As a travel professional, I can confidently say Sail Croatia delivered an outstanding experience. From the stunning coastline to the seamless itinerary, every detail was thoughtfully planned. What truly made our trip exceptional, though, was our amazing crew. Skipper Ante kept us safe with his expert handling of the boat and entertained us with his local knowledge and good humor. Hostess Fanny made us feel completely at home and her cooking was nothing short of phenomenal—every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The boat “Sizzle” was comfortable, clean, and the perfect base for exploring hidden coves, charming towns, and crystal-clear waters. The care taken by the crew made this an unforgettable week on the water. Sail Croatia sets the bar high—I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable way to experience the Adriatic.

Hands down best way to experience the diverse islands of Croatia! With overnight stops at islands in between in Dubrovnik + Split, you can really see it all. The guides do a great job suggesting local excursions + places to eat. Plus the daily swim stops are awesome! I recommend the Explorer cruise if you are looking for a good balance of fun + sightseeing without too much party :)

Great way to see the country! Experience different towns and landscapes with others from around the world. Your guide helps in bringing you to unique spots that you would otherwise not know to check out. One of the best trips my partner and I have ever been on!

Our cruise was made exceptional by the itinerary organised by the tour manager Ivana Mateja, captain and the crew on board Romantic Star. The locations and excursions we visited at each stop on our way from Split to Dubrovnik were well organised and each wine tasting event was amazing! Every member of the crew was friendly and welcoming and made us feel that we were on an exclusive and unique holiday. The food was delicious and high quality, and beautifully presented. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious.

What an incredible week exploring an incredible country. We visited some amazing parts of Croatia - such a beautiful coast! The week on the boat was extremely fun - I’ve met some awesome people and have done some fantastic activities (the zip lining and bungee jumping were life changing!!!). The crew on the Afrodita were so lovely and kind - huge shoutout to Andrej for keeping the drinks flowing and the food coming. Our tour leader Noura was so lovely and there was no request or question that she couldn’t answer - any group would be lucky to have her. Thank you!

The ship was amazing, the port stops were excellent, our cruise-mates were fantastic, but most of all, our tour director, Ioana, was the best. She was proactive about every aspect of our trip and made sure we made the best use of our time on the boat and off it. I can’t say enough good things about this cruise. It was the best one we’ve ever taken and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a way to visit the islands and coastline of Croatia.
- John, 15/07/2025 08:59,
We loved Croatia. Esperanza and its crew were very good. The difficult issue for us was the tipping. It was quite an expensive holiday in the first place and the tour manager suggested tipping around 10%. Made us feel awkward.
- David, 15/07/2025 06:50, Travelled in a Couple
I had an emergency before the start of the sail which ended up preventing me from starting the cruise on time and my sail guide Nour was fantastic, she made it so easy for me to stay in the loop so I could plan how to catch up with the boat. She was also equally lovely in person and my friends and I all had a wonderful time chatting with her and the crew and getting to know everyone. Halim and Tonci were part of our ship’s crew and they were awesome as well. The whole crew were some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of travelling with.

Awesome trip, loved every bit, except for: - the group dinners, not great venues / value / locations - drink prices on the boats, including at happy hour. €7 for a beer even at happy hour, when they’re less than €2 off the boat

Cannot say enough about this bike/cruise we took with Sail Croatia. Perfect weather, excellent staff & crew on our ship (the COLUMBO), small sized passenger group (twenty four in all, making for relaxed, easy mingling, creative and delicious use of food on board, and just wonderful stops all along the Southern Route, SPLIT to DUBROVNIK. I wish we'd had more time to double back and do the Northern route as well, as some of our fellow passengers had done. Perhaps we'll get back soon! Truly, the trip of a Lifetime.

- Andrew, 14/07/2025 17:31, Travelled in a Couple
Everything from pre-cruise planning with the Sail Croatia staff, to our Sail Croatia representative Vicko, to the staff and crew on Romantic Star was exceptional. Our cruise had shipmates from all over the world and everyone got along fantastically and had a wonderful time. I can honestly say that everything about this cruise was terrific and I will recommend Sail Croatia to anyone interested in visiting Croatia!
- Robert, 14/07/2025 16:34, Travelled with Friend/s
Amazing, we travelled with our teenage daughters, we loved this cruise everyone on board so friendly. Dino our guide was amazing, always on top of everything and giving great advice!

We had high expectations coming into our Sail Croatia cruise on the Salve Di Mare, and those expectations were greatly exceeded by the experience and the crew. The Dalmatian Coastline is stunning, definitely more stunning than the pictures yo see. The crew was very attentive and helpful. The crew made sure we had the best time possible. Our guide, Dino, was great helping setup experiences for all of us on the boat. We made new friends that we will stay connected with in the future. If you're thinking about taking a cruise with Sail Croatia, and specifically on the Salve Di Mare, I could not give them a higher recommendation!
- Brian, 14/07/2025 10:42, Travelled with Friend/s
Took a trip with Sail Croatia to meet people before Ultra music festival and had a blast! I expected grungy accomodations and bad food, but was wrong on both accounts 😁

We booked the Explorer cruise on board Tempera from Split to Dubrovnik and I can tell you we ended up very happy with our choice. Firstly, the ship Tempera made us feel right at home. Our cabin was cozy, decent size with everything you might need. The highlight there was definitely the window with amazing views to wake up to every morning.. Take the above deck cabin just for that. The food was great! Breakfast just diverse enough to get you ready for the day ahead (try the watermelon) and 3course lunch which was always delicious. The itinerary was breathtaking; either while on the way, the swim stops or the ports of call. Writing this 3 days later I still can't decide which destination was my favorite. All of the excursions were fun and different from each other so not one day felt the same. After excursions we still had enough time to explore (or party) which was awesome! Big thanks to all of the crew without which this trip wouldn't be as memorable and so hard to match in the future!

Our Sail Croatia Explorer cruise on the Tempera exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food was top-notch! The entire crew was great...always very attentive to anything we needed. Cal, our amazing tour leader, made the week truly memorable. From restaurant/attraction suggestions at each stop, to interesting historical info about all of the islands, and of course, his great taste in music (that playlist!), he was the perfect guide for our incredible week on-board! Thanks Cal! Highlights of our trip included the daily swim stops, exploring all the islands, and the wonderful new friends we met on the boat.

Johnny the host was exceptional, had great recommendations and truly wanted the best from everyone in the group. Give that man a raise!! Captain, chef and bartender were also all lovely and engaged the group well.
- Ben, 11/07/2025 11:18, Travelled with Family
Writing this review purely because of Johnny. Elite host who clearly has everyone’s best interests at heart. Really appreciated his honesty regarding which activities were the best value if you’re on a tighter budget and big fan of him organising multiple dinners for the group to build a bigger bond between us all. 10/10 for the man
- Reilly, 11/07/2025 10:46, Travelled Solo
Myself and my partner Brittany thoroughly enjoyed our recent Sail on Eden. The crew were phenomenal, always friendly, and very helpful. The captain took us to so many great swim spots that were truly amazing, and always put the safety of everybody as his number 1 priority. The food onboard cooked by the chef was amazing, and much better than what we had anticipated. The sailors were all very friendly and took there time to get to know us onboard and participate in conversations and make us feel very welcome. Lastly, the bartender put the cherry on top. Matej, I’m not quite sure on spelling, was exceptional in his service. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anybody better. He worked so hard to ensure everybody was happy, and honestly made our experience on sail Croatia what is was. The crew on board were a sailor down, and they way the worked so hard for each other and make it feel like nothing was out of place was great. Thankyou. Vinn out your guide was also great.

Marin and the crew were amazing couldn’t have asked for a better team to take us through the week. Marin was very knowledgeable about where we went and knew all the great spots and was constantly checking in on us making sure we were having a good time and if there was anything else he could do. It was such a positive experience having him onboard and couldn’t of imagined the week with a different trip manager!

Our sailing trip with Sail Croatia was amazing! Our skipper, Bruno took us to stunning turquoise bays for swimming and snorkeling and to picturesque ports in red -roofed medieval towns. Bruno knew all the best, most charming restaurants where we enjoyed delicious fresh fish and tasty local wine.. Bruno is an excellent sailor, and guide and we all absolutely adored spending the week with him! Everyone affiliated with Sail Croatia was friendly, helpful and punctual. We really appreciated the excellent customer service including help with our luggage and rides when we arrived and departed. We highly recommend Sail Croatia and if you get Bruno for your skipper, you’ll have a great time!

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. The Alley Cat was luxurious and had everything we needed. It was meticulously clean. Meslav was so conscientious. When our daughter left her backpack at a hotel, he made multiple calls and arranged to have it ferried over for her. Dijana was likewise amazing, cooking us breakfast and lunch. I can’t say enough about these two, who made our trip perfect. Our family of eight had an amazing time that we will never forget.

My wife and I experienced our first trip to Croatia aboard the Mali Ante on the Split Southern Return voyage along with 30 of our friends. The ship's crew were amazong. Ivan, Mario, Ilea, and Captain Ivica. were all so friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. (If you like a good cocktail, be sure to order the Mario Special.) Chef Ivica and sous chef Antonio prepared delicious food, including traditional Croatian cuisine for the Captain's dinner, hearty lunches for post-cycling recovery, and breakfasts that fueled us up for our rides. Speaking of the rides, I can't say enough good things about our guides, Tonka and Sanja. Every morning they would give us a detailed briefing about the day's journey; the length, difficulty, water stops, road conditions, etc. Tonka's humor put even the inexperienced cyclists at ease, and Sanja was so informative with her stories about the islands and the towns we rode through. We are already planning a return to beautiful Croatia. Puno hvala!
