My wife and I really enjoyed the fun, sights and camaraderie of our island-hopping cycling trip. Our expert guides, Miranda and Matilda, were there to guide us on each of the rides according to our abilities and encourage the group to support one another on this terrific, shared experience. Each of the island ports and rides on the trip showed the contrasts of this coastline. Thanks Sail Croatia for making this such a memorable highlight of holiday.

Our week with Sail Croatia on the bike cruise was nothing less than wonderful. Our tour guides, Josep and Illona were very knowledgeable and patient. We had a wonderful time getting to know our fellow ship mates and exploring the small Croatian islands. I certainly hope to be back soon.

This was my first time to Croatia and my daughter and I spent our first week on the Sale Croatia boat, the Princesa Diana. This was a pretty remarkable time. They have figured out everything you need for a great cruise. You sail from Island to Island, bike in the morning, swim in the afternoon and make some great friends. If you’re not comfortable biking longer distances, definitely choose the E bike The food and company is terrific. I saw more of Croatia than I ever would have done on my own. I highly recommend this company.

When you combine bikes, beaches, islands, great food and new friends it doesn't get much better than this. The islands we went to and the scenic bike rides were beautiful. Our guides Josef and Ilona were fantastic. Both were very engaging, informative and had a great sense of humour. Josef was conscientious of all riders abilities, he was such a great leader and made our trip very fun in so many ways. The crew on the boat were also great. The chef put out incredible meals every time - everyone was talking about the meals. Overall, an amazing experience.

I went on the Sail Croatia cycle cruise (Dubrovnik to Split) in June/July 2025 with my immediate family. Despite the heat, we had a marvelous time. The biking aspect was well-organized and our guides, Miranda and Matilda, were full of information and stories about our cycling routes and destinations. They were so much fun! The crew (apologies for lack of the correct Croatian letters on my keyboard), Toncii, Halim, Dinko, Zdravko, and our Captain Ivan, made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Each day brought a different view of Croatia. What a memorable way to spend my first visit here! Would love to come back :)

Cannot say enough about this bike/cruise we took with Sail Croatia. Perfect weather, excellent staff & crew on our ship (the COLUMBO), small sized passenger group (twenty four in all, making for relaxed, easy mingling, creative and delicious use of food on board, and just wonderful stops all along the Southern Route, SPLIT to DUBROVNIK. I wish we'd had more time to double back and do the Northern route as well, as some of our fellow passengers had done. Perhaps we'll get back soon! Truly, the trip of a Lifetime.

I loved all the rides...and the electric bikes were wonderful. We had excellent guides: Guide Ana gave us some great history information for of all the places we toured. Guide Andre kept the pace going and prepared us very well for each phase of the bike ride. The food was ok but needs to be updated. The salad lunch buffet was the best meal served. Guest wants light food--not soups when the temperature is hot outside or creme cake desserts at the end of every meal. . Food was tasty but the chef needs to cook for 2025--NOT back in the 1980! Otherwise--excellent trip and I will highly recommend the trip to all my friends. I would go on another but at a different location.

Superb trip, so well looked after by all the crew and our wonderful guides Miranda and Matilda. When they said e bikes were powerful , too true. No hill however steep was an issue! Worth paying the extra for e-bike as it made cycling in the heat pleasurable. Also worth paying extra for cabin up top. Travelling with my sister in law , we had plenty of space and bathroom was fine. Food was tasty and there was always tea, coffee and water available . Finally , excellent company from a varied group of companions from all over the world. . Thankyou one and all.

Just returned from a cycling cruise with Sail Croatia and it exceeded every expectation. The experience was seamless, adventurous, and full of heart. Huge shoutout to our incredible guides, Tonka and Sanja — a true dream team. Tonka’s biking expertise and Sanja’s rich regional knowledge elevated every moment. Their chemistry, energy, and care made the journey unforgettable. The onboard crew was just as fantastic — thoughtful, attentive, and always ahead of our needs. They found incredible swim spots and created a welcoming, relaxed vibe from day one. The group dynamic was a joy thanks to Tonka and Sanja’s humor and warmth — we bonded fast and felt like family. And the food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. This trip struck the perfect balance of challenge, culture, and comfort. I can’t recommend it enough — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Tonka and Sanja as your guides.

This is one of the best examples of an ‘Expedition’ Cruise. The combination of exercise with beautiful scenery, camaraderie, swimming in the Adriatic, food & beverages and great company was an amazing experience.

This trip aboard the Mali Luka was amazing. We are big time cruisers and usually sail with big ships like Princess. We've done one Viking cruise but this one was so amazing. There were only 28 total passengers and we all got along great; it's like they hand picked people that all had the same outlook and personality. The rides each day were to the most beautiful areas I've ever been to. The e bikes made even the steep uphill climbs easy. We were given options on some of the days to stop or to continue our rides (some even choose to not go on some at all). Our ride crew Miranda and Matilda were so great; always looking out for us and keeping us safe with perfect pacing. Sitting on the top deck while we cruised along was my favorite part. We choose the bottom deck cabin which was super small and tight. No complaints by anyone on any level about noise from other ships. The crew worked very hard (not super friendly but friendly enough). Captains dinner was nice; very nice guy.

The bikes, guides and staff were all great. The only hassle was finding which way to go at the bus station on arrival but apparently from that everything else was smooth sailing

The crewmates and tour guides were wonderful always being very nice. Everyone on the islands we went to already respected them. They gave off the coil camp counselor energy allowing kids to be kids and still do fun stuff while also keeping everyone safe.

Ivan and Lucy were phenomenal guides. They took us to beautiful out of the way places. They took time to research ahead of time the most authentic Croatian experiences. We got to meet local people and experience their way of life. All while experiencing incredible scenery on off the beaten track roads. They were encouraging and nurturing. Felt very safe and supported on the bike rides. Lucy was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and her stories were very educational. Getting back to the boat was always a treat because Andre knew what we wanted to drink, and the meals were delicious. The ports were small and cozy feeling. Swimming off the boat was spectacular, the water was so clear and brilliant. The other passengers were equally delightful and interesting. We couldn't be more pleased.
- Joanne, 26/06/2025 13:32, Travelled in a Couple
The entire crew for our Sail Croatia trip had endless energy and created more than a trip-they built a Sail Croatia Family. The bike rides were tailored to the group. The swim stops along the way were amazing! The entire crew had fun personalities and went out of their way to make sure everyone's needs were met. The meals were magnificent. Best trip ever!
- Kim, 24/06/2025 18:24, Travelled in a Couple
We heard from two unrelated friends about Sail Croatia and it definitely met my expectations. Our guides, Miranda and Martin were amazing. They were organized, kind, and great communicators. The food was amazing and the cycling spectacular. We made new friends and had plenty of time to relax, swim in the perfectly clear Adriatic Sea, play games, tour the cities, and create amazing memories. I want to do it again as soon as possible.
- Rob, 24/06/2025 17:35, Travelled in a Couple
This trip was absolutely outstanding and I would recommend this to everybody. . The team from Sail Croatia our guides (Ivica & Mario) did an outstanding job looking after the 29 people on the boat & riding. Everyone one on this trip got on really well. The boat Emanuel whilst built in the mid 50's was in outstanding condition and their crew looked after the boat like it was brand new. The riding pace was generally easy with an e/bike and we covered more km's than advertised which was great.. Ivica & Mario stoped and gave great information several times during each ride. Would love to do another Sail Croatia bike trip.

We did the northern trip last year and enjoyed it so much we decided to come back this year. We were not disappointed. We loved the cycling and all the swim stops. We were part of a very nice group. Given information and history about places. The boat was looked after beautifully. All the crew were friendly and helpful. All in all a wonderful experience.
- Janet, 23/06/2025 05:57, Travelled in a Couple
The tour managers (Ivan and Lucija) were fun and knew the right balance of professionalism and attentiveness. The bar manager/ waiter (Andre) was ever present and thoughtful. The crew were flexible to the requests of the Group e.g. additional stops for swimming off the back of the boat.

Ivan and Lucija, our tour guides, and Adrian, our salon manager, made our sailing trip one of the most memorable and magical experiences we’ve had. Their knowledge of the history, island life and customer service were high level. We always felt taken care of wherever we were. They always ensured we were given the best experiences possible. We appreciated Ivan’s extra local experiences to the caves, wine tasting, submarine tunnels. Lucija’s history knowledge and help with dining options were great. Adrian always took care of us in the salon. The three made a great team. The rest of the crew were also excellent; courteous and helpful in every way.
- Olwyn , 21/06/2025 06:20, Travelled in a Couple

We just finished a wonderful week of sailing & cycling onboard the Afrodita. The crew were amazing and made our holiday extra special. The ship was lovely and cabins were as expected on a sailing ship — on the cozy side. Our tour/cycling guides, Ivan and Lucija made our trip exceptional. They were extremely thoughtful to ensure we all had a wonderful experience no matter our cycling level. Their morning briefings, their attention to each guest while cycling & their genuine desire to share Croatia with us made everyday outstanding! They were the stars of our trip!! Thank you, Ivan and Lucy!!

Cycling cruise was beyond our expectations! Our guides, lucija and Ivan, were awesome! So knowledgeable and friendly. They geared our rides to what the guests wanted and shared experiences with us that we didn’t expect. They made the trip great! The food was very good. I would recommend this trip to friends! We had such a good time and can’t wait to go back. My husband is telling everyone to take this trip!

We had an amazing time on the Mali Ante. The crew looked after us well. Great food great people. Loved our guides Miranda and Tonka.. Enjoyed the ‘story time’’ and the humour on our rides as well as the organization and shuffling of schedules along the way. It’s made our experience memorable without having the stress of organizing things for ourselves. We were recommended this trip from others from Canada., and we are thankful for everything. We made many friends and hope to see you all in the future. Mark and Donna from Canada.

We had the most amazing time on the June 2, 2025 Split to Dubrovnik sailing adventure. Our guides Lucije and Andre were perfect. Not only were they professional, always stressing safety, but their knowledge and infectious personalities made for a perfect time. I can honestly say that the group of 32 passengers will never have as great an experience as what we had. The ship’s crew were amazing as well. Sailors, chef, manager, captain, and bar manager were all exemplary. Thank you all for giving us such an unforgettable time.

Beautiful cycling trip through the Adriatic Sea and Croatian coast and islands, including refreshing swims. Cycling was challenging but good fun. Our guides Miranda and Tonka were fantastic and looked after us very well. They had a great sense of humour and we enjoyed the ‘stories’ on each ride. We were well fed on the Mali Ante and enjoyed great hospitality from the crew. We were a group of 14 and all got on so well and had lots of laughs.

We had the most amazing time. The boat crew were amazing and friendly and very tentative. Halim our waiter did an exceptional job. Our guides Marin and Andro were amazing. Marin and Andro made sure we were safe at all times. Thier attention to our safety was imperative. Marin is so knowledgeable about his country and we learned so much about the history of Croatia and all the islands we visited. He was an excellent guide and we would request him if we do this tour again! The best and most memorable trip we have ever been on. The only critique I have is 2 pillows for the bed would have been nice and more or better wine selections. Thank you Sail Croatia!!

We loved our week away with sail Croatia . It was all we were expecting plus more . The bike riding was amazing with a beautiful itinerary . We took normal bikes and it was quite challenging , If you are going in the warmer months strongly consider a ebike as the hills are hard in the heat . We loved anchoring in quiet blue coves and swimming . The crew and guides were fantastic . Thank you esp to Josip and Tashi our fabulous tour guides . We also loved meeting and traveling with like minded people from all over the world - we really had a lot of fun together . The cabins and ship was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed .

I enjoyed the swim stops. My room was nice, although the last full day the tanks definitely needed to be changed, as I had a room below. It would have been nice to have the names on the back of the bikes. Most people came in groups, We did not come in a group, so, we had to keep asking people their names. The Josic was very professional. I was not sure what Calam's responsibilities. The bar was very expensive for the extremely short wine pour. It was discussed by most passengers on the boat. Lunch was heavy. Maybe better to have dinner? This would allow people to relax a bit after the ride. The last two rides were short. Often I was not quite sure where we were going to stop. It did not follow the brochure. Captain said we needed to stop in different places.

We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.
