We had the best week sailing and cycling the Croatian Islands. The guides and crew were all extremely friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. Special thanks to the chef as the food was delicious. We were blessed with a brilliant group of like minded travellers to enjoy the cycling and down time with.The Islands are stunning.

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

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

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

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

I loved all the rides...and the electric bikes were wonderful. We had excellent guides: Guide Ana gave us some great history information for of all the places we toured. Guide Andre kept the pace going and prepared us very well for each phase of the bike ride. The food was ok but needs to be updated. The salad lunch buffet was the best meal served. Guest wants light food--not soups when the temperature is hot outside or creme cake desserts at the end of every meal. . Food was tasty but the chef needs to cook for 2025--NOT back in the 1980! Otherwise--excellent trip and I will highly recommend the trip to all my friends. I would go on another but at a different location.

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

Just returned from a cycling cruise with Sail Croatia and it exceeded every expectation. The experience was seamless, adventurous, and full of heart. Huge shoutout to our incredible guides, Tonka and Sanja — a true dream team. Tonka’s biking expertise and Sanja’s rich regional knowledge elevated every moment. Their chemistry, energy, and care made the journey unforgettable. The onboard crew was just as fantastic — thoughtful, attentive, and always ahead of our needs. They found incredible swim spots and created a welcoming, relaxed vibe from day one. The group dynamic was a joy thanks to Tonka and Sanja’s humor and warmth — we bonded fast and felt like family. And the food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. This trip struck the perfect balance of challenge, culture, and comfort. I can’t recommend it enough — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Tonka and Sanja as your guides.

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

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

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

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

This trip aboard the Mali Luka was amazing. We are big time cruisers and usually sail with big ships like Princess. We've done one Viking cruise but this one was so amazing. There were only 28 total passengers and we all got along great; it's like they hand picked people that all had the same outlook and personality. The rides each day were to the most beautiful areas I've ever been to. The e bikes made even the steep uphill climbs easy. We were given options on some of the days to stop or to continue our rides (some even choose to not go on some at all). Our ride crew Miranda and Matilda were so great; always looking out for us and keeping us safe with perfect pacing. Sitting on the top deck while we cruised along was my favorite part. We choose the bottom deck cabin which was super small and tight. No complaints by anyone on any level about noise from other ships. The crew worked very hard (not super friendly but friendly enough). Captains dinner was nice; very nice guy.

The bikes, guides and staff were all great. The only hassle was finding which way to go at the bus station on arrival but apparently from that everything else was smooth sailing

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

The crewmates and tour guides were wonderful always being very nice. Everyone on the islands we went to already respected them. They gave off the coil camp counselor energy allowing kids to be kids and still do fun stuff while also keeping everyone safe.

I recently returned from a cruise in Croatia. From start to finish, it was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and jaw-dropping beauty. Scenery: Absolutely stunning. The Coast is everything you’d imagine—crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, charming old towns, and lush green islands. Staff: The crew was incredible—friendly, professional, and always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Food: Delicious! Every meal was a treat, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a variety of options. From fresh seafood to Croatian specialties, everything was beautifully prepared. There was always something new to look forward to, and they catered well to dietary needs, too. Activities: One of the highlights for me was e-biking around the different islands. It was such a fun and effortless way to explore off-the-beaten-path villages, vineyards, and scenic coastal roads. All in all, this Croatian cruise exceeded my expectations in every way.
- Tiffany, 30/06/2025 05:38, Travelled with Friend/s
Such a fun , relaxing , good food , great staff ! Well organized trips. The e-bikes had enough power to climb the steep hills. The small quaint towns on the islands were friendly with amazing food.
- Sandy, 27/06/2025 15:32, Travelled with Friend/s
Ivan and Lucy were phenomenal guides. They took us to beautiful out of the way places. They took time to research ahead of time the most authentic Croatian experiences. We got to meet local people and experience their way of life. All while experiencing incredible scenery on off the beaten track roads. They were encouraging and nurturing. Felt very safe and supported on the bike rides. Lucy was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and her stories were very educational. Getting back to the boat was always a treat because Andre knew what we wanted to drink, and the meals were delicious. The ports were small and cozy feeling. Swimming off the boat was spectacular, the water was so clear and brilliant. The other passengers were equally delightful and interesting. We couldn't be more pleased.
- Joanne, 26/06/2025 13:32, Travelled in a Couple
Our guides Dora and Matilda were fabulous! 8 days of fun, laughter, beautiful sights, history stories, and guided experiences. Would give them both 10 stars if I could ✨️
- Michelle, 25/06/2025 13:44, Travelled Solo
I had an amazing experience on the bike-cruise in Croatia with guides Miranda and Martin from SailCroatia. There are three main reasons why I enjoyed the trip so much: First, the bike routes were perfectly planned by Miranda, who was the mastermind behind our rides. She took us through beautiful coastal views, protected areas, and charming seaside villages. Second, both Miranda and Martin were very professional and patient, adapting to the different cycling levels in our group. Martin was also a great support and our cultural-historical guide, always sharing interesting and brief facts about each place we visited, which was fantastic. Finally, the daily briefings were very helpful. They gave us detailed information about the bike routes, swimming opportunities in crystal-clear water, and recommendations for activities and restaurants at each stop. This made it easy to choose what to do in the afternoons. Overall, the bike-cruise was amazing! Highly recommended!
- Maribel, 25/06/2025 13:25,
This trip is the best 7 day trip I have ever done. The crew on Dionis were amazing, Mat’e, Ellis & Eric & Keno keep us safe & sound while sailing, Azra & Eno were amazing with the most delicious food, glad we were biking every day as I’m sure I eat more than I should😂😂 Then our super guides Dora ( the explorer) & Matilda, you couldn’t have done more for us, you were kind & caring with a fantastic sense of humour, thank you so much, loved you girls❤️❤️❤️ the scenery that we saw and the villages, islands we went to were absolutely breathtaking. To anyone thinking about doing this trip, just do it, you won’t regret it❤️❤️

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

This was my first solo holiday and from the initial welcome by Calum to the wonderful landscapes and food it was just a joyful experience. I always wanted to visit Croatia and whole team on the boat made it something I will never forgot. Well planned routes, safety guidance and supportive comments from Ivica to get me up the hills on to the hybrid bike. Can’t stop telling everyone about it. Hope to be back again. 😃
- Ann, 24/06/2025 19:41,
The entire crew for our Sail Croatia trip had endless energy and created more than a trip-they built a Sail Croatia Family. The bike rides were tailored to the group. The swim stops along the way were amazing! The entire crew had fun personalities and went out of their way to make sure everyone's needs were met. The meals were magnificent. Best trip ever!

Our guides, Martin and Miranda, were fantastic! They were skilled cyclists, very knowledgeable about the area and the history, and very patient with our group too.

Our tour directors Miranda and Martin made this a most enjoyable trip. They were patient, informative, and prioritized safety when cycling.

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to see Croatia in a unique way while simultaneously getting some exercise.

Ivan and Lucija, our tour guides, and Adrian, our salon manager, made our sailing trip one of the most memorable and magical experiences we’ve had. Their knowledge of the history, island life and customer service were high level. We always felt taken care of wherever we were. They always ensured we were given the best experiences possible. We appreciated Ivan’s extra local experiences to the caves, wine tasting, submarine tunnels. Lucija’s history knowledge and help with dining options were great. Adrian always took care of us in the salon. The three made a great team. The rest of the crew were also excellent; courteous and helpful in every way.

We just finished a wonderful week of sailing & cycling onboard the Afrodita. The crew were amazing and made our holiday extra special. The ship was lovely and cabins were as expected on a sailing ship — on the cozy side. Our tour/cycling guides, Ivan and Lucija made our trip exceptional. They were extremely thoughtful to ensure we all had a wonderful experience no matter our cycling level. Their morning briefings, their attention to each guest while cycling & their genuine desire to share Croatia with us made everyday outstanding! They were the stars of our trip!! Thank you, Ivan and Lucy!!

Cycling cruise was beyond our expectations! Our guides, lucija and Ivan, were awesome! So knowledgeable and friendly. They geared our rides to what the guests wanted and shared experiences with us that we didn’t expect. They made the trip great! The food was very good. I would recommend this trip to friends! We had such a good time and can’t wait to go back. My husband is telling everyone to take this trip!

What made the trip memorable were fantastic guides Malin and Andro, chef, and amazing service staff. Rides were with beautiful scenery and a good pace. Malin guided us with safety and confidence. Always thorough explanations of the days activities and options. The main star though is the Adriatic Sea. Lots of swim stops in its clear blue waters refreshed riders everyday.

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

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

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

We had the most amazing time on the June 2, 2025 Split to Dubrovnik sailing adventure. Our guides Lucije and Andre were perfect. Not only were they professional, always stressing safety, but their knowledge and infectious personalities made for a perfect time. I can honestly say that the group of 32 passengers will never have as great an experience as what we had. The ship’s crew were amazing as well. Sailors, chef, manager, captain, and bar manager were all exemplary. Thank you all for giving us such an unforgettable time.

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

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

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