Great holiday

We had a wonderful time sailing throughout Croatia's coastline and islands. Our Tour Manager, Anita did a wonderful job, caring for all of us and going out of her way to make sure we were all comfortable and happy. The ship was great and the weather was spectacular. The captain Ivan, and all the crew on board were friendly and hardworking. We were just sorry that the cruise only lasted one week, as we could have loved to explore more of Croatia.

Holiday Perfection

Our 8 day Sail Croatia Elegance Cruise on board Katarina in July ticked all the boxes. Good food, great crew, magnificent scenery, the right amount of activities offered and comfortable lounges and cabins. We highly recommend Sail Croatia and in particular our excellent cruise director Anita. She was amazing.

Unforgettable Croatia.

Sail Croatia delivered a one of a kind experience that we will not soon forget. We were a group of 4 couples and this was our 1st time in Croatia. The tour offered us an amazing opportunity to hug the coastline, and see so many different islands-- big and small. The daily swim stops did not disappoint. They were spectacular! There truly was something for everyone. The entire crew was outstanding; and our tour manager Anita, was kind, caring, sweet, attentive, and funny. It's a 24/7 job to manage and please 30 plus varied guests. The rest of the guests were open, welcoming, and a true joy to be around! We could not have asked for better humans to dine and travel with! We hope our paths might cross again soon! Athina and Darcy xo

The elegance Katerina cruise was definitely one of our favorite trips. The crew was amazing! Our tour manager V was the absolute best, so funny, helpful , engaging and professional (we would seek another trip with the same people) ! We were a party of 10 from USA NY (we can be a lot ) and we met the nicest people from Australia, Canada , Great Britain. Our group of 36 forged nice friendships and great memories to last a lifetime !! This trip from Dubrovnik to Split was absolutely beautiful, the islands , swim stops , tours and care of the crew made this trip PERFECT! Huge shout out to V ,thank you for your humor ,knowledge , you made this trip !!!! Sail Croatia is fortunate to have you !!

Unique and intimate way to see Croatia

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

5 Star Holiday

The week on the Romantic Star was 5 Star all the way with an excellent, professional crew, outstanding service and delicious food. Every day was curated perfectly and Dino provided complete and helpful communication to provide us the optimal use of our time in each port. The swim stops were heaven. It seemed like every day was more beautiful than the day before. The ship is gorgeous and very well taken care of and clean. Captain Ivan runs a tight ship. Some opportunities for improvement. The crew smoked a lot and for the non-smoking guests, it was quite unbearable at times on such a small ship. Second, the swim stop toys need an upgrade. Two of the three float rafts were broken early in the week and not replaced. The snorkel masks are old and foggy. I even bought defogger and they still were unusable. For an elegant cruise, the equipment should be top notch. Thank you for a wonderful trip! I highly recommend and can’t wait to do it again!

Best Trip Ever!

We were a group of 5 couples from America. We had the best time! Vedran was the amazing! He was funny and so knowledgeable. He kept us updated on What’s app and made sure we knew so much about each stop. We had flight issues and he stayed up with us till midnight helping us on his laptop. I couldn’t imagine a better tour director. Our captain, Ivan was always around checking on us and we had so much fun with him at the captains dinner. My favorite part of the days were the swim stop. The deck was great at getting us in and out of the water safely. The hardest workers on the ship were Ivana and Carlo. They were always nearby with a drink or asking if there is anything we needed. Also Petra kept our rooms clean each day. This was definitely my favorite vacation and I will probably be back one day.

Amazing Adventure

Being able to sail on the Adriatic and see Croatia from that perspective was an absolutely amazing experience! The entire staff made us feel right at home from the very beginning! Vicko, our rep, was so knowledgeable and entertaining. The swim stops were spectacular, with the crystal clear turquoise water. The food was delicious and it was so much fun to get to know the other passengers and share meals and excursions with them. It was truly an amazing vacation - I’m ready to go back again!!

Amazing Experience with Katarina!

It was a new experience for us being on a yacht and exploring Croatia. The crew on the Katarina were outstanding in every way. They were attentive, professional, and fun! We highly recommend Sail Croatia to experience this beautiful country with a rich history and very kind people. The Katarina is the way to go!

One of our best holidays

From start to finish we had the most fabulous time. I cant fault a thing. Our ship Katarina was beautiful, the crew were amazing, the itinerary was perfect and our guide Vedran was brilliant. Everything about this experience was perfect. The food was beyond our expectations and our fellow travelers were a great bunch who made our cruise so much fun. We were so sad to leave and will be definitely booking again , thankyou Sail Croatia

Amazing Holiday

Amazing Holiday!!! The crew of the Katarina were wonderful! It was a great pace of travel. Morning swim stops never disappointed and were very relaxing. After lunch was explore time on the various islands. Our host, Vicko, always made sure that we were well informed of things to do including dining suggestions. When the majority of us asked to go to the Blue Caves and do other activities as a group, he made it happen. Can’t wait to do it again!!

Excellent week cruising the Adriatic with Sail Croatia

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

A brilliant holiday

From start to finish nothing was too much trouble for our tour guide & crew. The itinerary & a previous cruise with Sail Croatia made us return. What an experience. Our yacht was amazing. We enjoyed high quality food. Our tour guide was knowledgable and the tours enlightening. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Special thanks to Captain Ivan and his crew. For making our stay so enjoyable.. Ivana how do you remember everything !!!

The Best Cruise

This was one of the best holidays we have ever had and we have travelled a great deal. The cruise incorporated excursions and fit in plenty of relaxation time. Our daily swim stops were my favourite. Dino, our cruise director, provided us with all the information we needed and was such a character, making us all feel comfortable and relaxed. Dino was helpful and nothing was too hard for him to do or assist. The ship crew were fantastic. Our rooms were spotless, our food amazing and the girls who worked on the bar and serving were so polite and helpful. I can’t wait to do a cruise again!

It was an amazing adventure. Very relaxing. Boat was very comfortable. The island stops were great as well as the swim stops along the way. Would recommend to others.

Glorious swimming and sailing

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Was impressed with the Olimp: impeccably maintained, everything gleaming, spick-and-span, and the whole crew were friendly & helpful, and Vedran is a star organiser! Our lunches were all delicious. .The breakfast buffet was sufficient except for the "orange juice" which neither looked nor tasted as if it had been near a real orange. Breakfast was too short, and too early. Should last until at least 10am, Also I'd have liked the option to eat on the outside deck. When at sea who wants to be in an enclosed space.? The highlight of the trip was swimming. But I wanted more & longer swim stops. Most were only 1 hour - not enough to enjoy repeatedly jumping into that gorgeous turquoise sea! I'd have also appreciated more time actually sailing, not moored in a port. The expeditions were at the hottest time of day, so I mostly opted out and relaxed on the ship's cushions in the breeze - that upper deck lounging area was a perfect touch of luxury!

Jelena 14 Jun 2026

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

Cruising Croatia in comfort

We had an amazing week with our friends on board the Esperanza under the expert guidance of Dino. We met new friends, had great experiences and learned so much about Croatia from the guided walks. Dino was a fantastic tour manager suggesting places to visit and where to eat on our stops. The highlight for me was the walking tour in Zadar with Paula- she enriched our experience with the history of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the Captain’s dinner and the evening at the farm in Hvar, Many happy memories.

A perfect cruise

The booking advisers were very helpful and available to talk to on the phone and the process efficient. The cruise along the Dalmation Coast was relaxing and well planned, The boat was very clean, the crew fantastic and excellent meals were served at lunch time. The Cruise director kept us informed of the programme every day by briefings after lunch and information on the WhatsApp group. There was nothing I can fault about this holiday and would recommend it highly

Cruise comments

Our holiday was great, and our rep Vicko was very good . The boat was comfortable and clean,the food was excellent . My only complaint is that on Sunday we were thrown off one and a half hours. Before our airportbtransport arrived In a heat;of 33 and told to go to a cafe down the road which was closed and the seats wired up which with luggage is unacceptable. Caroline Cornell

Idyllic cruise

A wonderful combination of relaxation on deck with interesting town visits with guided tours. The boat, Esperanza, was perfect, cabins spacious and excellent facilities. The crew were friendly and very efficient and the chef provided top quality meals. A daily swim in the sea was much appreciated. Dino, our tour rep, kept us informed verbally and by text so we all knew the itinerary for the day. His English was good and he kept us laughing and happy! A great job! The only change would be to have a buffet lunch from 12.00 to 2.00 rather than a 3 course lunch at a set time. Also a bigger TV screen in the salon would help presentations which were very informative. We would certainly recommend Sail Croatia.

Unforgettable Experience

As I say unforgettable. From the Luxury of Yacht Olimp, our lovely friendly Captain and his team on board to the islands and destinations of Dubrovnik and Split. The swim stops were lovely and the food in board was excellent. We only had a few hours of daylight at each destination and I would have preferred dinner on board rather than a three course lunch. I would like to either get off the boat and swim or discover the islands more and do more walking. The only issue we had on board was the water heating system was intermittent and you didn’t know if you was going to get a hot or cold shower.

A brilliant holiday on Queen Jelena with an outstanding representative on board in the name of Vicko. Very comfortable cabin and good food. The crew were very polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend Sail Croatia.

Wonderful!

A week aboard the Queen Jelena exceeded my expectations in all areas: The ship was spotlessly clean and roomy, the food was five-star in taste, presentation and variety, and the Croatian vistas were dazzling. I met several warm, interesting people, and our guide, Vic, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I highly recommend a trip aboard the Queen Jelena!

Sensational Journey

One word: GREAT! From the moment we stepped into this beautiful yacht, it's HOLIDAY. All cabins were filled and the 36 people just mixed well with one another since day one. The yacht offers generous space for us to spread and enjoy either our private moments or sun bathing. Staff was excellent.

A cruise of a lifetime.

Elegance cruise. ESPERANZA No words can explain how wonderful this cruise was. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We travelled with 8 people and the boat only had 20 cruisers. It was like our own private cruise ship. I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE BAD REVIEWS!!!!!! DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. THEY ARE KAREN’S!!!!! FOOD: A+ ROOM A DIETARY RESTRICTIONS A+ BOAT CLEANLINESS A+ STAFF A+ DAILY SWIM STOPS A+ COMFORT A+ SUGGESTIONS: Bring a water bottle. They provide a water cooler for you to fill up your water. Bring water shoes if you want to go to the beach, because the beaches are pebbles no sand, and there are sea urchins. They do not provide lifejackets for the swim stops, If you’re not a good swimmer, I bought an inflatable one on Amazon that worked terrific for me to paddleboard. They do not provide blowup water toys so if you want to be floating out in the water, bring your own. Lots of people brought snorkelling gear

Beautiful personalised cruise

Sailing with Sail Croatia has been a wonderful experience for my husband and I, and our 2 travelling companions. The cabins are very comfortable, the facilities on Romantic Star are absolutely beautiful, from the comfortable Lounges on the spa deck, the seating on the back deck, the dining room and bar, there are many places to relax and take in the views. The Croatian coast is very beautiful, and each and every town is extremely well set up for tourists, plenty of cafes and restaurants. The Croatian people are very polite and helpful, and very eager to work and make the most of their six month tourism season. The entire experience was excellent.

Amazing Sail to Croatia Islands

10 out of 10! I was very impressed with this cruise. The boat Katarina was better than expected. The Crew was very friendly and accommodating.

Swim stops were beautiful. The room and food was better than expected. I would highly recommend this trip!
