Loved the opportunity to explore the beautiful Croatian coast on Queen Jelena. Docking in the heart of a different place each day and being able to explore into the evening instead of rushing back to a ship that would be moving on before dinner set this apart from traditional cruises. Swimstops in quiet coves were another highlight of every day. We met some fabulous people, we spent the week with Canadians, Australians and Americans as well as others from England and Scotland. Meeting people from so many places and having the opportunity to socialise with them through the week, was another great strength of the trip. We’ll be keeping in touch! The food was good, the bar nearly always open and the crew helpful and worked hard to ensure we enjoyed every part of our holiday. We had an amazing tour guide with us throughout the trip, who did so much for us, including entertaining us. I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone wanting something a little different and a memorable holiday.

If you dream of sailing then this trip is for you. To see Croatian islands while sailing is a unique experience. Start with breakfast, Cruise in beautiful clear waters, swim for a couple of hours, eat a 3 course lunch and then explore a beautiful different island each day for 7 days. Plenty of activities to choose from as you go. A family run boat so service is key and they pride themselves on making your journey an exceptional one. I will recommend to all family and friends.

I really enjoyed the program…. Relaxing mornings , swim stops and lunch. It really made me wind down. Lovely Croatian islands to discover and evening meals on shore. Katarina is a well appointed ship. Extremely clean and comfortable and the staff were great. Very helpful and attentive without being too familiar. I loved it.

Our Sail Croatia Rep, Klara, set the tone for the week with her excellent communication and offbeat humour. The Olimp was a beautiful ship, really luxurious and the crew were friendly and helpful. The food was perfect - not to heavy so we could enjoy the fabulous island restaurants and swimming off the back of the boat was so exciting. That left the Islands to spin their own magic on us - stunning scenery, great outings on bikes, buggy and jeep and discovering the history and local wines made for a superb holiday. Best of all we met like minded people from around the World we enjoyed spending time with. 5 stars all round.

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.

The boat was spotless, the staff were really helpful and polite. Ioana our tour manager was great, always on the ball organising everything and tailoring the trips to suit the guests. We visited some beautiful places and got to see them in the daytime and evening as we were in port overnight. We did have a slight hiccup with one lunchtime meal when nearly half the guests had an upset stomach after eating the tuna. This could be something that they need to look at and maybe learn from. That been said I would definitely holiday with the company again, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
- Simon, 09/09/2025 12:16, Travelled in a Couple
Unforgettable holiday visiting many beautiful islands. Captain and Crew were fantastic and our trip was made even more special with our host Ioana both knowledgeable and fun very helpful going above and beyond booking not only our group tours but also booking and advising restaurants as so many to choose. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food was fabulous highly recommend Favourite memory of the holiday the dolphin pod swimming along side the boat travelled the world and not seen so many dolphins at once 🐬🐬

The food was fabulous, the staff were hardworking and efficient. The ship was exceptional and facilities were 5*. Couple of small things that would make it better: -2 x cabin keys; -Hand soap and shower gel (information stated these were provided and to being shampoo & conditioner, but these were provided); -Coffee machine and tea facilities available at all times. We are very early risers and look forward to a morning coffee or tea. Had an amazing week, thank you and would happily sail with Sail Croatia again. Many thanks ⛴️😁

This was my first cruise tour. The small group on the boat and all the staff made this a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Shout out to Tour Manager Mia who managed the schedules and plans perfectly and always available with suggestions. The other crew including Mio and Matina were great. Enjoyed the swims and stops in different islands/ towns. I wanted to remain on the boat for a repeat experience! I would not want to join a big cruise liner

- Jo, 09/09/2025 06:41, Travelled with Family
The boat and crew exceeded our expectations, very professional, engaging and helpful. Daily agenda updates on our “What’s app” group chat. Food was good, bar was available to our group after hours. Island stops were wonderful, Hvar was my favorite.. Would recommend Sail Croatia to my family and friends.

My friend and I traveled on the Katarina from August 24 to the 31st. The yacht was absolutely beautiful. The dining room is stunning and all the shared space, upper deck with lounge chairs, hot tub, to the couches on the main level, we’re extremely well designed and comfortable. We stayed in the lower level and the rooms were spacious. I can’t say enough great things about the crew. The captain was readily available. Our host, Nikos, is amazing. He provided daily itinerary, along with suggestions for tours and restaurants. Nikos recommendations were excellent, in addition to being a great person and enjoyable to be around. The daily breakfast and lunch were spectacular. The staff is top-notch from the hostesses, cooks, housekeeping, and deck hands. We enjoyed the format. Sailed mornings, had breakfast and then a swim stop at every destination. The captains dinner was so much fun with live music and dancing all night. I really enjoyed the guest that we sailed with.

The friendliness of all crew members immediately made everyone feel comfortable and ready for an enjoyable, relaxing and memorable time. Nikos the tour guide was extremely patient, informative and funny. Nothing was too much trouble. Captain Ivan was very approachable and happy to have you learn more about the runnings of the boat. Ivana and Angela were the hostesses that always knew what we wanted and needed. Their smiling demeanour was so welcoming morning and late at night. The cleanliness of the entire ship was outstanding. The food was plentiful and extremely tasty. I honestly cannot recommend the Katarina crew and boat enough. A fantastic week with wonderful memories.
- Leonie, 03/09/2025 13:17, Travelled with Friend/s
The experience from the day we arrived at the wharf in Dubrovnik to the time we departed in Split was truly unforgettable. The crew from Ivan the captain down to Ivana and Andela who looked after everyone were extremely professional, polite and helpful. Nicko the cruise guide was simply the best you could hope for. He was informative, friendly and went out of his way to make sure things ran smoothly for everyone. I would recommend Sail Croatia and the Katarina to anyone

We had the most amazing time cruising the Adriatic on the Romantic Star. Our cruise manager Klara was fantastic, which added the to wonderful experience we had. She informed us every step of the way and was always available to our needs and requests. She really is a huge asset to the Sail Croatia team. The crew were all wonderful too and we experienced some delicious meals. We made some wonderful memories which we will treasure for many years. Thank-you Sail Croatia

We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik on the Olimp. A group of friends celebrating significant birthdays. George and his crew made our sail so seamless., They keep the boat absolutely immaculate and Nikolina managed to keep our cabins neat and tidy with regular linen changes. Nothing was too much trouble. Amina and big H were so gracious when we’d come back on the boat for ‘one more drink!’ A big shout out to Ivana, who’’s briefings were so informative, her restaurant suggestions always on point and her manner gentle and warm. For us, Sail Croatia was a travel highlight and a big hit! We love Croatia Helen and John

This cruise was simply unforgettable! The Olimp is a beautiful boat, and the crew were all fantastic. I loved the daily swim stops and the more relaxed schedule. Our tour guide, Ivana, was very friendly and informative about all the ports we were visiting. The food onboard was very delicious. I would highly recommend a cruise with Sail Crotia!
- Elaine, 26/08/2025 14:48, Travelled with Family
With a caring responsive crew and a fun loving spirited small group of cruisers we had a great introductory experience to small yacht cruising. Energy and commitment of the crew - Ivana and Andrea anticipating our every need, Ivan ensuring our safety, Nikos managing the details and always expertly guiding us along the way and the chef Zelko and Karlo cooking us delicious Croatian food, Petra taking care of our cabins when we’re eating so never to bother us. And the crew Anton Goran and Dalo constantly cleaning and keeping the yacht in tip top shape. Destinations were perfect small towns that allowed strolling shopping historic tours swimming ir simply cafes to enjoy your afternoon.

We sailed with the beautiful super yacht Katarina for a week from Split to Dubrovnik. From the first moment our cruise manager Nicos was helpful and knowledgeable, he constantly kept the guests up to speed with daily information regarding each stop and excursions. The Captain and Crew were excellent and professional. Our daily swim stops were idyllic and locations were stunning. The excursions were both cultural and fun. We enjoyed every moment of our cruise and would highly recommend Sail Croatia,

We had a fabulous week onboard the beautiful ship Katarina. The Captain and crew were friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble for them. Our Sail Croatia liaison Nikos was great fun, knowledgeable and was able to provide a great introduction to each Port as we stopped. The swimming spots chosen by Captain Ivan were in great protected spots. Could not be more positive to recommend Sail Croatia and Katarina.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Elegance cruise with Sail Croatia. We travelled on the Katerina and the ships comfort and amenities surpassed our expectations The itinerary was a great mix of relaxation, socialising and exploring the wonderful islands of Croatia.

A special thank you to Lucija, our guide, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and detail-oriented at all times.

We sailed from Dubrovnik to Split with Sail Croatia on the Katarina in July 2025. Our tour Director Ioana, Captain Ivan and all the sail Croatia crew were fantastic.

What can I say - this trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The seamless, friendly, personable, professional staff were charming and couldn't do enough for us. Special shout out to Iona our tour guide who was truly wonderful and extremely funny - we all grew very fond of her. Particularly like that the Yacht is owned by a family and run as a family business which I feel really shines through in the feel and atmosphere of the boat. The boat is beautiful - really classy and luxurious without being pretentious. We met a wonderful group of people and we built friendships and bonds that were very special and really added to our experience. Croatia is stunning and being able to have a snap shot of various different islands was wonderful. The Croatian people are so proud and patriotic it's lovely to see. We didn't want to leave and will defo be back - our favourite holiday so far. Thank you for having us x
