We sailed on the Mail Ante from Split to Dubrovnik, we had the absolute best time ever. The crew were fantastic, the food was amazing, we loved Mario who looked after us every day like he was our family. So welcoming, Lola our tour guide was gorgeous, friendly and very informative, giving us realistic expectations of tours and local bars, restaurants etc. The lower deck cabin was. Very spacious much bigger than I imagined and very quiet The age range on board ranged from early twenties to late sixties. Would I go again, absolutely in a heartbeat. Croatia has won my heart. Chef and his mate were great, so happy and great food everyday. Well done crew

We had a fantastic time aboard the Salve Di Mare. Captain Frane is a master at the helm. Felt completely safe and comfortable with his piloting skills. Dino was great as tour guide. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Marco and the entire crew were excellent. Food was great. So glad we sailed with your company. We are planning another trip to beautiful Croatia next year with additional family members and will most likely book with Sail Croatia. Thank you.

Our group of 5 toured Croatia aboard the Almissa, leaving from Dubrovnick and ending in Split. We had a wonderful trip thanks to our tour guide Klara and the rest of the crew. Klara was knowledgeable, helpful, fun and provided excellent recommendations.... the trip would not have been the same without her. The food was plentiful and delicious, the swim stops were amazing, the excursions offered something for everyone, the ports were fantastic and the scenery was absolutely breath-taking. Highly recommend!!!!

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!

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!

If you’re considering a Sail Croatia cruise, I can’t recommend it enough—especially aboard the Tempera. The trip was one of the most enjoyable and well-organised I’ve ever taken, thanks to the exceptional crew. Our tour manager Anita was outstanding—professional, warm, and incredibly helpful. She made everything run smoothly and added a personal touch throughout. Maksim and Milan, our waiters, were equally fantastic—always smiling, attentive, and full of positive energy. The food was a highlight: fresh, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious. Each day struck a perfect balance between adventure and relaxation, with everything so well organised that we could just enjoy the experience. If you’re thinking of exploring Croatia by sea, choose Sail Croatia—you won’t regret it.

Very organised trip. Informed daily on what was on offer, boat was very clean and tidy. Every day we had a new experience with a great bunch of travellers. Amazing trip.
- jodie, 29/07/2025 00:17, Travelled with Friend/s
Had such a fun time! Our tour manager Anita was such a sweetheart, so organised and genuinely cared if we had a good time. She made sure we were well informed and helped build friendships among the guests. The service was amazing. Max and Milan were attentive, friendly and funny. The food was mostly great, I am a vegetarian and got served cheese in almost every lunch, more of a protein variety would have been amazing but what was served was still delicious, just a lot. The captain Frano and sailors (I’m sorry I forgot their names!) made sure we were safe and kept to scheduled times so it was easy to plan our days, they were lovely people as well. Every location was beautiful and so charming. Especially Mljet, we biked through the national park and it was gorgeous, please do it if you get the chance! Would definitely recommend to people who like a good mix of relaxation, culture and partying. Thanks sail Croatia, I’ll definitely be back in future!

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.

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.

Just returned from an unforgettable Sail Croatia trip! The itinerary was perfectly planned, giving us the ideal balance of adventure, relaxation, and stunning island stops. The real highlight, though, was the incredible crew — professional, friendly, and always going the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. A special shoutout to our main guide, Vicko, whose knowledge, energy, and humor made the journey even more memorable. The food on board exceeded all expectations — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every day. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to explore the Croatian coast!

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!

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!

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.

Croatia is a beautiful holiday destination so impressed with how stunning it is. Cruising with Sail Croatia onboard the Tempera was the perfect option. The crew, from the Captain, Max, the chef, Pero and our tour host Nikos provided an unforgettable holiday. Loved everything about it! Thank you

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!

Dino and the crew first and foremost. The itinerary and everything planned out so well with swim stops, activities and free time. The food was great and being able to eat on the islands was a great experience. The entire group of guests were friendly and we all got along well. Getting to know other passengers is very meaningful.

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 high expectations coming into our Sail Croatia cruise on the Salve Di Mare, and those expectations were greatly exceeded by the experience and the crew. The Dalmatian Coastline is stunning, definitely more stunning than the pictures yo see. The crew was very attentive and helpful. The crew made sure we had the best time possible. Our guide, Dino, was great helping setup experiences for all of us on the boat. We made new friends that we will stay connected with in the future. If you're thinking about taking a cruise with Sail Croatia, and specifically on the Salve Di Mare, I could not give them a higher recommendation!
- Brian, 14/07/2025 10:42, Travelled with Friend/s
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
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!

I was invited to join a 20th anniversary celebration cruise on the Salve di mare for my first cruise experience. First off, the crew was amazing! Klara as our cruise director took care of all the details in such a warm, funny and efficient way — I loved her history lessons and honest recommendations for excursions, dining and shopping. Our waiters/bartenders Marco and Vlagho worked so hard and were such fun! The boat was luxurious and spotless, and the variety of common areas (dining area, covered lounge, forward deck and sun deck )meant you never felt crowded. The food was delicious . I loved the itinerary and ship’s size! We had a great full breakfast, swam off the boat in the morning, sailed to our island stop, had scrumptious 3- course lunches, and then on our own. Because there were only 37 of us, we easily made new friends with whom the we would go off for excursions and dinner. Perfect trip for a non-planner!

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.

We had an absolute blast. We did the tour for my husbands 30th with some friends and the crew even baked a cake one day for him. The crew and Calum our guide were really great, always so helpful, organised, friendly and engaging. The cruise is a perfect blend of explore, swim, resting and reading and Ill recommend it to anyone. We were also privileged with great group of other travellers and made loads of new friends :) Thanks to Sail Croatia and Calum and his crew for a memorable holiday!

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!!!

The staff of our boat, including Dino as the key organizer and communicator, created a unique, fun-filled, and memorable trip!
