Ivana and the crew were absolutely wonderful and made this experience a must to do when in Croatia. Everything went smoothly and timely and was well organised. I can’t praise our tour Manager Ivana enough. She went out of her way many times to give such in-depth information and arrange excursions and activities for us that was far above what was expected or required.

Sail Croatia was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. The staff were absolutely incredible- so loving, kind, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You could tell they really cared about our experience, and that made all the difference. The boat itself was immaculate. Everything was kept so neat and tidy throughout the entire week, and it truly felt like a floating home. But what made the trip even more special were the people. I met some of the most amazing souls – people who started as strangers and became true friends, and even family. There's a unique bond that forms when you’re sailing, sharing meals, and cycling long miles. I can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for the memories, the friendships, and the magic. I’ll treasure this forever!

The small sized ships allowed access to smaller, quieter, and less busy ports allowing access to the real charm of Croatia. We loved the varied destinations, ports, and rides. No two days were the same. It also allowed us to really interact with the other guests and get to know them well. Our guide’s knowledge of the area and its history was excellent and very informative.

Great scenery; great staff - all of them, boat crew, wait staff, guides; great food.

It was my first time visiting Croatia and first time on this type of cruise. Both were incredible - the small Explorer cruise was a great way to explore the islands of Croatia. The sea and landscape in Croatia are stunning. Our tour guide, Vicko, was knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated how honest he was about which excursions would give us the best experience, he never pushed us to book something unless he really thought we would enjoy it. (And all of his recommendations were spot on.) We traveled as a family with a broad age range, and the Explorer cruise was fun for everyone. If you can, I'd recommend spending a few days before or after the cruise visiting the cities, since we spent almost all of the time on the islands.

Celili and the crew were so good and looked after me and my sister. I am going to Highly recommend these guys to to all my mates. Cheers

It felt like I was with family whilst on the boat. I needed to go to hospital and was cared for brilliantly by Marin and Johnny. The cycling was fantastic getting to see so much of each Island.
- Leanne, 05/06/2025 20:43, Travelled Solo
The cruise was incredible. I felt at home the second I got on the boat. The staff was so friendly and everyone on our boat was as well. The boat was incredibly clean and luxurious. I loved how we had time in the morning to relax and then the afternoon to do excursions and explore. It was the perfect balance. Our guide Vicko was amazing! He had so much information to share and was always honest with his recommendations about what he thought were the best things to do at each stop. We all got along so well and I feel we made lifelong friends! I would 100% do another Sail Croatia tour again!

We chose Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on the Salve De Mare as our summer family vacation with our 20 and 24 year old children. It was the perfect mixture of relaxation, sight seeing, adventure, and exploring. Our travel rep, Vicko, was awesome. He was always leading the way with great advice and direction. The crew of the Salve de Mare went above and beyond to accommodate and ensure everyone had a good time. The food and drinks on board were diverse and delicious. This was an intimate cruise with only 33 passengers and 9 crew. We truly came as strangers and left as friends. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve de Mare. Thanks for an awesome vacation!

The crew were amazing and helped out whenever necessary, Clara our Rep was very helpful and friendly. The experience was amazing and the people we met have become friends for life
- Erin, 05/06/2025 17:18, Travelled with Family
Clara and the crew were absolutely exceptional. I had such an amazing time on the boat because of these amazing people. Clara and her knowledge and organisation of the excursions and her ability to mix with everyone on the boat made everyone feel at home. Chef Alex got me up every morning with his breakfast and kept us fed right up to dinner with his 3 course meal. The rest of the crew were also all exceptional and it wouldn’t have been as great without them. I would recommend this week to anyone!
- Caroline, 05/06/2025 14:58, Travelled Solo
Not only was the location of the cruise stunning but the experience was made so much better by the crew of Salve de Mare and our guide Vicko. Every day was laid out for us in advance with advice on the best excursions and places to visit. The crew of the ship was always attentive and the food was delicious. Vicko was personable, knowledgeable and truly cared about our experience. Overall, the entire trip from start to finish was annazing and made for one of if not the best trips of my life.
- Luke, 05/06/2025 14:57, Travelled with Family
I was a bit nervous going into this trip since it was my first solo adventure, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Clara and the rest of the crew made me feel so welcome and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere on board. Everything from the itinerary to the people was incredible. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to travel solo. Highly recommend!
- Kyara , 05/06/2025 14:06, Travelled Solo
I really enjoyed sailing from Split to Dubrovnik on the Almissa. It's a lovely boat, with really nice, clean rooms and a great top deck to enjoy the views from. The crew were lovely, friendly and made the week fun. Our rep Vicko was fab - there didn't seem to be a thing about Croatia and the islands we visited he didn't know. The food was the definite highlight - we had very generous portions of delicious food. I loved it.
- Cara, 05/06/2025 13:12, Travelled Solo
From my first inquiry to the completion of our sailing trip all the staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. A very special thank you to our skipper Mislav and hostess Dora. They were both wonderful. Very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and great to travel with. It made for a unique holiday and lifetime memories. Thank you to all the staff at Sail Croatia.

With 3 20-something-year-old kids beginning to go in different directions, we were looking to explore Croatia together and solidify a vacation full of lifelong family memories together. I stumbled upon Sail Croatia as we looked for ways to see the coastal cities and islands. Boy, were we glad we did! An extra bonus was the ability to combine a bit of adventure and activity through a biking cruise. I can't say enough positive things about our experience on Mali Luka and the wonderful crew and captain. Our leaders Mila and Mario, were full of knowledge, experience, hospitality, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, kindness and a passion for the beauty and history of their country. The entire experience was top-notch. The meals and service on board were exceptional and delivered with a smile - always. We loved getting to know so many people from across the world with peace and trust and hospitality. We will forever cherish our memories and new friends from our Sail Croatia experience!
- Lori, 04/06/2025 14:13, Travelled with Family
The trip was easy to book, with lots of helpful tips and instructions on how to find to the ship in Split harbour. The itinerary was just perfect, island hopping everyday and stopping for swimming while spending a relaxing morning sailing and sunbathing on deck. Our tour host, Dino, made our trip truly memorable as well as the other guests we spent our week with. Dino was amazing, such a delightful guy. Our group is still messaging each other on the WhatsApp chat that Dino set up. We were informed each day of what to expect, what we could see, what time we were setting off, where to eat, drink, best places for anything that any guest was looking for. The holiday was a delightful balance of being well looked after whilst freedom to see/do as much as we wanted. Remember to bring more long-sleeved clothing if travelling in May as evenings are cool. Lunch was a tasty 3-course cooked meal which I would have preferred as a buffet selection personally. Definitely recommend the trip!
- Tamara, 04/06/2025 10:47, Travelled with Family
Took this trip with my family as a last hurrah before my sister gets married. It was everything and more I could have hoped for! I truly believe it was the best way to see Croatia. We did the cycling cruise and visited so many incredible places on the islands we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Our boat was always clean, the meals were FANTASTIC, but what really made it was the crew and our cycling guides. Haleem, one of our crew members, catered to every need and was always around to chat with us or teach us a new card game. Our cycling guides, Mila and Mario, were so knowledgeable and made sure to always provide us with the most out of every opportunity. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat!
- Kailee, 03/06/2025 01:25, Travelled with Family
This trip was really amazing! Loved the crew, and Marin was the best! Met so many great people and got to explore a lot of Croatia! They even did a great job with my diet. Would highly recommend!!

What an amazing experience - see more of the real Croatia away from tourist ports!. Our tour leaders were fantastic. Ivica was so knowledgeable about the islands and history and always very aware for our safety. Calhum and his tales and folklore of each town… and of course the best music choice! The whole crew - so attentive to all our needs. Azra and Ino cooked up amazing food and great desserts. Keno always had a smile as he welcomed us to breakfast and served up our drinks. The captain Mate and Ilya- excellent boatman and of course captain Mate’s boat was beautiful and well maintained. Very modern bathrooms with great hot water! My one word of VERY important advice - get the e-bike!!! Especially with loop! Can’t wait for the next one!
- Monika, 02/06/2025 13:35, Travelled Solo
The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.

The crew were fantastic with the energy and friendliness they gave. They were also very helpful with assisting us with anything we needed and made sure we had the best experience one could have! Would highly recommend the trip to anyone who wants to see many parts of Croatia in a short period of time, enjoying both the culture and nightlife!
- Craig, 02/06/2025 12:32, Travelled Solo
Had such an amazing time on Sail Croatia. Our rep - Marin did a fantastic job. He kept us all on task with frequent updates on the plan for the day, this evening and then plan for tomorrow. He has a wonderful personality that makes him approachable, and was extremely responsible and reliable when any issues arrose! I cannot imagine having a better rep than Marin. He really made the experience what it was. His in depth knowledge of the area as a local Croatian was essential. The excursions were great, the atmosphere on the boat was great, and most importantly Croatia was absolutely gorgeous! Loved essentially waking up to a new Mediterranean island location every day. Would without hesitation recommend this cruise and especially Marin as a rep to anyone and everyone!
- John McGowan, 02/06/2025 12:32, Travelled Solo
The tour hosts (Lola and Tonka) and ship’s crew were fantastic! We were fortunate to be traveling with a great group of people and had a fabulous time. The chef did a great job on the meals and the boat had nice touches such as hairdryers in each room.
- Anne, 02/06/2025 11:30, Travelled with Family
We loved our adventure aboard the Salve di Mare and the time spent with new friends. The other passengers were easy to connect with and lots of fun. The crew worked seamlessly to keep the ship sparkling, anticipated our needs, and made everything look effortless and natural. Together they created a fun and relaxed environment. Tour manager Ioana was enthusiastic and upbeat. She ensured we understood the logistics for upcoming activities and provided alternatives for those who needed to skip a hike. Hike leader Mate shared his knowledge about Croatian culture and Island history. As an experienced local hiking guide with a background in Search and Rescue, we knew we were in good hands as he led us to beautiful vistas and interesting historic locations. Sail Croatia was informed of my food allergies in advance. The chef provided creative alternatives and the waitstaff made sure I received the right items. The entire cruise was top notch due to the exceptional staff!
- Aaron & Alice, 02/06/2025 02:25, Travelled with Family
I can't say enough about what a great trip this was! We were lucky to have just 8 people on the ship since it was early in the season. We all bonded immediately and had lots of fun and laughs (and are all still in touch). The highlight of our trip was our amazing hike guide, Andro, who led us on spectacular hikes and offered interesting information about the history and natural wonders of Croatia and each area where we hiked. I also have to give a shout out to Andrej, our delightful bartender/waiter, as well as the chef, captain, and two sailors. The hikes were challenging at times but definitely doable, and the reward was the incredible scenery of Croatia at every turn. I also really enjoyed out village lunch on Korcula. All in all, a really wonderful time in a truly beautiful country.

The most amazing week on-board Tuna. Ceili was an awesome tour guide - engaging with the group and showing us the best of Croatia; as well as giving us the necessary history and keeping us on-time. The captain took us to the most beautiful swim stops and Leo was fabulous behind the bar mixing up cocktails!! Toper was always quick to assist when needed and Maren made up tasty meals. We had a great group too and nobody was left out. A week that I won't forget anytime soon and will hopefully be back in the next few years!! Thank you Ceili and crew for making the week extra speical :)

I was on Mlini with Nour as my tour guide - I could not have asked for better. Bad weather meant our plans changed but Nour was great at communicating this to us and providing us with alternative plans. Additionally, at every single place we went to, Nour had information, activities and restaurant recommendations for us, I was never left wondering what to do. A huge thank you to Nour and the Mlini crew for a fantastic week!

This was a trip of a lifetime for our family and was beyond our expectations. The Morpheus was an amazing vessel with plenty of room. What really made the trip was the crew. Kristijan, our skipper, was fantastic. He took great care of us and the boat. He provided an exciting itinerary with a great route, along with suggestions of sights to see, Kristijan also arranged amazing meals and excursions, which allowed us to experience a more local side of the islands we visited. He personalized our experience and was a very fun and knowledgeable. Dora, our hostess, was the icing on the cake. She took such great care of us on this trip. Our meals were beyond expectations, often even better than the great meals we ate at restaurants on the islands. She made sure we had plenty of everything we wanted....snacks, cocktails, you name it. Dora also offered many great suggestions that helped enhance the island experiences! Dream boat and dream team.

Sail Croatia was hands-down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had – but what truly made it unforgettable was our host, Nouraia, and the phenomenal crew on board. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Nouraia made us feel completely welcome, cared for, and hyped for the week ahead. Her energy was infectious, her organisation flawless, and her ability to bring the whole group together made it feel like one big floating family. The entire crew was next-level amazing – the captain, chef, and deckhands all went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was incredible (seriously, every meal was a highlight), the boat was spotless, and every little detail felt thought-through and intentional. The friendships that we made really stood out. There laughs, the late-night chats, the curated stops, the photos, and just the way everyone genuinely cared about one another. Would love to experience it all again with the same crew! Great stuff!
- Shayan, 29/05/2025 17:18, Travelled Solo
I add a great time every one on our boat got along very well Noura was an amazing guide she would always tell us everything there is to know, was inviting us to join her when she would do thing on her own like going to a wine tasting spot witch was great and she really helped me out when I add problems getting cash out to pay my tab. The food was amazing, the service offered by Mateo was on point he was fast and the drinks were good. Overall I add an amazing experience, mostly because of the crew I was with and the staff :)))
- Frederique , 29/05/2025 13:05, Travelled Solo
I had the most amazing time on the navigator cruise. Nouraïa was the most amazing tour guide.

The whole crew on Mlini were amazing and very welcoming!

Great tour of several islands and good activities. Not pressured to do anything you don’t want. Would defo recommend the en-suite boat. The captain, chefs and others were very friendly! Jonny and Marin were excellent and very informative and helpful. Had an issue with my foot and they were very understandable and kept checking I was ok. Would defo recommend but maybe come when you are guaranteed good weather as you can get rough seas! Would do again but on a larger boat. Thanks guys!

This was such a fun, relaxing and memorable time and Marin & Johnny as well as the rest of the crew worked so hard to make it easy and smooth for us every day of the week.

Everything was near perfection. The Sail Croatia Reps, Mila and Lola were fantastic, knowledgeable, knew how to keep things moving with grace and good does of humor. The Cabin Crew and Deck Crew were super friendly and acted with concern as a was recovering from a bout of food poisoning (not Sail Croatia's or the Emanuel's Fault). Fellow passengers were super friendly and everyone got along well. Suggestions: 1: Cabins are a bit Spartan and could use a design refreshment 2: Make hiking poles available (I could not bring mine due to carry-on luggage rules) 3: Serve lunch after the hikes

The small cruise experience was wonderful. We went into small ports that large cruise ships could not go and were able to explore many more fabulous destinations. The food on the ship was plentiful and top notch. The hiking tour was a good mixture of easy walks and challenging hikes. Our guides were well informed and a pleasure to spend time with. My only constructive feedback would be to better describe the terrain and required fitness level for some of the hikes because I feel they were too challenging for a few of our companions and it required that the more able hikers were spending their time assisting rather than enjoying the hike. Thank you for a fabulous vacation!!
- Joy, 27/05/2025 06:15, Travelled with Family
Mila and Lola were great leaders and assistants. They went out of their way to regain my lost suitcase. Their planning, enthusiasm, knowledge and sense of humour made this first solo trip special. Our servers/ assistants were helpful and caring. All team members were respectful, and went out of their way to make sure that all sailors were happy. The hikes were challenging but so satisfying to know that I met the challenge Amazing trip and I’m recommending others to go! Thanks to all!

I did the navigator en-suite cruise on kapetan jure boat and it was quite literally the time of my life. There was a good mix of solo travelers and groups and everyone was so fun and kind. The crew was truly phenomenal. They were so accommodating and understanding and helpful. The food was so so good I came in with low expectations and was blown away by lunch everyday! A special shoutout and thank you to Marin our fearless leader! He was so amazing and honest with us about what we would enjoy and what we wouldn’t. He handle course changes with grace and always made sure we were all okay and having fun! I trust that man with my life! I’m leaving with only the very best memories and lots of new friends!!
