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.

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!!

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!!

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.

Amazing! Very well organized. The 2 tour guides were lovely and very knowledgable. The ship was immaculate, beds so comfortable, bathroom very new. The food was plentiful and delicious. All staff were 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

Bike & Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations as our guides Andro & Mario were professional, caring, knowledgeable and so fun! The crew was top notch with young Sonia & Danillo keeping us all hydrated We lucked out with a very cohesive group of bikers who we now consider friends like family. Can’t wait to book another beautiful Sail Croatia again!

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!

The Sail Croatia Team made this a trip of a lifetime for ourselves and adult kids..

The entire staff has set a very ‘high bar’ for quality and friendliness Thanks to all of you for making this trip so memorable!

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
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
- Jane, 01/07/2026 16:08, Travelled with Family
Perfect! Loved the whole week. Well worth it. Spectacular scenery and swim spots through the islands. Guides Callum and serge were awesome as were the whole Mali Luka crew. Will definitely do another Sail Croatia bike & boat in the next couple of years.
- Ann, 26/06/2026 06:34, Travelled with Family
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
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!
- Ella, 22/06/2026 14:45, Travelled with Family
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted your Cycle Croatia cruise onboard Dionis was such an unforgettable experience. It’s fantastic to hear how well Ivan and Lucy looked after everyone, and we’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to them!

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.

Dietary needs were met. Boat was comfortable- and just the right size. Crew were helpful and friendly - especailly Ella! What an extraordinary cycling experience! Beautiful way to see parts of Croatia we never would have seen on our own. Thank you!

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. Croatia truly is a beautiful destination for cycling, and we're pleased that these aspects of your holiday left a positive impression. We appreciate your comments regarding the route grading. 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. Regarding the cabin issue, our understanding was that the concern related to the shower hook in your bathroom. This was addressed during the scheduled cabin service and we apologise for any inconvenience caused in the meantime. 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. Thank you again for travelling with us and for sharing your thoughts.
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.

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!

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.🇭🇷

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!!

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.

Just wonderful! Fell in love with Croatia ! Just the absolute best crew, they are all so nice and welcoming. Ivica and sasa (ride wizards) are so caring and patient. You are so safe with them. Very good sense of humor too! They never make you feel bad if you are on the slow side The cook feeds you his great food as if there is no tomorrow. Amazing how the boat and bike tires sustained all the food! Captain got us safely everywhere
- Nina, 26/05/2026 18:12, Travelled with Family
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.
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 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!

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.

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.

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! Croatia definitely stole my heart!
- Pam, 04/05/2026 12:40, Travelled with Family
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.

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 !!!

It was a great trip. Food was great, scenery, bikes were comfortable. Weather was fantastic for 6 out of the 7days Confirm your checkout time before you make your travel plans after your cruise. We understood checkout was 10am, therefore booked our bus to Dubrovnik for 1230pm then were told checkout was 8am. Cost us extra money for late rescheduling of our bus times to an earlier time. Our only complaint though

Thank you for the 5-star review - we’re so glad you enjoyed the trip, food, scenery, and bikes! Our check-out time (8–9am) is outlined at the top of our FAQs, and it’s possible this may have been confused with our check-in time from 10:30am. We appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back onboard in the future!
We loved our time on board the Mali Ante. The crew and tour guides were very nice, helpful and fun to be around. The food was great. The excursions to the different islands were amazing. The islands are so beautiful. We loved everyone of them. The cycling was perfect for all of us - from beginner to advanced - we all handled it well. This is definitely the best of Croatia.

The trip was very well organized. We were updated daily on how the day would go and than also sent all the info on Whatsapp. Everything was above and beyond my expectations even though we had to change plans a few times. 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. She was always making sure everyone was doing ok and she was great to hang with the group and get to know everyone. This was a trip i won’t forget and i will definitely be recommending to friends.

We had an excellent time on our 7 day Dubrovnik to Split bike tour. J and Anna, our bike guides, were kind, friendly, and helpful. Safety was always a priority on our rides. We had a few spicy weather days and J made accommodations to ensure both fun and safety. The servers on board were always cheerful and ready to please! Overall, our group of 4, had a great time and would recommend this tour.

This was a wonderful balance of exercise, educational experiences and relaxation. The guides were wonderful with providing an experience that was enjoyed by all and were able to adapt to the changing weather conditions and keep us informed. Our 14 year old enjoyed the trip too. The ride was harder than what we expected, but we enjoyed the challenge of the hills and there was an option to upgrade to the E-bike.
- Kim, 06/10/2025 11:31, Travelled with Family
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.
- Charlene, 29/09/2025 12:51, Travelled with Family
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.
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.

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
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.

Loved the experience - beautiful scenery and weather - a great way to see many little towns in various islands, the right amount of biking and relaxing time and our guides Marin and Josip were friendly, patient, helpful and knowledgeable.

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! Sandra B

We visited some amazing places around Croatia on the sail cycle cruise! Everything was perfect! From delicious meals, great service and perfect coordination of bikes on and off the boat. The guides were truely outstanding and informative. They were flexible and accommodated to everyone’s needs. They were fun, easy going and became our good friends! Thank you again for a fabulous trip that we will always remember!

They were very personal and I love that Sasa touched my shoulder with care when he spoke to me. Such kind mannerisms.. They were really informative and fun. I’m going to go for 2027 and I want them to be my leaders!

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
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
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.

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
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.

The bikes, guides and staff were all great. The only hassle was finding which way to go at the bus station on arrival but apparently from that everything else was smooth sailing
- Val, 04/07/2025 06:14, Travelled with Family
The crewmates and tour guides were wonderful always being very nice. Everyone on the islands we went to already respected them. They gave off the coil camp counselor energy allowing kids to be kids and still do fun stuff while also keeping everyone safe.

Sail/Bike Croatia exceeded all my expectations. My cabin on deck level was perfect - the food was plentiful and delicious. Every day of the bike riding was varied -pleasurable and challenging.. Wow, what a fabulous group of new friends made x
- Wendy, 17/06/2025 13:55, Travelled with Family
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.
- Anne, 13/06/2025 19:51, Travelled with Family
I enjoyed the daily activity and tha ability to immerse yourself in the Croatian culture. The people are very friendly and accommodating.

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.
- Files , 11/06/2025 19:06, Travelled with Family
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!
- Kim, 11/06/2025 17:33, Travelled with Family
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
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!
- Lori, 04/06/2025 14:13, Travelled with Family
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
The tour hosts (Lola and Tonka) and ship’s crew were fantastic! We were fortunate to be traveling with a great group of people and had a fabulous time. The chef did a great job on the meals and the boat had nice touches such as hairdryers in each room.

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.

- Krista, 14/05/2025 11:11, Travelled with Family
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.
- Marion, 12/05/2025 10:51, Travelled with Family
Hi Marion, thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you found our guides exemplary - their passion and professionalism are something we’re proud of. Regarding your concern about the group size, we understand that safety is a top priority, and it is for us also. That’s why we always ensure there are two experienced guides on each ride – one leading at the front and one supporting at the back – to manage the group effectively and maintain safety throughout the journey. We appreciate your suggestions about complimentary refreshments and branded water bottles. These are great ideas, and we’re always looking for ways to enhance our guests’ experience, so your input has been noted for future planning. Thank you again for riding with us – we value your insights and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon.
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.

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.

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.

The itinerary, staff, accommodation and food were all great. The staff were very helpful and accommodating my gluten free diet. Visiting 4 islands was great. The option to have ebikes was good - especially in the heat. The organising of the sailing, where we stopped and the routes we covered on the bikes - were all very well planned out and explained to us every day in detail. The staff were very friendly. Had a fab holiday. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia
- HEATHER, 02/09/2024 10:38, Travelled with Family
From a click on google to a fabulous experience. Combining cycling with a cruise gives you the best of both. Explore the islands on bicycles allows you to see so much more of what a Croatia has to offer. The vessel, guides, crew and food were all excellent
- Kitty, 02/09/2024 08:12, Travelled with Family
We are usually very independent travelers. It was wonderful to have someone else do all the planning! It was a perfect way to vacation, meet other travelers, and enjoy everyday. Karolina & Ilona are the dynamic duo! A+ and a gold star!

This was our first cycling trip and everything went smoothly. The ship was clean, the crew professional, and the bikes were excellent Our guides were outstanding. Mila and Marija were not just cycling guides but historians and helpful in every way. We were a group of 32 older folks, 50+ in age and they were able educate us, motivate us when we saw those big hills and narrow winding roads. They offered good suggestions for cafes, little known pieces of information about the villages and kept us all happy and safe. Highly recommend this route too as we got to see the most amazing scenery along the coast.
- Geramy, 24/06/2024 05:51, Travelled with Family
Croatia is beautiful,, the guides were great and the boat was very clean. Food was good and there’s plenty of it!! Don’t be put off by the slightly cheaper rooms below deck. They have better sound proofing as some of the ports can be quite noisy.. There was a concert one night on the pier and I didn’t hear it in my cabin. Pack light as there’s not much storage. The cabins below deck could benefit from some extra hooks and shelves. A fantastic trip overall.
- Lesley , 10/06/2024 07:56, Travelled with Family

Our Boat, Emanuel, was a top notch boat. It is an older boat that was beautifully restored and had a great crew and Captain. I loved that it was a family run boat and there was a lot of pride in taking are of it. Emanuel was spotless, had a hard working, friendly crew and timely wonderful meals. Our guides were spectacular and very attentive. I loved riding my e-bike daily through the beautiful islands of the Adriatic Sea. Our guide was very clear each day about the length and difficulty of the rides. I felt so comfortable that it was hard to leave. All in all, it was one of my favorite trips. Thank you Emanual!!
- Adrienne, 27/05/2024 15:40, Travelled with Family
The daily cycling routes through the beautiful Croatian islands and countrysides were incredible. Sailing to each island was a relaxing and wonderful experience. Our guides Karolina and Mila worked well with each other.. Karolina outlined our day efficiently and handled any issues or changes in the schedule with a sense of calmness and grace. Mila was passionate about sharing her wealth of information with the group. She has motivated me to research more about Croatia’s history when I get home. The crew on the boat were attentive and kept us comfortable and safe. Thank you SailCroatia for a memorable trip with our siblings.

It was a beautiful experience in many ways: so many incredible views of turquoise water, olive orchards and terracotta villages... rewarding and well-planned cycle routes... lovely company along the way... delicious meals... and our comfortable boat home for the week. The full team hosting us was so well organised and friendly. I have no complaints and only a big smile when I think back on the experience.

This was a trip of a live time! I selected this trip to celebrate my 60th birthday because I love to cycle. There were a couple of challenging rides with stunning views, so I'm glad I selected an e-bike. The crew and staff were outstanding. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. This was a great way to experience Croatia.
- Anonymous, 07/05/2024 13:05, Travelled with Family
seeing all the beautiful sights of Croatia was amazing and the ebike made it all possible. I would have loved a little book/hand out of our bike paths and information about the culture in each area-It's not easy to remember everything the guides tell us. The room did smell a bit which was unpleasant and I wish we could've opened the windows. I wish we had more leisure time to explore the little towns. I loved the free coffee drinks on board and the staff was great. Loved having this experience staying on a beautiful boat- thank you!
- Anonymous, 04/05/2024 13:27, Travelled with Family
Hi there, thank you for your 4-star review. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to hear that you had an amazing time seeing Croatia's beautiful sights, the E-Bikes are certainly a great addition to a Cycle Cruise! Thank you for the feedback. At times if there is bad weather, smell can occur in the bathroom emitting from the shower drains. This is due to the movement of the ships on the water whereby this movement opens up airflow at the back of the pipe and into the bathroom. This is addressed in the Welcome Speech by the Sail Croatia Representative on board. Thank you for the kind words for the staff on-board, we will be sure to pass this on, and we hope to welcome you on-board again in the future.
My husband, siblings and I went on a sailing biking cruise to celebrate. We all bike ride at different riding abilities, and, prior to the trip, some of us were wondering about whether or not we could keep up with our fittest siblings and their spouses. Happy to say that with the option of riding the e-bikes, we all did well! Having a bike ride every day kept me feeling healthy during my vacation. The ship food was good, their coffee, excellent, and I liked not having to spend an additional 30 Euros to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch each day. During the cocktail and dinner hour, we were able to explore the villages and try the local food which was delicious! In terms of learning about a new part of the world, I had never considered visiting a country by bike. After riding through the small Croatian villages and mountains and having leisure time to explore the port towns and cities, I feel I know Croatia more intimately than I do other places I have visited!
- BJ, 01/05/2024 15:20, Travelled with Family
We loved the boat and the travel guides on our trip to Croatia. Our itinerary was well planned, and our cycling guides were experienced and have been doing this for many years. The kitchen catered to our dietary requirements, vegetarian and vegan. Thankyou Sam Croatia team

Cycling over the islands and sailing between is an incredible way to experience the unique and stunning beauty of such a fascinating country. From the guides, to the boat, to the food and the cycling routes, this tour was spectacular!

Beautiful biking routes through historic villages, olive groves, and pastural hillsides, to amazing viewpoints. Gorgeous views of the Adriatic Sea with its azure blue water, cliffs, and sea life. Lovely beaches, cafes, art exhibitions, wine tasing, and amazing meals both onboard, and in the towns. Outstanding service from the crew, the guides, and the island hosts. The comraderie of the cyclists was a highlight. So much fun! Probably one of our best holidays ever.
- Janice, 29/04/2024 20:47, Travelled with Family
When you travel and are doing rigorous exercise everyday in the heat more than a two towel per week seems necessary. Also the towels were all very old. The bedding needs more frequent changing. The bike ride difficulty needs more specific disclosure. Three hours in the saddle is a long time. Provide beach towels, more fresh vegetables. Also snacks for long hard rides, the riders without e bikes could have used it.
- Jayne, 25/09/2023 01:15, Travelled with Family
Hi Jayne, Thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us this summer. We are so pleased to hear you found our guides to be wonderful! Thank you for your further feedback which has been passed on to the relevant departments. All information regarding the itinerary and level of difficulty each day can be found on our website and is available before making the selection and booking. Our experienced sales consultants are also available for any questions that may arise during the booking process and assist with making informed decisions. Thank you so much for joining us!
The beauty of the Croatian islands and the extreme clarity of the surrounding waters are well-known. What made this holiday so outstanding was the easy access it provided to all this beauty. We were taken to such perfect locations, enabled to swim in the stunning blue depths of the open sea, handed great bikes to explore with and guided to all the ‘best bits’. Our bike guide Marin was extraordinarily knowledgeable and passionate about the history and environment and the sail Croatia agent Lola was competent, calm and friendly, My only wish would be for a similar experience to be available for solo travellers.
- Miranda, 18/09/2023 05:43, Travelled with Family
We had a great week with Lola and Marin on the lovely boat Emmanuel. The whole crew was so helpful and patient, the bike rides were safe and well organized, and the scenery was out of this world. Meals were well made, even for my vegetarian requests. Would highly recommend Sail Croatia snd the Emmanuel crew!

I should have ridden on an e-bike instead, even though I ride a bike regularly I was not prepared for the challenge of riding the climbs. The guides were extremely supportive and patient with me on this trip. The islands were great to explore on a bike ride, as the scenery was amazing and varied from day to day.

We did the cycle cruise last year and really enjoyed it, so we booked again for this year. I didn't think there was much to improve on but I was wrong. The boat, the food, the crew and especially our guides Nina & Marin were amazing. I can't praise them enough, hugely knowledgeable and all round lovely people. We had a great group of fellow travellers including the lovely ladies we met last year on our boat. Lots of fun was had by all. Thank you Sail Croatia, We will certainly be joining you again.

We had a great time cycling the Dalmatian Islands with the Mali Ante crew. Our guides Mila and Miranda provided great historical information about the towns and were very fun to ride with. The onboard crew was wonderful as well, taking care of our rooms and providing great food. We even got them to dance with us on the night of Captain's dinner. The only recommendation I have is to consider an eBike. I'm a cyclist at home, but was happy to have an eBike to get over those beautiful (but steep!) hills.

Our week aboard the Milena & cycling around several different islands was the best way to explore Croatia. From Split to Dubrovnik, we visited the most charming coastal villages, got a taste of life in each area, and had a great time cycling each day. Our guides Ivan and Lola, along with the crew were welcoming and fun. They met every request and were great traveling companions! As so many of your customers have said: Best Week Ever!!!
- Melissa, 14/06/2023 11:06, Travelled with Family
This trip was fantastic. Neither of us had ever been on a boat overnight, and it was my first cycle trip ever but it was such a positive, safe, enjoyable experience. The cabins were charming and had their own bathrooms, which made our stay on the boat very relaxing and easy. The cycle trips, lunch and dinner outings on the islands we so well-organized by our lovely guides Ivan and Lola. They made reservations for activities and did a wonderful job of directing us as we cycled through all the beautiful little towns we visited. Socially it was also a great experience. Our group got along great, and it was friendly to solo travelers who mingled easily amongst the couples and friend groups on the boat. The crew are extremely polite and hardworking. These young men are hoisting heavy e-bikes on and off the boat, serving food, pouring drinks, shuffling the boat in an out of port as the harbor master requires. I was blown away by their work ethic. My only comment for improvement was the food.
- Emily, 14/06/2023 06:10, Travelled with Family
The guides and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The bikes were comfortable and ran smoothly.The only complaint was the lunch which at times the protein was over cooked.
- Barbara, 25/05/2023 09:26, Travelled with Family
This was my 3rd trip with sail Croatia. Split-Dubrovnik. It did not disappoint Travelled with family & friend. After some minor issue at booking with cabin allocation. Swiftly sorted. Despite the bad weather for early part of the week we had a great time. The itinary was changed slightly due to weather conditions & guest safety. Marin & Ivan did their very best to ensure alternative sight seeing trips were available to accommodate this. The cycling was challenging enough for those on hybrid bikes. Captain & crew really friendly. Boat was clean. Food plentiful. If there was anything I would change.. please maybe longer circular cycling routes rather than there & back.. we were a larger group of 30 but safety was second to none. A massive thank you to Marin & Ivan for their friendliness, and showing us some stunning places. And providing us with great laughs. WE made some lovely friends and great memories. Would highly recommend sail Croatia 🙂

The staff, leaders,cooks, waiters ,captain. They were all so helpful friendly and fun to be with. The cabins were gorgeous. The ship is beautiful. We had dreadful weather for a few days which curtailed our itinerary, but the leaders Nina and Ivitse made sure we could get out and enjoy the rides and see the interesting parts of the islands. They put so much of themselves and their energy into the whole trip and made it the most amazing experience. The group completely gelled and we had so much fun and a memorable week. Well be back 👋😍👌

Thank you for your 5 star review Bridget - it was great to have you join us and that you had such a fantastic time. Thank you.
My husband and brother and sister in law and myself spent a lovely week on board the Emanuel cycling some of the islands of Croatia. The staff was outstanding, food delicious, company perfect, cycling routes fun and we met wonderful folks while on board. The weather varied from some rain, wind and beautiful sun but it did not stop us from anything ( although we did not go to an outer island for safety reasons) I would highly recommend this trip to all. Thanks very much to the crew of the Emanuel - the ship was fantastic also!

The E-bikes were the game changer. It allowed me to ride alongside my super fit spouse and both meet our vacation needs. I could totally enjoy the country side without stress and he could challenge himself with the 10% grades.

the attitude of the staff on board. They were subtly helpful and obliging. We felt safe & confident in their care.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, food was good, schedule was good and on time. Cabins were clean, boat was clean. Water was readily available. Ivica and Hrojve were amazing guides. Very informative, fun, adventurous, took us on side trips if we wanted.

If you are even considering this sail/cycle cruise do not hesitate. One of the best vacations our family of 3 has ever taken! An amazing way to experience Croatia up close and personal. Andre and Marija our guides were professional, very personable and worked incredibly hard to keep everyone happy. Along the way we went wine tasting, visited a local bee keeper, found hidden beaches for swimming, coffee breaks at seaside cafes, a group dinner at a local restaurant, off the path historical sites like Tito's underground tunnels, a national park and so much more. The boat itself, the Milena, was run well by captain Ivan and small crew. Our bartender Antonio was AMAZING as we were served well priced drinks that were individually prepared for us throughout our trip. European style breakfast buffet with many choices and multi-course Croatian style (very Mediterranean) lunches that were prepared with local seafood and meat that left us stuffed every day! Thank you Sail Croatia!

We've waited for this holiday for 3 years and was well worth the wait. We travelled with 2 teenagers and they both want to do it again. The crew were great and we couldn't have asked for 2 more lovely girls, Dora & Julie as our hosts. They were a lot of fun, very knowledgeable and were always on hand for us. Cycling is definitely the way to see this beautiful coastline. Visiting different islands, with a variety of different level rides. We chose E bikes which I was very relieved about when I saw some of the hills we had to climb. We loved the swim stops, but wish there'd been more. I don't really want to write anything negative as this holiday was fantastic. But, there are a couple. The food on board was quite basic and poor for vegetarians. The only protein for my veggie daughter was at breakfast (eggs & cheese) but there was no protein in any lunch or dinner for her. The cleanliness & maintenance of the cabins could be improved & need larger towels. Still fab & booking for 2023 x

This is a wonderful way to combine cycling, exploring and sailing in one holiday … and definitely exceeded our expectations! We did the cycle cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, with about 3-4 hours cycling each day, a chance to relax in the afternoons and then the opportunity to explore every time we docked. We loved walking around the little villages and small ports. There were 20 on the cycle cruise, including singles, couples and our family of 4. Then there was the crew of 5 and of course the amazing Vania & Nina, our delightful guides who went out of their way to make everything smooth, safe and fun!! The bikes were great, with about 10 people on regular bikes (27 gears) & 10 on e-bikes. Breakfasts included fruit, vegetables, eggs, bacon, cheeses and bread. The 3-course lunch was tasty and very welcome after a morning of cycling. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful cycle cruise. You will return feeling healthy, refreshed and with new friends !

- Robyn , 02/08/2022 05:04, Travelled with Family
Hi Robyn, thank you for your 5 star review.
Great trek leaders - great boat (Afrodita) - great crew - great guests! We were hoping there would be other families with older teens to be with, but there were no age barriers here: the other guests welcomed our kids and they responded with maturity! The cycling was challenging without e-bikes in the extreme heat but everyone was accommodating and encouraging. We swam off the boat a couple of times and found beaches every day which was brilliant. The ship was great- but shade on the sun deck would have made it more useful, as it was too hot to go up there at all. I was surprised that there was no cleaning of bathrooms all week, and no change of towels offered, but the food was abundant and amazing. A drink with main meals (even water!) would have been appreciated. Overall, a wonderful week.

Start to finish the trip was everything we could have asked for. -amazing tour guide -good food -daily swim stops -unbelievable views -down time to explore on your own We would recommend this trip to anyone looking to see Croatia.

Rosemary - thank you so much for such an awesome review! We loved having you join us this season in Croatia and we hope to see you join us again soon. Thank you!
The beautiful islands in Croatia were spectacular and the staff on board were always kind, helpful and accommodating to everyone! I highly recommend this cruise.

Hi Tricia, Thank you for the amazing 5 star review! We are so glad to hear you had a great time on-board. It makes us so proud to know you'd recommend us. Your kind words will be passed along to the team on-board. Thanks again, and we hope to see you again soon!
Great way to see the islands, and thoroughly recommend cycling despite the heat. Visited villages we would never have seen. Great guide, the boat was comfortable and really fun group of people
- Anonymous, 16/08/2021 12:14, Travelled with Family
Every aspect of our holiday was fabulous. The boat was very comfortable. Staff professional and caring, food delicious and bikes were perfect. Our safety on the roads was a high priority. Special mention needs to be made of our guides Ivana Skaro, Ejo Vrh and Kristijan Stunkovic. Their knowledge of the islands was excellent. We highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- CATHY , 12/10/2019 13:51, Travelled with Family
Hi Cathy, thanks so much for your kind comments! We are thrilled to hear about your wonderful experience on board your cycle cruise :) Customer safety is one of our highest priorities along with customer satisfaction, so we are really pleased that you felt safe on the roads with Ivana, Ejo and Kristijan. It's always satisfying to hear positives about the ship and the food as the crew work really hard to achieve the high standards they have! We would love to have you back on board again in the future, so please don't hesitate to get back in touch. Thanks again Cathy!
It was a fantastic experience and a great way of seeing such a beautiful country. The boat had surprisingly spacious cabins, good food and all the staff were so friendly. The guides were very knowledgeable and took us on some very varied (challenging at times on a few hills on a regular bike!) and scenic rides. Having the option of an ebike makes it accessible to everyone so if you have a partner or friend who isn't a keen cyclist or particularly fit you can still enjoy a fabulous holiday together. It has definitely given me the bug to do it again.
- Victoria, 08/10/2019 10:00, Travelled with Family
Hi Victoria. Thank you for your review! We are pleased to read you enjoyed your time on board Almissa with us this season. We have to agree, it really is a great way to explore Croatia - such a beautiful country. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you join us again soon :)
Exceeded our expectations. What a glorious way to see and experience this beautiful country. The guides were amazing and the boat was a pleasant surprise with our own ensuite facilities. Wonderful buffet breakfast and a three course meal at lunch was not only tasty but beautifully presented. My only criticism were the ebikes. I have used ebikes before but these were 'city' bikes and were not adequate for the terrain. No suspension with very small wheels. Huge disappointment. Hopefully this can be corrected for future travellers. I would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday to young and old. Such amazing memories. Thank you to the guides and the staff on board for their hard work, especially lifting the bikes up and down daily.
- Nicola, 02/10/2019 12:38, Travelled with Family
Hi Nicola, Thanks for the 5-star rating! We are really pleased to hear you enjoyed all aspects of the cruise! Thank you for your comments on our E-bikes, these bikes are suitable for all terrain and are built to a very high standard, so we're sorry to hear you were disappointed with these. We are glad that ultimately you enjoyed your time in Croatia and onboard our cruise. Thank you for recommending us to others, it was our pleasure to provide you with amazing memories and we thank you for your lovely comments.
The boat was spacious and the rooms small but neat and clean. The trip started with a delicious lunch and an introduction to the team. All the staff were very friendly, Ivana was very knowledgeable able the local area, and H the cycle guide was great too. Every port and island we visited was beautiful and all so different, the chance to cycle inland or on coastal routes as well as a chance to walk round some of the ports and cities made it a very special trip. We met interesting people on the trip and the team helps us by organising the right amount of joint meals but also time to spend with our families and friends. I will definitely be coming back on another sail Croatia holiday.
- Karen, 02/09/2019 16:58, Travelled with Family
Thanks so much for joining us this season. We are pleased to hear you liked your accommodation on board Magellan and that you had an excellent holiday for your Cycle cruise! I will be sure to pass your kind words onto the team and give the chefs compliments from you for the delicious meals. Croatia really is such a beautiful country to explore, it's wonderful that you also enjoyed it. We do look forward to seeing you join us again in the future.
The week that I spent on Milena was one of the most rewarding weeks of my life. The routes that we cycled were sometimes challenging but the scenery was always beautiful. Every single crew member on board did their work brilliantly and constantly went the extra mile to give us the best opportunities to learn more about Croatia and to make us feel at home. I am extremely grateful for the unforgettable memories that were made. Thank you !

Hello, thank you so much for your 5 star review of your cruise on board Milena! It's incredible to hear your week on board was rewarding and memorable. It's great you also enjoyed the scenery of Croatia - I hope the beautiful sites made those more challenging cycles worth it for you. Thank you for joining us this season!
Crew and guides were gracious, enthusiastic and fun! The ship was far too warm which made sleep difficult though.
- Tawnne, 17/06/2019 07:18, Travelled with Family
Thanks for the 5* rating. We agree - the crew and guides are simply amazing. Just to clarify for other travellers considering booking with us, we generally have 2 ship options on our Cycle cruises; Ensuite and Premier, and I see that you booked our Ensuite ship which excludes air-conditioning. We would definitely recommend next time booking a Premier ship, to ensure that you aren't too warm and are nice and comfortable :-). Thank you.
The guides were experienced with this type of holiday and provided everything we needed for a great holiday. Everyone on the holiday was fun to be with and we all joined in the activities. Loved the ebikes too!
- Leonie, 13/05/2019 07:16, Travelled with Family
Thanks for your review! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your Cycle cruise with experienced guides and a fun group of fellow travellers. The E-bikes are just great aren't they! Thanks again.
We were a group of 6 people, all in the same family. We have a positive attitude to life and met some great people on board, both passengers, crew and guides. This is the best trip I've had for a long time because all people on board were so great, we all wanted to have a good time. I loved the crew for bringing everybody safely around the lovely country, giving us delicious food and be very service minded. I loved the guides, firstly for their positive attitude and secondly for giving us fantastic trips and great memories. I loved spending time on a comfortable bicycle together with people from all over the world, getting to know interesting people. I can recommend this trip to all of you who want an active holiday with time to relax as well, on a boat with the worlds best crew and guides :0)))))))

Stayed on milena for cycle North cruise. Great crew tour guides. other passengers were like minded and Had fun together. Stunning scenery lovely people of croatia! Will definitely go again to croatia, cycle, and with sail Croatia. Holiday was well organised. Had a blast!

3 siblings& spouses on the northern cycle route & first time in Croatia. The crew & 2 tour guides were excellent. Seeing the country from the sea & cycling through it was a wonderful experience. As a family we had a ball Hvala
- Carol, 25/09/2018 06:12, Travelled with Family
Our guides, Ana and Zwone, were fantastic, with Ana always ready with an interesting story or piece of hisyhistory about a place we were about to visit. Dino, our barman, was a delight, injecting fun and joining in some of our cosmopolitan group's evening festivities. The cycle rides were more than we expected with a great balance of challenging options and easier ones- but each going through fantastic terrain and sometimes with a swim stop thrown in. The organisation of the trip was excellent with enough flexibility that the crew could meet requests for swimstops off the boat. A highlight was the overnight moored off Mljet where some of us took a night swim. We had a great crowd of fellow passengers from 6 different countries who all got on well. As the week progressed, so did the festive atmosphere on board with singalongs and dance parties making for great evenings. This trip proved to be more than we had expected in almost every way.
- Michael Bennet , 09/07/2018 03:01, Travelled with Family
This has been one of my best holidays ever! The tour was very well organized, the crew were amazing and the food was outstanding. Incredible how the chef made such outstanding food in such a small kitchen. The boat was clean and the cabins were not small at all. The itinerary was great and well planned and we got to see all the beautiful islands by bike and explore the towns in the evening. Croatia - what a beautiful country and the people are so friendly!! I would suggest that if people have not riden a bike for a few months or feel a bit unfit - to rather hire an E-Bike, This makes the whole experience more enjoyable and also avoids the fast people always waiting for the slow people. Great holiday and highly recommend it!!

Thank you for your review. Tea & Coffee availability is something we are currently looking into for future seasons. Thank you for your suggestion of more hanging space and pegs, this will be passed on to the Operations Team for potential future improvements. Thank you.
This trip was amazing. Our guides, Miranda and Anna could not have been better. I'm very impressed with how well they both speak English. They are knowledgable guides who want to make this a great experience for everyone! They kept the group well informed with daily briefings and, on occasion, informing us of changing plans, due to weather.

Enjoyed the beautiful Islands and environment. Stunning part of the world and it was so special to have this opportunity. Great crew and a wonderful bunch of friendly people. The bikes were fabulous and well cared for. We were well fed 2 meals per day. Beds were comfortable and it was nice to have an en suite.
- Margaret , 21/09/2017 15:53, Travelled with Family
The bikes were a good quality and well maintained and the e-bikes were perfect for the kids. The guides were very experienced, cheerful and always helpful. Cabins were hot in the middle of the heat wave and the ports noisy, but regardless we had a great family adventure!

Thanks for a phantastic cruise. Our guides Miranda and Llubo were so friendly and helpful. The staff on board of beatiful ship Milena took care of us and served tasteful food. We enjoyed the challenging bike rides and views, and had a great time practising English with nice passengers from several countries. Swedish family

It was a well organised trip with very good guides who did everything to help. For future trips I would suggest to let it be an option to reserve rooms with air condition. It was almost impossible to sleep in the cabins without having the door open all night and even though it was very hot. When you have been riding a bike all day long a cold cabin would have been appreciated😊
- Jette, 03/07/2017 11:30, Travelled with Family
The cruise was great . The guides, ana,Miranda and Hugo really looked after us . The food was really good and the crew were really helpful. The only thing that let it down was the company themselves, sail Croatia. We had an issue on the boat and they could have handled it better and supported their guides. Especially for a company with so much experience. Shame really. Otherwise a fantastic cruise.
- Lynn, 03/07/2017 04:50, Travelled with Family
I just have to say that my husband and I both thought the trip with Sail Croatia was one of the best trips and vacations we have ever had. It was hard to see it end. Thank you for the excellent bikes, food, guides, crew, boating, and all the careful planning that your company must surely put in to make the trips go so smoothly and successfully.
