The cruise was lovely, very relaxed. Buffet breakfast in morning, swim stops and relaxing, then 3 course lunch and afternoon is free with lots of suggestions and opportunities to enjoy each stop. Staff were all so friendly and kind. Our below deck rooms were high quality and spotlessly clean. Food was high quality. The staff made everything easy and fun. Island stops were fabulous loved them all. Salve de mere was a beautiful ship spotlessly clean. Thank you Sail Croatia

I took my 19 year old daughter on the Esperanza Explorer cruise and it exceeded my expectations by far. The ship was beautiful, the rooms spacious, the staff fantastic and knowledgeable and the itinerary was perfect. We met a huge variety of people and had a chance to connect and make new friends due to the intimate size of the cruise. Sailing to a new swim spot each morning was the BEST way to start the day, Follow that with a superb lunch and just the right amount of education on the next ports history and things to do and then we were off to explore, wine taste, kayak, hike, shop or just hang at the beach. I think this is the best way to see some of the amazing smaller islands of Croatia with the comfort of not packing and unpacking. Highly recommend Sail Croatia.

The whole experience was fantastic. Great crew and guests on board (not to mention the weather). Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you!

The entire cruise was just beautiful. From the greeting, the food, the cleanliness and especially the service! Top notch in all areas. A must do if you want to visit the islands of Croatia. The cruise director was great in giving a run down of the next port and excursions. We just signed up and showed up! The company provided the transportation to the excursions if necessary! Truly an awesome experience!

My wife and I planned this trip so my wife could visit the homeland of her grandmother. This was the best way to experience Croatia and the Dalmatian Islands. The crew was excellent. Dino and Capt Josip managed through upcoming potential weather patterns to maximize our enjoyment. The other travelers quickly became friends and eventually we all felt like a family. Cruising with Sail Croatia is definitely recommended to anyone we interact with once the topic of vacation enters the conversation. Thank you to Dino, Capt Josip, Kristina, Cesar, Ivan, Capo, Bogdan and Marko. You are all assets to the brand. My wife and I will be traveling with Sail Croatia again.
- Michael, 12/08/2025 10:15, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I both agreed that this was the best vacation we have ever had. We just completed the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise and it was absolutely amazing. The Dalmatian Coast of Croatia and the Adriatic Sea are absolutely breathtaking. Every view was picture perfect; so that was a great start. Then, our ship, our crew and our fellow travelers made the overall experience outstanding. The crew took care of our every need. They were thoughtful and gracious. Our rooms were spacious and clean. The food was very good with generous portions. It was also a lot of fun interacting with our fellow travelers. Every stop had something new and interesting to see and the history mixed with the beauty makes this trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and we will definitely be back! Thank you to the Almissa crew for the best vacation ever!

The entire crew made this trip special. Dino was so helpful with a full list of suggestions, location and all the information needed. The bartender/servers were so friendly and always hade huge smiles. Christina and Cesar are just fabulous. The boat crew and Captain were also so professional and made us feel right at home.
- Dawn, 11/08/2025 13:21, Travelled with Family
An absolutely stunning week, our guide for the week Lola and all the staff onboard were fantastic. We can't imagine having a better week.
- John, 11/08/2025 13:10, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you so much to the Sail Croatia team! Vic and his colleagues were fantastic - friendly, informative, accommodating, and always available. Regarding the food, Inow realize I should have been a little more specific on my preferences, as a vegetarian. Very heavy on the carbohydrates including bread and pasta, which we had for lunch several days. I would love salads and fresh vegetables/greens with meals. All in all this trip was fantastic. So pleased with the experience, and would definitely consider doing it again.
- Kathy, 11/08/2025 13:09, Travelled with Family
I have done many cruises, this was by far one of the best. The crew and our Tour director Dino made it very enjoyable. Dino was extremely organized in setting up each stop and excursions. Was very informative regarding dinner and even went a step above making reservations. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Teresa, 11/08/2025 12:11, Travelled with Family
I was a little anxious going on this trip as a solo female traveller, but was lucky to have a great group of people who made it a very special week. Sail Croatia have got the balance just right between relaxation and activities. It's a very well organised operation, and Vicko did a great job giving us the information we needed on a daily basis. The Tempera crew were fun and attentive. What our boat lacked in glitz and glamour it made up for with character. The meals were very good, I would have loved to see a bit of steamed green vegetable like chard, beans or broccoli on the plates at lunch. Optional activities were great fun, wine tasting on Stari Grad was a highlight. Whilst the buggy trip on Korcula was fun (and spectacular) it felt rushed, and we had only 20 minutes at the stunning beach for a quick swim. Maybe given the custom that they receive from Sail Croatia they can negotiate more time there? The swim stops were a highlight. It was a great way to see a lot in one week.
- Cat, 11/08/2025 10:02, Travelled Solo
My sister and I had an incredible trip on the Tempera from August 2-9, 2025, exploring Sale, Croatia. The experience was truly stellar, thanks to the phenomenal crew and captain. They created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that felt like a floating home. Our tour guide, Vicko, was a highlight. His knowledge brought Croatia's history and culture to life. With just 25 guests, the intimate setting fostered quick friendships for all aboard. We shared meals, laughs, and adventures, making lasting connections. This trip perfectly blended relaxation and adventure! We loved every moment and highly recommend this unique cruise to anyone seeking a memorable Croatian experience. A huge thank you to the crew and especially Vicko for a trip of a lifetime!
- Deborah, 11/08/2025 09:49, Travelled with Family
We had a fabulous time on Salve de Mare! The crew were fabulous and our tour manager Lola was excellent. Everything about our week was wonderful and would 100% recommend to others!
- Emily , 11/08/2025 09:46, Travelled with Family
I was pleased to do the Explorer Sail Croatia the past week. I was impressed with the organisation of everything to make the cruise as fun as possible. Ivana was our guide, and she is fantastic. Due to a cancelled flight, I missed the boat departure, but as soon as I got in touch, Ivana guided me on how to get to the boat the next morning. The crew was also excellent, heads up to the chef and Miro. The optional excursion was so much fun. I also loved the boat, Mali Ante. I recommend Sail Croatia 100%.
- Alessandra, 11/08/2025 08:36, Travelled Solo
A great experience and really friendly/personable crew. Really helpful to get the most out of the sail experience over the 7 days. Highly recommend sail-Croatia as a vacation.
- Kerry, 11/08/2025 08:09, Travelled with Family
The whole experience was fantastic! The crew, our group, the food , excursions were fabulous. I thoroughly recommend this 7 day sail from Split to Dubrovnik. Personally it would have been better to do Split to Dubrovnik instead especially if you need to get to other countries.
- Debbie, 11/08/2025 05:24, Travelled with Family
Dino was an amazing guide. We were always well informed about what was happening and recommendations both in the lunch briefing and in the group chat. He was always available if you had any questions. The food was amazing and the crew were friendly and efficient.
- Matt, 11/08/2025 04:48, Travelled in a Couple
The small boat experience is special. You get to know people from around the world. The small crew gets to know people and they take care of things a simple as I don't like mushrooms (so the day they had mushroom soup, I got pumpkin soup). The tour director, Dino, was very knowledgeable and that helped us get the most out of each port.
- Corey, 11/08/2025 00:38, Travelled with Family
Cruising with sail Croatia was the perfect mix of relaxing and adventure. Our boat, the Tempura, was great and Anita, our sail Croatia representative, made everything so easy! She sent us recommendations at every stop that were all amazing and made all of the logistics with excursions so easy. You could tell she really cared about everyone having the best trip possible! Our itinerary changed due to some weather but she still able to coordinate everything perfectly!

This was the best vacation ever! I love everything about this trip. Very professional crew ! Great food ! Great time! Dino was great , very knowledgeable about history, helpful, he was fun , We definitely will be back to same boat , hopefully with same crew! See you soon . Miss you all already.
- Nicole , 04/08/2025 12:16, Travelled in a Couple
The crew on Mali Ante are absolutely phenomenal! They are kind, accommodating, fun and work at the very high level of service in the industry relentlessly. Our tour manager, Lola, really made every day exciting and shortlisted everything which was best and worth our money! She is patient, so kind, funny and makes every location experience better with tailored and realistic reviews. Very grateful for the experience especially as a solo female. Felt so safe and cared for!
- Anelia , 04/08/2025 10:36, Travelled Solo
We had an amazing week on Mali Ante with Sail Croatia. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The boat was spotless, our cabin was spacious, and the comfy deck chairs on the top deck were perfect for relaxing. The crew were fantastic, especially Mario, who went above and beyond for my gluten-free needs and always had a smile on his face. The chef’s meals were incredible and tasted like a gourmet meals. Our guide Lola was full of great tips and went above and beyond. We were lucky to have such a fun group onboard. We made genuine friends. The first couple of days brought bad weather, but it didn’t dampen the trip. The captain quickly adjusted the route for safety and enjoyment, choosing to stay longer in a town with more to do. A great call which was clearly explained.. The swim stops, beautiful islands, and ending in Dubrovnik made it unforgettable. We’d absolutely recommend the Explorer Cruise on Mali Ante, the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and great people.

We really enjoyed our time on the Salve Di Mare. The locations we visited were beautiful! Absolutely stunning. Our cruise director Dino was friendly and informative. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond though. The rooms were nice and always cleaned well. The cruise is expensive and we really do not believe that is was worth the price we paid. The food was average at best. Well cooked, but boring. Breakfast was front 8 -9.30 with zero flexibility. No food or options for food is offered between breakfast and lunch. So if you miss breakfast, bad luck. Lunch was a 3 course meal and although I eat everything, my partner doesn't eat fish and instead received a piece of 'stuffed' half zucchini instead. During swim stops, which were again, stunning! While on the top deck reading a book, no one ever came up to ask if you'd like a drink! I found that the most puzzling. Wouldn't you want to make money?! Hard to give 3 stars, we loved it!
- Luke Carvell, 04/08/2025 08:10, Travelled in a Couple
Our experience on Sail Croatia was nothing short of a trip of a lifetime! 7 days exploring the coast of Croatia, surrounded by beautiful staff and guests, local, fresh food every day, the bluest of waters for your swim stops and elegant rooms and facilities! Captain Gordan and his team ensure your experience on Kraljica Jelena is one you will never forget. If there were an option to stay longer on that boat we would have in a heartbeat! My partner and I got engaged during our stay and our time on Sail Croatia will now forever hold a special place in our hearts. We wanted to thank each and every team member for their efforts and attention to detail and highly recommend this experience over sourcing your own experiences/accommodation if travelling the coast. From the bottom of our hearts pino vam hvala!
- Angelka, 31/07/2025 12:34, Travelled in a Couple
Wonderful week on the Princeza Diana! Thank you Ana and the crew! The swim stops were so refreshing and cool, the boat was perfectly comfortable and the cities were absolutely beautiful! Perfect way to see the Dalmatian Coast. Next time, the bike tour!
- Patrick, 30/07/2025 23:17, Travelled with Family
There is truly not enough space for me to explain how phenomenal this trip was! If you are even considering Croatia as a destination, CHOOSE THIS CRUISE! The guide was knowledgable and thorough, but FUN! The food was fresh and top tier every onboard meal. The skills of the Captain were literally awe inspiring. The housekeeping was tidy, homey and love filled. The drinks were extremely tasty, but the bartenders were attentive, entertaining and always on point. The excursions were full of adventure and breathtaking beauty - and the friends we met wile on the ship will hopefully be a part of our lives forever. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE ENOUGH. BOOK IT!.
- Erin Leigh & Michael, 30/07/2025 18:51, Travelled in a Couple
We had the most amazing time sailing with Sail Croatia! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The boat was surprisingly spacious — the rooms were much larger than we imagined for a boat, and everything was spotless throughout the trip. The food was absolutely delicious. But what truly made the trip unforgettable was the staff on this trip. Huge shoutout to our fantastic guide Klara, who was knowledgeable, helpful, and always full of positive energy. We also want to give a special thanks to Christina, Ceaser, Marcos, and Evan — the most upbeat, friendly, and professional crew we could have asked for. Their good vibes and incredible service truly elevated our whole experience. We’ll 100% be back for another Sail Croatia adventure. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable sailing holiday!
- Cody, 30/07/2025 15:55, Travelled in a Couple
We spent an idyllic week on the Salve di Mare touring the islands and I can honestly say it was one of the best holidays I’ve ever taken. The group was fantastic with so many laughs, jokes, and boat jumps at our daily swim stop. The boat is beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. The crew outdid themselves - fantastic service from Marco and Vlaho, and food from Arijan and Tina, expert sailing from Duje and Mario, led by Frane, plus everything kept ship shape by Monika. And we couldn’t have asked for a better tour manager in Mario. At every stop he could tell us all the best places to explore, things to do, and where to eat. I would recommend this trip to anyone -worth every penny, as it’s your hotel, breakfast, lunch, daily excursion, and transfers all rolled into one and carried out in style.
- Selena, 30/07/2025 15:25, Travelled in a Couple
The explorer cruise was the perfect decision for us! We had a wonderful time to equally relax, have fun and endlessly explore the islands. Having your accommodation, transportation and restaurant in one place is so convenient to recharge if you are in the middle of an intense long trip like ourselves. Our week with Sail Croatia was not only outstanding but it elevated our whole trip experience since we had intense travel days before and after. Our boat was the Tempera, the crew is wonderful, the chef is amazing, all lunch courses were exquisite. Nikos, our tour guide manager, was above and beyond the best, if you're traveling with him you are GUARANTEED to have the best time, he was fun and dynamic but also respectful and very knowledgeable; I traveled with my partner, who is a profesor, and we both enjoyed all the historical context Nikos provided daily, he also answered all of our questions! I also recommend taking the extra tours specially the Mljet ride and the Split/Omis Zipline!
- Eloisa Martínez , 30/07/2025 11:50, Travelled in a Couple
We had another unforgettable week on Salve di mare. We did the same trip last year and loved it so much we came back this year. Salve di mare is an amazing boat with an even better crew. Frane, the Captain of the boat, is very experienced and took us to the best secluded swimming stops every day. His crew is a testament to his leadership as they are all amazing! Big shout out to the waiters Marko and Vlaho in the restaurant and the bar, they made our stay fun, they were always on hand for drinks and chats and an absolutely massive shout out to our chef Arijan and his sauce chef Tina. They kept us well fed. All their meals were delicious, prepared from scratch with fresh, local ingredients. Can't recommend this boat and this experience high enough. It really is the best way to see the Croatian coast. So much to do and see in absolute comfort and no packing or hustle to get to the next destination. Go! you won't regret it!
- Michaela , 30/07/2025 06:09, Travelled with Family
Staff: Friendly service for creating a welcoming atmosphere. Scenery and destinations: Stunning Croatian landscapes, with opportunities to swim in crystal-clear waters and visit picturesque towns. Organization and inclusions: From the initial contact with the London office to the cruise itself, everything is well organized. The cruises feature excellent tours and helpful guidance from tour managers when exploring new destinations.

From the first hour, Anita and the crew on the Tempera made sure we were having a great time. Every stop was breathtaking with multiple opportunities for swims and excursions without feeling rushed. This is an unmissable opportunity - definitely book! Thank you so much to Anita and the Tempera for making our trip the best it could possibly be - the team really made it excellent.

We have just returned from a week on Almissa, having been on the same ship 3 years previously, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about our cruise and were lucky to find a great group of like minded travellers on board who were brilliant company and very friendly. Almissa has an amazing crew, a captain who was very present and easy to chat to and hardworking, fun bar and serving staff. Klara was a fantastic guide with her humour, knowledge and helpfulness, she really made everything go seamlessly and was a lot of fun. Everyone worked hard and couldn’t do enough for us. We felt that the food was better this time than 3 years ago, so well done to the kitchen staff. We enjoyed all the beautiful towns and looked forward to the daily swim stops. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cruise and may even try another week with Sail Croatia in the future.
- Julie, 25/07/2025 19:28, Travelled with Family
I had a 5 star experience on Sail Croatia explorer cruise for many reasons including the wonderful group of people onboard, the staff who attended to every need, the swim stops, excursions on offer, and the meals were 10/10 (the staff were also very accommodating when I informed them I don’t eat red meat). Our Sail Croatia Representative, Vicko, went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could be, he was always willing to offer advice, to join us on excursions, provide relative and interesting information about the locations we visited, and tailor our experiences to ensure we had the best time possible. He was the best tour guide I have ever met, he helped me to find a local chemist, made restaurant recommendations, and assisted in making local bookings. I feel the experience would not have been the same without him, and he became a friend to all by the end of the cruise. I will be back and will be recommending this trip to others as it was such a positive experience.
- Jodie, 23/07/2025 13:57, Travelled Solo
From the moment we stepped on the boat to the moment we departed we received excellent care from our Tempera cruise manager Nikos and his team. Nikos and his team were warm friendly and attentive to our every need. Nikos kept us informed via the WhatsApp group chat and daily announcements and did a fantastic job of coordinating all of the fun and interesting activities. The food which included daily breakfast and lunch were delicious. I also really enjoyed the fact that it was a smaller boat with about 35 guests. We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know our lovely fellow guests from around the world and it was fun to interact with them all during the various activities that were organized on our various stops and to run into them while out and about on the islands. Another thing that I really liked was being able to visit several amazing and beautiful places in a week without needing to pack and unpack between stops. This was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

My partner and I booked onto this trip to Croatia to join family who had already booked on. We all enjoyed a fantastic holiday and had a wonderful time away. Our experience on Almissa was first class - a wonderful ship with excellent facilities, friendly and hardworking crew members, and tasty onboard meals. There is nothing we would have changed, everything was great, and we have already recommended this trip to friends as the best way to visit Croatia. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for a fabulous holiday and wonderful memories!

From the moment we stepped on the ship until we stepped off, each part was wonderful. The ship crew was absolutely the best- helpeful, accomodating, friendly. The ship was maintained to the highest standards- everything was clean and fresh. The meals on the ship were great (only overshaddowed by the amazing Croatian food we ate while on land). Our Sail Croatia representive was helpful, always available, and provided great insight to opportunities at each port.

Was a pleasant suprise having Captain Gordan again 11 years later! Trip was spectacular with highly knowledgeable guide Vicko. The hospitality on board Kraljica Jelena was stellar. Loved the Captain's Dinner which was very traditional Croatian, so it felt like I was eating at home! Great swim stops and fantastic round two. Would go again!
