Sail/Bike Croatia exceeded all my expectations. My cabin on deck level was perfect - the food was plentiful and delicious. Every day of the bike riding was varied -pleasurable and challenging.. Wow, what a fabulous group of new friends made x

We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.

Sail Croatia made our week of cycling and sailing the Croatian islands amazing. The staff were great and our fellow travellers were all very easy to travel with fun to get to know . They were organized and the food was terrific. I was worried I wasn’t fit enough but I did well on the bikes.

My entire family loved cruising from one beautiful Croatian island to the next and touring around each stop on e-bikes. We got to see much more of each island than if we had hiked or just stayed overnight in each port town/city. The crew & guides are lovely people: professional, friendly & kind. Matilda & Sardan are also skilled bike riders who were patient & accommodated all the varied skill levels. They were knowledgable about each stop, offering wonderful suggestions for dining & site-seeing while on our own to explore. We met wonderful new friends and enjoyed traveling with every single person on our boat. This trip was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish - I can't recommend it enough! My family and I are still stunned at the many incredible views we biked to and the fun of having an active vacation and meeting great people while enjoying wonderful food and wine and exploring so much of beautiful Croatia. We are SO glad we went on this unforgettable adventure!

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.

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!

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!

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 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
Great and plentiful food, great bike trips were carefully planned for our interest and safety.. Staff was receptive and helpful throughout the trip. The islands visited were magnificent visually and people were friendly and helpful. Learning the history added to the trip as well.
- Stephanie Battjer , 27/05/2025 11:43, Travelled with Family
I found the trip incredibly well organised, good back up plans in place when the weather was not as planned, whilst still feeling very relaxed and enjoyable. Excellent island stops, incredibly scenery/views and great bike rides on well maintained bikes.
- Debbie, 27/05/2025 07:39, Travelled with Family
Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!

- Krista, 14/05/2025 11:11, Travelled with Family
My third time with sail Croatia. Best boat. Best crew. Best guides, and by far the best FOOD. The cook was so much better than the other ships I was on. Big compliments to the chef!!! Well done.
- Karre, 06/05/2025 16:00, Travelled with Family
What a fantastic time we had, not being a cyclist riding the EBikes was the best thing. We were able to take in all the views that each day gave us. Our cycle guides Josko and Ann were simply the best. Loved the tales we were told at many stops. Thank you also to our crew, Ben our waiter was amazing one person to look after 29 of us. We will be back

Tour guides Tonka and Anita made this the best tour I’ve ever been on. They truly care about making it the Magical experience it was. My daughter and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this biking tour to anyone. Thank you for the memories!! Susan
- Susan, 05/05/2025 12:57, Travelled with Family
The crew went to great lengths daily to address any questions or concerns. The food was great and if you liked your morning eggs other than was offered, the cook took orders. The cycling staff was very attentive to your safety and to each person physically being able to do days planned route. All in all great service for an affordable price.
- Jim, 28/04/2025 09:55, Travelled with Family
The boat was handsome and comfortable. The food was delicious. The crew was responsive and funny and kind. And the islands were a sight to behold.

Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.
- Brendan, 15/10/2024 19:15, Travelled with Family
The crew was fantastic, the people that were guests were amazing, and the planning that went into making it all happen was incredible! We felt that the tour was very thoughtful and it made the most of what the weather and the islands had to offer. We have done the Sail Croatia tour once before seven years previous to this trip. We felt just as good about it and that is why we returned.
- Colette, 08/10/2024 15:55, Travelled with Family
Brilliant format. Some exercise, great scenery and hospitality from the Croatians. Good food on-board and in the towns. Lovely friendly and interesting other guests/passengers. Excellent crew and travel guides.
- Alistair, 02/10/2024 16:29, Travelled with Family
We traveled with family and friends - everyone had a connection to at least one other person and my sister - the organizer - had done a cruise on the Mali Ante the year before, so certainly all of that familiarity contributed, but the trip was just a wonderful combination of exercise, relaxation, wonderful people, perfect weather and idyllic destinations. I don't remember ever being that relaxed and content.
- Debbie, 30/09/2024 18:12, Travelled with Family
The staff MADE the trip! Ivica, Andro, and Andres were wonderful. I will certainly ask to be on their boat when we book again😍

Bartul and Miranda were the best guides! They did a great job discussing the history and culture of the areas we were biking through. They were charismatic, patient, fun and genuinely interested in everyone on the ship. The presentations of the upcoming bike rides were informative and prepared us well for the difficulty of each ride. Bartul and Miranda went above and beyond to make our vacation amazing!
- Zach, 09/09/2024 17:02, Travelled with Family
The itinerary, staff, accommodation and food were all great. The staff were very helpful and accommodating my gluten free diet. Visiting 4 islands was great. The option to have ebikes was good - especially in the heat. The organising of the sailing, where we stopped and the routes we covered on the bikes - were all very well planned out and explained to us every day in detail. The staff were very friendly. Had a fab holiday. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia
- HEATHER, 02/09/2024 10:38, Travelled with Family
From a click on google to a fabulous experience. Combining cycling with a cruise gives you the best of both. Explore the islands on bicycles allows you to see so much more of what a Croatia has to offer. The vessel, guides, crew and food were all excellent
- Kitty, 02/09/2024 08:12, Travelled with Family
We are usually very independent travelers. It was wonderful to have someone else do all the planning! It was a perfect way to vacation, meet other travelers, and enjoy everyday. Karolina & Ilona are the dynamic duo! A+ and a gold star!

This was our first cycling trip and everything went smoothly. The ship was clean, the crew professional, and the bikes were excellent Our guides were outstanding. Mila and Marija were not just cycling guides but historians and helpful in every way. We were a group of 32 older folks, 50+ in age and they were able educate us, motivate us when we saw those big hills and narrow winding roads. They offered good suggestions for cafes, little known pieces of information about the villages and kept us all happy and safe. Highly recommend this route too as we got to see the most amazing scenery along the coast.
- Geramy, 24/06/2024 05:51, Travelled with Family
The ability to see the Islands of Croatia by boat and bike was great. The people are honest, hardworking and wonderful. The boat crew and cycle leaders did a great job even though this was a larger group. The conversations with the other travelers were informative and educational!! It was an awesome experience!!
- John, 17/06/2024 10:47, Travelled with Family
Croatia is beautiful,, the guides were great and the boat was very clean. Food was good and there’s plenty of it!! Don’t be put off by the slightly cheaper rooms below deck. They have better sound proofing as some of the ports can be quite noisy.. There was a concert one night on the pier and I didn’t hear it in my cabin. Pack light as there’s not much storage. The cabins below deck could benefit from some extra hooks and shelves. A fantastic trip overall.
- Lesley , 10/06/2024 07:56, Travelled with Family
Everything. The guides were terrific, the accommodations excellent and the food fantastic.. great rides, beautiful scenery, wonderful restaurants; everything we could ask for. A special shout out to Miranda and Ivcia; the captain. And crew, especially Mario.

Our Boat, Emanuel, was a top notch boat. It is an older boat that was beautifully restored and had a great crew and Captain. I loved that it was a family run boat and there was a lot of pride in taking are of it. Emanuel was spotless, had a hard working, friendly crew and timely wonderful meals. Our guides were spectacular and very attentive. I loved riding my e-bike daily through the beautiful islands of the Adriatic Sea. Our guide was very clear each day about the length and difficulty of the rides. I felt so comfortable that it was hard to leave. All in all, it was one of my favorite trips. Thank you Emanual!!
- Adrienne, 27/05/2024 15:40, Travelled with Family
The daily cycling routes through the beautiful Croatian islands and countrysides were incredible. Sailing to each island was a relaxing and wonderful experience. Our guides Karolina and Mila worked well with each other.. Karolina outlined our day efficiently and handled any issues or changes in the schedule with a sense of calmness and grace. Mila was passionate about sharing her wealth of information with the group. She has motivated me to research more about Croatia’s history when I get home. The crew on the boat were attentive and kept us comfortable and safe. Thank you SailCroatia for a memorable trip with our siblings.
- Lorna, 27/05/2024 11:34, Travelled with Family
The weather was beautiful and perfect for cycling. Meeting so many amazing and interesting people (both guests and crew) made for a wonderful experience too. There is no shortage of chef prepared food both on the ship and at any of the port of calls. It is possible to gain weight on a cycling tour! Our guides Karolina and Mila are a dynamic duo! Karolina is dedicated and professional and made certain that we were safe and understood our plans for the day. Mila was a fountain of information at each stop or historical sight. All in all a fantastic trip where you will make some new friends, some of whom will be friends for life.

I'm so glad I made the decision to join the cycle cruise. It was a beautiful experience in many ways: so many incredible views of turquoise water, olive orchards and terracotta villages... rewarding and well-planned cycle routes... lovely company along the way... delicious meals... and our comfortable boat home for the week. The full team hosting us was so well organised and friendly. I have no complaints and only a big smile when I think back on the experience.

This was a trip of a live time! I selected this trip to celebrate my 60th birthday because I love to cycle. There were a couple of challenging rides with stunning views, so I'm glad I selected an e-bike. The crew and staff were outstanding. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. This was a great way to experience Croatia.

My husband, siblings and I went on a sailing biking cruise to celebrate. We all bike ride at different riding abilities, and, prior to the trip, some of us were wondering about whether or not we could keep up with our fittest siblings and their spouses. Happy to say that with the option of riding the e-bikes, we all did well! Having a bike ride every day kept me feeling healthy during my vacation. The ship food was good, their coffee, excellent, and I liked not having to spend an additional 30 Euros to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch each day. During the cocktail and dinner hour, we were able to explore the villages and try the local food which was delicious! In terms of learning about a new part of the world, I had never considered visiting a country by bike. After riding through the small Croatian villages and mountains and having leisure time to explore the port towns and cities, I feel I know Croatia more intimately than I do other places I have visited!

Cycling over the islands and sailing between is an incredible way to experience the unique and stunning beauty of such a fascinating country. From the guides, to the boat, to the food and the cycling routes, this tour was spectacular!

Beautiful biking routes through historic villages, olive groves, and pastural hillsides, to amazing viewpoints. Gorgeous views of the Adriatic Sea with its azure blue water, cliffs, and sea life. Lovely beaches, cafes, art exhibitions, wine tasing, and amazing meals both onboard, and in the towns. Outstanding service from the crew, the guides, and the island hosts. The comraderie of the cyclists was a highlight. So much fun! Probably one of our best holidays ever.

This is an excellent way to see Croatia. We enjoyed a stunning boat that catered to our every want/need. The crew was exceptional, food spectacular and the accomodations were excellent. The entire crew was focused on making this a memorable crusie along with the opportunity to see so many sights and experience what Croatia has to offer. The biking tour was excellent. As an avid cyclist you can get to experience some new challenges with incredible scenery. The small number of people on board made it easy to make friends from all parts of the world. We met so many wonderful people and made some lifelong friends along the way.
