Croatia. The people and crew made everything feel like the once in a lifetime trip this deserves to be. Tempted to go on the yacht trip on day once I recover from the craziness of the navigator cruise. Needs a few less Aussies, although maybe that's what made it so good.

- Anonymous, 22/08/2022 18:36, Travelled Solo

The website is extremely hard to navigate. On day 1 of our cruise we were told to get off the boat after the meeting time because it wasn’t ready yet. This kind of disorganisation could have been avoided if you had a later meeting time. The price of excursions and drinks was pretty expensive and the fact that there wasn’t organised shuttles for a lot of stops was quite poor. There was a lot of hidden extras that added up. I definitely should have researched my ship more as it was way too party for me. I liked that breakfast and lunch was included everyday, however we didn’t get a lot of free time at most stops. Whilst I’m glad I did it I wouldn’t be doing another sail again. I think navigator is best suited to under 25 party goers. Also you shouldn’t ask people to review on the last day in front of their tour manager. It’s very awkward and not anonymous.

- Kieran, 22/08/2022 05:50, Travelled Solo

Dino and Tommo made the trip amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better 2 people to look after us the whole trip

- Anonymous, 29/07/2022 07:36, Travelled Solo

Great experience and people involved! Loved everything that was provided however paid extra to have an ensuite and be on top deck however the heat in my room was unbearable. It was right next to the engine room, the aircon faced away from the bed and didn’t provide any cooling effect. The bathroom was tiny and hot with the shower head facing the toilet. I didn’t sleep in the room at all and slept on the floor down below deck as the air con was much better down there. I would like to be compensated for the extra money I paid for an ensuite as the room was not liveable.

- Kate, 12/07/2022 19:20, Travelled Solo

With a backdrop as beautiful as Croatia its hard to go wrong. Yet, this wasn't smooth sailing. Maybe it was the fact I had such high expectations from the glowing reviews that Sail Croatia gets, but the tour just felt extremely disorganised. We had a very lacklustre tour manager that did very little to hype up the mood and bring the group together. There was also A LOT of wasted time on the boat. SC markets these gorgeous daily swimspots; reality was not this with spots in random locations overlooking roads and deserted housing. We spent 4-5 hours each day anchored in the one spot rather than seeing the actually towns/islands marketed. The tipping point being the 'Day trip' to Mljet. We anchored near Mljet at 9am and didn't port at the park till close to 2pm, where we were then told to be back at the boat by 4pm. This left about an hour to explore! After completing many organised tours in the past, this definitely has turned me of organised tours in the future!

- Nick, 11/07/2022 06:32, Travelled Solo

The main thing I would change would be the tour guide. He was a very nice person but brought no energy or people skills to the group. Sometimes when we were asking him stuff it was like trying to draw blood from a stone. His answers were always “I don’t know I’ll ask the captain” lucky our group was very independent and we managed to find our own things to do and entertain ourselves. The aircon on the boat was very poor and j was disappointed at the boat crew handing us the review form on their iPad telling us we need to give them a 5 star review and then leaving an envelope in our rooms for tips. I had higher expectations as I heard a lot of good things and but it’s if I wasn’t b a problem

Great trip. I thought I would love drinking every day but I got tired of it quickly and only wanted to focus on the exploration. If you’re looking to party constantly this is a great trip, otherwise if you want to explore just stick to hostels and travel

Hello, Great trip with great people. Weather meant weren’t able to do everything but was still great fun. I understand it was the end of the season but I feel Ela could have done a better job of making sure everyone was informed and involved in the week. Communication wasn’t great and I really felt there was a missed opportunity to bring everyone together and create a real family atmosphere. Crew were awesome and worked really hard to ensure we were having a good time. Were a couple of incidence with things going missing and finding loose clothes in the crew cabin. Overall a great experience but feel with a little bit of extra effort it would have gone a long way I’m creating a truly unforgettable experience. Cheers,

First of all, the sail week it’s self was fantastic! Ivana and the entire boat crew went constantly above and beyond to cater and help us with everything we ever needed! I was seriously impressed with their professionalism at all times! Ivana in particular was just the most amazing tour guide I’ve ever had! There were some major issues in errors made with my booking that were only noticed a few months out which really put a damper on the experience. The solutions they came to were satisfactory however the bus they booked me to get to Dubrovnik arrived after the lunch and welcome speech which was really disappointing as I missed the introduction aspect to the first day.

- Sam, 19/09/2019 07:51, Travelled Solo

Our tour leader Lamija was amazing. She was so helpful especially when any slight problems arose and we all felt like we could go to her for anything. So lucky to have her for my week on Sail! As for the boat, I'd strongly recommend paying extra for a nicer one. Our boat was not in the best condition. Overall I had a really great week on Sail Croatia!

- Anonymous, 18/08/2019 01:17, Travelled Solo

The crew was not the friendliest or nicest to majority of passengers on the boat. The amount of tips they expect at the end is ridiculous. If they want tips they should provide better service. They need a better variety of food. You aren’t allowed to bring snacks on and they don’t have any on board. The actual sail was the best week of my life. You go to some amazing places and meet some of the best people. I would do it again but i know what to expect next time.

- Anonymous, 12/08/2019 16:26, Travelled with Family

The whole Tuna crew was great! Eoin, Marco and chef Marco really made the trip. Also had a great group sailing as well! I would recommend, however, to bring a freind or two, especially if you do not get your own room. Also recomend doing all the activites!

- Eduard, 12/08/2019 12:54, Travelled Solo

Great Crew on board Met some great people Good activities

- Tim, 12/08/2019 06:59, Travelled Solo

Don’t feel obliged to drink and interact if you don’t want to! It gets quite exhausting as you are swimming and exploring different islands every day. Lovely swim spots, great lunches and very average alcohol. Thanks for an awesome week, definitely need some rest after this week!

- Crystal, 26/07/2019 17:03, Travelled Solo

Although slightly disappointed with having such a small number of people on our boat (which we were unaware was going to be the case). Julija (the leader) on my boat really made the trip. She was lots of fun, had really good information and really put in a big effort to make sure we all had a great time. Thanks Julija, your the best!!

- Jas, 23/07/2019 16:16, Travelled Solo

The boat was beyond my expectations, so clean and spacious (premier plus). Our guide Matt was a rockstar and went above and beyond to accomodate. The food was great and the organised activities were also brilliant. LOVED IT!!

- Anonymous, 23/07/2019 07:41, Travelled Solo

Great boat, amazing aircon. Daniel our tour guide knew all the good spots and gave great tips. Accommodated to my vegan diet well although I would’ve liked to have seen more for breakfast. Overall amazing trip. 100% would recommend if you’re looking to chill, swim and explore during the day and party at night!

- Anonymous, 14/07/2019 19:21, Travelled Solo

Staff were incredible, but to many issues happened on the boat. Generator was down for days, the chef cut his leg open and was unable to cook. Amongst a lot of other issues.

- Anonymous, 11/07/2019 10:00, Travelled Solo

My Sail Croatia experience was incredible and I would highly recommend the brand to friends and family. The route was well designed for rest days and nights. During nights out I felt very safe at the bars we were taken to. I was extremely impressed with the size of the room and the en-suite. However, the towel provided was an old beach towel which I believe a previous guest had left on board. As well that bathrooms bins and toilet paper should be regularly maintenance. The breakfast and lunch on board was amazing and the crew made sufficient effort to accomodate peoples needs. The paid BBQ on board was overly priced and didn’t meet myself or other guests expectations.Zac did a wonderful job on his first tour particularly ensuring the group felt safe and was having fun. He made a very conscious effort in making sure the entire group got along. As a solo traveller this was particularly welcoming.He consistently asked for feedback and would action any concerns or issues promptly.

- Ellen, 08/07/2019 19:17, Travelled Solo

I would like to send an email to fully explain my thoughts, however there were a number of events that detracted from my experience. Please note that the crew Bruno, Boris, Hichela, Marko, Karlo and Mate were fantastic in their efforts to solve the issues, and were extremely professional and dedicated to their jobs. When Mate injured his foot, the remainder of the crew were forced to cook, meaning the food quality decreased slightly (not their fault - they’re not chefs) and they couldn’t focus on their primary role. I was disappointed that Sail Croatia did not send a replacement chef or waitress to help. Secondly was a power issue cause by operator error, but again, I saw this as Sail Croatia’s mistake in not correctly training their crews or familiarising them with the ship. I still had a fantastic week (because of the crew and locations) but was disappointed with the lack of support from your company. Our crew were fantastic, but your company could use some improvement.

- Guy, 08/07/2019 09:53, Travelled Solo

The scenery, the weather , the others , the drink and the music !

- Sean, 02/07/2019 09:21, Travelled Solo

Firstly i have to say i had a great week doing Split to Dubrovnik. The boat we sailed on was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I do have to say how great our waiters were (Alena & Tommy) who brought a lot of fun and laughs however the chef and food could have been improved a lot. I know a lot of people on board were rather dissapointed by this. It would have also been nice to have a small thank you speech or something from our Sail Croatia tour manager instead we got nothing the morning of our departure which was rather odd and a bit disappointing after we spent a week together. We had a group of 40 people and i could not have asked for a better group of people to sail with.. Some people wanted to party every night while others wanted to take it a bit easy however everyone all got along great which was so awesome to see.

- Anonymous, 18/06/2019 00:57, Travelled Solo

Had an enjoyable time on this cruise. The islands we visited were spectacular and the free, led by Ivan the skipper and Steve the head tour guide, were fantastic and were able to assist with any issues. Overall I had a great time and would highly recommend this as a great way to see Croatia from the water.

- Anonymous, 17/06/2019 17:07, Travelled Solo

The cruise was fun, met some great new people. My only complaint would be the food. As a vegetarian the food on the boat was not good. The first day was alright but on the 2nd night I recurved a plate of half boiled vegetables that had been covered in oil. Being hungry made enjoying the cruise to its full potential difficult. The boat team did their best to rectify after a complaint was made. However, it should have been thought about prior, in an age were there are quite a few vegetarians and making vegetarian food is not difficult a menu that is appropriate should be considered Other than that the staff were lovely the rooms were average the parties were fun, Croatia is gorgeous. Would definitely go back!

- Taleetha, 12/03/2019 05:06, Travelled Solo

I had an amazing week sailing from Dubrovnik to Split with Ivana, our representative. She was so thoughtful and nice. She really did an excellent job! Joe and Marko were so personable and made our week so enjoyable. The chef, Mate made so many delicious meals. I was thoroughly impressed. The people I met were amalxng and unforgettable!

- Rebecca, 06/09/2018 17:47, Travelled Solo

Boat was nice and clean. Great group of travelers. Overall a great experience!

- Katherine, 03/09/2018 00:39, Travelled with Family

Great tour leader, friendly crew, decent breakfast and lunch included, good tours and excursions, good nights out and an unforgettable week in stunning Croatian islands!

- Daniel, 16/07/2018 08:12, Travelled Solo

The scenery of the islands, nightlife and food on board the ship was amazing! Also having both an indoor and outdoor pub on board was extremely handy. Daniel was also a great trip leader with a bunch of local knowledge.

- Matt, 02/07/2018 04:53, Travelled Solo

The team on board was amazing but compared to other companies and tours I have done (like Contiki) it wasn't quite as organised or factual. If I were to sail around Croatia again I would opt to go with Contiki

- Bob, 03/10/2017 08:23, Travelled Solo

Spending a week with 40 awesome people and a fantastic tour guide (Mario) & crew was the best! Unfortunately a few (including myself) got quite sick while away, but these things happen and I tried not to let it deter me from the crazy awesomeness that is Sail Croatia!

- Luke, 25/09/2017 11:48, Travelled Solo

I had a blast! Tons of new experiences and jumping out of my comfort zone! The best: Cetina river canyoning!! I am not a party animal, and Navigator cruises are for those who want to party every night! I would recommend SaiCroatia a thousand times!

- Anonymous, 11/09/2017 06:49, Travelled Solo

Almisa Blu crew and rep were awesome! Professional and helpful all the time. They were approachable and gave a lot of local knowledge. We had a great group of travellers which generated really good atmosphere.

- Hamish, 11/09/2017 05:05, Travelled Solo

Overall my week on the Naval for Sail Croatia was an amazing experience. From the gorgeous sights and scenery to the fun nights out, it was a trip to remember. However, I think the Naval crew could all agree that our trip was made exceptional by being lucky enough to have Aleks as our guide. What a lovely, caring and absolutely fun and hilarious person. I cannot recommend Aleks highly enough and hope that the Sail Croatia team value this gem! Thanks for a wicked week Aleks! X Also a huge thanks to Izak, Big Mumma, Mario and the skippers for everything!

- Alesha, 21/08/2017 18:44, Travelled Solo

The food made by the chef was brilliant and varied every day. The air conditioning was so powerful in our rooms that it made sleeping in them so easy and satisfying. Some of the optional excursions were well run and an enjoyable experience (particularly the zip wiring and the buggies)

- Anonymous, 21/08/2017 10:26, Travelled Solo

Had high expectations going on a navigator cruise as people told me it was the "best week" ever! Sail croatia did not disappoint, indeed it was the most amazing week ever, with the most outgoing/fun/craziest group of people, lets do it again, wouldnt change a thing, besides some airconditioning #mlini😉

- Alba, 15/08/2017 09:34, Travelled with Family

We were SUPER lucky on our sail to have a fantastic host Ivana, being a local herself ment for our group that we could trust we were in the best hands at each destination. Ivana was always a step ahead of us making sure we were happy and comfortable, she was quite literaly the glue that held us together. At times she may have felt a little in over her head, but she kept her cool in every situation, she never gave up on us and in the end with her patience and understanding, bought us closer together as a family, We put her through a lot during our week sail and for that she deserves gold medal And our crew ofcourse were also fantastic! super friendly, always having a joke with us, and there was not a single time where someone wasnt around when we needed help, thankyou all for the laughs and the good times. Also a big thumbs up to our chef onboard, the food was always delicious, there wasnt a single meal I did not finish. Big loves to you all, Sail Croatia you have stolen my heart ❤

- Tessa, 28/07/2017 04:32, Travelled Solo

The cruise was poorly planned in regards to ratios for solo travellers. All dudes and all in a group already leaves little for a solo traveller to appreciate. Having said that the crew made the trip. With particular mention to Georgia. Her commitment to people on the ship (not appreciated by all) created an experience that redeemed sail croatia in my eyes. Her work and professionalism is the only reason I would recommend Sail Croatia to my mates travelling in groups. Great week but not without the hard work of the rep and the crew.

- Anonymous, 24/07/2017 14:21, Travelled Solo

The passengers and crew were all really great. They were knowledgable about all the places and keen to have a good time with us. Sailing the coast was the most beautiful way to see Croatia and I do not regret it.

- Eloise, 24/07/2017 10:10, Travelled Solo

The cabin crew and our host Lara were incredible! They were so friendly and made our time so entertaining. Im so sad to leave them they were like our family by the end of the week. Our whole boat was full of like-minded people and we all made sure everyone had a blast. Top job.

- Amy, 06/07/2017 17:27, Travelled with Family

The best part of this trip is definitely the places that we went to that made my experience so rememberable. I did everything that I wanted to do out of this trip. Dubrovnik, Korcula, Mljet, Hvar, such beautiful places to see and to explore. I will definitely book another cruise like this in the future to revisit these places again.

- Anthony Dabor, 26/06/2017 06:48, Travelled Solo

The crew where fantastic! I loved everything about it was one of the funniest weeks of my life to date. The boat was a little rough could definitely use some doing up, showers , beds ect but another then that. Maja did a wonderful job, by far the best tour leader I have ever had! Our whole group where so suited and all got along so well, maybe that was a fluke. Thanks for a fantastic week ! X

- Emma , 19/09/2016 07:02, Travelled Solo

Booking process should show availability. You select a cruise that you want and it shows as available only to get an email shortly after that that boat/cabin is not available. I booked late, under the impression that there were heaps of spots remaining as the website said so only to end up in the worst room on the worst boat. No big deal in the end but annoying. Zero attempt by Sail staff to get everyone introduced together. Unfortunate weather meant we had to divert first night, no ones fault. Swim stops were few and far between, other ships seemed to have a lot more in better locations. missed the second last stop because of weather and went straight to dubrovnik. Weather was blue skies and no wind, I heard its because the boats don\'t want to pay docking fees. Staff very friendly. Food was actually good on boat, recommended restaurants were awful. Drinks wayyy to expensive, should be on par with mainland $5 AUD for a beer is a bit much for young people. Still fun.

- Marcus, 13/09/2016 05:19, Travelled Solo

I had a fantastic week on Sail croatia! It was great as a solo traveller as I made many new friends. The week went way too fast and I would have like to see more of the islands, but for a first trip it was fab! The staff on our boat were wonderful and the only reason I have given it 4 not 5 stars is because of the facilities on the boat which could have been a little bit better. Otherwise I highly recommend!

- Brooke , 01/09/2016 08:56, Travelled Solo

Great staff, Great food (Thanks cindy!!!)

- Lucy, 01/09/2016 07:32, Travelled Solo

The crew onboard Tarin were AMAZING! Food was fantastic and each stop- both swimming and overnight- was beautiful too! Ziplining and wine tasting tours were great as well!

- Ashleigh, 31/08/2016 17:46, Travelled Solo

The boat cabin (tvrdi) was cramped and stifling hot, the beer on the boat was a little more expensive than expected, but it was all worth it for one hell of a time! 38 people who all had one thing in common. They wanted to make memories (and lose some). If it's a party you want the navigator cruise is your choice. DEEP CLUB, HULA HULA, CARPE DIEM AND BOOGIE JUNGLE are the nights to be excited for. Stay AWAY from revelling in dubrovnik.

- Martyn, 22/08/2016 03:44, Travelled Solo

The room that I got was on the ensuite boat downstairs. Unbearable. Was so so hot down there, get no breeze through the hallway door, and when I opened the outside window a wave came in soaking my bed and ruining my phone. If your going to have rooms like this you need to make sure that the aircon on the boat works and if it doesn't work, get it fixed. I got really sick from this week due to lack of sleep and sleep in a saltwater soaked bed. Food was good, crew was good, activity options were good

- Nathan, 10/08/2016 04:32, Travelled Solo

Had a great time, however, the ratio of girls to guys was way too unbalanced on our boat, we were 28 girls and 5 guys, where 14 of those girls came as a group and kept to themselves most of the time. This limited group socialising. And then hearing about other boats who were having so much more fun as their group socialised more. Was a great cruise, make some cool friends nonetheless.

- Mary, 01/08/2016 21:12, Travelled Solo

I had a great week but there was certainly room for improvement. In the pros, I booked the most expensive boat of the fleet and it did not disappoint. It was large, clean, and the rooms were pretty spacious! Areas for improvement were - the price of 'happy hour' drinks (they are more expensive then most bars in tourist areas), the attitude of some staff members was petty unprofessional and a few of the excursions were expensive and over-rated. Easy things to fix - and overall, a great week:) would recommend

- Danika, 01/08/2016 06:18, Travelled Solo

Travelling Solo was a great way to experience this Sail week. Met so many new friends and all the staff were amazing on board, always wanted us to have a good time and would met our needs on any situation. Great to see so many areas of Croatia and were well informed on each spot we docked up. It is a trip you make what you make of it so a positive vibe and the willingness to try something new at every opportunity will see an epic week had and shared with others. Cant recommend it enough, but would do it again in a heart beat

- Samuel, 17/07/2016 14:46, Travelled Solo

The staff and the other guests on the cruise were awesome and they made the whole trip very special. Only criticisms I had were very minor. (Wasn't allowed cheese and bacon in my omelette, only one or the other. Ice in drinks was hard to come, 1 litre of water wasn't enough and wifi was a bit dodgey) Very minor but if I'm paying top dollar for the premier plus boat I would think small things like should be available. On a side note things like stand up paddles boards on the boat for use during swim stops would be the coolest thing ever! Just a suggestion. Overall I still had an amazing time and would definitely come back if I had the chance. Thank you for a lovely week.
