While we had questionable weather at times, the staff absolutely brought the energy and passion. From Nickola working tirelessly to ensure we had fun day plans to King Reggy behind the bar and the whole crew looking after us, we all felt safe, fed and excited each day. Definitely would do again.

I had an amazing time on the Explorer cruise - Split (return). It exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend. Great crew, passengers, ports, and activities.
- Debbie, 20/10/2025 02:47, Travelled Solo
Great experience, met lovely people, the crew was the best. Niko our rep was always super attentive to all of us, took care of us and made the experience absolutely amazing! The weather didn´t help, so I do recommend doing it sooner in the year, but overall everything was great! Thanks everyone. Hugs from Colombia!

There was great company and lots of fun. Vicko the tour manager was top class and very knowledgeable. Staff excellent. Itinerary very good but too little time in Dubrovnik after staying on the boat for lunch.
- Michael, 07/10/2025 14:21, Travelled Solo
Olja and the entire crew on kapetan jure made sure the group got along well and had a good time. I was a bit worried about booking this trip coz i was 35 and i thought i will be the only millennial on this trip but the entire group got along well. Olja was phenomenal with her daily briefings, important info about all the places, classy jokes and she has great meme knowledge as well. Sail Croatia should definitely use her for online social media activities coz she can be the face of the company. I work in the travel industry in India and can proudly say she was the perfect trip manager for our trip.

It was a great week, great people and lots of fun! Many additional costs in the week for excursions, dinners etc that makes the trip cost a lot more than you realise. The trip leader was great but sometimes felt a little salesy and not genuinely caring. He offhanded a lot of organisation to participants who had to initiate activities to bring people together. Sometimes noone knew what was going on because plans weren't communicated. Would have liked more collabs with other boats at parties; the crowd was mainly our boat and other people at the club were a bit odd, especially some older Croatian men. At the Cave Club, people were getting preyed on and this club already had a known reputation for dodgy stuff, but noone informed us until it happened. Food was quite good. Each island had much to offer and explore, and the people on the boat were a lot of fun. Overall, a solid week and a unique experience - daily swims, lots of laughs, making friends - but may not do again in hindsight.

Thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us! We are delighted to hear you had a great week on board and enjoyed the daily swim stops, food and socialising with new people, whilst exploring the islands together. It is very important to us to set the right expectations for our guests, so we do list additional costs on both our website and the Pre-Departure Information that is emailed to our guests one week prior to your cruise. Regarding your comment re the clubs, we do completely agree with you and as with any nightclub in any country, it is very important to remain vigilant and the more awareness guests have, the better. We appreciate you as a valued guest of ours and appreciate your feedback, thank you for this and for a fantastic week in Croatia.
Travelling solo can be super daunting however, my roommate was also travelling solo and we ended up being so compatible and really great friends! Our tour guide Ola was amazing and the rooms, food and facilities on the boat were so much better than I thought! Overall I had the best time and would definitely do it again!
- Jess, 01/10/2025 10:18, Travelled Solo
I had the absolute pleasure of joining the Sail Croatia Hiking Cruise, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded every expectation. Our guides, Lola and Natasha, were fantastic. They were extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the islands, bringing each stop to life with fascinating stories and insights. On the hikes, they struck the perfect balance of encouragement and patience, never rushing us even when the trails became more challenging. Their energy and expertise made the journey both fun and rewarding. The onboard crew was equally impressive. The chef and waitstaff were top-notch—the meals were consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. They were also very accommodating with dietary needs, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was also amazed by the skill of our captain. Watching him expertly navigate the waters and dock in the marinas was truly impressive And gave us complete confidence!!
- Mary, 29/09/2025 19:41, Travelled Solo
Sail Croatia is a perfect blend of sailing and hiking, there is also time on each island to explore the local area. Each day is a new adventure on a different island. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful . During our hikes we learn a little history of the island we were on. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour group, they did a great job.
- Cheryl, 29/09/2025 17:11, Travelled Solo
It really was a great trip, Marin and Mario were exceptional. They covered all the bases for having a safe and worry, free experience, very professional. Personally, I could’ve used a little bit longer routes to cycle and myself and a few others felt the last cycle stop was a little risky getting on and off the boat. I’m off to extend my journey and vacation, but I think that this part of it’s gonna be the best of everything overall Thanks, John.

I was a solo traveller on tuna boat from 8th-15th of September. Ceili was rep and she was absolutely awesome. Made it a very fun week. Awesome crew on board too, they were all so nice and Marin was the most amazing chef! Topa and Matija were so awesome to be around and also made it the what week. Nikole tue captain was so nice as well and made the journey so safe and nice
- Nathan, 27/09/2025 10:04, Travelled Solo
The team who I was travelling were amazing. Couldn’t ask for anyone better. Johnney was our main organiser for the cruise. He made me feel right at home, made sure he has answer to every question. Made sure we had something to do at every point. I had an absolute ball. There was no drama. Reggie our bartender was an absolute legend. Always ready for us to ring the bell and took care of us. The capris was absolutely legend as well. And mato and all other deck staff. Absolute legends and gems. Give them all a raise. They did above and beyond for us. ❤️❤️❤️
- Shade, 26/09/2025 12:27, Travelled Solo
The people! It was an excellent crowd mix! Our rep Johnny and the boat crew was excellent! They made sure we had as much fun as we can handle!
- Farah, 26/09/2025 11:25, Travelled Solo
The shipmates were great and the crew was outstanding! The food was very good and the cabins were much better than expected. I loved the itinerary, the daily swim stops and ports. Croatia is divine and there is no better way to see than on the water. Hana our tour guide was fantastic and always attentive as well as the crew (bar and food). I am already missing this beautiful country! Looking forward to returning in the near future! 10/10 for sure!
- Wanda, 25/09/2025 13:11, Travelled Solo
Had a great group on the boat and the best trip manager Nikola who went above and beyond for everyone
- Ted, 25/09/2025 09:35, Travelled Solo
I throughly enjoyed my time on sail Croatia, as a solo traveler I was a bit nervous first coming on but from the entry Nikola bringing his upbeat energy made me feel very welcome. The chefs were amazing and I felt very lucky to have my peers on the board who I instantly got along with. I truly want to highlight the chef, crew and especially Nikola. He went out of his way the whole trip to make sure everyone felt comfortable and when asked about facts or recommendations he had answers for everything. Above all he was just a good human being along with the crew which goes a very long way. Will definitely recommend the navigator boat I went on.
- Aidan, 24/09/2025 18:50, Travelled Solo
I had my birthday on day 2 of my sail week and as a solo traveller I was worried no one would care. The second my trip manager (shoutout Nikola, we love you) heard it was my birthday during the week he sorted out a surprise for me, which turned out to be everyone singing happy birthday with a cake with my name on it and a bell ring!! Literally was the best day of my life I felt so special, thanks to both Nikola, our awesome crew, and the amazing group of travellers on my boat!
- Harmony, 24/09/2025 18:08, Travelled Solo
Overall, the 7-day Sail Croatia Cruise was a really enjoyable trip. The crew did a fantastic job making sure everything was clean and ready on the boat. The food was excellent too. All the activities were well organised and communicated via my host Lara. She would consistently explain the itinerary for the day as well as prepping the activities for the next day. Dinners were often suggested by Lara which was a good show of her local knowledge. As well as having great general knowledge about the history of Croatia. 10/10, I couldn’t have asked for a better host or experience.
- Alfio, 24/09/2025 08:40, Travelled Solo
Such an accommodating ship with great facilities, amazing food and a hospitable crew! Got to experience a variety of activities on each stop, with time to explore each island. Big shoutout to our tour guide Tin Tin who made the experience truely memorable, he was informative, extremely helpful and organised! Definitely made the trip easier for us! Overall incredible experience and would 100% recommend for solo travelling looking for some fun with a big group of lively people
- Danijela, 21/09/2025 08:46, Travelled Solo
Had an amazing week with Tuna, the morning swim stops and parties every night were amazing, our guide Nikola was super friendly and had great local suggestions for every stop, as well as taking us on walking tours every day.
- Anonymous, 21/09/2025 07:57, Travelled Solo
Despite the small group, Ola did incredibly well to bring the group together and enjoy each others company. Lots of local knowledge for activities and venues, always vibrant and outgoing. Definitely made the week flow better than ever
- Billy, 20/09/2025 21:16, Travelled Solo
Our guides, Mate and Ante, were extremely knowledgable, friendly, funny, professional, welcoming, organized and speak English fluently. The crew who took care of everything else on the boat, were amazing. I felt very well taken care of. Croatia is a beautiful country and the weather was great, too!
- Lisa, 20/09/2025 17:17, Travelled Solo
I loved ceilci and the crew in tuna and everyone was so nice. The food was wonderful and the experience was amazing. Def booking again
- Nicholas, 20/09/2025 09:24, Travelled Solo
The sail was amazing, I made lifelong friends with everyone in our group. The crew were great and looked after us at every step along the way. Antonio was an amazing guide, he had great organisational skills and was very knowledgeable about every location we stopped at. He was very fun to have around, he pretty much became a member of our group.
- Hughb, 19/09/2025 13:10, Travelled Solo
the crew on board were absolutely phenomenal and played a key part in making sail week, one of the best weeks of my life!! we were so well looked after. Our guide Antonio was very well informed about all of our stops in the different cities as well. I would absolutely recommend sail croatia to anyone who listens
- Leisi, 19/09/2025 12:43, Travelled Solo
Antonio!!! He was the best tour guide and really made the trip 10/10. He helped break the ice with the group from the start and then continued to provide the best entertainment throughout with his jokes and stories. This was such a great week and I would recommend to anyone 🫶🏻

Our crew was incredible, Johnny went above and beyond to make the week amazing! He really made the biggest difference for how amazing our trip was. Nikola and Yosef were so fun and welcoming and the crew behind the scenes did such an amazing job at making sure everything was perfect. The food and drinks were amazing. The activities were so much fun, I loved every second of it!
- Phillipa (Pip), 14/09/2025 08:50, Travelled Solo
I had the best time on EOS! As soon as I stepped onto the boat I felt welcomed by Cal, and the crew were so accomodating the whole trip. I truly had the best time and would suggest this trip to everyone who is interested.

- Deborah, 12/09/2025 12:00, Travelled Solo
36F and definitely felt too old for the Navigator Cruise (everyone else was 30 or less which I think is the correct age to enjoy the experience). I also felt the cabins were very basic - again I'm probably too old, but it was more basic than the backpacker cruise I'd taken in Australia the previous year and due to the marketing I was expecting something a little more comfortable so it felt like a let down. It was also dissapointing to only be given Instant Coffee at breakfast. It would have also been nice to have information regarding the expected amount of the tips given prior to booking given they were >10% of the cost of the tour. On the upside, the Tour Manager was amazing and went out of his way to make sure I had a good trip. The crew was super kind and the ship was always clean. I'd give the Tour Manager and Crew 6/5 if I could! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the trip to someone younger but for me personally, the experience was just OK.

Hi there, thank you for your review. We’re really pleased to hear that you found the Tour Manager and crew exceptional, and that the ship was always clean and well cared for – we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on. As per our website, Navigator Cruises are our most popular party cruises for independent, like-minded travellers between the ages of 18 and 39. The product is available on 3 types of ships - Premier, Ensuite and Standard. I can see you were accommodated in one of our Standard cabins. Standard ships are a great option if you want excellent value for money and don't mind compact cabins or shared showers and toilets. For a more varied age demographic and a wider range of experiences, we would suggest our Explorer Cruise, which typically appeals to those aged 20's - 60's, however is open to all ages over 15+ and offers a variety of ship types to suit different budgets and comfort preferences - all Explorer ships include ensuite and air-conditioning. Tipping is always optional, with guidance provided in your pre-departure document, as we aim to be fully transparent about costs. Despite your personal disappointment, we’re pleased to hear you would still recommend the trip and hope to welcome you on one of cruises in the future!
I had the most amazing time - our guide, Isabell, was so amazing and fun which made the experience awesome. I would recommend to anyone!
- Jas, 10/09/2025 14:50, Travelled Solo
I've been to Croatia many times before this, doing sailing tours similar to this, but this one stood out because, The organisation, preparation and enthusiasm from our Rep Marin was unmatched, recommendations done, questions answered, and unique requests fulfilled. The crew of Emanual was fantastic, food was amazing, service impeccable and the ship itself spotless. Much more from a tour, no-one could ask for.
- Blake, 10/09/2025 14:20, Travelled Solo
Our tour guides were Ana and Marin. Our guides were awesome – they knew so much of the history of Croatia and shared it freely. The food on the boat was OK. The breakfast buffet was really good; lunch was hit and miss but mostly good. Some people found the lunches not quite enough food if you are a big eater. Drink prices on the boat were really reasonable. Would ask that you recommend the e-bike option for everyone as there was a lot of waiting for the manual bikes as some of the hills on the islands are no joke. A water bottle holder would be nice on the bikes. Would recommend the cycling jersey be included in the package. It would be great advertising for you. To charge $70 for a cycling jersey after you have spent over $2000 USD seemed excessive. Loved that our captain Martin was very safety conscious even if it meant we didn’t always get a swim stop as the seas were too rough. Our bike guide Marin also was very safety conscious which was great to ensure we completed
- Anita, 10/09/2025 14:00, Travelled Solo
I had an amazing week thanks to Lauren and the crew onboard. Would recommend this week to everyone. I will be back again.

As a first time solo traveler I could not have been made to feel more welcome. The crew and tour leader Sasa made me feel at home as soon as I got on board. The food was sensational and all the crew worked really hard to look after everyone’s needs. Sasa organised all our tours, dinner reservations etc, he is amazing . Highly recommend 😊
- Pamela, 08/09/2025 19:43, Travelled Solo
Oh my goodness, what a week it’s been! As a solo traveler, I had an experience that I’ll never forget. I broke a ensuite boat, the lower deck, and guess what? I was more than happy about it! The boat I was on was named Tuna, and it was an absolute blast. The crew was amazing, and the swim stops were simply breathtaking. They were my absolute favourite! The boat, the crew, and the islands were all incredible, but it wouldn’t have been the same without Matilda, our onboard representative. Matilda is the most caring person I’ve ever met. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a wonderful time. She planned everything with our best interests in mind and shared fascinating history and fun facts about each island. She also gave us great recommendations and links to anything we might need on each island. Matilda was the perfect rep. She’s so inspiring, and I’m so grateful to have had her on board. I’m already planning my return trip!

Just got back from the most amazing trip on the Emanuel. The views from the boat were unreal and its a trip I will never forget, Huge shoutout to Marin, he absolutely crushed it! He kept everything running smooth, made sure we were taken care of, and honestly just made the trip that much better. If you’re thinking about booking, do it! And definitely ask for Marin, he’s the best!
- Wanda, 08/09/2025 10:43, Travelled Solo
I was on the boat Mali Ante, and had a great time with the crew. The crew were friendly and helpful, and we even had a disco night. The food everyday was awesome too! Saša, our tour manager was great in offering tips to do on the stops, and organising cocktails/coffe places for us to bond with each other. Will do this again!

This was my second time sailing with Sail Croatia, and I have to say, this trip was even better than the first.
