An absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. From gourmet meals, to perfectly timed swim stops, spotless amenities, friendly staff. I would do it all over again.

Everything was almost perfect, except the noise in the eating room was painful and the noise in the restaurant that we went to as a group was also excruciatingly loud and the food wasn’t very good. I would not recommend the Olimp boat to anybody else until those problems are fixed.

Our tour guide Lola was incredible !!! she was easy to talk to and extremely helpful She helped us arrange water taxis and answered all of our questions. Lola was great !! We were extremely disappointed with the ship's itinerary. Had we knew that the daily swim stop was actually more than 1/2 a day of swimming and that most shore excursions were to start after lunch, Starting shore excursions at 3;00 or 4;00 is just too late . we would not have taken this cruise. We did not come to Europe to swim, we came to see and explore towns and sights. For instance we visited Milena which was a waste of a day, Nothing really to see. I wish we could have spent the time in Split which is a wonderful and interesting city.

A great week, full of fun and memories. Enjoyed the Kraljica Jelena boat, crew and guide made the week a ball. Would do it all again in a heart beat.

Great crew. Lola was incredible. Itinerary was a bit too light with the morning swim seeming like wasted time. Should charge a bit more and include more without additional charges (coffee, tea and soft drinks; more towels changed more often; greater food variety).

Our group of 20 sailed on Sail Croatia’s Elegance Cruise aboard Katarina in late September/early October & had a wonderful experience overall. Katarina is a beautiful luxury vessel. The food & drinks were excellent, while the captain, crew & Sail Croatia guide were incredibly welcoming & accommodating. The onboard experience exceeded expectations. Our disappointment was specifically with the late-season stop in Vela Luka. We spent an entire afternoon & evening there, but much of the town had already closed for the season. Restaurants & businesses were shut, taxis & boats were unavailable & we couldn’t arrange transportation to nearby beaches. With our travel dates known well in advance, these seasonal limitations should have been considered. Our group of 20 would have gladly welcomed a different stop or extra time in Dubrovnik. Excellent vessel, food, crew & service—just disappointing itinerary planning for the time of year.

Thank you for your wonderful comments about Katarina and our onboard team! We're delighted to hear that the vessel, food and drinks exceeded expectations, and that our Captain, crew and Sail Croatia Representative made your experience so enjoyable. We're sorry that you found Vela Luka quieter than anticipated. Vela Luka is a scheduled destination on our Elegance itinerary, and while the seasonal operation of local businesses and transport providers is outside of our control, there were a number of options available during the stop, including a wine tasting excursion, Vela Spila and arrangements for guests interested in visiting nearby Proizd. The Captain's Dinner was also held onboard that evening. We appreciate your feedback regarding the late-season experience and have shared this with our Operations Team. We're very pleased that you and your group otherwise had such a wonderful experience aboard Katarina, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
An absolutely terrific experience. The entire crew was friendly and performed wonderfully. The accommodations were near-new and and all systems worked as they should. The itinerary selected allowed the passengers to see the sights without being rushed. As a person prone to seasickness I was a a bit apprehensive when booking this, my first, cruise but not once did I experience any motion sickness…thankfully!

My wife and I traveled through the islands of Hvar, Brac, Vis, Korkula, and Mljet with Sail Croatia. Our guide was Vicko. Vicko was quite knowledgeable and interesting as regards the individual islands, reviewing their history as far back as the period of Ancient Greek colonization. The entry into Korkula was especially amazing as the boat coursed the Adriatic between the mainland and the island. My wife and I will always remember this trip with great happiness. A beautiful place and a wonderful experience.

Firstly, the Esperanza is not the most modern in the Sail Croatia fleet - but it it extremely well looked after and is in pristine condiition. The Captain was very friendly and engaging. And all of the 8 crew do an incredible job - they are all very focusing on deliverying outstanding customer service. Our room was very well equiped, comfortable and surprisingly spacious - and the bathroom was a great size. The boat, has plenty of deck space, to sit out in the sun and there are also plenty of shaded areas. The seating areas of the boat and large and comfortable - you never feel there is not enough space. The restaurant was set for 8 people per table. The breakfast is a buffet with plenty of options. Lunch was a fixed 3 course meal - there was also a small daily salad bar available with lunch. Internet was a. challenge onboard. The only criticism I have is that the tour leader - who was very nice and very helpful - had a focus on cash only tours and cash tips for the crew

Thank you for your detailed feedback and 4 star review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your time aboard Esperanza and particularly appreciated the Captain, crew, spacious cabins and onboard facilities. We would like to clarify that optional excursions are operated by local suppliers in Croatia, with cash being their preferred payment method. Similarly, while crew gratuities are entirely optional, cash is the method used onboard should guests wish to leave a tip. Thank you again for travelling with us and for recognising the fantastic service provided by the Esperanza crew.
We had a fantastic time on the Katarina, the Split South itinerary. Such a nice boat/yacht! Our quarters were spacious and comfortable. The crew was professional, friendly and very accomodating, felt like family. Our cruise director Dino was kind and a great communicator in person and on What's Ap. The food on board food (breakfast buffet) and lunches were gourmet, 3 courses.

My wife and I arrived in Dubrovnik 3 days before the cruise. We settled into the local time zone and thoroughly enjoyed the fortified town. We had only been on one previous cruise - on a huge ship. We found the small boat with about 35 guests a lovely size - allowing for some “getting to know” each other that didn’t happen on the big cruise ship. The boat is fantastic. We saw more modern boats but felt no envy. This boat is elegant with its beautiful polished wood. The room was more spacious than we expected, and never jostling for spots to sit/enjoy in the common areas. The stops along the way were delightful, beautiful, interesting. The food was absolutely excellent. Only complaint is about my own lack of restraint!! Our leader, Vedran, was entertaining as all heck. Fun to watch/listen to. Thank you!!
- Paul, 29/09/2026 08:24, Travelled in a Couple
The crew were great and the ship was well laid out, very clean and tidy, and well maintained. We missed two destinations we were really looking forward to, the Blue Cave and Mljet island, but no effort was made by Sail Croatia to try and replace these locations with other appropriate destinations. Two destinations we did visit were very poor and of little interest - a walk of an hour allowed you to see all there was, which was not much! There were other blue and emerald caves that we passed on our journey but no effort was made to include these instead. Not a very good outcome and quite disappointing.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you found the crew great and the ship clean, well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. We’re sorry you were disappointed to miss the Blue Cave and Mljet, particularly as these were destinations you were looking forward to. While itinerary changes can occasionally be necessary due to weather, sea conditions and local operating circumstances, we appreciate that alternative stops may not always feel comparable to those originally planned. Unfortunately, other caves along the route are not necessarily suitable or accessible for our vessels or able to be substituted at short notice. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry these changes impacted your overall experience.
Had the best time aboard the Katarina! The captain and his staff worked so hard to make sure our group of eight friends were happy. I enjoyed the yacht and each island we stopped at. Dino our tour manager was a great!

Outstanding experience. We were on the Split south cruise. The boat Katarina was first rate in terms of amenities, food, and crew. Very attentive and responsive. Boat was immaculate and well maintained. Our cruise director Dino was outstanding at coordinating all activities and providing valuable updates at meals and via WhatsApp group messaging. Always available and responsive. Very personable. He went above and beyond for passengers on the cruise who were older with some mobility limitations. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia especially this boat the Katarina to my friends and family.

We chose Sail Croatia’s Elegance trip - Split Return South, in Sept 2026, and it was splendid! The Olimp is a beautiful, spotless ship, and the food and service aboard were both excellent. Anita, our Sail Croatia tour director was awesome, and kept us informed about our ports of call, what to see, available excursions, where to dine, and she even made reservations. First Class service all the way! The Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik is magnificent, and they take you to so many wonderful towns and natural oases in between them. The other great part of our trip was the many friends we made with our fellow travelers - so many interesting people from all over the world. We had a marvelous vacation and look forward to our next Sail Croatia adventure!
- Paul, 28/09/2026 19:56, Travelled in a Couple
One of the best holidays we have had. Olimp was a superb yacht and exceeded expectations. The Staff and Crew could n't have been more helpful, the all-round service was all we could ask for. Good food all the way. The Captain found some beautiful secluded swim stops each day, they were probably one of the best parts. The whole cruise was so relaxing, with daily visits to new locations, the ability to get into smaller ports with pretty towns was so much nicer . Our tour guide provided lots of information about where to go, what to do and where to eat, the organised tours were well led. Best of all we met some lovely people and left with good friends and many happy memories

Cruise was very nice, here are the positives and then what I would change. Good was food, prices on drinks was fair, Mio on staff, Croatia, cleanliness, captains dinner, communication once on ship, staff responsiveness, I would change the following, better quality water toys (standup paddle boards were cheapest quality imaginable), add “nice touches”( snacks, mints on pillow, thoughtful stuff). Huge lunch unnecessary and getting to islands after 2:30, often even later kinda sucked, change up breakfast offering/spread, outside Mio, Klara and captain, staff wasn’t engaging or customer friendly, everyday long swim stop not ideal or needed/wanted, get us to islands earlier, update website to correct information, (eg pay Bartab with cc or 10% discount for cash, etc, ) and a little disappointed we didn’t get to Vis - due to weather - but a friends boat went same day we should have. Overall very nice but was missing the thoughtful touches to make it a special and outstanding memory.

We sailed on the very well appointed ship Romantic Star from the 6th to the 13th September 2026. Everything about the cruise exceeded our expectations, from the roomy cabins, lounge and bar to the sun deck and hottub. We visited several beautiful islands, sailing the mornings and mooring up for swim stops. The ship had a range of water equipment for snorkelling and paddle boards amongst other things. The crew were fantastic, and i would like to acknowledge the professionalism of all of them. Our Cruise Director, Anita, was wonderful, very informative about our destinations and proactive in recommending restaurants and bookings. We made great friends on the cruise and hopefully we will remain friends for a long time to come. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia to my friends and family.

Thank you to the entire crew with Katrina. Captain Ivan was fantastic and had a 3 piece band during the Captain’s dinner . They had everyone singing and dancing. Karlo , Ivana and the rest of the crew made us feel relaxed and at home right from the beginning. They always seemed to be there when we wanted something or had a question. The swimming stops along the way were fantastic and beautiful. Last but not least our tour guide Klara who was personable and knowledgeable concerning everything that came up. You could not ask for anything better out of a tour guide. Thank you Klara for sharing your knowledge and wisdom of your beautiful country. Thank you so much to the entire crew of Katarina for making our trip the trip of a lifetime 🥂

Was a great time on the Queen Jelena -- Vedrun our tour manager was lovely and super informative. Ship was elegant and rooms were a good size, Food was overall very good onboard. A great way to relax and see Croatia without the trouble of moving hotels. Would be good if the ship left the coffee machine on all day. Also, Sail Croatia should include a few drinks per meal as part of the package. But definitely worth it -- an amazing vacation!

Fantastic cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Crew were excellent and provided seamless service throughout. Swim stops before docking at each island were a highlight. Additionally we really enjoyed the wine tour on Korcula and the bike trip on Mjet. Food was excellent, although lunches were a bit heavy - maybe consider lighter options, particularly where evening meals are planned. Cabin was very comfortable and clean.

Good but hoped for more time to explore/shop … on the stops. Door stops for bathroom door needed, bathroom re-supply and amenities were poor, toilet was never cleaned in our room. Breakfast window of 8-9 too short when underway by 6-7 each day. A bit more variety in the hot breakfast menu - it was the same fare each day.. More excursions offered with passenger commitment secured before the trip starts - not everyone is into swimming and water sports. Crew and servers were very attentive and friendly. Lunches on board, captain’s dinner and impromptu barbecue dinner on board were excellent. A good sail overall.

Average at best. The food was well below average and we could not dock at a port until the afternoon. If you like sitting on a ship with nothing to do but play on your phone and take a swim off the back, then it’s perfect. Otherwise do something else.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the experience, particularly the food, did not meet your expectations. We would, however, like to clarify that the schedule you experienced reflects the way our small-ship cruises are designed to operate. Ships generally depart in the morning, with time spent cruising and enjoying swim stops along the route, before arriving at the next destination in the early afternoon. The ship then remains in port overnight, giving guests the afternoon and evening to explore the town, enjoy activities and have dinner ashore at their own pace. We appreciate that this style of cruising may not suit everyone, but for many guests the combination of cruising, swim stops and extended time ashore is an important part of the experience. Thank you again for travelling with us and for sharing your feedback.
Once we arrived dockside, the experience became something entirely different. We stopped feeling like customers and were treated like guests. The crew of Esperanza, along with Dino, our cruise coordinator, bent over backward to make sure we had the best possible experience. Every day, they seemed to look for some way to make that day even better than the one before—and somehow, they did. One evening, the crew decided to have a dockside cookout. We went into town to a local butcher and picked out an incredible assortment of fresh meats. That evening, the Captain and Dino grilled everything for us while the chef aboard prepared an amazing selection of side dishes. It was an absolute feast. We invited the crew to sit down and eat with us, and they did. We shared a meal, had wonderful conversations, laughed together, and got to know the people who had been taking such good care of us all week. Somewhere along the way, the relationship changed. They became friends. THANK YOU!

Having just 20 passengers on board compared to the thousands on those floating cities was the perfect, relaxing holiday that allowed us to actually experience the coast and islands of Croatia. The crew of the Romantic Star cannot be complimented enough. From the serving staff to the chef and sous chef to the captain and deckhands. And especially our cruise director, Lola, who managed to keep us all entertained and on time, fielding texts and calls at all hours. Some of our fellow passengers enjoyed the cruise so much they cancelled other plans and took another cruise with Sail Croatia a couple of weeks later!

Congratulations to every body connected to the cruise .the booking was seamless, the pickup at Dubrovnik Airport by a charming lady started the cruise off on a good footing, The captain and crew of the OLIMP were very profetional and then there was DINO tour leader /manager who did a great outstanding job .he was backed up by the girls in the salon/dineing area and the house staff welldone to all and many thanks .My only problem was the accustics in the dineing room hard to have a meaning conversation ,also the lack of sunbeds (5) but as the ship is going to a refit i expect this has been brought to your attention .coulld i suggest that The Captains dinner be held early in the cruise rather than the end .Ihave cruised twice with I.D.Riva on the ship Carpe Diem and ship Aria both great cruises but you have edge on them, bigger ship and more nationallities next year idd like ro see Sibenik or Montenegro any ideas ?

Sailing around from split to Dubrovnik was absolute pleasure. From three course lunches every day and new swim spots daily to choose from fabulous way to make the journey. I’m visiting a Newport every night to make fabulous memories

We loved our weeklong cruise from SPLIT to DUBROVNIK on ESPERANZA. Everything about it was simply wonderful. The staff and crew were amazing, the chef and food delicious, the swim locations and ports were wonderful. Two suggestions: get better and stronger coffee without asking for extra payments—everyone on board was very unhappy with the quality. Also….hooks in the bedroom sections of the cabins for a quick hang up of clothes rather than the wardrobe. Bathrooms had hooks but the main section of the cabins could use them as well. .

We couldn't have enjoyed the Sail Croatia cruise more. The planning and food were exquisite. The swim stops in post card settings and quaint villages to stroll through everyday were a delight. Plus the way the group gelled together I believe helped with the enjoyment of the cruise. Already thinking about the next.

From boarding to disembarking a week later, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful service, good food and attention delivered by the crew on the Katrina. The itinerary was great offering a relaxing week with daily swim stops (with paddle boards and kayaking) and afternoon / evening excursions. Just a great trip and I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again.
- Bruce, 25/08/2026 16:29, Travelled in a Couple
Excellent holiday and meet some great people from around the world . Cruise manager was excellent with great communication regarding when and what was happening. The girl that cleaned my cabin was outstanding as well,and pleasant to talk with and always smiling. The remainder of the crew were less so . They failed to acknowledge you most times and were not interactive at all. We would have spent more money on bar if the staff had been better trained in the hospitality industry. .

Excellent time! Vedran is great tour leader! This boat is Family owned and immaculate! All staff are family and they care deeply about the boat and assuring guests have a great time. The only reason I gave this a 4-star rating is that the air conditioning in the cabins just could not keep up with the boiling outside temperature. Most everyone had issues with the air conditioning. Also, in my opinion, the lighting in the bathrooms is not sufficient. PRO Tip 1: Evidently the cabins below deck stay cooler than those above deck PRO Tip 2: Bring clothing that is quick drying and can be washed in the sink or shower. There are ship bars outside the cabins on the upper deck where you can hang them to dry. Clothes pins are provided. PRO Tip 3: Do not bring anything fancy, cool light weight fabrics are best. PRO Tip 4: A portable travel fan will come in handy. PRO Tip 5: Buy Euro at first island stop for less than getting it at home if not your currency.

We had the best experience n memories from this cruise ! It’s the first time we have ever done a small cruise like this ! It’s the prefect way to learn more about Croatia ! We loved the fact that we docked in a new town/ island every night where we can discover or do an activity during the day and find a place for dinner ! breakfasts are provided And a 3 course lunch ! The meals were all very nicely Presented and always hot ! In this cruise we also had a very fun captains dinner and a village dinner ! We loved the lamb pekka - still dreaming of how tasty it was ! Our cabin was very comfortable as we were very lucky to get the one in front and we had ample room and very comfortable! 1 thing that can be improved is to put an electrical fan in the cabin as the air con was not strong enough ! kudos must be given to the cleanliness of the Katarina boat ! crew is constantly cleaning and I have not seen a cleaner boat .. and finally the crew ! Thank you to captain Ivan, Goran, Ivana n Nikos

I can honestly say that my experience aboard the Katarina of Sail Croatia was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was beautifully organized, relaxed, and welcoming. The cruise was a fantastic way to discover the Croatian coast, with its breathtaking islands, crystal-clear waters, charming towns, and unforgettable swimming stops. Every day brought something new, while the atmosphere on board made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. A special thank you to the wonderful crew, who were attentive, professional, warm, and always ready to help. Their hospitality truly made the trip memorable. The food, service, organization, and overall standard were excellent. What I will remember most, however, are the people we met, the laughter, the beautiful moments, and the incredible memories we created along the way. The Katarina of Sail Croatia cruise was a truly a special experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

We had an amazing time on the romantic star, and Lola was outstanding, informative, and helpful as our guide throughout the entire trip.

We definitely will return and the friends we made on the trip will last a lifetime.

Highly recommend Sail Croatia. The people made the experience what it was; all of the crew and cruise director are superb! The crew was attentive, incredibly friendly, and remembered the small details that made interactions extra special. Our cruise director, Vedran, is wonderful. He’s knowledgeable, communicative, always one step ahead. His daily briefings were a welcome start to the day. The ship is family-owned and they take immense pride and care in the upkeep. They are present throughout the journey and even welcomes a few of us into the wheelhouse to talk to us about navigating the ship. Overall, a wonderful experience and I will definitely travel with Sail Croatia again.

Our trip was beautiful in near every way. The crew were especially attentive, flexible, experienced and friendly. Our tour manager Vedran was key to our experience. He was the perfect balance of friendliness, professionalism and competence. The boat was comfortable and well appointed (although the WiFi was challenging outside the salon). The food was good with much variety available although if cuisine is your top priority it was good, not great. Our smaller ship allowed us to visit smaller ports not overrun with 1000s from large vessels. The itinerary introduced us to different experiences at each port, from a small fishing village to the glitzy riviera. A daily briefing allowed us to learn about each port and guided us to see the unique offerings and “must sees.” I was skeptical about the claim we’d have many new friends…. I was wrong, it’s 100% true. We enjoyed this so much we may very well do it again…. And we never do that. If you are on the fence, take this trip. Really.

Dino was a very good tour leader, esp. nominating specific restaurants to eat evening meals at on each island we frequented. The crew were attentive, the cabin cleaning staff were top notch. Swim stops were great. Food was good but there seemed to be an extensive use of puréed vegetables! Music played non stop inside the boat even if no one was there? Still, a good experience.

The cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on the Romantic Star yacht was wonderful. To take things step by step: a beautiful yacht, a comfortable and cozy cabin, and impeccable cleanliness and order maintained on board. Dino, the tour manager, was exceptionally caring—always ready to help, explain, and go above and beyond for the guests' well-being. The entire crew worked efficiently, seamlessly, and unobtrusively. Everything was simply great. However, it could have reached an even higher standard if not for the food on board. There is definitely room for improvement here. Can what is shown in the photo really be called a salad? Also, given the high price of such a short cruise, the company wouldn't go broke providing a bottle of drinking water in the guests' cabins every day. To repeat, everything was five-star, but it could be truly unforgettable with better food quality and a few extra small touches.
- Yuliy, 28/07/2026 03:49, Travelled in a Couple
We had an absolutely amazing time on the Queen Jelena! Everything was top notch and everyone talked about how it was one of the best vacations that we have ever taken. Our cruise director Dino went out of his way to make sure every guest was taken care of and he really ensured everything was great! I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole crew. My favorite part was the swim stops, such a pleasure to swim right from the boat in beautiful locations.

This was an excellent cruise. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, the daily swims from the boat, the breakfasts and the superb help and guidance in any and all matters from our assigned guide, Dino, The Queen Jelena is an excellent boat. Our only suggestions for improvement would be better ventilation in the bathrooms and the availability of simple laundry service while on board.
- James, 22/07/2026 16:31, Travelled in a Couple
Very nice ship in top condition and handled well by Captain. Had upper deck cabin….nice bathroom/shower but bed too firm and pillows lacking. Cruise Director “Dino” was excellent….5 stars! His knowledge, attentiveness to everyone was top shelf. A real gem of a cruise director. Stewardesses and deck-hands 5 stars. Cook has mixed reviews …if you like food well done then no complaint. But we liked our food medium rare and unfortunately all dinners except two were well done. Presentation and deserts very good. Nice swim stop locations and interesting ports. Overall…we give it an 9.0 with only real complaint: Not asking passengers how they liked their meat or fish cooked. There were only 6 couples on our cruise. It could have been handled easily in the galley.

Our week aboard the Olimp was truly wonderful and one we’ll remember for a long time. With just 14 guests, everyone quickly got to know each other, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We shared lots of laughs, enjoyed beautiful weather, and loved the fantastic swimming stops in crystal-clear waters. The crew was exceptional throughout. A special thank you to Lola, our Tour Manager, for being so helpful, friendly, and informative. Linda and Ally always served us with a smile, while Nikolina looked after our cabin brilliantly. The food was excellent, so thanks to the chef and sous-chef. Captain Yure (George) navigated us safely and professionally, and the hardworking crew behind the scenes kept everything running smoothly. Their dedication made our cruise unforgettable. Thank you to the entire Olimp team. Croatia’s stunning coastline is truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to return.

We were sailing on Olimp - what a gorgeous, luxurious ship. Everything was amazing-the cabins, the food, the crew. It was a fabulous way to see the islands, and as there were only 14 of us on the boat, we had made some great friends. And Linda deserves a special mention as she makes the best Aperol Spritz! We were thoroughly spoilt for the whole week.

The holiday was excellent. The boat was splendid, decks and cabins clean and tidy, crew expert and helpful, and food excellent with good variety and not too much local which we could get ashore. The helpful personal human contact from the UK office was much appreciated. Guide Vicko was charming, expert, and very helpful with recommendations and arrangements. He should be a little more aware of those who are less fit and techie; at Mljet to point out that the path had steep steps with dangerously poor surfaces; and in Brac he omitted that the good Navigare restaurant was not 'over there' across the haven, but at the end of it within the boatyard with no notice at the gate but a keep out sign, so we walked a long way looking for it. Some do not have whatsapp: basic arrangements etc could be printed or put on a notice board plus a list of guests and crew to help learn. Many thanks to all.

The swim platform was the perfect way to ensure everyone could be included with our daily swim stops. The staff were all very friendly. Food was fantastic. Our rep, Vic, was so helpful and knowledgeable including an additional history talk in addition to the daily location information sessions and recommendations. Captain George was phenomenal - diverted the yacht to enable us to get a trip to a Blue Cave, and I really appreciated that he warned us ahead of time of some rough seas enabling timely medications!

It was very fair, the weather was excellent and the staff on the ship were very good. Friendly, helpful and provide excellent service. The food on board were excellent and both the chef and his helper did an exception job. Considering with a small kitchen and serve 29 people daily. Your manager did a excellent job. The biggest issues is the itinerary. Way too much idle time. I am a veteran of river cruises and this is certainly no comparison to those programs. May I suggest that perhaps add some more activities to each island that we visited. Alternate lunch and dinner on board. On the final stop, Dubrovnik, sail pass with the view of the old town must be added. For the life of me, I can't believe we didn't do it. Instead we had a swim just outside for an hour just to wait for docking, is the fuel that expensive?

From the moment we stepped on board Katarina we were blown away by the attention to detail by the crew and how amazing the boat was. The itinerary was perfect, with a great mix of tours and plenty of time to still relax and unwind along the stunning Croatian coastline. Our tour manager Anita was enthusiastic, thoughtful and a passionate person, that had everything covered from the moment we arrived.

We’ve just disembarked from Sail Croatia’s vessel Olimp and their “Elegance Cruise”. Island hopping between Split and Dubrovnik. It was the most relaxing and interesting week in the company of a crew devouted to our every need and a Sail Croatia rep who made the whole week so enjoyable. Our fellow guests were a super bunch of people from diverse backgrounds but all with the same passion for enjoying the Olimp’s luxurious facilities and the culture of Croatia’s fabulous people. Leaving the super ship was like leaving a “home from home”. We will keep memories of Sail Croatia and our fellow guests as fond memories for years to come!

We’ve just had one of the best holidays of our lives with Sail Croatia onboard the Katarina. The above deck cabin was clean and comfortable. The food was delicious and the staff were warm, friendly and always attentive. The trip from Split to Dubrovnik return over seven days was made even more enjoyable by our Tour Manager Nicos. He arranged the activities, offered advice and guidance on each location and always had a list of superb restaurants for us to try. Every day we stopped at an idyllic location for a swim before heading to another beautiful island stopover. We’re aleady considering our next trip with Sail Croatia.

We landed in Dubrovnik only to discover our trip on another line cancelled. Stunned and scrambling for other options we came across Sail Croatia and reached their UK office on a Saturday morning regarding their Sunday sail date. They couldn’t be kinder or more accommodating to us. They had a few room options available on the Esplenade and suggested we come to the port to see for ourselves. The boat was great… we signed up and set sail. Given our previously planned trip was part of a group, we really hadn’t thought about what might or might not be included with the Sail Croatia cruise, but my wife and I could not have been more pleased. The crew was fantastic, the food was exceptional, the care for the boat was immaculate, and the trip guide Klara was a surprise beyond any expectation - she was sweet, funny, informative and helpful, We fell in love with the islands, the Dalmatian people, the culture and Sail Croatia. Thank you for saving the weeK and for a great experience!

We had an incredible time and Croatia was beautiful. Our cabin was quite spacious and the shower was good. We would have liked to see a kettle and cups in the room. The food was excellent and there was a good variety of food for lunch. It was nice to see land whilst cruising along. The islands we visited were beautiful and the swim stops were very enjoyable. I do feel the suggested tips for the staff were very high, 105 euros per person for the host on a ship of 36 people is 3,780 euros for the week. Whilst our host was very good it is still an awful lot of money for one person in tips alone. All in all an excellent experience and we would highly recommend the trip.

We had a fantastic time cruising on the Olimp. Croatia was beautiful, the yacht was incredible and the staff was attentive, friendly, and hard working. Our cruise even had a weather issues which the captain and crew worked through to give us a full itinerary. I can honestly say that this was one of our best vacations to date and I would recommend this type of vacation to others.

The only thing that would have made this week long sail of the Dalmatian coast and islands better would have been to book back to back cruises. I definitely will do that next time.

Our cruise on the Esperanza with Sail Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik was an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was fantastic, taking us to beautiful destinations including Vis, the Blue Cave, Brač, Hvar, Mljet and Korčula. A particular highlight was cycling through Mljet National Park with our newly made friends from the cruise, as well as visiting a remote village and enjoying authentic local dishes. Every stop offered something unique and memorable. A huge thank you to our Tour Manager, Klara, whose professionalism and warm personality helped make the trip so enjoyable. Special thanks also to Ivo and Mio for their outstanding service and friendliness throughout the cruise. The entire crew worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had a wonderful holiday, but the biggest praise must go to the Chef and kitchen team. The lunches were simply exceptional—so delicious that many passengers were asking for the recipes! We would highly recommend Sail Croatia and the Esperanza to anyone l

My family had three cabins on the ship for the week. We enjoyed it thoroughly! The ship was 100% clean, beautiful and well organized. The beds and linens, outstanding. The crew absolutely focused on exceeding expectations. The Chef and his assistant prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches. Captain’s dinner evening was exceptional, and they brought on board a great musician to entertain us. Everybody danced and had a ball! The swim stops were a blast. And each port showed us a different dimension of Croatia. My wife and I would take this cruise again in a heartbeat!

The cruise on the Olimp was fantastic. All the crew performed magnificently. The food was superb and getting to know the fellow passengers was lots of fun. I would recommend this cruise for a great holiday.
- Ray, 26/05/2026 13:08, Travelled in a Couple
Perfect from start to finish. Olimp is a beautiful and well maintained ship. The crew, from the Captain down were superb and looked after all our needs, always smiling and so helpful. Food, breakfast and lunch was excellent. The planning of each day and all the tours made for a busy but most enjoyable experience. Thoroughly recommended and we will be going again next year.
- Graham, 26/05/2026 10:52, Travelled with Family
Cruise Director Dino is a national treasure. If ever I am playing "Croatia Trivia" I want Dino at my side. No question was too difficult or obscure. The food on board was great, especially from such a small galley. The opportunity to dine on shore at a restaurant of our choice was great for tasting Croatia cuisine and meeting locals. We discovered some grape varietals on the wine list we were not familiar with. The Captains Dinner was a blast!

A wonderful, relaxing holiday, with an amazing host, (Dino) and great crew. The experience was high quality, from the cabin, bathroom size and hot water, through to food, wines, swim stops, island locations and excursions. First Class and would do again !
- Gerhard, 26/05/2026 05:07, Travelled with Family
The sailing holiday was very good, the boat , OLIMP, was great and the size of the cabin brilliant. Service was very good by the staff and Dino was quite good as the co-ordinator. The only issue was with the payment of the bar. tab at the end of the trip and what cards that were accepted. A few things should be made clearer at the start of the trip so as not to have them becoming an issue on the last night. I will be recommending this trip to fiends for sure.

I chose Sail Croatia for the first week of our 4 week tour of Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro because the beautiful ships of the Sail Croatia fleet are both stunning and luxurious. Once onboard for the Romantic Star wine cruise I realized what a good decision I made. Immaculate is the word that comes to mind. Comfortable beds with soft duvets and ample pillows in spacious staterooms. Slept like a baby every night waking refreshed and ready for the wonderful excursions (wine tastings!) planned by the Sail Croatia crew. Cruising the coastal islands of Croatia for a week really sets the scene for a luxurious blend of Croatian cuisine, wines and culture. Can’t say enough about our tour manager Klara who was onboard with us 24/7 and catered to our every need, questions and requests.

We expected to have a great time and our experience blew that away!! From the time we stepped on the yacht right through the last day we were treated to perfection. Each member of the 8 person crew worked hard to make this happen. In addition our Sail Croatia representative Vicko kept us informed on everything. From things to do, things to see, experiences not to miss, places to eat, night life, and history of Croatia. We felt like we knew each island before we even step foot on land. We highly recommend seeing Croatia on board Sail Croatia!!

My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Esperanza with an incredible guide and leader, Dino and an exceptional crew. My wife had a few dietary restrictions, and the chef and team accommodated it beautifully without adversely impacting the quality of food to us all. It was really fantastic!

We did the Elegance Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik cruise on Esperanza and had a fantastic time. Dino, our tour guide, was super professional, friendly, and communicative with the entire group and really made our trip memorable. He answered all our questions, gave excellent recommendations for dining & sightseeing, and managed the details of our transportation back to the airport flawlessly. Ivo and Mio also deserve special mention from the crew since they were particularly attentive and friendly throughout the cruise and helped those of us wanting to learn some Serbo-Croatian with patience and humor. Captain Jure was a total professional and clearly a skilled seaman as he guided us through some heavy seas on our return to Dubrovnik. Overall a fantastic visit to some of Croatia’s most beautiful spots with a wonderful ship & crew.

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!
