My husband and I just wrapped up an incredible 7-day cruise on the Contessa with Sail Croatia and we highly recommend it. We really enjoyed the boat itself along with the other guests and the crew! The group vibe was a fun mix of active, like-minded people. Huge praise for the crew who made the trip unforgettable. Marin (the Cruise Director) was fun and full of great local insights. As amateur boaters, we were thoroughly impressed by Captain's Slavko's navigational skills in those small coves and trusted his decisions to adjust. Thanks Joy, the bar team and Tino, the Boat Hand as well. The island stops were stunning. We enjoyed the swim stops, an ad-hoc bike ride across the island of Korcula, the village tour with a longtime resident among many. One tiny improvement - we thought there would be more active activities such as kayaking from the boat. However, that didn't take away from the great week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the Contessa. The ship is very comfortable and the crew very competent and kind. I am sorry I don’t have names of everyone, but they were all so nice and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. Marin was our host and guide. He did a great job. He was welcoming, helpful, and full of information. He checked in regularly on how we were doing and whether we needed anything. he is very patient, friendly and calm. Our cruise on the Contessa was from September 23-30. Thank you all for making it. I truly memorable week.

We cruised with two other couples in late September on the Contessa and it was absolutely awesome! The weather was perfect. The food was great. The other travelers were so much fun and our tour director Marin went over and above to make our time incredible. Be flexible - we couldn't do Vela Luka and we didn't get to dock in Split but we were able to take an Uber there from Trogir for several hours and Makarska was a great substitute port.

- Amy, 02/10/2026 21:29, Travelled in a Couple

We had an unforgettable week on Contessa with Marin and all the beautiful crew made our holiday so special. We had a fabulous bunch of people who are more like family now and everyone was up for a great experience. Our itinerary was altered but the captain made decisions only to enhance our adventure. Our swim stops were magic in the bluest of blue water. Joy & Petra were absolute sweeties and Nano would always make sure we were happy and had what we needed. Tino & Charlie worked non stop maintaining the boat and the food couldn’t not have been better or more varied by Bane & Marlo. 5 stars all round, would definitely recommend

So much fun from beginning to end. Our director Marin was energetic, friendly, efficient, helpful and always smiling. My room was larger than i anticipated with lots of storage. Our housemaid, Joy, kept the room clean. Chef Zeljana Bane Marko prepared decadent, healthy, tasty meals. Captain Slavko navigated a safe passage. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the coffee.

I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world. Honestly, I’d live on the Contessa with this incredible crew if I could! This was my first solo trip, and as the only solo traveler onboard, I was nervous—but I never once felt alone. A huge shoutout to Marin, who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. He sat with me at lunches, was there whenever anyone needed him, and his knowledge and love for Croatia made the experience even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better ship leader (and he’d literally give you the hoodie off his back!). Petra & Nano were the BEST bartenders—sweet, fun, always joining our games and delivering drinks wherever we were. Tino & Charlie kept us safe, helped at every swim stop, and kept the music flowing. Captain Slavko was incredible and such a pleasure to get to know. Joy kept our rooms spotless, and Bane & Marko made some of the best meals of my entire Europe trip! Truly first-class service and an unforgettable crew, I hope to be back soon!

We sailed on the Contessa for the week of September 23rd. The yacht was magnificent. What made the trip so amazing was the entire group of people. We had so much fun and all connected really well. Not only was it a great group of people but the crew was amazing. Marin our tour operator was the best. He was such fun and helped keep us informed and was beyond helpful. All the staff especially Marin, Dino and Petra were incredible. Anyone thinking of sailing with Sail Croatia don’t even hesitate. It will be an unforgettable trip. Thank you to Marin and all the staff on Contessa. You worked so hard to make our week with you such fun and truly memorable.

Hana was the most wonderful guide. I was the only solo traveler on my explorer cruise and met the most wonderful people. The average age of the cruise was probably 50-60 but everyone was so kind. Those of us in the younger demographic became fast friends. The food was great, the staff was incredible, and the cruise was one of the best experiences of my life!

- Avery, 29/09/2026 11:35, Travelled Solo

An amazing week sailing the islands of Croatia! From the small island towns to the swim stops to the excursions; Salve made every day a new adventure. The Croatian people are very welcoming and each stop was more beautiful than the next. Weather was absolutely amazing which certainly helped. What pulled it all together was the crew of this boat. The captain was an expert sailor. We felt safe on the sea and his docking skills are amazing. So fun to watch! The variety of food each day was great. How’d they manage to make so much back in that tiny kitchen?! Rooms were well appointed and taken care of nicely. The deck crew was friendly, knowledgable and professional. Our Rep kept us busy and informed every day. Always there to answers to questions and give us great recommendations at every port. Thank you the staff aboard: Frane : our captain - Toma: our Representative - Richie and Tome our sailors - Marco and Vlaho our waiters/bartenders- Rojan and Elana our chefs-Julija our maid

Our Sail Croatia cruise was an incredible experience from start to finish! Amazing Cruise and Crew. The beautiful destinations, great food, fun atmosphere, and wonderful people made the trip truly memorable. We loved exploring Croatia by boat and meeting people from all over the world.

- Marion, 28/09/2026 17:00, Travelled in a Couple

We had such a great week on the Contessa. The daily swim stops in the crystal clear water were a highlight. Also renting bikes on the islands to explore and swim. The boat is beautiful and the rooms so spacious. Loved the upper deck with lots of room to sit and relax. Highly recommend this boat and gong in September for comfortably warm weather. The staff really made the experience wonderful. Marin, our Sail Croatia rep, made sure everything was taken care of and that we had the best time. Thanks to Joy, Petra, Neno, Tino and Charlie for your friendly smiles and for making sure we had everything we needed!

- Hanna, 25/09/2026 17:02, Travelled in a Couple

We felt welcome and so comfortable from the moment we met Marin on the dock prior to boarding. Nothing was too much trouble for Marin and his knowledge of the local area was fantastic. The boat itself is beautifully fitted out with everything you would need as your home away from home. The food was spectacular. The company amazing. Our crew (Marin, Petra, Neno, Tino, Charlie, Bane marko and Joy) made the trip so enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone even remotely considering Croatia as a holiday destination. It’s a great way to see the islands and beautiful swimming bays in style.

We went on the yoga cruise for a week in September and it was amazing. The yoga every morning was lovely and Dora was a great teacher who catered for all levels. The food on the boat was AMAZING, and there was so much of it. All of the crew were great, kind and attentive. Everything was communicated well and we loved exploring Croatia. I would definitely recommend this trip. I’d do it again in a heartbeat 🫶🏼 Thank you!

- Emma, 22/09/2026 10:50, Travelled with Friend/s

Croatia is beautiful and this is a great way to see it. The Almissa was ok- we had the A/C stop working whenever the room temperature was too far away from the set point. So it would stop working in the middle of the night, which was very inconvenient. Dora was fantastic and always available. The rest of the crew was pretty good. I don't know why but I expected the captain to engage with us more. He was often out on his own. The food was good. But there was often so much of it, that it felt wasteful sometimes. Swim spots were very good. Overall, I would recommend this if you are social and like exploring. If you often like to be alone, you may not have much fun as you are stuck with the same 35 people for a whole week.

We had a great holiday cruising along the coast of Croatia! We loved the smaller size of the cruise, it was nice to chat with other people on board but also felt like we had space to just relax on our own too. The swim spots and old towns were stunning. The food on board was 10/10 daily! We had no complaints overall!

- Anonymous, 21/09/2026 06:28, Travelled in a Couple

From the moment we stepped on board until the moment we left, this cruise was absolutely magical. The crew was beyond wonderful and helpful. They were kind and considerate, treated us like family. I was a little hesitant about the food on board since not the choices I was accustomed to but this was even better! The chef took pride in all he made and everything was delicious, we often were so full we often had a later dinner on the islands. And the chef was not alone, every crew member took pride in all they did. We felt so lucky to have them that some of us are hoping to do a reunion cruise and try to get the same crew! Croatia is beautiful and a week exploring the islands was perfect. The timing of each day eating, swim stops and island activities flowed effortlessly and we enjoyed each day. We were also fortunate to have a great group of passengers, many of whom plan to keep in touch. I suggest you don't hesitate & include this in your travel plans. Love shout out to our crew!

This was my second time sailing with Sail Croatia, having previously enjoyed the Elegant Cruise, but it was my very good friend and travel companion Kerry’s first time. We chose the Navigator route from Split to Dubrovnik. I’ll be honest, I had reservations as the ship was considerably older than my previous experience, but I needn’t have worried. We had the most fantastic week! The captain and crew were brilliant – friendly, fun and always happy to help. A special mention to our chef, Kole, who went above and beyond to cater for both our gluten intolerance. The food was amazing, and we never felt we were missing out. Thank you, Kole! Our rep Lola was lovely and so helpful when we got slightly lost. The swim stops, crystal-clear sea, beautiful scenery and excursions were fantastic, especially the buggy excursion! I loved that everything was optional, allowing you to explore, join activities or simply relax on board. The atmosphere was brilliant, with lots of fun, laughter and time

My explorer cruise on the Contessa was above and beyond my expectations. Cal, our cruise director immediately made me feel comfortable as a solo female traveler who knew no one else on the ship! He was helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and he definitely brought the fun! It was a life-changing week for me, the food, the sites, the new friendships I will not soon forget. Do the canyoning if you are fit and the Stari grad wine tasting was perfection!

This was an experience of a lifetime for me. We could not have had a better cruise director than Calum. He was so knowledgeable and FUN. Anything you asked him he followed up on. I truly hope our paths cross again. We were very lucky to have the group of Guests on board that we did. We made life long friends from all over the world.

Our trip from Split to Dubronik on the Contessa was magical. The swim stops and scenery were beautiful. Access to the swim floaties and paddle boards was a wonderful addition. The boat was recently renovated and fresh. The cabin was quiet and had an ensuite, and there was adequate storage. Staff was friendly, and Hannah had answers to our daily questions. At times, the food on board was a bit too hearty for me otherwise, the breakfasts and lunches were nice.

The captain and Vicko our guide were the absolute best in the business. I also have to say the ship was spotless, so clean and so organised. I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone as every member of the crew were faultless. The highlight each day are the swim stops at the prettiest of locations where the water is crystal clear and calm. The meals on board were fantastic and varied catering for everyone. Lastly the captains dinner was such fun, even if we were very loud we all had so much fun.

We are well-seasoned European travellers & this was our favourite trip so far. The staff made the trip for us, Marin would give us a history of the area and make suggestions as to where to go and things not worth exploring. He would also make any reservations necessary. Joanna & Neno made incredible drinks behind the bar - The Contessa and Pina Colado were my favourites! Teno and Charlie were the sailors on board and made sure everyone was safe and the boat was secure - also, incredibly friendly and helpful. Joy was pure joy - always accomodating when cleaning our room. The chefs were absolutely fantastic, I have never been to a country where I did not have one bad meal! The food on the boat was incredible. The boat itself was fantastic, rooms were roomy, bathroom was spotless and all the public spaces were spacious enough to get away if you wanted to be alone. Overall, this was the best travel experience I have ever had and would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

Our week on the Contessa walking around the Croatia islands was pure magic. So many things to love about it from the size of the boat, the variety of the stops and some nice simple excursions at each one not too expensive, the active days swimming and then beautiful lunches on board before exploring a different island and loved dining on shore each night. Our tour guide Hana was just wonderful and made our trip easy with daily advise, history and support with so many links and always there for anything we needed. Food was lovely and cabins a great size too. Can’t fault it, will go down as one of our best holidays

- Sally, 13/09/2026 09:19, Travelled in a Couple

Great. Was better than expected. So lovely to be with only a small group of 36 passengers to travel around on a refurbished, relaxing boat. Great having a different swim stop every day that you can dive off at the back of the boat. Also importantly exploring a new town/ island everyday and getting the opportunity to experience it in daylight and night time. So convenient having the boat moored so close to these historic scenic towns. Crew were fabulous, very attentive and in a way often invisible (I say that in a positive way in that they were very discrete and quiet in doing their duties). Hana our Tour Guide was excellent in her talks giving enough history and culture and practical tips. Her timing of talks and explanations of things to do and practical tips was spot on. She was always very attentive checking in with everyone and handling minor misunderstandings or hiccups (often to do with outside operator). Excellent range of activities Will be recommending to friends

My husband and I, and some friends cruised Split to Dubrovnik on Salve di Mare in Sep '26. We enjoyed it very much. The ship was beautiful. Our room was very comfortable. Our package included breakfast and lunch. The food was faultless! Both meals were excellent Breakfast consisted of hot and cold choices and was tasty,fresh and plentiful. Our three course lunch was impressive to say the least - restaurant worthy, tasty, fresh and varied. Hats off to the chef - he did an amazing job! Equally impressive was the bar staff - Marco and Vlaho! They knew every single name in the first hour ! And, they knew all of our preferred drinks by dinner! No request was too hard, or a bother for them. They were warm, welcoming and always smiling. Cheers to both of them Our cruise director Vicko was knowledgable and always willing to help. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering this cruise.

This cruise was the perfect balance of adventure, culture, relaxation, and time together. What I loved most was that the itinerary never felt forced. There were excursion options for everyone, while still giving us the freedom to explore, relax, or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The food was wonderful—from continental-style breakfasts to three-course lunches we looked forward to each day. The entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and supportive. A special mention to our cruise director, whose passion for his job and his country was contagious. Each day, he shared the history and culture of the city we were visiting, making every stop feel even more meaningful. We came to celebrate a milestone birthday with friends, but left with memories that went far beyond the celebration. The perfect way to experience Croatia, slow down, and truly enjoy the people you’re traveling with. ❤️

Magnificent! This trip exceeded my hopes & expectations. Even though I had heard from dozens of friends who traveled with Sail Croatia previously about the high quality crew, food, accommodations and service, I was still pleasantly surprised at how great everything was for the whole week.

We booked the explorer cruise on the Contessa ship and had a great experience! The ship was very nice and newly renovated. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful! The food and drinks were amazing. Marin helped us make dinner reservations and gave really great recommendations for things to do at each port.

This was my first time to Europe and first cruise and I am 75 years old. I had a fantastic time and would not have changed anything but wish I had done it earlier in my life. Sail Croatia checked all the boxes. Our host, Anita was fabulous and so helpful. We had a beautiful experience.

Our Sail Croatia honeymoon was absolutely incredible! Our boat, the Contessa, was beautiful and very comfortable, the itinerary was amazing, and every destination was unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery. The entire crew made the experience truly exceptional and they all went above and beyond to make our time on the boat special. Marin, our trip leader, kept everything running smoothly and made the trip so much fun. Neno and Jovana, our bartenders, brought amazing energy day and night. Tino a Charlie, our sailors, were always extremely helpful and friendly. Kristijana, our boat manager, always made sure everything was perfect. Joy, our maid, kept everything clean and comfortable throughout the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon or crew. Sail Croatia gave us memories we’ll cherish forever, and we highly recommend it! 5/5 stars without hesitation!

- Danielle, 05/09/2026 13:07, Travelled in a Couple

Croatia itself is absolutely stunning but what really made the trip was the crew. We got to know everyone throughout the week & they genuinely made the whole experience the best it could have been. Marin was the best. Always so happy, helpful & willing to go above & beyond for everyone. I especially loved his “me time”. Kristijana was amazing. Everything seemed to run so smoothly & you could tell how much work she was doing behind the scenes. Neno & Jovana were so canny. They were friendly from day one & somehow always remembered exactly what we liked to drink. Marko & Bane - The food was amazing every single day & they were so accommodating with my allergy. Charlie & Tino, are brilliant at what they do. They brought such a good energy to the trip while making everything look effortless. Joy was ridiculously nice and our rooms were always spotless. Slavko was brilliant. It was so nice getting to know the whole crew & genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Beautiful trip thru the islands of Croatia starting in Dubrovnik and ending in Split. Our cruise director, Anita was so kind and amazing! She always answered questions, explained the local culture, and set up side trips for us. The boat was comfortable with daily cleaning and I was thankful for the A/C! The swim stops were so incredibly beautiful that I have renamed my home WiFi to “swimstop” to honor them. Blue and clear every day! The food was so good and accommodated dietary restrictions for my friends. I miss the chef. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation with friends, Sail Croatia.

I can’t say enough good things about our trip, from the Captain to the Crew and most importantly, the Cruise Director, Anita. We had the most amazing experience and felt very well taken care of. The ship was always spotless and watching the Captain cruise into port and dock the yacht was a sight to see. The Crew worked so hard in assisting, making every detail seem effortless. The Chef always had a delicious 3-course lunch that was always a delight and left us satisfied all day. Anita was incredible and well organized. All adventures were well organized and detailed and made each day even more enjoyable. Anything we needed, we could count on Anita to direct us and make our experience even better than expected. We’re still smiling and enjoying our memories that’ll be with us forever!

This was a first for us and friends with Sail Croatia. Traveling on a smaller ship was amazing and the Kraljica Jelena was wonderful, made possible by the Captain and crew who diligently took care of the ship daily - cleanliness was on point. Also what made this adventure so amazing was the coordination of events, communication, and awesome attitude and humor of our crew coordinator, Anita Condic. She is an excellent representative of Sail Croatia and made everyone feel at home away from home. We loved our excursions and swim stops and enjoyed her sharing Croatia with us! We would highly recommend Sail Croatia and will keep future adventures in mind!

In a word, exceptional. Everything about our Salve Di Mare cruise was outstanding. The crew - including the amazing Hana - hit it out of the park. They could not have been more accommodating, helpful, and kind - Marco Polo, Polo Marco, Julia, Richard, the Captain - every single one was a textbook of stellar customer service. I've already recommended Sail Croatia to three friends who saw my FB postings. Thank you, team Salve Di Mare! Can't wait to return.

Sail Croatia was amazing. The Almissa was a wonderful boat with an incredible staff. Sanja, who was our cruise director, was so helpful and informative. The bartenders, Caesar and Kafka, were fun and attentive. The food was incredible. The swim stops were idyllic. I would highly recommend this company and this boat.

We chartered the whole ship twice- once in 2023 and again in 2026. Had so much fun having all of our friends (and other friends of friends!) all together. Queen Jelena staff is amazing all around and Anita- our Cruise Guide- was simply phenomenal! She was beloved by our whole group!! Thanks to the crew and Anita for making us feel so special for this amazing trip!

I can’t speak highly enough about this experience I had on Almissa with sail Croatia. It was so enjoyable and comfortable that the boat genuinely started to feel like home. From the people we met, to the destinations we sailed to, and the experiences we got to have, it made leaving on our last day very difficult. The entire staff on the boat, especially, were so dedicated to making our time the best it possibly could be that everything blew me away. 10000/10 staff. I don’t think I could recommend visiting this beautiful country any other way than by sail. I will be back on the almissa in the future.

We didn't know what to expect, but what we got was absolutely fantastic. Great boat, great crew, great boatmates. The food was exceptional, kudos to the chefs. The swim stops were a highlight, each day in a secluded or semi-secluded spot, sometimes allowing us to swim for hours! All around wonderful vacation, would highly recommend.

We had a great time on the sailing trip, and the staff really made the experience special. Everyone was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure guests had a good time. Their professionalism and positive attitude were definitely the highlight of the trip. That said, the cleanliness of the boat could use some improvement. While it didn’t ruin our experience, some areas felt like they could have benefited from a more thorough cleaning and a little more attention to upkeep. Excursions and swim stop locations were amazing. Truly once and a lifetime views. Food was delicious as well.

My week on the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise aboard the Contessa with my friend was truly unforgettable. From the planning and excursions to the beautiful islands and amazing food, everything was so well done. But what really made the trip special was the people. The crew created such a fun, welcoming environment that a boat full of strangers quickly felt like a group of friends and family. Huge thank you to Marin, Ivana, Neno, Joy, Charlie, Tino, Kristijana, Captain Slavko, Bane and Marko for making the week so memorable — and for keeping us very well fed and informed! I met some incredible people along the way, and by the end of the week, saying goodbye was genuinely hard. That says everything about the kind of experience Sail Croatia creates. I’m already talking about doing it again and bringing more friends and family next time. Croatia was amazing, but the people and memories are what I’ll remember most. ❤️🇭🇷⛵️ 10/10 — would absolutely do it again!

Contessa Crew - Marin & Team were absolutely amazing. From the 5 star food, rooms, activities, sightseeing to the 10 star service I received. I don't think this holiday can be topped! I will remember the crew and my new friends forever. See you again, soon.

I cannot speak more highly of Sail Croatia and the service they provided. We sailed the Contessa on the Explorer and it truly felt like you were on a yacht. Our tour guide, Marin, was absolutely the best. Not only did he always have good and honest recommendations, he made sure to accommodate your every need and request. Day of reservations? No problem, Marin took care of it. The food served was excellent, I left lunch everyday not able to finish all that they served. Our bartenders were also top tier. They truly mixed better cocktails than what we would have on land, shout out to Neno! A truly professional crew from the sailors to the housekeeper. I did not want to leave at the end of the week and wish i could have sailed with the crew for another week! Thank you Marin and all of the crew who curated the perfect experience!

Had a blast on this trip - exceeded my expectations. Beautiful boat, even better swimming stops and little towns we docked at. Shoutout to our guide Marin, who made the experience fun and seamless, the entire crew who did so much behind the scenes, as well as the chefs Bane and Marko who catered to my dietary requirements for every meal! Definitely recommend for solo travellers or anyone really!!

We had such a great week with Sail Croatia and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming, and they really made the trip special. Especially Marin our Sail Croatia guide. He was a brilliant tour guide, friendly, honest and great fun. He kept us up to date each day and gave us great tips on what to see, do and avoid. Bane and Marko’s food was fantastic — every meal was delicious, beautifully presented and there was always plenty of it! Ivana and Neno were always great behind the bar and made some fantastic cocktails, while Joy kept our cabin spotless. The whole boat was incredibly clean. A big thank you to Captain Slavko, Charlie, Tino and Kristiano for keeping everything running so smoothly and getting us safely around Croatia. We also loved the spa pool — perfect after a day exploring! All in all, we had a fantastic time and the crew really made the experience. We’d definitely recommend Sail Croatia and would happily do it all again!

I began this trip thinking it would be a ONCE-in-a-lifetime trip. It was so fabulous I would do it every year if budget allowed! The yacht was spacious and well-appointed. Our guide, Hana, was OUTSTANDING. Cannnot say enough good things about her concierge-type service, her kindness, and her stellar approach to guiding 31 guests through mulitple excursions, all with a smile. The chefs consistently put out 5 star meals, and our servers were attentive to every need. And the Croatian coast/islands are a beautiful ocean gem - other island vacation destinations pale in comparison. All put together, the result was memories that will last a lifetime.

This cruise was more than we could ever hoped for! Our room (Above Deck) was spacious and very comfortable. The dining room, lounge area and sundecks never felt crowded. The ship overall is very clean and well-maintained. The itinerary was well-balanced between active and relaxed (we leaned mostly on the latter side). We visited islands that had distinct vibes and characters. Kudos to Hana, our Tour Director, who was very thorough in providing us guidance and directions as we go exploring the islands. But our most favorite thing about the cruise was hands-down the daily swim stops. The captain took us to areas with the clearest and bluest waters. Richie made sure all our swim toys are ready to go, so we could all have maximum enjoyment in the water. The plentiful breakfasts and 3-course lunches were also quite the treat! Service was all-around warm and efficient. A huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful members of the staff for giving us such an amazing experience!

This was an incredibly memorable trip. The crew was excellent, helpful, hard working, and went above and beyond. Our tour guide Sanja did an excellent job of making this an amazing experience. She did such a good job of keeping everyone informed and organized. I did not expect the quality of the food to be so good! The chefs and bartenders do a great job of putting out delicious, well timed meals. The schedule is so well put together and balanced. Beautiful swim stops every day, plenty of time on the islands, and smooth sailing. Our cabin had more room than expected. Clean, cool, and enough space for my husband and I. Only complaint is the excursions. We enjoyed the wine tasting. But did not enjoy the bike ride, even though we were excited about it. Long walk uphill, not desirable swimming. Also didn’t enjoy the Dubrovnik walking tour. Didn’t understand our guide and the content was often irrelevant. That being said we’d do the trip 100 times again and would recommend Sail Croatia

Our cruise director Hana from Salve de mare went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our trip was enjoyable. The staff were very attentive and friendly to all our needs. Our daily schedule was perfect in providing a balance of cruising, swim stops and docking excursions. We will be booking our next trip soon .

We had the most amazing 7-day cruise from Dubrovnik to Split for our honeymoon and absolutely loved the whole experience. The ship was beautiful and had recently been refurbished, so everything felt fresh, modern and very comfortable. Our accommodation was lovely, the food throughout the cruise was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. One of our favourite parts of the trip was the itinerary and the regular swim stops. The places we visited were beautiful and there was a really nice balance between cruising, swimming, relaxing and getting off to explore. We did have to make one or two changes to the planned stops due to conditions, but this was handled extremely well by the captain. The alternative arrangements were well thought out and we never felt that we were missing out on anything. It was such a special way to spend our honeymoon and a fantastic way to see the Croatian coast and islands. We came away with some amazing memories and wo

We were on board Almissa and apart from the amazing itinerary and coastline we travelled I found Hana from Sail Croatia friendly, informative and extremely helpful. She was a bubble of joy. To the hard working sailors (deck hands, multi taskers) whose names I just can’t place thank you. The boat was handled beautifully and kept sparkling by you two. To the chefs… the food was lovely and I’ve definitely put on a couple of kegs haha. Caesar and Kafka you made the trip something to treasure… your friendliness and charm made us feel like family. To Josip the Captain. Thank you for your chats, generosity and for your exemplary handling of the boat. Also to Parva, meeting you was a treat and you’re a very special kind of person - one of a kind. Highly recommend this crew and the boat

We recently boarded the Tempera Cruise from Split to Dubrovnik, and we had such a fantastic experience! Our sail team was incredibly helpful and made us feel so well looked after throughout the trip. Our host, Andro, was honestly the best. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the islands we visited, and we really appreciated his honesty and recommendations about which excursions were actually worth doing. The only thing we wish had been included on our trip was the rafting experience! The crew did a fantastic job of making sure we had plenty of time at the best swimming spots, and they even adjusted our ports to minimise travel time on days when they felt we needed more time to explore the islands. We also loved the people we met along the way. Our cruise had a great mix of younger and older couples, and everyone got along so well, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you to the entire Tempera Cruise team for an amazing trip and so many great memories!

From the moment we walked onto Almissa our expectations were exceeded. The boat was clean and our room was spacious. It was evident early on that the crew was just fantastic. Hana greeted us and made sure from the get go that we had everything we needed or wanted. She was available for reservations, questions, and did a great job filling us in on each destination and providing restaurant and site seeing recommendations. She truly went above and beyond. Not to mention she's just a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. Kafka and Cesar made sure everyone had a great time. They would be up late chatting and sharing stories with guests and then up early each morning with a smile on their faces. The food was fantastic throughout. We were nervous that things would be bland or generic but they were anything but. Every part of this trip was fantastic, we would highly recommend.

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is absolutely beautiful, but sailing with the Sail Croatia ship and crew made the experience truly unforgettable. My partner and I were looking for a fun and stress-free vacation—and that’s exactly what we got. It was such a gift to wake up to sun and clear blue waters for seven mornings in a row and be greeted each day by the most warm and hospitable team, including our wonderful servers, and delicious food. Our Guide, Hana, also made the entire experience feel effortless. Her guidance, support, and genuine care made such a difference; from sharing the background of each island we visited, to organizing group happy hours and transportation, to recommending incredible places for dinner. She always seemed to have everything covered, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy being there. The combination of Croatia’s incredible scenery, the wonderful people, and the ease of the experience made this a vacation we’ll never forget.

I have traveled the world and usually do active adventure traveling, like hiking or biking. This vacation allowed me to relax, make few decisions, eat well, and play in the water and on land. I loved the paddle boards and floaties! The staff was amazing! The Contessa is a beautiful vessel! And all the locations were stunning! The only recommendations I have are to provide correct information: I was told I didn’t need to bring a beach towel and that additional bath gel would be helpful.

- Katie, 14/08/2026 09:05, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia was beyond amazing!! Klara, our cruise director was THE best!! She was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and fun! We loved the smaller boat! The amount of people on the cruise allowed us to feel that things were tailored to us! We loved the morning swim stops. The excursions were fun and reasonably priced! Breakfast and lunch on board were delicious! The chef was accommodating to distract restrictions. I do not eat a ton of fish which was a popular dish. They were willing to cook other things when notified about the dietary preference before the sailing. The rooms were spacious and clean! If we needed anything the staff was quick to help and get us what we needed. Overall one is the best trips we have taken! If you are debating on booking Sail Croatia- DO IT!! You’ll be happy you did!!

Had a fantastic time onboard Almissa from Split to Dubrovnik even in the heatwave conditions! Loved having aircon in our room to escape the heat at times. Food was great, cabins & ensuite bigger than we’d imagined, swim spots all beautiful, crew amazing (skipper Joseph, Ante & Kafka in the bar & serving us, Hana our tour director, kitchen & sailing crew, all absolutely amazing people! We could relax as much as we wanted, snorkel, swim, float, paddleboard off the boat (not when docked) or sign up for many other activities (extra cost). Having to ‘walk’ through other boats when docked was even a fun experience! We enjoyed exploring the coastal towns of an afternoon / evening. If you’re considering this cruise stop ‘thinking about it’ & do it!

We had an amazing experience. The crew and Josko were great. The rooms were great spacious and clean. The boat was very clean and staff was attentive. Couple suggestions would be if there was a. Way to keep the breakfast hot as it was cold by the time we ate. Be nice to have. Coffee through out the day and it be available earlier. The plants on the tables were nice but to big. When paying our bar bill it was difficult as we never saw or get emailed a receipt to show the breakdown. That might be something we should get before leaving a printed one. The bar attendants were so fun. The lunches were amazing. Only meal was the veal that was not good. Swim stops were beautiful. And staff was great setting everything up for us.to enjoy the swim spots. Josko was great helping us find the best places to eat and answered other questions we had. If it was a full boat I don’t think the hot tub would have worked for 36 passengers. We were lucky to only have 16 on board. Thank you to all

We travelled on the Almissa with a total group of 22 people to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. This was one of THE BEST TRIPS I have ever taken! We could not have been happier with the service, cleanliness of the ship, fun excursions, excellent food and drinks and exceptional crew! Captain Josip was the best! He sailed the Almissa perfectly, changing the order of our itinerary to best suit weather and wind conditions, giving us a perfect week of sun and beautiful weather. Our sailors Ivan and Capo took beautiful care of the ship, working tirelessly behind the scenes. Chefs Marko and Bogden prepared delicious meals with very large potions and beautiful presentation. Bartenders Kafka and Cezar prepared wonderful drinks while interacting with all of us in a fun atmosphere. We loved Hana our cruise director, she was THE BEST! She lovingly took care of all of our needs, provided us with history, information on restaurants and places to see, and even made a reservation for 22 of us!

We (boyfriend and I) traveled on Salve Di Mare mid July from Dubrovnik to Split. We regularly take trips/vacations and this has by far been one of our favorite. Barbara was wonderful as was the rest of the crew, especially our bartenders. Mornings were very relaxed on the boat and lunch was incredible every day. Arrived at each destination around 1-2 PM which left plenty of time to explore in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a slower paced way to visit the coast of Croatia.

I don’t have the words to clearly express how amazing the Almissa cruise was. I’ve travelled a lot and met many wonderful people, however Hana, our Tour Director, was special and will linger in my memory. It’s easy to provide information but Hana was honest about what was available to see or do and determined that everyone would have something they liked, but most of all she enjoyed every single person on board, listening to their stories about life and experiences. What a wonderful person! Sail Croatia is lucky to have her. The rest of the crew was also amazing, our Bartenders (aka waiters) were hilarious and so sweet, they genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time and it showed. The entire crew was amazing led by a Captain that knew when the winds were shifting and seas might get rough! The food was excellent, the Almissa is a beautiful sailboat. I loved my room, excellent comfortable bed. Would I go again? In a heartbeat, but I’d go because of the crew!!

An Awesome experience!! The Captain took us to amazing swim spots and kept us in schedule for all our stops. The crew was a pleasure to interact with every day! Hanna made sure the guests were always happy , well informed, and made our reservations for dinner and excursions. The bar tenders were entertaining and kept delicious drinks in our hands! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia , especially the Almissa!!

- Karen, 28/07/2026 13:59, Travelled with Friend/s

One of the most amazing weeks! The crew were incredible, the meals were delicious and the boat was so comfortable and clean. I love that we had swim spots everyday, the crew and guides were so helpful and gave so many Suggestions but you could also do as you pleased when you docked. The group chat meant we had our itinerary for the day and knew what our options were and when things were happening. A very easy way to see a lot of different islands, meet people and enjoy Croatian summer . Highly recommend if you love the ocean and want to see lots of the islands in Croatia 🇭🇷

- Katie, 27/07/2026 14:15, Travelled Solo

From the moment we arrived at the dock we were welcomed and our Vacation truly started. All bags were transported to our room. This was where we first met Hana, who took such good care of us throughout the trip. Hana introduced us to the Captain and Crew, and gave us all the information we needed to get the most our of our stay with Sail Croatia. From Hana's expert guidance throughout , to the Crew getting us situated for daily swim time and in and out of ports with ease and to the amazing drinks and meals prepared for us on the boat, we could not have been more pleased. Thank you all for all you do!

- Pamela, 27/07/2026 13:06, Travelled in a Couple

We had a wonderful time on the Contessa, Niko and the staff were wonderful. Decor was top level. The boat wasn’t full but we had a great group that had a great time together. We did ask to change rooms as it was very noisy when the boat was running.

- Anonymous, 24/07/2026 05:50, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing! Such a great trip. We seemed to have ended up with a much younger age group, but it couldn’t have been better. Our guide, Barbara, was so good. She brought us all together. Most of us are still in touch via WhatsApp and instagram! Don’t overthink if you are considering this trip, just do it!!!

It was a great experience overall and would love to do it again. Thank you

We absolutely loved our time with Sail Croatia. This is the best way to see and experience the Dalmatian islands. The food was incredible, the room and boat very clean and nice, and the host was gracious and super informative and helped us take advantage of the right excursions and our time on each island. The swim stops are the best! You won't regret choosing Sail Croatia!

- Lauren, 21/07/2026 12:45, Travelled in a Couple

I can't say enough about Sail Croatia and this amazing seven day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. It was so well organized, and all of the stops were beautiful and perfectly curated. It was the perfect blend of fun and adventure, with a great group of people. Highlights were the swim stop every day and of course, all of the beautiful Dalmatian islands with the Port towns and activities. The ship (Salve di Mare) and the accommodations were also fabulous. The rooms were spacious and each had their own bathroom. The meals were wonderful. The crew was so friendly and helpful and Our tour guide , with Sail Croatia (Vin) took great care of us. I couldn't think of a better way to see the Dalmatian coast than doing it this way!!!

- Andrea, 21/07/2026 10:40, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I had a blast on the trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure! We were easily able to pick when we wanted to sightsee, participate in more adventurous activities, or have a chill beach day. The boat exceeded our expectations; our room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. The waters and scenery of Croatia were stunning; the swim stops were some of the best parts of our trip. I was worried about getting on a boat with a shellfish allergy, but the kitchen staff was easily able to accommodate my allergy, as well as others on our trip (gluten free, pescatarian, etc). Additionally, our guide Vic was awesome; he was a wealth of knowledge about everything from the history and culture Croatia to where the best place to watch the World Cup would be. He presented many fun options of what to do on every island. It really felt like we had a private guide (who knew everyone) at every stop. If we could book to go again, tomorrow we would!

- Madeleine, 21/07/2026 08:01, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I and two good friends (another couple) spent a week on the Salve di Mare and it was magical. The beauty of the Dalmatian coast, the swimming off the boat, excellent food, and the excursions were perfect and unforgettable. The staff on the boat were also professional and so kind. They made everything go so smoothly and put everyone at ease. Sail Croatia was also fantastic—great communication and information armed us with clear expectations that somehow the Salve di Mare crew and beautiful Croatia vastly exceeded. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this trip on the Almissa. Perfect mix of cruising, swim stops and visits to beautiful islands. Staff were great, food was delicious and we had a great group of people onboard with us. Fun side trip options if you want them. Plenty of sunloungers upstairs for everyone. Only give it 4 stars as cabins are fairly basic but you don’t spend much time in there anyway - they were perfectly fine with plenty of room to store things. So good being able to unpack for a week and enjoy the cruise.

- Cheryl, 20/07/2026 09:02, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent holiday with good room and great food. Staff were helpful and pleasant The only criticism is that the last day sailing was in Split and felt as though the holiday had ended 1 day early. I would have preferred to visit another island.

- Tracy, 17/07/2026 18:04, Travelled with Friend/s

I traveled with my partner on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise and we could not have asked for a better experience! Such an amazing way to see the Croatian coastline with a variety of excursions available. Our crew and tour manager were so accommodating and personable! The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. I could not recommend Sail Croatia enough!

- Brittany, 14/07/2026 21:24, Travelled in a Couple

Totally worth every penny! The crew on Princeza Diana was amazing. Dani, Tea, Marko, Ilona and the rest were amazing. Even brought us drinks while we floated in the sea at swim stops. Cabins were clean & comfortable and AC was perfect.

- Leighanne, 13/07/2026 09:56, Travelled with Friend/s

From the start the crew were extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was immaculate and stylish, the cabin was spacious and comfortable. We were not disturbed by noise from the boat or other people. Nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary worked really well, there was enough down time to relax, sunbathe and swim. The excursions added a fun dynamic to the trip and were mostly fun and exciting. We did cycling, kayaking, wine tasting, zip lining (the best!!) plus plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian towns which I hadn’t expected to be so charming. There was plenty of choice of restaurants and bars and our crew gave us recommendations on where to eat , even making reservations for us. The food on board was delicious, make sure you advise about dietary restrictions at the time if booking so that they can plan ahead for you. We were extremely lucky that the people on board were fantastic. We all bonded really well which made the experience very special…… a cruise family!!

- Jan, 13/07/2026 06:02, Travelled in a Couple

We sailed on the Contessa. The ship and crew were amazing. Our room was comfortable and more spacious than we had anticipated. The entire ship was spotless. The breakfast buffet always provided a nice variety of choices. The lunch menu changed each day and every meal was delicious. Tour manager Nickos gave us great information each day and worked hard to make sure all guests enjoyed each port. Bartenders Martin and Nino kept us well hydrated and were a lot of fun. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Great small boat experience with swimming stops, and small town adventures lead by a wonderful leader Klara. She was super helpful and guided us to lots of fun. Really liked eating out at restaurants almost every evening. Really liked the food onboard and especially appreciated getting Gluten Free food which I needed. The staff onboard was exceptional. Highly reccommend.

- Susan, 09/07/2026 18:02, Travelled in a Couple

This was an amazing experience to share with my friends- 16 of us on the Almissa. Hana, our cruise coordinator was amazing, and very knowledgeable on the local history, the food was excellent, and the crew were very accommodating. This combined with the amazing crystal blue waters to enjoy on our daily swim spits was the perfect holiday. Loved every minute 🤩

We traveled as a group of 16 friends on Almissa for 7 days and it was magical . The staff were amazing and so welcoming and had us in fits of laughter. Hana was just an absolute pleasure and I enjoyed getting to know her and the team . Would love to return and do it again one day

Sali Croatia on Almissa exceeded our expectations. All the crew were amazing. Caesar and Kafka kept us entertained in the bar. Captain was friendly. The chefs were outstanding.. Our tour guide, Hanna I would highly recommend to anyone she was very informative with the history at each of our stops was very kind and friendly and helpful in recommendations for dinner and excursions. If we sail again, I would request to have Hanna.. Almissa was a very beautiful boat . Thanks Saul Croatia

My husband and I chose sail croatia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed warmly by Sanja our cruise director. From the minute we walked on board we felt like a family. The crew was so welcoming and the boat was beautiful. Sanja was most pleasant and attentive throughout the cruise. Vlad our chef for the week outdone himself. The food was outstanding. The bartenders were also so pleasant. Our group bonded like a family and spent multiple days and nights together. The pace of the cruise was perfect. The choice of islands and suggested activities were amazing. By the end of the week we were so sad to leave our sail Croatia family. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to relax, is up for an adventure and wants to meet new friends. Also, request Sanja as your sail Croatia guide. Thanks, Sarah and Dan Link

- sarah, 07/07/2026 15:42, Travelled in a Couple

My husband & I had the best time onboard The Esperanza cruising from Dubrovnik to Split. We were lucky to have a small group of 14 onboard and we formed friendships quickly. The crew & tour leader, Sanja, went above & beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend this trip.

This was an amazing cruise & a great way to see the beauty Croatia offers. From the yummy food, to the incredible swim spots, & our fantastic guide Hana who was always there to help, our trip was one to remember. We’ll be back Almissa ❤️

- Shaneane, 07/07/2026 09:45, Travelled with Friend/s

What an amazing experience sailing around the beautiful islands of Croatia. Our trip started in Slpit & end ended in Dubrovnik. We stopped at 5 amazing islands along the way. The boat guide Andro was incredibly knowledgeable about each island’s history & what it had to offer and gave suggestions on activities and restaurants along the way. The crew were great however my only suggestion would be it lacked a female’s touch (all male crew) 😅. Eg room cleaning & also lack of salad at lunch time with massive serving of 3 course meal at lunch (the men very happy). I would highly recommend Sail Croatia it definitely exceeded our expectations.

- Kaz Easton, 07/07/2026 08:04, Travelled with Friend/s

Oh Croatia - what a BEAUTIFUL country you are!! We sailed on the Almissa from Dubrovnik to Split abd then took a bus back down to Dubrovnik for our return flight home. You really couldn’t have asked for more! Food was amazing, service was outstanding and the scenery was fairytale like!!!

- Kathy, 06/07/2026 21:14, Travelled in a Couple

We had an amazing experience with Sail Croatia, travelling on the Almissa, Hanna our guide was an absolute pleasure to have on board, all her information on our island stops was informative and her assistance with booking anything inland was a bonus. Especially her recommendations for walking and hiking trails. She really made our time on the boat stress free, The swim stops where beautiful. The bar staff Causer and Kafka were very attentive and entertaining. The staff exceed our expectations and made the cruise memorable, I’d definitely recommend sailing with the Almissa to everyone

We traveled on Salve Di Mare from June 27 to July 4, and our experience was simply spectacular in every way. The kindness and professionalism of every crew member, the impeccable cleanliness, and the unforgettable food all exceeded our expectations. Everything ran on schedule, allowing us to enjoy every excursion—although we often wanted to stay on the boat because it was so comfortable and enjoyable! A special thanks to our guide, Josip, who was always there to help us with anything we needed. The entire crew was amazing from start to finish. Thank you all for making this such a perfect and unforgettable trip!

Croatia is so beautiful and this explorer cruise was well set up to help us experience it. Klara our host was a local who kept us well informed and made all our excursions work like clockwork. The crew was great and The Contessa was newly renovated. Great experience all round.

We travelled as a group of three and were blown away at how amazing the crew was. Our chef was amazing and didn’t make a bad meal, crew were very helpful and accomodating. Whether you want to explore each island, stay on deck and relax or something in between - there’s something for everyone. We had ages 22-65+ on board and enjoyed the mix of perspectives and experiences. Would happily rebook

- Lenhy, 05/07/2026 10:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia was amazing. We were doing a bit of a Europe tour; Greece, Croatia and Italy. Croatia was the middle of our trip and the highlight. Doing Croatia through a sail tour meant we got to see so many places and didn't have to think about transport and accommodations at all. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. Also, the food was so good. We never wanted to leave.

- Aimee, 05/07/2026 10:29, Travelled with Friend/s

My husband and I had never been on a cruise before. Sail Croatia has set the standard high. Beautiful ship, excellent staff, delicious food and unmatched scenery. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Representing Croatia, you can be sure this company will take good care of you. We will be talking about this for years. Thank you Mario. Thank you Tea. Thank you Denny.

Don’t even hesitate about booking this trip. We sailed on the Princess Dianna for 7 days with a crew that bent over backwards for us to make sure we had a good time. The food was amazing everyday. Mario was our main tour guide. Mario is extremely knowledgeable about the areas that we visited and just a great guy to hang out with. Our bartenders and wait staff-Teia and Danny- also took care of us getting us any and many drinks. Thank you to the entire staff for making this trip so memorable.

I had the best week on my Explorer cruise, the Almissa! I am a 28 y/o female and was traveling solo, and I was worried about having other solo travelers and people my age there, but it worked out perfectly! There was a large age range on the boat (late 20s to early 70s), but everyone was so fun and we all got along so well. We felt like family by the end! I was a bit nervous to book because there weren't many photos online of the boat and the agents I chatted with and emailed beforehand were very unhelpful. However, once I arrived, the crew was awesome and the boat was beautiful. The cabins were way bigger than expected and the common areas had been renovated! Breakfast was mediocre, but the lunches were overall impressive. I am gluten intolerant and I was incredibly impressed by how well they handled this and adapted meals for me. I will say, drinks on board are very expensive (€5 for a coke and €15 for a cocktail), but they were good. I've already recommended this to my friends!

We had a big group of family and friends recently travel on a Sail Croatia trip from Dubrovnik to Split. It was a great experience. The crew on the Salve Di Mare were wonderful and we loved our tour director Sasa. I highly recommend this cruise.

- Laura, 29/06/2026 09:09, Travelled with Friend/s

The Sail Croatia trip was great. Beautiful swim stops, interesting fellow travelers, and no shortage of food or drinks. Good value for money, and leaves you wanting more time in Croatia. A few things I would change: The amount of time spent in port towns. We were really only in a port during the late afternoons and at night, and it would have been really nice to have more daytime to explore the islands and towns. There's a lot of food waste on the boat. Every lunch had three courses, and they were huge and quite heavy. One or two courses, or the ability to opt in or out of certain courses, would reduce food waste. Also, the house wine on the boat was from two huge plastic jugs on the floor behind the bar. It was super sweet and undrinkable. It would have been nice to have the option for a glass of decent house wine, instead of having to purchase whole bottles.

- Amy, 28/06/2026 18:57, Travelled with Friend/s

We’ve just come back from our second sailing adventure around the stunning Croatian Islands on the Salve Di Mare, and it truly exceeded our expectations; everything was perfect. We had an incredible time, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones along the way. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew for making our journey so happy and unforgettable. Their service, dedication, and genuine sense of fun throughout the trip were absolutely top-notch! A huge shout out to; Sasa, Marko, Vlaho, Bogan, Zadojko, Julia, Captain Frane, Fadil & Rici, you are all amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend this sailing voyage to everyone. We’ve returned home feeling relaxed and filled with many happy memories that we will cherish forever. We boarded the boat as strangers and disembarked as friends… THANK YOU!

Spectacular week on board the Mali Ante Explorer cruise! Went on some excursions, skipped others, was never unhappy about where I ended up. Seemed impossible to make a bad choice between the pristine sea, the INCREDIBLE crew, and all the picturesque seafront towns my heart could desire! Not generally a big cruise person but this didn’t feel like that at all, aside from the convenience of not having to plan a single travel logistic ourselves. It all felt friendly and personal and like the perfect size group to make some friends, learn everyone’s name, but have plenty of opportunity for privacy too. Below deck room w/twins was perfect for two besties and actually much larger than I expected—just bring earplugs for the morning engine noise and you’ll do great. Again have to say a fabulous crew made it feel really special. Put it this way: if you like to like things you will find it easy to like this vacation! Highly recommend mid/late June for crisp water and perfect daytime temps.

Loved our trip on Sail Croatia. Great boat. Plenty of space. Above deck rooms were a really good size. Good size bathrooms. The crew were awesome. Loved all the meals without exception. Sail Croatia….would be good to have more information about embarking and disembarking locations before the trip so we could book accommodation accordingly.

We just returned from the Sail Croatia Explorer trip and cannot say enough about the incredible experience. The boat is new and the cabins were roomy. From the very first day, our cruise director Borna went above and beyond. He and the crew ensured every meal accommodated my gluten allergy. He shared fascinating local history and tips at every port we visited during our morning briefings. The excursions offered were fabulous and well coordinated. We had plenty of time to explore in every port. The highlight of our trip was celebrating our anniversary on one of the islands. Borna took the extra care to call ahead and arrange a romantic table with a breathtaking view of the sea, a gesture that made the evening truly unforgettable. The passengers from all over the world are now lifetime friends. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone, without hesitation. We are spoiled forever and could never take a big cruise ship again. Five stars, easily!

- Terri, 22/06/2026 15:17, Travelled in a Couple

The trip was incredible. The Sail Croatia team and cruise staff mixed the learnings of the rich history of the region and created an environment for connections with the other guests on the boat! Great way to celebrate my birthday with my twin and our posse of couples!! So memorable!

Another AMAZING week cruising through the Dalmatian islands. My husband, Bill, and I found Sail Croatia back in 2017 and did our first week in 2018. As Bill says “it’s the easy button.” A handful of years later we wanted to go again, so we booked a week on the Salve di Mare. Wow! Another incredible week some little details had even improved from the first time. We became friends with several other guests from the far reaches of the world, stayed in touch, and my Aussie friend, Kirstyn, and I schemed a return. 7 of us from the 2023 trip returned this year (more had planned to, but life got in the way). Klara was our guide in ‘23, and there was some concern that this year’s Sail Croatia rep might not live up to her, but Saša was up to the challenge. He was friendly, approachable, funny, and informative. It really felt like he cared about each of us. The whole crew of Salve di Mare (Captain, sailors, chefs, waiters, housekeeper… ) were professional, kind, and hardworking. ❤️Sail Croatia!

Sail Croatia is a terrific option for anyone. It is a truly unique experience that allows you to see so much of the Dalmatian islands. A perfect balance of being on sea and land. Our ship was a good size offering both areas to socialize and quieter spots.

The seven night cruise in Croatia was an enjoyable experience. We saw different islands, daily swims and enjoyed the staff. The food was good and was typical Croatian food, lots of meat. If you are vegetarian they will accommodate you. If you like to float on a float during the swim stops bring your own floatation as there are limited choices.. Couple things I would change are the mattresses on the beds. They were very lumpy and hard on my body. I think more towels should be given to the passengers as they only do one exchange for the entire week.

The staff on Contessa were excellent.. helpful and friendly. Lola was very organized and always available to answer questions or assist with restaurant reservations and suggestions. 10 out of 10.

It was me and my husband’s first cruise. We had a great experience that exceeded our expectations. The boat has a modern decoration, the room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The crew were very professional and friendly. Lola “the cruise director” organized all the excursions and gave us many tips about the best restaurants, bars, and even ATMs, she’s very professional and sweet. I highly recommend Contessa cruise, a 5 stars experience.

We just absolutely loved our cruise. We felt like we had an actual holiday. Spent our mornings cruising to a swim spot and the afternoon and evenings exploring new islands and villages. Food and staff incredible.
