Sail and Bike

Ivica and Antonio were terrific. The food was outstanding. The boat was great. The biking seemed to be going from A to B with little sightseeing.

Exceeded all expectations

I couldn’t imagine being able to improve my cell Croatia experience. The condition about, the cleanliness of the boat, the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the outstanding worked on by our two guys. Simply sad, amazing. Thank you.

Phenomenal

Sailing and biking Croatia’s islands was incredibly special for its scenery, culture, food, aromas, waters and villages. But, it was Andro and Saša who made it phenomenal. The pair of them have a way of collaborating and connecting that was naturally easygoing, humorous and informative, all at once. Croatia and Andro and Saša made it a cultural and personal experience of a lifetime. Phenomenal.

Excellent Guides and Crew

Simun and Josip were absolutely wonderful. Thorough, thoughtful, kind, smart and very good at sharing the history of each location. They knew their audience and gifted us with a delightful cycling tour. Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU both! The crew and boat were wonderful; kind, clean, and fun to be around. Three Suggestions: 1. Create smaller groups (34 riders was too many; felt unsafe at times); 2. Include software SC identified in its pre-departure info (or use an alternative) --- it was neither mentioned, nor used. It would be more fun to save our trips digitally; 3. Include options for additional rides for the days that make sense (listed in the pre-departure info but not used during the trip);

Mali Luka cycle sail Sept 16/26

The experience on a whole was excellent. The guides Sasa and Callum were outstanding and worked well as a team. They had to make some unexpected changes to the itinerary which worked out well. The crew on the Mali Luka we also top notch and very friendly. I have one bad thing to mention. 3 days of the trip had no hot water for showers. Also our shower head would not hold on the wall making for awkward use. Other than that we had the best time!

Croatian cycle holiday

What an experience. We were looked after from the time we made our reservations till we disembarked. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to assist onboard. Safety was the captains priority as he always tried to avoid bad weather situations. Our tour guide Josko ensured fantastic rides with spectacular scenery. Oh, please go with the E-bike option.

Amazing week

It was amazing from start to finish! The entire crew was incredible, all our wants and needs were exceeded,! Food was great and all the biking was even better than we thought it would be! The only thing that was an issue was no hot water on our last day before departure!

Amazing Croatian Islands and Coast!

A dsily cycling excursion is the best way to experience the beauty of Croatia. I would highly recommend this trip. The E-Bike makes all routes and overlooks accessible. The swim stops from the boat and the beach were also pristine.

We had a wonderful time, meeting new people from different parts of the world. We developed new friendships that we will maintain going forward!!! The cast and crew will remain in our memories forever, as we had a delightful time and will recommend to those we know.

Great time, the guides did a great job. They were friendly and knowledgeable. The crew was also excellent. On "complaint" is that the food on the boat could have been better. I would still recommend them.

Fabulous holiday

We were on a cycle cruise from Split to Split. What a fantastic holiday. Lucila and Dora were amazing hosts/leaders. Very helpful, knowledgeable and funny. All the crew were great. The waiters were friendly and efficient. The food was great. Accommodation was better than expected and our room was checked daily with fresh bedding and towels mid week. The e-bikes were in great condition and any issues were sorted out immediately. All in all a very good holiday.

Sail Croatia with Biking

Overall we had a good holiday. We were on the Emanuel. The boat was clean.. Biking with guides was very good. We were disappointed in some aspects. The rooms were very tight. We understand this is a boat but our bed was against a wall and the storage was minimal. The bed was very hard and linens/towels were just ok. The room would have felt better if they had used better quality items. It felt more like dorm living or summer camp. No swimming towels provided (which we knew ahead) but this takes a lot of room in a suitcase when traveling. The meals were basic and not of a standard that we expected for a vacation. Bar prices seemed a little high. It was stated not to bring food/drink onboard.. However, there was no food or snacks available other than meals. One day we were sailing 7 hours to avoid a storm and no food provided other than lunch. This meant drinking and no snacking. The upper deck was nice with a shaded area and sun deck but the furniture needs updated.

Thank you for your 4-star rating and for taking the time to share your feedback.

We also appreciate your comments regarding the cabin furnishings, meals, bar offering and deck furniture, and will ensure these are shared with the relevant team. Thank you again for travelling with us. We’re pleased that overall you enjoyed your holiday and appreciate your 4-star review.

Amazing vacation

Was one of the best vacations we have had and e-biking thru Croatia was the way to go. Every day we saw the most beautiful scenery and towns. The swim stops were my favorite-crystal clear water-so relaxing. We traveled with other guests from Canada, Australia, England, USA who made our trip so much fun and who couldn't have been nicer. The Crew on Emanuel was wonderful, especially our e-bike tour guides Ivica and Sanja. They made our days fun and informative and always made sure we were all OK. If you're thinking about doing this trip-stop thinking and just book it...

Sail/cycle Croatia 2nd Sep to 9th Sep

Fantastic holiday. We sailed on the Mali Ante from Split . Check in was straight forward .Our cabin was nice and clean . Nice welcome from the captain who introduced the crew and bike guides for the week. Great itinerary with variety and well organised. We were fully briefed on what to expect each day .I had chosen to do the trip with a standard hybrid bike . So some of the hill climbs were very challenging but the satisfaction of completing the rides was amazing. Food on board the Mali Ante was so good the chef produced great food every day. Mario our waiter looked after everyone so well he never stopped so attentive and cheerful. The scenery throughout the trip was breathtaking. The captain was always cheerful and would chat with you he took us to some amazing swim stops with crystal seas and landscapes that were awesome . Josko and Martin our cycle guides kept us safe and were very knowledgeable. They were so helpful on places of interest to visit . I would definitely recommend it

- Graeme, 15/09/2026 09:34, Travelled with Friend/s

It was a great trip. The crew was nice, very helpful. The food was good, and the bike rides were beautiful and not too long. I really liked that we were able to going swimming at several opportunities - a least once per day.

It was as good as hoped for.

Excellent trip

The trip overall was very, very good. - Enjoyed the bike rides - Enjoyed the crew - Enjoyed the guides Everyone seemed to go out of their way to take care of us. It was brutally hot outside and the cabins were pretty warm as the AC could not keep up, but at least they provided a fan to help keep you comfortable. I would fully recommend the experience to others interested in doing the same type of adventure.

The tour leaders were fun, knowledgeable and professional. The wait staff was impeccable, and made certain that my food allergy was addressed. The meals were top notch with servings that could have fed two. My only slight concern was that rest stops along the cycling routes were sometimes too long. Fellow travelers were terrific and I left with new friends from around the globe!

Bike Guides You Can't Cycle Without!

We had an amazing trip on the cycling cruise! The amenities, crew and experience were over the top and a must do. You will be overfed with some of the best food for breakfast and lunch and be well taken care of by the bar and sail staff! The real game changers were Joško and Calum as our guides for all things from the bike route, history, restaurant recs, must see sites, views and entertainment! If you are able to request them as your guides then you would be doing yourself and the rest of the guests a disservice by missing out on the elevated expertise and attitude that they bring to your experience on this trip!

Perfect way to see the Islands not left not right just straight on.

The whole crew were great and went above and beyond; hope to do again soon. Thank you Peter for the bar, the beer at lunch after day two’s ride is one of my favourites of all time!

Meh

Varying (hour by hour) ship schedule made it difficult to fully plan/enjoy. Schedule was blamed on docking constraints which were not immediately apparent unless line was saving on fees. Lack of opportunities to swim off ship was also disappointing. Coffee/tea should’ve been available free during all waking hours. More pillows desperately needed. Staff was appropriate.

The Best Way to Experience Croatia

Exploring four islands, one peninsula, and two mainland stops while visiting more than 20 towns made this an unforgettable adventure. We cycled over 120 miles (193 km), walked countless steps, and experienced Croatia in a way that simply isn't possible by car or bus. It exceeded every expectation and is, without a doubt, the best way to discover this beautiful country. Our guides, Miranda and Matilda, were exceptional. They kept everything organized, safe, and enjoyable while sharing local history, culture, and stories that gave us a much deeper appreciation for Croatia. The crew aboard the Princeza Diana was outstanding. They were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the trip, and the meals were consistently delicious. Five stars hardly seem like enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for an incredible week and memories that will last a lifetime. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active, immersive, and unforgettable way to experience Croatia.

Get Outside with Bike Croatia

My wife and I had a great time on the sailing and biking adventure! The guides, scenery, and bikes were amazing! The routes were challenging at times and very beautiful. We had plenty of free time and made lots of new friends from around the world. We added extra days in Split (before) and Dubrovnik (after) which were both very enjoyable. Really loved this trip!

Great tour

Holiday was great. All staff on the boat were great to deal with. Boat was clean and safe as well as the food was excellent. Only drawback was that there were some people not on ebikes which held up the whole tour several times. Would have liked to ebike longer distances but were not able to because of this issue.

Incredible bike / boating trip to the South Dalmatian Islands

My trip to Croatia was incredible.! Lucie and Ivan were our tour guides on the Dionis, and they made the trip terrific. They were very fun, knowledgeable, and patient with us and really helped bring our group together. In addition to guiding us, they helped with all sorts of odd requests from taking photos with views, recommending restaurants and making reservations, nearby laundry services, places to buy souvenirs, places to avoid, best gelato locations, etc. etc. I can't say enough about how they enhanced the experience. It was absolutely the trip of a life time. While I have tons of photos I wish I could share, I have added a couple that provide a sense of the typical day on the tour.

Our holiday was wonderful. our guides, Miranda and Matilda did a spectacular job, herding 30 kittens on bikes. Whether it was the view from the bikes or the view from the boats, that part of the world is beautiful and in some cases, untouched. The meals were made with care and perfect attention to produce from the local area. The cabins were spacious enough for 2 people with luggage and the beds were comfortable... a great way to spend a holiday

Unspoiled island beauty

We had a wonderful adventure with Sail Croatia. Our boat was comfortable and clean and the crew went above and beyond to make our time special. Huge callout to Marin and Josip who were our guides. Very personable and knowledgeable. But for me the highlight was getting to immerse in the natural beauty of the islands. Seeing villages and a way of life that has managed to avoid the trappings of westernization is refreshing I highly recommend this boat and bike tour.

The Marin, Josip, and the crew made this trip…

We had a great time on our sail and cycle cruise thanks to Marin and Josip and our crew. Marin was our guide and Josip was our cycling guide and they were a great team-professional and very qualified yet warm and engaging. The support we received from these guys both on and off the bike was really amazing. I feel as though we got really lucky to have them assigned to our group. I took a star away because our boat-the Dionis-was very worn out. There were only 8 plastic loungers strewn about on the top deck and two were broken and there were 27 of us on board. We kept seeing other Sail Croatia boats with a full deck of chairs with cushions and I still can’t understand the disparity. Also, my husband and I ended up with a below deck cabin. It was dark, smelly, and very damp. Even the sheets at night were damp. I feel as though the trip could have been a perfect five stars if Sail Croatia had given more attention to the accommodations on the boat.

The whole trip was amazing - itinerary, food, ship - all fantastic ! Our guides Miranda and Matilda were extraordinary - we especially liked Matilda’s “story time” chats … outstanding knowledge of the history of the region and gave us great insight. Miranda was an amazing host who help with any questions we had - the pace of the rides were perfect. The rest of the staff… Denny, Tea, Damir were equally awesome —- 100% recommend the Cycle Tour Dubrovnik to Split - totally feel like we had the best Croatian holiday !!

Fantastic. As hosts and cycling guides, Callum and Josko were first class. They were very supportive and ensured each ride was completed with safety in mind. They were knowledgeable about the areas we cycled through and provided snippets of the history that truly added value to the rides. Enjoyment of the rides and our overall holiday was paramount. They truly made a first class partnership that enhanced our experience no end. Although the crew were less engaged in one-to-one engagement within our daily activities they made the cruise experience a very enjoyable one and should also be commended.

Cycle cruise is the best way to see Croatia!

I cannot say enough just how much I enjoyed my time on the cycling cruise! It was such a great way to really see a lot of Croatia by e-bike in between the stops on the island towns. Being my first time on a boat for any extended period, I was a bit nervous how I’d like it, but the crew and the guides made it a fantastic experience all around! We were on board the Mali Luka and Captain Ivan and his crew were amazing. He and Ilija always made you feel safe and welcomed. The food by chef Josip was fantastic and you could not have found a kinder server than Mateo if you tried. They were always willing to go above and beyond if you needed anything at all. We lucked up because we had the absolute BEST guides you could ever ask for. Calum and Josko took us around on the bikes and always made sure we had the full itinerary and what to expect each day. They made sure we were always safe while on the islands all while having so much fun. I will plan to ask for both of them the next time I go!!

Amazing Trip!

This trip was so much fun. I went with a large group of friends which made it even more special, but I got to know most everyone on the boat and everyone was so nice. I originally picked a normal bike, but quickly switched to an e-bike as the routes were a little beyond my abilities. The switch was seamless. The tour guides (Callum and Josko) were absolutely the best. They were so great, I honestly hope we cross paths again someday. The boat crew for Mali Luka was amazing as well, and the food was on another level. EPIC trip!

Sail and Bike in May 2026

I enjoyed the other people on the tour and the guides (Marin and Martin). I did feel that the boat used was not a proper one for this kind of cruise. Once the bikes were loaded there was little room left. I noted other boats when at dock that were roomier on the stern on the middle. Also, the breakfast buffet was poorly organized. Again, there was a lack of space forcing people into a small table area where only one person could get in and had to come back out into the same line. There should be access in the round and not at one of the eating tables. When parked alongside other boats there was no airflow. This became an issue when the air conditioning was not working. The crew was not very friendly, were smoking near the eating area and on their phones. There were no smokers on the tour so it was somewhat disgusting to have to inhale the crews cigarette smoke. They should go off the boat or to the upper deck if they want to smoke. The food was not of good quality. Needs improvement.

Many of the larger vessels you may have seen during your cruise would likely have fallen within this category. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and recommendation. We truly value guest insights as they help us continue to improve our experiences.

Very nice vacation

Our premier plus Sail Croatia cycling vacation from Split to Dubrovnik on the Princess. Diana was outstanding. The crew of the boat and the guides for the tour could not have been better. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that wants to enjoy a relaxing cycling vacation.

Leaving the beach holiday behind.

Having struggled over the last few years with what works for us as a holiday, my wife and I have bounced between exotic destinations and luxury beach holidays. We’ve found that neither are particularly fulfilling and, although we’ve always enjoyed ourselves, we feel that our experience has been lacking. We thought that we would leave our comfort zone by trying an activity holiday with a group of complete strangers. Having just finished a cruise with Sail Croatia, I can honestly say that, certainly for us, I feel that we’ve found what was missing. A holiday which was centred around our activity level but challenged us to push ourselves further. An experience which allowed us to form friendships with travellers from all over the world. A well led and curated cultural introduction, facilitated by guides (Marin & Olja) who love their country and job, while supporting their guests to bond, experience and enjoy their holiday. We would definitely recommend this holiday, company and guides.

- Ross, 25/05/2026 15:59, Travelled with Family

Unforgettably Great

The Adriatic islands are now my favorite area - they have it all. The cruise/biking experience was icing on a marvelous cake. Lauren, Andro and crew took good care of the 17 of us with humor, insights and kindness. It’s obvious that the company has figured things out so itinerary can be adjusted as necessary. Wi-Fi worked great, a “WhatsApp” site, good food, fine accommodations. I’d note only that e-bikes should be considered essential due to the distances and grades - all but 2 in our group had them and were VERY grateful.

Sail Croatia Split to Dubrovnik

Everyone in our group of eight had a fantastic holiday. Miranda & Natasha, our guides were so friendly & enthusiastic, always with a smile on their faces. The cycle routes were great too & the electric bikes meant the Croatian hills were easily dealt with. Princess Diana, our ship, was brilliant always kept immaculately clean & tidy by the captain & crew. The food was lovely & varied, always fresh ingredients & there was plenty of it! All in all a great holiday with nothing to fault.

Waiting until I'm 66 was worth it.

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.

Not sure what you mean bybthis

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…

Suprise onboard charges

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.

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-05-05:

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.

The boat was lovely , but the crew and cycling tour guides are what made this trip. THEY WORKED HARD!!!!!!! Lifting the bikes everyday and still smiling. The guides were professional and very well informed about the area and were way better at English than we were at Croatian. The food was high quality, promptly served, and plentiful.

Best trip ever!

Everything made this trip! Starting with signing up with Sail Croatia.. My girl friends sister had done the trip last year. Being boaters and bikers. We made our decision to do it. It was far beyond my expectations! At first I was hesitant to do it as my travels have never included an organized tour. This trip I was proven wrong. The boat was the perfect size, spanking clean and organized, the crew and bike guides were beyond personable, friendly and professional, the food outstanding! By the end of the trip they all were like family. The group, a mixture from different countries, also became like family, many we will keep in touch with after this trip I do not say these words lightly,. I truly amazed myself with this admittance. I say again, I have never been a fan of tours nor large groups of unknown people. I have been on many world adventures but none quite like this one!

Sail and bike from Split to Dubrovnik

The crew, which is responsible for the sailing/transportation of our group from destination to destination, were very good - trying to avoid rough waters, offering good meals (always a breakfast and usually a lunch and the occasional dinner). The cycling component was handled by a lead that planned the routes. Our lead tried to anticipate the abilities of our group, as we had a few non-electric bikers, and I appreciated him factoring the weather, cycling ability, terrain, topography and the ships ability with regards to docking/port authority schedules. By the end of our trip we ended up cycling: distance and total accumulated altitude climb, exceeded most trips of the season.. I believe that accommodations could have been made if our group was either over or under challenged.. Overall cycling Croatia was a great experience for us. We got to see Croatia in a unique way safely guided and well hosted.

Awesome experience cruising/biking the Croatian Islands

We had an incredible time w 13 other couples, sailing and biking from Dubrovnik to Spilt. The crew and our bike guides are what set this apart. So amazing to hear their takes on the history of the region and their love of their country. We had a great set up for the other couples that we were traveling with to enjoy time as a big group and break off into smaller groups.

The best of times on the Dalmatian coast

Excited about the boat Aphrodite, it did not disappoint. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Plenty of room. Great introduction with the staff. Any fears of sharing our holiday with a number of unknown people were soon dismissed. We were so fortunate that we had such a good group. The cycling guides, helpful , informative and entered into the spirit of holiday. WhatsApp group for passing information and morning meetings worked well. The bicycles are good quality and surprisingly no punctures.. At times the group seemed to large and we seemed rushed and to be cycling to a schedule. Thoroughly recommend the combination of travelling by boat and cycling the best way to enjoy the Dalmatian coast. The scenery was stunning, weather was perfect for us in mid September. Opportunities to swim from beaches and of the boat was perfect, enjoyed the food on the boat and we all came together to eat at meal times. Most memorable experience and booked again with SailCroatia for 2027….

Amazing Adventure

Our bike tour guides, Marin and Borna, were absolutely outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the regions we explored. Their local insights, humor, and attention to detail made every ride not just scenic but meaningful. They were the true highlight of this trip and the main reason our cycling adventure was such a success. The boat Dionis was functional and served its purpose as our floating base for the week. While it’s not the most luxurious vessel in the fleet, it provided what we needed for a comfortable journey between islands. The crew was generally accommodating, though the captain’s early departure push on the final morning — moving the checkout time from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. — felt a bit rushed and left us scrambling to wrap things up. Overall, the experience was memorable and well organized, thanks in large part to Marin and Borna, who turned a good trip into a great one.

Great combination of cycling and sightseeing!

Our cycling guides, Josko and Anita were outstanding. Each day’s itinerary was meticulously planned and when weather didn’t cooperate, J did a great job of changing on the fly, The crew on the boat were also absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond. That is what made the trip so special. That, and the amazing scenery and sights on the islands of Croatia.

Everything was amazing! The biking was such a great way to see the islands of Croatia. The guides were fantastic in planning the day’s ride; kept a good pace with breaks as needed. The boat staff were friendly and eager to make your trip a good experience. The food was amazing. I wasn’t expecting that type of quality on a small ship. The sea was quite rough for a few hours but that is out of anyone’s hands.

Bike/ sail Island Hopping

Had a great time biking and going from island to island! Marin and Josip made the trip! We had a large group of riders, some on e-bike some classic- they always had alternative routes, addressed all concerns, made everyday super fun! They were very knowledgeable about everything, Croatia! , history lessons, exploring caves, bike routes, etc. The best was the information we got for our free time in ports- great suggestions for activities, hikes, swim places, must see attractions, best places for dinner. I would definitely recommend, I’m already looking at other trips!

The made the whole experience way beyond our expectations. Christina and her crew made the time on board relaxing and engaging. All of us on board laughed, shared stories and celebrated together. Our Captain’s dinner was a jovial event with much drinking, toasting and dancing. The meals were an epicurean’s delight.

Sail Croatia cycling

Croatia is scenic and the cycling was good. The crew of the Princeza Diana was terrific- they worked very hard and were friendly and happy to interact with guests. The food was absolutely top notch- I'd recommend this trip for the food alone. Our guides were only average based on multiple previous cycling trips in Europe. They were pleasant enough but seemed disconnected from their jobs. Perhaps it was late in the season and they had mentally moved on.

The guides Ivan and Lucija were very knowledgeable and organized. We alway knew the plan and they provided great local info and recommendations. The food was well prepared and tastey. The coffee was good but cold. Maybe replace the coffee maker with a better style that keeps the urn warmer. The only downside was our ship was charged after all our travel plans were made.

We had a great experience with Ivan and Lucija. They really looked after us and were great teachers about Croatian culture, history and geography. I felt we had a university level course by the end of the week. They also had great senses of humour and made us feel relaxed. Also, they took our safety very seriously and made sure we were aware of the conditions for our biking expeditions. When one of our bikers got injured, Ivan went above and beyond to make sure they got the medical care that they needed. We loved the intimate atmosphere on the boat and all the crew were very nice to us. Marijan was particularly good for serving us and Anna's food was DELICIOUS. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Lola was excellent as our tail end guide with good history comments along the way. For constructive criticism I would recommend that the up front lead guide (Srdan) go a bit slower so that we did not spread out into seperate pelotons with the later groups missing turns that Srdan made without stopping to allow the later groups to catch up.

This was our seventh B & B trip and we had an excellent time. The staff and guides did an excellent job throughout the week. The food on the ship was very good. We used ebikes which I would recommend, they made the hills which there are many very easy to peddle up. There were not any panier bags on the bikes to carry anything in so I would recommend brining a small backpack or sling bike while riding.

Great way to see Croatia

Loved being able to ride the bikes through the Islands of Croatia and see the villages of the various islands. So many old ways are still observed, but over tourism is going to hurt this region in the long term. This is the way tourism should be be done, in small groups.

Our trip leader Miranda was the consummate professional, responding to every one of our needs, and handling some tricky situations with grace, speed and compassion. Sanjay’s love for her country and her work shone through every day in her stories of the islands. In short, my wife and I had a blast, thank you Sail Croatia!

The trip of a lifetime aboard the Mali Ante

My wife and I experienced our first trip to Croatia aboard the Mali Ante on the Split Southern Return voyage along with 30 of our friends. The ship's crew were amazong. Ivan, Mario, Ilea, and Captain Ivica. were all so friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. (If you like a good cocktail, be sure to order the Mario Special.) Chef Ivica and sous chef Antonio prepared delicious food, including traditional Croatian cuisine for the Captain's dinner, hearty lunches for post-cycling recovery, and breakfasts that fueled us up for our rides. Speaking of the rides, I can't say enough good things about our guides, Tonka and Sanja. Every morning they would give us a detailed briefing about the day's journey; the length, difficulty, water stops, road conditions, etc. Tonka's humor put even the inexperienced cyclists at ease, and Sanja was so informative with her stories about the islands and the towns we rode through. We are already planning a return to beautiful Croatia. Puno hvala!

Sail Croatia - Trip of a Lifetime

Our time on board the ship and during the cycling cruise was fantastic. The ship's crew was friendly and professional. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Sanja, were excellent, fun, and took us to many wonderful places. They also made numerous recommendations that were very helpful and enjoyable. My only criticism was for communication with the Sail Croatia personnel. It was difficult to find out which boat you were assigned to because that information was buried in a specific email link. I also asked about storage on the bicycles since they had racks and was told there was none. There were panniers provided and I did not need the backpack I had bought based on the misinformation.

The Crew and Guides Made it Happen!

We had a wonderful time on the Biking cruise and it was largely due to the efforts of the Crew of the Mali Ante and our guides, Tonka and Sanja. From the moment we set foot on board, the crew took care of our every need, often before we asked. The food prepared by Chef was fantastic, and the service from Ivan and Mario in the saloon was exceptional. Tonka and Sanja worked very well together as a team for the bike riding and the touring with very detailed information about both and always making us laugh and smile. These women are top-notch and I would trust them to take care of guests in every situation. I can't believe how quickly the week passed by and I wasn't ready for the trip to end. I highly recommend a trip with this crew and these guides to anybody considering a trip in beautiful Croatia.

Great way to see Croatian islands

Being able to cycle and see the places we visited with local knowledge guides. E Bikes makes it much easier and open to a wide variety of abilities. Stopping at every port and trying out local restaurants was also nice.

Wonderful way to see the Croatian Island

The tour guides Ivan and Lucija made the trips wonderful and unforgettable. Thank you.. It would have been a 5-stars tour if the breakfast varies daily, the ship is stocked with shampoo and the bed mattress is thicker. The staff on board were wonderful. The tour was well organized and the bikes were fantastic. Beach towels were not provided either.. It would have been very nice if these are provided as well.

Excellent in every way! Cruising and biking!

Our Sail Croatia vacation was among the very best of our lives! An ideal mix of activity, relaxation and site seeing. Sailing to a new island each day, a swim in the Adriatic, a bike tour, time to relax then open time to visit the local town, dine and return to the ship at our leisure. Guides were truly excellent, crew were friendly and very accommodating, ship was beautiful and comfortable, bikes were great quality. I cannot recommend this trip more highly!

- Glenn, 16/06/2025 01:19, Travelled with Friend/s

A Wonderful Experience

The entire Mali Anti crew and guides were wonderful. The boat was clean, comfortable, with plenty of room. The sailing itinerary and cycling were extremely well planned out. The food was excellent and more than what could have been expected. Other guests were quite friendly and fun to be with. We were fortunate to have really good weather for sailing, cycling, and wandering at every stop. Everyone on the crew seemed to go above and beyond to make our experience great. This included the captain (Ivica), the sailors (Ivan and Ilija), the waiter (Mario - he was exceptional), the chef (Ivica - who was truly wonderful) and helper (Antonio). The two guides Miranda and Ana were outstanding throughout our entire trip. (Suggestions - the rooms could have a few more hooks to hang things on and the mirrors in the bathrooms need to be lowered about 6 inches)

- Bob, 13/06/2025 03:24, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing trip

The small sized ships allowed access to smaller, quieter, and less busy ports allowing access to the real charm of Croatia. We loved the varied destinations, ports, and rides. No two days were the same. It also allowed us to really interact with the other guests and get to know them well. Our guide’s knowledge of the area and its history was excellent and very informative.

Bucket list ticked

After doing a bare boat charter around Turkey years ago, we wanted to do same in Croatia, however as keen cyclist was saw the perfect blend of boating and cycling in what Sail Croatia offered … and without all the hassle of a bare boat. The crew and cycle guides were first class … hats off to all. Thanks for the memories.

A great trip with a large group of friends.

There were about twenty of us traveling as a group. We made nice friendships with the other guests on the ship. The rides and the option of e-bikes makes this adventure accessible and fun for everyone. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. They provided insight into history of the area offered great suggestions for dinner and activities when we were not cycling. The captain and crew were also very friendly and skilled.

- Bill, 07/06/2025 17:42, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail and cycle - best holiday ever

The islands were beautiful and the combination of sail and cycling was the best way of seeing them. We saw so many incredible and interesting things. The cycling was more challenging than I expected but the group and the guides kept us all going and the achievement of completing the rides on a pedal bike with the amazing views of the islands was special. We were lucky to be part of a small group of 8 passenger from UK and USA. Everyone got on so well and made a great group that added to the experience. Ivica was a great lead guide with so much experience and local knowledge, he was friendly and looked after the group. Calum kept the fun coming with good stories, playlists, and the best recommendations on where to eat and drink. The Dionis was a lovely boat with a very happy and friendly crew, we felt very comfortable and looked after. The meals on the boat were amazing and kept us fuelled up for the cycling. Our first cycling holiday but won’t be our last.

A Must Do

Our biking/sailing holiday with Sail Croatia’s Columbo was exceptional! The food was delicious, our waiter/bartender Bruno was top notch and our guides Marin and “Johnny” were SO knowledgeable and helpful and tons of fun! All of the other staff were super helpful and pleasant! We definitely will be recommending this to all our friends/family! Well done and thank you for making this trip so memorable!

The best way to see Croatia

A small group of friends did a 1 week sail/bike tour of the northern Adriatic coast of Croatia. Beautiful country, crystal clear water and very friendly people. The accommodations for the 20 guests aboard the Mali Ante were comfortable and clean and the crew of the ship were first class. The two guides provided by Sail Croatia (Lola and Tonka) guided us through fantastic routes through small towns and villages that you would never see on a larger ship. The rides were fun and not terribly challenging, although I do recommend taking an E-bike if you are more into the scenery than the cycling! Truly a 5 star experience!

- Steve, 02/06/2025 07:24, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing

Marin and Johnny were awesome. They made sure we were always safe during are rides. They always kept us informed of what was happening and what was coming g up. Gave us lots of information about the history of the place we were visiting that day. I believe they went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience.

Review

The locations and crew were outstanding. Our guides Mario and Marin were full of knowledge and stressed safe riding. The crew on the boat were also very good. The booking process was less than stellar. My son and I were assigned a room with one double bed, not two singles. Since are large people, it did not work. He slept under the bed. Booking knew the assignment but would not/could not change it. Serious screw up by the office staff.

Hi Larry, thank you for your review and for your kind words about our guides and crew – we’re delighted you enjoyed the overall experience. We regret to read about your booking experience. As outlined in our FAQs, cabin types vary by ship and are based on 2 people sharing – with configurations including twin beds, bunk beds, or one double bed. Whilst preferences can be requested at booking, we cannot guarantee specific layouts due to each ship’s unique cabin setup and limited availability. Final cabin allocations are confirmed a week before departure. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again.

WAY too big of a group. Too little cycling.

1) Smaller group! With that many riders (32) the faster riders, some of whom would have ridden even faster if allowed, spent way too much time waiting for the slower riders. This was the case on the uphills, the downhills, and the level rides. People ride at different speeds, regardless of terrain or type of bike. 2) Longer, full-day rides. One day was only 10 km, which is ridiculous.

Croatia Crew LMC

Perfect blend of cruising, cycling and free time to get a beautiful experience of Croatia. Crew were very proficient and friendly. Size of the boat was nice with just 32 guests and 8 crew including cycling guides. Choice of islands and cycling routes were really excellent. Would have enjoyed more cycling too!

Room for improvement

The ship was in great shape and the Captain very skilled. the crew worked hard to make our week a fun/safe time and they succeeded. However, meals are a big part of our annual boat and bike trips. Here they failed. The meals were far too heave generally and the BBQ night was substandard with much meat and few veggies...and they were buried under all that meat. The meal was awful. Equally as bad was the captains dinner of steak that was unchewable...oh, the coffee was worse than any I had in the Navy and I didnt thimk that woukd ever be possible...undrinkable sludge..this boat & bike towr tour 7th as a group. It was the also the first to not put out a nice happy hour food spread...only pretzels and biscuits. All in all, I won't recommend this trip .

An Awesome Adventure!

My expectations were exceeded at every level. Our guides Marin and Ivan were fun, approachable, and very knowledgeable. Their different styles in leading complimented each other very well and made us feel safe and special. The kitchen staff, Chef Marco and Sous Chef Maria prepared wonderful and delicious meals each day and young Ivan and Karlo delivered breakfast, lunch and cocktails with a smile and genuine enjoyment. The PD crew were all top notch and got us to each destination without worry! Bravo! The undulating Croatian countryside I saw from the ship and aboard my E-Bike (highly recommend) was breathtaking and beautiful!! The deep blue Adriatic Sea was stunning against an impressive mountain coast. The the cities we visited were historical wonders and each beautiful in their own way. My shipmates were amazing and I feel a few long time friendships have been born on this intimate experience! Zivjeli!!!

Excellent Boat / Crew / Staff

The entire staff, from the captain down, was excellent, doing their very best to give us an enjoyable experience. The boat was in excellent condition, and very clean. The cycling guides, Miranda and Lola, were always asking what the passengers preferred in cycling routes, and then delivering what was requested. They genuinely wanted to make us happy. Even Matilda, who was in training to be a cycling guide, helped with any difficulty we encountered.

A fantastic holiday around the beautiful Croatian islands with Sail Croatia.

The staff could not have been more helpful, the guides were knowledgeable and were quick to make changes when the weather demanded it. However charging €40 for a bottle of sparkling wine that retails at £6 is outrageous.

These two ladies truly made this a memorable experience. I’d highly recommend this trip. For those worried about the biking aspect, the e-bikes are a great option.

Ivice and Anita did a fantastic job planning our cycling activities, telling us about the various towns and their highlights, and providing considerable assistance with restaurants, additional experiences, and answering innumerable questions. They were SO customer focused and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The ship's crew was similarly helpful - from Captain Ivan's thoughtful route updates to keep us in good weather to Paola's friendly service in the galley/bar and Olga's attention to detail in keeping our cabins clean and comfy. The meals were tasty and nutritious, and the e-bikes were new and very effective at assisting us up the sometimes steep inclines. This was a great way to see the Croatian islands - highly recommend!

Bikes and boats - the perfect combination.

Cycling is a fantastic way to see the beautiful scenery of the Croatian coast and islands. E-bikes make it easy and being based on a boat means you don't have to re-pack every night. The crew were fantastic; cheerful and helpful at all times. Our fellow passengers were also great - I guess self selecting for an activity based trip. Our cabin was small but clean and comfortable - with a bit of engine noise in the bottom of the boat. Food on the boat was plentiful and fresh, if a little basic. We loved the trip and are trying to decide which route to do next.

Put Sail-Cycle Croatia on your must do bucket list.

Sail & Bike Island hopping

A great adventure with a great on board crew and cycle leaders. Cycling was challenging and scenery was fantastic. A couple of small things that could have made the trip even better. Cabins - they are small as expected and it would have helped to have lots of hooks on the walls to hang clothing on. Shower curtains were too short which meant there was water all over the bathroom floor after showering. Biking - My wife's bike broke down twice and there did not seem to be a good backup plan in place for replacement or repair while out cycling. The group was split up once and half the group went the wrong direction at an intersection. Still a great trip and it deserves a 5 star rating.

Great time in Croatia

We began every morning at 7 for breakfast. By 8:15 the bikes were waiting for us on the dock beside our boat. We rode through fabulous scenery, mountains down to the Adriatic, vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages. Coffee break in a cafe, then riding back to the boat for a great lunch. Generally, then it was off to the next island. We stopped a couple times for a swim on the way. After docking, we walked into the village for wonderful Croatian dinners. Sleep, repeat. Small adventures all day. Excellent leaders in Marin and Ilona who provided guidance and history. Couldn't have been better.

The cabins were cold and the first nigt on board the boat we could hardly sleep due to the chill in the cabin. We could not control the tempreture in the cabin. The cabin had lower standard than we expected. The food served on board was not good.Breakfast was good but lunch and grill could have been better.. I had the feeling during the trip that we were alwayes in a hurry. and the cykling tours not relaxed.Not much time for fotos or to observe the scenery etc. Nevertheless we enjoyed the trip.The staff was friendly and helpful at all times.

Express and unite the love of both people and nature

I was very happy with the tour. The crew was happy going and all operations were smooth, The guides were well qualified, engaged and expressed kindness towards the the guests every day of the tour. Indeed a very good experienced, the second time I go with Sail Croatia in the beautiful area. My suggestions are: 1) Slow down the bike tours, make more brief stops to enjoy the splendor of nature. 2) Make the diet more in accordance with environmental and dietary recommendation (less meat, more vegetables and fruits). Furthermore, take measures to reduce food wast. As a first step, measure the food waste on board and calculate how much it costs. 3) Express your concern for nature in the selections of all materials and operation; including detergents, sorting of waste, motor efficiency; even the use of sails when possible. 4) Improve considerably the quality of the coffee you serve. For many people a good cup of coffee makes even a rainy day bright and sunny.
