We had an absolutely fabulous time with Sail Croatia! Dino and all of the crew were attentive, informative and friendly. We loved the Tempera and would recommend this trip to anyone!

we were on the Salve de Mare and it was a beautiful and spacious boat with excellent food and crew.
- Nikki, 16/06/2025 12:11, Travelled in a Couple
Evanna, our tour guide, and fellow travellers made this tour great. The crew were also helpful and fed us well. Evanna’s knowledge of Croatia and its stunning Islands was excellent. She took time to get to know all travellers and showed genuine concern when I had a fall in Vela Luka. Thanks Evanna!

I would highly recommend seeing Croatia sailing with Sail Croatia. From the fantastic service, delicious food, friendly/helpful/knowledgeable staff (Lola, Iris, & all the others)& Captian of the Almissa- Josef. Don't think twice... just do it!

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 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!
- Matt, 16/06/2025 06:12, Travelled in a Couple
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
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!

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!

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.
- Rebecca, 15/06/2025 02:10, Travelled with Family
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.
- Zachary, 15/06/2025 00:50, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Croatia crew were fantastic and great hospitality. We loved the swim stops and all the islands. Beds were comfortable and food was good. Would highly recommend. Our boat leader Vicko was the BEST!!!!!

My Fiance and I are 26 and 31. We booked the Explorer cruise on the Salve Di Mare from Split to Dubrovnik. We truly believe we picked the best cruise option and the nicest boat. Check-in was easy, our Sail Croatia guide Vicko was simply amazing from start to finish. The food, too, was exceptionally good - some of the best food we had on our whole trip. The entire staff was friendly and pleasant to be around. We had a change of route due to a failed refueling, and the crew adapted our route nicely to still have us spend the day at a lovely island. In summary, we had the time of our lives and can't imagine visiting Croatia any other way. 10./10.
- Daniel , 11/06/2025 23:59, Travelled in a Couple
This trip was the perfect blend of seeing all the sights, adventures and relaxing. Daily swim stops, a crew that was incredible on the Salve Di Mare and Vicko from Sail Croatia providing a historical overview before sharing all the exciting excursions available. It was my first trip to Europe and will not be my last with Sail Croatia!
- Julie , 11/06/2025 15:48,
This was our first time visiting Croatia and first time on a small ship cruise. Both exceeded our expectations and we are already planning for a return trip. The Explorer cruise was a perfect, stress free way to explore the stunning islands of Croatia. Our tour guide, Vicko, was great. Always a smile on his face and incredibly knowledgeable of all things “Croatian”. He was always available and assisted us with extras like cabs and dinner reservations . We loved his daily destination talks and his take on which excursions would give our group the best experiences. We traveled with another couple and our Explorer cruise was a great combination of travelers from many countries whom we were able to get to know over the course of the week. I also want to give a shout out to the Salve di Mare crew who ensured we had a fabulous experience each and every day.
- Kim, 11/06/2025 14:45, Travelled with Friend/s
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.
- Randy, 10/06/2025 18:44, Travelled with Family
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
- Catharina, 10/06/2025 08:34, Travelled in a Couple
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
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
Ivana was a great tour leader, informative and friendly. The crew were reliable and helpful and food was good Our fellow passengers were an enthusiastic group of varied ages who all shared enthusiasm for the excursions and swimming.This all made for a fun,happy trip. Thankyou Ivana, you were amazing..
- Anne and Rod, 09/06/2025 09:20, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Colin Wilson, 09/06/2025 07:58, Travelled in a Couple
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!!!
- Maren, 09/06/2025 07:52, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Andrew, 09/06/2025 07:04, Travelled in a Couple
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
- Todd, 09/06/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple
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.🇭🇷❣️
- Janet , 09/06/2025 06:31, Travelled in a Couple
The vessel, the crew and tour leader met all expectations.
- Anthony, 09/06/2025 01:16, Travelled in a Couple
It was my first time visiting Croatia and first time on this type of cruise. Both were incredible - the small Explorer cruise was a great way to explore the islands of Croatia. The sea and landscape in Croatia are stunning. Our tour guide, Vicko, was knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated how honest he was about which excursions would give us the best experience, he never pushed us to book something unless he really thought we would enjoy it. (And all of his recommendations were spot on.) We traveled as a family with a broad age range, and the Explorer cruise was fun for everyone. If you can, I'd recommend spending a few days before or after the cruise visiting the cities, since we spent almost all of the time on the islands.
- Juliana, 08/06/2025 13:44, Travelled with Family
We did so much research on the company, vessel and cruise as we had never done one of these before and honestly we had the trip of a lifetime. Salve di Mare was such a great boat and the explorer cruise had a really great mix of people and good split of relaxing/activities. Honestly what made our trip the most special were the other people we met on the cruise and the incredible staff (shout out to Vicko)
- Laura, 06/06/2025 05:50, Travelled in a Couple
We just returned from the most incredible week sailing the Croatian islands with Sail Croatia, and I can't recommend it enough! Every stop was breathtaking, and waking up on the water every morning felt like a dream! The yacht was spotless and comfortable, and you could tell everything was run with care and professionalism. What truly made this trip exceptional, though, was the crew. Our captain was skilled and steady at sea and the crew worked around the clock to make sure we were safe, well-fed, and always smiling. Their positive energy was contagious and made our entire experience. A massive thank you to our Sail Croatia rep, Vicko—he was the heartbeat of the trip. Always checking in, organizing fun outings, and bringing good vibes wherever he went. Vicko went above and beyond to make sure every single person had a great time, and we’re all better for having met him. Between the scenery, the people, and the vibe—this was the trip of a lifetime!

We just wrapped up the most incredible week sailing with Sail Croatia, and we truly had the time of our lives. From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew and fellow guests made the experience feel so special. Each day brought a new island to explore, and every destination was more breathtaking than the last. A huge thank you to Vicko, our Sail Croatia representative, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His friendliness and attention to detail truly enhanced the entire trip. We also want to give a big shoutout to the Chef Arijan—every meal was absolutely delicious! The food was a highlight in itself, and we were so well fed the entire week. It was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and great company. Can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough—we’re already dreaming about the next trip!
- Camille , 05/06/2025 19:34, Travelled with Friend/s
The cruise was incredible. I felt at home the second I got on the boat. The staff was so friendly and everyone on our boat was as well. The boat was incredibly clean and luxurious. I loved how we had time in the morning to relax and then the afternoon to do excursions and explore. It was the perfect balance. Our guide Vicko was amazing! He had so much information to share and was always honest with his recommendations about what he thought were the best things to do at each stop. We all got along so well and I feel we made lifelong friends! I would 100% do another Sail Croatia tour again!
- Anonymous, 05/06/2025 19:27, Travelled with Family
We chose Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise on the Salve De Mare as our summer family vacation with our 20 and 24 year old children. It was the perfect mixture of relaxation, sight seeing, adventure, and exploring. Our travel rep, Vicko, was awesome. He was always leading the way with great advice and direction. The crew of the Salve de Mare went above and beyond to accommodate and ensure everyone had a good time. The food and drinks on board were diverse and delicious. This was an intimate cruise with only 33 passengers and 9 crew. We truly came as strangers and left as friends. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and Salve de Mare. Thanks for an awesome vacation!
- Debbie, 05/06/2025 19:19, Travelled with Family
Had amazing trip on the Salve di Mare from Dubrovnik to Split. The boat is beautiful, comfortable rooms, lovely dining lounge along with a fantastic top deck perfect for taking in the views. The crew was delightful and accommodating, making our week enjoyable. Our representative, Vicko, was exceptional—very knowledgeable, fun to be around, always ready with honest recommendations. Met some great people along the way, Croatians are very friendly and genuine people. Wouldn’t hesitate to do this trip again. I absolutely loved the experience!

Not only was the location of the cruise stunning but the experience was made so much better by the crew of Salve de Mare and our guide Vicko. Every day was laid out for us in advance with advice on the best excursions and places to visit. The crew of the ship was always attentive and the food was delicious. Vicko was personable, knowledgeable and truly cared about our experience. Overall, the entire trip from start to finish was annazing and made for one of if not the best trips of my life.
- Luke, 05/06/2025 14:57, Travelled with Family
I really enjoyed sailing from Split to Dubrovnik on the Almissa. It's a lovely boat, with really nice, clean rooms and a great top deck to enjoy the views from. The crew were lovely, friendly and made the week fun. Our rep Vicko was fab - there didn't seem to be a thing about Croatia and the islands we visited he didn't know. The food was the definite highlight - we had very generous portions of delicious food. I loved it.
- Cara, 05/06/2025 13:12, Travelled Solo
The fantastic crew and SC rep who was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and fun made our trip and stay amazing! Great food and service was provided daily and the SC rep made sure to keep us well informed and made sure we made the most out of our time in Croatia. We will definitely be back and Highly Recommend!!!

We have just returned from a fabulous week sailing the coastline of Croatia! The scenery was beautiful, the activities were thoughtful and well-planned, the crew were exceptional and the food was delicious. The Salve di mare is a gorgeous boat and is meticulously cared for by its crew. From the moment we met Vicko, we knew we were in good hands. He cared for the entire group like a family and we shared many laughs along the way! Thanks Vicko, you were a tremendous group leader and we loved your recommendations. I would highly recommend booking this trip. If you’re looking for a more personal experience, this small group cruise is for you! We boarded as strangers and left having gained many new friendships. Croatia is a beautiful country and we will be back! Thank you!
- Jill, 05/06/2025 11:29, Travelled with Friend/s
My husband and I had a fantastic time on our 7-day cruise! Absolutely would recommend. Vicko was our Sail Croatia Rep and he was THE BEST - super friendly with great recommendations for excursions, restaurants, and a ton of knowledge about Croatia. This truly felt like a vacation because we didn’t have to worry about anything. We were on the Salve di Mare boat and the crew on the boat was top notch. Marko, Vlaho, and Monika in particular were so personable and friendly. They made our stay on the boat comfortable and fun. Also worth noting that I always felt safe on the boat (even when we had windy conditions our captain, Frane, docked the boat with ease).
- Kyra , 04/06/2025 14:51, Travelled in a Couple
Vicko and the crew made it an incredible experience. Everything from beginning to end was top notch. Vicko, our guide, did an excellent job throughout the trip - he was a joy to be around and made sure everyone had a great time. The crew, especially Marko and Vlaho, were great. Every crew member was so friendly and helpful. My wife and I really enjoyed the trip - it was a fantastic holiday.
- Marc, 04/06/2025 14:48, Travelled in a Couple
Where do I start?? From the meticulously clean boat to the abundance of tasty healthy food to the awesome staff who couldn't do enough & went out of their way to help to our tour guide Nicos! And we haven't even mentioned the beautiful Croatian islands that we stopped at all bursting with centuries of history & hidden restaurants & wine bars. If it hadn't been for Nicos we would never have found some of these gorgeous places. A special mention goes out to crew member Max who apart from serving our meals & keeping us well hydrated, he so kept us entertained. I was not sure about going on a cruise with 30 total strangers but it was one of the best weeks & one I will not easily forget.

Everything about this trip was incredible. Croatia is a beautiful country and traveling on Sail Croatia gave us the opportunity to see so much of it, including small islands that wouldn't be easy to reach. Our tour manager, Anita, and the crew of the Almissa were all wonderful. Fellow passengers were easy to get along with and you could choose to spend as much or as little time as you wanted with others. Highly recommend!
- Lindy, 02/06/2025 13:52, Travelled in a Couple
It was a great holiday. The beauty of the country and islands, the culture of the people and most importantly our crew and boat were fantastic. Just a great fun filled and relaxing holiday.

We had a great experience from start to finish. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was tasty and plentiful with lots of variety, the excursions and swim stops were so fun! We had a great host, and the entire crew was friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
- Hope, 02/06/2025 06:15,
Anita was a delightful and informative guide for each of our stops. The staff (from bar and meals to cleanup and helping with bags) were always polite and attentive to us and to the ship, and the captain showed terrific care in all he did from greeting us to maneuvering the ship. Time in the sun and the chance to slow down and be cared for are great bonuses on this ship where the size was just right!
- Beth, 02/06/2025 05:57,
We had a wonderful trip to Croatia and thanks to Sail Croatia and the team. The boat accommodations were perfect for our needs and everything was clean and staff were friendly. The trip to multiple islands was fantastic and each island was different and had its own and unique charms. It was an amazing week and we had a great time and I would recommend it to all!
- Scott, 02/06/2025 00:48,
This was the trip of a lifetime! Sail Croatia was easy to work with, the crew on board was fantastic, friendly, helpful, informative. The food onboard was very good. Loved the pace, having downtime in the mornings, no rushing into the day! The swim stops were gorgeous even through the water was cold! Our “cruise director” Vicko was top-notch! He knew so much about Croatia and its history. There wasn’t a question he didn’t know the answer to and he was excellent at keeping us informed of the itinerary and any changes to it. He was quick to make adjustments as needed due to weather or other circumstances. Highly recommend a trip with Sail Croatia!
