If you dream of sailing then this trip is for you. To see Croatian islands while sailing is a unique experience. Start with breakfast, Cruise in beautiful clear waters, swim for a couple of hours, eat a 3 course lunch and then explore a beautiful different island each day for 7 days. Plenty of activities to choose from as you go. A family run boat so service is key and they pride themselves on making your journey an exceptional one. I will recommend to all family and friends.

The staff were wonderful, friendly and professional and very eager to please. The boat was comfortable with sun, shade, and AC. the swim stops were beautiful. The countryside was wonderful. Our unplanned extra time in dubrovnik was handled well. The trip to Montenegro was way to long with the border crossings. The cruise leader was so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and varied. Our whole family aged 21 to 78. Loved every minute. I have told many people about it and have given them information.

The people, our host was exceptional. Staff very friendly. Ship was very comfortable and clean.. the swim stops a definite high light.. so much history to take in. The food was very good although I did hear some say they were looking for more of a variety.

Unforgettable holiday visiting many beautiful islands. Captain and Crew were fantastic and our trip was made even more special with our host Ioana both knowledgeable and fun very helpful going above and beyond booking not only our group tours but also booking and advising restaurants as so many to choose. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food was fabulous highly recommend Favourite memory of the holiday the dolphin pod swimming along side the boat travelled the world and not seen so many dolphins at once 🐬🐬

My friend and I traveled on the Katarina from August 24 to the 31st. The yacht was absolutely beautiful. The dining room is stunning and all the shared space, upper deck with lounge chairs, hot tub, to the couches on the main level, we’re extremely well designed and comfortable. We stayed in the lower level and the rooms were spacious. I can’t say enough great things about the crew. The captain was readily available. Our host, Nikos, is amazing. He provided daily itinerary, along with suggestions for tours and restaurants. Nikos recommendations were excellent, in addition to being a great person and enjoyable to be around. The daily breakfast and lunch were spectacular. The staff is top-notch from the hostesses, cooks, housekeeping, and deck hands. We enjoyed the format. Sailed mornings, had breakfast and then a swim stop at every destination. The captains dinner was so much fun with live music and dancing all night. I really enjoyed the guest that we sailed with.

Our Elegance Cruise on the Romantic Star was perfect, great tour guide in Ivana, knowledgeable and friendly,, a crew that run the ship efficiently.. beautiful locations to visit and lots of swim stops in the clear beautiful Adriatic waters., and to top it off a great bunch of people on the cruise.
- Anita, 03/09/2025 18:07, Travelled with Friend/s
The friendliness of all crew members immediately made everyone feel comfortable and ready for an enjoyable, relaxing and memorable time. Nikos the tour guide was extremely patient, informative and funny. Nothing was too much trouble. Captain Ivan was very approachable and happy to have you learn more about the runnings of the boat. Ivana and Angela were the hostesses that always knew what we wanted and needed. Their smiling demeanour was so welcoming morning and late at night. The cleanliness of the entire ship was outstanding. The food was plentiful and extremely tasty. I honestly cannot recommend the Katarina crew and boat enough. A fantastic week with wonderful memories.

The experience from the day we arrived at the wharf in Dubrovnik to the time we departed in Split was truly unforgettable. The crew from Ivan the captain down to Ivana and Andela who looked after everyone were extremely professional, polite and helpful. Nicko the cruise guide was simply the best you could hope for. He was informative, friendly and went out of his way to make sure things ran smoothly for everyone. I would recommend Sail Croatia and the Katarina to anyone

We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik on the Olimp. A group of friends celebrating significant birthdays. George and his crew made our sail so seamless., They keep the boat absolutely immaculate and Nikolina managed to keep our cabins neat and tidy with regular linen changes. Nothing was too much trouble. Amina and big H were so gracious when we’d come back on the boat for ‘one more drink!’ A big shout out to Ivana, who’’s briefings were so informative, her restaurant suggestions always on point and her manner gentle and warm. For us, Sail Croatia was a travel highlight and a big hit! We love Croatia Helen and John

This cruise was simply unforgettable! The Olimp is a beautiful boat, and the crew were all fantastic. I loved the daily swim stops and the more relaxed schedule.

Our experience with Sail Croatia was simply spectacular. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, the boat was spotless, and the route was breathtaking. The food onboard was delicious every single day, with fresh and varied options that exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Lucija, our guide, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and detail-oriented at all times. She made sure we felt comfortable, well-informed, and enjoyed every stop and activity to the fullest. Her warmth and professionalism truly made a difference. Overall, a first-class experience: excellent service, stunning scenery, delicious food, and a crew that genuinely cares about their guests. I would absolutely recommend it 100%!

We did the trip with family for our mother's 80th birthday. The vessel was excellently equipped, the food high quality and the service excellent. We had swim stops that were my favourite parts...Towns along the way were busy but retiring to the vessel was like a little oasis. The Queen Jelena parked in the center of all the towns which gave us prime access to the towns and sites to visit. It was like having a hotel in the best location in every town that we went to, with luxury transport included. Staff were professional and friendly and our host Nickos was always available to provide advice or answer questions. For someone who enjoys more solitude and time away from the crowds, this trip represented a 'happy medium' between the busy towns of Europe in summer and the solitude provided by the vessel and sailing. Thanks Sail Croatia,

The beautiful ship. The amazing swim stops. The clean and spacious cabins. The ‘welcome on board’ canapés. The opportunity to experience some beautiful, picturesque islands. The Captains dinner. The itinerary. Mio & the lovely cleaning lady who cleaned our cabins. Only having 14 guests on board. Room for improvement:: The staff could be more friendly (except Mio and the cleaning lady - they couldn’t do enough for you); there should be more fish served as part of our lunches as we are out at sea and in the Adriatic! The lunches were lovely but certainly could be improved; the breakfasts and fresh fruit needed to be replenished as you were scared of having too much and not leaving enough for other passengers. It was not clear that you could have more. The chief female waitress in my opinion didn’t want to be there and that was more than obvious at times. As there was only 14 guests on board, it felt like most of the crew were ‘on a jolly’ and did not make enough effort to satisfy.

We really enjoyed the itinerary and The Esperanza was very well maintained. However some issues need addressing. The staff don’t appear to be very happy in their work place. Deck hands rarely smiled, the waitress in the salon was at times most inappropriate and borderline rude. It’s not every day you hear the F word or gestures using an arms whilst talking to passengers. So totally unprofessional and disrespectful to the Captain.. We appreciate that crew are able to go ashore for free time but please don’t tell the passengers that drinking of alcohol was consumed whilst ashore and then come onto deck to work; Safely for guests and crew surely should be paramount. The salon steward Mio went above and beyond to make every moment a pleasurable experience. The food lacked any wow factor, breakfast tepid, cold ravioli not nice, lettuce leaves as a salad, fruit bowl not replenished until we complained Only 14 guests in total and that shouldn’t mean less effort.. Representive did his job.

We arrived at the boat in Dubrovnik and met the very welcoming host Vedran. We were made to feel at home instantly and explored the boat which had all the facilities you would expect and a splendid hot tub on the sun deck. To say we had a blast is probably a bit of an understatement. We all got on very well as a group, and the staff were excellent – including Mio, Martina, Sylvie and the captain Vlado. We were lucky with a very hot & sunny week so the daily swim stops in coves were always welcome. And then there was the wine….. Whilst by no means experts we can now distinguish our Grk from our Vugava and discuss the styles of Posip! And for red, the ubiquitous Plavac Mali (literally ‘little blue’) was made in all sorts of styles. We visited family wineries in various locations including a fun jeep safari on the island of Brac and a local Peka dinner on Hvar. Thanks Vedran for your knowledge, unflappability and company during the week. Keep on singing those songs!!! živjeli!

From the minute we boarded our vessel, Esperanza we knew it would be a great holiday. The service from all of the crew was exceptional, with Dino, our tour guide providing us with valuable information and he had very sound knowledge of every destination we visited. I would place Dino as one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Martina, our front of house hostess, did an amazing job of keeping all of the guests happy in every possible way. Nothing was too difficult for her and made everyone feel happy. I would highly recommend this cruise for anyone looking for an educational and fun holiday in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thank you Sail Croatia for the wonderful experience.

We sailed a 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia. The boat is called Katarina & it is part of the Elegance line. Captain Ivan, his staff and the cruise director were so welcoming and attentive. We had amazing swim stops every day, visited beautiful islands and had plenty of time to enjoy them. The boat is beautiful, new, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. I was sad to see the trip end and I would go again, if possible.

Everything came together to create the perfect holiday - the stunning landscapes, the refreshing swim stops, the delicious food, and the beautiful cruise.

Our tour manager, Ioanna, was the shining star of the cruise. She is very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history, top things to do on each island, always goes the extra mile and consistently to ensure guests are well versed in all possibilities, she over delivers on every aspect of the role and has a great communication style, very light and funny. The crew is wonderful as well, very hard working and dedicated to their jobs. The cook staff was incredibly talented, and meals were delicious. And the captain was just lovely. Definitely one of the cleanest sails I have ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Olimp, it’s a family-owned boat and the Captain is the son of the owner.
- Amy, 22/07/2025 17:41, Travelled with Family
We had an absolutely fantastic time. Our Cruise Director Ioana was so professional, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her to organise. She was always available and communication was great. The crew were great, efficient always smiling 😃 and friendly. Almira and Ivo were very attentive in the dining and bar areas. Hard working crew all around the sail crew were great in getting the best swim stops every day and Nickoletta was wonderful with housekeeping. The Chef and his sous chef prepared delicious food for us and the variety was excellent and very tasty. Thank you SAIL CROATIA for an amazing trip. We made some special friendships and all the places we stopped along the way were great with many different experiences.

Crucero de pocos pasajeros, atención personalizada. Excelente itinerario. Lugares qye visita son imperdibles. Tripulación muy atenta y servicial. Especial mención para Dino y Martina que estuvieron dedicados a atendernos, ayudarnos y proporcionando alegría y entretención . Capitan muy experto y fue muy grato participar con él en la noche del Capitan. Sugerencia: tener más elementos inflables para nadar en el mar. Y el día de inicio del crucero realizar alguna actividad para que pasajeros se conozcan.
