Once in a lifetime experience

Had the most incredible week on Sail Croatia! Completely exhausting in the best way - days filled with swimming off the boat, exploring local towns, sunset drinks and then partying until sunrise. Our host was incredible and absolutely made the trip - such a wonderful human with such great energy and always there to help when we needed. Couldn't have imagined a better week if I tried! Would highly recommend.

I could not fault my time spent on Sail Croatia. From the beginning my coordinator was so welcoming and friendly, making sure I had everything I needed to have the best week ever. The crew were some of the most hard-working staff I have ever come across. The activities were clearly communicated but nothing was forced or pushed, just do what you are comfortable with. The food was AMAZING, oh my goodness compliments to the chef, it was my biggest concern before the trip but my expectations were so incredibly exceeded. Overall the rep and crew made for an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be recommending Sail Croatia to as many people as I know.

AMAZING WEEK

When booking Sail Croatia, we weren’t sure how it would go since it was a new kind of travel for us. With that in mind, we went into the trip open-minded but a little weary. The trip turned out to be an amazing experience, the other passengers on the boat were amazing, and the crew on the boat were fantastic, welcoming, fun and helped bring the whole experience to the next level. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone thinking about booking!
