This was my first time with Sail Croatia! Definitely have fun memories for life from this week sailing! the people from this group ended up being like a little family especially the girls from my group the girlhood was so special! Every day was a new swim spot in beautiful waters and the ports were so cool exploring when docked, the food on board was quite delicious and the portions weren’t limited. Ola the tour guide of our party boat did a great job in keeping the group updated with recommendations, activities available and each days itinerary!! :) Each night was spent partying in a new spot and was very fun! There were a few birthdays on my week and the crew, captain and people on board were all amazing at making their birthdays feel special and celebrated with cake and birthday drinks and all! As a young person you have lots of fun connecting and partying with people around your age, I recommend! The only downside was the amount of mold spotted in the cabins and aircon vents.

We booked this sailing trip for the first week of September, paying £779, and overall I’d say it was a good trip for the price — but there are definitely some things I wish I’d known before booking. Arrival & accommodation We arrived and were greeted by a lovely host who showed us to our rooms below deck. This is probably the biggest thing I would flag for anyone booking. The rooms are very small, and the pictures online don’t really give you an idea of just how small they are. We were sharing a room with bunk beds, and there was no overhead space, so you couldn’t actually sit upright in the bed. We had read online that there was space underneath the beds for luggage, so we travelled with a suitcase expecting it to fit underneath. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough space. I spoke to the staff and initially felt that it was a bit of a “this is what it is” situation, but our tour host was very accommodating and offered us another room to use for our luggage. We were extremely grateful for this. In the end, I actually just stayed in the other room, which made more sense, and this wasn’t a problem. The rooms are also very dated and could definitely do with some TLC. The beds weren’t particularly comfortable either, and I wouldn’t describe the accommodation as luxurious in any way. That said, we managed and spent very little time in the room because we were out enjoying the destinations. Another issue was towels. The packing list we received said towels would be provided and that we didn’t need to bring our own. Once onboard, we discovered that standard ships apparently don’t provide them, according to the website. This was conflicting information and obviously too late to resolve once we were already there. Again, the host was very accommodating and provided us with bath towels, which we really appreciated. The sailing & destinations After lunch and the initial briefing, we headed off to explore our first destination. The recommendations from the host about where to go, what to see and where to eat were really helpful. The actual sailing experience was fantastic. The swim stops were a real highlight, and stopping at different places gave us plenty of opportunities to explore and experience as much as possible. We had enough time in each destination to do our own thing, which we really enjoyed. One thing to be aware of is that the engine is noisy. On our first morning, it woke me at around 6am. I went looking for a coffee, only to discover that coffee wasn’t available until breakfast at 8:30am. Again, the staff were very kind and made me one, but it’s worth knowing if you’re an early riser! We didn’t take part in the group dinners or organised activities because we preferred to explore independently and partying wasn’t really our priority. This wasn’t an issue at all. The host was very accommodating and happy to give us recommendations and information about each destination. One of the original stops was changed because of personal circumstances affecting the captain. The replacement destination was lovely, but it’s worth knowing that the itinerary isn’t necessarily set in stone, so don’t get too attached to the places shown when booking. Food The food was another positive. I wouldn’t say the food we received looked quite like the pictures on the website, but it was still really enjoyable and delicious. Breakfast had a good variety — cereals, yoghurt, fruit, meats, cheeses and eggs prepared differently each day. Lunch was three courses and could include things like crisps and dips, wraps, a really tasty carbonara, followed by cake, ice cream or another baked dessert. There was plenty of choice and we were never left hungry. The staff The staff were lovely throughout the trip — friendly, chatty, helpful and very accommodating. Nothing seemed too much trouble when we had questions or needed something. Our particular trip was relatively quiet, with around 15 people onboard, and we were told previous trips had been much livelier. Personally, I think we were lucky with the smaller group. The boat can apparently sleep up to 32 people, but I honestly can’t imagine 32 people being particularly comfortable in the available space. With 15, it felt like enough. The tipping experience The one thing that really left a sour taste for me was the tipping at the end of the trip. We were reminded several times throughout the holiday about tipping, including through the WhatsApp group, and were told that envelopes would be available for tips for the tour guide and boat staff. The suggested amounts were also mentioned. The day before leaving, we had to settle our bar bill between 2–3pm, as well as pay the €40 tax that had to be added. When I went into the dining area to pay, there were two very visible tip boxes showing how much money was being put into them. While I was paying my bar bill, the lady then pointed out the tip boxes and asked about the tips directly. For me, this felt quite pressured and awkward, particularly with several members of staff also in the dining room at the time. I completely understand that tipping is an important part of the industry and that staff work hard, but having it repeatedly mentioned throughout the trip and then being asked directly, with the tip boxes in front of you, made me feel uncomfortable. I came away feeling a little disappointed that this was how the trip ended. I would much rather have felt that tipping was completely voluntary and left to the individual’s discretion without the repeated reminders and direct approach. Overall Giving this trip a star rating is actually quite difficult because the different parts of the experience vary so much. The boat itself would be around 3/5 — it is very dated, the cabins are extremely small and it definitely needs some renovation. The staff were 4/5 — genuinely lovely, helpful and accommodating. The food was 4/5 — good variety and enjoyable meals. But the destinations and sailing experience were the real reason this trip was worth it. Being able to sail between different places, swim in beautiful spots and have plenty of time to explore made the holiday. For £779 in the first week of September, I think overall we got good value for money. You definitely get what you pay for, though, and I would recommend going into it knowing that this is not a luxury sailing experience. The boat is basic and dated, the cabins are tiny, and there are a few things where the information provided before booking could be clearer. If you’re looking for a more affordable sailing adventure, are happy to compromise on accommodation and want to prioritise seeing different places, then I think it’s a great option. Just go prepared for the small cabins, bring your expectations down regarding the boat, and enjoy the destinations — because that’s where this trip really shines.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the sailing experience and destinations, and particularly appreciate your 4 star ratings for both our staff and the food onboard. We also appreciate your 3 star rating and feedback regarding the ship itself. As you mentioned, this is not a luxury sailing experience; your booking was on one of our Standard category ships, which is the most budget-friendly option within our Navigator cruises and offers more basic accommodation and amenities. Showering towels are not included within this category, as outlined in our Pre-Departure Information. For guests looking for a higher level of comfort, we offer ship categories with higher-quality amenities and additional inclusions, at a higher price point - such as the Ensuite and Premier ships. We’re pleased that overall you felt the trip represented good value for money and that the destinations and sailing experience were the real highlights of your week. Thank you again for travelling with us!
It was awesome we had a lot of fun, swim spots were awesome, the towns/cities were great. The crew were really easy to get along with and served quality tasting food. Only bad thing was the condition of the boat, it was clean don’t get me wrong, but the rooms were twice as hot as it was outside, (yes it was advertised there was no A/C) so there was no way to cool down and most people ending up sleeping outside on the deck during the night not using their rooms. And the shower amenities were pretty rough. We paid extra for an upper deck room thinking it would be cooler and less noisy, but it was the complete opposite, rooms downstairs were cooler and less noisy. I think if we had photos of the amenities and knew the condition of the rooms on the exact boat we were on, we wouldn’t have paid as much or gone at all. But don’t let that distract you from what made it worth while, all the people we met on the boat from guest to crew was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Thank you for your 4-star review! We’re so pleased to hear you had an awesome time overall and enjoyed the swim stops, destinations, food, and especially the crew and fellow travellers onboard. We appreciate your feedback regarding the ship facilities. You booked our Standard ship category, which is our most affordable option for budget-conscious travellers and features bunk-bed cabins, shared bathroom facilities and no air-conditioning. Images and specifications for each of our ship categories are available on our website to help highlight the differences between them, allowing guests to make an informed decision before booking with us. We also note in our FAQs under “What is the difference between Above and Lower Deck cabins?” that Lower Deck cabins can often be cooler and quieter than Above Deck cabins. We completely understand that everyone has different comfort preferences, and based on your feedback, we’d recommend considering one of our higher ship categories, such as Ensuite or Premier, for any future trip with us. Thanks again for travelling with us, and it’s great to hear that the people you met and experiences along the way made the trip so worthwhile!
Holiday overall was great. Only comments would be to possibly offer other options than just clubs every single night. Everyone understood we were doing a drinking cruise, however seven nights of clubs in a row is a lot! I would’ve loved to have clean linens or at least clean towels offered to us, given that being below deck nothing dried and became very gross mildewy smelling. Lastly, if they would just include what they were feeding us each day, I think that would be helpful. I didn’t have many problems with the food, however being hungover sea sick and then handed mystery food made it a little harder to trust. Just announcing what the meal is would’ve made it a lot better! Otherwise great trip, lots of fun. Just wish swim spots were longer!

My holiday was a memorable experience with my best friend, we had many laughs with new friends and crew members. Marin was amazing, very friendly, professional and on-time, he made sure the day ran very smoothly. I would highly recommend sail Croatia navigator cruise if you are a young individual wanting party and make new friends.

Sail Croatia was such an unreal experience. We had the most fun week and met so many new friends. The staff on our boat the Mlini were so helpful and accomodating, and our host nour was the best. She made the week so fun and smooth and not stressful for us at all. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun time and people who enjoy partying!

My experience on Tuna boat was mainly attributable to Toni, our rep. Toni was highly informative about the history and activities of each destination. His organisation of group dinners really helped for us to bond and make friends. Not only was he a rep, but he was also a great friend to all of us. I give all my praise to Toni!

I did really enjoy my holiday however I and the rest of my boat were a bit confused why we, as a party boat, would dock and stay in towns with either no clubs or where noise/time restrictions impacted our time and experience greatly. Our crew on big blue were always so fun and gracious. The rep, Diego, put lots of effort to get our group bonding by organising family dinners and always showed up for us, whether that was searching the town for place with working gelato, taking people to multiple pharmacy trips as well as the hospitals.

Average The biat was not like advertised and had many issues My too bunk was not working so we had to share a double bed, the bathroom had lots of plumbing issues including smell coming from taps and brown water leaks in bedrooms. We didnt even get to go to hvar wich was one of the main stops and instead didnt dock and anchored in the ocean for the whole day and no one was allowed to get off and no solution was made.

Thank you for taking the time to review us and share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. After reviewing our internal reports, we were unable to find any record of concerns regarding a leak or any plumbing issues in your cabin. As outlined in our pre-departure information, we have a clear onboard reporting process to ensure that any issues can be addressed as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, as these concerns were not reported to your Onboard Representative during the trip, our team was not given the opportunity to investigate or resolve them while you were onboard. Our Captains work hard to provide the best possible experience based on weather and port conditions and at times, the itinerary and port locations may need to change during the week as advertised. Upon checking with our Operations team, we were pleased that even though due to port availability you were docked in Stari Grad, a bus transfer to Hvar Town was organised giving everyone free time to explore Hvar Town. We do appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback, as it helps us continue to review and improve our services.
Had so much fun with a great bunch of people. Captain + crew were awesome. The facilities on the premium navigator cruise are actually really decent and surprisingly spacious. Worth the extra money, especially for AC. Side note; you will end up paying as much as the initial cost so be aware. However many of the daily activities are worth. Shout out Lauren for being an awesome rep.

We had the most amazing time on sail Croatia! Our trip manager was lovely! My only comments would be that on the trip itself there was a lot of hidden costs (bus rides paid in cash, taxes, tips, etc) so we spend significantly more than planned.

Bloody brilliant!!!!!! Nikola was the most amazing rep we could have asked for! So kind, caring and knowledgeable. Very thorough and organised, always going above and beyond to make us feel safe and looked after. He gave us lots of recommendations and suggestions which made our trip even better! An amazing tour guide, friend and host! Shoutout to Darren & Nathan for the amazing meals and banter! My friends and I will miss the sail Croatia team dearly.

Overall my holiday was incredible. The itinerary of the trip was well thought out and the places we visited absolutely beautiful. Our guide Josip was so friendly, inviting and informative. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience on board as well as in every town we visited. I really appreciated how he involved himself in the group and was a central part to everyone getting to know each other so well. The crew of our ship TVRDI were also a highlight, they were friendly, helpful and hard working and we all left feeling so grateful to have got to know them. My only negative experience on sail was the pricing of drinks, activities and recommended restaurants. As young people this experience is already expensive and while I believe the sail itself is well worth it there could be adjustments made to make it more affordable. I would’ve loved to have free or decently priced walking tours included in each place to learn more about the history, culture, and stories.

The guide and crew were great. Was cool to see so many lovely spots in Croatia. The excursions were fun! Food was great! Icebreakers/group games would have been good to make it less awkward and easier for those that are more introverted. Would have been good to have water available at all times.

Make travel from boat to club/port/city centre etc included in the overall fair, or inform customer of these costs, pre-departure. Give a selection of restaurants for the customers to vote on to eat together. The restaurants chosen for use were very expensive were there were cheaper options available. Have the BBQ dinner included in the price paid for the week, not as an additional expense.
- Ethan, 23/07/2025 15:25, Travelled with Friend/s
Dear Ethan, Thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us this summer - we are so pleased to have you on board! Yes, your onboard Representative will certainly make recommendations on where to eat your evening meals. Guests are given the freedom to dine at the suggested locations or choose somewhere else if they prefer. Additional costs are detailed in the Pre-Departure Information sent to guests one week prior to departure. It is important to us that we set the right expectations for travellers, ensuring they can budget appropriately. Please rest assured that guest feedback is very important to us, and the suggestion on the BBQ will be passed on to the relevant teams so that we can make improvements where necessary. Thank you for a fantastic week in Croaita!
Had an amazing experience on the Big Blue, Francesca was our host and a fantastic one at that! Had a good mix of solo travelers and some groups of friends but in the end we all became a big family. The staff and crew were outstanding and really made the atmosphere inviting, they knew who we were by first name after day 3. Food was incredible and the boat was kept super clean. Couldnt reccomend it more!

I was on the Afrodita ship with Nora as our guide and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Food was great, good service and was with a good group of people. Only thing was wish we had more time to swim than what we got. The triple room below deck was very small for 3 people so would recommend going top deck or splitting groups.

Hi there, thank you for your review — we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your week on Afrodita and that your Rep Nora, along with the food and service contirbuted to this.

Sail Croatia was a fantastic way to see the country at an affordable price. Firstly, I got extremely lucky with my guide, Noura. You can tell how well-versed, experienced, and caring she was in every way. I do not think my review would be the same if I had anyone else. The crew on my ship greatly improved the experience as well, the bartender Mateo was extremely fun and flexible, the chef was super talented and accommodating, and the sailor/captain were very friendly and felt like a part of the group. Overall, I’d come again but I would never choose a triplet. Realistically, it is not a triplet room and should not be advertised as such. The downstairs rooms were more spacious as doubles, literally. Claiming the lower bed is viable for two people isn’t ok, and especially frustrating since we had a smaller group and empty beds that could’ve been offered. Also, the party bus should be chartered. Everyone agreed it was a money grab that the company definitely could afford.

Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Sail Croatia! We’re delighted to hear you had a fantastic time exploring the coastline and that Noura, Mateo and the rest of your crew helped make your trip so memorable. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to them. We're sorry to hear that the Triple room didn't meet your expectations. To help set expectations clearly, our website advises: “On some ships, we also have triple cabins available for guests that are travelling as a group of three and would like to share a cabin. Triple cabins consist of a double bed and a single bunk, and we provide a 10% discount per person for these cabin types. In some Triple cabins, double beds may be slightly smaller to accommodate the additional single bed, meaning these cabins may not be suitable for travellers that require more space. If you would like to book a triple cabin please let us know and we can check availability when you enquire.” All extra costs are indicated in the itineraries on our website, to help customers have an idea of what to expect for their cruise. We hope to welcome you in the future!
Firstly I would like to point out I have absolutely no issues with the staff whatsoever - they each deserve 5 stars as they were all so welcoming and helpful throughout the trip. Special mention for Marin, the best host we could have asked for arranged some great nights and made sure everyone was included. My main issue was that the week was poor value for money, the food was ok but I have to mention the BBQ night, 25 euro for what can only be described as a car crash. When I was offered it I was expecting a real bbq on the port but no - the meats (poor quality I’ll add) were grilled in the usual kitchen not on any sort of bbq - genuinely left me feeling ripped off. Drinks on the boat are extremely expensive for what they are, poor quality sprits other than real JD, and still charging full price. Excursions are overpriced we did the canyoning and it was not worth 75 euros at all. Any transfers to ports clubs or bars are always charged and EVERYTHING is cash only - disappointing.

This trip was seriously one of the best experiences ever! We had an amazing crew, a great group of people and we visited some of the most beautiful places! Our ship was so much nicer and more spacious than we expected, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing on those hot days! The swim stops were so beautiful and refreshing and exploring the islands and towns made for a perfect balance of a relaxing and activity filled trip! Dino and the rest of our crew were amazing, they worked so hard to make sure we had the best experience and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Dino was fantastic, he was so friendly and welcoming and it felt as though he genuinely cared about us, taking our concerns seriously and taking care of any issues that came up.

There’s wasn’t as many activities as I though there would be. The food wasn’t great and there was no food to snack on aka chips. I feel like since the towels weren’t drying they probably needed to be changed more often. My towel was wet all the time when showering. Sanja was great, crew were all fabulous. Sanja was well informative on each island and was very honest in which activity was better to do which was great.

I definately think our guide Toni made us having the best time ever, he was really good at making the group become one and making sure that we were all having a great time. I find it admiring to see how quick we was at always answering our texts and questions whether it was late at night or during the day and he always made sure everone was safe and good especially during the party nights. He was a real and honest guide who made sure that our money was spent right and we didn't waste anything, giving us good recommendations of what to do see and eat and what not to do. I wanna thank him and sail croatia for a fantastic week!!

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves sailing through the open water and swimming in the most beautiful spots. The boat was charming and the cabins (and en-suite) were clean and spacious enough. We went on numerous excursions (top 3 - canyoning, wine tasting and bike ride) but thought most were overpriced (€20-80) and could have gotten cheaper local deals. Additionally, there were a number of unexpected and unavoidable transfers, taxis/buses to pay for (€6-10 each). Meals on board were tasty, except if you were vegetarian (don’t expect any variety). The crew was polite, yet did not engage with us. The owner, Marjan warmly welcomed us on his ship, made the best pina-coladas & was a sniper at beer pong. Our rep Luiis was the friendliest and funniest guide who made sure we enjoyed ourselves every step of the way. He excels at relating to people and trying to meet guest expectations. Would sail with Marijan and Luiis again, but not convinced of the benefit of the Sail Croatia brand.

Hi Michael,a, thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your positive experiences on our trip. We're delighted that you enjoyed sailing around the Adriatic, swimming, the excursions, and the hospitality of Marjan and Luiis. Our Navigator cruises are aimed at those aged 18-39 years, so there will be travellers onboard within this age range. We aim to ensure a good mix on all our ships, athough it depends on who has booked any given date, taking into consideration solo travellers, genders, groups, and couples. Details about excursions are found on our website and the inclusions and further information are provided in our pre-departure materials. Our Sales Team is always available to answer any questions you may have to help with budgeting purposes. We thank you for your comments and we hope that you were able to enjoy your time overall.
I had friends who previously did sail Croatia and told me about all these amazing parties and events . When I got on board and asked my host about these she informed me that the Cave Party in Makasaka wasn’t open and wouldn’t be happening (this was one of the reasons I booked with this company) there was no communication from the company prior to our trip to inform us of this. Even though they knew it wasn’t open as it was start of season. There also was no theme night on board the ship which we were under the impression there would be since it is quite commonly posted on social media amongst participants. We didn’t know anything that was happening until the day of which was stressful and made taking money out become a daily task. I do not like the fact that everything had to be in cash and there was all these extra hidden charges on excursions that were not explained before we left! Overall pretty disappointed in the sail Croatia company. Enjoyed my time but wasn’t as much fun.

Hi Chloe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and we appreciate your 5-star rating for the Rep, Boat in General, Meals served and Crew. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time on the cruise. We are disheartened to hear of your disappointment regarding the Cave Party and theme night. As the themed parties are through external providers, we do not have control over their operating times or schedules as these can change at any time. We understand that dealing with daily cash requirements can be frustrating, and we will strive to provide clear communication and transparency in these areas by highlighting additional costs on our website and in our pre-departure information.Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will use it to enhance our services and ensure a better experience for future travelers. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that you still enjoyed your time despite any issues experienced.
Boat was a bit ordinary and not what’s in the photos and videos. Food was okay. Advertised that dinner isn’t included so assumed find something ourselves however it was organised every night which felt like we had strict time lines and did not have much freedom to explore. The dinners organised were overpriced and average. I don’t want to be eating Japanese on my first night in Croatia. I want traditional food and seafood!!! The night clubs we were taken too were small and pretty average and some overpriced!! 11€ for one drink is stupid. I also was charged wrong prices for my drinks on board, I ended up having to pay 30€ extra for drinks when I was just charged wrong. Ceili was amazing though! Best rep we could’ve asked for and she made the week so special! Have made friends for life

Great group of people and some awesome experiences. Not all of them were running as it wasn't peak season and we weren't notified about this until the day of. In a whole it was a good time but communication could have been improved

We were on the "Big Blue" ship, and to start with the only negative, the ship was smaller then we anticipated. The Navigator Cruise has 2 or 3 ships you can be put on depending on the price you pay. I would describe the accommodation has a hostel on a boat. However, this did not stop us all from having the best week, I would actually say it helped! Everyone was always together having chats, listening to music on the top deck, jumping from the top deck and making a memorable week for us. Lastly the crew and tour rep were all incredible!!! Highly Recommended 🥳

Our guide Anita did an amazing job and displayed a lot of care and made sure that everyone was comfortable and were having a good time. Anton and his crew were extremely welcoming towards us. The itinerary was well thought out and locations were unreal.

Sail Croatia was amazing! Trip of a lifetime! I do recommend! Although it was very expensive, the day activities and offered meals on board are very over priced. Although it all is a lot of fun and over all I would do it again!

Had a good time on sail and enjoyed my time sailing through Croatia. Had a great group on board and an amazing sail crew on the boat. However, we got unlucky with wind and rain while sailing which limited swimming and excursions. Also got unlucky with a tour guide who showed little interest in making it a good time on the boat. He had no sense of fun and poor organisation and communication of daily activities. In my time travelling through Europe being on several short and long tours, he was the most disappointing tour guide I’ve ever had. Overall, I was very thankful to have a great group of other travellers on board who were keen to have fun and make best of an average situation.
- Courtney , 06/09/2023 11:01, Travelled with Friend/s
Hi Courtney, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are pleased to know you enjoyed your time in Croatia with your fellow travellers and amazing crew. The safety and well-being of our customers is important to us, and we understand that weather-related itinerary changes are made at times, which can result in limited swimming time - we do hope you were able to enjoy some of the amazing local beaches during the week. We are disheartened to read your comments regarding your Rep as we pride ourselves on having the best local and experienced Reps that provide helpful information and recommendations to enhance your journey, and we are pleased your rep was rated 4.4 out of 5 stars for your week. We thank you for all your comments and we hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable cruise experience in the future.
Loved all the locations and met heaps of friends. Food and chef was great! However crew themselves weren’t the most enthusiastic about the trip particularly our guide/organiser. But you get out what you put in. Overall had a great time!

Had a great, rowdy group which made the week really good and entertaining! So much fun and great memories made! The crew was so lovely, food was yummy! We had 4 deck chairs between the 34 of us and 1 floaty. There were also no spare towels when they blew away while hung up. Those were the only downsides. But overall the girls and I had fun.
- Leanna, 25/08/2023 05:02, Travelled with Friend/s
Had a great week on Sail on the boat Afrodita! Great way to see beautiful parts of Croatia and meet people from all walks of life. The crew and tour manager were all excellent. The bar tab method could be improved significantly and at least one room clean should be provided during this period. Would definitely recommend but some room for improvement.
- Nouzar, 24/08/2023 12:44, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia was one of the best weeks of my life. We had an amazing group that was all super welcoming and ready for anything. Barb was an exceptional guide that was always smiling and willing to have a laugh with us. The crew on board worked so hard and did not stop cleaning up after us and making sure our drinks were full. Only down side is I didn’t realise how expensive the week would be. Bar tabs, excursions and tips and the end. The week itself is already not cheap and then there was a whole lot of cots that really added up. However, that is just small part. You can make money back but the experience was well worth every penny!

We were travelling with 7 friends on a boat of 30. The crew and staff were wonderful and the itinerary was amazing. If you plan on spending a relaxing 7 days this Sail isn’t for you, it’s a more of a 7 day bender with no let up. Our fellow sail mates were great fun and people on other boats also made the trip one to remember. However, the rooms and bathrooms were tiny, the free breakfast is irrelevant as no one is ever awake for it and the lunches were what I would describe as a 3rd world counties school camp. I would definitely recommend trying a KJU while you’re in Croatia!

being able to get new clean towels for showering would of been good as the rooms and bathrooms get so disgusting especially since there are no curtains on the showers so water gets everywhere. i didn’t expect the drinks to be as expensive as they were. the crew was great regardless of these factors.

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to review our cruise. We are really pleased to hear you had a great time onboard, thank you. We understand that towels can get dirty during the cruise, upon request the crew will be able to provide an additional towel. We understand budgeting is important for guests, so we have a few readily available blogs available on our website which details approximate drink prices onboard our ships. Great to hear that these issues didn't detract from your overall enjoyment on the cruise. Thank you for choosing to travel with us this season and we hope to have you join us again in the future.
Im just curious where my $1700AUD actually went. I understand maintenance, docking, wages etc of the ship is probably more than I anticipate. But the rooms were tiny, no space for luggage. Food was atrocious, i didnt bother eating it half the time. It would Not have Been Hard to offer a shower towel, or spare linen. I slept in my own sweat, salt and dirt for 7 days. We also had to pay for all transfers (water taxi, buses etc) even when I saw they were affiliated with Sail Croatia. Don’t get me wrong, I had an amazing week that I will never forget - but it’s the other customers on the boat that have made the trip memorable, not the company Sail Croatia itself. If all 30 people on that boat paid $1700AUD, that is over $50,000 AUD, which you are making every week. And for what? We still had to tip all the staff on the boat After as well because they rely on Tips. Like I said, the people on this trip made it worth it, not the company. Thanks for a fun week, lots to be improved on though

Hi Erica, thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us this summer. It is wonderful to read you had an amazing week on board and made some friends for life! I am quite disappointed to see some points did not live up to your expectations. Inclusions and any additional costs can be found on the Navigator cruise page, your pre-departure information and the FAQs section on the website to allow guests to budget ahead of time. You joined us on board a Standard ship which is our most budget-friendly option for a Navigator cruise and it is the cheapest price in the market. Our Standard ships offer shared bathroom facilities, so showering towels are not provided. We have our 'ship types' displayed via our website so guests can view images and details about each ship category. This gives in-depth information of the amenities to ensure that our advertising accurately represents the accommodations provided. Our higher category ships such as the Premier and VIP Navigator ships provide more space onboard, ensuite bathrooms and AC, so we highly recommend checking this prior to booking your cabin to avoid disappointment. Thank you again for joining is in Croatia Erica and we would love to welcome you on board again soon.
Our guide Dino made this experience unforgettable. Amazing dude with great knowledge

The people and staff on boat made my experience one of the best weeks of my life the activity’s were so much fun and the islands and towns we went into were beautiful even the group dinners were amazing but the only let down was the rooms on boat I’m not sure if all rooms were like that but to even class it as a room was ridiculous me and my sister could barely walk into our room before hitting the bunk beds, the so called “on suite” we paid extra for was a shower head over the toilet, it was so gross, the pipe works in the bathroom smelt so bad we tried to create airflow by opening the door but then the aircon we paid 50 euro for would turn off as soon as the door opened we had no space to open our suit cases let alone go climb onto the top bunk. After talking to people on board learning what we paid for a room like that I’m so disappointed. this is sail Croatias fault for false advertising you show the big white boat with so much space but that’s not what we got

This gives indepth information on the amenities to ensure that our advertising accurately represents the accommodations provided. Your feedback is important to us so thank you for all your input.

Thank you for your 4 star review! We are so pleased to hear you had the most amazing week! We appreciate your constructive feedback regarding our representative. We have in place a robust system for training, monitoring, evaluating performance, and providing mentorship to our representatives, aiming to maintain the highest industry standards. Please rest assured your feedback has been passed on to our Operations Manager who will provide further training as applicable. We thank you again and hope to see you with us again sometime soon!
Not only did we have the most amazing group of people who are now lifelong friends we had the most amazing crew on board. Ante our captain made us all feel very safe and comfortable. Gloria was a darling and always made sure we were fed and happy. Faruk was very knowledgeable and recommended some great activities for all of us within our budgets. Marin and Kula were so lovely and kind and always did Thier best to accommodate our needs. Boshco is an amazing chef and I have been missing his cooking since i left the boat. Will be bringing my friends who missed out back again next year and we will hopefully be onboard Vosicia again. Thank you all for such an amazing week. Xxxx

Quite a few things. The boat was disappointing. It looked nothing like the pictures and when we met people from another navigator boat who paid the same price we found out their boat was as advertised where as ours was not. Our boat was the oldest and was falling apart, the day that it rained, water was leaking through lights. Very concerning. Drinks were more expensive than advertised We also missed out on half of the excursions due to unscheduled changes in the itinerary and missed staying at two locations. We were only made aware this would happen because of weather but this was not the case here. The changes were very sudden and not well communicated and as a result we missed half of the excursions. Quite disappointing. We also found that on some excursions we were charged more than if you booked directly with the company. When we are already paying so much it was very disappointing to find out. The swimming, food and Croatia was beautiful, just unfortunate about the rest.
- Aysha, 05/07/2023 14:28, Travelled with Friend/s
Hi Aysha, Thank you for your review. I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the swimming, food and Croatia as a whole. Upon checking the feedback you submitted, we are pleased to know you would recommend us! However, we are disheartened to hear of your disappointment with some aspects. The boat you were on is advertised on our website and is in the main video for Standard ships. Furthermore, we follow strict Health and Safety procedures and each ship is inspected by the Registry of Shipping and certified each year before the start of the season. Upon checking our internal reports, I couldn't find anything relating to leaks - had we been made aware, this would have been resolved immediately. The drinks prices are estimated only, and up to date prices are available onboard. Our internal reports confirm that all guests were made aware of the slight itinerary change, and the boat had visited all destinations outlined on the itinerary, however Mljet was replaced with Korcula due to port restrictions. Like most travel operators, we include our markup in the overall package to provide a convenient and seamless experience for our guests. We hope that these issues didn't detract from your overall enjoyment.
Had such a good time, the crew were amazing and very friendly

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your understanding that we have no control over the weather conditions, but we do acknowledge the impact it had on the activities during your trip. We value your feedback, and I will promptly forward your comments to our operations team.
I had really high expectations going into this trip, as everyone who I’d spoken to around me who’d been on it had said it is one of the best things they have ever done. The first few days were good we didn’t see heaps and didn’t go out to many places as our guides recommendations weren’t great. Then once we got to Dubrovnik it went down hill. Our guide go angry at us for going out to the same club as them, he was miss treating his trainee. Speaking unprofessional and inappropriately to all members of the sail boat, he apologised for his behaviour but then had to apologise a second time in Dubrovnik again for acting in a similar way. I was extremely upset that I had played close to $2000 aud and the person who is meant to be making this trip amazing has not only apologised twice because of his poor behaviour but also given poor recommendations and service. He didn’t even say goodbye on out last day.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with information about your experience with us. We pride ourselves on having the best local, knowledgeable and helpful reprentatives and as you had high expectations, we are sorry to hear that our guide did not display the customer service experience that we are proud to maintain.

Whilst we are unable to advise on outcomes here, if any further support and training is required to ensure such experiences do not occur, this will be actioned immediately. Again, we thank you for your review and we do hope that you enjoyed all other aspects of your cruise with us.
Had an awesome time, our boat crew and tour rep were incredible! They took really good care of us and helped us navigate the terrible weather we had for the first 4 days of Sail. Would honestly do it again it was so much fun, the group we had was amazing. I just wouldn't do it in May so the weather would be better. We could only do 3 out of 12 of our optional activities because of weather and a lot of bars/clubs were closed still. Our crew definately made sure to look out for us though and make sure our time was still fun #ClubCorridor

Hi there, thank you for your review of your Navigator cruise with us this season on board Marija Magdalena. It's great to see you had a fantastic trip with us exploring Croatia and thank you so much for your kind words on Aoife, we will be sure to pass your comments onto the Team! Thank you so much.
The sail itself was amazing, not only were the crew and our host Mia so welcoming and attentive, there was plenty to see! The food on board pleasantly surprised me and we had a swim stop each day. The extra activities are loads of fun however some of them do overlap so you have to choose which one you prefer. If you are looking for more of a party boat definitely book in the peak season as I booked late august and we had a few chillers but that didn’t stop us from having a ball. Overall a great week, thanks again!

Sail Croatia was really good, great weather and a lot of place to visit. For a big group like I was travelling with I would of rather the rep introduced us all to each other. By not doing this we didn’t really get to know each other until the last night. Where as this should of been the first night, I didn’t know half the peoples names until later on in the trip. Crew was so nice, captain was great got to know a lot about the sail and how it all works. However apart from that it was good!

Was a good mix of people on our boat and had a great time. Food was good and plenty of it. The only downfall would be all the extra costs that I incurred. Was very expensive to eat and drink off board and the extra costs onboard you don’t hear about (unless your into reading the fine print). You have to pay for AC, port taxes, etc. would recommend to a friend but letting them know you will need to be prepared to spend.

Hi Andrew - thank you for your review. We appreciate your comments in regards to the ventilation. I can see you booked our Premier ship which includes air-conditioning, ensuite and spacious cabins. Our chefs aim to provide a variety of meals using fresh local produce, whilst we understand this is not to everyone's individual taste, we are sorry to hear you were disappointed with the meals served and your comments will be passed on to the Operations Team. We aim to get a good mix of travellers onboard our boats, taking into consideration age, gender, nationality and group makeup. However, this can vary and heavily depends on who has booked for any given departure. Thank you again for your review!
Klara was such an incredible guide, always willing to help, show us the best places and always had a smile on her face. She was super welcoming and made the trip great. The crew were also awesome! I wish the boat had aircon in all rooms as my friends didn’t sleep in the heat, it would also be great to have access to water at all times (not lock to water tank away at night!) Over all, an awesome week!

Well organised. Happy with the price. Made seeing Croatia very easy. Tour guide Dino was great. He was friendly, engaging, helpful, shared his knowledge and would explain were to spend money or where you would be ripped off. The breakfast and lunch is a great thing to have on the boat, loved having this, however the food was average. Had risotto 1 day for lunch and it was inedible, the rice was not cooked it was crunchy. The soups on the boat were nice. Alcohol on the body is expensive, 40 Kuna for an apple cider when you can get the same thing at a convenience store for 12 Kuna.

My friend & I were on the Marija Magdalena boat Split rtn Splt tour The whole experience was great, the crew absolutely fantastic, so chill, easy going & fun. And the food was great. Destinations were absolutely stunning. It really is one of the most beautiful countries. Our tour guide was Ioana, genuinely such a lovely person & exceptional at her job. Gave us detailed activities every day via the WhatsApp group with all the info needed.. I was lucky enough to spend my Bday on the boat which all the crew made really special with cake, ballons, banners & drinks. The ship itself had great facilities such as lounge chairs, outdoor eating areas ect The only negative thing I have to say is- 2 of our friends canceled on the day of the tour, we asked if one of us could take the spare room. It came back from the office that this was not possible which was dissapointing. During a pandemic i don't see why this should have been an issue. Experience would've been 5* if they allowed this.

The Sail Croatia was a great experience and a good way to travel around many of the Croatian islands and cities, however it was disappointing that given our tour commenced after Oct 1, many activities were closed. Some warning about this would be good to ensure expectations are met. Apart from this, the tour was fun, our leader did her best to give us brief historical overviews of Croatia as well as the various towns we visited and it was overall a positive experience.

Hi Sarah, thanks for the review - we really appreciate it! We believe that the best way to truly enjoy the Dalmatian coast is by ship. In October the season is starting to wind down which means that not all bars and restaurants are open in each location, but October also brings some great benefits such as less crowds in tourist destinations and lower cruise prices! We would really love to have you on board again in the future. Thank you again Sarah for your review.
Mumma T was so nice, energetic and welcoming! She was very good as she knew a lot about Croatia and had great recommendations and also shared interesting facts and information of the history of places we visited. The rest of the crew was also very good and kind to us all. The food was great we were all well fed and it was super tasty. Most of all being able to have everything planned for each day and being able to relax on the boat was really nice.

We got on the Big Blu for the 5 day Navigator cruise. It was a lot of fun with a nice balance of activities, partying and relaxing at the swim stops. The boat was kept tidy and clean every day thanks to the boat crew. The crew were very sociable and great fun to hang out with. Shout out to Marko, Hicela and Mateo. I can see a lot of work goes into the smooth running of the sailing week. Would definitley return to the Big Blu.

Hi Tanja - thanks for your review of your Navigator cruise with us this season on board Big Blue, it is great that you'd join us again, we look forward to having you! We do true our best to a good balance of partying, socialising and relaxing, so we are pleased to read you liked the balance of the cruise. Many thanks for adding to an awesome atmosphere on board!
Had an absolute ball, Croatia is truely breathtaking! The ship itself was awesome. Thank god for Rosa, Marko and Robi being so amazing because the other half and the tour leader sucked and were creepy. Ivan watched over me as I did my first review, making me uncomfortable and not being able to say how i truely felt, while questioning the generous 3 rating I gave him. He seemed like he didn’t want to be there and made a few of the girls uncomfortable. Sorry to be so negative, but I made some great friends and enjoyed then destinations.

Hi Kirsten, Thank you for your 4-star review. We are pleased to hear you had an absolute blast on our cruise and found the ship and the destinations, simply awesome - it's really great to hear. Your comments regarding Rosa, Marko and Robi will be passed on to them, thanks. We are sorry to read your comments about Ivan. We pride ourselves on having the best guides, who are professional, friendly and helpful, but also have a passion for their country and culture, so we are really disappointed to read your comments, especially as Ivan has received an average of 4 star ratings. We have highlighted this to his Manager for future improvements, thank you. We're glad you got to make some friends on your journey and we hope to see you again real soon!
Group leader Tea was great- quite fun and informative on each place we stopped at whilst also making the effort to mingle with us and make our trip the best possible. Only downside was my lower deck cabin among with other people’s being very hot at night and the fan didn’t work with also not much ventilation down there but other then that I would recommend the sail to others.
- Isaac, 09/09/2019 06:11, Travelled with Friend/s
Thanks so much for your review! It is amazing to hear that Tea was such a great Representative for you and your group. I'll be sure to pass your comments onto our Operations Manager regarding the Lower Deck cabins. Thank you for your recommendation!

Thanks for your review and for joining us this season! :)
Split return was amazing! The landscape was beautiful sailing along for the week, we partied at great places every night and the food was more than average considering the tiny kitchen they had to work with. We also paid the extra to be above deck but the fan in our room did nothing with the heat and during the afternoon the sun would beam down on our rooms making it impossible to sleep. I’d recommend going below deck because it is so much cooler down there at night. My only downer would be that out main tour guide was a bit lazy with the group. Compared to previous organised tours, it felt like he would just tell us where to go but had no involvement with us feeling a little disconnected.
- Gabby , 26/08/2019 08:31, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you for your 5 star review of your cruise with us this season on board Tuna - one of our Ensuite ships. It is great to hear you had such an awesome week on board. Thank you!
Cannot recommend Sail Croatia more! It definitely exceeded all expectations and I’ve left with a tight nit family of 30 absolutely amazing humans. Our lead Duje was great at giving honest, helpful advice and the whole Crew always attended to our needs!

Thanks for your 5* rating. So glad you had a good time with us and we will make sure the crew get their shout out!
In all I had a great time on the Split Return - Navigator tour. We chose to go Premier and I was really happy with the boat and accommodation - very clean and spacious. Initially and at times during the week however, I found Sail Croatia staff to be unfriendly and rude. There were times staff burst in on our cabin which I found to be an invasion of privacy. Food was generally okay - would be good to have a menu provided for the week. The onboard BBQ was a highlight though - the food was great!! Should also not that the vast majority of passengers are from Australia (32 of 36 passengers on my boat) - obviously not an issue, just a slight surprise!
- Kate, 19/08/2019 16:34, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time on our Navigator cruise, the accommodation and found the food to be a highlight! However, we are really disappointed to hear that some of the staff were unprofessional at times. This will be passed on to the Operations Manager - thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our cruises are popular with Antipodeans as well as travellers from other parts of the world. Sounds as though your cruise and departure date was well sought after my our Australian travellers😊.
Probably would have made it more clearer how much the drinks were and felt a bit cheated on the tab. Personally don’t think I drank as much as they had written down but I guess that’s their way of making money, then getting the cold shoulder for not tipping them..? Overall good experience but that’s with the other people on the boat. If you do plan on doing sail Croatia, make sure you’re not on a boat with Zak.
- Sed, 19/08/2019 09:08, Travelled with Friend/s
Thanks so much for your review. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with some aspects of the cruise. Our rep Zak has received raving reviews this season, so we are surprised to read your comments here. In regards to the bar tab, you are welcome to request a copy of this daily for budgeting purposes and to keep track of consumption. Tipping is optional and at your discretion and in no way should be pressured. We are glad you enjoyed some fun in the sun and had an enjoyable overall experience, we just hope that these issues didn't detract from your Croatian experience and we thank you again for your comments which will be addressed accordingly.
Ela and the crew made the sail so enjoyable wouldn’t of been the same without them

Thank you so much - we will pass your comments on to Ela and the crew!
When booking the sail I informed them about our dietary requirements when on the boat the staff had no idea about my dietary requirements. The staff were very helpful and accommodated to me but I think it is very poor communication from the sales staff who we booked through to the staff on the ship.
- Anna, 14/08/2019 10:56, Travelled with Friend/s
Hi there and thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear the crew accommodated your dietary requirements and you were able to enjoy more of the foods you can eat daily. I have checked our records, and can see that your dietary requirements were noted and passed on to the crew via the Sales Team. We are sorry to hear that the crew were not aware of these requirements and we will be looking into this further. Having a look at your feedback for the week, we are really happy to see that you rated us 5 stars for everything and 4 stars for your lunch. We hope that this didn't detract from your overall experience on the cruise. Thank you.
Pros: Met plenty of great people on our boat, swim stops in beautiful locations, scenic locations visited and clubs on offer for the north route. Cons: Expensive (Bar prices very expensive comparative to on land options considering you would rather sit on the boat and drink, maybe some more happy hour specials on popular drinking options not just the already expensive options.) (Excursion prices outrageous especially in comparison to the prices offered by other tour agencies on land.)
- Matt, 12/08/2019 22:04, Travelled with Friend/s
Hi there and thank you for your review. We are really happy to know you enjoyed meeting like-minded travellers on your cruise and enjoyed the wonderful swim stops and scenic locations. We appreciate your comments on the bar prices and this is something we will pass on to the Operations Manager, highlighting more happy hour specials. We try to keep our prices competitive and offer our excursions as an optional activity during the week. We hope that overall you enjoyed your week in Croatia, thank you.
The crew was not the friendliest or nicest to majority of passengers on the boat. The amount of tips they expect at the end is ridiculous. If they want tips they should provide better service. They need a better variety of food. You aren’t allowed to bring snacks on and they don’t have any on board. The actual sail was the best week of my life. You go to some amazing places and meet some of the best people. I would do it again but i know what to expect next time.

Daniel was a fantastic host and represented the company extremely well. I had a great time and all the crew onboard were really nice. Bartender Ivana was always cheerful and full of life. Chef Igor was a great cook and a very friendly person. While I had limited interactions with the sailors, they were both very nice when I did see them. The boat itself was lacking in some areas. The toilets always had a terrible smell. I understand that sewage systems onboard are not great however the smell in our toilet at all times was unbearable. It was no fault of the company or people on board, but something to consider in the future. All in all, the trip was great!
- Matthew, 09/08/2019 17:15, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you so much for your review - we are really pleased to hear you enjoyed your overall experience on our cruse and found your host Daniel to be an important part of this experience.

Thanks again for providing us with your review and we hope that these issues in your cabin didn't detract from your overall experience!
Get a captain that actually likes young people seeing as it is a cruise for youth and partying. Staff members should be happy and willing to serve us on the boat, not treat it like its a hassle. When major stops are missed, equal opportunities or activities should be planned instead rather than wasting days at the same ports. The trip was disappointing.
- Abby, 05/08/2019 05:38, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you for your review. The captain and ship have sailed our Navigator cruises for several years, so we are disappointed to read your comments. Having a look through our rigorous reports, I can see that in Korcula the ship experience an electrical failure in the morning and was repaired by midday - this resulting in the ship missing out on Mljet. Your representative had organised a walk through the city in Korcula and as a gesture all guests onboard received a free BBQ. We hope that you enjoyed other aspects of the cruise and we thank you again.
The facilities, people and crew were everything i expected - sometimes even more! However I had hoped the activities were better explained and organised. I also hoped the food was much better, as I saw many images on Sail Croatia's social media which looked much better than what we got. But most meals were tasty. One thing i did not expect was how late we sometimes arrived on the islands, but again, i can understand that too, so was fine with it. I would just warn others not to expect to do/see too much on the islands as there often isn't much time at all between arrival, dinner and going out. Nonetheless - an experience I won't forget! Thank you :)

The trip was awesome, really enjoyed visiting the islands and the crew on the boat definitely added to a really great vibe. The only thing is drinks are a bit pricey to be fair their basically regular pub prices but otherwise was still a great time.

Thank you for your review. There are a couple of points in your review that I just need to clarify for other travellers considering booking with us. We are sorry to hear of the issues mentioned. We have a very rigorous process in place for handling any such issues that may arise, and we will effectively resolve these immediately if we are made aware of the situation. Upon checking our reports, I cannot find any incident being raised regarding the bathroom, wifi, fans and electricity. In saying this, we will be raising these points to the Operations Manager for future improvements . Having a look at the feedback provided, we thank you for giving us 5-stars for your cabin overall and would recommend us to others, thank you. We hope these issues didn't detract from your overall experience.
Really enjoyed meeting new people and exploring new places. The cruise was well-paced and we had plenty of time to see the sights or recover from the nights out! Food on-board was great and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to do the trip again!

From the very first day to the moment I stepped for the big the whole crew looked after us. We all had the best time with our crew and couldn’t thank Dan enough. I always felt safe having Dan around and he brought us so much fun and knowledge throughout the whole trip. Anytime there was a slight issue he would always come through for us keeping us out of trouble and checking we were happy and having a great time. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
- Jayde , 26/07/2019 10:11, Travelled with Friend/s
We had rooms on the lower deck of the boat. There was constant smells of petrol in these cabins (even worse when it was rough seas because the boat motor was working even harder) ... it actually was a huge health and safe issue with it being so much gas at one point I had to go upstairs to get air because I felt so dizzy. There was not a running air conditioning( or air vents anywhere) that allowed for fresh air to be pumped into these cabins so it was really not a great experience to sleep/ stay on board. This wouldn’t be acceptable in Australia or New Zealand, as of the health and safety risks here but because it is Croatia this slipped by. Really not up to standards.

Hi there and thank you for your review. We have a rigorous process in place for handling any issues that may arise whilst you are on our your cruise. Following this process gives us the opportunity to try and resolve an issue during the trip, and work with you in finding a suitable solution to ensure all parties are happy, if given this opportunity. Looking through our internal reports, we cannot find any record of your dissatisfaction with your cabin, nor have there been any incidents raised for such issues on your ship this season. As you had booked our Ensuite ship, there is a port hole in your cabin for extra ventilation. Air-conditioning is not included on this particular ship type, however we recommend our Premier ships for this amenity. We are pleased to know that your travel companion found all services on this cruise to be of high standards, with ratings of 4-5 stars. We hope that these issues didn't detract from your overall experience and again, we thank you for all your comments.
Sail did not exceed my expectations. There were far too many girls on board and it was a mess upon arrival with our towels stained. Our speakers were too quiet with none on the top deck - where everyone sat. The guide Zac did an amazing job with including each guest and ensuring everyone was happy. Not only was he professional and had great knowledge but was also considered a friend among the guests - who went above and beyond to help us create life long memories. The crew did a great job at making the guests feel uncomfortable. It was clear that they didn’t like Zac (as they had openly said to other guests). The bartender said that she wanted to get him kicked off the boat. Alena lied to us about the price of the bell shots compared to other boats, and spread false and inappropriate rumours about fellow guests and Zac around the boat. I’ve never experienced a tour-guide to put as much effort into his job like Zac, who excelled in high pressure situations with a large number of guests
- Jordan , 08/07/2019 11:34, Travelled with Friend/s
Many thanks for your review. I want to thank you for your feedback, we do really appreciate this as this enables us to improve for the future. Thank you for your comments on your Representative Zac, it's wonderful to hear he did such a great job on board with you and your fellow travellers. We do always try our best for an even mix of gender ratio, however this is not always possible due to the nature of bookings we receive. I've passed your comments on regarding the towels and speakers on board Navigator to our Operations Manager, thank you for brining this to our attention. We do appreciate you as a valued customer of ours and are glad the issues raised did not deter you from having a great time on board. Thanks for joining us!
The tour manager was great (zac) he was friendly, Informative and extremely caring for us and always went to extreme lengths to make sure we were okay by the end of the trip it really felt like we had all formed a special bond with him - it was really upsetting to see the crew on board treat him poorly and act in a racist manner making his job 20x harder. They crew were not welcoming to him and did not treat him as a part of the team which as guests we could see it dampened his mood however he still kept his high spirits to ensure we were having the best time - i really enjoyed my time on the boat but honestly the only let down was the crew - the captain was rude and the bar tender was only out to harm the tour guide (hiding his ipad, his tip jar and telling guest that ringing the bell was the same price on all boats) - the rooms needed to be cleaned lightly and we should of been offered fresh towels

We do appreciate you as a valued customer of ours and are glad the issues raised did not deter you from having a great time on board. Thank you!
Zac really made our experience 100 times better. He went above and beyond to give us as much info on the town as possible. He helped the group intergrade very easily with his down to earth, friendly personality. I found many times the crew to be working against Zac, and while he was doing the best job possible they did not seem to be cooperating with him and this made his job a lot harder then it needed to be. Many times I found the crew to be unprofessional, spreading information relating to Zac which was untrue and created an unhealthy environment for guests to interact. The captain was not very interactive with the guests. Our belongings were chucked in the bin before we had even exited the boat without any prior warning. We had a large group of 42 guests but Zac did an amazing job to create such a good atmosphere and resolve any incidents as quickly as they arose. If it wasn’t for Zac our time on the boat would Not be the same and I can’t thank him enough for the memories made :)

Daniel was a great tour manager and the crew were wonderful on our Split Return South sailing trip. We had such a great week! A favorite part was the swimming stops and if possible, more time would have been appreciated at those. The only other thing I would suggest is more communication. We were told at lunch the various schedules of the day. I think it would help if there was a “day sheet” or some sort of schedule hanging for people to refer to and take a photo of for reference. Contiki uses this and we have found it very helpful.

Hi there - thanks for your review! We're glad to hear you had a great week on your Split Return (South) cruise and enjoyed the swim stops! We appreciate your suggestion on a day sheet, thank you - we will feed this back to our Operations Team!
Weather was amazing, our Captain took us to the best swim stops everyday (Go Tuna) which cured the hangover really fast, food was good, people were great, dinners were nice and the bars were very cool and quirky. Would have loved fans or air con to survive the heat somedays & would rather pay my bar tab as I went instead of lump sum at the end.
- Katrina, 01/07/2019 06:36, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you for your review - we're glad you enjoyed your time onboard Tuna and got to visit some amazing places during your stay with us. We know the weather was really hot during your cruise, as you booked an Ensuite cabin (which excludes air-con) maybe next time book one of our lovely Premier ships to ensure you are kept cool in your cabin with the included air-con facilities. You are welcome to request a copy of your bar tab at any time for budgeting purposes, just let your bar man know ;-)
We loved the tour! The swim stops every day were amazing, the lunch provided each day was exquisit. The places we went on the tour were so beautiful. The only thing that would have been good was knowing the layout of the day and what times everything would be. Also would say that in the boat we were in the room was super small which was expected. There is an aircon in the hallway and if the cabin doors are left open it does get cool. The tour itself and our manager were awesome. He had lots of facts and information about every place we were going. He recommended well priced places and knew a lot about the places we were in. Was a great time.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your honest review. It really is great to hear you loved the tour, your time with us on board and also on the swim stops enjoying beautiful Croatia. As the ships are small motor cruisers the cabins onboard our Standard ships can be a little small, so we encourage you to spend more time exploring :). However, if you were wanting a larger cabin - we recommending opting for the Premier ship option. Awesome that your Tour Manager had lots of facts and information about each location, this can make you feel like you really have got to know the country well even in just the 1 week of sailing! Thank you so much for your recommendation, we're glad you had a great time.

The staff onboard our cruise were some of the best people I’ve ever met, they worked so hard but still found time to joke around and have fun with us. Overall the trip was one of the best weeks of my travels so far! The other travellers on the boat were so much fun. I was nervous at first as to how I would go making new friends but instead I made a whole new family. However, I thought it was a bit cheeky that the clubs (main disappointment, Deep) advertised to us by head office weren’t even open at the time of our cruise so it was never going to be an option for us to attend... I would have preferred they had been a bit more honest with what we were going to have available to us at the time of year the cruise was offered.

For someone that usually gets unwell on boats I'm happy to say that I felt great on this sail. The Capatain was great, swim spots were so beautiful and we got to stay for a good amount of time. I loved all the little islands/towns we got to explore. My boat TUNA was amazing with such a great group of people, we had a lot of fun 😂 Katarina our guide was very lovely and would go above and beyond for all of us! Would defiantly do it again.

The Sail Croatia crew on our ship Tuna were outstanding! My partner and I are both vegan and gluten free so I was hesitant at first to book but the chef and crew paid attention to our dietary requirements and provided the most yummiest lunches!!! We were so over the moon! A huge thanks to them!!! Our tour guide Mila was friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed going to secret swimming spots everyday to refresh and relax! It was a tiring but cool and rewarding week at sea!

This was one of the best holidays I have ever been on but being stuck on a boat with a bunch of teenagers was not what I signed up for!!! I highly recommend you take this trip as you get to see the best of Croatia at your leisure. The staff & crew of The Navigator were amazing. The food onboard was incredible tasty & beers even better. As a married man, along with friends who are also married, the only drawback was sharing the boat with inconsiderate, drunken younglings. This was by no means a cheap holiday & didn't sign up for a party every night. There should be a clear indicator of what age group you will be sharing your trip with. We were under the impression there would be no one under the age of 25 on our boat & this was not the case. Aircon was non existent but you don't really need it if you can keep your cabin door open. Due to the noise levels we could not. All in all it's a trip I will never forget & fell in love with Croatia like no other place in the world.

Hi there and thank you for your review. It's great to know that this was one of the best holiday's you had ever been on. We are pleased you enjoyed the food and beverages provided onboard - thank you for your comments here. Air-conditioning was not included in your cabin as you had booked a cabin on an Ensuite boat, however our Premier and Premier Plus boats include air-conditioned cabins. In regards to the ages onboard, we are really sorry to hear of your disappointment with this aspect of the cruise. Our Navigator cruises are aimed at under 35 year old travellers, the age range of 18-35 years can also be found under our Navigator FAQ's page. We are really pleased to know that overall, you enjoyed the trip of a lifetime and fell in love with Croatia. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us!
Great food & great staff!

What I loved; - The price of things were very cheap compared to the UK - Loved sitting on the deck whilst the boat was cruising and taking in the incredible views - Crew were great and very friendly - Beautiful Cities Could improve; - Not enough swim stops, we didn't have any one day and on another we only had a 10 minute swim stop - Maintenace on the boat wasn't great, a few of the fans as well as the light at the back of the boat wasn't working, we needed to use our cellphones for light - Most of the lilos flew of off the back of the boat, other boats tied them up. - Beds were tiny, I'm tall so had to sleep with my feet out the window. - The shower head is an extension from the basin and toilet constantly smelt, not sure if the draining system wasn't great - Our boat cut the music and bar around 10ish where as the other boats went on later. All in all I would recommend it but improvements to the small things would make a big difference.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate all your comments and are pleased to hear the prices were cheap in comparison to the UK, you enjoyed the beautiful Croatian coastline, the crew were friendly and you enjoyed the itinerary. Thank you for your comments. We have noted your recommendations on providing more swim stops, improving maintenance on the boat, securing the lilos onboard (if provided), and the music onboard. In regards to the maintenance issues that occured during your week, I have checked our internal records and can see that once the crew were made aware, this was resolved immediately. Regarding the music onboard, each location has a night curfew set by Port Authorities that our boats adhere to - not adhering to noise curfews can result in penalties. We are unable to comment on the other companies playing music later than the set curfew. We are pleased that these improvements didn't detract from your time in Croatia and onboard your cruise. Thank you for recommending us and we hope to have you join us for another Croatian adventure!
I just want to say a huge thank you to all staff. I didn't know what to expect hoping onto the boat but it was amazing. The food was absolutely perfect and the staff in the kitchen did an amazing job not only was the food the best but getting it out on time every day is just incredible. Hats off to you guys. All the staff was friendly and I really enjoyed my time. Chur !

My experience with Sail Croatia was great although the boat we where was slightly under satisfactory. Our room although small and hot was forgotten when the 10-15kg port hole fell on my face causing a very painful and large bruise under my eye. There was also a small opening in the wall that caused an electric shock through my body. The crew, boat, and Sail Croatia representative where really great and made my experience amazing but, the safety at of the boat was something that needed to be reviewed.

Hi - thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear your overall experience was enjoyable. However, we are sorry to hear of the unfortunate incident that occured whilst onboard your boat. I understand your representative was available during this incident and had offered further assistance wherever possible. We understand the captain had repaired the batten and no further action was required from you. We are really pleased to hear that your representative made your experience amazing and again, we thank you for your review!

I loved that apart from the party aspect of the sail boats there was also a really nice inclusion on history and knowledge of the places we were traveling to by our tour guides. Lara was so knowledgable and helpful if anyone had any questions. The whole boat of mala Kate had such great staff who were helpful, respectful and so much fun at night to party and talk with. Only downfall is that when the generator was off the rooms were incredibly hot and I had no way of charging my phone which meant I couldn't take photos of some of my experiences. All in all tho I had so so much fun and would recommend highly to anyone

Had high expectations going on a navigator cruise as people told me it was the "best week" ever! Sail croatia did not disappoint, indeed it was the most amazing week ever, with the most outgoing/fun/craziest group of people, lets do it again, wouldnt change a thing, besides some airconditioning #mlini😉

Sail Croatia, how do I even begin to describe it in 1000 words. The destinations will take your breath away, and if that doesn't, jumping off the top deck of your gorgeous boat for the first time into crystal clear blue water will! You will eat the most amazing home-like meals and be served any drink you could possibly ask for. You've got a question? Our representive Vedron would have the answer, and if he didn't, he would find out before you even had the chance to ask again. He was caring, fun, down to earth and very organized making our experience on sail seamless. The people make it very special with excursions for you to bond and clubs for you to boogie. Our air conditioned rooms made sleeping after a big night out easy, and watching the sunrise on the top deck after stumbling home was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Adria crew on the Ocean boat were flawless and we are stoked with their hospitality. Subanking, Adventuring, snorkeling and partying! OH & YOU MUST GO CANYONING!

Hi there and thank you for your review regarding our Navigator cruise. We are sorry to hear the demographics onboard effected the vibe on your boat. We always aim to get a good mix of travellers on all our boats, taking into consideration age, nationality, gender and group makeup - couples, singles and groups of friends. However the makeup of the boat is heavily reliant on who has booked. This particular week we had more females than males book on your cruise across all boat. We do hope that you enjoyed your time in Croatia as a whole. Thanks again.
Good crew

Lara was a wonderful host! The rooms were much better than I had thought- cool temperature with private bathrooms. I was also very impressed with the food. Unfortunately, things that were not so good included our bar tender was very sour over the week, there was very little to do during the day except for tan on the deck and lastly, on the final night my wallet was taken with 600 kuna ($120) taken out of it which I have a strong suspicion was by the bar tender as a result of not tipping him.

Everything went perfectly on Amadeus, the ship I have been booked on. Breakfast, lunch, cocktail bar, excusions, you can trust in them. The bad point stays the importance of Australian people which represent easily more than 80% of ship populations. A perfect english understanding is thus necessary.

Although the cruise was lovely and we explored some fantastic water and towns - for the price we paid 8 couldn't help being a little disappointed. We were not given 1 litre of water per day as promised and instead had to use individual cups from a water dispenser. Fresh towels also should have been provided in order to maintain better hygiene - our boat had an outbreak of gastro. All in all, a fun experience but definitely some room for improvement. Our crew was great as was our leader.

Thank you for your review. We are really pleased to hear you had a fun experience onboard your cruise visiting some of the most amazing towns and islands, and that your leader and crew were of great value, thank you for your comments here. We thank you for your comments on the water and towels, we no longer provide 1 litre bottles of water, instead we provide unlimited access to a water cooler that is accessible to use during salon opening hours. Upon request, the crew will be more than happy to change your towel for you. We are pleased that overall, you enjoyed your time on the cruise and in Croatia as a whole.
Had a really great time on Sail Croatia. Would recommend getting an above deck cabin. Be wary that Sail Croatia's price point is lower than other companies as there are a lot of extra costs including alcohol, meals and activities that aren't always the best value.

Hi there and thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear you had a great time on our Navigator cruise. On our website we confirm what is included in our prices - breakfasts and lunches. With dinner, we don't include this as we want our guests to go out and try the lovely Croatian cuisine. Alcohol and exursions are optional as we feel you can budget for this and spend as much or as little as you like. We thank you again for your comments.
Sail Croatia. Words do not describe how amazing this experience was. Parties every night, a boat full of the most awesome people, life long friendships made. The food was amazing, the Croatian cities were amazing. I have experienced nothing like this before and would highly recommend anyone who loves a good time to get out there and do it!!

Went on Split Return Navigator cruise on the Premier ship - Pacific. Great ship and facilities. Met and exceeded my expectations but lacked on the tour operator quality. Unfortunately he was shared between another ship, of which we were never introduced to (heard heaps of other ships being docked out in the ocean together and having parties), gave us very vague and little detail on the activities and plans for the day. Also had poor recommendations for restaurants, bars and clubs that suited the tastes of our group. Found better prices by ourselves for activities not run through him and better bars, restaurants and clubs. But, apart from that Sail-Croatia was an insanely amazing week, and massive appreciation to the efforts and kindness of Shima and M (barman) who made the experience that much better. Would join Sail-Croatia again in a heartbeat

Thank you for your review. It's so good to hear that this was the best week of your life and that you found the ship Pacific to be a great overall. We are also pleased to know the cruise exceeded your expectations. However, we are sorry to hear of your disappointments. We had two ships scheduled on this departure date and cruise type, and your rep was solely responsible for both ships. I'm really sorry to hear you were given very little information about daily activities and scheduling, and poor recommendations for available bars, clubs and restaurants. All our representatives are given appropriate training prior to the season. We acknowledge that further training may be required for your rep to ensure he is up to standards to exude all the qualities our reps are known for; helpful, friendly, professional and informative - your comments have been passed on to our Operations Team to investigate further. Thank you for your comments here. Overall we are very pleased to know that you had an amazing week with special mention to Shima and M (the barman) - we will be sure to pass your comments on to them to enjoy. We hope to have you back soon to enjoy another week with us.
Staff was excellent, food was even better (although small portions).

The Sail Croatia Navigator cruise was an excellent week of meeting new people, discovering new places and taking in some sea and sightseeing. Our boat name was \"the navigator\" which was a premier ship. The rooms were a good size and the beds comfortable. Our bathroom was perfect and the shower had great pressure. The meals were very standard and salty (think there could be improvement here). Our barman Mladin (Mika) transformed our ship into the amazing vibe it was. Mika was the life of the party and you can only be lucky to have this guy around. The other staff were also great. My only negative comment is that i found our boat leader Andy to be very apathetic and quite stand-off. He didnt make the activities sound attractive and treated the group like strict teacher. i felt like i was in school at lunch everyday. I know it was one of his last weeks for the season but its no reason to be so negative and demotivating. All in all i thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend it

Croatia... you cant go wrong with this place, the water the cities, the people, the parties and the weather is amazing!!! However, I think the organisation and timing of the port visits could be better. I did Split to Dub and our second port (which was apparently amazing) we missed due to doing the first excursion "Rafting". well the "Rafting" was more like a 3-4 hour paddle down a river, wayyyy to long and I wouldn't recommend doing. Other ports like Hvar would have been better if we didn\'t have to leave so early in the morning so we could take in all the night life. Further to Hvar, Sail Croatia should also try sort out tables at Hula Hula. The place gets busy and when we arrived we couldn't get a spot to sit and enjoy.

Thanks for your feedback on your Navigator Split to Dubrovnik cruise. We are happy to hear you enjoyed Croatia as a whole, enjoyed the weather, parties, cities and people! We are sorry to hear you missed out on the second destination Makarska due to partaking in the Rafting excursion. We do mention on our Excursions page that the Cetina River Rafting is not extreme and is suitable for beginners and those of Intermediate experience. One of the highlights of our Split to Dubrovnik route is that you get the opportunity to spend two nights on Hvar Island, (Stari Grad and Hvar). We don't have a partnership with the popular Hula Hula Bar as they are an independent company however, this is something to look into - thank you for your comments on this.
Had a particularly good boat. We were all of similar ages, and had similar temperaments. I enjoyed all the places we went, although I do wish we had an extra night in Makarska. The crew were supportive and happy to help.

The photographer Tom was a damper on our trip. He would make us feel extremely uncomfortable when we decided not to go to group dinners - which should completely be up to us. Also the Buggy adventure and Mostar day trips were complete tourist traps and I would not recommend them.
- Tina, 29/08/2016 17:13, Travelled with Friend/s
Thank you for your feedback. We hope you enjoyed your Navigator Dubrovnik to Split cruise. Group dinners are completely optional and are entirely at your discretion whether you wish to partake - we are really sorry to hear you felt uncomfortable to decline and we have raised this with our Operations Manager. The buggy adventure and Mostar day trips are extremely popular with Sail Croatia and other tour operators, and at times, can be overcrowded with tourists due to their popularity - thank you for your comments on this and we hope you enjoyed Croatia as a whole.
It was the overall location that made my trip. The staff on the boat were amazing. There were a few hidden costs/mis communication of tour managers and some of the optional activities which could have been avoided. Overall my trip was average compared to what was expected (maybe I set the standards to high), however still had an amazing time!
- Ashleigh, 29/08/2016 15:40, Travelled with Friend/s
I was very disappointed in this your due to the fact that I was combined with a very large group who had booked together and further, several older couples. I am a young solo traveller and was not put with other like minded individuals. The group I was put with seemed to be more like an explorer group and even though Nagivators are designed for 18-35 year olds there were people on board that were much older. This did not make my time fun at all. Further, I feel it was selfish for sail Croatia to place such a combination of people together, given that I had paid so much for the trip. I will not be booking with sail Croatia ever again.

Hi there and thank you for your feedback on our Navigator Return cruise. We have had a look into this for you and can see that we had a good mix of couples, groups of friends and 6x single travellers on-board your boat - with most travellers aged from mid-late 20s. We see that you also had a friend book on your boat - and we hope they enjoyed their cruise also. We always aim to get a good mix of guests on our boats, taking into consideration age, nationality, gender, solo travellers, couples and groups. However, this heavily depends on who has booked. We hope you enjoyed Croatia as a whole and we thank you for providing feedback.
The food was spot on, I was expecting less but very nice, the lunches were the best meals had on the boat. Swim stops and the amount of time (Sometimes we got to elect to stay longer which we always did). Information along the way, would have been nice to have one single contact the whole time but was helpful information about restaurants and discounts.

One hell fun week on a boat - what more can you ask for! Only thing was that it was advertised as having air con, yet apparently it didn't work. It was so hot to the point that no one could sleep - basically had to drink ourselves silly to get an hour or two of sleep in before you become drenched. Made everyone ill and somewhat crazy! Anyways, ignoring that, so sick and full of good times!! The food will impress you! I would go for premium boats if you like sleep.... but lesser if you want to rage everyday. Thankgod for Marco, the sickest captain on Sail Croatia! Maria Mag

Hi - thanks for your feedback on our Navigator Return cruise. It's great to hear you had a good time on the cruise and found the food impressive. We will pass your comments on to captain Marco! In regards to the cabins on-board our Ensuite boat, air-conditioning is not included on this boat type. This is included on our Premier and Premier Plus boats and we recommend booking these boat types if you would like an air-conditioned cabin. Thanks again for your feedback and hope to have you join us again in the future.
We have a few negative issues; 1. They should have a different system in placed for the way drinks would be tallied up. 2. We had a wonderful leader but the way she was treated by others on our boat, was uncalled for. The other crew members ie Captain should have intervened when abusive/threatening language was used at the leader.

Thank you for your feedback - We hope you enjoyed the cruise with us. Thank you for your kind comments on your leader - I will be sure to pass these on to her. With regards to the bar tab, we are implementing an improved system for next season so thank you for your comments on this. Regarding the leader being verbally abused, we do not tolerate this type of behaviour to our leader or guests - guests are dealt with accordingly as we have strict procedures in place for any such behaviour. We are currently investigating further. Thank you.

The staff and the other guests on the cruise were awesome and they made the whole trip very special. Only criticisms I had were very minor. (Wasn't allowed cheese and bacon in my omelette, only one or the other. Ice in drinks was hard to come, 1 litre of water wasn't enough and wifi was a bit dodgey) Very minor but if I'm paying top dollar for the premier plus boat I would think small things like should be available. On a side note things like stand up paddles boards on the boat for use during swim stops would be the coolest thing ever! Just a suggestion. Overall I still had an amazing time and would definitely come back if I had the chance. Thank you for a lovely week.

The week cruise was amazing! The sights are incredible, I never knew how beautiful Croatia was going to be. The only downfall of the trip was the size of the bedroom, there wasn't enough room to put your suitcase away therefore we had to walk over them each time to get to the bathroom, and you need air con!
