Sailing from Dubrovnik to split

The whole trip with Sail Croatia was excellent. All the conditions were good and food was excellent. The best part was all biking together with the two guides. They made us a cohesive group. Didn’t take long for 25 strangers to get to know one another

Beautiful Croatia

Loved the crew and our guides. The food was amazing and the biking was fun and the locations beautiful. It was such a great trip. Would do it again.

Fantastic trip!

This was one of my all time favorite trips! The crew of the Mali Ante was amazing and went out of their way to make it memorable. A special thanks to Tonka and Sonja for the amazing bike rides, to Chef Ivaca for the fabulous food and the remaining crew that kept everything running smoothly. We highly recommend this trip!!

Fun time with friends!

We booked a cycle 7 day tour with Sail Croatia and it was fantastic! The crew and tour managers were incredibly nice, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. The locations we sailed to absolutely beautiful. Seeing the Islands on a bike is definitely the way to go go... they were somewhat challenging, but mostly on smaller roads so not too much road traffic. A few areas were a little more difficult, but they always had a guide at the back of the line to ensure the "slower" riders were taken care of .

Delightful time onboard and exploring

We were thrilled with our trip! The crew set a welcoming stage as we boarded. Everything was clean and so welcoming. Our guides Tonka and Sonja were so fun to be around and explore with! Thank you! Thank you! The chef was caring, had amazing food and loved to share his kind spirit. Captain was knowledgeable and approachable. He was quick with a smile and found the best swimming spots! The service and support were impeccable. I would suggest the Mali Ante to anyone who’s looking for fun, exploring, history and a delightful voyage.

The Ohio 5

My friends and I booked the SailCroatia trip together and we had the best time. We loved the early morning coffee and quiet time above deck each morning to begin our days. Our daily bike rides through quaint little villages were definitely the highlights of the trip. We always had time to look around and enjoy a delicious iced coffee. Our guides took our safety seriously and always made sure we were comfortable and confident while riding. Spending time in the cities where we docked nightly was also a blast. Our guides provided information on local favorites and arranged private tours to wineries and family dinners. These experiences were awesome and allowed us a look into the daily lives of the people we met along the way. I highly recommend the sailing/biking cruises.

Cruise in Croatia – A Dream Vacation Come True

I recently returned from a cruise in Croatia. From start to finish, it was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and jaw-dropping beauty. Scenery: Absolutely stunning. The Coast is everything you’d imagine—crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, charming old towns, and lush green islands. Staff: The crew was incredible—friendly, professional, and always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Food: Delicious! Every meal was a treat, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a variety of options. From fresh seafood to Croatian specialties, everything was beautifully prepared. There was always something new to look forward to, and they catered well to dietary needs, too. Activities: One of the highlights for me was e-biking around the different islands. It was such a fun and effortless way to explore off-the-beaten-path villages, vineyards, and scenic coastal roads. All in all, this Croatian cruise exceeded my expectations in every way.

Spectacular

Such a fun , relaxing , good food , great staff ! Well organized trips. The e-bikes had enough power to climb the steep hills. The small quaint towns on the islands were friendly with amazing food.

A wonderful time we had!

Loved every aspect of this cycling vacation abord the Emanuel boat: a well coordinated, helpful and energetic crew, comfortable and well maintained boat/amenities, delicious meals, a well planned itinerary, and amazing Ebikes! We were lucky to have the perfect weather all week for cycling and visiting, and had the friendliest group of travellers on board! Croatia is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. Hoping to return in a near future. Thanks to the Sail Croatia team for making this trip a memorable one!

Mrs.

Our guides, Martin and Miranda, were fantastic! They were skilled cyclists, very knowledgeable about the area and the history, and very patient with our group too. We would love to go on another cycle and sail trip with them again. The crew on the ship were fantastic too and made us feel right at home. It was an outstanding experience!

Cycling Sail Croatia

Our tour directors Miranda and Martin made this a most enjoyable trip. They were patient, informative, and prioritized safety when cycling. The group on the trip was so nice and the food was really good. The islands we visited in Croatia from the return south to split were stunning. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to see Croatia in a unique way while simultaneously getting some exercise.

Split to Dubrovnik southern return

The people. The ship was great, the tours were amazing, and the food was above and beyond. But the crew on our ship were so incredibly accommodating or and friendly we just did not want to leave. More than anything else, our guides for our bike trips were the best!!!! Each day was better than the previous and these gals knew how to get us from point A to point B seamlessly and with expertise!

An amazing holiday

The quality of the ship, crew, itinerary and food, as well as our fellow passengers. It is a great way to travel and see a country in all its glory.

- Beverley , 18/06/2025 14:09, Travelled with Friend/s

Winning Formula

Every aspect of the holiday was fantastic. The cycling routes were great, the choice of locations on the islands lovely. The quality of the bikes very good. The boat was beautifully maintained, the crew friendly and efficient and the quality of food very high. It was very much appreciated that we did not have to move our bikes from the boat onto the quayside. The two guides Dora and Sanya were outstanding, professional throughout, flexible to accommodate changing needs within the group, knowledgeable and always high energy and smiling!

Perfect Mix of Adventure & Relaxation

This was my first time doing a trip of this type, and I’m hooked. I only hope that my future trips will compare to how well Sail Croatia did. From the quality of food while on the boat to its staff to the wonderful tour guides, there was nothing to complain about! This all fostered an environment where you genuinely got to know the others on the trip with you, and became fast friends. It was a sad event when the trip was over and we all had to go out separate ways.

A great holiday experience

The cruise ship was lovely and is very well maintained by the Captain and crew. We were made to feel very welcome by both the Sail Croatia guides, Dora and Sanja, and all the crew of the ship Emanuel Everyone looked after us incredibly well and the guides were fun, energetic and very helpful. Going with a group of friends was great fun but we all bonded well with the other passengers on the trip and the dynamic was positive and very friendly. It felt like one big , happy family. I would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again. Some of the hills are quite steep for cycling even though the distances are not huge (Split to Dubrovnik). On a normal bike the hills were sometimes challenging in the heat. We travelled in early June and the sun was already hot. The islands are lovely and the views from the top of the hills, once you reach the top are beautiful. It was a great holiday.

What a phenomenal experience!!

This was my first international trip, and the sail/cycle experience exceeded every expectation in every way. I don’t have much to compare it to, but Sail Croatia seems to have perfected their operations in such a way as to give each traveler the best experience possible. First, the Mali Ante was a wonderful vessel…clean and comfortable. From there it just gets better. The crew…seriously I wish I could have brought them all home with me. They were PHENOMENAL. The chef and his staff provided wonderful culinary delights, and were so accommodating with dietary issues. Amazing. The crew managing the galley and bar….OUTSTANDING! I adored them all. The best part…our cycle guides Miranda and Tonka…they were just amazing. I hadn’t been on a bike in over 10 years, and had little experience compared to the others in the group…and they were so helpful and supportive. The rides were challenging for me, but the support was amazing. I have no idea how I will top this experience. 🫶🏼🇭🇷🫶🏼

Great sail / cycle trip

Absolutely fabulous!

1. Sanja and Dora were Fantastic! They made an amazing team. They were both very engaged with we clients, very animated, very thoughtful and knowledgeable. They both clearly love their job and enjoy working with each other,, which adds to the experience. 2. The captain and crew of the Emanuel - also Fantastic. They were very attentive to our needs. They were also very engaging and enjoyable to talk with. 3. This was a total luck of the draw, but the other passengers we traveled with really made the whole trip amazingly enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed everyone else and there was no drama! Overall a wonderful trip which we will repeat!!

Fabulous Crew.

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

The kind of holiday that dreams are made of.

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

Trip of a lifetime!

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

Brilliant group cycling&sailing holiday!

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

Go with Sail Croatia Cycle trip

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

- Denise, 12/06/2025 22:49, Travelled with Friend/s

It was excellent

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

Another magic trip

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

Beautiful tour

This tour is a great blend of cruising and riding. The guides, Miranda and Ana, were attentive to a fault, doing their best to keep everyone happy., as were the ship's crew. Guides and crew themselves seemed delighted to be there! The ship, the Mali Ante, was beautiful, clean, and well-run. The riding was well-planned, taking us along relatively easy routes in the countryside, and giving us a taste of many towns and villages, The meals were sumptuous and lovingly prepared. Someone considering this tour should know: - the rides are short, on average, so if they want more focus on cycling, this may not be the tour for them - the saddles for the e-bikes are hard and flat, so it might be an idea to bring a gel cover for comfort - the crew does smoke, and the smoke seems to come into some of the rooms at times, through the ventilation system. - the meals were very meat-heavy Altogether, with these caveats, this was a beautiful tour, thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Great bike rides from Split to Dubrovnik:

Wonderful Guides: josip and Calem, Princess Diana Boat and awesome Group. We loved the rides each day. Views were amazing. There were some days with a bit of elevation which made the bike climbs extra sweet with unexpected views.. Guides were great at prepping us for the day and helping those that needed assistance. The boat was clean and spacious. The best part were the new friends we made from around the world. Loved our week..

- LynnD, 09/06/2025 13:07, Travelled with Friend/s

Outstanding week

The biking leaders Ana and Miranda were just fabulous, not only leading us on beautiful rides, but ensuring everyone was together and safe. We were also looked forward to Ana's daily stories. The entire crew cheerfully made sure we were well fed and taken care of. The only negative I have is that while none of our group smoked, cigarette smoke entered our cabins through vents. That should be addressed.

A Must-Do Vacation!

This was my first cycle and sail trip and it will not be my last! Everything far exceeded my expectations, from the friendly hardworking crew, the amazing guides, especially Marine who was so kind and a wealth of knowledge, the food, the ship, the incredibly beautiful Dalmatian islands, and the Croatian people I met along the way! I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Unforgettable week in Croatia 🇭🇷

I have just returned from an unforgettable week sailing and cycling onboard the Eos. Everything went so well from beginning to end. The boat was fantastic.. The staff catered for our every need. Lucy & Harris on the interior looked after us so well with food & drinks. The chefs did an incredible job catering for all the different dietary requirements. Our cycle guides were amazing. Joško & Lovre took such good care of us all. Their passion for their job and their country is evident. They brought us to the most beautiful places. This week onboard has been one of my favorite ever experiences. Croatia and its people are truly wonderful and I am completely in love. Puno ljubavi ❤️

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND GREAT MEMORIES

I had not done a trip like this before so wasn’t sure what to expect. It was such a wonderful way to see a country. I am glad I got an e-bike as there were many hills that I would not have been able to ride with a regular bike. The views were always stunning. The food was great. The captain and crew were experienced to know how to adapt the trip to keep is safe while getting the most out of our experience. The bed/room was comfy and clean and provided Air Conditioning for hot nights. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND GREAT MEMORIES!

One of my favourite holidays!

From the moment we arrived to the ship, we received a friendly and professional greeting. The crew and guides were fantastic - did their utmost to accommodate any requests. 'J' our lead guide was very knowledgeable and gave a great historical account on our routes. All the crew: J, Louvre, Lucy, Harris went above and beyond, the chefs (food was great!) captains (smooth sailing all the way!) - everyone was so nice. The route and scenery exceeded expectations and we enjoyed swim stops along the way. The rest of the group that we met were all so welcoming and everyone mixed well with lots of chats and laughter. I would highly recommend.

Cycle Sail Croatia

The most amazing experience that surpassed all my expectations. The perfect mix of activity and relaxation. We cycled around stunning islands and moored at beautiful harbours. The food on board was excellent and the people I met were a joy. It felt like family by the end of the trip. Our cycled guide Josko was informed, professional, great fun and passionate about his country, giving us insights into the history of this incredible region along with great laughs, encouragement and always making us feel safe. The rest of the staff were superb also. Definitely a trip to be remembered for a long time to come, so sad that it’s over and planning the next one already 🙂

Another Fabulous Cycling/Sailing Teip

What a great crew!! Our cycling tour guides Tonka and Lola are knowledgeable, fun, supportive, excellent communicators and educators. It is easy to learn from them. Our food was amazing everyday because of an excellent Chef and Sous Chef. Mario, made sure are food was delivered hot, quickly and efficiently with lots of warm smiles. He was constantly observant as he met our needs before we even asked.. Ivan and Ilia were available should there be other needs we had. Anytime we asked!! All these crew members did it with smiles and warm hearts wanting to make our time the best ever!! A big Thank You to all including the Sail-Croatia Office staff who kept us informed before our trip!!

Sensational Experience

The people! Crew members, tour guides, fellow cyclists and the friends we came with all added to the entire experience. Marin was a wealth of knowledge. I especially enjoyed the history he shared with us. He is literally a "walking encyclopedia "!The cycling tours were breath taking, exciting and at times very relaxing. Johnny was awesome as a second tour guide. It was reassuring to have him following the group. He also provided so much pertinent information and awesome recommendations. They were both very gracious and giving. Bruno was exceptional, as well. In his quiet and unassuming manner he served food and drinks so respectfully and efficiently. The entire crew was terrific. This has been a truly wonderful time. Thank you to all!

Our guides, Lola and Miranda, were absolutely fantastic. The crew on our ship were great as well, most helpful and friendly, and the cabins were roomy and well designed.

Great trip - get on it

Joined a friend on a Sail Croatia (cycling) trip, island hopping to 7 islands and riding every day with a guide. Efficient way to see a range of lovely islands but also to get out of the villages and see the countryside. Small enough group to be manageable. Knowledgeable guides, friendly crew. All round good time. Would 100% recommend.

Unforgettable Bike & Sail Adventure in Croatia aboard the Emanuel

This trip was an incredible way to experience Croatia’s beauty, and the team aboard the Emanuel made it truly exceptional. Guides Tonka and Lucija were outstanding—organized, knowledgeable, and always approachable. Their enthusiasm and insight added so much to each destination and bike ride. Captain Ante and his crew were efficient, friendly, and always available to help, creating a relaxed and safe atmosphere on board. Chef George’s meals were a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, making every meal something to look forward to. From the stunning scenery to the expert guidance and warm hospitality, this was a perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Highly recommended!
