We cruised on the Salve di Mare and had a great experience from start to finish! Monica in Sales was my first point of contact and she was friendly, professional and always quick to respond. A pleasure to work with! The cruise itself far exceeded our expectations, primarily because of our Tour Manager, Vicko. He was outstanding!! Not only did he keep us informed about each day's itinerary and the optional excursions, he provided rich historical context and interesting trivia as well. He is a walking textbook on Croatia - but not in a stuffy professor-like way. Everyone on board absolutely loved him! Our bartenders, Marco and Vlaho, were also very service-oriented and friendly. They did an excellent job. As for the food, it was delicious! The chefs make everything on board so each dish was fresh and tasty. Passenger-wise, there were only 40 of us so we were able to get to know one another rather quickly. I suspect that many new (life long?) friendships were formed. Thanks, Sail Croatia!

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

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.

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!

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

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
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
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
The staff were so helpful. The boat is fully kitted out with everything you might require. It was comfortable and relaxing.

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!

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.

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
We had the most amazing sailing experience in Croatia thanks to our incredible crew! Captain Simona was outstanding – so professional, responsible, and always making sure we felt safe and comfortable. She explained every detail of our sailing adventure and made the whole journey both fun and educational. Our host Fani was equally amazing. Every single meal she prepared was absolutely delicious – truly a 10/10! She went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of, and her warm personality made the trip even more special. Together, Simona and Fani made this the best trip we’ve ever had. We plan to do this sailing adventure in the future and will definitely request them both for our next journey. Thank you so much for giving us memories we’ll never forget! Oswaldo, Elizabeth, Daniel and Tatiana

The staff were wonderful, friendly and professional and very eager to please. The boat was comfortable with sun, shade, and AC. the swim stops were beautiful. The countryside was wonderful. Our unplanned extra time in dubrovnik was handled well. The trip to Montenegro was way to long with the border crossings. The cruise leader was so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and varied. Our whole family aged 21 to 78. Loved every minute. I have told many people about it and have given them information.
- gaye, 10/09/2025 00:21, Travelled with Family
The crew on the Mali Ante were absolutely exceptional. Everyone was so kind and helpful and the chef was amazing, making us the most delicious food. The tour guide Sasa was a delight, making jokes and helping everyone on the boat feel welcome and included while also giving us the information we needed about our destinations. I had an amazing time on my cruise and would definitely go again!
- Kendra, 09/09/2025 21:54, Travelled with Family

Bike leaders Sanja and Miranda provided great routes. They provided top drawer guidance, recommendations, bike support and were very flexible with us. Ship crew were friendly and ship was nice with friendly clothes lines.. island stops were amazing .

A brilliant week aboard the Katerina. The crew were outstanding as was our guide Vedran. We visited many beautiful places and were given plenty of information on V’s daily talks. The food was excellent. Can’t recommend this cruise enough.
- Jo, 09/09/2025 06:41, Travelled with Family

- Daniel , 08/09/2025 21:10, Travelled with Family
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
The boat trip between Split and Dubrovnik Croatia is amazing with beautiful islands and an exceptional ship crew. The captain had to deal with bad weather and modified our stops to minimize the impact and maximize our itinerary with fun and exciting stops. The crew kept everyone safe, provided us exceptional meals, provided us excellent service and kept the ship clean.
- John , 08/09/2025 18:55, Travelled with Family
Overall, we had a great experience on our catamaran cruise. Skipper, Ivan, knew all the great swim spots as well as local restaurants. Seeing Croatia on a catamaran was great however, we were surprised that the boat did not have biodegradable toilet paper and we were not able to flush the paper but needed to put it in an uncovered bin next to us. This should have been made clearer on the description. Being on a boat was a great way to see the beautiful country.

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!

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.

I had an amazing time on sail Croatia, the whole crew were incredible. The chef did an amazing job and the food was delicious every single day. Renato our bar tender was very fun and entertaining and Tin tin was a fantastic tour host. He was super friendly and we loved chatting with him through out the day. He gave us updates every day of what we would be doing and we was always there to help with anything we needed or any questions we had!!
- Kyrenia, 08/09/2025 05:22, Travelled Solo
Amazing time on the 7 day Sail Croatia navigator cruise. We visited so many amazing islands so many people miss out on when visiting Croatia! The chef did an amazing job with a buffet breakfast and delicious lunches everyday and the rest of the crew, including the captain were great. Daily swim stops were fun and so many extra activities to choose from if you feel the need. The best part was having an awesome group of people to party and adventure with- I miss them already!

We were a family of 6 sailing from Debrovnik to Split with the catamaran Jubilo. the yacht is a 2023 model and is clean and modern and well kept. All the equipment onboard was a good working condition. The best memory of our trip was the many swim stops, the clear and warm water, the Croatian cuisine, the nice warm weather, the nice restaurants and the many little villages and towns that were recommended to us to visit by two wonderful people. Our Captain was Ivan and our Hostess was Fani, two most competent people in their jobs on the yacht and two wonderful personalities telling us with the utmost respect where to go what to see where to eat what activities to enjoy and none of these suggestions ever disappointed us. Ivan was always watching the weather and took us to the best spots we could have asked for, chatted to us about the culture and history of Croatia. Fani was the perfect host and cooked us the most wonderful Croatian meals in the small kitchen and in storms.

It was the best week of my life! The group had a great vibe from day 1 and it was so easy to make friends as a solo traveller. The activities offered by sail croatia are always fun, although be prepared to spend some money but they are definitely worth it. The crew were always helpful and friendly, and they even joined in for karaoke. The boat was extremely clean and well maintained despite the weather we experienced. We had the best sail croatia representative in Lovre, he was well organised and made everyone feel welcome from the start. Lovre gave great activity suggestions, and also food and clubbing suggestions were always good. Lovre's knowledge of the area was very impressive and he would always have an answer to every question.

You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about making sure everyone has the best experience possible. From fun games to sharing local insights, he kept us entertained every step of the way. On top of everything, I’ve walked away with friendships that will last a lifetime, which made the trip even more special.

From start to finish the trip was amazing. Well planned, stunning swim stops, interesting hikes and excellent guiding by our 2 leaders Mate and Sanja. Great itinerary The crew went out of their way to make our group feel welcome and as a result we all blended very well ( age 14 to 70) The cabins were comfortable, the boat spotlessly clean and meals very generous. Can't recommend highly enough.

Our time with Sail Croatia could not have been better. Communication was excellent on the lead up to and during our holiday. Everything was organised brilliantly! The standard of our catamaran was excellent. And our skipper Igor was an absolute star! The islands, coastlines, bays, restaurants, villages and towns were simply stunning. We will be going back for sure!
