A bit different to our usual Motorcycle Holidays.

Our unforgettable holiday on the Salve Di Mare has come to an end, we’ve met some wonderful people and discovered beautiful, captivating places, lots of swim stops with an opportunity to leap into the sea. We’ve been spoilt with exceptional service fantastic food and not having to plan the next days adventure. Our tour rep Vic was on hand every morning to give us the low down of what to expect for the day ahead with informative and useful tips for making the most out of each stop. Great value, fantastic scenery lovely people super ship. Thank you all for giving us a wonderful holiday and faultless hospitality. Till the next time, happy sailing. Dave & Sonia Lundy

Fabulous Salve Di Mare

Our time aboard Salve Di Mare far exceeded all we hoped for. Meeting lovely folk & enjoying their company whilst sailing the Croatian Islands. Every day a new destination with recommendations for activities & places to eat. Swim stops every day were great fun & being able to use the kayaks & SUPs a bonus! Our rep Vicko was the best! Professional, friendly, humorous, knowledgeable & attentive to all questions. All the staff/crew were excellent. They all worked tirelessly with a smile for everyone! The food was excellent ~ no complaints what so ever. We would like to thank you all & would not hesitate to recommend this cruise!

Amazing

Not enough stars for the crew on the Almissa yoga cruise. The welcoming from the first day til the sad last day! Dora- our breath of fresh air. Goes above and beyond. Whatever you needed she was there. Chefs- I have never ate so well on a holiday. Still want the recipes! Deckhands- so funny and handle the boat and tinder expertly. Cezar and Kafka - Bartenders/Maid /servers- we kept you guys very busy and you were top notch! Captain Josef- great honor to sail with him. He is a master of his craft. Would highly recommend sailing with this crew and boat! Going to miss all the fun with yoga, swimming holes, hikes and wine tasting/dinner. Thank you for a truly wonderful and unforgettable holiday!

Simply the best!

Everything about this trip was fantastic. From the smiling crew (Hana, Nenad, Tino, Charlie & Joy) to the other guests, everyone was so enjoyable and friendly. Hana's recommendations were always helpful and interesting. We learned a lot and had a relaxing and active trip. Daily swim stop was a highlight!

Great experience

Great experience! Ship was nice and recently remodeled. Being on the ship felt like being at home with the hospitable crew (tour guide Marin, waitors Ivana & Neno, cleaner Joy, sailors Charlie and Tino, Kristijana boat manager, Captain Slavko& chefs Bane and Marko) The size of the group was perfect and felt intimate. Swimming off the dock into the ocean was a highlight. The meals were luxurious. Tour guide had a wealth of knowledge.

Tempe

Overall wonderful way to see Coastal Croatia and would definitely recommend. Mario was our tour guide and he was amazing, really helpful and kind. The crew were great. The boat itself was outdated but nothing that affected our holiday. Food was good overall. Great itinerary and overall we had a lot of fun. Couple days towards the end felt a little rushed. Even earlier breakfast and very short swim stop to get to islands which there was nothing to do on. Would have appreciated better and longer swim stops on those. Customer service was great helping answer questions and booking. Overall definitely recommend the cruise.

Great trip

We had a great family trip on our Explorer cruise. It was a good amount of scheduled activities and also free time to relax. The Croatian islands are beautiful and fun to explore. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for sure!

THE experience !

Absolutely everything about this trip was amazing. Vicko and the entire crew made us feel like home, they cared about everyone and every single detail. We travel continuously and to different destinations, this trip is the only one we will repeat! It is that incredible. Thank you again to the crew of Salve di mare and Vicko ! Friends for ever

60th Birthday Celebrations

Sail Croatia was a trip of a lifetime in many respects thanks to our fabulous crew who went above and beyond to make us feel special!

Excellent Trip: Split to Dubrovnik - Great meals, boat and staff!

We had an excellent time aboard the Contessa on our 7 day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. We were impressed by the spaciousness of the cabins, the high level of finishes of the boat, the excellent meals, the cordial staff, and to make things better, all the other passengers were delightful as well. Kudos to the entire team: Marin (the tour manager), jovana and neno (bartenders), bane and marko (chefs), charlie and tino (sailors), joy (housekeeping), kristijana (boat manager) and above all, captain slavko! highly recommend and hope to sail with sail croatia in the future!

An Unforgettable Family Trip Aboard the Contessa!

Our family of eight had an absolutely incredible experience aboard the Contessa. The beautiful Croatian destinations, swimming stops and excursions were unforgettable, but it was the amazing crew who truly made our trip so special. Marin, our tour guide, was outstanding- knowledgeable, organized, fun and always willing to help. Captain Slavko, boat manager Kristijana, sailors Charlie and Tino, along with Ivana, Neno, Joy and the wonderful chefs, went above and beyond for our entire family. Their kindness, attention to detail and excellent service made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the cruise. The meals were delicious, the boat was beautiful and every part of the trip was thoughtfully planned. We made priceless family memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you to Sail Croatia and the entire Contessa crew for giving our family the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend this cruise!

Perfect holiday! Marin our cruise manager was absolutely amazing. So many fun well organized activities. Chefs and bartenders were also fantastic. Food was always delicious. Just the best vacation ever! I would go back tomorrow!!

Best Family Vacation Ever !

From start to finish our family vacation exceeded our expectations. From the logistics, the amazing ship and even more amazing crew, we are grateful for our family time together. Thank you Sail Croatia for everything you did for all of us. (and our co-passengers we not too shabby either - great memories)

Pomalo — Trust the Crew & Enjoy the Ride

I knew this trip would be once-in-a-lifetime, but the Contessa crew exceeded every expectation! My family had so much to celebrate—my parents renewed their vows, I got engaged, and I celebrated 20 years cancer-free. As someone who normally travels with a detailed itinerary and spreadsheet, this was the first time I truly let go and went pomalo—and I’m so glad I did. In just 7 days, strangers from Canada, Australia, Norway, and the USA became friends. That says everything about the incredible atmosphere this crew created. A huge thank you to Marin for his hospitality, local knowledge, humor, and always keeping us safe and taken care of. Neno & Ivana made the boat drinks unforgettable! Joy kept my room spotless and cozy, while Bane & Marko served food worthy of a five-star restaurant. And thank you to Tino, Charlie, Captain Slavko & Kristijana for everything you did behind the scenes. I’m already looking through photos with serious holiday blues. Thank you, Contessa crew!

Relaxing And Adventurous

Fabulous holiday that provided you lots of adventure without you having to plan anything. Amazing crew and top notch food daily. By the end of the week you’ll have met many new acquaintances. Lots of daily fun facts about each island you visit. My favourite was the daily water stops where you were able to get off boat and swim in the crystal clear sea. What better way to explore beautiful Croatia than Sail Almissa!

- Marylyn, 24/08/2026 11:06, Travelled with Family

Wow what a trip!

It was over and above all our expectations . . . a truly unique experience where we met a lot of lovely people from all over the world. The staff were amazing too. Vicko was so informative delivering just the right amount of information about all our stops and with great humour. The staff anticipated what we needed at any particular time. Food provided was of an exemplary standard. Swim stops and excursion destinations were all fabulous even though we had been in Croatia several times before the country and its islands keep on giving us new delights. It is a true gem of a place. We couldn't have wished for more.

- Magdalene, 24/08/2026 08:11, Travelled with Family

Amazing Experience

Our holiday was truly amazing. We decided to travel on the Salve di Mare boat. It was absolutely beautiful. The boat and cabins were extremely clean and well kept. The crew was amazing. Our captain and crew were top notch! They were extremely helpful and made sure all of our needs were met at all times. We were treated extremely well. The holiday is certainly one we will remember forever and we will for sure travel with the Salve di mare again. Aldo, our Sail Croatia tour director, Hana, was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She made sure we had everything we needed to experience Croatia and she went above and beyond!

Croatian Adventures from Dubrovnik to Split

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

Service + Sea = Laughter, Fun & Desire to Stow Away

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

- Carla, 21/08/2026 07:31, Travelled with Family

Amazing Experience

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

John and Deb

We enjoyed our trip tremendously. We have never been on a cruise. This is the best way to give a cruise a try. It’s a smaller cruise boat with only a handful of people and crew. Great bar with attentive staff. No disco and thousands of people swarmed by a pool. The food was very good. It was the perfect balance of action, adventure, sightseeing and relaxation. The private swim coves were one of our favorite parts of the day. Our coordinator Klara was amazing. I know it’s her job to be friendly but I truly felt like she really enjoyed our group and wanted to hang out with us. I definitely recommend Sail Croatia. We may even try their Greek Island tour…only if Klara is the coordinator.

- Deborah Rogers, 19/08/2026 13:57, Travelled with Family

Perfect family holiday

We were blown away by the end to end experience w/ Sail Croatia— thoughtful stops, daily swimming, excursions + dining reservations made in advance on your behalf. We are busy working parents juggling robust school + sports schedules. Once we got onboard we left all the logistics, planning, navigating to Sail Croatia and were able to miss many of the crowds commonly found across Croatia in August. Our tour manager Hana is an ace at her job and brought in enough history / cultural overview to keep the teenagers interested. Food was beyond expectation and accommodating of allergies + preferences. Cabins were clean and well appointed. We will be re booking this holiday! 5 stars.

First time in Croatia - Great Vacation

We we're on the Queen Jelena with about 30 individuals including our family of four. Our family included a 17 year old, college student, and my wife and I. Our kids met other guests within the same age range and we all had a great time. Our tour manager Vicko was great and made the trip memorable. He helped us understand logistics, provided great recommendations, and made the trip engaging and fun overall. I would do it again, and would request Vicko to be our guide.

Wonderful Croatia

We had an amazing time aboard the Sail Croatia Esperanza. Island hopping was outstanding and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia to friends. Klara was an excellent and fun host and all of the crew did a very nice job during our cruise.

Fabulous time with family and new friends!

We had a blast on the Esperanza. Klara was a terrific host and guide - informative and fun! The crew was top notch. The Sail Croatia experience was perfect for visiting so many islands, all were beautiful and unique in their own way. Highly recommend !

Amazing Croatia

We had a wonderful time on Sail Croatia, we had a great host in Klara. She was well supported by the great crew on Esperanza. Amazing part of the world that is best explored on Sail Croatia. The food was excellent, beautiful blue waters for swim stops and we had a great group to enjoy it with, we highly recommend Sail Croatia

You won’t regret this!

Our group of 7 traveled with Klara on the Esperanza., Dubrovnik to Split. Wr had a wonderful time exploring Croatia! It was the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. The food was great, the staff was always friendly and accommodating and Klara was so much fun. If you’re wondering whether to book this trip: DO IT!

Wonderful Cruise

We had a great family trip on the Almissa. Hana was our guide and she was amazing. We were worried about bringing our teens with us but they LOVED it! Hana & the whole crew made sure everyone was having a good time, made reservations easy, and bent over backwards!

- Kathryn Tessmer, 17/08/2026 14:51, Travelled with Family

Incredible trip!

Croatia is so beautiful, blue waters everywhere. The captain and the crew nembers were friendly and courteous! Especially, HANA made everything so pleasant, so friendly, and was on top of any issues and resolved right away. Hana worked to make sure every guest was happy, satisfied and having a good time. I already mentioned about this cruise to people around me to consider taking this cruise. Thanks to all for letting us have an unforgettable trip!

Croatia sailing

Sailed on the Contessa. The cabin was wonderful with lots of storage. Suggest having a top sheet on beds and a shower mat as floor is slippery. Loved all of the ports and time to swim in the Adriatic! Wonderful crew. Requested an itemized bill at the end but said they don't have a printer. The food was amazing! Fresh fruit everyday, pastries, eggs etc. Lunch was bountiful! The presentation of meals was 5 star! Loved the view from the top deck and all around the ship. A small thing, but maybe a sign upon arrival posting Welcome to ...(port). The crew works very hard and the ship is immaculate. I'd highly recommend. A fantastic experience. Can't wait to recommend to my clients. Darlene

Excellent sail trip in Croatia

10/10 for Sail Croatia. This trip exceeded my families expectations. The tour manager (Hana) and crew were excellent - informative, fun and lots of attention to detail. Daily swim stops were idyllic, each island had something to offer and the ship had great amenities. Rooms were spacious, very clean and great AC. Common areas were very well kept and food was great with change up’s every day. We relaxed, had fun and truly enjoyed Croatia. Would travel with Sail Croatia again and highly recommend to others!

OMG - Cracking week - Fantastic

Myself and my wife are fortunate to have had many great weeks traveling in the past but this week with Sail Croatia was one of the best and one we will not forget. Our host Barbara was so informative and was there for us whenever we needed.. We could not ask more from her and the crew - They insured we had a great week and one that we won’t forget. We will be back and recommend highly.

Most amazing cruise ever

My wife and I had the most amazing trip through Sail Croatia. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. The people we met and friends we made will be with us always. Hana and the whole crew worked so hard, with Hana explaining everything in super detail to make sure ever excursion was perfect for us. There was nothing left out and we felt as if we were treated like family. We would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

Amazing Almissa

An amazing week! The scenery, swim stops and island visits were beautiful as was to be expected. But it was the crew that truly made this trip! Hana and the bartenders were so friendly and so much fun. The food was great also! The crew couldn’t do enough to make our trip a happy one. Highly recommend!

Amazing week sailing Croatia aboard Almissa!

We had an absolutely amazing week sailing aboard Almissa! The country is stunning, with breathtaking coastline, crystal-clear water, and beautiful towns to explore. A special thank you to the incredible crew of Almissa for being so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The food on board was exceptional—far beyond our expectations and honestly one of the highlights of the trip. A big shout-out as well to our tour manager, Josip, who was fantastic. He was fun, approachable, incredibly well organized, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a great time and knew about all the available activities and options. This was a truly memorable experience, and I would absolutely sail Croatia again—perhaps on a different route next time. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable week!

Our week on Almissa exceeded all expectations. The boat was so clean and the crew was great. The rooms had plenty of storage and the bathroom size was much larger than we expected! The meals were so tasty and as a picky eater, I truly enjoyed each one. The swim stops were definitely a highlight each day and it was a great mix of exploring local towns and relaxing in the sun. Highly recommend Almissa!

A Dream Come True…

My family lived every minute aboard Salve di Mare. Barbara and the entire crew went out of their way to ensure our vacation was the best ever. The food, the cleanliness, the friendly atmosphere made for a dream come true.

Birthday Celebration with Family

We had a great week aboard Princeza Diana. The crew were attentive and our host Ana very knowledgeable. Some great excursion options. A small group of 15 which actually made the week as we all got to know each other so well and all clicked. Highly recommend. I would say though when asked if you have dietary restrictions, if you don’t like fish or tomatoes worth saying as they are very much apart of the meals. Overall meals were good.

Take the Plunge!

If you are considering a Sail Croatia trip, take the plunge and go! We absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. (We departed Dubrovnik on July 4 and ended in Split - Explorer.) The itinerary was the perfect combination of beautiful destinations, swimming, adventure, culture, food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the incredible Adriatic coastline. What really made the trip special, though, was the experience of traveling with a small group and the dedicated crew. Of our 31 travelers, 11 were international (Scottish, British, Spanish, Australian, South African), with the rest from the US - and all were awesome humans! With Josip as our guide, and the Salve Di Mare crew caring for us all week, we enjoyed every minute with all our new friends. And the ship is perfection! The trip was well organized, while still feeling relaxed and adventurous. We came home with memories we'll never forget and friends we hope to see again. Five stars without hesitation!

Unforgettable experience of a lifetime

Our week on the Almissa was amazing. Great food, staff, rooms, common spaces and other guests. The itinerary was excellent including a variety of activities and swim spots. A truly unique and special way to experience Croatia and we have no hesitation recommending the Almissa. The Sail Croatia communication was good in the lead up to the tour. A few things to note as feedback. Make the end of tour survey anonymous to get honest and useful feedback, carrying cash is a pain now for tourists - the fact everything on the boat and the extra tours and tips are to be paid in cash is inconvenient. Towels on the ship could be replaced - they are getting a bit old. Provide tea and coffee after lunch for free. This would be a small inexpensive thing to include - many international guests like their coffee and tea in the afternoon. 3 Euros for a cup of tea is way over the top. Finally the tipping recommendation appears out of step with what the cruise cost is. Small suggestions.

One of the Best Family Vacations We've Ever Taken!

Our Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best trips of my life! My husband, our adult kids, and I all agreed it was an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful, our cabin was spacious, and it was meticulously cleaned every day. The food was outstanding, and the entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help. A special thank you to our tour manager, Dino. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations at every stop, helping us make the most of each destination. Although our itinerary changed slightly due to weather and docking conditions, it worked out perfectly. We visited Jelsa, which ended up being our favorite stop of the trip! The swim stops were absolutely spectacular, with crystal clear water and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering Sail Croatia, don't hesitate. It was an incredible experience, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

- Lara Smith, 15/07/2026 22:29, Travelled with Family

Best Vacation Ever!

Couldn’t have had a more perfect experience. Dino and crew of the Queen Jelena were just awesome! The food, views, swim stops, and accommodations were top notch. Only thing more amazing was Croatia itself - what a beautiful country and no better way to see it than aboard a Sail Croatia yacht!!

Great Holiday

We went from Split to Dubrovnik over 7 days on Esperanza with our guide Sanja. Not only were the ammenties on the boat outstanding, but the staff, food, and drinks were all 10/10. Sanja was great as well, as she gave the group detailed and informative information about the islands and activites we were doing. Life-changing trip, I want to come back next year!

Unbelievable vacation!

We traveled with two families with older teens, nine total. We had the most incredible vacation. The locations were stunning, the crew and fellow passengers were fun and engaging, and the food was imaginative and delicious (but not too crazy for our picky eaters). The Salve di Mare was a beautiful boat and the rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean. Could not have asked for a better holiday!

Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. We were on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise with our young adult daughters and this trip will always be remembered. From our cruise manager Josip, to the attentive staff & crew & captain- everyone was a 10/10. We met like minded travelers from across the world & enjoyed each day at sea and land with awesome excursions. We are so grateful for the memories. Thank you all!

Wonderful experience

We loved our time with Sail Croatia. When we booked our trip we weren’t sure what to expect. We had never taken a trip on a small boat cruise before and are not really fans of large cruise ships. But from the time we boarded till well after we got off, we completely enjoyed our experience. The crew were attentive and fun. The other passengers were a great mix of personalities. And our cruise director, Klara, kept us both informed and entertained, she even got us a reservation for 21 at Massimo Cocktail Bar on Korčula. I looked forward to the daily swim stops, always at a picture perfect beach, and each town we visited was unique and memorable. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough. We are already planning our next trip.

Sun, Salt and Scenery

You never know what to expect with 35 strangers but this mini 7 night cruise exceeded all expectations. We were warmly greeted and had ample time to mingle or do our our things. We were provided with numerous options for eating out and placed to visit at each stop. The on board food (breakfast and lunch) were plentiful and the swim stops along the way were so dreamy and refreshing during our hot week on board. The rooms were well spaced with ample storage for our 2 large and 2 small cases and the A/C kicked in well at night. Our main host Andro was exceptional and his command of the English language made everything seamless, closely followed by the diligent boat crew . We had so much fun, lots of drinks and laughs with guests and plenty of time to really unpack and unwind. I felt safe, my belongings were secure and we strongly recommend the Tempera to those looking for adventure, unique beauty but ample time to chill out.. There are a few deserving tips and taxes to factor in though.

To top it all off we had an stellar crew that treated us like family- thanks to the host Clara, the Captain, Chef and the rest of the crew- Marko, Charlie, Joy, Tino, and my 5 Star bartenders Nano and Martin! :) Also met some great new friends from around the world. Wish the trip lasted longer!!!

Great trip, excited our expectations!

We had such a great time! Boat and the crew were perfect! We sailed on the Esperanza on an explorer tour., Clean rooms very spacious and comfortable. Our tour guide Lola was absolutely awesome! Very helpful, made local calls for us to sort out what ever was needed. From breakfast to daily swim stops and then the 3 course lunch made the trip. We traveled with our kids ages 21 and 18, they loved the trip. I really had no complaints, the whole week. The other guests aboard were truly amazing and kind people from Australia, UK and the states. Just a whole lotta fun relaxing with like minded folks.

Amazing Week

We travelled on the Tempera Explorer from Dubrovnik to Split. Our guide Lauren was both professional, informative and fun from the 1st day to the last. Meals could not be faulted nor either the bar staff or chefs. We met amazing people on board sharing swim stops in exquisite blue water, daily activities such as biking, beaches, wineries, apertivo’s and dinners in the varied islands of Croatia. 10/10 experience, thank you Lauren once again.

Outstanding way to see Croatia

This was one of my best vacations and have been all different size boats. It was very relaxing atmosphere and excellent way to see Croatia. Wake up have breakfast, anchor in a bay and have a swim. While having lunch the ship travels to the next port for you to enjoy. The nice thing is you get to enjoy dinner in port and are not rushed backed to the boat as it’s there for the night. Our guide Sasa kept us informed on a daily basis on what was happening for the day and things to do and places to eat. Great job. The bar staff Marko and Vlaho were great bartenders and hard workers always ready to get you whatever drink you required great job guys. Our house keeper Julia did a great job cleaning up after all of us on the boat. Now I get down to the food cooked by our chef Bojan and sou chef Zodojka which was outstanding. The crew lead by Captain Frane and crewed by Bojan and Zodoyka did a great job getting us to were we needed to go and docking the ship even in tight situations. Great work

Amazing experience, would definitely do again!

Sail Croatia does an amazing job. We loved everything about our trip and would definitely sail with them again. Sail Croatia is an amazing value, they make everything easy, all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself. The boat was wonderful and the cabins were larger and more comfortable than I expected. The food was excellent and much more than advertised. Breakfast was varied every morning with a nice variety. Lunch was an excellent 3-course meal each day and everything was delicious. The team on board does an excellent job of making you feel relaxed and comfortable and you can tell they truly take pride in their work. Each swim stop was well thought out as far as location and each time offered a unique and beautiful location to enjoy. The boat offered plenty of space to relax and it never felt crowded or cramped. All of this and getting to spend time in a beautiful country make this something I would gladly do again. Thank you Sail Croatia!

Almissa Review

Sanja and the Almissa crew were amazing, they made mine and my brothers week fun and stress free due to their hospitality and professionalism. I would definitely recommend this sail and hope they have Sanja and the Almissa crew so they can have similar memories and just as much fun as we had on our sail!

- Andre, 22/06/2026 10:36, Travelled with Family

Perfect

The ship…beautiful. The food….superb. The stops…unforgettable. The crew…perfection! We probably won’t be able to duplicate this trip in our lifetime. It’s like the stars came together for us and we were able to create a family memory that we will tell our grandchildren. We now identify as Croatian. 😉

5 stars!

We had the best time on our Sail Croatia Explorer cruise. A huge shout out to Sanja (our guide) and Cesar and Kafka for the laughs and Grappa to start the morning with 😊. The food was amazing and there were plenty of day excursion options on each stop. Honestly it was a great family vacation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic way to see the Dalmation Coast

My wife and I had an absolute blast on the 7-day Split-to-Dubrovnik Explorer cruise on the Contessa. This was our first cruise ever, and it wildly exceeded our expectations. Every stop was a treasure in it's own way, the recently renovated ship has a modern/elegant design, the cabins were spacious, food on on-board was great, crew was fantastic and friendly, and our tour guide Lola made sure we knew all the fun activities to do, and the best places to dine. Highly recommend., 5 star experience.

Another successful trip with Sail Croatia

We finally managed to bring some of our family with us to show them how beautiful Croatia is and how good holidaying this way is. The Captain and crew were exceptionally good this year especially our chef Kole

- Colin, 15/06/2026 12:27, Travelled with Family

Friendly Crew, But the Ship Needs Improvement

The Croatian itinerary was fantastic, and the crew were friendly and hardworking throughout the trip. Unfortunately, the condition of the Mali Ante did not meet our expectations. The ship felt older and less well-maintained than many others we saw in port. The jacuzzi was out of service for most of the trip, our shower leaked, & our lower-deck cabin was extremely noisy whenever the engines started. The cabin was also very damp, leaving clothing and towels moist and causing some clothes to develop a musty odor. We also found what appeared to be mold or mildew staining on our bedding. Breakfast was limited to one hour each morning, no snacks were provided between meals, and guests could not bring their own snacks or drinks onboard. Drinks were expensive, and the bar tab had to be paid in cash. Considering the ship’s condition and limited amenities, the suggested gratuities felt excessive. While Croatia was beautiful, the overall experience did not provide the value we expected.

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-06-16:

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and found the crew aboard your ship to be friendly and hardworking. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to them. Mali Ante is a highly rated ship within our fleet, so we are sorry to hear that certain aspects of your onboard experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We offer a variety of vessels within our Explorer Cruise range to cater to different travel styles and budgets, allowing guests to select the ship that best suits their preferences. We have a thorough process in place for communicating and resolving issues during the cruise. Having reviewed our internal records, I can see that the concerns outlined in your review were not raised with the onboard representative during your trip. Had we been made aware of these issues at the time, our team would have done their best to investigate and address them while you were onboard to ensure you were satisfied with the outcome. As outlined in our pre-departure documentation and guest App, tipping is entirely optional. The crew onboard our ships are paid fairly for their work; however, gratuities are a widely recognised way for guests to acknowledge exceptional service. Many guests choose to leave a tip as a gesture of appreciation, however this is always at each individual's discretion. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

100% recommend, best week ever!

Our week on the Sail Croatia Explorer aboard Almissa far exceeded our expectations. Lauren and the crew were amazing, and everything ran so smoothly. The swim stops were beautiful, and the food was always delicious. A special thank you to Bobby and Marko for catering so well to gluten-free dietary requirements - we never felt like we were missing out. A huge shoutout to Ceaser and Kafka for the fun nights, great music, and always bringing the good vibes. The week truly had something for everyone, whether you wanted a social night out or an early night in (or both, like us!). What really made the trip special was the group of guests. There was such a fun mix of people and ages (we're in our mid-20s), and by the end of the week, it felt like one big happy family. We’ve left Almissa with incredible memories and couldn't recommend this experience highly enough.

- Sophia & Mia, 13/06/2026 16:32, Travelled with Family

So Much Fun!!

We scheduled our Sail Croatia trip hoping for a Family Adventure and it was SO MUCH MORE than we had even hoped! Croatia was beautiful! Waking up every morning on the Almissa to a new swim spot was epic and the excursions were fantastic! But Without a doubt, the best part was the people…the crew and the 32 new friends that we will never forget! Lauren, our host, was fantastic! She made every excursion seamless, and her brief history of each destination befire our arrival was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Thank you to Kavka and Ceasar for keeping our drinks full and keeping us laughing! ! To Marko and Bobby for the fabulous food and sensitivity to a dairy allergy. To Geo and Chapo for making sure we were safely docked, and ready for our daily swims. And to Captain Joseph for manning the helm safely! And to all of our new friends who started out as shipmates and ended as friends! What an adventure to remember!

Excellent cruise

Fabulous family trip with brilliant crew and fantastic cruise director. The 7 days we spent with Sail Croatia on an Explorer cruise on the beautiful Contessa is an experience I will long remember. Anita, our cruise director kept us updated every day and was super helpful with any request we had. Thank you Anita- your knowledge of our destinations, recommendations and patience was outstanding. Bar staff, Nino and Martin were good fun and always keen to help. Thanks for the card game lesson! The rest of the crew were also helpful and responsive to any requests- food was consistently very good and catered for our meal preferences. Great tour options at each location. Looking forward to an opportunity to travel with Sail Croatia again. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot think of a better way to see the coast of Croatia. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve di Mare.

Simply the Best ! Salve Di Mare - you beautiful boat!

OMG… this trip was AMAZING! I found Sail Croatia on Google, from my very first enquiry right through to the very last day stepping off the boat, the communication & service were exceptional. My sister & I travelled from Split to Dubrovnik Day 1 unfortunately greeted us with rain, however the crew lifted everyone’s spirits with a welcome drink onboard, cosy blankets & warm hospitality all around. The crew were absolutely incredible, honestly cannot fault any one of them. They all worked so well together as a team. Nikos, the best! He kept us updated daily through both the group chat & verbal briefings, always making sure everyone knew the plans, timings & options available. knowledge of Croatian history & he delivered everything with humour & personality. Captain Frane constantly amazed watching him manoeuvre the boat into each port with such skill. Marco & Vlaho were both hilarious, friendly & absolute joy to see every single day. Julija looked after us/cabins exceptionally. Food Yum!

Fantastic May trip to Croatia

Our trip through the Croatia islands with Calum aboard Tempura was fun and educational. The trip was from Split to Dubrovnik visiting wonderful islands along the way. The crew was extremely hardworking and helpful. Our guide and leader for the week was Calum. If you are fortunate enough to have him as you cruise leader, know that you will have an amazing holiday. He was very knowledgeable about each stop as well as the history of each island/town we stopped in. He planned trips, dinners and events every day making the trip extra special for my wife and I!

Explorer Cruise. The blending of generations seamlessly

Sail Croatia helped make the travel process seamless from start to finish. The communication before during and after made the decision to book simple, what to do during the cruise easy and decision to rebook in the future a definite. The staff was visible hardworking and always available to assist in any way need from pouring a drink, crossing a gap or information about local culture or traditions. The cruise director Dino was the best. He not only informative and professional but also fun and engaging. He arranged activities,,helped with bookings,, transport and was there for us to resolve an unexpected inconvenience with a flat tire on a bike excursion . Whike the weather was not perfect for our cruise. Dino and the Captain worked together to avoid the difficult uncontrollable weather and locate ports with better weather and new fun activities seamlessly. This was an unforgettable experience for my daughter and I. Thank you Sail Croatia

Best cruise we've ever been on!

We cruised on the Salve di Mare and had a great experience from start to finish! Monica in Sales was my first point of contact and she was friendly, professional and always quick to respond. A pleasure to work with! The cruise itself far exceeded our expectations, primarily because of our Tour Manager, Vicko. He was outstanding!! Not only did he keep us informed about each day's itinerary and the optional excursions, he provided rich historical context and interesting trivia as well. He is a walking textbook on Croatia - but not in a stuffy professor-like way. Everyone on board absolutely loved him! Our bartenders, Marco and Vlaho, were also very service-oriented and friendly. They did an excellent job. As for the food, it was delicious! The chefs make everything on board so each dish was fresh and tasty. Passenger-wise, there were only 40 of us so we were able to get to know one another rather quickly. I suspect that many new (life long?) friendships were formed. Thanks, Sail Croatia!

- Melissa, 16/09/2025 19:21, Travelled with Family

Fantastic cruise experience!

Our experience with Sail Croatia was phenomenal! It was one of the best trips we've ever taken - offering a nice balance of relaxation on the boat and activities on the islands. It was great to have flexibility to explore on our own (using recommendations provided if we wish) or opt in to the excursions. We enjoyed that we docked in port every night so we could stay out and enjoy the island as long as we wanted. All of the staff were so welcoming, kind, and provided top notch hospitality! We also really enjoyed meeting our fellow shipmates and actually formed some deep friendships with others on the boat, which was unexpected but made the experience that much more special. We highly recommend this cruise!

- Katie, 15/09/2025 22:46, Travelled with Family

Awesome cruise

Our boat Salve Di Mare was not only the best boat in the fleet, it was staffed by the best crew, Captain Frane, Sailors Mario and Duje, Waiter Marko and Vlaho, Cheifs Arjan and Tina and last but definitely not least our Maid Monika, all 10/10 for all their duties. Now not to forget our absolute champion of a representative Vicko. The weather was a little Ordinary so they changed the route and included some extra activity activities to give a better experience, it was appreciated by all guests on the boat. Vikos knowledge about Croatia and the places we went, outstanding. The entire crew and Vicko went above and beyond. As an airline Captain in Australia, I can only hope my crew perform as Frans crew did, I know the logistics behind a smooth enjoyable experience for your guests and the teamwork required to achieve this, Frane and Vicko mastered it.

Salve di Mare

Overall, trip was fantastic. Boat was beautiful, spacious and very clean. Monica and her cleaning crew did an amazing job keeping cabins clean and linen refreshed. Like fairies because we never saw her. Vsisko was a very good leader. He was knowledgeable, had attention to detail. Enjoyed his morning 10 am debriefs and historical information. Swim stops were the true highlight of our adventure. The only negative, or, suggestion I would have is on the food. Overall, the flavors were very good. However, we all wanted a green salad every once-in-awhile. Could even make a large salad with chicken or shrimp the main course. Or, grilled vegies with the main course. Did not like the lamb chops. Chicken dish and hummus salad was delicious! Crew and staff went above an beyond to create a special wedding anniversary celebration for my husband and me. Great memories and will recommend Sail Croatia.

Absolutely amazing holiday!

We had never booked a holiday like this so was a little apprehensive on what to expect. I can honestly say it was amazing. This was such a great way to explore Croatia. We were travelling as a family with 3 young adult/ teenage boys. This type of holiday had the perfect balance of visiting some absolutely stunning destinations and activities such a cycling around a beautiful National Park and driving a buggy through a vineyard and across the island to a beautiful beach. We particularly enjoyed our morning swim stop in beautiful locations were you could take a leisurely swim or paddle board and some snorkelling. Our boat was beautiful ( Queen Jelena) met some great people and the staff could not have done more for us - thank you Nikos and team. Would totally recommend this holiday - you will not be disappointed!

Tempera August 2025

Such an easy and efficient way to see coastal Croatia. You meet lots of others on the boat, however there is plenty of time and opportunity to be by yourselves as well. The excursions are really worthwhile - we particularly enjoyed the bike ride in Mijet National Park. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I picked the below deck cabin as I was told it was quieter, however I would recommend an above deck cabin if you can. Could not fault anything with Sail Croatia and would highly recommend.

Travelled with my husband and daughters 22 & 20yrs old. Just back from a week sailing on Princeza Diana Explorer cruise, from start to finish booking and communication was stress free with Sail Croatia. The boat was lovely and clean, food was delicious. The crew members were very polite and welcoming. Our hostess was Ioana she was so much fun and very knowledgable and worked hard to organise lots of activities for us. Our fellow ship mates were just the best we had so much fun, lots of sight seeing dancing and laughing. I can’t recommend this cruise enough definitely one of our best family holidays so far Thankyou Sail Croatia.

What made Sail Croatia so terrific was the personalized and thoughtful care each member of the crew extended towards our well-being and peace of mind. They were generous with their time, warm and approachable, and professional in every way. They communicated well and informed us in advance of any changes in plans. They articulated the history and cultural dynamics of each region clearly (Ivana!); they served us extraordinary food; they guided the boated, docked and facilitated our comings and goings with utmost grace. Everything was clean, well organized and reasonable cost-wise. I highly recommend this way of seeing Croatia!

Sail Croatia was AMAXZING!

I took my 19 year old daughter on the Esperanza Explorer cruise and it exceeded my expectations by far. The ship was beautiful, the rooms spacious, the staff fantastic and knowledgeable and the itinerary was perfect. We met a huge variety of people and had a chance to connect and make new friends due to the intimate size of the cruise. Sailing to a new swim spot each morning was the BEST way to start the day, Follow that with a superb lunch and just the right amount of education on the next ports history and things to do and then we were off to explore, wine taste, kayak, hike, shop or just hang at the beach. I think this is the best way to see some of the amazing smaller islands of Croatia with the comfort of not packing and unpacking. Highly recommend Sail Croatia.

Regarding the food, Inow realize I should have been a little more specific on my preferences, as a vegetarian. Very heavy on the carbohydrates including bread and pasta, which we had for lunch several days. I would love salads and fresh vegetables/greens with meals. All in all this trip was fantastic. So pleased with the experience, and would definitely consider doing it again.

Great Experience

I have done many cruises, this was by far one of the best. The crew and our Tour director Dino made it very enjoyable. Dino was extremely organized in setting up each stop and excursions. Was very informative regarding dinner and even went a step above making reservations. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

An Unforgettable Croatian Adventure on the Tempera

My sister and I had an incredible trip on the Tempera from August 2-9, 2025, exploring Sale, Croatia. The experience was truly stellar, thanks to the phenomenal crew and captain. They created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that felt like a floating home. Our tour guide, Vicko, was a highlight. His knowledge brought Croatia's history and culture to life. With just 25 guests, the intimate setting fostered quick friendships for all aboard. We shared meals, laughs, and adventures, making lasting connections. This trip perfectly blended relaxation and adventure! We loved every moment and highly recommend this unique cruise to anyone seeking a memorable Croatian experience. A huge thank you to the crew and especially Vicko for a trip of a lifetime!

We had a fabulous time on Salve de Mare! The crew were fabulous and our tour manager Lola was excellent. Everything about our week was wonderful and would 100% recommend to others!

A superb way to take in Croatia

A great experience and really friendly/personable crew. Really helpful to get the most out of the sail experience over the 7 days. Highly recommend sail-Croatia as a vacation.

- Kerry, 11/08/2025 08:09, Travelled with Family

Sail Croatia was awesome & would go again!

The whole experience was fantastic! The crew, our group, the food , excursions were fabulous. I thoroughly recommend this 7 day sail from Split to Dubrovnik. Personally it would have been better to do Split to Dubrovnik instead especially if you need to get to other countries.

- Debbie, 11/08/2025 05:24, Travelled with Family

Unique experience - insightful but relaxing

The small boat experience is special. You get to know people from around the world. The small crew gets to know people and they take care of things a simple as I don't like mushrooms (so the day they had mushroom soup, I got pumpkin soup). The tour director, Dino, was very knowledgeable and that helped us get the most out of each port.

- Corey, 11/08/2025 00:38, Travelled with Family

Fantastic trip!

Wonderful week on the Princeza Diana! Thank you Ana and the crew! The swim stops were so refreshing and cool, the boat was perfectly comfortable and the cities were absolutely beautiful! Perfect way to see the Dalmatian Coast. Next time, the bike tour!

The best week on board of Salve di mare

We had another unforgettable week on Salve di mare. We did the same trip last year and loved it so much we came back this year. Salve di mare is an amazing boat with an even better crew. Frane, the Captain of the boat, is very experienced and took us to the best secluded swimming stops every day. His crew is a testament to his leadership as they are all amazing! Big shout out to the waiters Marko and Vlaho in the restaurant and the bar, they made our stay fun, they were always on hand for drinks and chats and an absolutely massive shout out to our chef Arijan and his sauce chef Tina. They kept us well fed. All their meals were delicious, prepared from scratch with fresh, local ingredients. Can't recommend this boat and this experience high enough. It really is the best way to see the Croatian coast. So much to do and see in absolute comfort and no packing or hustle to get to the next destination. Go! you won't regret it!

- Michaela , 30/07/2025 06:09, Travelled with Family

Even better second time round!

We have just returned from a week on Almissa, having been on the same ship 3 years previously, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about our cruise and were lucky to find a great group of like minded travellers on board who were brilliant company and very friendly. Almissa has an amazing crew, a captain who was very present and easy to chat to and hardworking, fun bar and serving staff. Klara was a fantastic guide with her humour, knowledge and helpfulness, she really made everything go seamlessly and was a lot of fun. Everyone worked hard and couldn’t do enough for us. We felt that the food was better this time than 3 years ago, so well done to the kitchen staff. We enjoyed all the beautiful towns and looked forward to the daily swim stops. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cruise and may even try another week with Sail Croatia in the future.

- Julie, 25/07/2025 19:28, Travelled with Family

A wonderful experience

From the moment we stepped on the boat to the moment we departed we received excellent care from our Tempera cruise manager Nikos and his team. Nikos and his team were warm friendly and attentive to our every need. Nikos kept us informed via the WhatsApp group chat and daily announcements and did a fantastic job of coordinating all of the fun and interesting activities. The food which included daily breakfast and lunch were delicious. I also really enjoyed the fact that it was a smaller boat with about 35 guests. We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know our lovely fellow guests from around the world and it was fun to interact with them all during the various activities that were organized on our various stops and to run into them while out and about on the islands. Another thing that I really liked was being able to visit several amazing and beautiful places in a week without needing to pack and unpack between stops. This was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

Island Hopping in Croatia - fantastic holiday

My partner and I booked onto this trip to Croatia to join family who had already booked on. We all enjoyed a fantastic holiday and had a wonderful time away. Our experience on Almissa was first class - a wonderful ship with excellent facilities, friendly and hardworking crew members, and tasty onboard meals. There is nothing we would have changed, everything was great, and we have already recommended this trip to friends as the best way to visit Croatia. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for a fabulous holiday and wonderful memories!

Week on Tempera

My adult daughter and I spent a week on Tempera enjoying every moment of our trip, from the beautiful towns and beaches to the delicious food, wonderful crew and exceptional “ organizer” Nikos! Was an amazing trip! Can’t wait to go back!

- Twyla, 22/07/2025 13:24, Travelled with Family

A dream from start to finish!

This was hands down one of the best trips we’ve taken in years. There are so many things we loved about our experience but three things single handedly took first prize. 1. Our Sail Croatia guide Vicko was BRILLIANT!! His daily pre departure talks gave us so much rich context about the places we were going that elevated each days destination and he worked tirelessly to ensure all excursions were booked ahead of time and dinner reservations were made. Vicko is THE reason we will definitely be booking with Sail Croatia again! 2. The ship and crew- beautiful clean accommodation and the most amazing, welcoming, accommodating crew! It was really cool to get to know the captain too who was so welcoming and accommodating. 3. The food was just spectacular!! We really appreciated the opportunity to try so many traditional dishes while on the boat. We also loved the wine list which allowed us to try so many different Croatian wines over the course of the trip.

- Gabriella, 22/07/2025 06:38, Travelled with Family

Great trio

The staff on the boat and our tour Guide was top notch. The food and all the great stops the boat did. We will book again soon

Sail Croatia- Tempera Boat & Family

An unforgettable way to see the Croatian Islands. The crew was incredibly kind and attentive, the three-course lunches were consistently delicious, and the passengers felt like instant friends—making every stop even more special. This trip set the bar high for future travels! x

- Stacia, 21/07/2025 12:32, Travelled with Family

Magical week on Sail Croatia - Tempera

We just returned from a week on the Tempera from Dubrovnik to Split. I cannot wait to tell all my friends in the US about Sail Croatia. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of common area space. What really made our trip special was the CREW on the Tempera. Anything we needed or requested was addressed immediately. The food was amazing and the chefs were great. The bartenders Max & Milan, were so friendly and always handled my special drink requests with a smile. Toma was great making sure we didn’t drown at the swim stops. They were all fun to talk to and went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken care of in every way. Finally Nicos our cruise director was perfection! He always gave fabulous recommendations for restaurants, excursions and also went above and beyond. He was so knowledgeable about every island and city we visited. Anything we asked him to do he did it quickly and efficiently. He is amazing at what he does! Thanks for a perfect week!

Salve di Mare Explorer 5-12 th July 25

Dino, our tour guide, was amazing!! From the start of our trip right through to our departure, he was on hand with advice and support. He was knowledgeable about each of the locations and offered salient information. The rest of the boat crew were extremely friendly but remained professional at all times. We were extremely grateful for their expertise during some rough weather! I will highly recommend this trip to my friends & family.

- Natalie, 15/07/2025 08:05, Travelled with Family

Trip of a lifetime

We had an amazing time on the Explorer Cruise with Sail Croatia. The Salve Di Mare crew were exceptional – friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel like family. Dino, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, bringing every destination to life. The excursions were varied and well-planned, with the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Can’t recommend this cruise enough – a truly memorable way to experience Croatia!

- Isabelle , 14/07/2025 07:30, Travelled with Family

Would definitely recommend

The cabins and boat were clean and comfortable and the food exceeded expectations. Captain Josef (on Almissa) always seemed calm and nimble in his decisions to give us the best cruising experiences, finding lovely sheltered swim spots. Dino was organised and a very good communicator as cruise director. There was the right mix of passengers and activities to satisfy our grown up children and ourselves. Thanks to all the crew and to Sail Croatia!

- Kate, 10/07/2025 06:40, Travelled with Family

We loved sailing the Croatian Islands with our teens. The boat was wonderful as was the staff aboard. We hope to come back in the future.

Recently travelled Split to Dubrovnik with Dino and the Almissa crew. I had the best time. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Honest advice about outings and recommendations for each stop - not to mention incredible swims along the way. We ended up one big family. 10/10 would recommend!!

Beyond My Expectations!

My Sail Croatia vacation was fabulous. Dino was our tour guide and he had excellent information for us every step of our journey. I am 75 and took my 18-yr old grandson, so he had a wide age range to cover. Bravo to Dino and the crew for making our trip such a memorable, fun time. I'm telling everyone I know to not only visit Croatia but use Sail Croatia for their travel plans. It was the best.

- Anonymous, 04/07/2025 17:53, Travelled with Family

Amazing Trip!

My family and I were on an Explorer cruise recently with Dino aboard the Princeza Diana and it was an amazing time. The crew of the ship was great, very friendly, and knowledgeable. Dino, by far, exceeded our expectations of what any tour guide could offer. He was kind, friendly, interactive, and involved in the trip and helped make so many arrangements that we wouldn't have been able to make otherwise. We had someone who needed to visit a doctor while we were abroad and Dino assisted with scheduling a time and making sure they got to the location. The locations we visited were beautiful and the food was all amazing, both on and off the ship, and the recommendations Dino gave were great. I only wish we could have visited more. One of the great thing about a cruise on a ship this size is how close you get to and connect with the other people on board who also help to make the trip that much more special.

Amazing Time and Even Better Crew!

All crewmembers were absolutely amazing! From Dino, to Karlo, to Nikola and the Captain, they were all super professional and fun!! The itinerary was spot on for what we wanted to do and I really appreciate the professionalism of our Captain. We were docked next to another Sail Croatia boat at one point whose Captain was very disrespectful to the noise ordinance times and, in turn, the other boats around them. The only recommendation I have is to add lounge chairs to the top level, not just the mats. Absolutely beautiful and we had a great time!

- Holly, 01/07/2025 01:05, Travelled with Family

Almissa is truly the best!

This is my second trip with Sail Croatia, I think that says enough on how amazing they are. Every single second was so beautiful, exciting, and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Lola, was so lovely and you can tell she wants you to enjoy your time and fall in love with not only Croatia itself but the people within it. The crew on Almissa was definitely the highlight of my trip. From the captain, to the sailors, chefs, and waiters, words cannot describe how magnificent they made this week. The food is delicious and full of flavor, the cabins feel cozy, and the boat makes you feel at home. If you can book with Almissa, I can promise you that you won’t regret it. I will be returning for a third time, specifically for the Almissa crew!!!

- Taséa, 30/06/2025 17:19, Travelled with Family

Holiday of a lifetime

I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone and everyone. It is the best way to see the country and is totally stress free. All your arrangements are looked after. Dino was an absolute superstar giving us daily updates and addressing everyone's needs. He went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fabulous time. We had the best week ever. Truly memorable.

- Emma, 30/06/2025 13:02, Travelled with Family

Adriatic Island - Explorer Cruise ☀️💪👍

The staff at Sail Croatia made us so comfortable - from immediately understanding and responding to my daughter's aversion to seafood, to accommodating some last minute changes to our plans. I'm a skittish eater, but the food - both on the ship and in the ports - was delicious and fresh. While excursions were available everyday, it was perfectly fine to enjoy the sundeck or the lounge instead. The bar onboard was a little expensive, and you can't bring your own drinks onboard, but Marko's Special is now a new favorite! Our Explorer trip was blessed with a dynamite group of passengers from around the world, and we were able to connect and all have fun together - the small group size of the ship is conducive to that. Finally, a special shout-out to Klara, our Cruise Director (who didn't get the reference to Julie on the Love Boat). Klara was knowledgeable about how the ship works, what's available to do in the ports, where the good food is, and where to find hair products and bandaids!

- Stephanie, 30/06/2025 12:17, Travelled with Family

Highly recommend for Croatia Explorers!

We were very excited about this trip and the cruise did not disappoint! All the crew members and our tour guide were extremely accommodating, helpful, and made our stay extremely pleasant. We loved the mix of downtime on the boat and time spent exploring all the port cities. We were very excited about all the excursions and did quite a number of them. I highly recommend the bike ride, the blue caves tour, and the Krka national park. The swim stops were absolutely gorgeous each day. Our entire boat became an extended family by the end of the trip. Highly recommend!

- Kari, 30/06/2025 11:24, Travelled with Family

The Ultimate Summer Holiday

My mother and I sailed on the Mali Anti this summer and had a fantastic week cruising the Adriatic from Split to Dubrovnik. The excursions were a blast, the ports were beautiful, and the crew and guide made our time on the ship fun as we made new friends with the other travelers along the way. I can't wait to return to Croatia.

Relaxing

The crew is who made the trip truly memorable. Attentive, good senses of humor and caring. Lola our cruise director was a good communicator and her suggestions for activities and places of interest added helped us get a better understanding of Croatia and the islands we visited. Can’t say enough how great Lola’s restaurant recommendations were. Not one bad meal. Swim stops were welcome respite from the days heat.

Memorable trip in a beautiful country

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.

- Juliana, 08/06/2025 13:44, Travelled with Family

More time sightseeing, less time swimming

More comfortable seating and a shaded area on the top deck More time in port - the water is cold in early May so swimming isn’t a good activity. If the ship can’t dock earlier, the option of getting a water taxi or tender to port should be an option. Excursions were over-priced

- Anonymous, 06/06/2025 03:42, Travelled with Family

Best Experience of My Life

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!

Great Family Vacation

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!

Perfect from Start to Finish

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.

- Nicole, 19/05/2025 22:11, Travelled with Family

Fantastic Way to Experience Croatia!

The intimate experience of a small ship was even better than we expected. You get to know the passengers and crew but also have time to spend on your own. The smaller ship allows for entry into smaller ports that you wouldn't get to experience on a large cruise line. Everything was great, from the cabin to the food, the swim stops, would honestly not have changed a thing. If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend that everyone enjoy the Sail Croatia experience at least once!

- Rob and Carla Moorehead, 19/05/2025 14:01, Travelled with Family

Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on Salve Di Mare – A Truly Unforgettable Experience!

Our week aboard the Salve Di Mare with Sail Croatia was nothing short of amazing! Every stop was perfectly chosen, offering the ideal balance of rich history, relaxing coastal vibes, and absolutely stunning scenery. As the first cruise of the season, it was wonderfully peaceful — the towns were quiet but still full of charm, giving us a chance to enjoy Croatia without the usual crowds. The ship itself was stunning: modern, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The crew were incredibly helpful, friendly, and truly made us feel like part of one big family. Special mention goes to our guide, Anita, who was simply next-level amazing. Her passion and deep knowledge of Croatian history made every moment memorable. She went above and beyond to ensure we experienced the very best Croatia has to offer, and by the end, it felt like we had known her forever. If you're considering this trip, my one tip would be to fly/start in Split and fly/finish out of Dubrovnik with a few nights in each.

- Chelsea, 28/04/2025 09:03, Travelled with Family

Fabulous!

Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.

Fantastic trip, Exceeded expectations

Everything just came together beautifully. Fantastic weather, a diverse interesting group of friendly really nice passengers, a warm friendly crew and fantastic host Anita. On board food was great. The timing of events, swim stops and activities each day was well, thought out and just worked. Anita did a really good job of keeping everyone updated throughout the day both personally and via a group chat including extra things to do, places to eat etc. To top it off, the boat, Salve de Mare, was fantastic, with lots of space, very clean and comfortable with everything operating as it should. Would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again!

Amazing Experience

We travelled on the Katarina from Split return. It was so much fun and the scenery spectacular. If I had to suggest one thing that is a must I would say you need to book on the Katarina. It is a family run yacht and they honestly treat you like family. It was 5 star from start to finish.

Hi Malcolm - thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you found us to be a good company to travel with. For everyone's safety, we were sorry to see that a swim stop wasn't possible due to the unusually poor weather conditions, and we understand this affected your experience. We’re pleased to see that the hostess received all 5-star reviews for your departure. Once again thank you for your feedback.

A week to remember

What a wonderful week on Tempra Explorer Cruise this week. The crew were extremely helpful and attentive. The chef was masterful in his approach to Croatian cuisine. Lovely presentations and always supremely delicious. Our Sail Croatia host Victor was such a positive influence. He is funny and very knowledgeable. Our cabin was easily large enough for 2 adults and good size bathroom and shower. Loved this cruise!

The staff were excellent, with special mention of Klara and Branco who made the cruise extra special. Klara's knowledge of the islands and history were shared to us with passion and humor and was received extremely well by the guests. The arranging of excursions was flawless and we always knew the times and booking details well in advance. Branco made sure that we were served plenty of food on board and his bar manner was second to none. The islands themselves shared their different characters, all of which were enjoyed by all. We would definitely do this again as we thoroughly enjoyed our first ever cruise provided by Sail Croatia.

Everything I Hoped for......and MORE!

The ship (Salve di Mare) was so comfortable and very well maintained. The crew were professional, friendly and fun. The meals were exceptionally well prepared and presented. Our Sail Croatia tour representative, Vicko, was so knowledgeable and helpful. This cruise was absolutely the right choice for seeing the Dalmation coast and I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Amazing trip

Loved my 7 day cruise on Almissa! Every day waking up to stunning Croatian islands, towns and cities was such a fantastic experience with options to do as much or little as you want. Almissa the boat was clean and well equipped to cater for all passengers. The cabin was spacious and comfortable and the crew including Dino the Cruise Director were fantastic! I would 100% recommend and if I'm ever over this side of the globe again, wouldn't hesitate to join another Sail Croatia cruise.

Fabulous yoga cruise

Many thanks to Dora and the Crew of Almissa. A hugely enjoyable cruise, great yoga sessions by Dora with stunning swim stops as we travelled the coast and islands of Croatia. A lot of fun too! Beautiful islands and ports to explore, with the help of Dora’s top tips we had a great holiday and would throughly recommend.

New level of cruise experience

Our vacation experience with Sail Croatia was excellent and memorable. Having cruised in Europe, Caribbean and Alaska on much larger ships we were looking for a new cruise experience: Sail Croatia delivered a new, higher level of cruising intimacy to us. The yacht Salle Di Mare was unique in terms that it is a mix of traditional design coupled with modern elegance. There were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy a tranquil cruise around the Croatian islands. It's a very intimate experience unlike the large cruise liners. You get to meet the crew and see them working every day. You mingle all the time with fellow passengers and make new friends. And you have this against a backdrop of picture-perfect islands, historic sites, and blue (clear) water. Plus, our cruise had 6 out of 7 days of sunshine, and on the day without sun we had indoor wine tasting :-) As an endorsement, we are already planning another Sail Croatia cruise!

Wonderful week in the sun

The trip was a wonderful experience, made better by the great staff and the other guests. Made some good friends and discovered the beauty of the Croatian coast on a comfortable boat. Highlights included the swim stops, the local cuisine and the beautiful towns we stopped at

Salve Di Mare

Our passionate Sail Croatia guide Ivan was always there for us with recommendations for activities and food and local history at our Port stops . Our ship Salve Di Mare and crew were also amazing with at least one swim stop per day. Each swim stop the crew moored us in amongst the most stunning scenery and pristine water.

What a wonderful week!

I loved exploring the magical Croatian waters and towns with Sail Croatia. The boat was great (slept like a baby!). The food was amazing, the fellow passengers were interesting and fun, and the crew was the best. Thanks, Ivana, Josef, Sebastian, Cesar, and all, for a wonderful week!!

A trip to remember!

Our time on the Princeza Diana was fantastic and the crew made our experience one to remember, especially Katarina, Errol and Nikolina! They were so attentive and made sure every passenger had an amazing time and the knowledge they had of each place we went to meant that we could experience the very best of Croatia. The food was incredible every day and the chefs catered to everyone’s needs. The excursions were fantastic. We were able to see and experience so much of each place. This was honestly one of the best holidays I have ever had and I’m very grateful to Sail Croatia for everything.
