Our experience with Sail Croatia was simply spectacular. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, the boat was spotless, and the route was breathtaking. The food onboard was delicious every single day, with fresh and varied options that exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Lucija, our guide, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and detail-oriented at all times. She made sure we felt comfortable, well-informed, and enjoyed every stop and activity to the fullest. Her warmth and professionalism truly made a difference. Overall, a first-class experience: excellent service, stunning scenery, delicious food, and a crew that genuinely cares about their guests. I would absolutely recommend it 100%!

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

Thanks everyone I will be spreading the word how wonderful this trip is Bernadette 🙏☀️

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!!
- Trish, 05/08/2025 05:21, Travelled in a Couple
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.

We just finished an amazing week aboard the Queen Jelena elegance cruise. The boat was beautiful and the crew were very friendly and helpful.

Would highly recommend!

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.

We have just spent an amazing 7 nights on the fabulous Queen Jelena sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. The crew, food, scenery, our new friends and especially our tour guide Ivana made this a week we will never forget. If you are thinking about doing a trip with Sail Croatia … do it!

From the very beginning it was top notch. The crew, our cruise director and Capain went out of there way to make everything feel like we were special. The food was very good, the swim stops were awesome, and the excursions were well planned out. We met people on day one, by day 7 we were friends. Even planning another experience with them. If you have doubts, just do it! You won't regret it.

We sailed a 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia. The boat is called Katarina & it is part of the Elegance line. Captain Ivan, his staff and the cruise director were so welcoming and attentive. We had amazing swim stops every day, visited beautiful islands and had plenty of time to enjoy them. The boat is beautiful, new, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. I was sad to see the trip end and I would go again, if possible.
- Toni, 22/07/2025 23:19, Travelled with Family
Everything came together to create the perfect holiday - the stunning landscapes, the refreshing swim stops, the delicious food, and the beautiful cruise. What truly elevated the experience was the wonderful crew, especially the amazing team at the salon, and our exceptional guide, Dino. Their warmth and professionalism made every moment even more special.

Our tour manager, Ioanna, was the shining star of the cruise. She is very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history, top things to do on each island, always goes the extra mile and consistently to ensure guests are well versed in all possibilities, she over delivers on every aspect of the role and has a great communication style, very light and funny. The crew is wonderful as well, very hard working and dedicated to their jobs. The cook staff was incredibly talented, and meals were delicious. And the captain was just lovely. Definitely one of the cleanest sails I have ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Olimp, it’s a family-owned boat and the Captain is the son of the owner.
- Amy, 22/07/2025 17:41, Travelled with Family

We had an absolutely fantastic time. Our Cruise Director Ioana was so professional, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her to organise. She was always available and communication was great. The crew were great, efficient always smiling 😃 and friendly. Almira and Ivo were very attentive in the dining and bar areas. Hard working crew all around the sail crew were great in getting the best swim stops every day and Nickoletta was wonderful with housekeeping. The Chef and his sous chef prepared delicious food for us and the variety was excellent and very tasty. Thank you SAIL CROATIA for an amazing trip. We made some special friendships and all the places we stopped along the way were great with many different experiences.

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.
- Michele, 22/07/2025 12:47, Travelled in a Couple
There wasn’t one aspect of our trip on Olympia with sale Croatia that wasn’t spectacular. The ship was absolutely breathtaking and so well cared for… Stunning beauty. The crew was amazing, so friendly and helpful and kind. Our cruise director. Ionna was amazing. She worked so hard to ensure everybody had the best possible excursions available and was constantly flexible and helpful with situating everyone and their choices… So many options and such a great fun. The food was every day better and better, which was hard to improve upon because each meal was spectacular. The people we shared the trip with were wonderful as well… Friendly, kind fun… Overall highly recommend as a great way to see Croatia and the islands and mix in relaxation and Adventure as well

Crucero de pocos pasajeros, atención personalizada. Excelente itinerario. Lugares qye visita son imperdibles. Tripulación muy atenta y servicial. Especial mención para Dino y Martina que estuvieron dedicados a atendernos, ayudarnos y proporcionando alegría y entretención . Capitan muy experto y fue muy grato participar con él en la noche del Capitan. Sugerencia: tener más elementos inflables para nadar en el mar. Y el día de inicio del crucero realizar alguna actividad para que pasajeros se conozcan.

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.
- Denise, 17/07/2025 10:32, Travelled in a Couple

We've just had an amazing week on Esperanza cruising round the Croatian Islands. We did Split to Split South. It was 5 stars all round! The boat was beautiful, the crew where outstanding and couldn't do enough for us, the group of passengers were great and the scenery just superb. The Dalmatian Coast is stunning and very stop was special in it's own way. We will definitely be cruising with Sail Croatia again and can't recommend them enough. I will say, please be aware of the expected tipping!

We loved every minute of our cruise and it felt that we were on a luxury charter cruise, visiting amazing places, architecture. The wine tasting at every destination was brilliant and interesting. The food on board was excellent and top quality. Our tour manager Ivana was excellent and very friendly and informative, and made sure we had the best time. The captain and crew were all very helpful and made sure we were safe and well looked after. The cabin was very comfortable, clean and quiet. I would certainly go on another trip with Sail Croatia again!

Excellent crew and Cruise Director. Our route and itinerary along the Dalmatian Coast, including visits to the islands with their beautiful towns (such as Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar) was well planned and spectacular, Quiet, easily accessible moorings overnight. I also very much enjoyed the swim stops. The yacht, Esperanza, is well maintained and comfortable. Delicious onboard food. Very lucky with our travelling companions.

The only way to see the coastline is clearly via a boat. Sail Croatia offering was lovely. I enjoyed the crew, especially Ioana, from Romania. I enjoyed the food but only got to breakfast on the last morning which was a great offering. The room we were allocated was definitely smaller compared to other guests since they were our travelling partners. It was maintained very well & changed 3 times over the 7 days. There was plenty of space for guests to chill & the offered itinerary was plentiful. I mostly enjoyed doing our own thing & wandering the islands as we arrived. We got a surprise when it came to port costs on arrival into Dubrovnik that I believe should have been accounted for. Regardless, I would defined recommend it to others considering venturing to Croatia.

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.

- Dianne, 08/07/2025 20:30,
boat was fantastic as were the wonderful crew and the Sail Croatia rep. overall food was very good although it would have been nice to be able to dine on deck rather than on the dining room - certainly for the onboard barbecue. we had a lower deck cabin which was well appointed although it could do with a washing line to hang wet clothes on . stops were great especially the swim stops - although i think this could be improved by offering a late afternoon swim stop. i appreciate the logistics of arranging moorings may make that difficult. overall a great holiday we had a great group of fellow travellers who all socialised together and this made the holiday.

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.
