My third time with sail Croatia. Best boat. Best crew. Best guides, and by far the best FOOD. The cook was so much better than the other ships I was on. Big compliments to the chef!!! Well done.

We both had a wonderful time , Our upper deck cabin was spacious and cool . The boat crew very professional and friendly. All meals were delicious and well presented. We chose Ebikes , we're on holiday so hills were easy . Bikes great to ride , internal hub gears foolproof and great brakes for the long decent . The daily rides good balance of terrain and scenery . Our guides Tonka and Anita were wonderful, Tonka at the front keeping an course and safe and Anita at the back motivating the stragglers. They also did ride briefings in the morning and suggestions for restaurants and things to see when in port . Thanks to all , great fun 😁

Awesome trip What an amazing time we had on Emanuel with 29 on board. Our guides Josko and Ana were brilliant and passionate about their country and history which was shared with us at stops along the way. Great crew and Ben our waiter/bar tender is an amazing young man who worked non stop to make sure everyone was fed and watered. The meals George produced were great. The whole trip was amazing, E-bikes the best, cycling the islands an experience not to be missed and great company of the other 27 passengers. This trip is up there as one of the better holidays we have had. We'll certainly recommend it to others. Thanks for a memorable holiday.

The crew on MS Emanuel were fantastic. The captain owns the boats d you can really tell in the way he personally runs the ship as well as in the crew he has hired. Perhaps even more notable were our guides. Our lead guide, Jobsko was really great. You can feel his leadership from the first time he speaks to address the group. He was great at the cycle route planning and nimble execution to respond to issues along the route. He always had everyone’s safety and comfort top of mind. He explained everything clearly and answered all questions until everyone was clear and ready. Josip was also paired with a second guide who is working her way up. It was great to see him mentoring her and giving her the opportunity to lead and get the experience and confidence she needs to move up. As a team the entire crew a d guides worked well together and with all needed communications to ensure the guests had the best trip possible. M

Anita and Tonka as well as the crew on the boat made this an incredible trip! The bike rides included a good mix of challenge as well as “Story Time” to learn about the area and sights we were seeing. I really appreciated their mix of humor and kindness on the trip. These two ladies truly made this a memorable experience. I’d highly recommend this trip. For those worried about the biking aspect, the e-bikes are a great option.

What a fantastic time we had, not being a cyclist riding the EBikes was the best thing. We were able to take in all the views that each day gave us. Our cycle guides Josko and Ann were simply the best. Loved the tales we were told at many stops. Thank you also to our crew, Ben our waiter was amazing one person to look after 29 of us. We will be back

Our Cycling Croatia Cruise with Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations from the quality of the boat and bikes, the professional staff and our exceptional guides. Tonka was our lead and her communication and preparedness made each of our rides enjoyable and rewarding. We had fun, laughs and met so many wonderful people, it could not have been better. Thank you for the memorable experience.
- Sheila, 06/05/2025 01:38, Travelled in a Couple
The bike guides, Tonka and Anita were fantastic as well as the boat crew. Loved the stories and history lessons. Comfortable accommodations on the boat and good meals. Beautiful rides with some challenging spots. Beautiful country. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire week.
- Judy, 05/05/2025 19:29,
The combination of sailing to see the landscape and biking through the country side was superb. Loved be educated by tour guides on history of Croatia.
- Enedina , 05/05/2025 19:21, Travelled with Friend/s
Josko and Ana were absolutely fantastic guides. We had the most wonderful time. They took us to amazing places that we will never forget. We really enjoyed the short stories that they shared with us about the histories from towns/islands that we cycled and sailed through. We were well informed every day about our cycling routes and they always made it such a fun briefing. They were always professional and respectful. We would highly recommend them and would love to go on another cycling tour again. We also loved meeting all of the crew. Special shout out to Benjo our bartender and waiter who worked tirelessly for 8 days. There was nothing that was too hard for him and he always worked with a smile on his face. Such a lovely young man. We had many, many laughs with him. George our chef excited us day after day with amazing food. Well done it was delicious. Overall we had the time of our lives. Thank you.

Tour guides Tonka and Anita made this the best tour I’ve ever been on. They truly care about making it the Magical experience it was. My daughter and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this biking tour to anyone. Thank you for the memories!! Susan

I travelled solo, on the Emanuel boat on the Cycling cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Cycling was a great way to see the different islands of Croatia. The guides (Ana and Josko) knew the area really well, and organised a fun ride on each island with beautiful views. The e-bike allowed me to sweat or relax as much as I wanted. There were 3 people who got a regular bike (no e-assist) but they were pretty serious cyclists. I'd recommend an e-bike unless you want a difficult bike ride on your holiday. I appreciated the daily stops for swimming off the boat too! I really enjoyed the schedule of breakfast and lunch on the boat - With a 2-3 hour cycle in between. And then you get your own free time to explore an island after lunch. Great way to explore, relax, eat local, and experience each island. As a solo traveler, I paid a 50% extra to have my own room. It's worth it for me, but to each their own. I'd highly recommend this cruise, and hope I get to go again soon!!
- Andrew, 05/05/2025 12:34, Travelled Solo
Firstly Josko and Ana created a fun, informative, considerate and expertly supported experience. We felt extremely secure in their leadership. Secondly the whole group were inclusive, fun and we very quickly felt like we had known each other forever. Thirdly the Captain Ante and crew who were all so friendly and helpful, made sure our holiday was smooth and comfortable, with lots of swim stops and perfect timing. And finally the scenery, rides,and weather were all breathtaking ( literally as I was on an analogue bike !!) A truly life changing experience - would definately recommend . Thank you .
- Heather, 05/05/2025 11:10, Travelled in a Couple
The cycle experience was amazing. Great bikes, easy to use, even for late 60 year olds relatively new to ebikes. Each day was another 'wow' experience. Josko and Ana great tour guides who each day explained what could expect the following day and also during the cycle. The islands were fantastic, not too busy in mid April, weather for us was brilliant..21-33 each day and fine Our negatives were beds not very comfortable. The food was varied some great, some not so,
- Dianne , 05/05/2025 08:48, Travelled in a Couple
A great week on board Emanuel, excellent team onboard looking after us. This holiday exceeded our expectations. Ana and Josh the leaders were totally professional and. great fun, giving us a fabulous week of cycling trips, and dealing expertly with unexpected emergencies.

The crew definitely, the food , the stops on the islands and the very knowledgeable tour guides Miranda and Josip definitely made this trip our top one.. should be on everyone’s bucket list!
- Linda , 02/05/2025 10:52, Travelled in a Couple
The Sail Cycle is one of my favorite holidays to date. The Emmanuel was clean, comfortable and the crew went out of their way to make us feel at home. Chef George’s meals were not only delicious but also kept us energized for each ride. Our guides Miranda and Josip were friendly, helpful and always ready with a fun fact about Croatia. They kept us informed about the day’s plans and ensured everything went smoothly. I can’t recommend this trip enough. It was truly an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, great food, and even better people.
- Priyanka, 29/04/2025 19:46, Travelled with Friend/s
The crew went to great lengths daily to address any questions or concerns. The food was great and if you liked your morning eggs other than was offered, the cook took orders. The cycling staff was very attentive to your safety and to each person physically being able to do days planned route. All in all great service for an affordable price.
- Jim, 28/04/2025 09:55, Travelled with Family
The itinerary was excellent as was the cycling with great scenic routes that allowed us to see parts of the country we would not otherwise have done. The weather and amazing group of people were the icing on the cake. What was less good was the interstaff bickering which at times bordered on unprofessional and was making some guests feel a little uncomfortable Finally it should be stressed to guests to absolutely not jump from the top deck which is slippy and one guest really badly bruised herself in slipping off
- Anne, 28/04/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Anne, thank you for your 4-star review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the itinerary, scenic cycling routes, and the great group atmosphere—it’s wonderful to know these made your experience special. We’re sorry to hear that some onboard interactions made you feel uncomfortable. While the crew onboard were newly formed and still finding their rhythm, we agree professionalism must always be maintained, and we will share this with the relevant teams. Regarding the safety concern, we appreciate you highlighting it. Our onboard representative does cover this during the welcome briefing, and signage is visible and in place on the top deck. Thank you again for your helpful review.
We loved the Sail Croatia Biking adventure. Well organized, safe, good bikes, great guides and boat crew.
- Hilde, 06/02/2025 00:51, Travelled in a Couple
The entire trip could not have been any better.. The Entire staff from our Captain to the Cook, the wait staff & our bike guides made this trip one of the best. Thank you!!
- Michelle, 20/11/2024 04:01,
Miranda, Tonka, Ivica x 2, Ilija, Ivan, Miro, Mate. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We had the most interaction with our guides Miranda and Tonka and with our server Miro...they were so wonderful. There was nothing they would not do for us...rolled with the punches...gave us everything we needed...and more! The cabins were a good size, lots of storage and lots of hot water. The itinerary was perfect and we got to see lots of places both on and on the bikes. We had some travel problems but not one issue while on the cruise. Loved it!
- Carolyn, 16/11/2024 19:53, Travelled with Friend/s
I loved Ivice (our ride leader) and Anita (the sweep/story teller extraordinaire). Ivice made every ride fun and kept an eye on each one of us to make sure we stayed safe! The rides were beautiful and the terrain provided a great workout. When the weather looked iffy, Ivice and the captain came up with an alternate plan that was also fun and rewarding. The e-bikes were terrific; powerful yet easy to use! Anita always brought interesting stories each day and planned some really fun activities for the evening. Since I have been back I have raved about both of these people and recommended the trip to a number of people. I apologize for the delay in submitting this review but I did not return to the states for 34 days. Both of these people are true assets to your company and I can’t say enough good things about each of them! Thank you for a fabulous vacation and please let them know how much we loved being on vacation with them!! With deep affection, Ginnie Daine

Our group of six experienced an amazing week of beautiful scenery and wonderful people. We had 26 other tourists from six countries, and we all enjoyed each other's company. The tour guides -- Miranda and Tonka -- made it all happen. From the start, they encouraged mingling. They challenged us with the rides, and they engaged us with their stories. Super memorable trip. Pomalo!
- David, 22/10/2024 01:24, Travelled with Friend/s
We had a great time. Was a bit disappointed with our cabin as it was below deck, but we should have booked way in advance to get an above deck one. The staff were fabulous Ivan and Lucija were lovely and helped everyone on board if they had any issues. Will certainly recommend this trip to friends.

I have done a lot of travelling. This is one of the best trips I have ever been on. The boat, staff, food and staff were excellent. The key to the trip was Ivan and Lucy as group leaders. They did an excellent job and worked together very well. It was obvious that they had spent considerable time the previous evening organizing events for the following day. They were always very upbeat and made a point of socializing with us during. Ivan was a great bike leader. He ensured our rides were as safe as possible. He was very helpful when people had trouble with their bikes. He was a good first aider when there were minor injuries (the accidents were not his fault). He organized a special trip at the request of one of our group. Lucy did a very good job with presentations during our various rides. She also ensured that everything was done safely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with intermediate biking skills, as long as the group leaders were Ivan and Lucy.
- Phil , 19/10/2024 08:24, Travelled in a Couple
Our guides Miranda and Tonia were the best! They were encouraging and helpful and knowledgeable! The boat was nice however I might mention a few things they could improve. Be more transparent about pricing of drinks. Choices of breakfast food could be better. Like more fruit and better toaster. Squeegee for showers to help with humidity in the rooms. Better WiFi in rooms. The ports were amazing and captain was great at parking the boat! I love Croatia and the people who live there are friendly and kind! We will be back!
- Demetria, 18/10/2024 10:01, Travelled with Friend/s
Excellent manager Ana, cycle guide Dora and crew. They couldn't have been more helpful. Itinerary promptly and smoothly rearranged if necessary according to circumstances eg weather. Definitely recommend this trip with Sail Croatia.

Ivice and Anita did a fantastic job planning our cycling activities, telling us about the various towns and their highlights, and providing considerable assistance with restaurants, additional experiences, and answering innumerable questions. They were SO customer focused and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The ship's crew was similarly helpful - from Captain Ivan's thoughtful route updates to keep us in good weather to Paola's friendly service in the galley/bar and Olga's attention to detail in keeping our cabins clean and comfy. The meals were tasty and nutritious, and the e-bikes were new and very effective at assisting us up the sometimes steep inclines. This was a great way to see the Croatian islands - highly recommend!
- Bill, 17/10/2024 16:05, Travelled with Friend/s
I throughly enjoyed my sail and cycling tour. The cycling leaders (Maria and Jay) and crew staff were wonderful. They kept us all safe and comfortable on the cycling routes and on the ship. They were there for us to make recommendations for our free time. I will highly recommend Sail Croatia to friends and family!

A well organised week with a lovely boat and great crew. Our cabin was clean and tidy and the food was plentiful. Rides were challenging and well organised. We spent time with friends and met plenty of new ones. A great bunch of people onboard.

Not only was the location - scenery, natural beauty, food etc. - memorable, the way the biking tours were planned and the exceptional guides - Ivica and Anita - were a major part of this amazing trip. I can’t say enough about the friendliness and the warmth both demonstrated. It’s line all of us made new friends. They were an integral part of the fun we had. I wouldn’t mind doing the trip over again but only with these 2.
- Arvind, 16/10/2024 21:01, Travelled with Friend/s
Our cruise was soooo much fun! Our hosts Ivica and Anita were the best, and I miss them. It was hard to leave. They did a superb job of planning, leading, nurturing, creating a fun and caring atmosphere. We were traveling as a group of 16 who already knew each other. The combination of the wonderful boat with a room of our own, and the energetic excursions to see the countryside made this the best vacation we have ever taken. I'm telling my friends and family that they just HAVE to do it. - Susan

We had a fabulous time meeting people from several countries. The Princess Diana was clean and comfortable and the guides and crew were friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The daily schedule allowed for cycling, exploring the towns and either relaxing or swimming. There was plenty to eat and the food was well prepared and quite good overall. We learned about Croatian history, customs and culture from our extremely knowledgeable guides who made us feel that we were welcome guests in their country. The e-bike s were good quality and easy to get used to. I would recommend this tour to anyone at a reasonable level of fitness. Some rides were strenuous, but well worth the effort. Bravo Sail Croatia, well done!!

Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.
- Brendan, 15/10/2024 19:15, Travelled with Family
This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!

Enjoyed the cycling and swimming as well as the company of the other clients. We developed a real comraderie along with our two amazing guides and crew. There was much fun and laughter despite a very professional approach by the crew. Both guides had excellent knowledge of the islands and Croatia, making for some very interesting talks and discussions. Sailing gave an interesting and varied overview of the country. Advise bringing sand shoes for stony beaches

Once on board the very comfortable boat, we were well looked after by delightful guides, good chefs, bar staff and boat crew. Good quality e-bikes, excellent guiding around five beautiful Croatian islands, the crew having to adjust the itinerary due to the weather conditions. The other passengers were similar ages to us, loved cycling and the exploring of new places so there were plenty of common interests.

We did the Southern Split Sail and Cycle tour and it was absolutely amazing! I took the classic bike and there was no shortage of great cycling. ....if you are into climbing and zipping down hills and taking in breathtaking scenery along coastlines. I felt a wonderful sense of accomplishment and Ilivica and Anita, our tour guides, made sure the classic bike riders were well-accommodated along with the larger group of e-biker riders. They also provided wonderful recommendations of things to do and places to eat while island hopping. I would highly recommend this cycling tour to any active-minded person wishing to explore the Croatian islands. Great fun!

- Kristján, 14/10/2024 08:19, Travelled in a Couple
Cycling is a fantastic way to see the beautiful scenery of the Croatian coast and islands. E-bikes make it easy and being based on a boat means you don't have to re-pack every night. The crew were fantastic; cheerful and helpful at all times. Our fellow passengers were also great - I guess self selecting for an activity based trip. Our cabin was small but clean and comfortable - with a bit of engine noise in the bottom of the boat. Food on the boat was plentiful and fresh, if a little basic. We loved the trip and are trying to decide which route to do next.

Ivica and Anita are what makes Croatia great! Warm Welcomes, Safe and on schedule planning. Informed and endearing. You will enjoy the rides but we think you will love the people even more. Excellent communication throughout the trip, including when plans needed to pivot for our best enjoyment. Interested in feedback I can only imagine each year trips with them will get better and better. They are pros.
