Wonderful! Improvement must be considered for highly excessive noise level in dining room. Requires acoustical treatment. Disappointing that meals were not served on outside tables! Missing towel bars or hooks to dry swimwear in rooms. Consider reducing swimming frequency for additional dock time at additional locations such as Havar & Split. All staff were very helpful, considerate and friendly!! Beautiful Ship!!!

The trip was excellent- they know how to make it the best! Wines of Croatia was more than expected with great variety and really good wine ! Every detail was taken care of! Klara was an awesome tour guide and always left things optional if anyone wanted to skip a tour for some down time. The history she shared when updating us with daily plans added to each tour! Daily swim stops were the best and freshened us up for lunch and another winery before dinner on the town or at a winery. The Captains dinner was a special treat! The deck hands were always keeping an eye on safety of everyone at swim stops and Mio and Evo serving up breakfast lunch and drinks were attentive and fun ! Highly recommend Sail Croatia and we will return for more!

The Queen Jelena is an exceptional ship! It was roomy and quiet. The staff is first rate and attentive. The Sail Croatia host was superb! A First class trip at a reasonable price. An incredible value.

We enjoyed exploring Croatia and meeting new friends on our sale Croatia cruise. Each day started with a relaxing morning on board and ended with a beautiful new island to explore at our own pace. Highly recommend!

My husband and I travelled with friends. We spent 2 weeks travelling Croatia before boarding the Olimp. On the positive, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very good and plentiful. The ship was very clean and the rooms and beds comfortable and spacious for a ship cabin. They were cleaned daily. The excursions were very interesting and enjoyable as were the guided tours. Suggestions would be to allow people to have meals in different areas as the dining room was very noisy: or reduce the # of travellers. Since mornings were spent on the ship, allow for a longer period to eat, say 8 to 10-11. The lunch menu was plentiful and could have been served for dinner instead with 2-3 off ship dinners. More time in some destinations would have been nice. Otherwise overall we loved the experience and would recommend Sail Croatia.

We were on the Katarina 7 day Sail Croatia cruise. It was extremely organized, had wonderful food and service, amazing attentive staff and a very competent captain. I think I am ruined from doing any large cruise ship vacations from now on! The cabins were well cared for and cleaned daily, the water was hot in the showers. The staff was attentive to any food aversions or allergies. The service felt very personalized as if they knew who each of us were and which cabin we were in. We got to know the other passengers well and it was enjoyable sharing meals and sailing time with them. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
- Andrea, 03/10/2026 14:51, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I loved the yacht and visiting the different locations along the coast. Every location was a little bit different, but all were beautiful. The common areas of the boat were never crowded and the daily swim stops were great. The cabin was spacious enough and remarkably quiet (lower deck). Our representative, Vicko, was so informative and humorous with his daily breifings of our itinerary, some history, and cultural tips. The wait staff/bartenders were so helpful and attentive. While generally, the food was good, I was a bit disappointed in their "accommodation" for our dietary needs. I told the booking agent before we booked about our dietary needs and she assured me it would be no problem. We verified this again shortly before the trip. We felt like our request was not fully conveyed to the chef and people supplying provisions on the boat, so it seemed like our alternative meals were kind of afterthoughts. The food did not measure up to the price of the trip.

The cruise gave us a taste for Croatia that we want to go back to, beautiful clear crystal waters and historical villages with a personalised touch. Dino our cruise director was outstanding briefing us once our twice a day plus constant updates on whatsapp with tips and suggestions and was always available to book restaurants or to answer questions. The boat was spotless and our rooms and bathrooms spacious. The pace of the cruise was great with enough time to relax and free time at shore to see the sights., With a fun group of only 33 guests on board everyone got along. Would recommend to anyone.

Such a wonderful sailing trip!! We spent a week on an Elegance Cruise on the ship Esperanza and couldn’t have hoped for a better holiday. The crew were so friendly and helpful and kept the ship immaculately presented. Klara was our tour leader and had a vivacious and hilarious personality. She was very thorough in the information she provided and ensured everyone and every activity was organised without any issues. We had a perfect balance of relaxation on the sun lounges, swimming and exploring the islands. The ship was spacious and our cabin with ensuite was very comfortable. We were delighted with our first small ship experience and would highly recommend it.

This was a beautiful cruise with wonderful swim stops and interesting ports every day. The breakfasts and lunches were very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the boat was kept very clean. There is not a lot of storage in the cabin, given the underbed area is taken up with life jackets. But after a day we had our storage needs figured out. They supply only basic bath amenities so bring your own, including washcloths. The shower was very weak and marginally warm a couple of days, other days it was cool. There were don't enough lines or hooks to hang wet swimwear to dry. The boat is not metal so bringing magnetic hooks doesn't help. This is only one of the very few ways to get to these small island ports. It's well worth the minor foibles on the boat.

My husband and I just returned from a seven day Croatian cruise aboard the Olimp yacht. We have been on several cruise ships traveling different routes-aboard different largerships, and this was the first time we chose a small, more intimate ship. It was just the two of us so we were nervous going in, but we’ve never had a better experience. From our incredible tour guide Anita to the captain and his amazing crew onboard, all expectations were exceeded. We had never been to Croatia before, and it was helpful to have an educated tour guide that guided us to explore the country safely and provided quality tours so that we could learn more about the country’s history and beauty. As an added bonus, the people we met on the ship were fantastic. We made what I hope will be lifelong friends. The intimate lunches and excursions provided a great opportunity to get to know people better and I am forever grateful!

We travelled with 9 other couples and were lucky to have chosen the Katerina as our ship. It was truly a positive experience . The entire staff , and captain we all so friendly and accommodating. A special acknowledgement to Dino our tour director who was always there to answer questions and ensure our day went smooth no matter where we were . It will be a trip we will always remember .
- Cheryl, 23/09/2026 14:26, Travelled in a Couple
The holiday was lovely. I really liked the Esperanza boat, very warm and welcoming with friendly staff. The swim every morning was a highlight, the top deck for sunbathing and visiting the different islands each day. We meet a bunch of great people whom we got on really well with which added to the overall experience. The food was mainly good, but thought the tipping expectation was extreme.
- Anonymous, 22/09/2026 19:15, Travelled in a Couple
Well organised, comfy cabin, tasty food. Tour manager Anita was personable and a great communicator. The dining room, although smart and stylish, was not good to eat in. It was very noisy and felt claustrophobic. It was disappointing we could not eat outside. Breakfast was okay, but there was limited choice and the food quality not good. Often the fruit ran out. Coffee not good either. Excursions were terrific with a wide choice. The gratuity advice was incredible. 600 euros per cabin ! Nearly everyone was astonished that we were expected to give that much.

Amazing. Loved all the ports we visited. The ship was beautiful and well maintained. The staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much bother. The food was good. About what l expected for what we paid. A couple of things. Food was good. Always fresh but l thought at lunch they should have had another option on the set menu. A few people don’t eat seafood but there was no other option. You would only get different menu if you had an allergy.. TVs in room don’t work. ? Why are they there? Overall l enjoyed the cruises. I would recommend Sail Croatian friends and family.

Stunning. We were on Katarina and it was amazing, spotlessly clean, every single one of the crew were cheerful and helpful. Anita, our Sail Croatia rep, was a delight, informative and fun. Food on board was gourmet restaurant quality. Schedule for the days worked very well, we loved the swim stops in the most beautiful, private coves. We made some new friends onboard from the mix of our fellow passengers. All in all a wonderful holiday!

From the moment we booked, everything about this holiday was fantastic. We sailed on the beautiful Romantic Star from Dubrovnik to Split via the most gorgeous islands, stopping every day at a beautiful swim stop. We made some great friends on board, and everything was made so easy by our wonderful cruise director, Anita. All-in -all, an amazing holiday - would highly recommend Sail Croatia and hope to sail with them again soon.

My husband and I had a fantastic week. The ship was so luxurious and our above deck cabin was even better than I had anticipated. The food was all delicious and drinks were reasonably priced. The swim stops each day were a standout for us- the water is so blue and clear and warm. Loved jumping off the boat into that beautiful water. Within a few short hours on board we found ‘tribe’ of like minded people. But really everyone on the cruise was lovely- from all over the world. Anita was our chief cruise organiser and was superb- nothing was too much trouble. Her WhatsApp updates, photos and recommendations were spot on. Loved every minute of our week on Romantic Star.

Excellent holiday all round. Olimp was a modern comfortable sound proofed ship with plenty of space inside and out. Crew and tour leader exemplary friendly and professional. Nothing too much trouble . Breakfasts wide range of hot and cold dishes, bread was a rather disappointing no whole meal granary or traditional breads . Lunches very substantial we would have preferred a salad sandwich self service bar too . Itinerary well planned visited beautiful znd varied islands and swim stops sensational. Dinner in farmhouse was so so I think we would have preferred to dine in Stari Grad independently and tour of Dubrovnik disappointing not very informative and bus charge rather silly Tips at end caused a lot of controversy would be better to subsume in total cost of holiday However overall a fantastic holiday run by people who were passionate about their jobs and Croatia. Don’t miss it !

The gluten free meals were creative, beautiful and yummy. The service staff worked none stop every minute with a smile and tender care. The Capitain’s vessel was exceptionally cared with extreme pride of ownership. The team had to make a few pivots and they did so with grace and dignity. The excursions were well planned and FUN! One night we were taken to the country vineyard for an authentic Croatian meal! Amazing!! Perfect mix of relaxation, and adventure.

I booked the trip because Croatia was on my bucket list and they were waiving the single supplement on a few sailings. We were a small group which made it a more intimate experience. My cabin was spacious and very comfortable. Our cruise director Lola was a dream. Very organized, kind and patient. The crew performed their jobs invisibly. The ports were all interesting but my favorite was the daily swim stops. Jump into the Adriatic sea and swim for an hour! The cruise was incredibly relaxing! The chef did a stellar job feeding us a healthy Mediterranean diet with decadent desserts.Can't recommend this trip enough!

This was the first cruise we have done and turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was great. I was very fortunate to join with a fantastic group of people (28 in total) and we had the best time. The breakfast every morning was fresh. The 3 course lunch was always a treat and the Captains dinner was wonderful. The crew were all amazing. Cabins were larger than I was expecting and kept clean. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

This was our first small ship cruise, accompanied by another couple (friends) who have been on lots of larger cruises, four of us did not know what to expect. On arrival, our tour guide Lola was very professional & welcoming which continued throughout the entire cruise! The boat (Romantic Star) was beautiful, clean & well maintained with all creature comforts. Our Captain and all crew were very pleasant and accommodating. Scenery of course was amazing!! Was lovely to be able to come and go from the boat when docked without being on time restraints, allowing us to explore each port at our own leisure or, take part in one of the many excursions both included and paid. For thrill seekers looking to go offroad on ATV tour we don't recommend as all roads are sealed and we felt price was a little expensive for what the tour included. Overall, we highly recommend anyone to Sail Croatia with Sail Croatia as we will again in the future!

We had the most amazing week onboard Romantic Star. The crew were great, captained by Ivan. Our tour guide, Lola, couldn’t have been better. She was helpful, informative, great knowledge, spoke brilliant English and had a great sense of humour - all necessary for the group of passengers she was looking after! The choice and range of islands we visited were perfect. All different and all enjoyable. The excursions were fantastic too. The swim stops were one of my favourite parts of every day - such beautiful places chosen to stop. We were lucky with the group of passengers on the boat - all lovely people and super fun! We really hope we can return for another cruise one day. We’ve fallen in love with Croatia. Having never been before, the mini-ship cruise was the perfect introduction to this stunning country. Thank you Sail Croatia!

We had the most amazing time on our Sail Croatia cruise and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of the biggest highlights was waking up each day and heading to a new, beautiful swimming spot — crystal-clear water, incredible scenery and the perfect way to spend each day. We also loved the people we met along the way. Sharing the experience with such a wonderful group made the trip even more special. But what really stood out was the amazing crew. Their care, attention and pride in looking after the boat was exceptional. They worked incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly and the boat in beautiful condition, while always making everyone feel welcome and looked after. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia. We’ve come home with some fantastic memories and friendships that we’ll treasure. ❤️

We decided to cruise with Sail Croatia again this year as we had enjoyed our holiday so much last year. We sailed on the Katarina this time of and have to say our trip was faultless! The cabin, food and company were amazing and this was our best experience of cruising to date. The itinerary took us to fabulous new places and swim stops so it felt completely different. Above all we have to praise the captain and crew. They work so hard to keep everything smooth running and spotless clean. A true luxury experience from start to finish. Particular thanks to Ivana and everyone for making our anniversary celebrations so special! The chef must be a genius to make such a delicious cake onboard. We will definitely be back!!

Travelled on the Katarina from Split to Dubrovnik. From the initial booking, customer service when emailing with a question, to last minutes on the ship, you are looked after. The ship is in pristine condition, the crew and rep make you feel at home and the food excellent. The bonus was we met a fantastic bunch of people. Having never done a cruise we didn’t know what to expect but everything is organised, the rep gives a daily itinerary of sailing times, excursions, things to do, places to eat etc to help with your planning and the daily swim spots are breathtaking. Looking forward to our next one.

Our Sail Croatia cruise exceeded every expectation. While the stunning Croatian coastline and crystal-clear Adriatic waters speak for themselves, it was the people who transformed a great holiday into an unforgettable experience. From day one, our tour leader Viko and the entire crew were incredibly warm, welcoming and genuinely committed to ensuring everyone had the best possible time. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Their enthusiasm, friendliness and willingness to go the extra mile created an atmosphere that was relaxed, fun and inclusive. Each island had its own unique character, offering a wonderful variety of history, culture, scenery and local experiences. Every stop felt different, making each day a new adventure while showcasing the incredible beauty of Croatia. The food throughout the cruise was excellent, with delicious meals that complemented the relaxed onboard atmosphere perfectly.

Our holiday was fantastic. The Olimp is a beautiful ship, designed with every comfort in mind. We were only a small group of passengers on our cruise, 14 in total so there was plenty of choice of where to relax during sea time. Food was delicious with a buffet breakfast full of choice and lunch also delicious. Allergies were well taken care of. We stopped for a swim stop each day and captain Jurges made sure he picked the best spots. Each afternoon we berthed up in port and were free to explore beautiful towns. Having been prepared by our tour operator Lola we knew the best places to go and what to see. Included in our cruise were some guided tours and a dinner in a vineyard as well as a delicious captains dinner one evening. Our cabins were comfortable and were serviced every morning while we were at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff, Linda and Ally, and all the deck staff also. Great friendships and wonderful memories were made.

One of the best holidays ever!! Everything about our week aboard the Olimp with Sail Croatia was outstanding!! The Olimp boat itself is incredible, impeccably clean, luxurious yet a relaxed vibe. Loved the stylish top deck lounge/spa area! Also loved the unique lowering platform at the rear into the turquoise waters where we had our daily swim stops, SUPs, snorkelling etc. The 3 course meals were all delicious and different each day- kudos to our chef! All the service staff were so attentive, with a genuinely happy demeanour and very professional. Our tour director Vicko with his positive energy was very informative providing briefings every morning on the upcoming day's port features and activity options. All of the activities optional or included were fabulous, Our cruise was in June, so awesome weather! It was our first time to Croatia which we absolutely loved and I couldn't recommend highly enough, a Sail Croatia cruise aboard the Olimp! It exceeded all our expectations!

The Esperanza was a comfortable boat with just the right amenities including a pleasant dining room with large windows, a top deck that never felt crowded, and a gracious staff. Dino, the Director, went out of his way every day to ensure everyone was comfortable and that we had all we needed. Our cabin was larger than I expected, including a full shower. The walking tours at our stops were led by local guides, several of whom were really outstanding. It was an engaging itinerary with lots of time for swim stops and relaxation. The countryside farm to table dinner was truly special. Our fellow passengers were a delight, and well-educated. I would love to take another cruise since we enjoyed this one so much.

We had an excellent trip from a Dubrovnik to Split. The weather was perfect. The Adriatic was calm and a beautiful blue color. The crew on the Olimp was excellent. My only complaint was trying to find our ship to board in Dubrovnik. The Sail Croatia “Find Your Ship” app was not helpful at all, No one answered the phone number listed for assistance. We had to take 2 taxi’s and lug our suitcases around the port for an hour until someone at the tourist information office directed us to try the port entrance under the bridge several minutes by taxi from where we were. It was stressful, hot, tiring, and generally an unpleasant way to start our trip. Fortunately, things improved after that.

Everything was planned very well. Our tour manager Vicko was incredible, always giving lots of history of the towns and information on the destination with ideas of what to do. The food was top class, and all the staff extremely helpful. Perfect mix of relaxing and exploring.

Weeere not sure what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. The boat - the Olimp and our cabin was nicer than we were expecting. The provided meals were varied, generous and tasty. The crew worked extremely hard to make sure we had a wonderful relaxing time. MVPs were Ally and Linda who were up early to make sure breakfast was ready and who then served us throughout the day and well into the evening. They were always last to bed but always smiling and helpful. They deserve a medal!! The itinerary was great - we sailed from Dubrovnik to Split. Our fellow cruisers were all lovely and friendly so all in all just a great vibe. I would highly recommend this cruise.

After discovering Sail Croatia a few months ago—and reading countless glowing reviews on TripAdvisor—I decided it was time to add island-hopping on a superyacht to my bucket list! I’m so glad I did, because this cruise turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. After decades of “research,” I’ve finally found my favourite type of holiday—and my preferred way to travel! The MV Katarina, along with everyone on board (guests and crew alike), was completely my vibe. 🫶🏻 I’d always dreamed of a holiday like this, and it exceeded every expectation. The crew were outstanding. A huge thank you to Captain Ivan, to Zeljko & Karlo the talented chefs, Ivana and Karlo in the bar and restaurant, Petra in housekeeping, the engineers & deck crew. A very special mention must go to our cruise director Anita. Her warmth, enthusiasm, hard work & attention to detail made the experience truly special & unforgettable. Thank you to everyone at Sail Croatia.

It was the best. Olimp was a beautiful ship. Very well taken care of. Loved the swim platform. Lots of room to relax and enjoy the islands. Vic and the crew were awesome. Vic took care of any need we had. His communication with us was top notch. Ellie and Linda were great bartenders. Our Captain was amazing. He took us to a different swim hole everyday. It mattered to him that we enjoyed ourselves. LOVED Croatia!!! It was so beautiful. The people, the food, the history. loved it all. To top it off we spent 7 days with the most wonderful people from all over. We will definitely be back.

Sail Croatia – Olimp (Split to Dubrovnik) – 5 Stars! Our week aboard the Olimp exceeded expectations. Vicko was an outstanding cruise director—funny, informative, and always willing to help, even rescuing our Nautika dinner reservation. His presentation on Croatian history and culture was excellent. Captain George, Ellie, and Linda were all wonderful, and our cabin was spotless throughout the trip. The swim stops were spectacular, with crystal-clear water and stunning scenery. The Olimp is a beautiful ship, and we loved our lower-deck cabin—quiet, spacious, and cool. The swim platform made water access easy and was a highlight of the ship. The itinerary was fantastic, with Korčula and Hvar as our favorite stops. We enjoyed the Blue Cave, wine tasting in Korčula, and the village dinner in Žrnovo. Great breakfasts, delicious lunches, amazing crew, beautiful destinations, and wonderful fellow travelers. We’d do it again in a heartbeat. Five stars!

We had a great time. Met lovely people, great group and the places we went to were incredible. The staff went way above and beyond. I can not rave more about each and every one of them. They said they are like a family and it showed. They are a credit to Olimp. Our trip was to be with our dear friends but sadly he passed away while we were on the second last night of our trip. The staff handled us with respect and genuine wishes. Thank you again for your considerate and caring ways. Viko you are a walking encyclopaedia and you can see you take great pride in your job. You were a joy to talk to and you go above and beyond your call of duty 🙏🙏🙏🙏

We loved our cruise on the Queen Jelena! The boat was beautiful and absolutely spotless! There was plenty of shade, sunbeds and also a jacuzzi. The day started with a breakfast buffet between 8 and 9am. Then we relaxed on the deck until it was time for our midmorning swim. This was such a fun! It was easy to get in and out of the water as they provided a stepped ramp instead of the usual ladder. And swim noodles. Then cocktail time and lunch. We had a 3 course lunch every day. All meals were delicious and of very high quality. We docked shortly after lunch and explored the different destinations on our own and chose our own restaurant for dinner in the port. Our tour guide, Vedran, was excellent. He was very charming, helpful and quite entertaining! Every day he would give us recommendations for dinner and things to do in each stop. The entire crew were very efficient, friendly and helpful. This is a great way to explore Croatia and I would highly recommend Sail Croatia. Thank you.

Just back from a fabulous holiday sailing around the Croatian islands. Sailing on the yacht Katarina - which was absolutely immaculate - brilliant crew, swim stops, beautiful islands, food and service - could not fault it. Supported by a great tour director - Anita. She was good fun, gave us so much information and was so genuine in wanting us to have the best experience. I would highly recommend this trip - it has given us some fantastic memories. Superb in every way.

My husband and I are extremely pleased with the experience, service, food, and staff. Sail Croatia provided an excellent service and a great holiday. For us it was a terrific week. The small boat size and number of passengers was great and we made many new friends that we will keep in touch with. The team on the boat as well as Dino who organised everything for the passengers - from planned to ad hoc were excellent. Food was always good, rooms and the rest of the ship were clean and tidy. Also the schedule of leisure time, sight seeing, and swim stops was perfect. We will be recommended Sail Croatia. Thank you for a terrific week.

Esperanza Cruise Split to Dubrovnik. A very relaxing experience for a first time cruiser. Mornings include swim stops in pristine waters or relaxing on the top deck. After lunch, which were always outstanding and varied, we dock at a new port and explore - free time. The Village Dinner and Captain’s dinner were authentic and fun with local influences and musicians. The Captain and all his crew were professional and friendly and the boat was kept immaculate at all times. All meals on board were quality and the menu changed daily. Our Tour Manager Klara was a stand out, she was approachable, informative providing daily updates about the details of the island we would be visiting, patient with everyone and had a wonderful bubbly and charming personality. The highlight of the trip was getting to know fellow travellers, listening to their lives and travel experiences while cruising beautiful destinations and making new friends.Thank you. Rita & Ross
- Rita, 08/06/2026 12:56, Travelled in a Couple
There isn’t enough stars to rate how amazing the elegance cruise on the Esperanza was. One of the best holidays of our lives. Klara and the team made sure we had the most incredible experience. From the swim stops each day to the mid morning jacuzzi, to the amazing ever changing on board food menu, island stops and excursions, it was simply the best! As a 40 year old couple who wanted a slow holiday where we didn’t need to think too much about what to do next, this cruise was ideal for us, allowing us to do as much or as little as our hearts desired!
- Lisa, 03/06/2026 03:30, Travelled in a Couple
My holiday was amazing. The crew on the ship were very friendly and helpful. Our tour manager Dino was very informative and helpful. Very cheerful person and got on well with the group. I was a vegetarian and they catered for us but one thing I would say they need to add some protein for lunch.

Sail Croatia 🇭🇷 on the Romantic Star was fabulous all because of Dino and crew. The yacht was in good order, clean, and spacious. We had a lovely cabin. The food was fantastic and always beautifully presented. The crew was helpful and so knowledgeable. Dino especially made the trip memorable. I will definitely tell all my friends and family!
- Colleen, 02/06/2026 19:08, Travelled in a Couple
Amazing time on a magnificent boat. The crew were fantastic. Special mention to Linda and Ali who looked after us with cocktails and coffees so well. So many laughs and great times. Met some people that will be life long friends for sure.
- Jarrod, 02/06/2026 18:14, Travelled in a Couple
My holiday was legendary. As a solo traveler, I expected to be the mysterious lone wolf on the boat… but the crew and passengers immediately adopted me like a long‑lost cousin. Suddenly I had a whole squad, plus the freedom to wander off whenever my main‑character energy demanded a solo montage.My guide, Dino, was an absolute icon. If you get paired with him, congrats—you basically won the Croatian lottery. Every stop came with great suggestions, optional group dinners, and zero pressure. I even left with friends I’m now morally obligated to visit.And the food and wine? Outrageously good. Every meal tasted like someone’s grandmother blessed it, and the local wines were so delicious I briefly considered becoming a Croatian vineyard apprentice.Croatia is almost offensively beautiful, and having a local guide makes everything smoother and way more fun. The crew, the food, the wine, the swim stops—chef’s kiss. Paddle boards, snorkel gear, curated stops… all amazing.If you’re debating this

Our 7 days on the ship Jelena was wonderful. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The scenery was exquisite!
- Bobbe, 02/06/2026 08:12, Travelled in a Couple
It’s hard to put into words how amazing our week on the Olimp was. From the moment we stepped onto the boat we were blown away. The boat is exquisite. It is a credit to George (our captain) and his fantastic crew that everything was maintained to perfection. It looked brand new every day. We made lifelong friends and our week aboard exploring the beauty of the Adriatic was something we will remember forever. We purposely planned our cruise for the conclusion of our month long holiday and it was the best decision we made…although the plan to simply relax was not quite the case as we were having too much fun. Vedran had everything under control so the biggest decision of the day was ‘which cocktail’. Our fantastic crew were amazing (especially Ally & Linda). Nothing was ever too hard. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough. Would go again in a heartbeat.
- Vicki, 02/06/2026 08:11, Travelled in a Couple
This was our first time seeing South Croatia via a yacht. The staff was amazing and welcoming as soon as we arrived, by the end of the week we had established new friendships. Each meal was delicious. Croatia is a beautiful country that should be on your list of countries to visit for sure! The entire experience was amazing and I would recommend this trip 💯 percent!

We had the most fantastic time on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik. Every island was different and so enjoyable. Vicko was an amazing Tour Guide whose morning briefings about the day ahead, along with his restaurant and other suggestions were excellent. Highlights of the trip were Hvar, Korcula and bike riding through the National Park on Mljet. Captain George took us to some beautiful swim spots along the way, as well as the Blue Cave as well as hosting a brilliant Captain’s Dinner. Linda, Elina and the rest of the crew looked after us so well each and every day. All the meals on board Olimp were delicious and our cabin was perfect. Bravo to all! We will definitely return to Croatia to explore more of this beautiful country.

W enjoyed a great week on the Olimp in May. Could not meet a more professional and enthusiastic team on that boat. The tour was better than expected and we thoroughly enjoyed all the places we visited. The accommodation was excellent and the food very good. We would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone.
- Danny, 29/05/2026 11:22, Travelled in a Couple
Our holiday was very relaxing. Dino was 5 stars and so were the rest of the crew. Great way to see the islands. The only reason we rated 4stars instead of 5 is because we would have preferred not to be served a full 3 course meal at lunch. A buffet would have been better. Save the big meal for when we were in the towns. As it was we ate two dinner type meals a day until we decided to just not eat lunch on the ship.

We sailed on The Romantic Star on a wine cruise. We had daily wine tastings in beautiful different places and plenty of wine to sample. The lunches on board and The captains dinner were delicious. We had a lower cabin as no upper ones left and it was very quiet and spacious. Klara our guide really made the trip. She was funny, helpful, organised and gave us detailed information about what we were doing on a daily basis, restaurant suggestions and was always on hand to help. The ship had plenty of seating areas if you wanted to be quiet and some lovely semi shade areas on the upper deck. I would recommend this trip .

Wow! From the moment we stepped on board ‘Olimp’ we both knew we had made the right choice choosing Sail Croatia. All of the crew, tour manager (Vedran) and the Captain all made us feel like family and went above and beyond to make our whole experience a memorable one. We made the decision to do a small boat cruise rather than a huge ship, and it was the best! The cabins were spotless and very comfortable. No trouble sleeping at all onboard. Meals on board were delicious each day and five star in my opinion. The Captains Dinner was amazing. So much fun and laughter. Great food and drinks. We will be recommending Sail Croatia to all of our friends who are thinking about going on a cruise. Thankyou all again for a memorable holiday that we will never forget. Until we meet again Colin and Deborah

The wine cruise was amazing in all respects. The ship, staff and tour director surpassed all expectations. The food was very good. The chef and assistant produced incredible meals and catered accordingly for anyone with allergies etc. Lola, our tour director, was so knowledgeable and ensured our wine experiences were memories for life. The ship was perfect and our captain made decisions when the weather changed to take the safest and smoothest route. I would highly recommend this trip.

We loved pretty much everything about this Wine Themed Cruise. Our cruise director Lola went above and beyond to answer all our questions, provide helpful recommendations, take awesome photos and share lovely Croatian customs w/ us. The CREW worked their tail feathers off, especially Pamela & Lucy behind the bar! Service always with a BIG smile. Josef & Josef also worked hard to make sure our sail made it safely in and out of every port. We enjoyed having dinner w/ Captain Gordon and hearing all about his ship! The crew who prepared our meals were amazing. Not sure how they got 30+ meals all out at once from their tiny kitchen. With that being said, there were a couple of things I would have preferred. Often the food was served at room temperature which I prefer my food to be served hot. I also found it often lacked seasoning. I would have liked to see a more varied menu. With that being said… the Tuna steak was amazing and the Lamb Shank too die for! DESSERTS excellent ❤️

Our cruise to some of the Croatian Islands was a wonderful experience. So much beauty and history. The Esperanza is a lovely boat and we were very comfortable. The crew were charming, helpful and looked after our every need. The food was delicious but three courses was almost too much at times! The Captain ran a tight ship and took us to some beautiful bathing spots in the clear waters of the Adriatic. Being a small boat we got to know our fellow passengers from different parts of the world which was an added bonus. We enjoyed our holiday enormously and will remember it for a long time to come. I recommend this holiday to anyone who loves beauty, history and warm friendly people.

The itinerary was exceptional. The wine tastings were fantastic. The Romantic Star is a lovely vessel and well laid out. My only complaint is the non stop cigarette smoke from the staff (area located right beneath the outdoor lounge). The food was very good and all of the staff did an excellent job making our holiday a memorable one. Would highly recommend the wines of Croatia cruise.

We cruised from Split to Dubrovnik on Romantic Star for the Wine Tour late April. Everything was just perfect - the staff, the amazing food, great passengers, the ship itself (being very modern clean & comfortable) & our tour guide Anita made the whole trip very memorable for everyone. The weather was also perfect for walking at that time, however the water was still too cold for swimming. There were less tourists around and our boat wasn't completely full, so we had a nice group of only 19 passengers, which was perfect. I would highly recommend an Elegance cruise on the Romantic Star.

We were on the Romantic Star on the Elegance Cruise. The cabin suite was very spacious and had great storage for all our personal effects. Loved the full size windows to watch the scenery as we cruised. The crew really made an effort to accommodate my special food diet, which was really appreciated. We only had 19 passengers on our cruise as it was near the end of the season, which was really nice as there was so much space on the vessel to hang out. We loved the itinerary to all the different islands. This cruise is very good value for the price and would recommend it to others.

We just finished this 7 day cruise Split to Dubrovnik. Stormy weather on Day 1 forced some itinerary changes but the sun soon came out and all was plain sailing. Visited Hvar Korcula Mljet Sipan and Dubrovnik. Relaxed mornings with swim stops in isolated coves, 3 course delicious meals at lunch. In the afternoon and evening wine tasting and on shore dinners. We learnt a lot about Croatian wines and local life on the islands. Friendly crew , personable host Vin and the wonderful chef made for a very pleasant cruise.. Our upper deck accommodation was clean and comfortable. We'd recommend this cruise, suitable for 40s to 80s!

MV Katarina was excellent! Every aspect of the cruise was well thought through and enjoyable. The meals on-board were first class - plentiful amount of food that was tasty, beautifully presented and with good variety. The staff on board were friendly, helpful and provided impeccable service (particularly the wait/bar-staff). The cabin and bathroom were a good size and super clean, and the shower spacious with good water pressure and hot-water. The boat itself is kept immaculately clean and felt new with plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the scenery. The itinerary was great and provided a good balance between time for sightseeing and relaxing, with a variety of activities and tours on offer. I particularly enjoyed the swim stops in secluded bays. Special thanks to our cruise director Ioana who communicated well, was helpful and organised. I thoroughly recommend Sail Croatia (who were great at communication before the cruise) and MV Katerina.

From the very beginning our time upon the Katarina was wonderful. Ioana arranged excursions beautifully and was very flexible with everyone. We met so many nice people on board and feel like we all got along very well. The rooms were spacious and the showers hot with great water pressure and comfortable beds. The crew is amazing. It is a family business and it feels like it. They all work together to make the stay extra special. There is not a speck of dirt on this boat. They are always cleaning- even saw the captain out cleaning . The food is good. Breakfast and lunches are included and very filling. Almost too much food in fact! I hated to be wasteful but dinner was large portions. The drinks are great and the bar staff was also wonderful. From beginning to end it was a fantastic trip and I would very much do it all over again!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Sail Croatia Elegance cruise from Dubrovnik to Split in mid-September. We loved the morning swim breaks followed by delicious 3-course lunches then activities on the next island/stop—it was a great mix of lazy and active. The ship was roomy and comfortable so it was easy to hang out with people or find space to be alone. Everything was well-planned and organized, and ran so smoothly. We were very grateful for Visco, our impressive tour manager, who had a wonderful style—friendly and informative; each morning he described our itinerary for the day, told us more about what was unique about the stop, activities we might want to do, and things like how to find transportation if we wanted to wander further. He’d also send suggestions via whatsapp, and sit and chat with us at meals. We learned so much about Croatia and its fascinating history through Visco and the various guides on the tours. The captain, staff and crew were skilled, friend
- Carol, 06/10/2025 10:27, Travelled in a Couple
We enjoyed the crew and getting to know the passengers. . The food was inconsistent, not always stellar . Much of it dry and cold, the coffee was instant, and we had to pay extra for real coffee. The islands themselves very scenic, the ship was clean, and the crew were amazing. We would do a smaller cruise but upgrade to a fancier ship with better food. Otherwise, great memories were made.

We had an amazing trip from Dubrovnik to Split on board the Queen Jelena. This is an ideal way to get a taste of the beautiful islands that lie between these two major towns. The communication and information from Sail Croatia staff prior to the trip was very good. The ship is a beauty and stands out from the more modern looking ones wherever we docked. The service from the friendly crew on board was excellent. Vicko, our Sail Croatia guide, provided us with tons of helpful information at each of the briefings and via the WhatsApp group - so much so, that we really missed him when we had to fend for ourselves again at the end of the cruise! The quality of the food on board was very good. We had breakfast & 3 course lunch on board and then fended for ourselves in the evening, except for the Captain's dinner and a meal at a Croatian village on one of the islands. The cruise was also made special by our lovely cruise companions we met from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and UK.

Stunning scenery, luxurious accommodation, delicious meals, and excellent crew and trip leader. We never thought we’d take a cruise, but being with a small group appealed to us. Although Sail Croatia advertises their trips as small group experiences that describes life on the ship, but not ashore. At first we were quite taken aback that our ship would raft with as many nine other ships in port. I wish Sail Croatia had included at least one photo of the boats rafted in their trailer on the website so this wasn’t such a surprise for many of us. Disappointing, but it didn’t ruin our trip. The daily swim stops when we were anchored provided a quieter experience that we were looking for. Our trip leader, Ivan, was both well organized and knowledgeable. He provided great suggestions of what to do on the islands in his detailed daily itineraries. He also shared his vast knowledge of the history of Croatia with us in his talks which were really interesting. We loved his surprise on Hvar!

A Beautiful ship. (spacious, modern, comfortable) Great Tour Manager (Ivan) who was very knowledgeable, attentive and very good company. He ensured we made the most of the week with recommendations, excursions, advice. Always present with a smile! Fabulous friendly and helpful crew Excellent food on board. Croatia is a stunning country of blue seas, green islands, welcoming people, delicious local food and wine. We were group of mixed ages and nationalities who started as strangers and ended up as friends! Highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone contemplating a trip around the islands.

Everything about our Croatia Elegance cruise on the Katarina was outstanding, with the exception of the meals, which often weren’t to our liking. But would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

We had the absolute pleasure of cruising with the Queen Jelena and her crew. Our cruise guide Ioana was beyond fabulous!! I didn’t want the cruise to end - exceptional service from beginning to end!!
- Laurel, 25/09/2025 17:31, Travelled in a Couple
From the moment we left Split to our arrival in Dubrovnik we had a wonderful week on Romantic Star. The crew were outstanding and our cruise manager, Anita, looked after all of our needs very well indeed. The daily swim stops were a delight and great fun. Food was good and plentiful. We weren’t impressed by the local village dinner but the Captain’s Dinner was a great night, We shared the week with lovely guests from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA. They all made our week a holiday to remember! The icing on the cake was the weather, 7 days of sunshine and calm waters! We hope to go again before we get too old!!

- Jo, 24/09/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple
This was my first cruise of any type and it didn’t disappoint. The boat, crew, schedule and islands were first class all the way. Our tour guide, Anita, went above and beyond to make sure it went smoothly We are already looking at other sailing cruises. I can’t imagine doing a cruise with a commercial company now that I’ve been spoiled by this. My favorite food on the whole trip was actually on the boat. HIGHLY recommend this experience!!!!!!!
- Dennissa, 23/09/2025 07:28, Travelled in a Couple
This cruise was a great experience. The staff was incredibly attentive, the food was delicious and plenty of . It .The destinations were wonderful and the swim spots were calm., clean and secluded. The cabin was a little small and the bed a bit uncomfortable. I recommend it for anyone looking for a fuss free, intimate way to see the islands of Croatia..
- Mary-Louise , 23/09/2025 03:15, Travelled in a Couple
We booked this cruise on the recommendation of our friends who had taken the same one a few years ago. They told us we would love it… how right they were! From the booking process through the comprehensive pre cruise information to the smooth embarkation with our lovely thoughtful host Ioana , fantastic crew, beautiful boat, comfortable and spotlessly clean cabin, delicious food and excellent range of optional activities- this side of the holiday was perfect. The other part of this type of holiday is the fellow passengers. Well we definitely lucked out here! A wonderful bunch of people. All very different but all interesting and interested. We quickly developed a real camaraderie and had lots of fun together. We were sad to leave our boat family but continued to meet up for dinner or drinks in Dubrovnik after leaving the boat. A measure of the friendships forged. An unforgettable trip,
- Liz, 22/09/2025 14:45, Travelled in a Couple
The Sail Croatia experience is wonderful. The people on board became fast friends after only one day. The singing, the laughter the wonderful swim stops. My only complaint would be to have better coffee on board, and skip the Village Dinner, our dinner was in Korcula and there were some amazing restaurants we could have gone to instead of a loud, marginal meal on hard seats. The party bus on the return ride was a highlight though. I heard the wine tour before the Village dinner was exceptional. All in all an experience I will not forget. The staff worked hard to make sure each day was exceptional.

The boat - Romantic Star - was spotlessly clean. The cabins were a good size with en-suite bathroom. Plenty of hot water and a great shower. The food was amazing, buffet breakfast, cookies at 11 and lunch at 1 . How the chef produces such wonderful meals is beyond me!always a starter, a main course and a dessert.. the swim stops were lovely and the visits interesting. The village meal was lovely as was the Captain’s dinner. All very laid back - I took far too many clothes🥴.this was a great way to see the islands and towns and cities of Croatia. I can highly recommend this trip and sail Croatia

Comfortable cabin. Tasty food. My food preferences were accommodated. Nice tours were organised. Tour operator was pleasant and accommodating. Standard of wine was good.

Queen Jelena is a beautiful ship and we appreciated her elegance. Everything was organized perfectly. The service and food was incredible. Our guide Ioana was amazing, she gave detailed explanations of the days and next nexts plans and optional activities. This was followed up by written explanations on WhatsApp which was very helpful I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip to anyone
- Liz, 16/09/2025 13:46, Travelled in a Couple
Sailing to the small island towns of Croatia on the beautiful yacht Katarina has to be one of the best experiences I’ve had. The accommodations were lovely, the food was wonderful, and the crew were amazing! I can’t imagine enjoying the beauty of Croatia any other way!
- Janice, 16/09/2025 11:17, Travelled in a Couple
I would have discounted our room as we were directly over the engine which was ear splitting.y loud, had home made cookies available all day, served better quality salads, had more beach towels for guests, more water toys, I.e., paddle boards nd kayaks and laundry services available. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Linda, 16/09/2025 06:03, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Linda, thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear that you found the staff friendly and helpful! We regret to learn that some aspects didn't meet your expectations. While your Above Deck cabin was located near the engine room, as with all small ship cruises, some engine noise can be experienced – many guests find this a minor part of the authentic sailing experience. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions regarding cookies, salads, beach towels, water toys, and laundry services. Our crew are happy to accommodate where possible and assist in extra towels, more salad and providing recommendations on laundromats. Your comments will be passed on to our team as we continually look for ways to enhance the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back on board for another enjoyable cruise soon!
Loved the opportunity to explore the beautiful Croatian coast on Queen Jelena. Docking in the heart of a different place each day and being able to explore into the evening instead of rushing back to a ship that would be moving on before dinner set this apart from traditional cruises. Swimstops in quiet coves were another highlight of every day. We met some fabulous people, we spent the week with Canadians, Australians and Americans as well as others from England and Scotland. Meeting people from so many places and having the opportunity to socialise with them through the week, was another great strength of the trip. We’ll be keeping in touch! The food was good, the bar nearly always open and the crew helpful and worked hard to ensure we enjoyed every part of our holiday. We had an amazing tour guide with us throughout the trip, who did so much for us, including entertaining us. I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone wanting something a little different and a memorable holiday.

I really enjoyed the program…. Relaxing mornings , swim stops and lunch. It really made me wind down. Lovely Croatian islands to discover and evening meals on shore. Katarina is a well appointed ship. Extremely clean and comfortable and the staff were great. Very helpful and attentive without being too familiar. I loved it.
- Alyson , 10/09/2025 16:47, Travelled in a Couple
Our Sail Croatia Rep, Klara, set the tone for the week with her excellent communication and offbeat humour. The Olimp was a beautiful ship, really luxurious and the crew were friendly and helpful. The food was perfect - not to heavy so we could enjoy the fabulous island restaurants and swimming off the back of the boat was so exciting. That left the Islands to spin their own magic on us - stunning scenery, great outings on bikes, buggy and jeep and discovering the history and local wines made for a superb holiday. Best of all we met like minded people from around the World we enjoyed spending time with. 5 stars all round.
- Fiona, 10/09/2025 14:35, Travelled in a Couple
The food was fabulous, the staff were hardworking and efficient. The ship was exceptional and facilities were 5*. Couple of small things that would make it better: -2 x cabin keys; -Hand soap and shower gel (information stated these were provided and to being shampoo & conditioner, but these were provided); -Coffee machine and tea facilities available at all times. We are very early risers and look forward to a morning coffee or tea. Had an amazing week, thank you and would happily sail with Sail Croatia again. Many thanks ⛴️😁

The crew were all wonderful too and we experienced some delicious meals. We made some wonderful memories which we will treasure for many years. Thank-you Sail Croatia

Quality of accommodation and a beautifully lean and well maintained boat. Efficient crew, lovely food, well paced schedule.
- Tracey, 27/08/2025 05:16, Travelled in a Couple
The boat (Queen Jelena), the intinerary from Dubrovnik to Split, the regular swim stops and the food, was all outstanding. However, I also did not feel like I needed a full 3-course sit-down meal in the middle of the day EVERY day. Our tour leader was informative, helpful and lovely. Perhaps the only disappointment was that the boat was half full (in July??) with 12 other passengers : 3 couples and the rest retired single and/or divorced women in their 70s. (I still work and was holidaying solo for a break and some fun). By the 4th night I was feeling trapped in the slow lane and trying to avoid the "horrible ex-husband" stories.. That said, I do recommend Sail Croatia, and I understand you cannot control who books a tour at the same time as you. However I found the Elegance cruise to be better suited to travellers seeking a slower pace.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Elegance cruise with Sail Croatia. We travelled on the Katerina and the ships comfort and amenities surpassed our expectations The itinerary was a great mix of relaxation, socialising and exploring the wonderful islands of Croatia. The best of the cruise was definitely the wonderful crew especially our cruise director Ioana She was a delight and organised so many extra options during our cruise. We made wonderful friends and felt like we were part of a very special family aboard Katerina - we thoroughly recommend the Sail Croatia Elegance Cruise
- Evelyn, 14/08/2025 22:54, Travelled in a Couple
What can I say - this trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The seamless, friendly, personable, professional staff were charming and couldn't do enough for us. Special shout out to Iona our tour guide who was truly wonderful and extremely funny - we all grew very fond of her. Particularly like that the Yacht is owned by a family and run as a family business which I feel really shines through in the feel and atmosphere of the boat. The boat is beautiful - really classy and luxurious without being pretentious. We met a wonderful group of people and we built friendships and bonds that were very special and really added to our experience. Croatia is stunning and being able to have a snap shot of various different islands was wonderful. The Croatian people are so proud and patriotic it's lovely to see. We didn't want to leave and will defo be back - our favourite holiday so far. Thank you for having us x

From meeting Vedran, our Tour Manager, who looked after us throughout with fantastic knowledge of all locations we visited, to the ships crew and Captain Vlado who kept us safe throughout, we loved our trip starting in Split and sailing down to Dubrovnik, visiting various islands on the way. experiencing swim stops, superb restaurants and wine. Special mention to Martina & Mio who looked after in restaurant/bar and housekeeping were always friendly and efficient throughout. Would definitely recommend this trip and all the staff on Esperanza that looked after us

We did an elegance cruise on the Romantic Star and everything about our cruise was perfect. The captain and crew were amazing, very professional and so hard working to make our cruise so enjoyable. Our tour manager Ioana was fabulous and did an excellent job. We only had a small number on our cruise so the service was extra special and very personal. The daily swim stops were a highlight. I highly recommend Sail Croatia!!

The Croatian Coast and Islands are stunning and it was very fitting to experience the coastline and surrounding islands in such a beautiful boat, The Romantic Star The Crew and Captain were very professional, polite , helpful and friendly. The boat was kept spotless and the quality of food was to a very high standard. A lot of thought had gone into our experience as it went by as smoothly as the calmness of the Adriatic. Swimming off the back of the boat in crystal waters and stunning backdrops was a daily highlight. The Captain always seemed to find a wonderful secluded spot, there was crew at hand to ensure everyone’s safety. The wine experience meant that we were taken inland to lovely vineyards, providing us to witness landscapes within the islands and to experience local and delicious wines. All our ventures and experiences were brought together by our amazing tour manager Ivana. Ivana was very thoughtful , insightful, enthusiastic and caring and a credit to Sail Croatia.

The food was excellent, lovely buffet breakfast, three course lunch every day with authentic local cuisine, We had a daily swim stop which was not only refreshing but gave us the chance to experience the coast line from a completely different angle, paddle board made it easy explore a long way along the cost line, We made many new friends, with other guest and crew, had wonderful experiences on Esperanza, it truly was a privilege to be on board big thank you to Vedran our guide and all the Crew on board Esperanza, would highly recommend we loved it 😎

Everything about our time on the Queen Jelena was perfect from start to finish. Our rooms were cleaned daily. The crew were extremely polite. The captain actually cared about his passengers and making our experience as memorable as possible. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Ivana was our tour guide and she went above and beyond for her customers. No question was too silly to be answered and she was very knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. Ivana even gave us advice about things to to after our elegance tour. I would highly recommend a trip on the Queen Jelena with the fantastic crew including Ivana.

The weather was very good, the boat was very clean, the Captain & crew were hard-working, friendly, helpful and professional. And our fellow passengers were great. The variety of tours on offer was good. We would have liked one night at anchor in a sheltered bay. And we would have preferred longer breakfast time from, say, 8am to 10am. The bed in our cabin wasn’t very comfortable, too hard a mattress for us. However all-in-all we had a great trip and we would recommend it to others.

We cruised from Split to Dubrovnik on Katarina, a beautiful vessel with a spacious cabin. The crew were amazing, always friendly and accommodating. Our host, Ioana was exceptional and.nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary was perfect and Ioana organised extra events such as group dinners, and reservations at bars in Korcula and Dubrovnik. This was impressive due to the smallness of the bars and how busy the ports were, that she could organise 30 plus people at short notice. The number of passengers on board was also perfect, we met wonderful people and had an incredible week away with unbelievable weather.

This cruise came highly recommended by a friend who has been twice and is already planning a third trip. It was such a spectacular trip! The pace was just what we needed. Breakfast and briefing in the morning, three-course meal at lunch. Swim stop in a protected area on our way to the next port. And then afternoon and evening in the town. We could be on our own or participate in one of several offered excursions while at port. We slept at port and then moved toward the next location. The sites were beautiful! The crew was amazing! They really made the difference ensuring that our trip was five-star. The food was absolutley delicious and more than we could eat! The room was very comfortable, although other than sleeping, we preferred to be on deck with fellow passengers and the crew. This was the perfect way to see multiple places in the lovely Croatia without having to navigate trains, etc.

The ship was stunning and kept so clean at all times. The tour Guide we had - Ivan- was fantastic and so much fun and very witty. The crew onboard the Ship Olimp were superb and so professional. The chef prepared wonderful meals and never dropped the ball. The wait staff were brilliant and the maid onboard was just so adorable and such a delight. They all did a remarkable job and kept an eye on all clients when at our swim stops. Safety was always first and the cabin we had was great. Our most memorable part of our holiday in Croatia. Thank you to all who made us so welcome and for all the new friends we have made. Would recommend to anyone looking to experience life on the water and this stunning destination.

Our friendly, helpful and very funny cruise director, Ivan, made it even more special. Highly recommend if you want a way to see the gorgeous Croatian coast from the sea, without dragging your luggage everywhere! The boat itself is very well-appointed and the stateroom was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

The boat was immaculately clean and served us very well as our home for 7 nights. There was a good feeling of camaraderie amongst the other passengers. I liked the fact we were from different corners of the world. Their friendliness made our holiday a great one to remember. A highlight of my holiday were the swim stops in secluded bays of refreshing clear water. We visited some wonderful places.

We had a truly unforgettable experience with Sail Croatia on Katarina! This family-owned, new boat is so well run, with thoughtfully designed rooms and efficient daily cleaning. Everything on the boat was so great and well organized that we could fully enjoy the uniqueness of each island we visited. The beautifully planned itinerary balanced daily swims at stunning beaches with island visits and activities, offering great variety and a perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. The buffet breakfast and amazing lunches were a highlight, with fresh, delicious food fueling our adventures. The warm onboard atmosphere made it easy to connect with fellow travelers and form new friendships. A special mention to Mia, our exceptional event planner, whose knowledge of each island felt authentic and whose clear daily presentations and restaurant recommendations made everything smoother. We highly recommend Sail Croatia on Katarina for a joyful, enriching sailing experience.

Romantic Star Cruise (June 21-29, 2025) Pros: -Ship was new and clean. -Swim stops were perfect. Cons: -Staff, except guide, looked unhappy (no smile). -Cleaning day didn't do a good job cleaning. Towel were not changed in the 7 days' stay. -Food was OK, not interesting. -Coffee and juices were charged if consumed outside the 1 hour for a meal time - outrageously cheap!! -Captain's dinner (lame) and dinner in town were had in Hvar, so we didn't get to eat out in beautiful Hvar. They should have been held in Dubrovnic (where we stayed 2 nights) and Planikovak (which didn't have good restaurants).

First off, Croatia is amazing! Pristine waters, beautiful architecture, and fantastic weather. Next, the Sail Croatia experience was fantastic! Truly one of the best vacations we've ever had was on the Katerina boat. It's beautiful, immaculately clean ( and I am not exaggerating one bit), 5-star meals, nice sized rooms, and so much fun! The staff are the best, always present to make your trip perfect. We made new friends from around the world, swimming every morning, gourmet lunches, then exploring the next island stop. It is the perfect holiday!
