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.

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!

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!

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.

We had a great week on the Almissa with the Sail Croatia crew. Daily swim stops, and cute towns through Croatia were our highlight.

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!!

Dino had very good recommendations for each stop we visited and a lot of knowledge on each place. Food was also really good as well and there was something different each day. The crew were also very friendly and helpful
- Ava , 07/07/2025 05:12, Travelled with Family
Dino and the crew on the Almissa gave our family an unforgettable experience! Nothing was a problem for Dino and his honest feedback on tours and things to do was much appreciated! Thank you!

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.

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.

Great Food, beautiful swim stops, excellent trip, great staff!
- Chrissy, 02/07/2025 09:12, Travelled with Family
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
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
Fun! We had a fabulous crew and wonderful group of guests. Everyone really bonded and had lots of great conversations and fun times together!
- Gregory, 30/06/2025 13:20, Travelled with Family
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
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
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
Between the team on the boat, including Dino, our guide, the beautiful boat itself, and the scenery we visited, could not have been better.

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.
- Lauren, 23/06/2025 14:37, Travelled with Family
We had an amazing time on the Explorer cruise. The crew was amazing, especially Magda. She was so helpful and sweet, we really enjoyed chatting with her on our cruise. She’s amazing!
- Savannah, 23/06/2025 05:55, Travelled with Family
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.

We had an amazing time on the Almissa! The Explorer trip was perfect for all ages. There were several families with young adults so we all made new friends. Everything was fantastic from the food to the swim stops and gorgeous islands to the fun group of people we spent the week with! Thank you for an amazing vacation.

I really enjoyed our crew and our tour guide, Anita. They were wonderfully attentive to our needs and refreshing to be around. I will highly recommend this ship and crew to our friends.
- Randy, 10/06/2025 18:44, Travelled with Family
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 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
The cruise was incredible. I felt at home the second I got on the boat. The staff was so friendly and everyone on our boat was as well. The boat was incredibly clean and luxurious. I loved how we had time in the morning to relax and then the afternoon to do excursions and explore. It was the perfect balance. Our guide Vicko was amazing! He had so much information to share and was always honest with his recommendations about what he thought were the best things to do at each stop. We all got along so well and I feel we made lifelong friends! I would 100% do another Sail Croatia tour again!

We chose Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on the Salve De Mare as our summer family vacation with our 20 and 24 year old children. It was the perfect mixture of relaxation, sight seeing, adventure, and exploring. Our travel rep, Vicko, was awesome. He was always leading the way with great advice and direction. The crew of the Salve de Mare went above and beyond to accommodate and ensure everyone had a good time. The food and drinks on board were diverse and delicious. This was an intimate cruise with only 33 passengers and 9 crew. We truly came as strangers and left as friends. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve de Mare. Thanks for an awesome vacation!
- Debbie, 05/06/2025 19:19, Travelled with Family
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.

Delightful week long trip on the Salve di Mare. Vicko was our tour manager and had great recommendations. The accommodations were very clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend!
- Nicole, 19/05/2025 22:11, Travelled with Family
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
The crew was friendly, competent and informative. Each port was beautiful and had activities to help us see more of the islands. They rerouted us when weather threatened to dampen our plans. Great trip, will do again

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
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.
- Dulce, 27/10/2024 04:07, Travelled with Family
Beautiful sea, great weather, kind and simpatico crew and staff. Kind and professional captain who took on board the requests of his guests and supported them when he could. Cleaver and knowledgable tour guide Anita always helpful, kind and fun. So, thank you it was a wonderful holiday.
- Viv, 23/10/2024 21:58, Travelled with Family
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!
- Brian, 22/10/2024 07:36, Travelled with Family
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.
- Sandy, 14/10/2024 09:36, Travelled with Family
My sister and I had a great trip on the Tempera ship. What more can I say about the amazing crew, the 5 star meals, the swim stops and the experiences that were set up by our hard-working, devoted ship activity director, Ioana. The small ship atmosphere is the way to go. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Carolyn , 07/10/2024 19:23, Travelled with Family
Really enjoyed the crew! Ioana was absolutely amazing and always replied so quickly. Food was excellent but you need good hot coffee. (This seemed to be the consensus) Room was perfect. Really enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

Swim stops were cancelled due to weather without consulting passengers. Some activities were cancelled either because of equipment malfunction. A better hostess would be good.
- Malcolm , 07/10/2024 06:54, Travelled with Family
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.
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.
