Great Trip

We had an amazing time. The staff on the Olimp were fantastic - looking after us throughout our time on board. The meals and the service were first class and the Croatian islands and coastline were beautiful. Everyone was very welcoming and we would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

A walk in the sun

One of the best holidays I've had. Great location, super ship, wonderful crew and guides whose organisational skills made sure everything was very smooth. The ample and excellent food complimented the week. The best compliment is to say I'd love to do it all again.

Croatian island cycling

I would recomend Sail Croatia as an amazing way to see the beautiful islands. Our cycling guides Marin and Johnny were great, providing support and informative facts throughout the trip, with our safety as a priority. The staff on the Emmanuel looked after us very well, excellent food and very clean cabins. My only disappointment was the uncomfortable mattress.

My 2026 Sail & Cycle Tour

My sister in law and I had the best experience on our Sail & Cycle Croatia tour. Our holiday began in Split. As we sailed along the coast to various ports, we cycled to cover more ground. I give this company my 5 star rating for the dynamic time we spent on board and in every port. Thanks to our Dionis crew, I highly recommend Sail Croatia for your next adventure. Zivjeli!

Great trip

I had a great time. Guides were outstanding (Josko and Lauren). I felt safe in their hands. Itinerary: I would have preferred more kilometers The bikes were basic and minimal. I expected better quality, especially the non E-bikes. The boat was fine. I did not need anything fancier. More than adequate The food was good but often overcooked. (The captain was a great pilot, he has no business interfering in the kitchen) Portions too big; buffet style may be better. I appreciated breakfast as I could serve myself and the variety was perfect. The portions at lunch were way too big. I dont like wasting food. The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Consider other drinks at the bar (juice, lemonade…)

Calum - Tempera

Calum was approachable, welcoming, entertaining, flexible and very patient with his tour group. Many thanks Mate, look forward to the tattoo! 👌🏻

Fantastic May trip to Croatia

Our trip through the Croatia islands with Calum aboard Tempura was fun and educational. The trip was from Split to Dubrovnik visiting wonderful islands along the way. The crew was extremely hardworking and helpful. Our guide and leader for the week was Calum. If you are fortunate enough to have him as you cruise leader, know that you will have an amazing holiday. He was very knowledgeable about each stop as well as the history of each island/town we stopped in. He planned trips, dinners and events every day making the trip extra special for my wife and I!

Amazing week on Salve di mare

An unforgettable trip! The sail & hike itinerary from Dubrovnik to Split was expertly led by Mate and Saša, whose love and pride for Croatia shone through every story and hike. They were informative, entertaining, and perfectly balanced. The islands were stunning with crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and breathtaking views from clifftop vantage points. On board, the food was fresh and generous, cabins surprisingly spacious and spotless, and the crew professional and welcoming throughout, with Marko and Vlaho taking excellent care of us all week. Will hopefully return to experience a different Sail Croatia itinerary!

A magical week

What an incredible week. Our guides were fabulous. The boat crew were kind and helpful. We loved the island hikes and sights. We've never been on an organized cruise and are so happy we made this decision!

Fun times hiking and swimming the Dalmatian cosst

Wonderfully relaxing trip. Lots of things to see and explore. Easy to be as active as you want

Una experiencia inolvidable ✨

Este crucero fue literalmente la mezcla perfecta entre paisajes soñados, mar increíble, pueblos hermosos y momentos demasiado especiales ✨ Cada parada parecía sacada de una película. La tripulación, la comida y el ambiente hicieron todo aún más memorable. Y definitivamente, Marin y Kafka hicieron que la experiencia se sintiera todavía más especial y amigable 🫶🏼 De esos viajes que uno repetiría mil veces 💙🇭🇷

Cycle/ sail Croatia

Had an awesome trip - the staff and tour guides were absolutely fantastic , would do it again in a heartbeat !!

- Darryl, 19/05/2026 17:20, Travelled in a Couple

great experience

Had a fantastic week on Mali Ante with our guides Mario and Matilda who worked together professionally to manage our group. We had some challenging weather for our hikes which did cause some plans to change, but all was done with our safety and comfort in mind. I would highly recommend this 1 week sailing trip.

Holiday

It was a really good holiday. Mario and Matilda were excellent guides the crew the Cook and the Captain were really helpful and really good people. People the only fault I could find was most boats I’ve been on have free tea, coffee available and afternoon snacks the places us we visited and the hiking that we went on we made all the easier by the crew and the tour guides we both really enjoyed it. The tip situation where we were supposed to have a blank envelope so it was at Unknown what cabin the tips came from did not happen the envelope had everyone’s room number on and name. I really feel like this needs clarifying from yourselves as you have already said the staff are well paid and tipping is optional and the amounts that were suggested from yourselves for per person I believe for far too high and I believe no amount should be suggested i.e. top end or bottom end for tips as this is down to the individual of what they can afford without feeling pressurised this tainted the holida

Sail/cycle cruise

Boat crew were efficient. The two guides were knowledgable and helpful. Overall, the ride was fantastic with very good bikes and very amazing scenery.. HOWEVER, we did book and pay for a cabin with double bed. But instead got a single bed on one side and a bunk bed on the other side of the cabin which was dissapointing.

Cayley, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-05-20:

Hi Raymond, thank you for taking the time to review your Cycle cruise with us this season, and for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the cycling experience, scenery, bikes and found both our crew and guides knowledgable and helpful. It is a shame to read of your disappointment regarding the cabin bedding arrangement. We would like to clarify that bedding configurations are not guaranteed unless specifically requested and confirmed prior to departure. Upon reviewing the booking, we can see that a request for a double bed was not submitted by your travel agent at the time of booking, and therefore this was not something our team had been made aware of in advance. We always aim to accommodate guest preferences wherever possible and appreciate your feedback. Thank you again, it was a pleasure to have you join us!

Best Way to See the Islands!

Our trip could not have been better! The Princess Diana is a beautiful boat perfectly set up for navigating port to port and biking. Our cabin was comfortable with all the amenities needed though most of our time was spent in the salon, on deck, or biking. We cannot say enough about our tour guides Ivica and Ana. Safety of the riders was always top of mind. Ivica knows the islands intimately and he planned rides with stops for great photos, a swim and coffee or ice cream. Ana’s knowledge of the islands’ history is impressive and her clever antidotes and “myths” entertained us. Chef is a master and the food delicious. Tea and Danny were engaging and professional and took time to explain each dish. Especially memorable was the Captain’s Dinner! The Captain and crew were amazing, getting us to port on time and in a favorable location. We enjoyed watching the docking maneuvers…great team work! The ideal weather and our new biking friends made the entire week perfect.

- Liz and Sheridan, 19/05/2026 11:31, Travelled Solo

Absolutely fantastic

My husband and I were a little concerned as we hadn't ridden a bike for many years and we are both in our early 60's. We are fit and healthy and adventurous. We were also concerned we may be the eldest in the group and didnt want to hold anyone up on the bike rides. We loved it. The E bikes made it so easy. The guides were fantastic.and just so great at their jobs. We rode everyday and are now going to book another E bike tour. we are hooked. All the other guests were around our age and we all had a ball. The food was excellent. The rooms were great and the beds comfortable each with our own ensuites. The only down side was the alcohol on board was very expensive and you cant take any on board.

- Lisa, 19/05/2026 08:50, Travelled in a Couple

Nice way to see the islands!

Excellent holiday

Mediocre

Okay. The food was average despite cooks efforts to prepare and serve quality food. There was no alcohol provided with Captains dinner. Staff were great!

Amazing Experience

Wow! From the moment we stepped on board ‘Olimp’ we both knew we had made the right choice choosing Sail Croatia. All of the crew, tour manager (Vedran) and the Captain all made us feel like family and went above and beyond to make our whole experience a memorable one. We made the decision to do a small boat cruise rather than a huge ship, and it was the best! The cabins were spotless and very comfortable. No trouble sleeping at all onboard. Meals on board were delicious each day and five star in my opinion. The Captains Dinner was amazing. So much fun and laughter. Great food and drinks. We will be recommending Sail Croatia to all of our friends who are thinking about going on a cruise. Thankyou all again for a memorable holiday that we will never forget. Until we meet again Colin and Deborah

A wonderful trip making memories with new friends

I travelled as a solo passenger but needn't have worried. From the offset it was the friendliest group of passengers, staff and crew i have ever met. The 2 Sail Croatia leaders, josko and Lauren , were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble, managing to change my picky carnivorous diet to a vegetarian one after 2 days. It was exactly the same with the crew of our boat, the "Dionis"- a very comfortable and ideally sized boat for the holiday- bigger boats around seemed too big and cold compared to the smaller boats. The excursions and cycle routes were absolutely ideal. Most of our 15 passengers opted for the E-bikes but 4 of us had the normal calf powered versions, which didn’t detract from the enjoyment. We had the chance to have a swim stop most days and after a chilly 10 minutes swim, the scorching onboard showers were a very pleasurable welcome experience. This was my first time as a solo traveller on a group trip but i now see it as the only way forward in future

- Simon, 18/05/2026 22:09, Travelled Solo

Wonderful week!

An excellent week away on the hiking cruise. Such a well organised and fun week - Mate & Sase were great leaders. All the crew on the boat were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The boat was so clean and well maintained. Everything was perfect!

- Lesley, 18/05/2026 20:33, Travelled in a Couple

Awesome. Calum the rep on the Tempera was very good. We had a good mix of passengers and the crew were very responsive. For the price we paid I couldnt ask for more.

First Cruise - Best Cruise

Hi Team! The holidays were incredible! Loved it from the first day till the last. Very nice crew, always open for questions, ready to help and present to laugh and have a good time while staying professional. Marin was a great host/guide/friend helping organizing everything and making sure we were enjoying ourselved as much as possible. A big thank you to everyone who made these fabulous holidays possible! I will 100% recommend this!

- Edouard, 18/05/2026 19:53, Travelled Solo

croatia rocks!!

joska and Lauren were fabulous and the crew of Dionis. there were some blips but they sorted it out. the bikes had issues and i would suggest not using that supplier agsin

The highlight of our European Holiday

We joined the crew of the Princezza Diana in beautiful Split, Croatia and over the next 7 days, made our way to Dubrovnik. Our amazing hosts and guides, Tonka and Elena, assisted by the ship's Captain and crew, made our journey memorable in a very positive way. We saw spectacular scenery and did some challenging and fun rides each day. Tonka and Elena made sure everyone was safe and that we learned about what we were seeing. The bicycles provided were high-quality and in great condition. Flyer was the brand of the e-bikes we used. We met some wonderful people from all over the world on our trip, It's a vacation experience I suspect we will do again. A word of caution: Unless you're an avid (perhaps even hardcore) cyclist, plan on renting the e-bikes. The hills you will climb are both long and steep - but beautiful!

Amazing Week

Our week on the Almissa Explorer Cruise was amazing! From the crew, meals, swim spots and guests onboard, everything was perfect! The cabins were well equipped and very cute - we had an above deck one. Excursions were well planned and a lot of fun!

Great Experience

We absolutely loved our 7 night Sail Croatia hiking trip. Our guides, crew and captain did an amazing job.. I loved that the food was flavorful and healthy. The hikes were perfectly planned, organization was spot on and the crew and chef did a fantastic job of making the boating aspect smooth and seamless.

BEST TIME EVER !!!!

I absolutely LOVED this trip the guides were amazing with fun facts on each island we visited and there biking knowledge made me feel at ease at every junction. The boat crew was so kind and everyone worked so hard to make sure our trip was just perfect. Each island was unique in its own way . It was a magical experience !!!!!

- Mark, 18/05/2026 13:35, Travelled in a Couple

Overall a great time!

Great crew, great fellow tourers! The itinerary was excellent. The bikes were garbage. You should not offer a tour where cycling is a feature and then provide bikes that were selected on cost only. Our tour leader spent far too much time trying to keep the bikes operational.

- Anonymous, 18/05/2026 13:32, Travelled in a Couple

Great

Great time. Crew was awsome and very helpful. Maybe the ship could use more swimming floats and serve more traditional Croation food for lunch.

- Alan, 18/05/2026 10:28, Travelled with Family

Croatia’s Best

It was a great experience. The scenery was outstanding - every island had so much to offer. The guides Miran and Johhny were awesome. They kept the group safe and we learned a lot about the history of each island and Croatia in general. They treated everyone like family. The ship, Emanuel, was great- rooms were good, sun deck on the top is nice. We were fed well- breakfast and lunch every day. I enjoyed the authentic Croatian cuisine at lunch. The cooks made outstanding meals.

- Monica, 18/05/2026 10:12, Travelled in a Couple

Stunning Croatia!

My week on the Mali Ante was the best vacation ever. Everything was well planned with stunning scenery and excellent customer service from Matilda, Mario and the crew.

- Anonymous, 18/05/2026 09:23, Travelled Solo

The best week!

My husband and I chose sail Croatia for our honeymoon and it was the perfect week. We did the northern split hiking route on the mali ante with Mario and Matilda and it was perfect! The crew was SO kind and truly just a joy to be around. Mario and Matilda work awesome as a team and made you feel like part of the group every single day. They are so kind and educated, and it’s obvious they love what they do. I cannot recommend those two enough as guides! I can only hope when we come back we get lucky enough to have the same team onboard. It was so much fun! The hikes were awesome. The swim spots were perfect. It was honestly the best week.

- Caity, 18/05/2026 09:08, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing time.

This trip was everything I could hope for. From our guides Mario and Matilda to the crew of the Mali Ante. Everything we did was a blast. Tons of hikes and crazy weather and lenty of swim stops.

Novice sailing adventure

This was a trip of a lifetime. Many challenges and so much learning which is what makes an adventure so worthwhile. We were in awe of the natural beauty of the Croatian islands with their iridescent waters and picturesque hamlets. What really made this trip though, was the friendly, responsive and thorough support we received from the Sail Croatia team.

- Jeannie, 18/05/2026 08:04, Travelled with Family

Awesome holiday

Excellent holiday from start to finish. Mate & Sasa our hike & tour leads were brilliant - friendly, approachable & very knowledgable. Communication of information about the hikes, the history & the area were always spot on, the variety of hikes and locations we visited were amazing. Always felt safe & guided & had the best experience - fell in love with Croatia & its people. Salve di Mare is a beautiful boat, immaculately clean, great size rooms & very comfortable with plenty of space to move around. The food was amazing with a different 3 course lunch menu every day. Service in the bar & lounge from Marko & Vlaho was also excellent & we built up a great rapport with the whole team. We met a great crowd of people from across the world & have made some new forever friends. Would thoroughly recommend Sail Croatia.

Perfect sail and bike trip of Croatian Islands

This was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. The boat was beautiful, the others travellers were great, the biking and scenery was spectacular and the guides and crew made every effort to make sure everything was excellent. Ivica was an excellent tour guide and made sure that we were all together and had exciting, enjoyable and safe bike rides. Ana made sure that no one was left behind and provided excellent information on the places we visited along with a few myths, legends and ghost stories😀. Ana and Dan (sp) were excellent bartenders and servers and made sure we stayed hydrated and were well fed. The food was excellent and we were served some traditional croatian food that was better than we had in restaurants on shore after our trip. My compliments to the chef!! We would definitely recommend this trip. Once you have tried a small boat experience you will not want to go back to the big cruise lines

Great Sailing and Hiking Holiday

Myself, my wife and 9 friends had an absolutely brilliant week, sailing around Croatia on a perfectly sized boat (30 passengers). The accommodation was great, the food delicious and the amount of hiking spot on. Some hikes were challenging some were easy but it was a great balance. The guides were friendly, informative and looked after us just right. I highly recommend the trip to active folks who want to see the sun, sea and Croatia.

Great way to stay active and see Croatia

We had a wonderful experience meeting new friends and cycling across the islands. We had e-bikes which made the cycling easier because the hills are big. Our food on the Mali Luka was exceptional. The crew was great! Lots of fun!

Great bicycle/boat tour

Fabulous holiday!! Our 2 guides Tonka and Elena were very professional, experienced, kind and fun. The breakfasts and lunches were very good, and I appreciated the availability of fresh fruit every day. We thoroughly enjoyed the locations of scenic islands that we biked through and mainland Croatia too. It was a great experience. Thank you.

- Linda, 18/05/2026 04:24, Travelled in a Couple

Exceeded Expectations

We were not 100 percent confident that we would be fit enough or enjoy the experience but we absolutely enjoyed the trip. The tour guides, 2 of them, treated us like family and protected on the roads. The boat, Emanuel, with their captain and crew were a well tuned group. The food on board was excellent! The ebike made the fitness level almost irrelevant, as we watched our 72 year old female group mate keep up with the front guide.

Best Honeymoon

We took the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise from Dubrovnik to Split and we had the Time of our Lives. Our entire crew was amazing from Vicko our Representative who was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. Every morning he provided us with the details of all the local spots to visit and directions on how we could get there. As well as providing amazing stories and history about the area, Our Bartenders Damir & Niksa were so friendly and attentive if we ever needed anything they were there to provide & provide a good time. Our Chefs Vlado & Daki we so amazing at preparing Gluten Free meals for my wife to fit her dietary needs and never made her feel like she was missing out on a meal. Even though we had an itinerary change due to weather our sailors and captain made us feel safe and kept us informed of the changes as soon as possible. The entire crew was so amazing and the excursions prepared even with a change were so engaging and amazing. We would do this every year!

- Chris & Maura, 17/05/2026 12:24, Travelled in a Couple
