The tour guides were excellent! Very organized and friendly-always on time. Food was more than we expected and all very tasty. The crew were also engaging and communicated very well the plan for each day.

We enjoyed 7 days of beauty, history, hiking, and wonderful service! The staff of Salve di Mare were top notch. Servers Marko and Vlaho, Housekeeper Julija, Representative Nikos, Trail Guide Illona, and Chef Bojan and Sous Chef Fani were all extraordinary. They were friendly, attentive, and well-organized. The deck hands kept everything ship shape, constantly cleaning or anticipating our next move. The daily breakfast buffet and 3-course lunch were top notch; thank goodness we were hiking so much!! Each day/port was amazing with the hikes, sightseeing, food, amazing Croatian history "lessons" from Nikos, incredible swim stops, and just feeling the breeze in our hair as we sailed each day. I recommend Sail Croatia's Luxury Hiking Cruise wholeheartedly. It more than met my expectations!

Amazing holiday! The food, the hiking, the boat, and the staff were all exceptional. One of the highlights for us was swimming off of the back of the boat.

The sail and hike cruise was great and Natasha and Sasa were perfect in leading us on the hikes while providing history of Croatia along the way. Highly recommend!!

Fun holiday. Maybe 1/2 days too long. Alcohol on board very expensive. Breakfasts were very much the same each day. Felt leaders could have done more - like dinners out on town - to build comraderey. Hikes seemed like last minute thoughts. Leader took few breaks, not a lot of stopping to explain interesting facts. But maybe there weren’t many. 😬 all in all fun , beautiful Boat and great crew

We really enjoyed our sail and hike trip on the Dalmation coastal islands. The trip was very well organised with great communication and leadership from beginning to end. The ship crew were friendly and helpful. Our tour leaders Natasha and Sasa were fantastic. Friendly, kind, and patient; genuinely good people. The structure of the trip was great, with flexibility to handle preferences from the group. We ended up hiking early and swimming late because it was already warm. The level of hikes were challenging without being exhausting. Definitely suitable for moderately experienced hikers and a reasonable fitness level. Happily everyone listened to the leaders well and there were no issues at all during the stay. Just a great fun time and the best way to see the islands. We would definitely do it again if our bucket list was shorter.

The Salve di Mare is a beautiful yacht. It does not have sails rigged, so "sailing" is a misnomer, but it was smooth and the food and atmosphere were lovely. The staff were very helpful. We enjoyed seeing the unspoiled islands as well as the busy, uniquely scenic cities of Dubrovnik and Split. The hikes were not too taxing. We would have liked to learn more about flora, fauna, and history along the way. The water is stunningly beautiful. The critique we have is that we were not told we might get portholes above our eye level, not windows, in the most expensive cabins (above deck). We would not have paid extra for these cabins, had we known.. I requested above-deck cabins because one of us is claustrophobic and the other needs to see the horizon to avoid seasickness. We could not see anything but the sky. Some guests did have cabins with windows. We booked quite early and did not know we might get stuck in a non-window cabin. It was disappointing to pay so much for no view.

The scenery of sailing along the islands off Croatia is nothing short of breathtaking. The only thing that surpasses the view from the ship are the views from the hikes along the glistening sea, cozy harbor coves, and distant islands. This cruise offers the perfect blend of activities, including good hikes, floating in the sea, and lounging in the sun. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. They covered everything from the terrain to Croatia’s rich history and the best-kept food secrets of locals on the islands. The ship was well-maintained, the cabins were comfortable, and the food was delicious. It was a really good vacation.

I had a week on the Salve De Marie cruise ship. From the moment I stepped on the boat I knew it was going to be amazing. The boat was beautiful, It was very clean and all the staff went out of their way to ensure the trip I had with my nine friends was absolutely brilliant. Sasha the tour guide and Mate our walking/trek guide were fantastic! The food was out of this world and the ten members of crew were a great team. I would definitely do this again. Loved the kayak, paddle boarding and swim stops every day. Definitely a holiday to remember! Thank you!
- Sue, 25/05/2026 14:15, Travelled with Friend/s
It was a top experience and a great value. Accommodations were good, food was fantastic. Most of all the staff was first rate and really worked hard to accommodate guests needs. Good balance of easy and more challenging hikes, lots of free time, and swimming opportunities. Loved it. Would recommend to anyone who likes to see lots and keep moving.

Well organized, efficient, flexible, very helpful and friendly crew.. We had a great cook.. We did most of the hikes in the afternoon. I personally prefer to hike in the morning but when walking in the shade afternoons were ok. It was May so I did not try the AC. My only disappointment was the HOT TUB was not hot and almost as cold as the ocean in May. There was a TV but it did not work.. WIFI was excellent.

Everything about the trip was five stars. I couldn’t fault it. Special shout out to Sasha & Mate for making the trip and hikes so special.

The crew aboard the Salve di Mare looked after us from start to finish with great attentivness and humour. The boat was beautiful and spacious and I loved watching the skillful captain bringing us in and out of port. Wonderful food- (how do they do that in such a small kitchen)?! And of course, the spectaclar scenery of Croatia- crystal clear waters, majestic mountains and the idyllic port villages and towns. And finally a special mention for our hiking guide, Mate and our customer care and everything else, Sasha. Both were excellent at their job and looked after us very well and with great humour, which I loved. A wonderful experience and great memories made.

This trip far exceeded our expectations. We knew the scenery and history along the Croatian Coastline was impressive but add to this a beautiful boat, wonderful crew and Sail Croatia reps and delicious food - what more could you want? We loved that you could find your own evening meal on shore and that you could join in the hiking or relax on board with a book. No pressure. Thank you to all for such a great relaxing and enjoyable trip.

Myself, my wife and 9 friends had an absolutely brilliant week, sailing around Croatia on a perfectly sized boat (30 passengers). The accommodation was great, the food delicious and the amount of hiking spot on. Some hikes were challenging some were easy but it was a great balance. The guides were friendly, informative and looked after us just right. I highly recommend the trip to active folks who want to see the sun, sea and Croatia.

I had the absolute pleasure of joining the Sail Croatia Hiking Cruise, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded every expectation. Our guides, Lola and Natasha, were fantastic. They were extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the islands, bringing each stop to life with fascinating stories and insights. On the hikes, they struck the perfect balance of encouragement and patience, never rushing us even when the trails became more challenging. Their energy and expertise made the journey both fun and rewarding. The onboard crew was equally impressive. The chef and waitstaff were top-notch—the meals were consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. They were also very accommodating with dietary needs, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was also amazed by the skill of our captain. Watching him expertly navigate the waters and dock in the marinas was truly impressive And gave us complete confidence!!

I have just completed a dream holiday cruising the Dalmatian coast. The crew were very helpful and friendly, especially the amazing Mario! Our chef and sous chef were the best in the Adriatic - thanks for all the extra kilos Ivica and Antonio. Our hiking guides, Lola and Natasa, were efficient, caring and full of information. I was the red faced, sweat drenched hiker at the very back so I was especially grateful for Natasha’s support and patience! I will recommend this trip to everyone.
- Mary, 29/09/2025 19:05, Travelled with Family
Sail Croatia is a perfect blend of sailing and hiking, there is also time on each island to explore the local area. Each day is a new adventure on a different island. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful . During our hikes we learn a little history of the island we were on. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour group, they did a great job.

This was a return cruise for me and my friend, we sailed the Split return route in September 2021, with only 7 guests on board the Mali Ante. This year we were 31 guests and sailed from Dubrovnik on the Mali Luka. Everything about our trip was exceptional and we had a wonderful adventure. Our fellow mariners, the crew, Natasha and Ilona our trusty guides and local experts, the weather, the food, Croatia!!! Everything was perfect. Thank you!

First time to Croatia, and was so completely captivated by the country, beauty, and people. This ship and crew gave us an experience like no other....took us to spots that take your breath away. We had a great group and we enjoyed each other's company in the adventures. I experienced a knee problem just before the start of the trip so could not hike well like so many others, but my guide Elona always had options. Tashi gave us history and stories, and the food was amazing. This # of passengers is perfect, and I am telling everyone this treasure we got to be a part of , Thanks you for so many memories ❤️

Beautiful hike choices and Island locations. The Captain and his team were amazing and accommodated bad weather so that we still hiked and enjoyed the fair weather sailing. The food on Board was fantastic and Bruno was efficient and helpful. Our group would have preferred more swim time. Perhaps also, more time in Vis-maybe a second day there for more swim time, even worth losing one hike elsewhere. The hike to the Blaca Heritage monastery on Brac and the adventure was a lot of fun as well as a history lesson. We learned a lot!!! Blaca Heritage

From start to finish the trip was amazing. Well planned, stunning swim stops, interesting hikes and excellent guiding by our 2 leaders Mate and Sanja. Great itinerary The crew went out of their way to make our group feel welcome and as a result we all blended very well ( age 14 to 70) The cabins were comfortable, the boat spotlessly clean and meals very generous. Can't recommend highly enough.

It was my first time on a cruise and also my first time in Croatia. I was a bit nervous at first, but it turned out to be a lovely experience. I was surprised, however, that the age demographic was much older, and there wasn’t really anyone my age. I also expected the hiking to be more challenging, but it was quite slow and leisurely—which did suit some of the group. That said, the crew and tour guides were incredibly welcoming, and I really enjoyed meeting everyone on board. They did their best to make sure we had a great week in Croatia, and I’m thankful I took the risk and tried something new. Overall, it was a fun and memorable adventure!

My partner and I, along with family members and friends, took this trip. Great onboard atmosphere. The crew and dining service folks were great. Wonderful cuisine (always more than enough) provided by the onboard chef. The hikes were more challenging than I expected. I would like to have trained for hills, and tricky terrain in the heat. Our tour guides were very supportive, though. Would definitely recommend.

After travelling solo for several weeks this was a great way for me to explore the islands without having to organise anything myself. I had a great group of 20 fellow travellers, enjoyed lovely bays to swim off the boat and interesting hikes (at times challenging due to the heat) . The food served on board was excellent, and all of the crew were friendly, helpful and very professional. I really enjoyed my time on board the 'Mali Luka' and can understand why several people on my cruise had previously sailed with Sail Croatia.

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!
