When everyone asks me if I would do it again, the answer is always "100% YES!" I am even considering dates for next year to bring my mom along on an Explorer cruise! Sail Croatia has been doing this for so long, everything is planned and mapped out perfectly. The entire time I felt safe, and excited about what adventure was coming next! I travelled as a 30 year old solo traveler, and it was just the perfect trip for me to do. This one the trip of a lifetime, and was made even more special by our boat manager and guide, Marin. One of the first things he said to me was how his favorite part of the job was connecting with the guests on board and making lifetime friendships. He was always looking out for each and every guest, which can be hard when managing 30 or so people and their requests! Marin even had the one vital thing I didn't bring with me - a hairdryer. To say is he prepared and ready to help in any way he can is an understatement! Don't regret not doing this trip!

fantastic trip, crew and accommodations

our trip was wonderful from start to finish . crew could not have been nicer and more helpful. Special thanks to Mario for his help in the dining room. The food and the chef were marvelous. Ana and Miranda were super helpful with our daily bike rides. Best cruise we have been on and we were sad to see it end. would definitely do this cruise again. if we could… This was a hard-working crew with great attention to detail and worked well together.. They all take pride in their work. A delight to be aboard the Mali Ante!!! A once in a lifetime experience and memory!!

Wonderful week of fun.

We had a wonderful week of sailing and cycling. It was so much fun. The crew were awesome, they were so friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun week of exercise mixed with relaxation.

Fabulous crew and wonderful cruise itinerary

I really enjoyed our crew and our tour guide, Anita. They were wonderfully attentive to our needs and refreshing to be around. I will highly recommend this ship and crew to our friends.

Island hopping at its best

After travelling solo for several weeks this was a great way for me to explore the islands without having to organise anything myself. I had a great group of 20 fellow travellers, enjoyed lovely bays to swim off the boat and interesting hikes (at times challenging due to the heat) . The food served on board was excellent, and all of the crew were friendly, helpful and very professional. I really enjoyed my time on board the 'Mali Luka' and can understand why several people on my cruise had previously sailed with Sail Croatia.

Experience Croatia like no other

The swim stops were amazing! Everyday we would stop at somewhere incredible with crystal clear water, away from the world and have the place to ourselves. You could see the Croatian islands with ferries, lugging your luggage around, spend endless hours researching what to do, see and eat in each island or you could unpack once for the week, have recommendations made for you, no lugging luggage around, no watching where to place feet in pebble beaches with spiky sea urchins when you just jump straight in from the ship. We chose Katarina for its super yacht feel, and that it did! We were lucky to have only 15 in the group which meant having afternoon drinks alone in the hot tub or spending time with the others of the group should you want to, as we became a close knit family! Klara, our cruise director was fun, informative and always willing to assist us all. I’m not a history buff but her morning briefs was enough to get me interested and wanting to know more and she delivered

Wonderful Experience with Sail Croatia on Private Yacht

The crew of Ante Mocic and Fani (our hostess) made our tour exceptional. Ante is an excellent skipper always making us feel safe and cared for. He listened to our desires and went above and beyond to secure the best mooring spots and provide us with great recommendations for touring the islands. Fani is an outstanding hostess. Her meals were heavenly and her personality bright and bubbly. She was accommodating to dietary restrictions and extremely service oriented. The cuisine provided on this trip went above and beyond our expectations. The Croation islands are gorgeous and the villages are charming and laden with history. This trip was perfect in every way! Thank you Sail Croatia!

Katarina

This cruise from Split took us out to several islands and on to Dubrovnik then back to Split. The amazing staff on Katarina never missed a beat the whole week looking after our every need. What a team! The boat had every luxury you could ask for and the food on board was amazing. The other guests on board also made it a very memorable trip as we all got along famously! Lastly our tour director Karla was the best we have ever had and we have travelled a lot! Her suggestions for on shore activities were fabulous and her professionalism was beyond words. Also her sense of humour definitely made things hum along nicely. We would certainly go back and enjoy another cruise if the opportunity pops up. Loved it!

Fabulous everything trip

Five stars to all the crew and guides in our tour. The friendliness and efficiency to make sure we were all taken care of in every need was amazing! The food on the boat was lovely. Learned a new favorite beer( Radler). First time e-bike and I was very glad. All help rendered as needed , from giving daily overview of day to end if day path. Captains dinner was amazing! I loved this format of sailing and biking as we saw sights that you would never see in a traditional bus tour. Thanks to all who made this possible!

Wonderful trip

Our week spent on Sail Croatia - Almissa boat - was a wonderful experience. The boat itself was very adequate with plenty of room in the cabin, lounge areas dining areas. Our tour guide Anita was so lovely and friendly and had all the fabulous activities so well planned and organised and provided so many options outside the organised tours. Nothing was ever a problem for her. We were able to visit the blue cave only because of the boats captain and Anita knowing the weather patterns and logistics to reach that area. The cave was one of the the highlights of the tour for me. Good aboard was great and overall we couldn’t ask for more, May 2025

Brilliant !!

From start to finish the cruise and the staff exeeded our expectations , what a wonderful experience. We are already discussing our next cruise !!

Fabulous island cruise with Sail Croatia

We enjoyed an amazing 7 day island cruise on Katarina doing the Split south return itinerary. The crew were excellent from Ivana and Angela in the bar/restaurant to the sailors, chefs, room cleaner and of course Captain Ivan. Each island was different and we loved visiting Stari Grad, Hvar Town, Mljet, Dubrovnik, Korcula and Makarska as well as Split. We were blessed with fantastic sunny weather and calm seas. The group all bonded on day 1 and we enjoyed several dinners together on the islands. Highly recommended.

- Nigel, 10/06/2025 06:01, Travelled in a Couple

Relaxed

The pace of the cruise was fantastic Having breakfast and lunch on the boat and going into towns at night was perfect.Absolutely loved the swim stops(Floating noodles would have been a great addition).Loved the Captains dinner but thought it should have been on first night or last night

- Stephen, 10/06/2025 04:39, Travelled in a Couple

OK But............

While this was somewhat of a good experience, there was too much down time, internet reception was extremely poor and whilst the crew were friendly enough they did not seem to want to go above and beyond, then at the end of the cruise, we were nearly shamed in to giving a tip, it was most uncomfortable.

A beautiful week

The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.

- Carrie, 09/06/2025 17:31, Travelled with Family

Surpassed expectations

We had a wonderful week on the Princeza Diana with our guides Calum and Josip. As guides, their styles were very different, but the combination complimented our group nicely. This vacation was the best way for us to enjoy all Croatia has to offer…. So much beautiful scenery, flowers, and history. Cruising along on our e-bikes was a sensory over-load in the best possible way. The worse thing about the week was that it had to end.

- Elaine, 09/06/2025 17:08, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing!

I can’t say enough how much we loved our SailCroatia adventure! The guides were amazing and made the rides so enjoyable and the boat staff were so kind and thoughtful. Would recommend to anyone and would book again!

Best tour!

Tour manager Johnny made the sail so fun and cared so much about everyone! He brought all the vibes!!!

- Anonymous, 09/06/2025 14:20, Travelled with Friend/s

Simply the Best

I recently did a Croatia sail aboard Kapetan Jure, and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Our tour leader, Johnny, was incredible — such a down to earth guy with a great sense of humour and loads of local knowledge. His recommendations made every stop special and his easygoing nature really set the tone for the whole trip. The deck crew were absolute legends — friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat. A special shout-out to Papi, our captain, who was so warm and welcoming and made us all feel right at home on his boat. One of the biggest highlights was meeting such a great bunch of people and creating memories I’ll never forget. Riding bikes through the stunning Mljet National Park and going zip-lining were also major standouts. If you’re considering a Croatia sail, I genuinely couldn’t recommend it more.

Great experience on the Tempera - Explorer Cruise!

We had a great experience with Sail Croatia and would absolutely recommend to our friends and family! Ivana, our tour manager, was so helpful during our cruise! She offered great advice, answered all our questions and gave a great overview each day of what we could expect. I really appreciated all of the communication throughout our cruise week. The crew on the Tempera was great as well! Our lunches on board were fantastic as well. We were definitely well fed by the chefs.

- Lindsey, 09/06/2025 13:20, Travelled in a Couple

Superb Experience and a must when in Croatia

Ivana and the crew were absolutely wonderful and made this experience a must to do when in Croatia. Everything went smoothly and timely and was well organised. I can’t praise our tour Manager Ivana enough. She went out of her way many times to give such in-depth information and arrange excursions and activities for us that was far above what was expected or required.

- Kaz, 09/06/2025 13:17, Travelled Solo

Great bike rides from Split to Dubrovnik:

Wonderful Guides: josip and Calem, Princess Diana Boat and awesome Group. We loved the rides each day. Views were amazing. There were some days with a bit of elevation which made the bike climbs extra sweet with unexpected views.. Guides were great at prepping us for the day and helping those that needed assistance. The boat was clean and spacious. The best part were the new friends we made from around the world. Loved our week..

- LynnD, 09/06/2025 13:07, Travelled with Friend/s

Outstanding week

The biking leaders Ana and Miranda were just fabulous, not only leading us on beautiful rides, but ensuring everyone was together and safe. We were also looked forward to Ana's daily stories. The entire crew cheerfully made sure we were well fed and taken care of. The only negative I have is that while none of our group smoked, cigarette smoke entered our cabins through vents. That should be addressed.

The Most Amazing Experience of My Life – Sail Croatia ❤️

Sail Croatia was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. The staff were absolutely incredible- so loving, kind, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You could tell they really cared about our experience, and that made all the difference. The boat itself was immaculate. Everything was kept so neat and tidy throughout the entire week, and it truly felt like a floating home. But what made the trip even more special were the people. I met some of the most amazing souls – people who started as strangers and became true friends, and even family. There's a unique bond that forms when you’re sailing, sharing meals, and cycling long miles. I can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for the memories, the friendships, and the magic. I’ll treasure this forever!

Josip and Calum were wonderful and made the trip one that we will remember forever. They were professional and covered all the details of the trip. They were a great combo and made the trip special. The whole crew of the Lady Diana was outstanding..

Sail Croatia

The Guides were incredible! They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We really appreciated having a pannier to store all our things so we didn’t have to use a backpack. The staff on the boat were accommodating, the food was delicious and the scenery was spectacular!!!

- Cris, 09/06/2025 10:56, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing trip

The small sized ships allowed access to smaller, quieter, and less busy ports allowing access to the real charm of Croatia. We loved the varied destinations, ports, and rides. No two days were the same. It also allowed us to really interact with the other guests and get to know them well. Our guide’s knowledge of the area and its history was excellent and very informative.

Bucket list ticked

After doing a bare boat charter around Turkey years ago, we wanted to do same in Croatia, however as keen cyclist was saw the perfect blend of boating and cycling in what Sail Croatia offered … and without all the hassle of a bare boat. The crew and cycle guides were first class … hats off to all. Thanks for the memories.

- David Lovell, 09/06/2025 08:13, Travelled with Friend/s

Fantastic Time

The overall trio was awesome, especially our Captain Toma. He was very knowledgeable about the area and where to go and we got to experience so many cool and different cities

- Chris, 09/06/2025 08:04, Travelled with Friend/s

It just gets better

This was our forth sail Croatia trip. The previous ones were the cycle trip and we decided to go for a less energetic experience. There was definitely an improvement on our previous trips with regards to both the food and accommodation on board. The chef was producing quality 3 course meals for almost 40 people in a ships galley kitchen. The presentation was exceptional and always plenty of food for everyone. The villages and towns we visited were beautiful as always. Staff were mint.

Einmaliges Erlebnis

Die Crew war super und die täglichen Schwimmstops einfach wundervoll. Die kleinen Hafenstädte so wunderschön. Eine wirklich wunderbare Erfahrung. Es lohnt sich! Die Kabinen waren groß genug und auch eine Dusche und Toilette haben nicht gefehlt. Wann immer man Fragen hatte oder etwas brauchte konnte man sich an die Crew wenden. Es gibt viele Angebote, die man wahrnehmen kann, wenn man angelegt hat, man ist nixht verpflichtet. Alles kann, nichts muss. :) Die Natur und Schönheit des Wassers sind wirklich einzigartig. Ich hätte gerne noch eine Woche dran gehangen ... ;) Danke an Ceasar, Kristina, Barbara, Josep und seine Crew und die Mitfahrer für diese Erfahrung!!!

A Must-Do Vacation!

This was my first cycle and sail trip and it will not be my last! Everything far exceeded my expectations, from the friendly hardworking crew, the amazing guides, especially Marine who was so kind and a wealth of knowledge, the food, the ship, the incredibly beautiful Dalmatian islands, and the Croatian people I met along the way! I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

- Tracey, 09/06/2025 07:51, Travelled with Friend/s

Concept (power bikes) combined with Croatian touring. Fabulous cruise and cycletrip for couples who want to active lifestyle. The ship was newer and immaculate. The crew were caring, couteus, and helpful.

Matilda and Srdon biking trip

Our bike leaders Matilda and Srjon were amazing. The group of people ( smaller group). We became like a family on board. Keno was so pleasant serving, a real gentleman. The kitchen cooks so cheerful and accommodating. The captain of course got us safely to all our stops and then of course Mr muscles, the deck hand, hoisted all those bikes up and down. Always pleasant. Great crew. Bonnie

All you could need Croatian cruise.

Sail Croatia made booking this cruise so easy. Their website is user friendly with great after hours service. The tour guide onboard our boat, the Tempera (Ivana) made our trip something to remember. She was very approachable, knowledgeable and above all a people person. There was always plenty of tours and activities to do and of course these are at your own expense. But their are also plenty of things to do that don't need money. The ship's crew were fantastic with the likes of Max and Milan going above and beyond.. Plenty of good food was in supply by the rated chefs. The Captains dinner for me was a standout. Of course if you have special dietary needs it is best to communicate this to them as early as you can. We felt safe the whole time. The waters in the Adriatic Sea were very tranquil for our trip. Swimming off the back of the boat was a fun affair for everyone aboard. The crew made the environment onboard fun for people from all around the world to relax and enjoy themselves.

Tempera with Ivana

Boat and crew were fantastic. Places we went and the information we were given were outstanding . Best week of my life. The meals were out of this world good., and lots of it ! Ivana gave us the history and background of everywhere we went , and tips and side tours, so we knew we were seeing and doing everything we needed to at each location. Highly recommend Sail Croatia

Tempera - Explorer

Ivana our Tour Manager / Guide gave us very informative information about each port prior to our stopover . It was always honest and helpful. She was accommodating for any extra assistance and was delightful to have as our host . The chefs provided amazing food every day, 3 courses for lunch and dinner ( Captains dinner evening 4!) Staff on board were there ready to help with a happy and polite demeanour. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to my family and friends for a memorable experience of some beautiful islands to explore and experience.🇭🇷❣️

Fantastic experience

Great ship (Emanuel), crew, guides (Ivica and Mario), and group of fellow cyclists. We did the ebike option (like almost everyone else) and it made the whole trip a enjoyable experience. Seeing the islands at a slower pace, stopping for swims and hearing the island history was great. Would recommend to all.

Cruising the Med

We have just spent a week with sail Croatia going from split to . Dubrovnik. Everything about this holiday was amazing. Our cycle guides Marin and Karlo were knowledgeable as well as friendly and helpful. The boat itself was a beautiful ship while the crew and Captain couldn’t do enough to make our time on board comfortable and enjoyable. Each island we docked at we rode around and we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the area with many swims. The cabins were comfortable and clean. Thanks Sail Croatia for our bike cruise around the Mediterranean we will remember this holiday fondly.

Unforgettable week in Croatia 🇭🇷

I have just returned from an unforgettable week sailing and cycling onboard the Eos. Everything went so well from beginning to end. The boat was fantastic.. The staff catered for our every need. Lucy & Harris on the interior looked after us so well with food & drinks. The chefs did an incredible job catering for all the different dietary requirements. Our cycle guides were amazing. Joško & Lovre took such good care of us all. Their passion for their job and their country is evident. They brought us to the most beautiful places. This week onboard has been one of my favorite ever experiences. Croatia and its people are truly wonderful and I am completely in love. Puno ljubavi ❤️
