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.

Sail Croatia was a wonderful fun experience and we will definitely be returning. We met great people and will be having a reunion with our new friends in a couple of years time. Our experience was greatly enhanced by our wonderful Cruise Manager Anita who is a delight to be around. 5 Stars from us and Thank you!

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

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.

We had a lovely time sailing the Islands of Croatia. Our biking guide Andre was Croatian and he had a wealth of knowledge about each destination and did a great job keeping us safe and giving us freedom to enjoy the area. Our sail Croatia coordinator Callum was amazing as well. He was very professional and fun and also very knowledgeable about Croatia. The ship staff were fabulous. They were very friendly, professional and helpful. Breakfast was a good variety and lunches were always 3 courses and lots of food. Snack were offered in the dining room every day also. Dinners were off the ship at a local restaurant except 2 dinners on the ship. The captain’s dinner and a Bar-b-que. . Both delightful. The only complaint is that the morning coffee was terrible (If you wanted a good coffee you had to buy it), the only portable water was locked up every day at 10pm in the dining room until 7am, and the bedding and towels were only changed once. We showered a lot because of sweating and biking

Our 1st trip to Croatia was a rich visit into the regions history and wonderful food. Divers are rewarded the magically clear water and many wrecks (check the depths!). Our yacht was clean, well laid out and comfortable. We’ve chartered numerous yachts and this was my favorite. This charter also included a skipper and hostess. Dora was phenomenal, well organized, engaging and a great cook (quality & variety). The skipper was friendly, professional and impressively skilled boatsman. We expected a charter where we would actually sail - we motored except for a couple hours. We docked on all but 1 night and had no opportunity for the family to momentarily take the helm. My impression is that the captain wanted to go in the straightest line possible (no sailing), dock (no mooring or dinghy needed) and go as fast as possible (no family experience to slow him down, increased fuel use and diesel fumes). Marina fees, bkfst/lunch for 9 and dinner for the 2 crew amounted to 5000 euros.

We had a lovely time on the Blackbird with our family. Thanks to our sailing experience we were able to see so much more of the country than we expected to. We would have liked to have had more time in different stops and a captain who was more flexible with our preferences. Also, a more mature captain is definitely a request we now know to make in the future. However, for our first time, this was incredible!

Our Captain was great and provided excellent guidance throughout as we had no set idea of our tour. 10/10 for Captain. The boat itself was a bit worn/aging. The fridge wasnt working properly and constantly dripped stale water over all the food, which is def not hygenic, and the freezer compartment didnt work. Water pooled in the bottom shelf of the fridge with weird scum on it. The provided linens all had some kind of stain on them. Overall things on board were a bit shabby, wouldve expected higher quality (things like good linens are such a small $ to maintain) but we didnt let that spoil the beautiful clear waters to swim in and the enjoyable journey!

An amazing week spent on Princess Diana yacht. Visited many beautiful islands and met some great people on board. Fantastic crew and guide, lovely food, cleanliness extremely good, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Would like to mention Sonya who was over and above expectations, especially when I was a little unwell when we first boarded. Definitely a holiday that will stay with me forever. Great big thank you to all staff on board. wonderful experience. will recommend this to family and friends.

Our week sailing on Spellbound with Ana and Daniel was a wonderful family holiday. They made us feel welcome and at home and showed us some beautiful islands, coves and ports. Daniel did a great job accommodating everyone’s tastes with great breakfasts and lunches and took us to some lovely restaurants for dinner. Our only disappointment was that the only day that it was suitable for sailing, the rigging was faulty and the main sail couldn’t be raised.

- Marion, 29/07/2026 09:04, Travelled with Family

Our captain and hostess were phenomenal. They were very interactive with my 2 grandsons. Our captain was very knowledgeable and was helpful in recommending where to go and activities available. Our hostess was very personable and a great cook. My only suggestion to make this a better trip would be to connect with our crew ahead of time especially the hostess so we buy the proper supplies for her to do her job. The box I ordered was not able to be customized which led to items we were not going to use. She did a very good job working with what she had. Also, it would have been helpful to know that cash is very necessary for all the stops since many places did not accept credit cards. I would definitely book a trip with Sail Croatia again.

Perfect relaxing holidays. Thanks to Mario, our skipper, who made this cruise unforgettable.

Positives- The food and dining service were excellent throughout the trip. The information shared about the islands, local attractions, and recommended activities was very helpful and enhanced our experience. Hanna was exceptionally attentive, friendly, and always willing to help with restaurant reservations and excursion bookings. Her assistance was greatly appreciated. Overall, we were very satisfied with our cruise experience and had a wonderful time. Areas for Improvement- We noticed that some staff members were smoking in or near common guest areas. Relocating smoking to designated staff-only areas would help create a more comfortable environment for guests, especially those who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. One bartender, Cesar, came across as less welcoming than the rest of the crew during our interactions. A more friendly and approachable demeanor would further enhance the overall guest experience.

We hired the boat Morpheus for our family of 5 ( three adult children) Andreas our skipper was fantastic and an enthusiastic sailer. he planned a great week for us. With a mix of remote swimming spots and idyllic towns. The boat was perfect and the kitchen well equipped with everything thing to to cook lunch each day on board. One of the great things about the trip was you are in a different place each day but you dont have to pack your bags each day like when you stay in a hotel. We would all love to do this trip again.

Croatia is beautiful, I loved all the islands, Stari Grad and Mljet National Park were highlights. Tempera is due for a refurb next year, it's fine, but it does need some attention. The crew were great. As a pescatarian I was catered for, but hot breakfast items were all in the same serving dish - eggs tasted of sausages - I can cope with that, but many wouldn't. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable.

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!

This was are second Sail Croatia cruise. The first was fantastic. Out second was on the Contessa, and it is a new boat. As with some new things, such as homes, boats, there is a pick up list of things that need improvement. In our case there were three issues. The AC was not working well and basically managed the room to 30 degrees Celsius, the boats internet was very limited, only working in the dining area, and that was food quality and taste was average. One of the driving forces besides the beauty of Croatia of our return was exceptional food quality, preparation and value in our first cruise. The chefs were amazing, tantalizing us with great appetizers, main courses and deserts. Although an effort was made it was not near the level of our first cruise. I imagine Sail Croatia will rectify these start up issues but want to present the facts as they were for us to future customers.

- Brad, 26/06/2026 10:00, Travelled with Family

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.

No what we expected but the country is beautiful many disappointments on the cruise

- David, 22/06/2026 22:19, Travelled with Family

I was somewhat disappointed and felt the overall experience to be a little lacking. While the air conditioning failed in some cabins and the crew did what they could to fix it was understandable, one guest complained and the Captain felt it necessary to berate all guests on board at dining. The excursions were less than what was advertised. The swim time was extremely long and cut into time that could have been spent on shore. We scheduled a pick up through our ship from our hotel to the ship for departure and then were not allowed on the ship for 2 hours in an area with no shelter, shopping or bathrooms. The coordinator of excursions missed the mark on helping acquire e-bikes along with knowledge of restaurants and distances to attractions. There were not enough deck chairs for the number of guests. The jacuzzi was filled only twice. Coffee was only available during breakfast hour or had to pay for it. Overall, the experience was not what we had hoped for or planned.

- Denise, 22/06/2026 22:07, Travelled with Family

The trip was fantastic- we had 2 really great guides Ivan and Lujcia- the group on the boat got on well. Such beautiful coastline - cycling on the islands was a fabulous way to see them. Would recommend this trip

Lovely boat and crew. Chef amazing. However did not enjoy being constantly exposed to cigarette smoke on only lower deck, especially when deck was enclosed.

- Dawn, 19/06/2026 00:49, Travelled with Family

This was a fabulous holiday! There are just three reasons I couldn't give it a perfect 5. 1. "Water toys"-having only 4 "floaties" when you have 36 people on board is not enough. On vacation, no one wants to jump is the sea and tread water for the duration of the swim stop. 2. The new Contessa is lovely. However, on the top deck there was not nearly enough loungers or chairs. People were having to share or go below deck. There was plenty of space for more. 3. It is a bummer that you advertise excursions to Explorer travelers but they actually do not happen or are not reccomended. We were excited on day 1 to go river rafting but once on board heard that that actually wasn't an excursion. Same with canoeing-said you "could" go, but that it was a very bad experience. Better tour operators or excursions need to be sourced. Lola was super and responsive. Martin and Neno amazing employees! Chef Bane and Marko fab. Charlie and Tino fun on deck, and maids were wonderful.

Very good. There should be a happy hour daily with drinks included and wine and beer included at dinner similar to River Curses.

- Anonymous, 16/06/2026 06:32, Travelled with Family

First off I want to say that the cycling was fantastic. Having said that, our trip was rated a 2.5/5 which is true but that rating is the average of the intensity of the rides. So some days were 1/5 and some were 4/5. We had an issue in our bathroom that was not resolved until the 4th day. The food was mediocre at best. Very little fruit, everything was cold, croissants that weren't baked through, single ingredient salads, only instant coffee unless you were willing to pay extra, Drinks were expensive, you couldn't get single glasses of wine. Our guide was knowledgeable but he spoke so quickly it was difficult to follow what he was saying. Both he and the other guide were friendly and helpful. I found my bike to be comfortable but there were a number of issues with the bikes in general. Croatia is beautiful and I would recommend exploring it by bike but not with SailCroatia.

- Anonymous, 10/06/2026 16:26, Travelled with Family

Our cruise with Sail Croatia was lovely. The biking was a bit more challenging & athletic than anticipated, so we were happy to have e-bikes. But our tour guides Marin & Natasha were knowledgeable & skilled so we always felt safe. Daily rides lasted 3-6 hours, the latter with added excursions. Some on quiet remote roads, but a few on rather busy thruways. I'd suggest offering a more leisurely bike option with site-seeing stops (we did coffee & beach stops but they were very brief) The boat itself was basic but comfortable (premier class). Our room was adequate & clean, with a large bathroom, plenty of hot water & AC. However there were some lacking amenities such as a comfortable lounge area away from the wind when at sail, with seating enough for everyone on board. We were also expecting sun loungers on the top deck, but there were just a few plastic chairs. Lastly the buffet breakfasts were wonderful, but not the plated lunches. I'd suggest offering buffet instead.

- Anonymous, 10/06/2026 14:55, Travelled with Family

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.

The trip from Dubrovnik to Split was awesome. I have been in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years and I would like to offer some suggestions: -towels need to be dried some way, we had to use them wet. -shower floor is very slippery, you might want to do something. -regular coffee and bread can be better at breakfast. Sweet bread was fine. -Lunch can be better as well. Dessert when made by the lady cook was awesome. she is really good. All the crew offered a fantastic and warm service at all times.. congratulations for that. Ally and Linda worked non stop and the boys as well. Captain was a lot of fun and so friendly and easy going. He did a very good job. Having the boat from Blue Cave take us directly to the ship was a great idea. thank you. Jacuzzi was a little small for a big crowd and we had to take turns. -Dinning room was very noisy during meals. Too many people in a small area. I wish we could extend and eat outside. Thank you and congratulations

- Anonymous, 26/05/2026 23:29, Travelled with Family

It was good, but they have things to improve, like the air conditioning not working, the cancellation of multiple activities due to the weather, the captain's absence due to "illness" (though he seemed perfectly fine the other days), and having a bartender drunk almost 50% of the time. But the accommodations were very good, the food was very good, and the main day was excellent.

The cycling itself was great! The island cycling routes are challenging (in a good way) with so many epic views. The ship and (some) crew, however, fell short of expectations. The Dionis boat was old and a bad experience from the start, especially compared to the other boats for the same price (which you walk through & see what you are missing out on). I feel ripped off. Even sail Croatia staff commented on Dionis being the worst! A leaking roof in my cabin, leaking shower, significant slant in my room so my head was lower than my feet in bed, uncomfortable common areas compared to other boats. Very basic, not like in the pictures on the website. Some crew members were not very engaging…seemed like they didn’t want to be there. No help offered with carrying luggage across multiple ships on arrival. Had to ask multiple times for things like a room key for example, or to have the chirping smoked detector fixed. The single supplement fee is outrageous. the food is plentiful but just ok.

Great time away, food was not to my liking and very bland especially the soups. Mash potato was like slop on plate meat stew very tough. Coffee not nice all agreed bought my own and it went missing. Toilet paper should be filled properly at all times as only little was put in and we kept running out along with others. No ware to sit when weather was so bad as only 4 seats by bar all tables were played straight after breakfast. Breakfast: nothing left one morning at 7.45 when breakfast should have been until 8.30. Plates taken when we were still eating at breakfast meats and cheese removed so fast not time to eat, most days they had breakfast cleared down before 8.15 making many of us feeling rushed and not able to eat what we wanted for our breakfast. The crew were very nice . Would have liked the bikes we paid for to have been available when we were not on ride so we could explore. Felt the whole week centred around them not us.

Dino, our tour manager was lovely and very responsive to our questions and requests. He often responded within a minute and was already taking action on our request. He was very knowledgeable about each location and gave us a daily briefing. The ship was beautiful and the staff friendly. Due to rough seas the itinerary had to be changed and we did not visit Vis, but instead went to Omiš, which was a lovely town with stunning landscapes and some exciting excursion options! They handled the itinerary changes gracefully and seamlessly. I've deducted one star as there were a few quirks along the way that could have made the stay more pleasant: The ship has AC, but only when the AC is turned on as a whole, so for the first couple nights and the last night our room was a nearly unbearable 77-80°F at night, there were a couple days where housekeeping came into the room, but the room was only partially done, like 1 out of 3 beds done. All in all it was an enjoyable experience though!

- Lori, 14/10/2025 13:03, Travelled with Family

Traveling with Sail Croatia was an experience that was more than " just a cruise" where you are one of hundreds or thousands on a massive ship. It wasn't perfect, but I look back on the friendships we made, the cozy feel of the ship and I'm left with special memories of our time on the Adriatic. When we arrived in Split and were faced with two massive cruise ships at port, I was so thankful for the choice we made. Dino, our cruise director, was a very relatable, friendly guy who responded quickly with our questions. The crew were all very nice! I rated it 4/5 mainly because of a few issues such as ventilation in the cabin that made it uncomfortable for a few days. Otherwise, it would be 5/5!

Number one, the staff was excellent! From the time we entered onto the ship to the time we got off they were always there when we needed them. If someone also had food issues, they were also accommodating to the persons needs. The director, Ivan, also personalized, and went above and beyond some of the things to help us and make our experience very memorable! The staff also in charge of swimming, cooking, serving, cleaning, bartending were all very friendly. Second, the ship was in great condition and kept clean. Third, the two tours that were included were great with Ivan. Fourth, the Captain’s dinner was great and the band was excellent! And, the people that were on the ship with us ended up to be the best and we all had so much fun together! A feeling of family! Ivan, the director was superb!! Captain Ivan was also superb!

Great staff. Bike routes well laid out and planned with interesting stops for swimming and cafes to get a delicious cup of coffee. Bikes were well maintained and very easy to ride. Any problems that did arise were handled quickly. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of food to choose from. Coffee not so good, needs improvement. Could purchase cappuccino on board which was good. Lunch definitely needs improvement. Most times it was cold. Soup was watery. Desserts were delicious. No on board safety protocols. We didn’t realize until third day into trip that life vests were under our bed. I would definitely recommend this trip.

We specifically picked this boat for the hot tub which never worked for the entire trip. Very disappointed by this. We expected more regional dishes for lunch ie more seafood. Most meals were red meat based. The cabin bathrooms were far from clean. The floor under the sink was filthy and shower grout was in need of a cleaning. Really can’t say enough about the staff, super friendly and helpful and the itinerary was fantastic. All the stops were beautiful.

Forgive my spelling of names but Jospina and Skipper Ante where the best. Every meal was perfect and they were attentive to all our needs, especially some of our party that were less sure footed getting on and off board. Bottom line only complaint was who sends a charter out with only 1 towel per guest for a week( this was not the crews fault) . Had a great time overall and our Crew were very knowledgeable of all the ports which made getting to and from any adventures/tours we went on super easy and added to our fun!!!!

We had a great trip in June 2025. We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik on the boat Tempera (an older vessel, built in 2014). Our cabin was on the lower deck. We did have a few issues with our cabin. When we checked in, one of the beds was not made up. This was not a major issue, as we made it up ourselves. Additionally, the toilet in our cabin was running, so we alerted the crew, who advised us to flush the toilet in a specific manner. This helped, but it did not solve the problem, as the toilet still ran intermittently. The TV in our room did not work. Upon speaking to other guests, this was a common issue. The main issue was that the cabin smelled like sewage one evening. We spoke to the crew, who mentioned that a tank needed to be emptied. They emptied the tank, but again, if they could have emptied the tank in advance to prevent this from occurring, it would have improved our experience. The crew was friendly, fun, and helpful. The itinerary was great, and we loved the swim stops.

The trip was great for my restricted mobility. The railings on all walkways and stairwells made walking around the ship possible. The crew were always available to offer a helping hand or arm. One of the sailors - Mario - was exceptionally thoughtful. He carried my mobility scooter on and off the boat, storing and charging it overnight. He was sensitive to my fears, crossing from boat to boat, offering encouragement and praise, as well as physical help. Wonderful intuitive personal skills!

Thoroughly enjoyed cruising the Croatian islands on our Dubrovnik to Split and return to Dubrovnik tour. Each port we stopped at represented a lesson in history. Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour in Split and Dubrovnik with the local guides as well as the fabulous dinner with wine in Stari Grad at a local farm restaurant. Our morning swimming stops were a pleasure and the food served on the boat was divine. But there were negatives: 1. Our lower level cabins were adjacent to the engine room therefore when the boat left port early in the morning, no further sleep or talking could be had. These cabins were priced the same as the forward lower level cabins which seems unfair. 2. No itemised bar bills were provided so you had to assume that what you were billed for, you actually drank. 3. The boats internet was rubbish. 4. When rafted up at port with other boats, crossing over was difficult at times due to the height of each boat I.e. need individual ramps and not step up or down.

- Rosalie, 05/09/2024 14:17, Travelled with Family

We had a nice trip on kingfisher. Our captain and hostess were nice and helpful on making our trip enjoyable. Thank you for a fun trip. A few recommendations yo improve the experience: 1. Please tell the guests to bring more cash for mooring fees and dinners. 2. It would be nice to spend the last night on an island vs split. You can just move check out to 10 am and that would really be a nice way to end the trip. 3. The 42 Lagoon catamaran only has 3 cabins if you use a skipper so that is an important description item as the skipper takes one of the cabins. When they sold us the catamaran they sold it to us as if it could sleep 8 people which is incorrect. It can only sleep 6 guests with a skipper.

Great way to see the islands and party through Croatia. Katarina our guide was so lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was nothing special but our guide and the experiences they provided made up for it,

- Camille, 09/08/2024 17:08, Travelled with Family

We had a lovely time on board the Morpheus from 15th of July till 22nd. The holiday started a bit unfortunate due to a delay of our flight and as a consequence our luggage arrived a day later than expected. Our skipper Marco suggested an alternative route which made we could easily collect our luggage the following day from Trogir. We had a lovely trip, enjoyed the islands, Marco suggested a nice itinerary which suited our family needs. He was discrete when we wanted it and available when we needed it. Overall, a wonderful experience, definitely also thanks to Marco's professional attitude. We will definitely do this again. Best regards, Koen, Veerle, Lucas, Ella and Tess

- Veerle, 28/07/2024 14:50, Travelled with Family

The trip was terrific! The guests on board were great and the crew was fantastic. We had so much fun in all the ports except Vela Luca was a terrible port. The wine tasting was mediocre and expensive and the restaurant options and night life there were terrible. Also, the village meal in Korcula was terrible. The town of Korcula was fun with many great restaurants, including a Michelin star restaurant. I would have MUCH preferred to be on my own that night. Lastly, when pulling into Dubrovnik, it would have been nice if the boat passed by the old city before heading to the port.

Pero and Branco were great - helpful, friendly, hard-working. We would love to sail with them again! We booked a twin (for our daughters) and a double room (for myself and my husband), but we were given 2 twin rooms, which was not ideal. We booked our trip well in advance and confirmed at the time of booking that we were reserving a twin and a double. The meals were great - however, I would love to see an option of a lighter lunch - maybe some good salads and a protein option, versus the heavy lunch meals. Anna’s lack of experience showed and it would have been nice to have someone who knew the history a bit better. Additionally, she would only give her daily update at the end of lunch, after dessert. If you skipped dessert, you missed the recap. It would be better for her to give the update at the beginning of lunch, as everyone was sitting down and waiting for the food. This way, people could discuss the excursions during lunch. Also, her directions & information were not great.

Our guides were so kind,helpful and great knowledge of the islands.

- Dorothy , 27/05/2024 05:13, Travelled with Family

seeing all the beautiful sights of Croatia was amazing and the ebike made it all possible. I would have loved a little book/hand out of our bike paths and information about the culture in each area-It's not easy to remember everything the guides tell us. The room did smell a bit which was unpleasant and I wish we could've opened the windows. I wish we had more leisure time to explore the little towns. I loved the free coffee drinks on board and the staff was great. Loved having this experience staying on a beautiful boat- thank you!

We loved the boat and the travel guides on our trip to Croatia. Our itinerary was well planned, and our cycling guides were experienced and have been doing this for many years. The kitchen catered to our dietary requirements, vegetarian and vegan. Thankyou Sam Croatia team

Great Crew and hostess Mia were outstanding. Minor problems: AC went out last few days though. Need a stronger band width for Wifi. Very spotty reception. All in all a good cruise was had by my wife and I and the couple we came with.

- Dale, 17/10/2023 06:03, Travelled with Family

I should have ridden on an e-bike instead, even though I ride a bike regularly I was not prepared for the challenge of riding the climbs. The guides were extremely supportive and patient with me on this trip. The islands were great to explore on a bike ride, as the scenery was amazing and varied from day to day.

- Anonymous, 04/09/2023 05:51, Travelled with Family

Our Tour Manager Ivana was so knowledgeable and friendly, she showed us great places to visit and joined the group for dancing and singing on the boat too.... Ivana took us on some great tours. Our waiter Eril on the Princes Diana cruise was very attentive, friendly and smiled even if was up early and to bed late...he couldn't do enough for you. The size of our room was surprisingly larger than I expected and could take the large suitcases under our bed...We had a room on main deck area which all the other boats had to pass to get from one ship to another when docked, but we never heard anyone pass our door late at night so that was a bonus... a wee tip, I felt our room was a bit damp with the air conditioning and door closed, however my brother kept his door open when we were sailing as money locked in safe and trusted our crew and travellers on board and the breeze would flow through which was refreshing.

- Bridie, 01/09/2023 15:57, Travelled with Family

Wonderful way of exploring the Croatian islands. The boat was clean and comfortable, the AC was a must during our vacation time as it was in a mist of a heat wave. The entire equipage from the captain to the chef was great, and especially our tour director Ivana. Ivana you made everything better, you lift any worries that appeared , and you made everyone’s day, Thank you. The only suggestion I have to improve this beautiful sailing experience is to have a better coffee, the coffee on any place we stopped on the islands was real good coffee but the one on the boat. Bravo to Sail Croatia, we had an amazing Vacation!

Our family had a wonderful week aboard Sizzle sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. Our skipper, Ana, was friendly and knowledgeable of the area and a pleasure to spend time with. The boat is new and comfortable with well appointed kitchen area. Very nice way to travel this beautiful country!

Great boat and great skipper. The air con did not always work as electricity variable. I would want one with a generator if I came back.

- Bruce , 25/07/2023 05:14, Travelled with Family

We had a great time cycling the Dalmatian Islands with the Mali Ante crew. Our guides Mila and Miranda provided great historical information about the towns and were very fun to ride with. The onboard crew was wonderful as well, taking care of our rooms and providing great food. We even got them to dance with us on the night of Captain's dinner. The only recommendation I have is to consider an eBike. I'm a cyclist at home, but was happy to have an eBike to get over those beautiful (but steep!) hills.

- Julie, 07/07/2023 18:36, Travelled with Family

A great bunch of people to travel with A great tour guide (Mila) was exceptional The crew were good especially Maryan Good food thanks to the chef One complaint is the fact that there was a spare room and a very shy young lady asked if she could have her own room instead of boarding with a complete stranger. I was discussed to hear that your company charged her an extra $600 euro in cash on top of what she had already paid that was cruel Steve Whitmore

- Stephen , 14/06/2023 11:41, Travelled with Family

A small group of 30 people made our experience intimate and extremely enjoyable. We had an amazing experience with the other travellers and loved the knowledge and company of our tour guide Mila. Our bartender Maryan was also a stand out, so friendly and great service. The only recommendations I would have to further enhance the trip would be more regular changing of towels and sheets and more engagement from the other ship members (captain and sailors).

- Emma, 14/06/2023 11:34, Travelled with Family

Our hostess, Lucea, was the best! She prepared the most delicious baked goods in the morning and snacks a few late afternoons and surprised us with cocktails once in the afternoon. Ivan, our captain, was very helpful in organizing island activities. We appreciated the flexibility to go to the islands where we wanted to visit.

- Bobbye Lou, 08/06/2023 14:02, Travelled with Family

The guides and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The bikes were comfortable and ran smoothly.The only complaint was the lunch which at times the protein was over cooked.

- Barbara, 25/05/2023 09:26, Travelled with Family

This was my 3rd trip with sail Croatia. Split-Dubrovnik. It did not disappoint Travelled with family & friend. After some minor issue at booking with cabin allocation. Swiftly sorted. Despite the bad weather for early part of the week we had a great time. The itinary was changed slightly due to weather conditions & guest safety. Marin & Ivan did their very best to ensure alternative sight seeing trips were available to accommodate this. The cycling was challenging enough for those on hybrid bikes. Captain & crew really friendly. Boat was clean. Food plentiful. If there was anything I would change.. please maybe longer circular cycling routes rather than there & back.. we were a larger group of 30 but safety was second to none. A massive thank you to Marin & Ivan for their friendliness, and showing us some stunning places. And providing us with great laughs. WE made some lovely friends and great memories. Would highly recommend sail Croatia 🙂

- Anonymous, 22/05/2023 20:38, Travelled with Family

The boat, the food and the crew are excellent. The route could be shorter. We spend many days doing nothing in the mornings, we could do more than one island per day.

- Kharina, 15/05/2023 11:02, Travelled with Family

The passenger coordinator, Ioana, was amazing - great communication regarding what was ahead and very responsive to any passenger needs. There was food aplenty; we joked about getting three dinners every day. Best of all were the stops - every island is rich in history and allowed for easy access to the key sites. I wish we had more time at each stop so maybe next time I'll book a longer cruise.

- Anonymous, 11/05/2023 16:04, Travelled with Family

Fantastic cruise with great people who made the experience even better. Dino worked hard to make sure the cruise itinerary was best for the weather which ensured we had the best opportunities to see and do as much as possible.

- Grant, 07/05/2023 21:25, Travelled with Family

Very nice boat with good cabins. For the most part, the organization was good however in the last 2 days they sent us back to our final port because they were worried about the weather however they got the weather completely wrong (which id fine), but they made u stay at port for 2 extra days and instead of going out for a swim stop or out of the port they just left us for 2 days in the same port. We were all not happy about that, pity as the rest of it was incredible!

- Anonymous, 04/10/2022 06:33, Travelled with Family

Great cruise, fantastic host in Stjepan, a bit disappointed that we had to spend 2 days in Dubrovnik. A little irritated that you would not accept Credit cards on board. In Croatia ALL ATMs are a rip off and as you accpet payment for the cruise on a credit card, why not onboard? No doubt you dont want the charges to your account but the inconvenience and extra cost we had to bear spoiled a little what was otherwise a great trip

- DAVID, 03/10/2022 08:08, Travelled with Family

The best part of the trip was the company of others who attended the same week, but everything else about the trip that was handled by Sail Croatia was pitiful. Horrible food, poor planning, disgusting cabins, and more than evident cost-cutting. The wifi was nonexistent and no soap, shampoo, or conditioner was provided. The bath towels provided were dirty and disgusting. I signed for a triple occupancy cabin and it ended up being a mattress on the floor. That is unacceptable. The other participants bonded on the boat over Sail Croatia's failings as a cruise liner. If I knew the lack of amenities provided and the poor organizing, I would not attend.

- Kalee, 01/10/2022 18:52, Travelled with Family

We enjoyed great group of people and nice weather condition. Room service was great, our room was made during our breakfast, very efficient. Swim stops were private and well chosen. Good food, the chef was creative. The National Park tour in Mljet was great. We enjoyed cycling around the Lake. The view was fantastic.

- Sima, 27/09/2022 08:20, Travelled with Family

The staff were wonderful and Stephanie took great care of keeping us informed and organized for port calls. The food was great with the minor exception of too much olive oil use for me on some dishes. The tuna steak was perfect! I would suggest shorter swim times to allow earlier port stops. Some excursions were not enough time to do them well. Some activities for poor weather days would be nice also.

- Dean, 19/09/2022 10:41, Travelled with Family

26 friends and family sailed on the Emanuel from Split to Dubrovnik. Nina from Sail Croatia was a great guide the food on the Emanuel was delicious and each port was somehow nicer than the last. I only wish was spending more time on the bikes exploring the islands. The schedule keep us fairly tied to the A To B trip with little time for side trips. Also, much of the biking day was spent waiting for slower riders which would have made my trip even better…..

- John, 19/09/2022 08:57, Travelled with Family

Explorer cruise on the Almissa in June. We had beautiful weather every day & enjoyed the daily swim stops. The other guests were GREAT & made the week enjoyable for us. Ivan, our guide, was informative & shared his love for his country & its history. The boat was quiet & smooth sailing. The Captain was skilled bringing the boat in to dock. The crew was mostly good with Mario, Ivan & the junior deck hand being hard working & friendly. The food was average. Starters were excellent but the mains were hit or miss. Fish was prepared well but other proteins were dry & bland. Lasagna was the best meal. Fruit was old by end of week. Be aware: there is only 1 choice for lunch so if you don't want to eat octopus or squid ink pasta, be specific on your eating preferences as extra portions/options aren't available unless specified ahead of time. Food is only available at meal times & no snacks available to buy. Asst chef wasn't friendly & made some feel uncomfortable. Good Trip overall.

- JT, 20/07/2022 18:09, Travelled with Family

Great trek leaders - great boat (Afrodita) - great crew - great guests! We were hoping there would be other families with older teens to be with, but there were no age barriers here: the other guests welcomed our kids and they responded with maturity! The cycling was challenging without e-bikes in the extreme heat but everyone was accommodating and encouraging. We swam off the boat a couple of times and found beaches every day which was brilliant. The ship was great- but shade on the sun deck would have made it more useful, as it was too hot to go up there at all. I was surprised that there was no cleaning of bathrooms all week, and no change of towels offered, but the food was abundant and amazing. A drink with main meals (even water!) would have been appreciated. Overall, a wonderful week.

- Rebecca, 19/07/2022 09:18, Travelled with Family

1. The transfer car from the airport at Split dropped us off by the harbour, a long way from our hotel (which we had to locate ourselves). We could have been driven closer or shown where we could hire a 'golf car' to take us to our hotel. 2. On the boat the air conditioning unit drew air from the rear deck where the crew smoked. This made the atmosphere in our cabin very unpleasant. 3. Please supply black-tea (eg. English or Irish Breakfast Tea) on board. It would be much appreciated by British / Australian / New Zealand guests. Other than this we enjoyed the cruise.

The boat Cristal was a new Sail Croatia boat and was very comfortable with lots of space to unwind. A sun lounger for every guest and a hot tub which was cold but we needed that !! Our group of travellers were great fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Had a wonderful time aboard the Esperanza sailing Dub to Split. All crew members were friendly and helpful . The fact that o Kt small ships could access these Bays and Ports was a super experience and we all had a superb time . Thanks Boris, Tomo , Carlos and the rest of the crew .

- Willie, 13/08/2019 11:19, Travelled with Family

Ana the onboard rep took the worry out of every decision (places to go, dining, problems, transfers etc), and was absolutely outstanding. Her dedication was exemplary. Amongst the guests, a community spirit developed & we all had a ball, whatever the event. Boat was kept spotlessly clean throughout. Lunches were nicely presented and although a little simple, they were always imaginative and enjoyable. While relaxing, felt you were on your own boat! Breakfasts were lacking and as they were buffet style, if you were not first in you often missed out! Cabin had all amenities but the wardrobe was very small & problematic. Hooks on walls needed. Bed & linens comfy but needed extra pillows. The swim stops would have benefited by having some “toys” and canoes would have been welcome. Main disappointment was I specifically asked not to be allocated the noisy cabin (upper deck!) next to the engine as it was wife's special birthday — and that’s where we were put! All in all - a fantastic time!

- Bull, 13/08/2019 10:10, Travelled with Family

The crew was not the friendliest or nicest to majority of passengers on the boat. The amount of tips they expect at the end is ridiculous. If they want tips they should provide better service. They need a better variety of food. You aren’t allowed to bring snacks on and they don’t have any on board. The actual sail was the best week of my life. You go to some amazing places and meet some of the best people. I would do it again but i know what to expect next time.

- Anonymous, 12/08/2019 16:26, Travelled with Family

Undoubtly, the better way to visit islands and seaside of Croatia. BRAC - The stop at Milna is pointless.... better should we dock in Bol, just like other boats.

- Anonymous, 09/08/2019 20:44, Travelled with Family

Ana was wonderful and created a fantastic experience. The other staff members could have been a little friendlier but they were also great. We would have loved at least one full length mirror on the boat. The food was fantastic but breakfast was too early. Perhaps if breakfast was served from 9-10 that would have been more convenient. The rooms were wonderful and the rest of the boat was also great. The captain also created a lovely atmosphere and everyone loved him!

- Megan, 07/08/2019 10:23, Travelled with Family

This trip was great because: excellent swim tops, excursions, chef & Croatia. I would do it again. NOT GREAT: Terrible scheduling: schedule was set but not conveyed. Ex: We had a swim stop & the tender boat brought me to shore. I knew I had to be back on at 1 pm but the guy who dropped me never said what time to meet the tender. At 12:30 my family and I head back to where the boat dropped us figuring 1/2 hour is plenty of time. We met Ivana the cruise director on the way and she flipped out “ WHERE have you been!? You knew to meet the tender at noon! You are sooo late.!!” We said we didn’t know - no one told us, there’s no written schedule given to passengers & the hand-written schedule Ivana put up didn’t say it either. She nagged the whole way back! “ How did the others know and not you?!!” Dunno - you told them and not us? Instead of saying “Apologies. We will do better to say the schedule. Glad I found you and all’s is well.” Instead she kept nagging. It was awful. No apology.

- Catherine, 29/07/2019 06:33, Travelled with Family

Cristal is one of the newer and largest offered by Sail Croatia. The cabins and baths are very spacious and there are many well designed areas to relax and be with or away from the other guests. The ship is kept very clean by the crew and housekeeping staff. The captain is very welcoming. Our trip had a wonderful group of fellow travelers of all ages from around the world. The food quality could be substantially improved. Many of the port stops are too short and much time is spent at very long swim stops waiting for free public docks to become available at the end of the day. The boat must leave these public docks very early with engines starting at 7 or 8am. The cruse director was enthusiastic, excursion quality highly variable and local port information limited.so do your own homework.

- Steve, 15/07/2019 10:58, Travelled with Family

We very much enjoyed the sampling of islands on this trip. The crew was great, the water crystal clear and relatively warm - swimming off the boat was awesome.

Our boat, Almissa, was beautiful. I let the staff know about my dietary preferences ahead of time and they went out of their way to accommodate me. Meal were basic, but good. The trip was a nice mix of swim stops and time to explore the islands independently. The rafting and kayaking excursions were so-so. The Vis tour, wine tasting and meal at an authentic family restaurant in Korcula were well worth the time / money.

We enjoyed the cruise very much... friendly crew, good weather, great views! We particularly liked the size of the ship. The food was very good... but it would have been nice to have greater choice. Very disappointed not having tea or coffee available all day. As water in cabins undrinkable, water bottles should have been available in the rooms. Spending so little time in Hvar and Dubrovnik was disappointing and only 3 stops for swimming was also surprising. Family night and the Captain's Dinner was a lot of fun! Overall, we enjoyed ourselves but thought the company could have made it better at little additional cost.

- Don, 03/10/2017 03:40, Travelled with Family

Our Elegance cruise was just that, very spacious and modern boat being the Olimp. The crew were very caring and Mia kept us well informed every day of activities. You could be as busy or relaxed as you wanted to be, Our daily lunch was huge and varied. We never felt crowded as there was plenty of room around the boat. Disappointments was being allocated twin beds upon upgrading to a upper deck room. The bar tab at the end is something to watch. There is no price list for the bar and we had to trust a pencil ledger at the end with no dates or prices. We only used the bar on two nights one being half price wine night, (7 wines, 1 beer) and the captains dinner 2 bottles red $65AUD each, 3 wines, 1 beer. 2 beers during the day. This came to over $400AUD total for the 4 of us travelling. Should have reviewed before paying as something was clearly wrong. My suggestion would be drinks to be signed off as ordered and prices given. Others had warned us prior re Sail Croatia bar tabs.

The highlight of the cruise was swimming in the Adriatic Sea, and relaxing on the Olimp. We enjoyed daily visits to the islands, and would have preferred to have more time in Hvar and been able to moar at Bol rather than the other side of the island.

We sailed Dubrovnik-Split with a lovely group & fantastic rep, Stanko. Stan was very informative and looked after our needs very well. The opportunity to see the islands & swim in lovely clear water from the boat was superb. We combined this with. Game of Thoines tour in both Dubrovnik and Split which made the area even more interesting.

- Simon, 15/08/2017 06:52, Travelled with Family

Our cruise got off to a bumpy start. They didn't register our boat in time in Dubrovnik, so they had us stay a night in a hotel there, then take a bus ride the next day to Split to embark on our trip. This made us miss out on 1 1/2 days on the cruise. They only notified us of the problem a few days ahead of our cruise, they made some amends, but I feel they could have done more for the guests. This is the only reason I have not left 5 stars. Once on board, we had an excellent time! Because they were unable to register the sailcroatia boat, they had us on the Barbara, (barbara-cruising.com), which had a fantastic crew that was fun and friendly. Our tour guide Stan who works for Sail Croatia was the absolute best! If you can suggest him for your cruise, do so. He was a walking encyclopedia on any topic - Croatian history, current events, and celebrity gossip. He made the trip for my family because of his fun spirit and positive attitude. We adored Stan and loved the beauty of Croatia

Hello, i just return from elegance cruise Dubrovnik-Split and the trip was great. The boat Esperanza new, clean, comfortable. The places we visit perfect.. i have two things i would like to share in order to improve: 1. the food, even that it wasnt bad, the portions were little and reduced. 2. The breakfast hour, too few time and too early from 8 to 9. In my vacations i also want to sleep and rest a little more and without so strict time. Positive point was Tomo, always with a smile and very kind. Thanks

The cruise was great . The guides, ana,Miranda and Hugo really looked after us . The food was really good and the crew were really helpful. The only thing that let it down was the company themselves, sail Croatia. We had an issue on the boat and they could have handled it better and supported their guides. Especially for a company with so much experience. Shame really. Otherwise a fantastic cruise.

The beautifull Croatia landscapes!!! Very comfortable boat made the trip very interesting. Navigating every morning for such beautiful scenery and docking at lunch time to visit the places of destination made the itinerary very interesting. Highly recommend!

Active Croatia, hiking tour, first week October: Positives: The group were all great fun. Ages ranged from mid 20s to mid 60s along with the consequential mixed abilities. The slow were determined to get up the hills and the fast were patient and supportive. The evenings and dinners were comradely and a dose of \"Cards against humanity\" tore up all inhibitions. The hikes were good and varied. What could have been better: The boat, not having hot-water available for showers after a sweaty walk on some days was poor. Our guide was not a walking guide and did very well given she didn\'t know the routes and we got lost a few times. She and her colleague were personally great and did really well but we paid for a guide not a guide\'s learning experience. Advice: Croatia\'s weather is changeable at this time of year, I hadn\'t realised just how cold the cold days were (8 oC). If you\'re going this late have some warm clothing with you. Overall a lovely trip, would highly recommend

1. When booking, we were never told that we would have to pay all on-board charges with cash - not our credit card at the end of our cruise. 2. Staffing Issues - although the staff on board was extremely friendly, for an 'Elegance Cruise' there should be more staff (i.e. guest should not have to walk to the bar to order, staff should circulate the boat to take orders during opening hours). 3. Meals - Breakfast is only available for 1 hour (8am-9am) each day. Passengers are on holiday, they should be offered meal options whenever they wish. Also, rather than a daily 3 course lunch menu - average at best - an al-a-cart menu should be offered. Many people would prefer to experience local restaurants on the islands rather than being restricted to a 2+ hour on-board lunch every day! 4. Lack of time on islands. On many days, arrival to the next island was AFTER a 2+hour on-board lunch. Arriving earlier would be much better.

The staff and the other guests on the cruise were awesome and they made the whole trip very special. Only criticisms I had were very minor. (Wasn't allowed cheese and bacon in my omelette, only one or the other. Ice in drinks was hard to come, 1 litre of water wasn't enough and wifi was a bit dodgey) Very minor but if I'm paying top dollar for the premier plus boat I would think small things like should be available. On a side note things like stand up paddles boards on the boat for use during swim stops would be the coolest thing ever! Just a suggestion. Overall I still had an amazing time and would definitely come back if I had the chance. Thank you for a lovely week.

My Husband and I really enjoyed this cruise. The crew was wonderful and accommodated any request we had.- specifically my dietary needs for lunch as we both do not eat sea food and I don't eat beef, pork, lamb, etc. Our rooms were clean and spacious for the size of the boat. The swim times/spots were also great! . The only issue I had was the age of the other guests. We are closing in at 60 and the other guests were more in their 30's. My Husband didn't mind; however, I did. Lastly, I think a little Croatian music would have given the atmosphere a more authentic feel..

The boat was very good and the tours well thought out. I love Croatia and the islands. A very relaxing holiday it was above my expectations. The down side was that water, tea and coffee should be included all day every day. Unfortunately I felt like the staff and boat were on rations, I would reather pay a bit more and have these things available. In all I loved the trip and would do it again.
