Trip on Jolene

The trip was awesome from the start in Dubrovnic to the end at Split. Our Skipper Nikola planned the stops with our input and his sugestions enhanced the trip. Restaurants he booked for us served Croation cuisine and were excellent value. Our hostess, Ivana, catered perfectly. serving typical Croation breakfasts and lunches. I speak for the 12 of us onboard, that this is a memory to cherish. We will be back.

Would 100% recommend this experience to my friends

We loved our time on the navigator cruise, it might be our favourite part of our trip so far! We made life long friends and memories. Our host Johnny ( Ivca?) was amazing at keeping us informed and ensuring we were having a good time.

Great experience with exceptional crew

Couldn't recommend the sail enough! Francesa was an absolute legend and she made the trip so memorable - best week ever!

Best sail ever

Fran, Mateo and the crew were all so amazing, Couldn’t have had a better experience on the boat, loved every minute of our trip and would recommend absolutely everybody to do sail Croatia!!!

Fabulous Crew.

The Crew on Eos were professional & fulfilled their roles with friendliness & care. In addition the cycling crew had safety in mind all the time whilst also recognising & catering for different abilities. Jošco was very knowledgeable & informative with local history, nature & the geography of the islands which made our holiday so much more interesting.during the daily cycles. We appreciated the stops for coffee & a swim during the rides. Lovre dealt with a life threatening medical emergency with maturity & calmness whilst also resolving a random conflict with a stranger. Jošco dealt with the logistics of the medical incident with professionalism & care to those involved. Two outstanding employees. I was surprised the cycling crew were not given the cycling ability information we had all submitted - this would have helped them have knowledge prior to our arrival.

BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE

I don’t know if I’ll ever have the words to describe how incredible my experience on sail Croatia was, but I’ll start by crediting the amazing staff on board the Novi Dan. Vlado, Toni, Lovre, Marko and Adriano all went above and beyond every single day to ensure our ship was clean, our food was delicious and that we were all happy. The trip wouldn’t have been the same either without Elena, who has become a life long friend to all of us and someone the evidentially pours her heart and soul into her role. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and someone I could approach if I needed help. I feel so grateful to have made friendships on this trip that I will carry with me through the rest of my life, truly such an unforgettable experience!!

Novi Dan

I would like to commend the amazing crew aboard the Novi Dan! To Captain Vlado for sailing us safely through the Adriatic Sea, Toni for ensuring the boat was clean and taking us out for water sports, Lovre for the amazing food throughout the trip, Marko and Adriano for their great service ensuring we always had what we wanted! And to Elena for making sure we got the best out of everything! She was really good helping us get to where we needed to go, recommendations in town and good company! They were an extraordinary team who worked tirelessly day and night to ensure our time on Sail Croatia was an unforgettable experience!

Great way to see Croatia!

We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.

The kind of holiday that dreams are made of.

Perfect weather! Beautiful boat with excellent staff, nothing was too much trouble.. Excellent food, various diets catered for, and a good range of drinks! But best of all was where we were … from Dubrovnik to Split we anchored in islands of such beauty and grace, so much history and interest and terrific cycle riding with excellent guides - I honestly didn’t want to leave.. Without a doubt I will be returning, with Sail Croatia!!!

Wonderful Croatia Experience!

Our second trip to Croatia was very special for several reasons. The cruise itinerary was varied and excellent overall. Anita was a superb tour manager, always making an extra effort to make everyone happy. She communicates very well, is highly organized, works extraordinarily hard, and always has a smile on her face. The Romantic Star ship is well designed, very comfortable, and the food is healthy and tasty, We were also fortunate that the other passengers were friendly and interesting. I would definitely recommend this cruise to my friends. I do feel that more time should be spent on land. We often landed mid to late afternoon. I feel that the educational component should be enhanced (eg more discussion of Croatian history). I also feel that the ship should overnight in Komiza instead of Vis. But overall the experience was wonderful. Thank you!

- Jonathan, 13/06/2025 15:48, Travelled in a Couple

Exceeded every expectation!

Although the destinations were amazing and beautiful, it’s really comes down to the staff and crew that made this trip so enjoyable and memorable! Our cruise director, Vedran, was exceptional, always on point with essential information and an endearing personality that put everyone at ease. The yacht crew were professional but also very friendly to all of the guests. The itinerary from Dubrovnik to Split provided an excellent opportunity to spend some extra time in both cities pre/post cruise. Thanks for the great experience. I have already referred Sail Croatia to two other families planning journeys to Croatia!

Great time!!

Great crew, great people and boat. Our rep was awesome Tim! Couldn’t ask for a better time

An amazing Sail, with great crew and Tour guide

The crew on the boat were all so great. Food was very good, and the service from all was fantastic. Our tour guide Tim was also amazing and really made our whole week on Sail Croatia so easy with the constant information and just in general a great guy! Thank you for such a great week!

- Tom, 13/06/2025 14:20, Travelled with Friend/s

Trip of a lifetime!

This was a 5 star holiday from start to finish. We had the perfect balance of exercise and free time to relax. The boat and cabins were spacious and comfortable. Lucy & Harris served us the most delicious breakfast & 3 course lunches every day. Our lead guide Josko was amazing! He gave us a daily briefing on the route and was highly organised. I felt so safe while biking on the roads, nothing was left to chance. Josko had so much local knowledge and gave us a taste of Croatian history. We learned about this beautiful country while cycling through some of the most panoramic views I've ever seen. One thing I will say was that any request my group had was accomadated immediately. I fell in love with Croatia and it's people. We are already planning our next trip. I highly recommend Sail Croatia, just do it!!! Nessa Darcy

A great balance of excercise and relaxation

I enjoyed the daily activity and tha ability to immerse yourself in the Croatian culture. The people are very friendly and accommodating.

Unforgettable Experience

I cannot fault this trip! Elena the tour manager was amazing- she was organised, enthusiastic and so personable. She went above and beyond for everything, gave great recommendations and was just a beautiful human being. The Novi Dan crew was also amazing- thank you Captain Vlado for taking us to unreal swimming spots and thanks to Chef Lovre and the rest of the crew (Toni, Marko and Adriano) for the delicious food, service and hilarious conversations. I would highly recommend the canyoning excursion if you have a chance and don’t mind a workout- it was a once in a lifetime experience. Overall, I had an unforgettable week, with beautiful people in beautiful places. Only complaint is that I’m so sad that it’s ended- thanks so much Sail Croatia ❤️❤️

The best week of my life

We had a great experience on the Split - Dubrovnik sail. Our sail rep Tim was amazing, very welcoming and well organised. He was able to give us all the information about the places we visited and the recommendations for many different things, and advocate for us when needed. The whole crew was amazing, from food and drinks to general friendliness, we are definitely going to miss them all. We had a great group of people on board and Tim was able to keep all 24 of us in line, would definitely do this trip again.

Marija magdalena

A diverse group was bought together by our Reps ability to cater for everyone and ensure we were all involved early on to build connections that continued throughout the trip. Tim’s planning and recommendations were a huge success when leaving the boat. He was able to organise a group of drunk individuals to make it to venues partnered with sail Croatia for ripper drink/entry deals

Timmy was an absolute unit

Timmy was the highlight of the whole trip. Sail Croatia would be missing out if you guys lose him.

We had the most amazing time. The crew was great, Johnny, our trip manager, was awesome and made it an unforgettable trip we will never forget!

Amazing vacation!

The guides Lucia and Ivan were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, patient and eager to make this experience unforgettable! The food was delicious and there was plenty for everyone. The bike rides were fun and the scenery was breathtaking. I love the fact that we could swim every day at different spots! Excursion and organized dinners were great to do also! Rooms were comfortable, We had our own bathroom. The staff, especially Andre the Barman, and Randy the sailor were super friendly, helpful and fun! Look no further, book this cruise, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic Cruise

The modern vessel the Olimp was sailed and managed by the fantastic crew and Captain to perfection. The meals and service where 5 Star ⭐️ Our cruise Director was informative and entertaining With every briefing , and answered all our repetitive questions with humour. Overall this cruise more than exceeded our expectations Friendliness of the crew , the daily swim stop and the Islands we visited . Looking forward to booking our next Return Cruise with Sail Croatia. Ken & Jan

Brilliant group cycling&sailing holiday!

We were a large group of 8 couples- our ship Eos was a perfect size to cater for us and other guests. Very comfortable cabins and large social spaces. The food was very good and the staff very attentive. We booked the cycling trip - the bikes were a good quality and we loved exploring the various islands on our bikes each day - all very well led by our excellent tour manager Joške. Highly recommend!

- Genevieve , 13/06/2025 07:34, Travelled with Friend/s

Fabulous week

Spent a week on the ship Eos on the cycling cruise. What a fabulous week we had. The scenery on the rides was spectacular. The planning of the daily itinerary was perfect, taking into account several factors such as the heat and safety at all times. Both guides (J and Louvre) were so experienced and knowledgeable. I had an insect sting which led to anaphylaxis and Louvre who is only quite young, acted quickly and calmly, ringing for an ambulance and dealing with the situation admirably. The food on board is excellent and the whole team from chefs to waiters were first class. The e-bikes are the top of the range so don't be nervous about coping with the hills. Once you get the hang of them it's a breeze. Just book it, you won't be sorry.

Croatian islands are gorgeous

My husband andI traveled with another couple. We had a wonderful week. It was our first cruise and I was apprehensive. For me, the small number of people was essential. We were lucky that the other travelers were all kind and fun. And our leader, Anita, was terrific. Always eager to help, fun to talk with and very knowledgaable about so many aspects of being in Croatia.

- Mary, 13/06/2025 03:31, Travelled with Friend/s

A Wonderful Experience

The entire Mali Anti crew and guides were wonderful. The boat was clean, comfortable, with plenty of room. The sailing itinerary and cycling were extremely well planned out. The food was excellent and more than what could have been expected. Other guests were quite friendly and fun to be with. We were fortunate to have really good weather for sailing, cycling, and wandering at every stop. Everyone on the crew seemed to go above and beyond to make our experience great. This included the captain (Ivica), the sailors (Ivan and Ilija), the waiter (Mario - he was exceptional), the chef (Ivica - who was truly wonderful) and helper (Antonio). The two guides Miranda and Ana were outstanding throughout our entire trip. (Suggestions - the rooms could have a few more hooks to hang things on and the mirrors in the bathrooms need to be lowered about 6 inches)

Go with Sail Croatia Cycle trip

This cycling cruise was the BEST ever. I loved the quaintness of the smaller cruiseship & the crew was wonderful. Our cycle guides Luciya & Ivan P were personable, knowledgeable about Croatia & its history, super fun and safety was always a priority. Our passenger group really bonded from the beginning & I now have new friends around the world I can go visit & keep in touch with. Go For It & take a Sail Croatia Cruise

Best week everrrrr

Had the best week ever on Penelopa, made friends for life and life long memories! Ceili was great and the crew were so accommodating and went above and beyond every day, especially Alex, Charlie, and Ivan! Couldn’t recommend this week more!!!

- Nicola, 12/06/2025 18:04, Travelled Solo

It was excellent

The staff on the ship were so great and patient with a group of "old" ladies. The food was fabulous! Because I wake up so early, the chef always offered to get me some tea even if it was 2 hours before the kitchen opening. Our guides, Miranda and Anna were exceptional. On the 2nd day, I realized I wasn't going to be able to climb the hills and Miranda offered to give me her ebike. That isn't something that happens very often.

Great time!

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!!!!!

Best Ever / Croatia 2025

We went with 3 other couples for one week tri[p around the islands. Tony and Mateo were the best crew ever and are our new friends :-) The trip and suggestions Tony the Captain made were perfect and he was so polite and interactive with us all. Mateo is a great Chef and did all the shopping also, but so much more. They worked so well as "a team" Hope to see them again soon. Bob and Taryn

Best Vacation ever!

This was hands down the best vacation ever! We met so many great people, the crew was awesome and Croatia is beautiful. If you have the opportunity to do a Sail Croatia cruise don't pass it up. There were so many things we still want to see & do....we will be back!

Big Blue is the best

The crew on the Big Blue was particularly great, with attention to detail when it came to both cleaning and serving. The meals were delicious and they were always kind and accommodating if you were a little late on meal times. The boat was always spotless and felt very safe and clean. They were fun to interact with and made sure we had a fun time always. Thanks guys!

Trip of a Lifetime!

My family and I had an incredible week on our private sailing tour from Split to Dubrovnik. The communication was excellent every step of the way and we would hands down do it again! We feel extra lucky to have been paired with our skipper, Linda. She worked with us to create an ideal itinerary based on our goals for the trip and she had excellent recommendations every stop of the way. We loved exploring the beautiful islands of Croatia this way. Would highly recommend this unique experience for your next vacation!

Trip of a Lifetime

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.

BEST WEEK EVER!!

Had the best week ever, sailing Croatia. Stopped at beautiful locations, met lifelong friends and made everlasting memories!! Ceili was the best rep throughout the week making the experience even better. The crew were wonderful & super accomodating. I will most definitely be recommending Sail Croatia to everyone I know!!

Bicycle travel in style

Sail Croatia made our week of cycling and sailing the Croatian islands amazing. The staff were great and our fellow travellers were all very easy to travel with fun to get to know . They were organized and the food was terrific. I was worried I wasn’t fit enough but I did well on the bikes.

Navigator tuna boat

Week was amazing, one of the greatest weeks I have had on my trip so far. Marin was amazing and it felt so relaxing as he had organised everything for us and always gave the best recommendations for everything and was very professional. The crew were perfect couldn’t fault a thing about them, they would bend over backwards for any of us if we needed. I would only do another sail Croatia week if Marin is my rep and I am on the tuna boat with the same crew

A Magical Adventure

My entire family loved cruising from one beautiful Croatian island to the next and touring around each stop on e-bikes. We got to see much more of each island than if we had hiked or just stayed overnight in each port town/city. The crew & guides are lovely people: professional, friendly & kind. Matilda & Sardan are also skilled bike riders who were patient & accommodated all the varied skill levels. They were knowledgable about each stop, offering wonderful suggestions for dining & site-seeing while on our own to explore. We met wonderful new friends and enjoyed traveling with every single person on our boat. This trip was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish - I can't recommend it enough! My family and I are still stunned at the many incredible views we biked to and the fun of having an active vacation and meeting great people while enjoying wonderful food and wine and exploring so much of beautiful Croatia. We are SO glad we went on this unforgettable adventure!

Another magic trip

The staff, crew, tour leaders and guests on this boat were a fantastic bunch. Loved every minute. Had an issue with my room. Not what I was expecting for the price and supplement but that wasn’t going to spoil my trip. Boat was great, bar area very social. George n Danilo were great and George’s food was very good. Danny on the bar was the best barman very efficient and fun. Ivancic and Mario were a superb team, we have cycled with Ivancic before. He will never let you down he’s a very focussed customer driven guide. Very trustworthy. We’d like to return but we have visited most of the islands on your itinerary’s… any chance you could mix it up abit? Thanks again. Great holiday x

Amazing

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!

Tuna Split to Split cruise

Marin was an incredible guide. He had a lot of local knowledge. He showed a lot of care towards everyone in the group. He became our friend. The rest of the crew were also fantastic. The food was great. The activities were fun and well organised. I was also lucky to do it with an amazing group of other guests onboard. Would recommend this to anyone!

Great week away with family, friends and best crew ever

We were on a fantastic brand new boat - there were lots of teething issues on her maiden voyage and Nicola, our captain, was super amazing at doing work arounds to make sure our trip was awesome - throw in Ivana , our degreed maritime expert in sailing, cooking and just generally making all our lives so easy and you have a great holiday. I found Nicola engaging when he needed to be and otherwise left us to do our own thing. He made recommendations of places to sail and eat and they were perfect and enjoyed by all. And a first class captain to boot. But please fix the niggles on Jolene - she is a beautiful catamaran but has teething issues

Wow

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.

Croatia Cruise-Cycle

Brilliant trip in Croatia with Cruise and great cycling on the island hills and coast and awesome swim stops in crystal clear waters. The guides Ivan and Lucija were top rate with great cycling guidance and history and information on where we were. and we’re really friendly. The food was so tasty from chef Ivana (top class), and Andre was always on form and looking after us with our post ride refreshments. Christiana kept the boat management smooth and friendly, and Captain, and Sailors Randy and Ivan were super helpful. Thanks all for one of our great trips, and to all our new pals we shared it with.
