Ivan out tour guide was phenomenal. He taught us something new everyday about the history and geography of Croatia. He always made things interesting and fun. The entire schedule of the Wines of Croatia Cruise was perfect, never too much and always an adventure. We were treated like royalty on the ship and the accomodations were just right. The Queen Jalena is a marvel of a ship. I hope to sail with Sail Croatia again in the next year or tow, NO ONE could be better!!

We were a group of 11 friends on the Queen Jelena Wines of Croatia cruise and had the trip of a lifetime! From the service, to the cleanliness of the boat, to the excursions, everything was flawless. Biggest shout out goes to our intrepid leader Ivan who was always organized and informative, and most importantly, put up with our antics. If we were to come back for another cruise, he would be our top request! And don't forget about the food! The breakfast buffet was always hot and filling. The three course meals were some of the best meals I had while traveling ever. Finally, the dining excursions included were such a delicious way to try traditional dishes. Sail Croatia truly does an exceptional job at customer service and tourism experiences. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

The food on board was delicious! The weather was superb which allowed us to look forward to each and every swim stop. Loved all the islands we visited. Our cruise director Anita was the absolute best. Always keeping us informed ahead of time on what to expect at each island and ideas on where explore, what activities to possibly participate in and amazing selection of restaurant choices. She was always quick to answer questions, make reservations and assist with any problems anyone had. What a kind beautiful person who clearly loves what she does. We have raved about our holiday and our Sail Croatia experience. What an incredible way to meet people from around the world, explore the many regions of Croatia. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea was a favourite part, one we looked forward to daily. Loved loved loved this vacation ❤️

For starters, our guide Ivan was best in class. And the captain and crew were helpful and really good all week. Thoughtful, much attention to detail. We did the wine tour which was lots of fun. Attractions were beautiful. Highly recommend the biking through the national park. On some guided trips you can be programmed to death - this one was just right. Lots of options and guidance on what to do and really good pace for a holiday. There was one moment on the trip when the bus didn't arrive as planned - Ivan had vans show up as a back up plan almost immediately. Felt so comfortable on the trip as he and the crew were just on top of everything. It was my first cruise and it exceeded all expectations from the boat itself to the comfort of the rooms to the food & drink to the quality of service. And Croatia is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend. Thank you Ivan, Captain, and crew on the Queen Jelena!

We are not cruise people, but our time on the Queen Jelena far exceeded our expectations. Ivan, our cruise director was very friendly, informative and helpful. Pamela always had a smile on her face and Ella and the Josips were like magic working behind the scenes making everything clean, comfortable while Captain Gordon kept us safe and sound and found the best swim spots. The kitchen was a standout as the meals were delicious and always elegantly presented which was a plus. The swim spots and wine tastings were great but the highlight for us was the professionalism of Ivan, Pamela and the rest of the crew which made this cruise one of the best vacations we have ever had. Thanks Sail Croatia!!

The sights were incredible, the crew was attentive and kind, the food was delicious. I never felt rushed or crowded on this trip. We had a weather hiccup and Ivan, our incredible guide, made up for it with an additional experience at the end of the trip. I felt safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip and company to anyone looking for a way to see Croatia. Big thanks to Ivan and Pamila and the entire team on the Queen J!

The MS Katarina was everything and more I would expect from a "Superyacht". The crew were exceptional, friendly, professional and attentive. The breakfast and lunches were amazing. We had one dinner "the Captains Dinner" on board, which I would describe as absolutely amazing. I would have loved to see how the chef prepared such a gourmet delight for all 36 of us. The daily swim spots were amazing with crystal clear waters for swimming. The Katarina was kept immaculate by all the crew. The Captains night will be remembered by all the guests on board. So much laughter dancing and singing. Will be a cruise that will be remembered by all 8 of our friends and all the other guests. Will definitely be back for another cruise. By far our best trip ever and will recommend to all our friends

What was so great about the boat cruise the amazing crew including Vicko and the Captain! Followed closely by the fun loving passengers! 10 out of 10 for Vicko’s knowledge, humour and happy friendly nature. I thought the Californians and Brit’s were an awesome bunch of fun loving people. A big thumbs up 👍 for Sail Croatia💖💫

Queen Jalena is a classy broad.. ooops boat. She's built in a such a way that her broad bottom glides as smoothly as silk over the seas. She looks kinda antique with her mahogany fittings and hardwood decking but she's seriously classy and a thoroughly modern miss.. The crew keep her in ship shape order,, cleaning and polishing her everyday so she sparkles. Speaking of crew, what bunch of consummate professionals they are. Nothing is ever a problem for them. Graacious and generous, our wish is their command. Experience this extravagance for yourself. Catch a taste of Croatia in the coolest and most casual way possible via Sail Croatia. You'll be left wanting more❤️

I travelled with my husband and friends on the Elegance cruise from Split to Dubrovnik onboard Olimp. It was definitely over and above my expectations. The ship was superb in every way. The food was brilliant and as I am Gluten / Dairy Free, this was catered for and very delicious. The crew were amazing and could not do enough for us. The captain (Jure) was extremely personable and very good at his job, managing the boat and his crew very professionally and always smiling. Our cruise director (Vedran) was absolutely amazing and had a great sense of humour, we were sorry to leave him. I would definitely do this cruise again and would recommend it to anyone considering this.

We had a wonderful time on the Romantic Star cruising from Split to Dubrovnik visiting the beautiful islands of Croatia and swimming in the beautiful Adriatic Sea. We loved everything about the cruise from the wonderful staff of the Romantic Star who looked after us so well, the incredible and delicious food onboard and the beautiful swim stops every day in the warm clear waters of the Adriatic. Special thanks to our tour manager Anita who took such good care of us every day. We loved everything about our cruise and would definitely recommend it!

We absolutely loved each & every moment! The staff was excellent, the food was delicious, the swim stops were like a movie…clear blue water warm sun and all the friendly wonderful people. Our cabin was a below deck cabin with portholes and it was sparkling clean each day beds were very comfortable and the shower was hot and had lots of pressure. Nikos (Our wonderful tour manager) made sure everyone was happy and our tours were informative. Each port had so much history, we always had a beautiful evening strolling the beautiful towns. Our captain made sure the sailing was smooth. We especially enjoyed the Captain’s Dinner with local band excellent food and dancing. Our on shore dinner (included) was a unique local farm/winery, complete farm to table dinner with flowing wine & local cuisine I would love to return for another sailing. This was so much more than expected! Highly recommend!

Anita was a great tour director who had a lot of good energy, information and history to share with us. That was important to all 14 of us in our group. Dragone, Harry and the rest of the crew were very helpful , friendly and always accommodating. We can’t forget the shoreline of Croatia with its navy blue water is magnificent. The native Croatians were also very friendly.. We miss our floating home in the Adriatic. You may see us again! Paul & Karen

I just got back from an unforgettable Sail Croatia vacation on the amazing Katarina super yacht. It was a superb trip! Everything about the yacht… the crew, the boat itself, the food, the itinerary, the swim stops and more were beyond perfect, all day, everyday of the cruise. It was worth every cent, and will be forever remembered! Wouldn’t change a thing! Wow wow wow!

The Ship was clean and layed out perfectly with room and space that accommodated sleeping, dining and recreation. The staff and crew were professional, courteous and quite informative. The schedule was easy with adequate time to rest in between excursions, swimming (my favorite), meeting other travelers (this too), dining and relaxing. I can't think of a thing that could have been different to make this experience any better. We are totally satisfied and will cherish our memories thanks to the efforts of the Sail Croatia team.
- Michael, 16/09/2025 21:42, Travelled with Friend/s
The cruise exceeded my expectations. Being “trapped” on a small vessel in the Adriatic had the potential to be conflict ridden and challenging. Instead everyones’ interests were adeptly accommodated and a good feeling was generated by our guide and the boat crew. People very quickly became a team that looked out for one another enjoying the well-thought out cruise itinerary. Swim stops were fantastic and there were many opportunities for exploring either alone or with the group. Unforgettable experience enhanced by a genuinely caring staff. The lunches were delicious without exception and it was brilliant to be free to find your own dinner options to avoid overeating. Will definitely consider returning for the southbound version. Such an excellent way to combine history, culture, activity, sea air and terrific cuisine.

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

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

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

The friendliness of all crew members immediately made everyone feel comfortable and ready for an enjoyable, relaxing and memorable time. Nikos the tour guide was extremely patient, informative and funny. Nothing was too much trouble. Captain Ivan was very approachable and happy to have you learn more about the runnings of the boat. Ivana and Angela were the hostesses that always knew what we wanted and needed. Their smiling demeanour was so welcoming morning and late at night. The cleanliness of the entire ship was outstanding. The food was plentiful and extremely tasty. I honestly cannot recommend the Katarina crew and boat enough. A fantastic week with wonderful memories.

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