Thrill of a lifetime!

This holiday exceeded all of our expectations! The boat accommodations, the guides and leaders, the food, and the itinerary. We had a wonderful travel experience! Thank you.

Spectacular

Exceeded my expectations. I loved that the boat wasn't too big. The bike guides were top notch. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The bike rides were amazing.with spectacular views and the excursions were awesome

Great exercise, great experience.

I had a great time on my Sail Croatia bicycle cruise. The rides were all very doable on the e-bikes for all levels of riders. You can make it challenging and taxing or let the bike do most of the work and enjoy the scenery. Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and brought everyone together. The food was good and plentiful, and the boat was comfortable and clean. The rides allow you to visit and experience parts of the islands that you would never see on a standard cruise. From historical sites to out of the way cafes every day brought something new. I’m going to recommend this trip to all my friends, most of whom are seniors, as a must do.

This holiday was wonderful. The crew were fabulous and our tour guides were amazing. There was a fun and friendly vibe amongst everyone from the get go. Avica and Diego were so knowledgeable about each of the islands and so made the rides easy for everybody as well as suggesting and organising great outings and meal options for the evenings on the islands. The whole week was so well organised and nothing was too much trouble for either the crew or tour managers. This holiday was a great balance between activity, relaxation and sightseeing.

Amazing trip

This was an amazing trip! Everyone on the crew was wonderful! Sasa was the best, He kept us updated on the details of each day and did everything to make us happy and comfortable. His knowledge and passion for his country showed as we toured the islands! Calum was great. He gave detailed descriptions of our bike rides and what to expect. They both made the trip extra fun.. when weather affected our rides, Calum and Sasa made sure we were notified and new plans made. The entire crew was attentive and friendly. We loved every minute of the trip and the enthusiasm from the crew made it extra special. Croatia is beautiful!!

Croatian cycle holiday

What an experience. We were looked after from the time we made our reservations till we disembarked. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to assist onboard. Safety was the captains priority as he always tried to avoid bad weather situations. Our tour guide Josko ensured fantastic rides with spectacular scenery. Oh, please go with the E-bike option.

Amazing week

It was amazing from start to finish! The entire crew was incredible, all our wants and needs were exceeded,! Food was great and all the biking was even better than we thought it would be! The only thing that was an issue was no hot water on our last day before departure!

An amazing bike and yacht trip with superb guides and boat mates… felt safe and cared for at every step of the way: food, drinks, service, fantastic bike rides with history provided along the way were all above and beyond expectations. Thank you so much for an incredible holiday!!

Amazing Croatian Islands and Coast!

A dsily cycling excursion is the best way to experience the beauty of Croatia. I would highly recommend this trip. The E-Bike makes all routes and overlooks accessible. The swim stops from the boat and the beach were also pristine.

Great time, the guides did a great job. They were friendly and knowledgeable. The crew was also excellent. On "complaint" is that the food on the boat could have been better. I would still recommend them.

- Sandra, 21/09/2026 17:48, Travelled with Family

Mostly excellent

As a previous customer of Sail Croatia I knew I would enjoy myself and the company of an international gathering. It was enjoyable and the few changes were welcome. E Bikes were better but they should had wider tyres. Guides were very professional. Food was mostly very good. However, I thought that I would upgrade the boat that I had selected but I think this boat was the poorest I have been on in all four previous holidays. Rooms were small, decorations were beginning to feel very dated. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was good. Lounge areas were only adequate but outside spaces were only a little more generous, All Sail Croatia staff were good as were boat’s complement. Excellent Captain. The last day before arriving in Dubrovnik was a poor cycling day and I think that you need to find a more demanding and interesting ride. It really was disappointing In summery, better boat for Premium, more appropriate bikes, final day rethink. Thanks for running the trip.

Split to Split Cycle Cruise

A fabulous experience - amazing staff, beautiful ship, great food enhanced by the host Lucia and our cycle guide Dora. Both were brilliant and have great interactions with each other and all guests. Their knowledge of Croatia past and present was shared with passion and enthusiasm. Would I recommend anything is different—introduce a cocktail hour on the boat and you'll definitely increase the spend.

- Catherine Hinds, 21/09/2026 10:03, Travelled with Family

Fabulous holiday

We were on a cycle cruise from Split to Split. What a fantastic holiday. Lucila and Dora were amazing hosts/leaders. Very helpful, knowledgeable and funny. All the crew were great. The waiters were friendly and efficient. The food was great. Accommodation was better than expected and our room was checked daily with fresh bedding and towels mid week. The e-bikes were in great condition and any issues were sorted out immediately. All in all a very good holiday.

Lovely Rides, Landscape, Food and Company

Ana and Borno, our guides, made the experience unforgettable. They put everyone at ease, provided practical and historical information, and made each ride fun. I was mesmerized by the views on the rides. The boat was modern and comfortable. The food was amazing. The entire crew was helpful, cordial and fun. The swim stops were a lot of fun and refreshing, especially after the rides.

Pure pleasure cruise and fun cycling !

I throughly enjoyed my cruise from Split return of the northern islands of Croatia. Last year I travelled the Southern islands from Dubrovnik to Split . It was so enjoyable I booked this years trip as soon as I came home I am also going to book again for 2027 The cycle tour guide was extremely good , knew routes exceptionally well and explained the route every morning in great detail . We also had a lady who cycled with us who had detailed local and historical knowledge of each location , village and town we visited The boat I was on was attractive , nice size cabin - great shower . A wardrobe and bedside cabinets . The crew were really helpful , we had lovely breakfasts and lunches every day . The captains evening dinner was great too . The boat had a bar and you could have drinks when you want If you want a relaxing cruise , with fun cycling , history and beautiful locations in Croatia - all thrown in together then I strongly recommend one of the trips Sail Croatia run .

- Alison, 14/09/2026 20:28, Travelled Solo

Amazing 🤩

We had a lovely time sailing the Islands of Croatia. Our biking guide Andre was Croatian and he had a wealth of knowledge about each destination and did a great job keeping us safe and giving us freedom to enjoy the area. Our sail Croatia coordinator Callum was amazing as well. He was very professional and fun and also very knowledgeable about Croatia. The ship staff were fabulous. They were very friendly, professional and helpful. Breakfast was a good variety and lunches were always 3 courses and lots of food. Snack were offered in the dining room every day also. Dinners were off the ship at a local restaurant except 2 dinners on the ship. The captain’s dinner and a Bar-b-que. . Both delightful. The only complaint is that the morning coffee was terrible (If you wanted a good coffee you had to buy it), the only portable water was locked up every day at 10pm in the dining room until 7am, and the bedding and towels were only changed once. We showered a lot because of sweating and biking

Split return cycle

Great week of cycling the Croatian islands Split return route. Led by our great tour managers Mario and Ivan and the fantastic crew of the Princess Diana, it was a trip to remember.

- Rick, 31/08/2026 15:39, Travelled with Family

Never Have I Ever!

My Croatia Sailing and Bicycling with Sail Croatia was over the top! The Princeza Diana was a marvel and worked with the limestone aesthetics of Croatia. Captain Mate and his Mates were not just sailors,, they assisted with the bikes and small special requests. The Cycling was pure perfection including the routes, the bikes and our guides. Special mention: Ivan guaranteed ease of ride by communicating daily routes and I must not forget Mario’s story time. One of the group’s favorites! “The Chef”s meals were a curated bonus! His meals Includied tuna steaks, silver fish, shrimp risotto and other Croatian specialties. I could hardly wait for that next meal. Sail Croatia did an outstanding job delivering an exciting vacation and I look forward to traveling with them in the future!

Bike Guides You Can't Cycle Without!

We had an amazing trip on the cycling cruise! The amenities, crew and experience were over the top and a must do. You will be overfed with some of the best food for breakfast and lunch and be well taken care of by the bar and sail staff! The real game changers were Joško and Calum as our guides for all things from the bike route, history, restaurant recs, must see sites, views and entertainment! If you are able to request them as your guides then you would be doing yourself and the rest of the guests a disservice by missing out on the elevated expertise and attitude that they bring to your experience on this trip!

Can’t wait to book another beautiful Sail Croatia again!

- Cathrin, 24/08/2026 08:46, Travelled with Family

Fabulous in every way

This trip far and away exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were excellent. The food was great, and the ship’s staff was very professional and organized. Can’t express enough how great the cruise directors were; Andro and Mario. They clearly brought together all the components of making this a successful trip with a high degree of professionalism, politely answered thousands of questions, clearly explained Croatian history with pride for the country, and used appropriately timed humor with guests; many good laughs! I’ve made many good friendships that I expect will last for years. Already looking ahead to my next Sail Croatia adventure.

- Dave, 24/08/2026 08:09, Travelled Solo

Fantastic Experience

I had a fantastic time on this cruise and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable and easy way to travel through Croatia. Everything was extremely well organised and professionally run which made the experience relaxed, enjoyable and a lot of fun. The guides were excellent and complemented each other perfectly Lucy with her knowledge of local history and culture and Ivan with directions and bike safety and their enthusiasm and personalities added to the great atmosphere. They were always available for questions or help and recommended fabulous extra excursions and local restaurants to try. There was genuinely nothing to fault. Everything ran smoothly and every member of the crew were professional, efficient and friendly. Swimming off the back of the boat was a real favourite and was organised whenever safe to do so. The meals included were sensational and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves.

- Sharon, 19/08/2026 07:48, Travelled Solo

Eat, Swim, Bike and Love it!

Sail Croatia created a magical experience for us on the clean and comfortable ‘Princeza Diana.’ Guides Lucy and Ivan made our cruise feel personal and professional with a keen sense of humor, local expertise and fun. The daily schedule was well organized with a nice mix of scheduled activities (biking, swimming, touring) and downtime. Chef Marko created amazingly delicious multi-course meals that were loved by all. The entire staff was pleasant, polite and hard-working. Bikes were in excellent condition and fun to ride. We highly recommend this fabulous experience with Sail Croatia. Ask for Lucy and Ivan - you won’t regret it!

A perfect adventure/active trip

I signed up for this trip at the last minute and I am so glad I did. It was incredible in every way. Sailing on the Afrodita to all the islands was a truly special experience. If you strive on active and adventurous trips, this trip checks all the boxes, including not only biking and swimming but also enough free time to explore the islands as you want. The guides, Tonka and Natasha, were fabulous. They are knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful, always providing just enough direction but not too much. Since they are Croatians, I got a better sense of the country through them. The trip was extremely well orchestrated. For example, we might depart from one port on an island and then be met by the boat at another port. Never any hiccups, it was like magic! They also would adjust itinary based on weather or port conditions in a seamless way. Another nice thing is that dinners were on our own, so each night, we could do whatever we wanted for the evening.

- Dan, 03/07/2026 14:57, Travelled Solo

Wonderful Bike Cruise

We had an amazing week with Tonka and Callum onboard the Mali Luka. It was a small group of 10 passengers and the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. Tonka and Callum told us many stories and recommended great things to do on each island during our free time. The food was great and the bike was enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip.

- Karlene, 03/07/2026 02:57, Travelled with Family

Lifetime experience

I was delighted on the service on the ship and quality of our tour guides Cal and Tonka. Due to potentially bad weather they worked with the captain to tour the south of the island instead of the north. As a bonus they took us to a stone sculpting school. They did extensive research on all our stops about things to see and the history of the area. They were always in tune with our needs and went above and beyond. The ship is in excellent condition, the bikes were like new. The food on the ship was delicious and plentiful. Quite often we said the ships food was better than some of the restaurants we visited. I'm looking forward to booking another holiday with Sail Croatia

- Greg, 02/07/2026 21:07, Travelled Solo

3rd time doing this trip and everyone is different but excellent - there’s nothing like it

We had a great time cycling sailing socialising and visiting the islands our guides Tonka Natasha and Tony were out to ensure everything went smoothly - their clear instructions, information with a friendliness and sense of humour was exceptional The crew too worked hard to ensure the boat was immaculate and where it should be - peter the barman and waiter was efficient with a great sense of humour A mix of nationalities made the conversations at meal times and whenever we were together more interesting I was worried when I booked this holiday for the 3rd time and it didn’t disappoint - we will be back next year for a 4th 😊 Thankyou to our guides and crew you gave it your all

Get Outside with Bike Croatia

My wife and I had a great time on the sailing and biking adventure! The guides, scenery, and bikes were amazing! The routes were challenging at times and very beautiful. We had plenty of free time and made lots of new friends from around the world. We added extra days in Split (before) and Dubrovnik (after) which were both very enjoyable. Really loved this trip!

Excellent Trip

Just came back from a wonderful cycling trip. The crew was just excellent....very professional, helpful, organized and fun! The food on the boat was simply outstanding. Every day's itinerary was well organized, with enough rest stops during the daily rides. There was also enough time on each island to do your own exploring. I'm really glad I chose Sail Croatia. I have only positive things to say about them.

- Linda, 28/06/2026 16:30, Travelled Solo

Favorite holiday ever

I didn’t know what to expect and was a little concerned doing this trip as a solo but it turned out to be beyond fantastic. The only bad thing is that it ended! Calvin and Srdan were amazing guides. The crew was efficient and kind. I needed some extra early morning assistance to get my luggage off the boat for a very early uber ride to the airport, and Iono (?) quickly volunteered and made all my stress go away. The ship was very clean. The food was fantastic. The bikes were easy to use and well maintained. The rides were a fun mix of adventure and sightseeing. I was happy to use my e-bike assist on the longer rides, which made the experience so much pre enjoyable. The swims in the sea were delightful. I easily connected with the other passengers, and I now consider many of them friends. But most of all, it was Calum and Srdan who made the week so special. Thank you!! I hope to return and bring my loved ones with!!

Great tour

Holiday was great. All staff on the boat were great to deal with. Boat was clean and safe as well as the food was excellent. Only drawback was that there were some people not on ebikes which held up the whole tour several times. Would have liked to ebike longer distances but were not able to because of this issue.

Best trip ever!

We were a group of 4 siblings, plus spouses, traveling on the Split to Dubrovnik sail/cycle route. We loved everything about the trip. I highly recommend an e-bike which helps on the long hills. Our daily guides were very knowledgeable about the islands we cycled. Each morning before we cycled, the Guide would explain some history of the island, and what to look out for on the upcoming day's ride. One Guide led and the other followed the group. The scenery was spectacular. The food was very good, and the accommodations were comfortable. We stayed in a different port each night so between cycling and walking around the different ports, we got a flavor of each individual island.

- Alisa, 23/06/2026 21:03, Travelled with Family

Best Experience Ever!

I’ve had an amazing time and a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Not only were our guides Ivan and Lucy were amazing during the bike tours, they also provided amazing suggestions on things to do and where to eat. They were very well organized and took care of everything even reservation reservations, or booking tours. Lucy also provided us with so much history and information on every island we were at. It was such an amazing trip and an adventure of a lifetime. They made sure everyone was included and had something to do that, giving many alternatives incase some groups wanted to do their own thing. We made so many unforgettable memories as well as friends. I definitely would recommend and would totally do it again! Lucy and Ivan are the best people, friends, and guides ever!

Happy Trails

Fantastic! I traveled with my sister & friends. We shared both Northern/May 30, Mali Ante, & Southern/June 6, Afrodita on the 2 different yachts. After top notch dining, lodging, & exceptional friendly service on the Mali Ante, our second week on Afrodita yacht/crew was a bit of a let down. The towns, e-bike touring & special time shared with family/friends learning about Croatia was great! Again the crew on Mali Ante were professional, fun, & top notch! It also made a huge difference that Mali Ante crew were respectful of guests with cigarette smoking. It’s not fashionable & or healthy to most people.

Lovely Sail / Cycle Trip

The guides were great, very informative and knowledgeable throughout the trip. The food was good, and we had the opportunity to see many stunning places. Croatia is a truly beautiful country. One area for improvement would be the towel service, as towels were only changed once a week. I also felt that the recommended gratuity of €105 per guide was quite expensive. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, with plenty of beautiful sights and memorable moments.

Sail Croatia team Miranda and Matilda were fantastic guides taking care of every level of cyclers capability and entertaining us with stops along the way to talk about the islands and areas we were touring. The boat and crew were fantastic, boat was like new and crew were so accommodating to guests. The food was absolutely excellent.

Croatia trip of a lifetime 2026🇨🇦🥰

It was amazing. The cyclist guides Miranda and Meredith were highly skilled, patient, professional, and a joy to spend time with. The crew made our trip a real pleasure. I can’t wait to share my experience with all my friends back home in Canada.🇨🇦

Tremendous experience

Fantastic. As hosts and cycling guides, Callum and Josko were first class. They were very supportive and ensured each ride was completed with safety in mind. They were knowledgeable about the areas we cycled through and provided snippets of the history that truly added value to the rides. Enjoyment of the rides and our overall holiday was paramount. They truly made a first class partnership that enhanced our experience no end. Although the crew were less engaged in one-to-one engagement within our daily activities they made the cruise experience a very enjoyable one and should also be commended.

Poor value for the money

First off I want to say that the cycling was fantastic. Having said that, our trip was rated a 2.5/5 which is true but that rating is the average of the intensity of the rides. So some days were 1/5 and some were 4/5. We had an issue in our bathroom that was not resolved until the 4th day. The food was mediocre at best. Very little fruit, everything was cold, croissants that weren't baked through, single ingredient salads, only instant coffee unless you were willing to pay extra, Drinks were expensive, you couldn't get single glasses of wine. Our guide was knowledgeable but he spoke so quickly it was difficult to follow what he was saying. Both he and the other guide were friendly and helpful. I found my bike to be comfortable but there were a number of issues with the bikes in general. Croatia is beautiful and I would recommend exploring it by bike but not with SailCroatia.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found the cycling fantastic and that you enjoyed exploring Croatia by bike. It's also wonderful to know that you found both guides friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and that you were comfortable on your bike throughout the trip.

Our ratings are intended to reflect the overall average difficulty of the tour, and as you noted, daily rides can vary depending on the terrain and itinerary, with some days being more challenging than others.

We're sorry to hear that the food did not meet your expectations and clearly there is room for improvement based on your feedback. It has already been passed on to the relevant parties for review.

Croatia Bike Cruise

Our cruise with Sail Croatia was lovely. The biking was a bit more challenging & athletic than anticipated, so we were happy to have e-bikes. But our tour guides Marin & Natasha were knowledgeable & skilled so we always felt safe. Daily rides lasted 3-6 hours, the latter with added excursions. Some on quiet remote roads, but a few on rather busy thruways. I'd suggest offering a more leisurely bike option with site-seeing stops (we did coffee & beach stops but they were very brief) The boat itself was basic but comfortable (premier class). Our room was adequate & clean, with a large bathroom, plenty of hot water & AC. However there were some lacking amenities such as a comfortable lounge area away from the wind when at sail, with seating enough for everyone on board. We were also expecting sun loungers on the top deck, but there were just a few plastic chairs. Lastly the buffet breakfasts were wonderful, but not the plated lunches. I'd suggest offering buffet instead.

An amazing adventure

This trip exceeded expectations in every way! The guides, Yosko and Calum were so knowledgeable and fun! You could tell they really kept the needs of the group at the forefront! The cycling was fabulous- what an incredible way to see the country! Food was excellent and plentiful- I have dietary needs and I felt so well taken care of! I will recommend this trip to everyone I know!

The trip exceeded our expectations. Our tour guides, Josep and Sasha were professional, engaging, friendly and respectful. They were always open to questions and suggestions. The history was very informative and fascinating. The two of them as a team were very cheerful and funny. We loved that they always went above and beyond. The kitchen chef and staff were always working hard to provide us with wonderful food. They took care to give us a large assortment of food that always exceeded our expectations. We are excited to explore possible other trips with Sail Croatia.🇭🇷

Exceptional Bike Boat Trip

The holiday was more than excellent. The boat was very clean and comfortable. The crew were exceptional being very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and our chef was great. Our tour managers Tonka and Lucija were wonderful. I really liked story time with history of Croatia etc. They regularly updated us on the group Whatsup. I was pleased I changed to an E-bike a month before leaving as there were some long hills to climb. We had a great very friendly group. I would def recommend this bike boat trip with Sail Croatia to anyone. I love Croatia.

We can’t thank you enough. From the moment we made contact we have received the best service with communication received every step of the way. We had the best time on the Mali Luka. The crew were fantastic and always so helpful. All the meals were amazing and so much food!!! Our guides Josko and Callum are AMAZING!!!! Their knowledge and experience certainly made the trip even better than we expected!! We could not fault anything and are so pleased that we did the cycle cruise as we got to see so much more of each island and receive so much information from our guides!! We will be recommending this to all our friends as we think this is a must do for anyone who likes a cycle holiday!!!

Our guides, Cal and Joska, the captain Ivan and the hardworking crew were fantastic!!! They met all our needs, served delicious food and joined in our fun!! Informative morning briefings were made especially comical with Joska’s use of creative language!! A special thank you to Cal for extra time spent with me at each stop for historical perspective! I’d sail with them anywhere!!

Fantastic due to Ivan and Borna first of all. The bike guides! The places we went, the efficiency of the crew getting the bikes ready each day and the food service on time every time. Nice food to get thru an active day.. I would recommend Sail Croatia and especially the bike tour to everyone.

We had an amazing trip. My cabin sheets were unscented which I needed for scent allergies. The cook took great care with food for my allergies. Ivan and Borna were wonderful guides.

Top Trip!

Such a great holiday! Croatia is beautiful, the Croatian people friendly and welcoming. The cycle cruises combine an excellent blend of varied cycling, sailing and sightseeing. The trips are carefully curated to include the most appealing towns and cycle routes. The balance between "group activity" and independent exploration is just right. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and committed to ensuring a great holiday experience for the whole group. Our boat Emmanuel was everything we could have hoped for with an excellent captain and crew.

Sail and Bike in May 2026

I enjoyed the other people on the tour and the guides (Marin and Martin). I did feel that the boat used was not a proper one for this kind of cruise. Once the bikes were loaded there was little room left. I noted other boats when at dock that were roomier on the stern on the middle. Also, the breakfast buffet was poorly organized. Again, there was a lack of space forcing people into a small table area where only one person could get in and had to come back out into the same line. There should be access in the round and not at one of the eating tables. When parked alongside other boats there was no airflow. This became an issue when the air conditioning was not working. The crew was not very friendly, were smoking near the eating area and on their phones. There were no smokers on the tour so it was somewhat disgusting to have to inhale the crews cigarette smoke. They should go off the boat or to the upper deck if they want to smoke. The food was not of good quality. Needs improvement.

Leaving the beach holiday behind.

Having struggled over the last few years with what works for us as a holiday, my wife and I have bounced between exotic destinations and luxury beach holidays. We’ve found that neither are particularly fulfilling and, although we’ve always enjoyed ourselves, we feel that our experience has been lacking. We thought that we would leave our comfort zone by trying an activity holiday with a group of complete strangers. Having just finished a cruise with Sail Croatia, I can honestly say that, certainly for us, I feel that we’ve found what was missing. A holiday which was centred around our activity level but challenged us to push ourselves further. An experience which allowed us to form friendships with travellers from all over the world. A well led and curated cultural introduction, facilitated by guides (Marin & Olja) who love their country and job, while supporting their guests to bond, experience and enjoy their holiday. We would definitely recommend this holiday, company and guides.

- Ross, 25/05/2026 15:59, Travelled with Family

Unforgettably Great

The Adriatic islands are now my favorite area - they have it all. The cruise/biking experience was icing on a marvelous cake. Lauren, Andro and crew took good care of the 17 of us with humor, insights and kindness. It’s obvious that the company has figured things out so itinerary can be adjusted as necessary. Wi-Fi worked great, a “WhatsApp” site, good food, fine accommodations. I’d note only that e-bikes should be considered essential due to the distances and grades - all but 2 in our group had them and were VERY grateful.

- Thomas, 25/05/2026 10:16, Travelled with Family

Did not meet expectations

The cycling itself was great! The island cycling routes are challenging (in a good way) with so many epic views. The ship and (some) crew, however, fell short of expectations. The Dionis boat was old and a bad experience from the start, especially compared to the other boats for the same price (which you walk through & see what you are missing out on). I feel ripped off. Even sail Croatia staff commented on Dionis being the worst! A leaking roof in my cabin, leaking shower, significant slant in my room so my head was lower than my feet in bed, uncomfortable common areas compared to other boats. Very basic, not like in the pictures on the website. Some crew members were not very engaging…seemed like they didn’t want to be there. No help offered with carrying luggage across multiple ships on arrival. Had to ask multiple times for things like a room key for example, or to have the chirping smoked detector fixed. The single supplement fee is outrageous. the food is plentiful but just ok.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cycling routes and the incredible scenery - this is such a key part of the experience, so it’s great to know this aspect delivered. We’re sad to hear that elements of your onboard experience did not meet expectations. Having reviewed feedback from all travellers on your departure, the ship received an average score of 4.58 out of 5, so it’s disappointing to hear that your personal experience fell short of this, and of what you were expecting from your trip. Dionis is part of our Premier ship category, which offers a comfortable and sociable cruising experience, and we’re sorry to hear that aspects such as your cabin and onboard service did not reflect this for you. Your comments regarding maintenance, comfort, and crew engagement have been shared with our operations team so they can be reviewed directly. I can see at the time of enquiry you requested a Single Supplement to ensure you had a private cabin to yourself, rather than sharing with another guest. With regards to the Single Supplement, this is set at 50% of the per person price across the industry, as cabins are designed to accommodate two guests, and the supplement reflects sole occupancy of that space. For guests seeking a more spacious onboard environment, larger cabins, and additional onboard features, we do offer our Premier Plus ship range on our Cycle Croatia cruises, which may be a better fit depending on preferences and of course budget. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re glad you were still able to enjoy the cycling and the stunning Croatian islands.

Croatian island cycling

I would recomend Sail Croatia as an amazing way to see the beautiful islands. Our cycling guides Marin and Johnny were great, providing support and informative facts throughout the trip, with our safety as a priority. The staff on the Emmanuel looked after us very well, excellent food and very clean cabins. My only disappointment was the uncomfortable mattress.

My 2026 Sail & Cycle Tour

My sister in law and I had the best experience on our Sail & Cycle Croatia tour. Our holiday began in Split. As we sailed along the coast to various ports, we cycled to cover more ground. I give this company my 5 star rating for the dynamic time we spent on board and in every port. Thanks to our Dionis crew, I highly recommend Sail Croatia for your next adventure. Zivjeli!

Best Way to See the Islands!

Our trip could not have been better! The Princess Diana is a beautiful boat perfectly set up for navigating port to port and biking. Our cabin was comfortable with all the amenities needed though most of our time was spent in the salon, on deck, or biking. We cannot say enough about our tour guides Ivica and Ana. Safety of the riders was always top of mind. Ivica knows the islands intimately and he planned rides with stops for great photos, a swim and coffee or ice cream. Ana’s knowledge of the islands’ history is impressive and her clever antidotes and “myths” entertained us. Chef is a master and the food delicious. Tea and Danny were engaging and professional and took time to explain each dish. Especially memorable was the Captain’s Dinner! The Captain and crew were amazing, getting us to port on time and in a favorable location. We enjoyed watching the docking maneuvers…great team work! The ideal weather and our new biking friends made the entire week perfect.

A wonderful trip making memories with new friends

I travelled as a solo passenger but needn't have worried. From the offset it was the friendliest group of passengers, staff and crew i have ever met. The 2 Sail Croatia leaders, josko and Lauren , were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble, managing to change my picky carnivorous diet to a vegetarian one after 2 days. It was exactly the same with the crew of our boat, the "Dionis"- a very comfortable and ideally sized boat for the holiday- bigger boats around seemed too big and cold compared to the smaller boats. The excursions and cycle routes were absolutely ideal. Most of our 15 passengers opted for the E-bikes but 4 of us had the normal calf powered versions, which didn’t detract from the enjoyment. We had the chance to have a swim stop most days and after a chilly 10 minutes swim, the scorching onboard showers were a very pleasurable welcome experience. This was my first time as a solo traveller on a group trip but i now see it as the only way forward in future

- Simon, 18/05/2026 22:09, Travelled Solo

BEST TIME EVER !!!!

I absolutely LOVED this trip the guides were amazing with fun facts on each island we visited and there biking knowledge made me feel at ease at every junction.

Bike and ride

Great time away, food was not to my liking and very bland especially the soups. Mash potato was like slop on plate meat stew very tough. Coffee not nice all agreed bought my own and it went missing. Toilet paper should be filled properly at all times as only little was put in and we kept running out along with others. No ware to sit when weather was so bad as only 4 seats by bar all tables were played straight after breakfast. Breakfast: nothing left one morning at 7.45 when breakfast should have been until 8.30. Plates taken when we were still eating at breakfast meats and cheese removed so fast not time to eat, most days they had breakfast cleared down before 8.15 making many of us feeling rushed and not able to eat what we wanted for our breakfast. The crew were very nice . Would have liked the bikes we paid for to have been available when we were not on ride so we could explore. Felt the whole week centred around them not us.

Waiting until I'm 66 was worth it.

Nice number of guests. Team leaders/tour mangers absolutely terrific, as well all the crew. Food amazing. Accomodation was very comfortable. Such a memorable trip. A great combination of traveling on a midsize boat, max. 32 guests, we had 17 which made the excursion so much more personable with guests and crew.

Suprise onboard charges

We were advised after we sailed about extra charges above those we paid for the trip, 50.00 per person port taxes and harbor charges. Why were surprised by these because sail Croatia didn’t tell us. Not very nice. To be paid in cash before final disembarking.

Best way to see Croatia!

This was our first visit to Croatia and we loved every minute of it! We had regular bikes and found the rides challenging at times with the 'rolling hills' but so worth it for the views! Beautiful villages, coastline and crystal clear water! The tour guides, Tonka, Matilda and Elena were superb and the crew on board The Emanuel were very attentive and kind, especially Christina! Everything ran so smoothly, and for the first cruise of the season, the weather was fantastic! Made lots of new friends and had a good laugh with like-minded travellers from across the globe!

A totally awesome vacation

From our cycling guides to the boat's crew to the food everything couldn't have been better. Our daily cycling had enough flexibility for those who wanted to go from point A to point B quickly could do so and those who wanted to stop and take photos could. The rides were broken up with coffee/rest stops such that there was a relaxed rather than hurry-up feeling I'd experienced on other cycling vacations. I wasn't sure how I felt about cycling in the morning rather than part morning, part afternoon with a lunch stop but I actually preferred it to other schedules. Breakfast had a great variety of hot and cold options and I never expected a 3 course lunch each day. The late April water was too cold for me to do more than a quick jump in and out but having the streets and small villages to ourselves was preferable to later in the season and having to avoid crowds. It was a wonderful experience.

Perfection from Sail Croatia !

Holiday of a lifetime on a cycling cruise on board the ship Princeza Diana doing the Split return South route. Stunning boat. Very large cabins , spotless en suite , cleaned daily. Fantastic cycling guides Ana and Srjan who looked after us and talked about the history of each island. Took in amazing views, great for photo opportunities. The daily swim stops were incredible , highlight of the trip for me. Beautiful crystal clear water. Swam off the boat. Excellent food and top class hospitality from the whole crew. Good value for money. I am booking again for next year to do a hiking cruise. This is a must do trip for anyone wanting to see Croatia !!!

Our bike guide Marin was amazing. He is so very knowledgeable and made us feel very safe riding in some dangerous locations. It felt like We all respected him right from the moment we heard him speak. Ilona was the back guide and she is a sweet, caring girl who was always so helpful and supportive.

- Kim, 06/10/2025 11:31, Travelled with Family

It was an ok cruise.

Provide daily written out itinerary for people to actually read what times and where things were going on. Have an intercom (overhead speaker) so people can be alerted of pertinent info for all passengers. Verbal daily communication from guide was poor on daily activities. Cycle times need to be longer with less “coffee” breaks (30 min ride, 45 min stop) Our guide, was rude. Our other guide, Mario, was great. Overall, first impression of accommodations found that a bed overhead light was broken with wires exposed, safe didn’t work, tight quarters and air conditioning was poor, Reported broken light immediately and it was repaired.. Safe reported not working, told how to use by crew, but those instructions didn’t work….finally found written safe instructions on top shelf (which we couldn’t see beforehand) and was able to get the safe working on our own.. Food was ok. Bikes were outstanding quality….so good, I’m considering purchasing that brand. Swim stops were great.

Hi Charlene, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for highlighting the many positives – we’re pleased to know you enjoyed the swim stops, food, guidance from Mario, and the quality of the bikes, which we’re glad to hear impressed you enough to consider purchasing for yourself. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding a written itinerary, intercom, and cycle breaks, which have been passed on to our Operations Team. We are disheartened to read your comments about one of the Guides, as he has consistently received high praise throughout the season. We’re glad the issues with the light and safe were addressed during your stay, and we will share your note about clearer instructions with our team. Your comments are valuable as we continue striving to enhance our guests’ experience.

Pleased

It really was a great trip, Marin and Mario were exceptional. They covered all the bases for having a safe and worry, free experience, very professional. Personally, I could’ve used a little bit longer routes to cycle and myself and a few others felt the last cycle stop was a little risky getting on and off the boat. I’m off to extend my journey and vacation, but I think that this part of it’s gonna be the best of everything overall Thanks, John.

- John, 29/09/2025 11:53, Travelled Solo

What an amazing trip.

This is a must do trip,a great way to combine abit of exercise and to explore Croatia. The two guides Marin and Josip were excellent very knowledgeable and nothing was a problem. Everyday they explained the plan for the next day so you always knew what was happening. They also gave recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing at the port stops. So stop thinking about it and book as sometimes life and circumstances can change. Thanks for a great week.

- Christine , 26/09/2025 16:32, Travelled with Family

Overall a great experience

Great staff. Bike routes well laid out and planned with interesting stops for swimming and cafes to get a delicious cup of coffee. Bikes were well maintained and very easy to ride. Any problems that did arise were handled quickly. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of food to choose from. Coffee not so good, needs improvement. Could purchase cappuccino on board which was good. Lunch definitely needs improvement. Most times it was cold. Soup was watery. Desserts were delicious. No on board safety protocols. We didn’t realize until third day into trip that life vests were under our bed. I would definitely recommend this trip.

- Henny, 26/09/2025 09:24, Travelled with Family

Highly Recommend!

The entire crew on the Columbo was outstanding. Maren and Josip were great tour guides for the week and offering a lot of history to the p[laces we visited.

Split to Dubrovnik cycling cruise

Our guides, Marin and Josip, were outstanding! They provided detailed information about each day's cycling route and the history about each island we visited. They were always available to answer any questions/address any concerns. Both guys were so passionate about their job, and they had such a great sense of humor. In addition, the rest of the crew was fabulous, also. We mainly interacted with Bruno, the bartender, dining room host, and server. He also did an outstanding job taking care of all of us. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active vacation!

Split to Dubrovnik Cycling Cruise

The guides were first-rate. Marin, the cruise director, was conscientious, helpful, and friendly. We always knew what was happening and when. Josip, the cycling guide, kept us safe and made sure we enjoyed the rides. Our group included avid cyclists and people who had biked only rarely. We all had a great experience. The entire crew of the Columbo was efficient, friendly, and hardworking.

- Brian, 24/09/2025 05:32, Travelled with Family

Great staff, cycling, and food!

My family and I, all adults, enjoyed a fabulous time aboard the Mali Ante just recently during the week of September 13 - 20th, 2025. The captain and his crew took exceptional care of us throughout the week. Ivica and Sasa were our terrific personable and gracious cycling and social convenors. The chef made delicious meals and offered non-meat food options for me, Mario provided excellent service in the dining room and salon. I can't thank them all enough for providing an incredible sailing and cycling adventure for us all! I hope to return for another trip with Sail Croatia and would love to see this crew again!

Mali Ante Review

The crew and guides that were on the Mali Ante were amazing. Especially Ivica and Saša our guides for the biking. They had a great understanding of the routes and were always looking out for everyone in the group. Couldn’t speak more highly of the both of them. The boat crew were amazing as well always willing to accommodate to our needs. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks

- Sue, 22/09/2025 12:52, Travelled with Family

Timing is everything

Miranda and Sanya at SC paced the week perfectly balancing between bike time, boat time and town time. They were more like coaches than guides for an old guy (no e bike for me). Highly recommend them.

Excellent Bike & Boat trip

This was our seventh B & B trip and we had an excellent time. The staff and guides did an excellent job throughout the week. The food on the ship was very good. We used ebikes which I would recommend, they made the hills which there are many very easy to peddle up. There were not any panier bags on the bikes to carry anything in so I would recommend brining a small backpack or sling bike while riding.

- Michael & Janet, 16/09/2025 12:45, Travelled with Family

So Much Fun!

Our tour guides were Ana and Marin. Our guides were awesome – they knew so much of the history of Croatia and shared it freely. The food on the boat was OK. The breakfast buffet was really good; lunch was hit and miss but mostly good. Some people found the lunches not quite enough food if you are a big eater. Drink prices on the boat were really reasonable. Would ask that you recommend the e-bike option for everyone as there was a lot of waiting for the manual bikes as some of the hills on the islands are no joke. A water bottle holder would be nice on the bikes. Would recommend the cycling jersey be included in the package. It would be great advertising for you. To charge $70 for a cycling jersey after you have spent over $2000 USD seemed excessive. Loved that our captain Martin was very safety conscious even if it meant we didn’t always get a swim stop as the seas were too rough. Our bike guide Marin also was very safety conscious which was great to ensure we completed

- Anita, 10/09/2025 14:00, Travelled Solo

Our week with Sail Croatia on the bike cruise was nothing less than wonderful. Our tour guides, Josep and Illona were very knowledgeable and patient. We had a wonderful time getting to know our fellow ship mates and exploring the small Croatian islands. I certainly hope to be back soon.

- Anna, 11/08/2025 06:34, Travelled with Family

My first trip to Croatia

This was my first time to Croatia and my daughter and I spent our first week on the Sale Croatia boat, the Princesa Diana. This was a pretty remarkable time. They have figured out everything you need for a great cruise. You sail from Island to Island, bike in the morning, swim in the afternoon and make some great friends. If you’re not comfortable biking longer distances, definitely choose the E bike The food and company is terrific. I saw more of Croatia than I ever would have done on my own. I highly recommend this company.

- Kirstin , 11/08/2025 06:34, Travelled with Family

Amazing way to experience Croatia!

When you combine bikes, beaches, islands, great food and new friends it doesn't get much better than this. The islands we went to and the scenic bike rides were beautiful. Our guides Josef and Ilona were fantastic. Both were very engaging, informative and had a great sense of humour. Josef was conscientious of all riders abilities, he was such a great leader and made our trip very fun in so many ways. The crew on the boat were also great. The chef put out incredible meals every time - everyone was talking about the meals. Overall, an amazing experience.

Wonderful Guides, Lovely Staff, Beautiful Scenery

I went on the Sail Croatia cycle cruise (Dubrovnik to Split) in June/July 2025 with my immediate family. Despite the heat, we had a marvelous time. The biking aspect was well-organized and our guides, Miranda and Matilda, were full of information and stories about our cycling routes and destinations. They were so much fun! The crew (apologies for lack of the correct Croatian letters on my keyboard), Toncii, Halim, Dinko, Zdravko, and our Captain Ivan, made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Each day brought a different view of Croatia. What a memorable way to spend my first visit here! Would love to come back :)

- Elizabeth, 30/07/2025 22:59, Travelled with Family

Super Cycle Tour

My second Sail Croatia holiday and just as good as the first. I chose the Split Northern Cycle Tour to explore some new places and more of some of the places I'd visited previously, It was a great trip with an excellent multi national bunch of people on board. We were well looked after and the rides were excellent, scenic, varied, interesting and challenging but do go for the e-bike option unless you are a serious bike rider!

- Peter, 22/07/2025 12:45, Travelled Solo

Cycle Dubrovnik to Split

Superb trip, so well looked after by all the crew and our wonderful guides Miranda and Matilda. When they said e bikes were powerful , too true. No hill however steep was an issue! Worth paying the extra for e-bike as it made cycling in the heat pleasurable. Also worth paying extra for cabin up top. Travelling with my sister in law , we had plenty of space and bathroom was fine. Food was tasty and there was always tea, coffee and water available . Finally , excellent company from a varied group of companions from all over the world. . Thankyou one and all.

Superb, could not have been any better.

I was on the Afrodita Sail Croatia 2nd-9th June 2025. The trip was fabulous. Brilliantly stunning scenery every day, rides varied but always such fun. Wonderfully led by the excellent Ivan and Lucija they just made the whole experience so much more fun. Some lovely beach stops along the way and even on occasion some free time to ourselves on the bikes to explore. The food on board was plentiful and so tasty, loads of variety for breakfast and three course fine dining lunches each day, Andre the barman was brilliant too. And plenty of free time to explore each day.

The tour leaders (Ivica and Mario) were great hosts, made sure we had a safe and interesting bike tour. The food was excellent, and the cycling on the different islands was fantastic. What a beautiful country ! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

- Terry , 16/06/2025 04:03, Travelled Solo

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.

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.

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!

The Most Amazing Experience of My Life – Sail Croatia ❤️

Sail Croatia was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. The staff were absolutely incredible- so loving, kind, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You could tell they really cared about our experience, and that made all the difference. The boat itself was immaculate. Everything was kept so neat and tidy throughout the entire week, and it truly felt like a floating home. But what made the trip even more special were the people. I met some of the most amazing souls – people who started as strangers and became true friends, and even family. There's a unique bond that forms when you’re sailing, sharing meals, and cycling long miles. I can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for the memories, the friendships, and the magic. I’ll treasure this forever!

- Savannah, 09/06/2025 12:37, Travelled with Family

Amazing trip

The small sized ships allowed access to smaller, quieter, and less busy ports allowing access to the real charm of Croatia. We loved the varied destinations, ports, and rides. No two days were the same. It also allowed us to really interact with the other guests and get to know them well. Our guide’s knowledge of the area and its history was excellent and very informative.

- Jay, 09/06/2025 09:28, Travelled with Family

Caring guides, Marin is a great story teller and knows a lot about the history of Croatia.

It felt like I was with family whilst on the boat. I needed to go to hospital and was cared for brilliantly by Marin and Johnny. The cycling was fantastic getting to see so much of each Island.

Unforgettable People, Places and Experiences

With 3 20-something-year-old kids beginning to go in different directions, we were looking to explore Croatia together and solidify a vacation full of lifelong family memories together. I stumbled upon Sail Croatia as we looked for ways to see the coastal cities and islands. Boy, were we glad we did! An extra bonus was the ability to combine a bit of adventure and activity through a biking cruise. I can't say enough positive things about our experience on Mali Luka and the wonderful crew and captain. Our leaders Mila and Mario, were full of knowledge, experience, hospitality, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, kindness and a passion for the beauty and history of their country. The entire experience was top-notch. The meals and service on board were exceptional and delivered with a smile - always. We loved getting to know so many people from across the world with peace and trust and hospitality. We will forever cherish our memories and new friends from our Sail Croatia experience!

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Took this trip with my family as a last hurrah before my sister gets married. It was everything and more I could have hoped for! I truly believe it was the best way to see Croatia. We did the cycling cruise and visited so many incredible places on the islands we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Our boat was always clean, the meals were FANTASTIC, but what really made it was the crew and our cycling guides. Haleem, one of our crew members, catered to every need and was always around to chat with us or teach us a new card game. Our cycling guides, Mila and Mario, were so knowledgeable and made sure to always provide us with the most out of every opportunity. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

- Kailee, 03/06/2025 01:25, Travelled with Family

Best way to see Croatian islands!

What an amazing experience - see more of the real Croatia away from tourist ports!. Our tour leaders were fantastic. Ivica was so knowledgeable about the islands and history and always very aware for our safety. Calhum and his tales and folklore of each town… and of course the best music choice! The whole crew - so attentive to all our needs. Azra and Ino cooked up amazing food and great desserts. Keno always had a smile as he welcomed us to breakfast and served up our drinks. The captain Mate and Ilya- excellent boatman and of course captain Mate’s boat was beautiful and well maintained. Very modern bathrooms with great hot water! My one word of VERY important advice - get the e-bike!!! Especially with loop! Can’t wait for the next one!

- Monika, 02/06/2025 13:35, Travelled Solo

Sail and cycle - best holiday ever

The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.

Review

The locations and crew were outstanding. Our guides Mario and Marin were full of knowledge and stressed safe riding. The crew on the boat were also very good. The booking process was less than stellar. My son and I were assigned a room with one double bed, not two singles. Since are large people, it did not work. He slept under the bed. Booking knew the assignment but would not/could not change it. Serious screw up by the office staff.

Ceira, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2025-06-05:

Hi Larry, thank you for your review and for your kind words about our guides and crew – we’re delighted you enjoyed the overall experience. We regret to read about your booking experience. As outlined in our FAQs, cabin types vary by ship and are based on 2 people sharing – with configurations including twin beds, bunk beds, or one double bed. Whilst preferences can be requested at booking, we cannot guarantee specific layouts due to each ship’s unique cabin setup and limited availability. Final cabin allocations are confirmed a week before departure. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again.

Wonderful trip aboard Mali Luka. We were well taken care of.

Great and plentiful food, great bike trips were carefully planned for our interest and safety.. Staff was receptive and helpful throughout the trip. The islands visited were magnificent visually and people were friendly and helpful. Learning the history added to the trip as well.

Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!

Simply Magical

This was my first time on Sail Croatia cycling cruise, and it far exceeded anything I Imagined, The cycling routes were stunning, with breathtaking vistas. Immersed in the scent of lavender and rosemary along the way, and the olive groves lining the landscape.. What truly made the trip exceptional were the two cycling guides, Ivica and Anita. Their skill and attention to saftey helped me feel completely at ease. Ivica went beyond expectations with optional bonus rides and hikes. His deep knowledge of the area's routes and history added an unexpected layer of richness to the experience. Anita's warmth and knowledge of history and restaurant recommendations made them a great duo. The crew of the Mall Ante were warm, attentive and made us feel completely taken care of. I felt like part of the family. I already have reccomended Sail Croatia and I just got back two days ago. Thank you to everyone who made my solo trip the first of many cycling trips to come.

Fabulous week making great friends

The boat “ Mali Anti “ was more comfortable and larger than I expected. My cabin was large with wardrobe and cupboard space again more than I am used to on smaller boats . The shower and bathroom was clean and functional . The Crew were always around to help , immaculate in serving us and attending all our needs . The food was enjoyable and plenty bearing in mind we were cycling every day . I met many new friends and had a fun time which was again above my expectations. The crew who took us on our cycle trips , Ivica and Anita were brilliant. Helped us all from flat tyres repair , advice on restaurants, bars.interesting stories of the history of all the locations and islands they took us to . They made us safe and looked after us making the whole week just perfect The islands were stunning , cycling through beautiful villages , vineyards and deserved coffee stops meant I had such a fabulous holiday I am back home for 2 days and have booked again for next year!

- Alison, 21/05/2025 19:07, Travelled Solo

Boat - Bike - Food

Three reasons to go. Boat: Gorgeous comfy boat and cabin with such beautiful wood work with lots of places for the guests to spread out and relax. Bike: Awesome bike riding through all terrain with a close up view of each island. I am not a big bike rider but an relatively fit so found the rides enjoyably challenging. Never felt rushed. Ebikers went ahead and classic bikes hung back and paced themselves. And the food! Being a vegetarian I did not want to get my hopes up but boy did they impress me. Incredibly well prepared food. And with all the biking I had an appetite that was well satisfied. And consider yourself blessed if you get Ivan and Marin as your guides. Those guys took such good care of everyone - especially me being the only solo guest. And Marvin's historical briefings for each island was something I looked forward to each day! Thanks for the lifetime memories!

Loved the experience however….

I felt that while the guides did an exemplary job. The large number of cyclists (29) in the group was dangerous. The group should have been split into two. Complimentary tea and coffee while on board would have been appreciated. Other cycling tours we’ve been on gave out water bottles which are fun to have and a source of advertising for the company.

Great staff, great facilities but…

The staff could not have been more helpful, the guides were knowledgeable and were quick to make changes when the weather demanded it. However charging €40 for a bottle of sparkling wine that retails at £6 is outrageous.

Best holiday experience!!!

The combination of cruising, cycling and exploring the islands along the southern Dalmatia was perfect. The experienced guides were the best! Thank you Jošco and Ana. The captain and his crew were always helpful and accommodating. The chef's dishes were always tasty. I will Sail Croatia and cycle again!

Great time as always

My third time with sail Croatia. Best boat. Best crew. Best guides, and by far the best FOOD. The cook was so much better than the other ships I was on. Big compliments to the chef!!! Well done.

Party of 29

What a fantastic time we had, not being a cyclist riding the EBikes was the best thing. We were able to take in all the views that each day gave us. Our cycle guides Josko and Ann were simply the best. Loved the tales we were told at many stops. Thank you also to our crew, Ben our waiter was amazing one person to look after 29 of us. We will be back

Sail Croatia biking tour

Tour guides Tonka and Anita made this the best tour I’ve ever been on. They truly care about making it the Magical experience it was. My daughter and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this biking tour to anyone. Thank you for the memories!! Susan

Great Experience - Would Recommend

I travelled solo, on the Emanuel boat on the Cycling cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Cycling was a great way to see the different islands of Croatia. The guides (Ana and Josko) knew the area really well, and organised a fun ride on each island with beautiful views. The e-bike allowed me to sweat or relax as much as I wanted. There were 3 people who got a regular bike (no e-assist) but they were pretty serious cyclists. I'd recommend an e-bike unless you want a difficult bike ride on your holiday. I appreciated the daily stops for swimming off the boat too! I really enjoyed the schedule of breakfast and lunch on the boat - With a 2-3 hour cycle in between. And then you get your own free time to explore an island after lunch. Great way to explore, relax, eat local, and experience each island. As a solo traveler, I paid a 50% extra to have my own room. It's worth it for me, but to each their own. I'd highly recommend this cruise, and hope I get to go again soon!!

Crew part of your family

The crew went to great lengths daily to address any questions or concerns. The food was great and if you liked your morning eggs other than was offered, the cook took orders. The cycling staff was very attentive to your safety and to each person physically being able to do days planned route. All in all great service for an affordable price.

Beautiful

The boat was handsome and comfortable. The food was delicious. The crew was responsive and funny and kind. And the islands were a sight to behold.

Dubrovnik-Split Bike and Sail

Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.

Absolutely Brilliant Holiday!

This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!

Memorable

The crew was fantastic, the people that were guests were amazing, and the planning that went into making it all happen was incredible! We felt that the tour was very thoughtful and it made the most of what the weather and the islands had to offer. We have done the Sail Croatia tour once before seven years previous to this trip. We felt just as good about it and that is why we returned.

Another excellent holiday with Sail Croatia

Brilliant format. Some exercise, great scenery and hospitality from the Croatians. Good food on-board and in the towns. Lovely friendly and interesting other guests/passengers. Excellent crew and travel guides.

Cycle trip

Friendly staff. Well organized guides. Clean ship

Just Fantastic!

We traveled with family and friends - everyone had a connection to at least one other person and my sister - the organizer - had done a cruise on the Mali Ante the year before, so certainly all of that familiarity contributed, but the trip was just a wonderful combination of exercise, relaxation, wonderful people, perfect weather and idyllic destinations. I don't remember ever being that relaxed and content.

- Debbie, 30/09/2024 18:12, Travelled with Family

Fabulous

The staff MADE the trip! Ivica, Andro, and Andres were wonderful. I will certainly ask to be on their boat when we book again😍
