The whole crew aboard the Almissa was amazing! The food was fantastic and everyone made us made us feel right at home. Our tour guide Josip was so good, I wish everyone could experience what we did on our trip. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone going to Croatia.

We travelled on the Almissa with a total group of 22 people to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. This was one of THE BEST TRIPS I have ever taken! We could not have been happier with the service, cleanliness of the ship, fun excursions, excellent food and drinks and exceptional crew! Captain Josip was the best! He sailed the Almissa perfectly, changing the order of our itinerary to best suit weather and wind conditions, giving us a perfect week of sun and beautiful weather. Our sailors Ivan and Capo took beautiful care of the ship, working tirelessly behind the scenes. Chefs Marko and Bogden prepared delicious meals with very large potions and beautiful presentation. Bartenders Kafka and Cezar prepared wonderful drinks while interacting with all of us in a fun atmosphere. We loved Hana our cruise director, she was THE BEST! She lovingly took care of all of our needs, provided us with history, information on restaurants and places to see, and even made a reservation for 22 of us!

We enjoyed our vacation aboard the spacious Esperanza. The crew was welcoming and funny and our Tour coordinator Klara kept us laughing and informed. We loved meeting people from across the world and sharing our travel stories each day. The Croatian islands were so beautiful to see and the old towns each had a unique vibe to them. Leaving the planning to Sail Croatia made it truly relaxing.

An Awesome experience!! The Captain took us to amazing swim spots and kept us in schedule for all our stops. The crew was a pleasure to interact with every day! Hanna made sure the guests were always happy , well informed, and made our reservations for dinner and excursions. The bar tenders were entertaining and kept delicious drinks in our hands! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia , especially the Almissa!!

Excellent cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. The daily swim stops were fabulous and very relaxing. The crew knew what they were doing and were very professional. Our tour guide was the best! Very attentive and took care of everyone.

The ship and crew were excellent. Hana was very responsive to any issues or questions we had. She also was very informative about all the ports we visited. hana arranged all of our off ship excursion's .The captain always picked the perfect spot each day for our swim days. I would recommend this trip to anyone that is looking for a once in a lifetime trip.

We sailed on the Almissa for my sister in laws 60th birthday. We had the most amazing trip! Captain Joseph was the most amazing captain! He was so friendly and genuinely loved sailing his ship. He found the most outstanding swim spots. He truly enjoyed talking to all his passengers. Our bartenders Cezar and Kufca were so fun and so personable!! They knew all our names by the end of the first day! The food was really very good. We had breakfast and lunch everyday on the boat! The sailors were outstanding as well! The star of the show was Hana! We all absolutely fell in love with our ships director(not sure the actual term). But Hana was soooo lovely! We were informed every day with the schedule of events. She sent us restaurant recommendations and made us reservations if we needed. Everyday she gave us a presentation of what we would see on our next stop. She planned a birthday dinner including cake. But most of all she took the time to get to know every one of us! We loved her!

We loved our Sail Croatia holiday aboard Salve di Mar slowly island hopping between Dubrovnik and Split. Highlights weee the enthusiastic and capable Sail Croatia host and vessel crew, the stunning islands with their historic villages and diverse cuisine, our magnificent vessel and socialising with our friends and guests. It was our first cruise but with such a small group, cruise doesn’t feel the right word. Whatever you call it… the experience s wonderful. Do go.
- Mike, 27/07/2026 11:09, Travelled with Friend/s
My family lived every minute aboard Salve di Mare. Barbara and the entire crew went out of their way to ensure our vacation was the best ever. The food, the cleanliness, the friendly atmosphere made for a dream come true.
- Tammy, 27/07/2026 08:16, Travelled with Family
We had a great week aboard Princeza Diana. The crew were attentive and our host Ana very knowledgeable. Some great excursion options. A small group of 15 which actually made the week as we all got to know each other so well and all clicked. Highly recommend. I would say though when asked if you have dietary restrictions, if you don’t like fish or tomatoes worth saying as they are very much apart of the meals. Overall meals were good.

About 18 months ago, I saw Sail Croatia on Instagram and quickly showed it to my wife. With her blessing, I reached out and booked our trip. We quickly told friends about it and were a total of six when we boarded the Almissa. Simply stated, the trip was amazing. Our captain, our crew, and our bartenders (Cezar and Kafka) were the best. Always there for anything we needed, and always with a smile. Everything you see on the cruise is beautiful but the service on the Almissa took it over the top. Each day you leave a location, eat wonderful food on the boat, have a swim stop, and end up in a new location. The food was excellent. I am a picky eater and loved everything. The swim stops are so beautiful that we all agreed that pictures were not doing them justice. The size of the ship allows for smaller ports and takes you to places you likely would not see otherwise. I cannot recommend this cruise enough. It was a highlight of not just this trip, but all the trips we have taken.

If you are considering a Sail Croatia trip, take the plunge and go! We absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. (We departed Dubrovnik on July 4 and ended in Split - Explorer.) The itinerary was the perfect combination of beautiful destinations, swimming, adventure, culture, food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the incredible Adriatic coastline. What really made the trip special, though, was the experience of traveling with a small group and the dedicated crew. Of our 31 travelers, 11 were international (Scottish, British, Spanish, Australian, South African), with the rest from the US - and all were awesome humans! With Josip as our guide, and the Salve Di Mare crew caring for us all week, we enjoyed every minute with all our new friends. And the ship is perfection! The trip was well organized, while still feeling relaxed and adventurous. We came home with memories we'll never forget and friends we hope to see again. Five stars without hesitation!
- Mary, 25/07/2026 23:44, Travelled with Family
Amazing! Such a great trip. We seemed to have ended up with a much younger age group, but it couldn’t have been better. Our guide, Barbara, was so good. She brought us all together. Most of us are still in touch via WhatsApp and instagram! Don’t overthink if you are considering this trip, just do it!!!

Our week on the Almissa was amazing. Great food, staff, rooms, common spaces and other guests. The itinerary was excellent including a variety of activities and swim spots. A truly unique and special way to experience Croatia and we have no hesitation recommending the Almissa. The Sail Croatia communication was good in the lead up to the tour. A few things to note as feedback. Make the end of tour survey anonymous to get honest and useful feedback, carrying cash is a pain now for tourists - the fact everything on the boat and the extra tours and tips are to be paid in cash is inconvenient. Towels on the ship could be replaced - they are getting a bit old. Provide tea and coffee after lunch for free. This would be a small inexpensive thing to include - many international guests like their coffee and tea in the afternoon. 3 Euros for a cup of tea is way over the top. Finally the tipping recommendation appears out of step with what the cruise cost is. Small suggestions.

Best trip of a lifetime thanks to Sail Croatia. The boat, Capitan, crew, chief, cleaning, and all were exceptional. The attention to details and assuring we had what we needed was amazing. This trip could not have gone better.

We had an amazing trip! The crew and coordinator (Boat Manager Christiana, coordinator Nikos, sailors Tino and Charlie, waiters Neno and Martin, and maid Joy) all did an amazing job. They all went the extra mile to make sure we were accommodated. The ship had just been renovated, and it was definitely and it was very nice. Rooms and bathrooms were very spacious. Other common areas of the ship (upper sun deck, saloon, etc.) were very nice. Would highly recommend Sail Croatia and the Contessa ship.

Our Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best trips of my life! My husband, our adult kids, and I all agreed it was an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful, our cabin was spacious, and it was meticulously cleaned every day. The food was outstanding, and the entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help. A special thank you to our tour manager, Dino. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations at every stop, helping us make the most of each destination. Although our itinerary changed slightly due to weather and docking conditions, it worked out perfectly. We visited Jelsa, which ended up being our favorite stop of the trip! The swim stops were absolutely spectacular, with crystal clear water and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering Sail Croatia, don't hesitate. It was an incredible experience, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!
- Lara Smith, 15/07/2026 22:29, Travelled with Family
Couldn’t have had a more perfect experience. Dino and crew of the Queen Jelena were just awesome! The food, views, swim stops, and accommodations were top notch. Only thing more amazing was Croatia itself - what a beautiful country and no better way to see it than aboard a Sail Croatia yacht!!
- Michael, 15/07/2026 01:28, Travelled with Family
I was pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything went. Everything was organized and I felt like I didn't need to worry about anything. I was also surprised how good the lunches were. I am a tad picky, but the food was just great. I'll also note that our room was bigger and more comfortable than expected. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing trip to a beautiful location.

We went from Split to Dubrovnik over 7 days on Esperanza with our guide Sanja. Not only were the ammenties on the boat outstanding, but the staff, food, and drinks were all 10/10. Sanja was great as well, as she gave the group detailed and informative information about the islands and activites we were doing. Life-changing trip, I want to come back next year!

We traveled with two families with older teens, nine total. We had the most incredible vacation. The locations were stunning, the crew and fellow passengers were fun and engaging, and the food was imaginative and delicious (but not too crazy for our picky eaters). The Salve di Mare was a beautiful boat and the rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean. Could not have asked for a better holiday!

Traveled with a group of 8, and had the absolute best time! Sanja was great, working with us everyday on what to expect that day and next, and the crew was fabulous! Ivo and Mio were great bartenders, the crew was awesome, and the ship was always clean and perfect for our group. The other passengers were also super friendly and we all got along perfectly! A wonderful way to explore the Croatian islands, and I highly recommend it!!

We loved our time with Sail Croatia. When we booked our trip we weren’t sure what to expect. We had never taken a trip on a small boat cruise before and are not really fans of large cruise ships. But from the time we boarded till well after we got off, we completely enjoyed our experience. The crew were attentive and fun. The other passengers were a great mix of personalities. And our cruise director, Klara, kept us both informed and entertained, she even got us a reservation for 21 at Massimo Cocktail Bar on Korčula. I looked forward to the daily swim stops, always at a picture perfect beach, and each town we visited was unique and memorable. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough. We are already planning our next trip.

You never know what to expect with 35 strangers but this mini 7 night cruise exceeded all expectations. We were warmly greeted and had ample time to mingle or do our our things. We were provided with numerous options for eating out and placed to visit at each stop. The on board food (breakfast and lunch) were plentiful and the swim stops along the way were so dreamy and refreshing during our hot week on board. The rooms were well spaced with ample storage for our 2 large and 2 small cases and the A/C kicked in well at night. Our main host Andro was exceptional and his command of the English language made everything seamless, closely followed by the diligent boat crew . We had so much fun, lots of drinks and laughs with guests and plenty of time to really unpack and unwind. I felt safe, my belongings were secure and we strongly recommend the Tempera to those looking for adventure, unique beauty but ample time to chill out.. There are a few deserving tips and taxes to factor in though.

We had an amazing experience with Sail Croatia, travelling on the Almissa, Hanna our guide was an absolute pleasure to have on board, all her information on our island stops was informative and her assistance with booking anything inland was a bonus. Especially her recommendations for walking and hiking trails. She really made our time on the boat stress free, The swim stops where beautiful.
