The ship, our cabin, the fantastic food, and absolutely wonderful crew, all exceeded our expectations….this was our first trip to Europe and with my wife recently retiring, we will be sure to be visiting Croatia once again and look forward to travelling on another slSail Croatia adventure!

We had the most amazing trip. On the Sailve de Mare The staff were wonderful , we can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us I can’t remember everyone’s names but would like to mention how much we loved Monica 😍 the housekeeper, Marco and bar staff, for the endless service of beverages and food with a smile , chef and kitchen hand for the amazing food , deck hand and captain for the smooth sailing and most importantly Vicko our guide had the best sense of humour and made our history lessons very interesting He gave us great explanations of the islands with recommendations and guidance and most of all made us feel so comfortable. Thank you Debbie and Clive

Comfortable cabin. Tasty food. My food preferences were accommodated. Nice tours were organised. Tour operator was pleasant and accommodating. Standard of wine was good.

The friends and lovely group of people we shared the experience with. Beautiful country. On the whole, a friendly crew aboard the ship.

We had a simply fantastic experience from start to finish. The booking experience was smooth, communication about check in time and all logistics was timely and detailed. What really made the trip for us was our Skipper Ante. From the start Ante understood what we wanted to achieve and being sailers he tailored our trip so that we could also learn how to sail the boat we had chartered. Ante planned the route together with us and ensured we also visited beautiful bays to swim and amazing restaurants throughout the trip. Without a doubt Ante made this trip very special for us and we want to repeat it again soon!

Queen Jelena is a beautiful ship and we appreciated her elegance. Everything was organized perfectly. The service and food was incredible. Our guide Ioana was amazing, she gave detailed explanations of the days and next nexts plans and optional activities. This was followed up by written explanations on WhatsApp which was very helpful I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip to anyone

- Liz, 16/09/2025 13:46, Travelled in a Couple

This was our seventh B & B trip and we had an excellent time. The staff and guides did an excellent job throughout the week. The food on the ship was very good. We used ebikes which I would recommend, they made the hills which there are many very easy to peddle up. There were not any panier bags on the bikes to carry anything in so I would recommend brining a small backpack or sling bike while riding.

- Michael & Janet, 16/09/2025 12:45, Travelled with Family

We travelled on the boat Afrodita and the crew, chef, captain were exceptional. The food was excellent, the boat was regularly cleaned, and Joseph aka Poppy was the most accommodating and friendly bartender/server. We had regular swim stops at just the right times and when we had a rainy day we were offered a buffet barbecue on the boat to avoid having to walk into town. Our bike guides, Ivica and Ilona, were top notch and they constantly reassessed our schedule based on the weather and the abilities of the riders. Their flexibility, competence, approachability and warmth made our biking experience just right for everyone in our group regardless of our different levels of physical fitness. As introverts who have never participated in group travel let alone done a bike/boat tour we are still marvelling over our positive experience. Definitely a 9/10 for us.

Sailing to the small island towns of Croatia on the beautiful yacht Katarina has to be one of the best experiences I’ve had. The accommodations were lovely, the food was wonderful, and the crew were amazing! I can’t imagine enjoying the beauty of Croatia any other way!

- Janice, 16/09/2025 11:17, Travelled in a Couple

The tour leaders Jay and Ana were absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and their knowledge was incredible. Would recommend to any age group and level of bike rider. Memories will last forever.

- Caroline, 16/09/2025 08:53, 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.

- Diane, 16/09/2025 07:20, Travelled with Friend/s

I enjoyed everything from the beautiful boat and its attentive crew to the islands and excursions that were planned.

- Nancy, 16/09/2025 06:28, Travelled with Friend/s

A five star experience from the moment we boarded our boat. Cleanliness of the boat, a very helpful crew and quality and variety of the food was outstanding. Our guides were organized, knowledgeable and very attentive to ensure all customers had the experience they expected. What made the island trips very special was our ability to cycle into smaller towns and villages on each island and truly experience Island life. We had a number of people on the boat that were second and third time customers. This speaks volumes of the quality of overall experience.

- Terry, 16/09/2025 06:12, Travelled in a Couple

First off our guides, Ivica and Ilona were the best. They kept 30+ people of differing interests and physical ability engaged and enthusiastic every single day.....even the day it rained. The routes chosen provided spectacular views and gave us the opportunity to see parts of the islands that visitors to only the port towns would miss. The ship was comfortable and meals on board were very good with a some outstanding moments. Daily information on the plans and suggestions for that day took all the guesswork out of it. Very well organized with everything planned to the last detail but also flexible depending on group preferences and weather.

- Wendy, 16/09/2025 05:24, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia was the highlight of my trip! Beautiful destinations, a relaxed vibe, and a great crew. Special mention to Lauren, our trip leader so much fun and full of knowledge. She made an amazing trip even better!

This was an amazing trip and the tour guides Jodi and Ana made it so enjoyable. The sharing of information. at regular intervals kept us informed without overwhelming us and their upbeat attitude and sense of humour kept us all engaged. Well done by all

- Linda , 16/09/2025 01:23, Travelled with Friend/s

Our experience with Sail Croatia was phenomenal! It was one of the best trips we've ever taken - offering a nice balance of relaxation on the boat and activities on the islands. It was great to have flexibility to explore on our own (using recommendations provided if we wish) or opt in to the excursions. We enjoyed that we docked in port every night so we could stay out and enjoy the island as long as we wanted. All of the staff were so welcoming, kind, and provided top notch hospitality! We also really enjoyed meeting our fellow shipmates and actually formed some deep friendships with others on the boat, which was unexpected but made the experience that much more special. We highly recommend this cruise!

- Katie, 15/09/2025 22:46, Travelled with Family

Our boat Salve Di Mare was not only the best boat in the fleet, it was staffed by the best crew, Captain Frane, Sailors Mario and Duje, Waiter Marko and Vlaho, Cheifs Arjan and Tina and last but definitely not least our Maid Monika, all 10/10 for all their duties. Now not to forget our absolute champion of a representative Vicko. The weather was a little Ordinary so they changed the route and included some extra activity activities to give a better experience, it was appreciated by all guests on the boat. Vikos knowledge about Croatia and the places we went, outstanding. The entire crew and Vicko went above and beyond. As an airline Captain in Australia, I can only hope my crew perform as Frans crew did, I know the logistics behind a smooth enjoyable experience for your guests and the teamwork required to achieve this, Frane and Vicko mastered it. Thanks to all. Sean Daly

- Sean , 15/09/2025 19:44, Travelled with Family

Our guides were Josko & Ana, what a team! We had a couple of windy days & one wet day. The communication was quick & kept us updated with options for our bike trips. The banter was fun & their knowledge of history/ old stories kept us intrigued. They were very giving with their time & expertise, & we felt they went above & beyond to make sure we had plenty of information to plan & enjoy our onshore time. The boat crew were great, always available & worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. The meals… no one went hungry with our chef! If you’re on the fence about this tour, you will not be disappointed!

- Leigh, 15/09/2025 18:56, Travelled in a Couple

Overall, I had a great time on our Sail Croatia experience, but Matea truly made it outstanding. Matea was knowledgeable, kind and fun. The cabins were small and did not have AC (which we knew when we signed up). We thought since it was September, it would be cool enough at night. Half of the nights were a good temperature, the other half were not. In the future, I would opt for a boat with AC in the cabins. Unfortunately, since we came at the end/after season some things were closed and not possible for my group to do. The swim stops were also a highlight of our trip and Sail Croatia provided a lot more breakfast food than we were expecting, the fridge was always stocked!

- Anonymous, 15/09/2025 18:19, Travelled with Friend/s

I would highly recommend the biking island hopping trip from split to Dubrovnik. The staff were exceptional. From Marin and Natasha to the on board staff George the cook . The captain Ante Andrea and Antony (?) Nothing was a problem. Made our trip very special for our group of 17 .

- Mandy, 15/09/2025 17:06, Travelled with Friend/s

Everything was fantastic, fabulous, crew and captain and Lauren was our guide and she was fantastic. Would 100% go again

- Eliza, 15/09/2025 15:05, Travelled with Friend/s

We were blessed to have a wonderful and friendly crew and 2 guides Ilona and Ivica who kept us safe and informed whilst having great fun on the bikes! A group of like minded people on the boat just added to the experience! What a great opportunity to explore such picturesque places combined with biking, swimming and a little walking and sometimes dancing in the evening (you needed to exercise off the amazing meals prepared by our skilful chef). A fun week which ended a little to soon! Thanks to crew and fellow travellers for an amazing experience!

- Robyn, 15/09/2025 14:21, Travelled in a Couple

The hiking cruise was sensational — an ideal blend of adventure, scenery, and seamless planning. Each hike offered breathtaking views and just the right level of challenge: enough to feel accomplished but never overwhelming. The hikes provided spectacular views of Croatia’s coastal beauty. What truly elevated the experience were our guides, Mate and Hana. They were outstanding—knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive. Whether it was sharing local insights, adjusting pace for the group, or simply bringing great energy to each day, they made the journey feel personal and memorable. The itineraries were fantastic, striking a perfect balance between structured activity and time to relax or explore. Every detail felt considered, from the timing of hikes to the onboard experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Croatia in a unique, active, and deeply rewarding way.

- Andrew Hutchinson, 15/09/2025 13:25, Travelled in a Couple

All the places we visited with the people and this could not have been so enjoyable without our host Sasha who was always available and very understanding and knowledgeable which made for a amazing vacation 👌

- Steven, 15/09/2025 13:13, Travelled in a Couple

We had been before, the trip was as good as before but the food was so much better. The boat was better too and we had upstairs cabins that we liked better.

- TESSA, 15/09/2025 13:11, Travelled in a Couple

I loved all the old towns in each place, the swim stops and for us the people. The boat crew and our tour manager Sasha were great humans - thanks Sail Croatia.

- Simone, 15/09/2025 13:01, Travelled in a Couple

The entire week was a lot of fun and a very enjoyable experience. The freedom of riding across the Croatian islands to take in the magnificent scenery was tremendous. I would thorough recommend a Sail Croatia bike holiday to anyone considering.

From the start of this cruise on a fairly small ship the crew and Sail Croatia representative were most welcoming and friendly, nothing was to much trouble. Beautiful clear water with plenty of swim stops. Food offered to a good standard. People we met were friendly and most spoke good English.

- Gary, 15/09/2025 11:11, Travelled with Family

We had an amazing week sailing around Croatia as a family. Our skipper Bruno was really knowledgable about the different towns and sites and managed to accommodate all the activities we wanted to do as part of our trip from zip lining to hiking. We were especially impressed with the swim stops along the way and he really found the balance of being around when we needed him but also to give us our space. The boat was perfect for us as first time sailors and we had an amazing time and would absolutely do it again. Thank you, Bruno!

- Channy, 15/09/2025 11:05, Travelled with Family

First of all, let me say that the people involved (crew, etc.) were excellent. I have no problem with any of them. Our cruise director was especially friendly and personable. Plus, I found Croatia to be a most beautiful country. That said, it was not one of my favorite trips. I found most places we stopped to be glorified "tourist traps." Most things were far too expensive, and we were constantly confronted with cost after cost for anything we might want to do. I think that should I ever return to Croatia, I'd probably pick one or two places and spend more time exploring more than just tourist trap stuff. I guess that could be said, however, for many such cruises, etc. Have traveled to several countries, however, this will not be considered one of my favorites.

- Kenneth, 15/09/2025 10:23, Travelled in a Couple

Bruno, our skipper was amazing bringing us to different islands with ideas about what we wanted to see, such as military stuff, ziplining and go karting. He was amazing when giving things like restaurant recommendations as well as giving us the locations on google maps so we knew exactly where to go. overall amazing experience and our skipper was one of the main reasons why

- Tj, 15/09/2025 10:12, Travelled with Family

We did the sail and cycle in September and it was great. The crew were great, our guides were hands down amazing, the food on board was terrific. We used hybrid classic bikes and it was hard work on some of the hills, so just be warned if you are considering classic bikes. The terrain was much different than we expected. We felt very accomplished by the end of our adventure.

- Elizabeth, 15/09/2025 10:02, Travelled in a Couple

We had an amazing time on our sail Croatia yoga cruise. The entire crew was amazing, kind and friendly. Very hardworking and deserve more down time off between charters. The boat was wonderful and rooms clean and good size vs expectations. The chef was awesome and made delicious meals every day. Breakfast was basic with some meats cheeses, fruit, toast, eggs. My suggestion would be a blender for smoothie and microwave to reheat cold food. Lunch was delicious but having an idea of what it is before hand would be helpful for those selective eaters so they can have more breakfast or select the vegetarian option if they want. The yoga was great and excursions were fun and easy to sign up with each day. Posting the options on the whiteboard in the saloon, daily meals and schedule etc would be very helpful to prevent so many msgs on what’s up. I found the group chat nice but too many msgs and questions of things we were already told. Overall, we loved it and would do it again! Thanks

- Steve, 15/09/2025 09:44, Travelled in a Couple

Just finished a week on Kapetan Jure with Lauren and it was by far one of the best experiences! Lauren was knowledgeable, high energy and added to the fun of the week. The food was incredible, and all the staff were lovely! Definitely think this is the best way to experience the beautiful coast of Croatia and would highly recommend!

We had a perfect week on Sail Croatia! We loved every minute.

We had an amazing time. The staff, excursions, service and food was 5 stars but I gave the survey 4 stars because of the condition of the boat. This boat needs maintenance and upgrades.

- Anonymous, 15/09/2025 06:54, Travelled in a Couple

Concept was great. Yoga daily swim stops and included excursions. Food was great Although Captains dinner could have been a little more special. Maybe include a glass of wine. Also daily it would be nice to know what the lunch was, perhaps even just posted somewhere.. But overall it was a great trip and I would do it again and would highly recommend

- Anne King, 15/09/2025 06:48, Travelled with Family

Value for money, excellent cruise staff and a great bunch of people on the cruise. The food was excellent. Cabins quiet, clean and comfortable. Vik our tour manager was THE BEST he provided us with so many options and opportunities. When the weather was not so great he worked really hard to find other activities to do. The captain changed our destination so we didn’t experience too many rough conditions. Honestly all the staff worked extremely to give us the most fantastic time. We are sad it is over.

- Emma, 15/09/2025 04:10, Travelled in a Couple

On our recently completed trip from Dabrovnic to Split for 7 days, Although the "Tempera" ship requires some strong maintenance repairs and surface repairs, the experience beyond that was incredible for a first time cruise guest on that size and style of a ship. Our Cruise Manager Sasha was the most friendly, knowledgeable management team member that leads the way in customer relations and makes all guests feel like a family member. The Captain and crew provide a constant team effort of providing services of any nature while at sea or when at dock daily. We were fortunate to have a dining room / bar drink service leader in "Max", his efforts exemplify professionalism customer service. The most valuable aspect of this specific cruise trip was the personal relationships built in a very short order of time (from day 1) of the other guests. This size of a ship and the areas of common use created an experience like no other, for the friendships that were created, we thank you.

- Daryl, 15/09/2025 02:02, Travelled with Friend/s

The activities were so much fun, I loved every second of it!
