This trip was everything I could hope for. From our guides Mario and Matilda to the crew of the Mali Ante. Everything we did was a blast. Tons of hikes and crazy weather and lenty of swim stops.

This was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. The boat was beautiful, the others travellers were great, the biking and scenery was spectacular and the guides and crew made every effort to make sure everything was excellent. Ivica was an excellent tour guide and made sure that we were all together and had exciting, enjoyable and safe bike rides. Ana made sure that no one was left behind and provided excellent information on the places we visited along with a few myths, legends and ghost stories😀. Ana and Dan (sp) were excellent bartenders and servers and made sure we stayed hydrated and were well fed. The food was excellent and we were served some traditional croatian food that was better than we had in restaurants on shore after our trip. My compliments to the chef!! We would definitely recommend this trip. Once you have tried a small boat experience you will not want to go back to the big cruise lines

Myself, my wife and 9 friends had an absolutely brilliant week, sailing around Croatia on a perfectly sized boat (30 passengers). The accommodation was great, the food delicious and the amount of hiking spot on. Some hikes were challenging some were easy but it was a great balance. The guides were friendly, informative and looked after us just right. I highly recommend the trip to active folks who want to see the sun, sea and Croatia.

Staff on the ship was excellent. But what really made the trip special was Tonja and Eliana. Your lucky to have them as your guides.

What can I say! This trip was beyond expectations! The Crew (Tea and Daniel ,Captain and crew guys) and Bike and Tour Guides (Ivac and Ana) could not be better. Food was exceptional (Thanks Chef and staff) ! They all cared about our experience!! We had a fun group of like travelers who cycled everyday! Weather was superb! Croatia is amazing!! Do this experience!

The tour was well organized and the guides were very friendly and helpful. It was a great way to see a good part of the country. The boat was clean and equipped to make the time on board comfortable. The meals were very good. Beyond expectations. Overall, a very fun and enjoyable trip

We loved our week aboard the Tempera! The islands, our activities and our host Callum were fantastic! We’d highly recommend the Explorer experience to enjoy the Croatian islands.

We were not 100 percent confident that we would be fit enough or enjoy the experience but we absolutely enjoyed the trip. The tour guides, 2 of them, treated us like family and protected on the roads. The boat, Emanuel, with their captain and crew were a well tuned group. The food on board was excellent! The ebike made the fitness level almost irrelevant, as we watched our 72 year old female group mate keep up with the front guide.

We took the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise from Dubrovnik to Split and we had the Time of our Lives. Our entire crew was amazing from Vicko our Representative who was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. Every morning he provided us with the details of all the local spots to visit and directions on how we could get there. As well as providing amazing stories and history about the area, Our Bartenders Damir & Niksa were so friendly and attentive if we ever needed anything they were there to provide & provide a good time. Our Chefs Vlado & Daki we so amazing at preparing Gluten Free meals for my wife to fit her dietary needs and never made her feel like she was missing out on a meal. Even though we had an itinerary change due to weather our sailors and captain made us feel safe and kept us informed of the changes as soon as possible. The entire crew was so amazing and the excursions prepared even with a change were so engaging and amazing. We would do this every year!

I can't recommend Sail Croatia enough! We booked a bareboat charter 8 months in advance for a week on Night Sky, a 45 foot Beneteau. The boat was in great shape and sailed well. It kept 6 of us comfortable for a week as we sailed through the islands and made many stops. Will definitely book with them again!
- Chris, 13/05/2026 22:07, Travelled with Friend/s
A great trip!! Particular shout out to Tonka and Elena for their care and guidance on our e-bike expeditions and other activities throughout the island. The crew was extremely service oriented and the food was excellent. We would definitely book another trip with Sail Croatia.

Our 7 day cruise and excursions on the Romantic Star absolutely wonderful. The food was fantastic, the accommodations were top notch and the crew was phenomenal. Captain Ivan was a pleasure as well as his crew. Anita, our tour guide, was simply amazing. She made us feel at home on the ship as well as on our excursions. She stole the hearts of everyone in our group of 16. She made an amazing trip even more wonderful. A vaccination we will never forget. Thank you all so much!

- Anonymous, 13/05/2026 13:55, Travelled with Friend/s
We traveled as a group of 16. Anita the tour director was a superstar. Far exceeding any and all expectations I had. I had some health issues while traveling and she made sure I got to medical help in the local village as well as coordinating a ferry ride to the Split hospital. Anita made me feel like family. The boat was very clean and the crew made sure any need that came up was addressed. The food was good. The Captain exuded confidence and made sure the guest knew he was in control of the ship at all times, I highly recommend the Romantic Star. I am sure your experience will be as satisfying as mine was.

My wife and I had a fantastic time traveling from Dubrovnik to Split ! Everyone on the crew were amazing! Lola, are cruise director was very attentive and friendly and she went out of her way to help us in any way ! Pamela and Lucy were both very helpful especially serving us cocktails! The one thing I wish was that the A/C was room controlled ... most of our cruise the captain controlled the air. Overall, highly recommend our trip to everyone ! The time flew by so fast !

- William , 12/05/2026 13:56, Travelled in a Couple
Service was amazing, courteous and friendly. All aspects of the tours were well planned interesting, organized and executed in a timely manner. Food was outstanding, although some of the portions could have been a bit smaller. Ships crew were courteous friendly and helpful. Ship was well maintained, very clean and in excellent working order. I would happily sail with Sail Croatia again.
- John, 12/05/2026 11:54,
I so many things made this Cruise incredible. Let me start with the tour director Dino who is a constant source of energy, smiles, good humour and professionalism. The rest of the crew were very thorough, friendly and expert in their different fields. The captain "Gorgeous" George is truly a Master Mariner and no surprise that he comes from generations of seafarers. The food was outstanding. Drink selection was okay and locations that we visited were excellent and the daily highlight was the swim stops. I thoroughly recommend the "Olimp" vessel cruise through Sail Croatia to anybody looking for a 7 day five-star Croatian cruise experience.
- Peter, 12/05/2026 08:41, Travelled in a Couple
Had a great trip…the guide staff were experienced and knowledgeable…always ready to help, lead, inform, suggest alternatives and more. The boat’s crew including the captain, the sailors, the cook and the other staff provided a smooth boating experience and wonderful meals. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. Convinced us it’ll soon be time to buy an “e” bike at home.” We have no reservations in recommending Sail Croatia!
- Tony, 12/05/2026 07:58, Travelled in a Couple
Big shout out to Dino (Tour Rep) and the entire crew fr making the week so enjoyable. Dino couldn’t do enough for us and was always on hand to help us out no matter what the ask. The quality of the boat and the crew especially the Dining room and bar team, such an efficient and friendly service. Would definitely recommend this as a great way to spend a week in Croatia.

So the Boat is absolutely beautiful and the meals were outstanding…. All of the Crew went above and beyond… so accommodating… especially Tea and Danny….our cycling guides were awesome… especially Tonka who was so knowledgeable, funny and always had a plan b as needed…. Also big shout out to our Captian who could park that boat on a dime

We had wonderful time cruising from Island to Island on the Mali Luka and enjoyed the cycling excursions led by Ivica and Sasha. The food, accommodations and staff on board were first rate, and I would highly recommend the trip to anyone who enjoys a great adventure. Thank you again to the captain and crew for a great week!
- Gordon, 11/05/2026 21:13, Travelled in a Couple
Although the entire experience was outstanding I do have a couple of points: 1.) As an experienced cyclist, I had no issues but I did see some areas of saftey that could be improved. There was confusion throughout the day as directions were, at times, incomplete and vague. 2.) Food was another issue as items at breakfast would run out and the main course lunches were mediocre. 3.) Coffee is always an issue for me and yours was the worst. (Sorry) 4.) I didn't understand why we couldn't pay our bar tab with a credit card. Many were short on cash and had to rush to an ATM. 5.) Whatsapp feature was great, would of been nice to get the days briefing in advance of actual briefing at 8:30 so we could follow along and have questions prepared. All in all our tour guides were friendly and well informed about the areas we visited and I would recommend this tour to friends The boat was immaculate and comfortable. Great way to see Croatia for the first time.

The location, accommodation, the Sail Croatia team and the organisation was all really good. My only comment would be the servicing of our cabin. I had to ask for toilet paper on two occasions and it would of been good to have new bedding half way through the week.

- Scott, 11/05/2026 08:11, Travelled in a Couple
Nice number of guests. Team leaders/tour mangers absolutely terrific, as well all the crew. Food amazing. Accomodation was very comfortable. Such a memorable trip. A great combination of traveling on a midsize boat, max. 32 guests, we had 17 which made the excursion so much more personable with guests and crew. Weather in first of May was decent. 20ish degrees.

The crew was just exceptional. Tonja & Elena were simply the very best guides you can have. The food prepared by Marco was better than any restaurant and he is so dedicated. The crew itself could not have done more to make this adventure absolutely perfect. The passengers were so overwhelmed by them we are still in communication with your team. Just the best…

We travelled from Split to Dubrovnik on their first cruise for the season ( 25 April) — boat was well equiped , cabin was very comfortable — ensuite bathroom great — meals weee ALL excellent and bar was well stocked and run ! Viscko our “ leader” for the week was well organised , very informative and knowledgeable , and was enthusiastic all week !! The crew were a great bunch , always there to help or just talk ! Swims off the back of the boat were BRACING but bloody good fun ! Loved our stops at all the islands — good variety of stops — always docked very close to cafes or the centres at each venue. We would travel with these guys on this boat again in a heartbeat !!

We were advised after we sailed about extra charges above those we paid for the trip, 50.00 per person port taxes and harbor charges. Why were surprised by these because sail Croatia didn’t tell us. Not very nice. To be paid in cash before final disembarking.
- Michael, 04/05/2026 16:54, Travelled with Family
Thank you for your 5-star review - we’re so pleased to hear that you and your group rated your experience so highly. We’re sorry to hear that the local payment came as a surprise. We do make every effort to ensure this cost is clearly communicated to all guests prior to booking. The local payment for Cycle Croatia cruises - currently €50 per person - is outlined in several places, including your online account, payment receipt, FAQs, and pre-departure information. This fee covers port charges and tourist taxes incurred throughout the week and is not a hidden cost. We understand that travel details can sometimes be overlooked, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving how we communicate important information to our guests.
Thank you for a wonderful week sailing around the beautiful Croatian islands. This was our second time after three years, and it was even better than before, thanks to a great crew and our guides, especially Ana. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Best. Vacation. Of. My. Life! This was a wonderful experience. The instructor was kind, patient, and extremely helpful. I learned an extraordinary amount in just seven days. Croatia is beautiful and the people are kind. Honestly, I would do this again just because I had so much fun. I'm 53 and I made friends with people in their 20s and early 30s. I thought I'd be the old man, but they treated me so kindly. I cannot recommend this enough. Croatia is beautiful and should be experienced with a sailboat.

Josko and Andro were amazing guides for our week of cycling. They went above and beyond prior to rides, during the rides and then again to make recommendations on things to do and what to eat.
