Absolutely the BEST vacation!

We just got off the Split to Dubrovnik itinerary on the Emanuel with our EXCEPTIONAL CREW, WONDERFUL CAPTAIN Anto, FANTABULOUS GUIDES Dora and Sanya, and enjoyed the experience with a group of wonderful new friends as we cycled our way through beautiful scenery! We travel a lot and the 4 of us felt it was one of our best trips ever! We were also absolutely spoiled with our chef as the food was outstanding! We are HOOKED on cycling holidays now! Highly recommend and give the experience a 5/5 stars!!! Thank you!!! 🥰

Magical!

Beautiful scenery, clear blue sea, unspoilt islands. Good food on the boat, great cycling (but make sure you upgrade to E Bikes!), A lot of fun and a perfect way to spend a week.

Absolutely fabulous!

1. Sanja and Dora were Fantastic! They made an amazing team. They were both very engaged with we clients, very animated, very thoughtful and knowledgeable. They both clearly love their job and enjoy working with each other,, which adds to the experience. 2. The captain and crew of the Emanuel - also Fantastic. They were very attentive to our needs. They were also very engaging and enjoyable to talk with. 3. This was a total luck of the draw, but the other passengers we traveled with really made the whole trip amazingly enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed everyone else and there was no drama! Overall a wonderful trip which we will repeat!!

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

When approaching a. small ship experience we were not sure what to expect. What we received quieted our concerns and quickly turned into magic. Staff ♥️♥️♥️ Food ♥️♥️♥️ Fellow passengers (who quickly felt like family ) ♥️♥️♥️ My goal was to be the first one in the water and last one out ✔️ Pace of the day - perfection. We have riverboat cruised (Amawaterway), ocean liners (Regent and Oceania) but this one is SPECIAL. THANK YOU 🌼 Shout outs to Marco and Vlaho and Monica. Delights. Vhocho was our Sail Croatia rep. I will be singing your praises to all when I get home. Peace -

Amazing week onboard

Amazing week onboard Tempera with great crew. The crew worked hard to ensure everything was perfect. Dino was fantastic as tour manager with superb knowledge and great personality. He ensured we all got the most out of our week and provided a high level of personal service. Food was plentiful and to a high standard. All in all a brilliant week!

Mali Ante

The Mali Ante crew & our two tour guides worked hard to make our trip the success it was. We cannot thank them enough. The food was generous & of a high standard.

Explorer trip: Split to Dubrovnik

Cruise Director Dino was excellent. He consistently exceeded expectations. Not only did he keep us well informed of our upcoming schedule, he always provided guidance and recommendations for our free time that were very helpful. Captain and crew were also first rate. They were always friendly and very good at their respective jobs. Would recommend this to any friend.

- Rob, 16/06/2025 04:47, Travelled in a Couple

Terry

The tour leaders (Ivica and Mario) were great hosts, made sure we had a safe and interesting bike tour. The food was excellent, and the cycling on the different islands was fantastic. What a beautiful country ! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

- Terry , 16/06/2025 04:03, Travelled Solo

Amazing way to holiday in Croatia!

Just completed 7 day Split to Dubrovnik on the Tempera. Everything aboard was thoughtfully arranged and to a high standard. Our cabin was spacious enough for our needs, had strong water pressure in shower, and beds were comfy. Highlights were the fun and lighthearted fellow passengers from all over the world - we ate, drank, and laughed all week. And our consummate professional tour guide Dino - he had us completely dialed in on each island. Excellent recommendations, clear communications, and a true Croaia expert. He was a huge asset to our trip. Entire crew was professional and hardworking, especially server Maks who kept everyone fed and watered. Would not hesitate to book another Sail Croatia journey!

- Nicole Goodwin, 16/06/2025 03:44, Travelled in a Couple

Perfect vacation!

Sail Croatia was fantastic! We sailed on the Almissa and had a wonderful time. Captain Josip and his crew are everything you could ask for and made us feel like a welcomed part of their “at sea” family. Our Sail Croatia host, Lola, was just as wonderful, and words cannot accurately express how impressed we were with her. Book the Almissa through Sail Croatia — you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent in every way! Cruising and biking!

Our Sail Croatia vacation was among the very best of our lives! An ideal mix of activity, relaxation and site seeing. Sailing to a new island each day, a swim in the Adriatic, a bike tour, time to relax then open time to visit the local town, dine and return to the ship at our leisure. Guides were truly excellent, crew were friendly and very accommodating, ship was beautiful and comfortable, bikes were great quality. I cannot recommend this trip more highly!

Romantic Star

We're grateful to the crew of the Romantic Star, and to our stellar guide, Anita, for making this trip smooth and memorable. The food was great, the ship was kept spotlessly clean, the swim stops were wonderful, and the service was above and beyond. In addition to Anita, who seemed to anticipate all our needs, a special shout-out to master sailor Dragan and waiters Hrvoye and Toni for their helpfulness and friendliness. We didn't love the wine tasting/tour on Korčula, but that's a minor glitch in an otherwise fabulous week.

Amazing Experience

I went on this trip not knowing what to expect. It ended up being such a fabulous experience! Our lovely rep, Francesca went above and beyond to facilitate group dinners, activities, and options to explore each town we stopped in. The crew took us to lovely swimming spots daily and were friendly and welcoming. Mateo, our bartender, had great energy. He was so helpful and kind. Together they made a great team who exceeded my expectations.

1-6-25 Elegance Split - Dubrovnik cruise

Ship crew, Sail Croatia rep, friendliness of all travellers

- Ian, 15/06/2025 20:05, Travelled in a Couple

Best smalll ship cruise we have ever done😁👍

We had an amazing 7 day Cruise on MS KATARINA from Split to Dubrovnik and return to Split.. Everything from the wonderful girls in the booking department, though to the hostess and crew of the MS KATARINA was exceptional. It is amazing how much difference it makes to be sailing on a family owned vessel. The crew and stewardesses were extremely helpful and the service they provided was excellent. The son was the Captain, the father was a deck hand and the daughter and a cousin were our very capable stewardesses. This ensured we were very well looked after and nothing was a problem for the whole team. When I ask for a different dryer Rose than they had onboard they went ashore at our next port of call and purchased some locally for me😜👍. And of course our guide and hostess KLARA was AMAZING. Her knowledge and great sense of humour was appreciated by all passengers. Klara went out of her way to ensure all our on board and onshore experiences went like clockwork. She is an amazing host

A Hangover I’ll Never Forget

There are many mysteries in life - like which came first, the chicken or the egg, or the origin of the universe. However, one of life’s greatest mysteries is how Francesca can effortlessly wrangle 15 mature-age alcoholic cretins with grace and style, yet lacks the courage to jump from the not-so-lofty heights of the lower deck into the bluest waters you’ve ever seen. One taking far more bravery and skill than the other. Another mystery is how Mateo managed to hide his other six arms for an entire week. That man surely deserves a spot in the Guinness World Records for the most drinks made in a single day All jokes aside the entire crew of Mlini were outstanding. We came as guests and left feeling like family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for a truely unforgettable week. Lots of love, Harry and Nat

Great Family Vacation!

We had an amazing time on the Almissa! The Explorer trip was perfect for all ages. There were several families with young adults so we all made new friends. Everything was fantastic from the food to the swim stops and gorgeous islands to the fun group of people we spent the week with! Thank you for an amazing vacation.

Our holiday on the Adriatic

Everything about the cruise was amazing! The crew, the destinations, and the food served on board were all great. Aside from enjoying the beautiful Croatia islands, I also really enjoyed our swim stops! The water was a little cold at the beginning of June, but not unbearable. It was wonderful getting to know the other travelers on our boat. Sail Croatia is a 10/10 experience for families, friends, or even solo travelers.

Timmy was very welcoming and made sure everyone had a great time and help provide entertainment and comfort, Tim made it great

Couldn’t recommend enough!

Our sail week was perfect, from the crew, our sail manager and the boat itself. The swim spots and places we docked each night were amazing and our sail manager, Tim, was really organised each day and responsive to everyone’s needs. We did have some issues with the AC in our room but the team were able to fix it a few days in and Tim was really responsive to this. Overall, highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone thinking about it - it’s a week we will remember always and have made some amazing friendships along the way 🫶🏼

Trip on Jolene

The trip was awesome from the start in Dubrovnic to the end at Split. Our Skipper Nikola planned the stops with our input and his sugestions enhanced the trip. Restaurants he booked for us served Croation cuisine and were excellent value. Our hostess, Ivana, catered perfectly. serving typical Croation breakfasts and lunches. I speak for the 12 of us onboard, that this is a memory to cherish. We will be back.

- Bruce, 14/06/2025 11:50, Travelled with Friend/s

Would 100% recommend this experience to my friends

We loved our time on the navigator cruise, it might be our favourite part of our trip so far! We made life long friends and memories. Our host Johnny ( Ivca?) was amazing at keeping us informed and ensuring we were having a good time.

Great experience with exceptional crew

Couldn't recommend the sail enough! Francesa was an absolute legend and she made the trip so memorable - best week ever!

Best sail ever

Fran, Mateo and the crew were all so amazing, Couldn’t have had a better experience on the boat, loved every minute of our trip and would recommend absolutely everybody to do sail Croatia!!!

Fabulous Crew.

The Crew on Eos were professional & fulfilled their roles with friendliness & care. In addition the cycling crew had safety in mind all the time whilst also recognising & catering for different abilities. Jošco was very knowledgeable & informative with local history, nature & the geography of the islands which made our holiday so much more interesting.during the daily cycles. We appreciated the stops for coffee & a swim during the rides. Lovre dealt with a life threatening medical emergency with maturity & calmness whilst also resolving a random conflict with a stranger. Jošco dealt with the logistics of the medical incident with professionalism & care to those involved. Two outstanding employees. I was surprised the cycling crew were not given the cycling ability information we had all submitted - this would have helped them have knowledge prior to our arrival.

- Helen, 14/06/2025 07:04, Travelled with Friend/s

Novi Dan

I would like to commend the amazing crew aboard the Novi Dan! To Captain Vlado for sailing us safely through the Adriatic Sea, Toni for ensuring the boat was clean and taking us out for water sports, Lovre for the amazing food throughout the trip, Marko and Adriano for their great service ensuring we always had what we wanted! And to Elena for making sure we got the best out of everything! She was really good helping us get to where we needed to go, recommendations in town and good company! They were an extraordinary team who worked tirelessly day and night to ensure our time on Sail Croatia was an unforgettable experience!

Great way to see Croatia!

We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.

- Anne, 13/06/2025 19:51, Travelled with Family

The kind of holiday that dreams are made of.

Perfect weather! Beautiful boat with excellent staff, nothing was too much trouble.. Excellent food, various diets catered for, and a good range of drinks! But best of all was where we were … from Dubrovnik to Split we anchored in islands of such beauty and grace, so much history and interest and terrific cycle riding with excellent guides - I honestly didn’t want to leave.. Without a doubt I will be returning, with Sail Croatia!!!

- Kate, 13/06/2025 18:21, Travelled with Friend/s

Wonderful Croatia Experience!

Our second trip to Croatia was very special for several reasons. The cruise itinerary was varied and excellent overall. Anita was a superb tour manager, always making an extra effort to make everyone happy. She communicates very well, is highly organized, works extraordinarily hard, and always has a smile on her face. The Romantic Star ship is well designed, very comfortable, and the food is healthy and tasty, We were also fortunate that the other passengers were friendly and interesting. I would definitely recommend this cruise to my friends. I do feel that more time should be spent on land. We often landed mid to late afternoon. I feel that the educational component should be enhanced (eg more discussion of Croatian history). I also feel that the ship should overnight in Komiza instead of Vis. But overall the experience was wonderful. Thank you!

An amazing Sail, with great crew and Tour guide

The crew on the boat were all so great. Food was very good, and the service from all was fantastic. Our tour guide Tim was also amazing and really made our whole week on Sail Croatia so easy with the constant information and just in general a great guy! Thank you for such a great week!

Trip of a lifetime!

This was a 5 star holiday from start to finish. We had the perfect balance of exercise and free time to relax. The boat and cabins were spacious and comfortable. Lucy & Harris served us the most delicious breakfast & 3 course lunches every day. Our lead guide Josko was amazing! He gave us a daily briefing on the route and was highly organised. I felt so safe while biking on the roads, nothing was left to chance. Josko had so much local knowledge and gave us a taste of Croatian history. We learned about this beautiful country while cycling through some of the most panoramic views I've ever seen. One thing I will say was that any request my group had was accomadated immediately. I fell in love with Croatia and it's people. We are already planning our next trip. I highly recommend Sail Croatia, just do it!!! Nessa Darcy

A great balance of excercise and relaxation

I enjoyed the daily activity and tha ability to immerse yourself in the Croatian culture. The people are very friendly and accommodating.

Unforgettable Experience

I cannot fault this trip! Elena the tour manager was amazing- she was organised, enthusiastic and so personable. She went above and beyond for everything, gave great recommendations and was just a beautiful human being. The Novi Dan crew was also amazing- thank you Captain Vlado for taking us to unreal swimming spots and thanks to Chef Lovre and the rest of the crew (Toni, Marko and Adriano) for the delicious food, service and hilarious conversations. I would highly recommend the canyoning excursion if you have a chance and don’t mind a workout- it was a once in a lifetime experience. Overall, I had an unforgettable week, with beautiful people in beautiful places. Only complaint is that I’m so sad that it’s ended- thanks so much Sail Croatia ❤️❤️

The best week of my life

We had a great experience on the Split - Dubrovnik sail. Our sail rep Tim was amazing, very welcoming and well organised. He was able to give us all the information about the places we visited and the recommendations for many different things, and advocate for us when needed. The whole crew was amazing, from food and drinks to general friendliness, we are definitely going to miss them all. We had a great group of people on board and Tim was able to keep all 24 of us in line, would definitely do this trip again.

Marija magdalena

A diverse group was bought together by our Reps ability to cater for everyone and ensure we were all involved early on to build connections that continued throughout the trip. Tim’s planning and recommendations were a huge success when leaving the boat. He was able to organise a group of drunk individuals to make it to venues partnered with sail Croatia for ripper drink/entry deals

Brilliant group cycling&sailing holiday!

We were a large group of 8 couples- our ship Eos was a perfect size to cater for us and other guests. Very comfortable cabins and large social spaces. The food was very good and the staff very attentive. We booked the cycling trip - the bikes were a good quality and we loved exploring the various islands on our bikes each day - all very well led by our excellent tour manager Joške. Highly recommend!

- Genevieve , 13/06/2025 07:34, Travelled with Friend/s

Croatian islands are gorgeous

My husband andI traveled with another couple. We had a wonderful week. It was our first cruise and I was apprehensive. For me, the small number of people was essential. We were lucky that the other travelers were all kind and fun. And our leader, Anita, was terrific. Always eager to help, fun to talk with and very knowledgaable about so many aspects of being in Croatia.

- Mary, 13/06/2025 03:31, Travelled with Friend/s

A Wonderful Experience

The entire Mali Anti crew and guides were wonderful. The boat was clean, comfortable, with plenty of room. The sailing itinerary and cycling were extremely well planned out. The food was excellent and more than what could have been expected. Other guests were quite friendly and fun to be with. We were fortunate to have really good weather for sailing, cycling, and wandering at every stop. Everyone on the crew seemed to go above and beyond to make our experience great. This included the captain (Ivica), the sailors (Ivan and Ilija), the waiter (Mario - he was exceptional), the chef (Ivica - who was truly wonderful) and helper (Antonio). The two guides Miranda and Ana were outstanding throughout our entire trip. (Suggestions - the rooms could have a few more hooks to hang things on and the mirrors in the bathrooms need to be lowered about 6 inches)

Go with Sail Croatia Cycle trip

This cycling cruise was the BEST ever. I loved the quaintness of the smaller cruiseship & the crew was wonderful. Our cycle guides Luciya & Ivan P were personable, knowledgeable about Croatia & its history, super fun and safety was always a priority. Our passenger group really bonded from the beginning & I now have new friends around the world I can go visit & keep in touch with. Go For It & take a Sail Croatia Cruise

Best week everrrrr

Had the best week ever on Penelopa, made friends for life and life long memories! Ceili was great and the crew were so accommodating and went above and beyond every day, especially Alex, Charlie, and Ivan! Couldn’t recommend this week more!!!

- Nicola, 12/06/2025 18:04, Travelled Solo

It was excellent

The staff on the ship were so great and patient with a group of "old" ladies. The food was fabulous! Because I wake up so early, the chef always offered to get me some tea even if it was 2 hours before the kitchen opening. Our guides, Miranda and Anna were exceptional. On the 2nd day, I realized I wasn't going to be able to climb the hills and Miranda offered to give me her ebike. That isn't something that happens very often.
