From start to finish the cruise and the staff exeeded our expectations , what a wonderful experience. We are already discussing our next cruise !!

The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.

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

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

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

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

The cruise was incredible. I felt at home the second I got on the boat. The staff was so friendly and everyone on our boat was as well. The boat was incredibly clean and luxurious. I loved how we had time in the morning to relax and then the afternoon to do excursions and explore. It was the perfect balance. Our guide Vicko was amazing! He had so much information to share and was always honest with his recommendations about what he thought were the best things to do at each stop. We all got along so well and I feel we made lifelong friends! I would 100% do another Sail Croatia tour again!

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

The crew were amazing and helped out whenever necessary, Clara our Rep was very helpful and friendly. The experience was amazing and the people we met have become friends for life
- Erin, 05/06/2025 17:18, Travelled with Family
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.

From my first inquiry to the completion of our sailing trip all the staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. A very special thank you to our skipper Mislav and hostess Dora. They were both wonderful. Very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and great to travel with. It made for a unique holiday and lifetime memories. Thank you to all the staff at Sail Croatia.

With 3 20-something-year-old kids beginning to go in different directions, we were looking to explore Croatia together and solidify a vacation full of lifelong family memories together. I stumbled upon Sail Croatia as we looked for ways to see the coastal cities and islands. Boy, were we glad we did! An extra bonus was the ability to combine a bit of adventure and activity through a biking cruise. I can't say enough positive things about our experience on Mali Luka and the wonderful crew and captain. Our leaders Mila and Mario, were full of knowledge, experience, hospitality, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, kindness and a passion for the beauty and history of their country. The entire experience was top-notch. The meals and service on board were exceptional and delivered with a smile - always. We loved getting to know so many people from across the world with peace and trust and hospitality. We will forever cherish our memories and new friends from our Sail Croatia experience!

The trip was easy to book, with lots of helpful tips and instructions on how to find to the ship in Split harbour. The itinerary was just perfect, island hopping everyday and stopping for swimming while spending a relaxing morning sailing and sunbathing on deck. Our tour host, Dino, made our trip truly memorable as well as the other guests we spent our week with. Dino was amazing, such a delightful guy. Our group is still messaging each other on the WhatsApp chat that Dino set up. We were informed each day of what to expect, what we could see, what time we were setting off, where to eat, drink, best places for anything that any guest was looking for. The holiday was a delightful balance of being well looked after whilst freedom to see/do as much as we wanted. Remember to bring more long-sleeved clothing if travelling in May as evenings are cool. Lunch was a tasty 3-course cooked meal which I would have preferred as a buffet selection personally. Definitely recommend the trip!
- Tamara, 04/06/2025 10:47, Travelled with Family
Took this trip with my family as a last hurrah before my sister gets married. It was everything and more I could have hoped for! I truly believe it was the best way to see Croatia. We did the cycling cruise and visited so many incredible places on the islands we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Our boat was always clean, the meals were FANTASTIC, but what really made it was the crew and our cycling guides. Haleem, one of our crew members, catered to every need and was always around to chat with us or teach us a new card game. Our cycling guides, Mila and Mario, were so knowledgeable and made sure to always provide us with the most out of every opportunity. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat!
- Kailee, 03/06/2025 01:25, Travelled with Family
The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.

The tour hosts (Lola and Tonka) and ship’s crew were fantastic! We were fortunate to be traveling with a great group of people and had a fabulous time. The chef did a great job on the meals and the boat had nice touches such as hairdryers in each room.
- Anne, 02/06/2025 11:30, Travelled with Family
We loved our adventure aboard the Salve di Mare and the time spent with new friends. The other passengers were easy to connect with and lots of fun. The crew worked seamlessly to keep the ship sparkling, anticipated our needs, and made everything look effortless and natural. Together they created a fun and relaxed environment. Tour manager Ioana was enthusiastic and upbeat. She ensured we understood the logistics for upcoming activities and provided alternatives for those who needed to skip a hike. Hike leader Mate shared his knowledge about Croatian culture and Island history. As an experienced local hiking guide with a background in Search and Rescue, we knew we were in good hands as he led us to beautiful vistas and interesting historic locations. Sail Croatia was informed of my food allergies in advance. The chef provided creative alternatives and the waitstaff made sure I received the right items. The entire cruise was top notch due to the exceptional staff!
- Aaron & Alice, 02/06/2025 02:25, Travelled with Family
The most amazing week on-board Tuna. Ceili was an awesome tour guide - engaging with the group and showing us the best of Croatia; as well as giving us the necessary history and keeping us on-time. The captain took us to the most beautiful swim stops and Leo was fabulous behind the bar mixing up cocktails!! Toper was always quick to assist when needed and Maren made up tasty meals. We had a great group too and nobody was left out. A week that I won't forget anytime soon and will hopefully be back in the next few years!! Thank you Ceili and crew for making the week extra speical :)

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

Our guides Mila and Lola were fabulous and passionate about what they do and Croatia. Well organized and ready with an alternative plan when the weather affected the original plans. Learnt a lot about Croatia. Hikes were really enjoyable. I especially loved Biokovo Nature Park. Great crew on our boat Emanuel which was spotless throughout our week.
- Jennifer, 28/05/2025 06:06, Travelled with Family
The boat was great and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the swim stops and all the ports Definitely recommend.
- Eric, 27/05/2025 23:01, Travelled with Family
Everything was near perfection. The Sail Croatia Reps, Mila and Lola were fantastic, knowledgeable, knew how to keep things moving with grace and good does of humor. The Cabin Crew and Deck Crew were super friendly and acted with concern as a was recovering from a bout of food poisoning (not Sail Croatia's or the Emanuel's Fault). Fellow passengers were super friendly and everyone got along well. Suggestions: 1: Cabins are a bit Spartan and could use a design refreshment 2: Make hiking poles available (I could not bring mine due to carry-on luggage rules) 3: Serve lunch after the hikes
- Ken, 27/05/2025 15:54, Travelled with Family
Great and plentiful food, great bike trips were carefully planned for our interest and safety.. Staff was receptive and helpful throughout the trip. The islands visited were magnificent visually and people were friendly and helpful. Learning the history added to the trip as well.
- Stephanie Battjer , 27/05/2025 11:43, Travelled with Family
I found the trip incredibly well organised, good back up plans in place when the weather was not as planned, whilst still feeling very relaxed and enjoyable. Excellent island stops, incredibly scenery/views and great bike rides on well maintained bikes.
- Debbie, 27/05/2025 07:39, Travelled with Family
The small cruise experience was wonderful. We went into small ports that large cruise ships could not go and were able to explore many more fabulous destinations. The food on the ship was plentiful and top notch. The hiking tour was a good mixture of easy walks and challenging hikes. Our guides were well informed and a pleasure to spend time with. My only constructive feedback would be to better describe the terrain and required fitness level for some of the hikes because I feel they were too challenging for a few of our companions and it required that the more able hikers were spending their time assisting rather than enjoying the hike. Thank you for a fabulous vacation!!
- Joy, 27/05/2025 06:15, Travelled with Family
Croatia is a beautiful and cruising the islands is stunning. The food, locations, our amazing tour guide Dino and the people we met.

Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!

The whole crew was incredible. Thank you Nour for your karaoke, your amazing personality, being so personable. Leo thank you for always keeping the energy up and the life of the party while also taking care of us. Thank you to Chef for the most amazing food while also having the best singing voice! Thank you Top and Captain for keeping us safe and going above and beyond for us. It was a week full of laughter, alcohol, new friends, and amazing stories that will be told for a lifetime.

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!

A fantastic relaxing 7 nights on the Romantic Star, Elegance cruise. A brilliant way to see the Croatian islands. Excellent service on board from our Captain Ivan, all the crew and our Tour Manager, Ioanna, who put 150% into making sure we all had a good time. The food was delicious and from beginning to end we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Every detail had been carefully planned to make the holiday perfect. I’d like to do it again soon and will certain recommend Sail Croatia to my friends and family.

The staff could not have been more helpful, the guides were knowledgeable and were quick to make changes when the weather demanded it. However charging €40 for a bottle of sparkling wine that retails at £6 is outrageous.
- Colin, 12/05/2025 10:14, Travelled with Family
My third time with sail Croatia. Best boat. Best crew. Best guides, and by far the best FOOD. The cook was so much better than the other ships I was on. Big compliments to the chef!!! Well done.

What a fantastic time we had, not being a cyclist riding the EBikes was the best thing. We were able to take in all the views that each day gave us. Our cycle guides Josko and Ann were simply the best. Loved the tales we were told at many stops. Thank you also to our crew, Ben our waiter was amazing one person to look after 29 of us. We will be back

The crew went to great lengths daily to address any questions or concerns. The food was great and if you liked your morning eggs other than was offered, the cook took orders. The cycling staff was very attentive to your safety and to each person physically being able to do days planned route. All in all great service for an affordable price.

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.
