Wonderful week in Croatia

We enjoyed our week cruising on the Salve Di Mare- a perfect blend of comfort, good food, swimming, relaxing and optional activities. Blessed with perfect September weather as well.

2026 Sail Croatia Memories to treasure

Excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our Sail Croatia Cruise. Hana and the crew looked after everyone and made our cruise very relaxing. Hana informed us all about the beautiful places we were visiting giving us education on history of the towns we visited and so much more on what we could do at all the locations, she was brilliant. The crew looked after us with amazing food, drinks, beautiful swim stops and assistance with anything we needed. Thank you all for our amazing once in a lifetime holiday all the way from Western Australia 🇦🇺 we will never forget out Sail Croatia Cruise 🚢 and the amazing experiences we had

Highly Recommend

We had a fantastic time on our boat Tempera with the crew and Hanah our guide. The islands and swim spots were breathtaking, highly recommend Sail Croatia for a relaxed and enjoyable holiday.

Hard to top

Every thing about our cruise was brilliant. The food ( thanks Bane and Marko) and Joy was the stealthiest housemaid you’ could ever meet she’s like magic. Petra and Neno our bar staff looked after us very well, nothing was a problem. Tino and Charlie the deckies had a great sense of humour and were always up for a chat. Marin our main man coordinated everything we did. Excursions, swim stops anything and everything, if you needed anything he could arrange it. From Dubrovnik to Split via some amazing places shared with others from around the world who are now friends like I said would be hard to top. Thanks everyone.

Excellent boat, cruise , staff & location.

We so enjoyed our week on Contessa ! Beautiful boat, rooms were very clean & comfy, the cruise location sites superb. Delicious food was very freshly prepared by Bane & Marco. Marin made us feel that nothing was a problem & he coordinated & organised all our trips on & off the boat perfectly. Petra & Neno were always there all day with friendly smiles at the bar for drinks or coffee. Our rooms were cleaned & fresh towels by Joy. Tino & Charlie were there to look after the boat & sailing as well as always there for a chat with a smile. Great memories of a Croatia islands cruise as well as the other guests being the best you would want to sail with. Have made many new friends !!

Traveller

So much fun from beginning to end. Our director Marin was energetic, friendly, efficient, helpful and always smiling. My room was larger than i anticipated with lots of storage. Our housemaid, Joy, kept the room clean. Chef Zeljana Bane Marko prepared decadent, healthy, tasty meals. Captain Slavko navigated a safe passage. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the coffee.

Best experience of my life

I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world. Honestly, I’d live on the Contessa with this incredible crew if I could! This was my first solo trip, and as the only solo traveler onboard, I was nervous—but I never once felt alone. A huge shoutout to Marin, who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. He sat with me at lunches, was there whenever anyone needed him, and his knowledge and love for Croatia made the experience even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better ship leader (and he’d literally give you the hoodie off his back!). Petra & Nano were the BEST bartenders—sweet, fun, always joining our games and delivering drinks wherever we were. Tino & Charlie kept us safe, helped at every swim stop, and kept the music flowing. Captain Slavko was incredible and such a pleasure to get to know. Joy kept our rooms spotless, and Bane & Marko made some of the best meals of my entire Europe trip! Truly first-class service and an unforgettable crew, I hope to be back soon!

Our Unforgettable Sail Croatia Experience Contessa Sept 23rd to the 30th 2026

My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience. It was an outstanding trip, and traveling with our group of 10—and getting to know the other passengers—made it even more special. The Contessa was beautiful, but the crew is what truly made this trip unforgettable. Marin, our Tour Director, was wonderful and always attentive and helpful. Neno and Petra were fantastic, always friendly and welcoming. Tito and Charlie, our sailors, worked incredibly hard and always made us feel safe and well cared for. Captain Slavko was outstanding, and Joy kept everything spotless. A special thank-you to Kristijana Zeljana, our Boat Manager and the "Mom" of the boat. She made everyone feel like family. And our chefs, Blane and Marko, prepared some absolutely wonderful meals. Every member of the crew went above and beyond. We came aboard as passengers and left feeling like friends. Croatia was beautiful, but the crew made the trip truly unforgettable. We will always treasure the memories.

Trip of a lifetime

We sailed on the Contessa for the week of September 23rd. The yacht was magnificent. What made the trip so amazing was the entire group of people. We had so much fun and all connected really well. Not only was it a great group of people but the crew was amazing. Marin our tour operator was the best. He was such fun and helped keep us informed and was beyond helpful. All the staff especially Marin, Dino and Petra were incredible. Anyone thinking of sailing with Sail Croatia don’t even hesitate. It will be an unforgettable trip. Thank you to Marin and all the staff on Contessa. You worked so hard to make our week with you such fun and truly memorable.

Explorer Cruise

Hana was the most wonderful guide. I was the only solo traveler on my explorer cruise and met the most wonderful people. The average age of the cruise was probably 50-60 but everyone was so kind. Those of us in the younger demographic became fast friends. The food was great, the staff was incredible, and the cruise was one of the best experiences of my life!

Outstanding holiday

Just an outstanding holiday on Salve di Mare. Everything was fantastic. The crew was excellent, friendly, and attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. The boat is wonderful, comfortable, nicely equipped and clean. The stops were lovely, each somewhat unique in its own way. The Croatian people were very friendlyI I cannot say enough positive things about our trip. Don’t think twice! Book your trip now, you won’t be disappointed.

An amazing experience!!!

This trip on board the ship Contessa was an experience me and my husband will never forget!!! The activities director, Calum (Cal) was a GEM!! If anyone needed something, he was always on it. He was a joy to everyone of us! He was full of information, really fun to be around, kind, not lacking in personality- I think we got the best of the best!! The whole crew was AMAZING!!! The rooms were beautifully done! The whole ship had recently been remodeled and it was perfect. The islands we visited were breathtaking and we couldn’t have been on this ship with better passengers either!! What a FUN group!!! It seems like we became family and it was really hard to say goodbye, in fact I got teary. We didn’t want it to end!!! We LOVED EVERYTHING about those 7 VERY SPECIAL days!!! Thank you for this incredible experience!!

Great way to see Croatia

We enjoyed our holiday on Sail Croatia. The boat was beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable. Croatia has some of the most beautiful water we have ever experienced, and the swim stops were fantastic for enjoying it (apart from a couple areas that were too rough to go in). The crew work hard to ensure passengers are safe and happy. Only con was the quality of food. Reading previous reviews, we were looking forward to amazing meals and unfortunately we did not find it met our expectations. Breakfast was acceptable and did not vary from day to day. The coffee was pretty awful, and you did not want to get the bottom of the carafe as you would be seeing a dark sludge at the bottom of your cup. Lunches were varied, but some issues as well. Some meals were just luke warm, the chicken breast served one day was tough, and the Captain's dinner was small portions. Overall, it was a great way to see Croatia in a short amount of time.

MS Contessa

We felt welcome and so comfortable from the moment we met Marin on the dock prior to boarding. Nothing was too much trouble for Marin and his knowledge of the local area was fantastic. The boat itself is beautifully fitted out with everything you would need as your home away from home. The food was spectacular. The company amazing. Our crew (Marin, Petra, Neno, Tino, Charlie, Bane marko and Joy) made the trip so enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone even remotely considering Croatia as a holiday destination. It’s a great way to see the islands and beautiful swimming bays in style.

Amazing Anniversary Trip

We had an amazing trip which was great because of the crew and Marin our Sail Croatia host. Marin was so helpful every second of the day and made our trip so easy. Equally great were the other passengers. We all got along and did basically everything together. The camaraderie was definitely facilitated by Marin.

Sailed on the Salve di mare

Had an amazing trip! It was exactly what we had hoped for! The small sailboat allowed us to really get to know the others on our trip. We made lasting friendships!! Our Tour rep, Nicos was awesome! Always helpful with options for us to do on each island and gave us the history of where we docking that day. He made the trip so enjoyable. The staff was fabulous! They were so helpful and went our of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The boat was always clean and so nice to come back to a clean room each day! Wife and I agreed that some of the best food we had on our entire 2 week trip was on the boat!!! Trip of a lifetime!!!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

A heartfelt thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We had a delay in London and unfortunately missed the first leg of the cruise, but Lola was absolutely incredible. She guided us to get to the next port so we could catch the cruise. Her kindness and support meant so much to us. Once onboard, the experience was beyond anything I expected. The staff was amazing, Mario so warm, welcoming, and attentive never missed a beat. Chef Kole, WOW he is the friendliest and kindest man. He cooked the most incredible meals and his detail to preparation and plating was over the top. Every detail made us feel so well taken care of. I loved the smaller cruise experience. It made it so easy to connect with everyone, and we met some truly wonderful people and made great connections. I had an amazing time, and the whole experience was honestly more than I expected. I’m so grateful for the memories and the people we met. I would definitely come back! Thank you, I'm very grateful.

Perfect getaway in Croatia

We went on the yoga cruise for a week in September and it was amazing. The yoga every morning was lovely and Dora was a great teacher who catered for all levels. The food on the boat was AMAZING, and there was so much of it. All of the crew were great, kind and attentive. Everything was communicated well and we loved exploring Croatia. I would definitely recommend this trip. I’d do it again in a heartbeat 🫶🏼 Thank you!

7 day trip on Tempera

Excellent. Hana was outstanding. She made every guest feel like a VIP. Incredibly knowledgeable about every stop. The food was first cabin. I felt like i was in a 5 star restaurant. Captain and crew were excellent . As a sailing master for almost 50 years, i was very impressed with their seamanship. Docking and departures were flawless and executed with little or no verbal communication. That shows an experienced, well trained crew. The Tempera was clean and well appointed. Once again, Hana was a joy to be around and made our trip one i will never forget

Mali Ante 9th Sep 2026

This was my second time sailing with Sail Croatia, having previously enjoyed the Elegant Cruise, but it was my very good friend and travel companion Kerry’s first time. We chose the Navigator route from Split to Dubrovnik. I’ll be honest, I had reservations as the ship was considerably older than my previous experience, but I needn’t have worried. We had the most fantastic week! The captain and crew were brilliant – friendly, fun and always happy to help. A special mention to our chef, Kole, who went above and beyond to cater for both our gluten intolerance. The food was amazing, and we never felt we were missing out. Thank you, Kole! Our rep Lola was lovely and so helpful when we got slightly lost. The swim stops, crystal-clear sea, beautiful scenery and excursions were fantastic, especially the buggy excursion! I loved that everything was optional, allowing you to explore, join activities or simply relax on board. The atmosphere was brilliant, with lots of fun, laughter and time

Explorer Contessa with Cal and crew

My explorer cruise on the Contessa was above and beyond my expectations. Cal, our cruise director immediately made me feel comfortable as a solo female traveler who knew no one else on the ship! He was helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and he definitely brought the fun! It was a life-changing week for me, the food, the sites, the new friendships I will not soon forget. Do the canyoning if you are fit and the Stari grad wine tasting was perfection!

A bit different to our usual Motorcycle Holidays.

Our unforgettable holiday on the Salve Di Mare has come to an end, we’ve met some wonderful people and discovered beautiful, captivating places, lots of swim stops with an opportunity to leap into the sea. We’ve been spoilt with exceptional service fantastic food and not having to plan the next days adventure. Our tour rep Vic was on hand every morning to give us the low down of what to expect for the day ahead with informative and useful tips for making the most out of each stop. Great value, fantastic scenery lovely people super ship. Thank you all for giving us a wonderful holiday and faultless hospitality. Till the next time, happy sailing. Dave & Sonia Lundy

Not enough stars for the crew on the Almissa yoga cruise. The welcoming from the first day til the sad last day! Dora- our breath of fresh air. Goes above and beyond. Whatever you needed she was there. Chefs- I have never ate so well on a holiday. Still want the recipes! Deckhands- so funny and handle the boat and tinder expertly. Cezar and Kafka - Bartenders/Maid /servers- we kept you guys very busy and you were top notch! Captain Josef- great honor to sail with him. He is a master of his craft. Would highly recommend sailing with this crew and boat! Going to miss all the fun with yoga, swimming holes, hikes and wine tasting/dinner. Thank you for a truly wonderful and unforgettable holiday!

Unmissable Yoga Almissa

My week aboard the Almissa was exciting, active and very memorable. I was a solo traveller but made friends very quickly with my fellow passengers and with the crew. All had stories to tell and I was happy to listen. I booked on the yoga cruise as I needed to sale on those dates. I did do yoga and aim to continue when my holidays are over. Prior to my holiday I hadn’t done yoga before. Dora the Yoga instructor and activities Manager led the class well. I fell asleep so relaxed after the first session. I loved swimming and chilling at the swim spots, enjoyed challenging myself by jumping off the 6metre high roof deck with the other dare devils and it was great when the captain and crew joined in for a swim or a jump over the side or a paddleboard. During one conversation with the captain, on the night of the ‘Captains Dinner’ we talked about the ongoing maintenance that is done during the off season to keep the Almissa looking so good. She looked spotless start to finish.

Swimming off the dock into the ocean was a highlight. The meals were luxurious. Tour guide had a wealth of knowledge.

Tempe

Overall wonderful way to see Coastal Croatia and would definitely recommend. Mario was our tour guide and he was amazing, really helpful and kind. The crew were great. The boat itself was outdated but nothing that affected our holiday. Food was good overall. Great itinerary and overall we had a lot of fun. Couple days towards the end felt a little rushed. Even earlier breakfast and very short swim stop to get to islands which there was nothing to do on. Would have appreciated better and longer swim stops on those. Customer service was great helping answer questions and booking. Overall definitely recommend the cruise.

Great trip

We had a great family trip on our Explorer cruise. It was a good amount of scheduled activities and also free time to relax. The Croatian islands are beautiful and fun to explore. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for sure!

Sail away

My husband and I, and some friends cruised Split to Dubrovnik on Salve di Mare in Sep '26. We enjoyed it very much. The ship was beautiful. Our room was very comfortable. Our package included breakfast and lunch. The food was faultless! Both meals were excellent Breakfast consisted of hot and cold choices and was tasty,fresh and plentiful. Our three course lunch was impressive to say the least - restaurant worthy, tasty, fresh and varied. Hats off to the chef - he did an amazing job! Equally impressive was the bar staff - Marco and Vlaho! They knew every single name in the first hour ! And, they knew all of our preferred drinks by dinner! No request was too hard, or a bother for them. They were warm, welcoming and always smiling. Cheers to both of them Our cruise director Vicko was knowledgable and always willing to help. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering this cruise.

Beyond the celebration

This cruise was the perfect balance of adventure, culture, relaxation, and time together. What I loved most was that the itinerary never felt forced. There were excursion options for everyone, while still giving us the freedom to explore, relax, or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The food was wonderful—from continental-style breakfasts to three-course lunches we looked forward to each day. The entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and supportive. A special mention to our cruise director, whose passion for his job and his country was contagious. Each day, he shared the history and culture of the city we were visiting, making every stop feel even more meaningful. We came to celebrate a milestone birthday with friends, but left with memories that went far beyond the celebration. The perfect way to experience Croatia, slow down, and truly enjoy the people you’re traveling with. ❤️

The Best Trip

Croatia itself is absolutely stunning but what really made the trip was the crew. We got to know everyone throughout the week & they genuinely made the whole experience the best it could have been. Marin was the best. Always so happy, helpful & willing to go above & beyond for everyone. I especially loved his “me time”. Kristijana was amazing. Everything seemed to run so smoothly & you could tell how much work she was doing behind the scenes. Neno & Jovana were so canny. They were friendly from day one & somehow always remembered exactly what we liked to drink. Marko & Bane - The food was amazing every single day & they were so accommodating with my allergy. Charlie & Tino, are brilliant at what they do. They brought such a good energy to the trip while making everything look effortless. Joy was ridiculously nice and our rooms were always spotless. Slavko was brilliant. It was so nice getting to know the whole crew & genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Unforgettable

Beautiful trip thru the islands of Croatia starting in Dubrovnik and ending in Split. Our cruise director, Anita was so kind and amazing! She always answered questions, explained the local culture, and set up side trips for us. The boat was comfortable with daily cleaning and I was thankful for the A/C! The swim stops were so incredibly beautiful that I have renamed my home WiFi to “swimstop” to honor them. Blue and clear every day! The food was so good and accommodated dietary restrictions for my friends. I miss the chef. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation with friends, Sail Croatia.

The best trip imaginable

We travelled as a large group on the Sail Croatia boat “Queen Jelena”. It was beyond anything we had hoped for and we had high expectations! The crew was amazing, the destinations incredible, the excursions and our crew leader Anita were beyond measure. Highly recommend this trip and this boat!!

- Angie, 03/09/2026 22:46, Travelled with Friend/s

Change the name of the boat from Queen Jelena to Queen Anita!

I don’t think I have enough kind words in my vocabulary to express the gratitude, appreciation, and the feeling overwhelming fulfillment after getting off your ship. First, Anita needs a promotion asap. Her love for her country, and her love for her job is so heartwarming, I can honestly say I have never met a more beautiful soul. Anita is AMAZING! Second, the crew was phenomenal. By the end of the week they felt like family. Lucy and Pamela were outstanding, as were the rest of the crew. We felt at home, we were welcomed warmly, and I couldn’t have expected a better week abroad. Total relaxation and stress free for 7 days. Thank you!

Still Smiling

I can’t say enough good things about our trip, from the Captain to the Crew and most importantly, the Cruise Director, Anita. We had the most amazing experience and felt very well taken care of. The ship was always spotless and watching the Captain cruise into port and dock the yacht was a sight to see. The Crew worked so hard in assisting, making every detail seem effortless. The Chef always had a delicious 3-course lunch that was always a delight and left us satisfied all day. Anita was incredible and well organized. All adventures were well organized and detailed and made each day even more enjoyable. Anything we needed, we could count on Anita to direct us and make our experience even better than expected. We’re still smiling and enjoying our memories that’ll be with us forever!

This Event Planner was blown away - in a wonderful way.

Wow - this is the first time I've done this style of trip. I am so impressed with Sail Croatia, the food, crew, boat. I was especially so impressed with Anita. She was so impressive as a host... amazingly organized, so professional and did everything with a smile. I know I speak for the others in saying she was the absolute best.

Unforgettable Croatian Adventure – Ask for Anita!

Our time on the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Exploring the coast by boat is easily the best way to see the country, but what elevated this trip from great to extraordinary was our tour manager, Anita. Anita made the entire journey seamless and special. Her communication throughout the trip was fantastic, keeping everyone organized and informed without ever making the schedule feel rushed. Every morning started with engaging history briefings about our upcoming stops, giving us incredible context for the towns, islands, and historical sites we explored. The itinerary itself struck the perfect balance between structure and leisure. The daily swim stops in crystal-clear Adriatic waters were an absolute highlight, and Anita went above and beyond by taking care of restaurant bookings and local reservations at our port stops, ensuring we always had amazing meals and hassle-free evenings.

Excellent Adventure

This was a first for us and friends with Sail Croatia. Traveling on a smaller ship was amazing and the Kraljica Jelena was wonderful, made possible by the Captain and crew who diligently took care of the ship daily - cleanliness was on point. Also what made this adventure so amazing was the coordination of events, communication, and awesome attitude and humor of our crew coordinator, Anita Condic. She is an excellent representative of Sail Croatia and made everyone feel at home away from home. We loved our excursions and swim stops and enjoyed her sharing Croatia with us! We would highly recommend Sail Croatia and will keep future adventures in mind!

Excellent Trip: Split to Dubrovnik - Great meals, boat and staff!

We had an excellent time aboard the Contessa on our 7 day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. We were impressed by the spaciousness of the cabins, the high level of finishes of the boat, the excellent meals, the cordial staff, and to make things better, all the other passengers were delightful as well. Kudos to the entire team: Marin (the tour manager), jovana and neno (bartenders), bane and marko (chefs), charlie and tino (sailors), joy (housekeeping), kristijana (boat manager) and above all, captain slavko! highly recommend and hope to sail with sail croatia in the future!

Outstanding adventure with Sail Croatia!

In a word, exceptional. Everything about our Salve Di Mare cruise was outstanding. The crew - including the amazing Hana - hit it out of the park. They could not have been more accommodating, helpful, and kind - Marco Polo, Polo Marco, Julia, Richard, the Captain - every single one was a textbook of stellar customer service. I've already recommended Sail Croatia to three friends who saw my FB postings. Thank you, team Salve Di Mare! Can't wait to return.

Travelled on Queen Jelena from Dubrovnik to Split. The Captain and his crew were wonderful! So professional and courteous. Service was impeccable, breakfasts and lunches were top notch. Chef and sous chef did a great job getting hot food out to all on board at the same time and the stewardesses never missed. Cabin attendant kept our towels fresh daily , sailors were terrific!

I can’t speak highly enough about this experience I had on Almissa with sail Croatia. It was so enjoyable and comfortable that the boat genuinely started to feel like home. From the people we met, to the destinations we sailed to, and the experiences we got to have, it made leaving on our last day very difficult. The entire staff on the boat, especially, were so dedicated to making our time the best it possibly could be that everything blew me away. 10000/10 staff. I don’t think I could recommend visiting this beautiful country any other way than by sail. I will be back on the almissa in the future.

We had a great time on the sailing trip, and the staff really made the experience special. Everyone was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure guests had a good time. Their professionalism and positive attitude were definitely the highlight of the trip. That said, the cleanliness of the boat could use some improvement. While it didn’t ruin our experience, some areas felt like they could have benefited from a more thorough cleaning and a little more attention to upkeep. Excursions and swim stop locations were amazing. Truly once and a lifetime views. Food was delicious as well.

Our family of eight had an absolutely incredible experience aboard the Contessa. The beautiful Croatian destinations, swimming stops and excursions were unforgettable, but it was the amazing crew who truly made our trip so special. Marin, our tour guide, was outstanding- knowledgeable, organized, fun and always willing to help. Captain Slavko, boat manager Kristijana, sailors Charlie and Tino, along with Ivana, Neno, Joy and the wonderful chefs, went above and beyond for our entire family. Their kindness, attention to detail and excellent service made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the cruise. The meals were delicious, the boat was beautiful and every part of the trip was thoughtfully planned. We made priceless family memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you to Sail Croatia and the entire Contessa crew for giving our family the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend this cruise!

An unforgettable experience from beginning to end — I already have withdrawals! 🇭🇷❤️

My week on the Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise aboard the Contessa with my friend was truly unforgettable. From the planning and excursions to the beautiful islands and amazing food, everything was so well done. But what really made the trip special was the people. The crew created such a fun, welcoming environment that a boat full of strangers quickly felt like a group of friends and family. Huge thank you to Marin, Ivana, Neno, Joy, Charlie, Tino, Kristijana, Captain Slavko, Bane and Marko for making the week so memorable — and for keeping us very well fed and informed! I met some incredible people along the way, and by the end of the week, saying goodbye was genuinely hard. That says everything about the kind of experience Sail Croatia creates. I’m already talking about doing it again and bringing more friends and family next time. Croatia was amazing, but the people and memories are what I’ll remember most. ❤️🇭🇷⛵️ 10/10 — would absolutely do it again!

Pomalo — Trust the Crew & Enjoy the Ride

I knew this trip would be once-in-a-lifetime, but the Contessa crew exceeded every expectation! My family had so much to celebrate—my parents renewed their vows, I got engaged, and I celebrated 20 years cancer-free. As someone who normally travels with a detailed itinerary and spreadsheet, this was the first time I truly let go and went pomalo—and I’m so glad I did. In just 7 days, strangers from Canada, Australia, Norway, and the USA became friends. That says everything about the incredible atmosphere this crew created. A huge thank you to Marin for his hospitality, local knowledge, humor, and always keeping us safe and taken care of. Neno & Ivana made the boat drinks unforgettable! Joy kept my room spotless and cozy, while Bane & Marko served food worthy of a five-star restaurant. And thank you to Tino, Charlie, Captain Slavko & Kristijana for everything you did behind the scenes. I’m already looking through photos with serious holiday blues. Thank you, Contessa crew!

I cannot speak more highly of Sail Croatia and the service they provided. We sailed the Contessa on the Explorer and it truly felt like you were on a yacht. Our tour guide, Marin, was absolutely the best. Not only did he always have good and honest recommendations, he made sure to accommodate your every need and request. Day of reservations? No problem, Marin took care of it. The food served was excellent, I left lunch everyday not able to finish all that they served. Our bartenders were also top tier. They truly mixed better cocktails than what we would have on land, shout out to Neno! A truly professional crew from the sailors to the housekeeper. I did not want to leave at the end of the week and wish i could have sailed with the crew for another week! Thank you Marin and all of the crew who curated the perfect experience!

Ivana and Neno were fantastic behind the bar, always friendly and making great cocktails. Joy kept our cabin spotless and the whole boat was exceptionally clean.

The spa pool was fantastic too. Overall, a brilliant trip with a great crew. We would happily recommend Sail Croatia.

Amazing, 5 stars all around.

I began this trip thinking it would be a ONCE-in-a-lifetime trip. It was so fabulous I would do it every year if budget allowed! The yacht was spacious and well-appointed. Our guide, Hana, was OUTSTANDING. Cannnot say enough good things about her concierge-type service, her kindness, and her stellar approach to guiding 31 guests through mulitple excursions, all with a smile. The chefs consistently put out 5 star meals, and our servers were attentive to every need. And the Croatian coast/islands are a beautiful ocean gem - other island vacation destinations pale in comparison. All put together, the result was memories that will last a lifetime.

Salve di Mare, incredible ship and crew

Amazing voyage on the Salve di Mare. Hana (tour coordinator) and the crew of the Salve di Mare earned a 11 out of 10 for our group of eight trek through the islands down the Dalmatia coast. This ship is pristine. Bedrooms spacious. Super comfortable beds. The ports along the way, and unique swimming stops, take all the thinking out of this kind of week long trip. The extensive buffet breakfasts and multi course lunches will keep foodies very, very happy. The vessel was spotless the entire trip and more than exceeded our group's expectations. Hana is the most capable person I've ever experienced in my four decades of being on the road for work and is the ultimate logistics "fixer", making experienced suggestions every step you take and every knot you sail. You want drinks on the top of a castle, a party in a coastal cave, a quiet table for a seaside dinner, Hana delivered every request. The ship's crew quickly helped 31 strangers become part of their maritime family., thank you.

What a week - couldn’t recommend more highly

My friends and I had the most incredible week on Sail Croatia’s Almissa. The crew were incredibly passionate about Croatia and all had deep local connection, which seemed to be a huge point of difference from competing operators. The Tour Manager Sanja was an absolute professional. She was beaming with energy and positivity all week - articulate, approachable and genuinely cared. Nothing was too much trouble. Sanja is truly a genuine asset to your business. The itinerary on our Explorer trip blended the perfect combination of relaxation and swim stops with exploring the very best the Croatian coastline had to offer. The meals provided were all of a high quality - we were genuinely surprised with how tasty the meals were. What instantly struck us is how the crew treated us all like family and were incredibly helpful and warm. This fostered a really friendly, social atmosphere across the vessel. My only suggestions for improvement are the quality of the linen & towels-it felt very cheap.

Fabulous holiday that provided you lots of adventure without you having to plan anything. Amazing crew and top notch food daily. By the end of the week you’ll have met many new acquaintances. Lots of daily fun facts about each island you visit. My favourite was the daily water stops where you were able to get off boat and swim in the crystal clear sea. What better way to explore beautiful Croatia than Sail Almissa!

Our week aboard Salve Di Mare with Sail Croatia was truly one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. We boarded a little nervous about spending a week on a boat with 27 strangers and left feeling like we were saying goodbye to family. The ship was beautiful, the swim stops incredible, the food fantastic, but it was the people who made this trip unforgettable. A huge thank you to the amazing crew: Hana, our boat mom, for taking such great care of us; Frane for getting us safely to the most incredible swim stops; Fadil and Richie for keeping everything running; Marko and Vlaho for keeping us very well “hydrated”; Julija for keeping our cabins spotless and always greeting us with kindness; and Bojan and Elena for keeping us fed and happy with delicious meals.

Croatian Adventures from Dubrovnik to Split

We thought everything was pretty much spot on. The Ship and staff were excellent. Our only negative was the timing of breakfast and lunch, along with the swim stops. We understand you have to adapt the schedule each day to cooincide with when you have to be at the next Port. But for the most part in chatting with our shipmates, we felt like....hurry and get up for breakfast, hurry and eat, go for a swim....but we just ate....hurry for lunch....then we typically need time to digest. We have 3 or 4 hours between breakfast and lunch......then 6 to 8 hours between lunch and dinner. It just felt like the meals on board could be stretched out longer and not rushed. The Bar, when ordering a drink, please serve the alcohol that is listed on the menu. Those are our only negatives, otherwise we totally loved the small ship cruising experience. Special thank yous to Yolana in the Salon, and Joy the housekeeper. We found out late that she is a massage therapist..too bad that service was N/A

Unique experience was heightened by the crew: their smiles, going above & beyond without request, delicious food (accommodating allergies & preferences too). Favorite memories: Sailor Tino serving as cocktail server delivering to our "floating bar" we created utilizing the paddle boards during swim stops. Bartender Naeno remembering my drinks from day 1 - am manually making my fresh iced tea from brewed & pm chardonnay w/3 ice cubes. Great conversation & genuinely cared to get to know people. Bartender Joanna sweet & accommodating even when I was being "extra". Attendant Joy for keeping our cabin clean-constantly replacing bathmat & folding clothes, etc. Our space cozy and spotless too. Director Vin was funny even when he wasn't trying to be. Tip to future guests: Do not start a drinking game where you drink anytime he says the word "ALSO". If ya know, ya know. Don't forget Sailor Charlie - ALWAYS cleaning the yacht. Have a chat with him about where he's lived too.

Amazing Experience

I had a wonderful time on this trip! The crew was great and the food was delicious. Every spot we went to was beautiful. It would have been nice to explore the towns in the morning and then do a swim stop after lunch when it was extremely hot. I also wish there was more excursions like jet skis or fishing. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

John and Deb

We enjoyed our trip tremendously. We have never been on a cruise. This is the best way to give a cruise a try. It’s a smaller cruise boat with only a handful of people and crew. Great bar with attentive staff. No disco and thousands of people swarmed by a pool. The food was very good. It was the perfect balance of action, adventure, sightseeing and relaxation. The private swim coves were one of our favorite parts of the day. Our coordinator Klara was amazing. I know it’s her job to be friendly but I truly felt like she really enjoyed our group and wanted to hang out with us. I definitely recommend Sail Croatia. We may even try their Greek Island tour…only if Klara is the coordinator.

Perfect family holiday

We were blown away by the end to end experience w/ Sail Croatia— thoughtful stops, daily swimming, excursions + dining reservations made in advance on your behalf. We are busy working parents juggling robust school + sports schedules. Once we got onboard we left all the logistics, planning, navigating to Sail Croatia and were able to miss many of the crowds commonly found across Croatia in August. Our tour manager Hana is an ace at her job and brought in enough history / cultural overview to keep the teenagers interested. Food was beyond expectation and accommodating of allergies + preferences. Cabins were clean and well appointed. We will be re booking this holiday! 5 stars.

First time in Croatia - Great Vacation

We we're on the Queen Jelena with about 30 individuals including our family of four. Our family included a 17 year old, college student, and my wife and I. Our kids met other guests within the same age range and we all had a great time. Our tour manager Vicko was great and made the trip memorable. He helped us understand logistics, provided great recommendations, and made the trip engaging and fun overall. I would do it again, and would request Vicko to be our guide.

The Almissa: Dubrovnik to Split: Aug 8-15, 2026

Great! Owner Pave & Capt Josip and his amazing staff were not only hardworking, attentive, always available but lotsa fun too, especially Caesar and Kafka. To The Chef's: your meals were all great w tasty desserts - THAT semi-fredo was to die for! Chefs: well done! Our tour director: the wonderfully vivacious Hana: SHE was everything above and beyond a tour guide: knowledgeable, super helpful, organized, always 24/7: Her group WhatsApp for us was a wealth of itinerary info, recommendations, Q&A, & constant banter of places to see and enjoy! And was extremely helpful with reservations, rides, anything needed at port - we highly recommend seeking her trip schedule when booking Sail-Croatia. To Sail Croatia, Pave, Capt Josip, his crew and especially Hana: many Thanks for a memorable vacation of island hopping that we will recommend highly to many!!

Amazing Croatia

We had a wonderful time on Sail Croatia, we had a great host in Klara. She was well supported by the great crew on Esperanza. Amazing part of the world that is best explored on Sail Croatia. The food was excellent, beautiful blue waters for swim stops and we had a great group to enjoy it with, we highly recommend Sail Croatia

Best thing I’ve done

This holiday was amazing. I went with my friend and we had the best of times and I’m sure if I went solo I would have had an equal amount of fun!! Whilst we were the youngest on the cruise, it didn’t matter, everyone on board had a great energy and our rep Viko brought everyone together. He was amazing. The excursions were also amazing with Viko letting us know honest opinions of them whilst using banter along the way. The Canyoning in Makarska was definitely a highlight. Just be prepared to pay a lot more than what the ship cost. The wifi was pretty slow and crap but we spent lots of time together and at the swim spots it didn’t really matter in the day and there was a decent amount of service from the ports at night.

Beyond expectations

We were on board Almissa and apart from the amazing itinerary and coastline we travelled I found Hana from Sail Croatia friendly, informative and extremely helpful. She was a bubble of joy. To the hard working sailors (deck hands, multi taskers) whose names I just can’t place thank you. The boat was handled beautifully and kept sparkling by you two. To the chefs… the food was lovely and I’ve definitely put on a couple of kegs haha. Caesar and Kafka you made the trip something to treasure… your friendliness and charm made us feel like family. To Josip the Captain. Thank you for your chats, generosity and for your exemplary handling of the boat. Also to Parva, meeting you was a treat and you’re a very special kind of person - one of a kind. Highly recommend this crew and the boat

Fantastic experience on the Contessa

I had a wonderful experience exploring the Croatian islands from Dubrovnik to Split aboard the Contessa. The yacht was luxurious, the group was super fun and the overall journey was just fantastic. Comfort, cleanliness, tasty food, great itinerary and unforgettable moments. I'll be back!

The Almissa- Sail Croatia was an amazing week cruising several Croatian islands. The swim stops in secluded coves were daily highlights. Our upper deck cabin was perfect! The interesting mix of fellow travellers was equally enjoyable

Incredible trip!

Croatia is so beautiful, blue waters everywhere. The captain and the crew nembers were friendly and courteous! Especially, HANA made everything so pleasant, so friendly, and was on top of any issues and resolved right away. Hana worked to make sure every guest was happy, satisfied and having a good time. I already mentioned about this cruise to people around me to consider taking this cruise. Thanks to all for letting us have an unforgettable trip!

A great way to experience Croatia

My friend and I (50s) had a wonderful time on a 7 day cruise on the Almissa (Explorer Cruise). Our Sail Croatia tour leader Hana was a major part of making the entire experience so great. She took care of all logistics and communicated very well. The rest of the crew was amazing as well. The food was delicious and the bartenders were so cool. Everyone was friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The best part was probably the extended daily swim stops. If you are thinking of seeing Croatia by sea - Sail Croatia is the way to go. Remember the navigator is for younger party crowd, explorer is for people seeking activities and excursions and elegance is for the less active travelers. Highly recommend and try to find what ship Hana is leading.

Croatia sailing

Sailed on the Contessa. The cabin was wonderful with lots of storage. Suggest having a top sheet on beds and a shower mat as floor is slippery. Loved all of the ports and time to swim in the Adriatic! Wonderful crew. Requested an itemized bill at the end but said they don't have a printer. The food was amazing! Fresh fruit everyday, pastries, eggs etc. Lunch was bountiful! The presentation of meals was 5 star! Loved the view from the top deck and all around the ship. A small thing, but maybe a sign upon arrival posting Welcome to ...(port). The crew works very hard and the ship is immaculate. I'd highly recommend. A fantastic experience. Can't wait to recommend to my clients. Darlene

Excellent sail trip in Croatia

10/10 for Sail Croatia. This trip exceeded my families expectations. The tour manager (Hana) and crew were excellent - informative, fun and lots of attention to detail. Daily swim stops were idyllic, each island had something to offer and the ship had great amenities. Rooms were spacious, very clean and great AC. Common areas were very well kept and food was great with change up’s every day. We relaxed, had fun and truly enjoyed Croatia. Would travel with Sail Croatia again and highly recommend to others!

We will be back and recommend highly.

Super vacation

One of, if not the best vacation I have had. Very service minded crew. The boat was great. Best part for me was the sosial aspect. Got to know the other guests and crew. In addition I felt like I could relax with a good consciousness. Didn’t feel like I missed out when I was relaxing on deck while the boat was sailing to a new dock. Then when we docked I could do excursions, chill some more, go to the beach or explore a city. Highly recommend. Was perfect!

Great week

We had an amazing experience. The crew and Josko were great. The rooms were great spacious and clean. The boat was very clean and staff was attentive. Couple suggestions would be if there was a. Way to keep the breakfast hot as it was cold by the time we ate. Be nice to have. Coffee through out the day and it be available earlier. The plants on the tables were nice but to big. When paying our bar bill it was difficult as we never saw or get emailed a receipt to show the breakdown. That might be something we should get before leaving a printed one. The bar attendants were so fun. The lunches were amazing. Only meal was the veal that was not good. Swim stops were beautiful. And staff was great setting everything up for us.to enjoy the swim spots. Josko was great helping us find the best places to eat and answered other questions we had. If it was a full boat I don’t think the hot tub would have worked for 36 passengers. We were lucky to only have 16 on board. Thank you to all

Amazing week sailing Croatia aboard Almissa!

We had an absolutely amazing week sailing aboard Almissa! The country is stunning, with breathtaking coastline, crystal-clear water, and beautiful towns to explore. A special thank you to the incredible crew of Almissa for being so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The food on board was exceptional—far beyond our expectations and honestly one of the highlights of the trip. A big shout-out as well to our tour manager, Josip, who was fantastic. He was fun, approachable, incredibly well organized, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a great time and knew about all the available activities and options. This was a truly memorable experience, and I would absolutely sail Croatia again—perhaps on a different route next time. Highly recommended!

Traveling with a great group of friends made our trip extra special, but the crew truly made the trip. The chef was incredible — every meal felt like a highlight of the day, with fresh, delicious food that kept getting better. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the waters and islands inside out, always ready with great recommendations. Our host went above and beyond helping us plan each day, striking the perfect balance between must-see spots and relaxed time on the water. Croatia's coastline is stunning, but it was the people on board who made this trip unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mix of adventure, great food, and top-notch hospitality!

Amazing week on Almissa!

We travelled on the Almissa with a total group of 22 people to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. This was one of THE BEST TRIPS I have ever taken! We could not have been happier with the service, cleanliness of the ship, fun excursions, excellent food and drinks and exceptional crew! Captain Josip was the best! He sailed the Almissa perfectly, changing the order of our itinerary to best suit weather and wind conditions, giving us a perfect week of sun and beautiful weather. Our sailors Ivan and Capo took beautiful care of the ship, working tirelessly behind the scenes. Chefs Marko and Bogden prepared delicious meals with very large potions and beautiful presentation. Bartenders Kafka and Cezar prepared wonderful drinks while interacting with all of us in a fun atmosphere. We loved Hana our cruise director, she was THE BEST! She lovingly took care of all of our needs, provided us with history, information on restaurants and places to see, and even made a reservation for 22 of us!

Unforgettable

I don’t have the words to clearly express how amazing the Almissa cruise was. I’ve travelled a lot and met many wonderful people, however Hana, our Tour Director, was special and will linger in my memory. It’s easy to provide information but Hana was honest about what was available to see or do and determined that everyone would have something they liked, but most of all she enjoyed every single person on board, listening to their stories about life and experiences. What a wonderful person! Sail Croatia is lucky to have her. The rest of the crew was also amazing, our Bartenders (aka waiters) were hilarious and so sweet, they genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time and it showed. The entire crew was amazing led by a Captain that knew when the winds were shifting and seas might get rough! The food was excellent, the Almissa is a beautiful sailboat. I loved my room, excellent comfortable bed. Would I go again? In a heartbeat, but I’d go because of the crew!!

We sailed on the Almissa for my sister in laws 60th birthday. We had the most amazing trip! Captain Joseph was the most amazing captain! He was so friendly and genuinely loved sailing his ship. He found the most outstanding swim spots. He truly enjoyed talking to all his passengers. Our bartenders Cezar and Kufca were so fun and so personable!! They knew all our names by the end of the first day! The food was really very good. We had breakfast and lunch everyday on the boat! The sailors were outstanding as well! The star of the show was Hana! We all absolutely fell in love with our ships director(not sure the actual term). But Hana was soooo lovely! We were informed every day with the schedule of events. She sent us restaurant recommendations and made us reservations if we needed. Everyday she gave us a presentation of what we would see on our next stop. She planned a birthday dinner including cake. But most of all she took the time to get to know every one of us! We loved her!

One of the most amazing weeks! The crew were incredible, the meals were delicious and the boat was so comfortable and clean. I love that we had swim spots everyday, the crew and guides were so helpful and gave so many Suggestions but you could also do as you pleased when you docked. The group chat meant we had our itinerary for the day and knew what our options were and when things were happening. A very easy way to see a lot of different islands, meet people and enjoy Croatian summer . Highly recommend if you love the ocean and want to see lots of the islands in Croatia 🇭🇷

I would say though when asked if you have dietary restrictions, if you don’t like fish or tomatoes worth saying as they are very much apart of the meals. Overall meals were good.

The Cruise and the Crew of the Almissa

About 18 months ago, I saw Sail Croatia on Instagram and quickly showed it to my wife. With her blessing, I reached out and booked our trip. We quickly told friends about it and were a total of six when we boarded the Almissa. Simply stated, the trip was amazing. Our captain, our crew, and our bartenders (Cezar and Kafka) were the best. Always there for anything we needed, and always with a smile. Everything you see on the cruise is beautiful but the service on the Almissa took it over the top. Each day you leave a location, eat wonderful food on the boat, have a swim stop, and end up in a new location. The food was excellent. I am a picky eater and loved everything. The swim stops are so beautiful that we all agreed that pictures were not doing them justice. The size of the ship allows for smaller ports and takes you to places you likely would not see otherwise. I cannot recommend this cruise enough. It was a highlight of not just this trip, but all the trips we have taken.

Take the Plunge!

If you are considering a Sail Croatia trip, take the plunge and go! We absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. (We departed Dubrovnik on July 4 and ended in Split - Explorer.) The itinerary was the perfect combination of beautiful destinations, swimming, adventure, culture, food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the incredible Adriatic coastline. What really made the trip special, though, was the experience of traveling with a small group and the dedicated crew. Of our 31 travelers, 11 were international (Scottish, British, Spanish, Australian, South African), with the rest from the US - and all were awesome humans! With Josip as our guide, and the Salve Di Mare crew caring for us all week, we enjoyed every minute with all our new friends. And the ship is perfection! The trip was well organized, while still feeling relaxed and adventurous. We came home with memories we'll never forget and friends we hope to see again. Five stars without hesitation!

It was even better than I expected! I met so many people and discovered new places all while staying in luxury. Our tour manager Dino was amazing, nothing was ever a problem for him to sort out. The same goes for the rest of the staff too. I will definitely do it again in the future!

Unforgettable experience of a lifetime

Our week on the Almissa was amazing. Great food, staff, rooms, common spaces and other guests. The itinerary was excellent including a variety of activities and swim spots. A truly unique and special way to experience Croatia and we have no hesitation recommending the Almissa. The Sail Croatia communication was good in the lead up to the tour. A few things to note as feedback. Make the end of tour survey anonymous to get honest and useful feedback, carrying cash is a pain now for tourists - the fact everything on the boat and the extra tours and tips are to be paid in cash is inconvenient. Towels on the ship could be replaced - they are getting a bit old. Provide tea and coffee after lunch for free. This would be a small inexpensive thing to include - many international guests like their coffee and tea in the afternoon. 3 Euros for a cup of tea is way over the top. Finally the tipping recommendation appears out of step with what the cruise cost is. Small suggestions.

Best Experience Ever

Best trip of a lifetime thanks to Sail Croatia. The boat, Capitan, crew, chief, cleaning, and all were exceptional. The attention to details and assuring we had what we needed was amazing. This trip could not have gone better.

Contessa - July 2026

We had an amazing trip! The crew and coordinator (Boat Manager Christiana, coordinator Nikos, sailors Tino and Charlie, waiters Neno and Martin, and maid Joy) all did an amazing job. They all went the extra mile to make sure we were accommodated. The ship had just been renovated, and it was definitely and it was very nice. Rooms and bathrooms were very spacious. Other common areas of the ship (upper sun deck, saloon, etc.) were very nice. Would highly recommend Sail Croatia and the Contessa ship.

Sailing Croatia

Excellent holiday with good room and great food. Staff were helpful and pleasant The only criticism is that the last day sailing was in Split and felt as though the holiday had ended 1 day early. I would have preferred to visit another island.

Wonderful Week

We had a fab week on Jelena with a great group of fellow guests.The crew were brilliant and Dino was super and did all he could to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. The food was excellent and Pam & team did a great job. Very difficult to find fault and would thoroughly recommend and hope to do another trip next year.

One of the Best Family Vacations We've Ever Taken!

Our Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best trips of my life! My husband, our adult kids, and I all agreed it was an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful, our cabin was spacious, and it was meticulously cleaned every day. The food was outstanding, and the entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help. A special thank you to our tour manager, Dino. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations at every stop, helping us make the most of each destination. Although our itinerary changed slightly due to weather and docking conditions, it worked out perfectly. We visited Jelsa, which ended up being our favorite stop of the trip! The swim stops were absolutely spectacular, with crystal clear water and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering Sail Croatia, don't hesitate. It was an incredible experience, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best Vacation Ever!

Couldn’t have had a more perfect experience. Dino and crew of the Queen Jelena were just awesome! The food, views, swim stops, and accommodations were top notch. Only thing more amazing was Croatia itself - what a beautiful country and no better way to see it than aboard a Sail Croatia yacht!!

Well Organized, Relaxing, and Great Food

I was pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything went. Everything was organized and I felt like I didn't need to worry about anything. I was also surprised how good the lunches were. I am a tad picky, but the food was just great. I'll also note that our room was bigger and more comfortable than expected. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing trip to a beautiful location.
