Excellent experience all round

- John Harvey, 07/10/2026 07:16, Travelled Solo

Spectacular

Exceeded my expectations. I loved that the boat wasn't too big. The bike guides were top notch. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The bike rides were amazing.with spectacular views and the excursions were awesome

Great exercise, great experience.

I had a great time on my Sail Croatia bicycle cruise. The rides were all very doable on the e-bikes for all levels of riders. You can make it challenging and taxing or let the bike do most of the work and enjoy the scenery. Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and brought everyone together. The food was good and plentiful, and the boat was comfortable and clean. The rides allow you to visit and experience parts of the islands that you would never see on a standard cruise. From historical sites to out of the way cafes every day brought something new. I’m going to recommend this trip to all my friends, most of whom are seniors, as a must do.

11/10

This holiday was wonderful. The crew were fabulous and our tour guides were amazing. There was a fun and friendly vibe amongst everyone from the get go. Avica and Diego were so knowledgeable about each of the islands and so made the rides easy for everybody as well as suggesting and organising great outings and meal options for the evenings on the islands. The whole week was so well organised and nothing was too much trouble for either the crew or tour managers. This holiday was a great balance between activity, relaxation and sightseeing.

Mostly excellent

As a previous customer of Sail Croatia I knew I would enjoy myself and the company of an international gathering. It was enjoyable and the few changes were welcome. E Bikes were better but they should had wider tyres. Guides were very professional. Food was mostly very good. However, I thought that I would upgrade the boat that I had selected but I think this boat was the poorest I have been on in all four previous holidays. Rooms were small, decorations were beginning to feel very dated. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was good. Lounge areas were only adequate but outside spaces were only a little more generous, All Sail Croatia staff were good as were boat’s complement. Excellent Captain. The last day before arriving in Dubrovnik was a poor cycling day and I think that you need to find a more demanding and interesting ride. It really was disappointing In summery, better boat for Premium, more appropriate bikes, final day rethink. Thanks for running the trip.

Thank you for your 4-star review and for choosing to travel with us again. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the international group, found our guides professional, enjoyed the food overall and had such positive comments about the Captain and our team. We would like to clarify your comments regarding the ship category. Your booking was on our Premier ship category, rather than a higher-category ship. Premier is designed to offer a comfortable small-ship experience, but is not our highest category of accommodation. For guests looking for a higher standard of ship, accommodation and amenities, we offer our Luxury Cycle product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the ship, e-bikes and particularly the final day of cycling into Dubrovnik, and will ensure these comments are shared with the relevant teams as we continue to review the experience. Thank you again for returning to Sail Croatia. We’re pleased that overall you enjoyed another holiday with us and appreciate your 4-star rating.

Lovely Rides, Landscape, Food and Company

Ana and Borno, our guides, made the experience unforgettable. They put everyone at ease, provided practical and historical information, and made each ride fun. I was mesmerized by the views on the rides. The boat was modern and comfortable. The food was amazing. The entire crew was helpful, cordial and fun. The swim stops were a lot of fun and refreshing, especially after the rides.

Pure pleasure cruise and fun cycling !

I throughly enjoyed my cruise from Split return of the northern islands of Croatia. Last year I travelled the Southern islands from Dubrovnik to Split . It was so enjoyable I booked this years trip as soon as I came home I am also going to book again for 2027 The cycle tour guide was extremely good , knew routes exceptionally well and explained the route every morning in great detail . We also had a lady who cycled with us who had detailed local and historical knowledge of each location , village and town we visited The boat I was on was attractive , nice size cabin - great shower . A wardrobe and bedside cabinets . The crew were really helpful , we had lovely breakfasts and lunches every day . The captains evening dinner was great too . The boat had a bar and you could have drinks when you want If you want a relaxing cruise , with fun cycling , history and beautiful locations in Croatia - all thrown in together then I strongly recommend one of the trips Sail Croatia run .

Solo cycle from Split to Dubrovnik

Thanks to our amazing guides Ema and Tonka I had an amazing trip! The guides are friendly, professional, adaptable and also very knowledgeable! Perfect balance of cycling and leaning more about the history and culture of Croatia! The crew was also fantastic and made life aboard comfortable and enjoyable!

Just the best

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. The host or guides were so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Ivan and Mario made the trip something to remember for life.

- Stephen, 31/08/2026 18:28, Travelled Solo

Never Have I Ever!

My Croatia Sailing and Bicycling with Sail Croatia was over the top! The Princeza Diana was a marvel and worked with the limestone aesthetics of Croatia. Captain Mate and his Mates were not just sailors,, they assisted with the bikes and small special requests. The Cycling was pure perfection including the routes, the bikes and our guides. Special mention: Ivan guaranteed ease of ride by communicating daily routes and I must not forget Mario’s story time. One of the group’s favorites! “The Chef”s meals were a curated bonus! His meals Includied tuna steaks, silver fish, shrimp risotto and other Croatian specialties. I could hardly wait for that next meal. Sail Croatia did an outstanding job delivering an exciting vacation and I look forward to traveling with them in the future!

- Jennifer, 31/08/2026 02:01, Travelled Solo

Fabulous in every way

This trip far and away exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were excellent. The food was great, and the ship’s staff was very professional and organized. Can’t express enough how great the cruise directors were; Andro and Mario. They clearly brought together all the components of making this a successful trip with a high degree of professionalism, politely answered thousands of questions, clearly explained Croatian history with pride for the country, and used appropriately timed humor with guests; many good laughs! I’ve made many good friendships that I expect will last for years. Already looking ahead to my next Sail Croatia adventure.

- Dave, 24/08/2026 08:09, Travelled Solo

Fantastic Experience

I had a fantastic time on this cruise and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable and easy way to travel through Croatia. Everything was extremely well organised and professionally run which made the experience relaxed, enjoyable and a lot of fun. The guides were excellent and complemented each other perfectly Lucy with her knowledge of local history and culture and Ivan with directions and bike safety and their enthusiasm and personalities added to the great atmosphere. They were always available for questions or help and recommended fabulous extra excursions and local restaurants to try. There was genuinely nothing to fault. Everything ran smoothly and every member of the crew were professional, efficient and friendly. Swimming off the back of the boat was a real favourite and was organised whenever safe to do so. The meals included were sensational and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves.

- Sharon, 19/08/2026 07:48, Travelled Solo

Good food, good guide, accommodation clean and good. Weather a bit warm.

A perfect adventure/active trip

I signed up for this trip at the last minute and I am so glad I did. It was incredible in every way. Sailing on the Afrodita to all the islands was a truly special experience. If you strive on active and adventurous trips, this trip checks all the boxes, including not only biking and swimming but also enough free time to explore the islands as you want. The guides, Tonka and Natasha, were fabulous. They are knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful, always providing just enough direction but not too much. Since they are Croatians, I got a better sense of the country through them. The trip was extremely well orchestrated. For example, we might depart from one port on an island and then be met by the boat at another port. Never any hiccups, it was like magic! They also would adjust itinary based on weather or port conditions in a seamless way. Another nice thing is that dinners were on our own, so each night, we could do whatever we wanted for the evening.

- Dan, 03/07/2026 14:57, Travelled Solo

Lifetime experience

I was delighted on the service on the ship and quality of our tour guides Cal and Tonka. Due to potentially bad weather they worked with the captain to tour the south of the island instead of the north. As a bonus they took us to a stone sculpting school. They did extensive research on all our stops about things to see and the history of the area. They were always in tune with our needs and went above and beyond. The ship is in excellent condition, the bikes were like new. The food on the ship was delicious and plentiful. Quite often we said the ships food was better than some of the restaurants we visited. I'm looking forward to booking another holiday with Sail Croatia

- Greg, 02/07/2026 21:07, Travelled Solo

Excellent Trip

Just came back from a wonderful cycling trip. The crew was just excellent....very professional, helpful, organized and fun! The food on the boat was simply outstanding. Every day's itinerary was well organized, with enough rest stops during the daily rides. There was also enough time on each island to do your own exploring. I'm really glad I chose Sail Croatia. I have only positive things to say about them.

- Linda, 28/06/2026 16:30, Travelled Solo

Favorite holiday ever

I didn’t know what to expect and was a little concerned doing this trip as a solo but it turned out to be beyond fantastic. The only bad thing is that it ended! Calvin and Srdan were amazing guides. The crew was efficient and kind. I needed some extra early morning assistance to get my luggage off the boat for a very early uber ride to the airport, and Iono (?) quickly volunteered and made all my stress go away. The ship was very clean. The food was fantastic. The bikes were easy to use and well maintained. The rides were a fun mix of adventure and sightseeing. I was happy to use my e-bike assist on the longer rides, which made the experience so much pre enjoyable. The swims in the sea were delightful. I easily connected with the other passengers, and I now consider many of them friends. But most of all, it was Calum and Srdan who made the week so special. Thank you!! I hope to return and bring my loved ones with!!

- Teresa, 26/06/2026 11:55, Travelled Solo

Beyond all expectations

A to be repeated expectation of extraordinary landscape exercise and relaxation led by a wonderful group of integrated staff, guides Tonka and Callum and a much respected leader.... The Mali Luka Captain Ivan and his trainee. Thank you everyone. Georgie

- Georgie, 19/06/2026 06:33, Travelled Solo

Lovely Sail / Cycle Trip

The guides were great, very informative and knowledgeable throughout the trip. The food was good, and we had the opportunity to see many stunning places. Croatia is a truly beautiful country. One area for improvement would be the towel service, as towels were only changed once a week. I also felt that the recommended gratuity of €105 per guide was quite expensive. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, with plenty of beautiful sights and memorable moments.

- Anonymous, 15/06/2026 20:08, Travelled Solo

Great trip

Miran and Yossib were great. They quickly became friends as well as our guides. Each were very knowledgeable with all of the islands as well as the Biking adventure. I would recommend this trip to anyone. They definitely would need to be ready for a couple challenging bike rides.

- Scott, 15/06/2026 08:53, Travelled Solo

Croatia trip of a lifetime 2026🇨🇦🥰

It was amazing. The cyclist guides Miranda and Meredith were highly skilled, patient, professional, and a joy to spend time with. The crew made our trip a real pleasure. I can’t wait to share my experience with all my friends back home in Canada.🇨🇦

Exceptional Bike Boat Trip

The holiday was more than excellent. The boat was very clean and comfortable. The crew were exceptional being very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and our chef was great. Our tour managers Tonka and Lucija were wonderful. I really liked story time with history of Croatia etc. They regularly updated us on the group Whatsup. I was pleased I changed to an E-bike a month before leaving as there were some long hills to climb. We had a great very friendly group. I would def recommend this bike boat trip with Sail Croatia to anyone. I love Croatia.

- Peter, 08/06/2026 05:42, Travelled Solo

Can not recommend to friends

The biking was amazing. Our cabin and ship were ok. The food was not good.

Best Way to See the Islands!

Our trip could not have been better! The Princess Diana is a beautiful boat perfectly set up for navigating port to port and biking. Our cabin was comfortable with all the amenities needed though most of our time was spent in the salon, on deck, or biking. We cannot say enough about our tour guides Ivica and Ana. Safety of the riders was always top of mind. Ivica knows the islands intimately and he planned rides with stops for great photos, a swim and coffee or ice cream. Ana’s knowledge of the islands’ history is impressive and her clever antidotes and “myths” entertained us. Chef is a master and the food delicious. Tea and Danny were engaging and professional and took time to explain each dish. Especially memorable was the Captain’s Dinner! The Captain and crew were amazing, getting us to port on time and in a favorable location. We enjoyed watching the docking maneuvers…great team work! The ideal weather and our new biking friends made the entire week perfect.

A wonderful trip making memories with new friends

I travelled as a solo passenger but needn't have worried. From the offset it was the friendliest group of passengers, staff and crew i have ever met. The 2 Sail Croatia leaders, josko and Lauren , were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble, managing to change my picky carnivorous diet to a vegetarian one after 2 days. It was exactly the same with the crew of our boat, the "Dionis"- a very comfortable and ideally sized boat for the holiday- bigger boats around seemed too big and cold compared to the smaller boats. The excursions and cycle routes were absolutely ideal. Most of our 15 passengers opted for the E-bikes but 4 of us had the normal calf powered versions, which didn’t detract from the enjoyment. We had the chance to have a swim stop most days and after a chilly 10 minutes swim, the scorching onboard showers were a very pleasurable welcome experience. This was my first time as a solo traveller on a group trip but i now see it as the only way forward in future

Great holiday, great staff, great cycling

- Alison, 27/04/2026 15:46, Travelled Solo

Pleased

It really was a great trip, Marin and Mario were exceptional. They covered all the bases for having a safe and worry, free experience, very professional. Personally, I could’ve used a little bit longer routes to cycle and myself and a few others felt the last cycle stop was a little risky getting on and off the boat. I’m off to extend my journey and vacation, but I think that this part of it’s gonna be the best of everything overall Thanks, John.

- John, 29/09/2025 11:53, Travelled Solo

So Much Fun!

Our tour guides were Ana and Marin. Our guides were awesome – they knew so much of the history of Croatia and shared it freely. The food on the boat was OK. The breakfast buffet was really good; lunch was hit and miss but mostly good. Some people found the lunches not quite enough food if you are a big eater. Drink prices on the boat were really reasonable. Would ask that you recommend the e-bike option for everyone as there was a lot of waiting for the manual bikes as some of the hills on the islands are no joke. A water bottle holder would be nice on the bikes. Would recommend the cycling jersey be included in the package. It would be great advertising for you. To charge $70 for a cycling jersey after you have spent over $2000 USD seemed excessive. Loved that our captain Martin was very safety conscious even if it meant we didn’t always get a swim stop as the seas were too rough. Our bike guide Marin also was very safety conscious which was great to ensure we completed

- Anita, 10/09/2025 14:00, Travelled Solo

Super Cycle Tour

My second Sail Croatia holiday and just as good as the first. I chose the Split Northern Cycle Tour to explore some new places and more of some of the places I'd visited previously, It was a great trip with an excellent multi national bunch of people on board. We were well looked after and the rides were excellent, scenic, varied, interesting and challenging but do go for the e-bike option unless you are a serious bike rider!

- Peter, 22/07/2025 12:45, Travelled Solo

sail and cycle split south

good sociable week with like minded people. good mix of exercising and chilling. would of liked a couple of longer rides, maybe alternate days to mix it up. The boat was immacuateley kept and all the crew were very obliging. the guides Mirander and Martin were also very informative and helpful with any requests.

- Barry, 26/06/2025 18:16, Travelled Solo

Cycle Croatia Dub-Split

Our guides Dora and Matilda were fabulous! 8 days of fun, laughter, beautiful sights, history stories, and guided experiences. Would give them both 10 stars if I could ✨️

- Michelle, 25/06/2025 13:44, Travelled Solo

Superb, could not have been any better.

I was on the Afrodita Sail Croatia 2nd-9th June 2025. The trip was fabulous. Brilliantly stunning scenery every day, rides varied but always such fun. Wonderfully led by the excellent Ivan and Lucija they just made the whole experience so much more fun. Some lovely beach stops along the way and even on occasion some free time to ourselves on the bikes to explore. The food on board was plentiful and so tasty, loads of variety for breakfast and three course fine dining lunches each day, Andre the barman was brilliant too. And plenty of free time to explore each day.

- Veronica , 18/06/2025 17:32, Travelled Solo

Phenomenal experience!

The boat was well provisioned, comfortable, and clean. The crew was helpful, nice, and efficient. The bikes were great. The ports were peaceful, beautiful and inviting.

The tour leaders (Ivica and Mario) were great hosts, made sure we had a safe and interesting bike tour. The food was excellent, and the cycling on the different islands was fantastic. What a beautiful country ! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

- Terry , 16/06/2025 04:03, Travelled Solo

Caring guides, Marin is a great story teller and knows a lot about the history of Croatia.

It felt like I was with family whilst on the boat. I needed to go to hospital and was cared for brilliantly by Marin and Johnny. The cycling was fantastic getting to see so much of each Island.

- Leanne, 05/06/2025 20:43, Travelled Solo

Best way to see Croatian islands!

What an amazing experience - see more of the real Croatia away from tourist ports!. Our tour leaders were fantastic. Ivica was so knowledgeable about the islands and history and always very aware for our safety. Calhum and his tales and folklore of each town… and of course the best music choice! The whole crew - so attentive to all our needs. Azra and Ino cooked up amazing food and great desserts. Keno always had a smile as he welcomed us to breakfast and served up our drinks. The captain Mate and Ilya- excellent boatman and of course captain Mate’s boat was beautiful and well maintained. Very modern bathrooms with great hot water! My one word of VERY important advice - get the e-bike!!! Especially with loop! Can’t wait for the next one!

- Monika, 02/06/2025 13:35, Travelled Solo

Simply Magical

This was my first time on Sail Croatia cycling cruise, and it far exceeded anything I Imagined, The cycling routes were stunning, with breathtaking vistas. Immersed in the scent of lavender and rosemary along the way, and the olive groves lining the landscape.. What truly made the trip exceptional were the two cycling guides, Ivica and Anita. Their skill and attention to saftey helped me feel completely at ease. Ivica went beyond expectations with optional bonus rides and hikes. His deep knowledge of the area's routes and history added an unexpected layer of richness to the experience. Anita's warmth and knowledge of history and restaurant recommendations made them a great duo. The crew of the Mall Ante were warm, attentive and made us feel completely taken care of. I felt like part of the family. I already have reccomended Sail Croatia and I just got back two days ago. Thank you to everyone who made my solo trip the first of many cycling trips to come.

- Marianne, 22/05/2025 03:47, Travelled Solo

Fabulous week making great friends

The boat “ Mali Anti “ was more comfortable and larger than I expected. My cabin was large with wardrobe and cupboard space again more than I am used to on smaller boats . The shower and bathroom was clean and functional . The Crew were always around to help , immaculate in serving us and attending all our needs . The food was enjoyable and plenty bearing in mind we were cycling every day . I met many new friends and had a fun time which was again above my expectations. The crew who took us on our cycle trips , Ivica and Anita were brilliant. Helped us all from flat tyres repair , advice on restaurants, bars.interesting stories of the history of all the locations and islands they took us to . They made us safe and looked after us making the whole week just perfect The islands were stunning , cycling through beautiful villages , vineyards and deserved coffee stops meant I had such a fabulous holiday I am back home for 2 days and have booked again for next year!

- Alison, 21/05/2025 19:07, Travelled Solo

Boat - Bike - Food

Three reasons to go. Boat: Gorgeous comfy boat and cabin with such beautiful wood work with lots of places for the guests to spread out and relax. Bike: Awesome bike riding through all terrain with a close up view of each island. I am not a big bike rider but an relatively fit so found the rides enjoyably challenging. Never felt rushed. Ebikers went ahead and classic bikes hung back and paced themselves. And the food! Being a vegetarian I did not want to get my hopes up but boy did they impress me. Incredibly well prepared food. And with all the biking I had an appetite that was well satisfied. And consider yourself blessed if you get Ivan and Marin as your guides. Those guys took such good care of everyone - especially me being the only solo guest. And Marvin's historical briefings for each island was something I looked forward to each day! Thanks for the lifetime memories!

- Sandy, 21/05/2025 16:49, Travelled Solo

Best holiday experience!!!

The combination of cruising, cycling and exploring the islands along the southern Dalmatia was perfect. The experienced guides were the best! Thank you Jošco and Ana. The captain and his crew were always helpful and accommodating. The chef's dishes were always tasty. I will Sail Croatia and cycle again!

- Frederick , 07/05/2025 14:52, Travelled Solo

Great Experience - Would Recommend

I travelled solo, on the Emanuel boat on the Cycling cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Cycling was a great way to see the different islands of Croatia. The guides (Ana and Josko) knew the area really well, and organised a fun ride on each island with beautiful views. The e-bike allowed me to sweat or relax as much as I wanted. There were 3 people who got a regular bike (no e-assist) but they were pretty serious cyclists. I'd recommend an e-bike unless you want a difficult bike ride on your holiday. I appreciated the daily stops for swimming off the boat too! I really enjoyed the schedule of breakfast and lunch on the boat - With a 2-3 hour cycle in between. And then you get your own free time to explore an island after lunch. Great way to explore, relax, eat local, and experience each island. As a solo traveler, I paid a 50% extra to have my own room. It's worth it for me, but to each their own. I'd highly recommend this cruise, and hope I get to go again soon!!

- Andrew, 05/05/2025 12:34, Travelled Solo

Absolutely Brilliant Holiday!

This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!

Superb holiday in beautiful location

A comfortable ship crewed by an exceptional team and hosted by lovely knowledgeable hosts. The itinerary with cycling included was and varied and just the right distance and the information provided by our hosts prior to and during the rides was relevant, helpful and interesting. Although we had weather interruptions towards the end of he week, our crew and host did all they could to ensure we still had a fulfilling trip. The food was superb and plentiful prepared by an excellent chef who was a wonderful character and served by a most well mannered and delightful waiter who kept a clean and tidy salon. All crew were friendly, helpful and for whom nothing was any trouble. These are great holidays for meeting and spending time with new people who become friends. This is the second time I have taken a holiday with Sail Croatia and have loved both trips. I would book again in a heart beat if there was an itinerary that gave greater variation from the two trips I have now done.

Memorizable Unique Journey in Croatia Coast

Our yacht is well maintained, modern, clean and spacious. Hosts, Crews, and guides are friendly polite and knowledgeable. Meals are delicious. Croatia coast sea is calm. Sleep in the yacht is pleasant. No worries for sea sickness. Every night in different towns, different beaches without packing, unpacking and bus around. A truly must have experience.

- KC, 10/09/2024 10:01, Travelled Solo

A beautiful way to see the islands!

Most tourists to the Dalmatian islands most likely never make it past the coast and beaches. Yes, that area is stunning on most every island. But… seeing the interior of the island is equally as beautiful. Stone farmhouses nestled among vineyards and olive trees. Churches, Everyday life for the inhabitants. I am so glad I had the opportunity. But I won’t kid you… while it is beautiful, the hills are challenging! I was not prepared for how hard a 20 mile ride would be! Make sure you reserve an e-bike if you are the least bit uncertain. I would do this tour again. Absolutely. The crew was wonderful, the guides caring and amazing, the food on ship was great, and the ports we visited were everything and more than I expected. Totally worth it and I was sad when it was time to disembark the ship. : (

An Outstanding Adventure

The 8-day sail and cycle cruise was excellent from beginning to end. All information communication, both on the website and in person, was clear and informative. Our guides, crew, and chef were friendly, fun, and helpful. The food was delicious. For breakfast, we had a great choice of food, and lunch and/or dinner were three courses. The bikes were well-maintained and great to ride. The riding was mostly on the road, with a guide in front and back. The guides were very experienced and safety conscious and made the experience personal. Hope to be returning to do another.

Incredible Boating / Cycling Tour

I had an incredible experience on the Emanuel ship during the Split to Dubrovnik cycle tour. The crew were top notch - always willing to answer the many questions the guests had, Very courteous and patient. We were treated so well and we were fed delicious food. The cycling portion was so fun. Our Lead Representative and Bike Tour leader, Dora, was excellent at providing information to us throughout the day regarding the bike routes, the timing of various stops along the way, and other useful information. Her local knowledge was particularly helpful when we were in the various ports. She kept us up to date on any schedule changes so that we were always in the know. Andro was our other Representative and Bike Tour Sub-leader and he was very knowledgeable about Croatian history, sharing information about each island we visited. He was always willing to answer questions from the group and help in any way he could. The boat was very comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend.

This was my second leg of a 2 week trip. First of all, I can't thank Captain Ivan for a superb trip! He was very prompt and got us to our destinations with time to spare. The bikes were on and off the boat in 5 minutes and he got the best docking spots! Ivika and Marija were a great team. Every morning, Ivica did a briefing with an interactive map and his #1 concern was that we all were safe and together. The both made sure we saw everything that there was too see! Beyond fabulous! The food was fresh and delicious and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Olga & Paula were very attentive to all the guests and went out of their way to satisfy everyone's needs. The rooms were spacious and spotless. In conclusion, this crew was including guides were an outstanding team and I am doing this again next year for 2 weeks!

Swim, cycle, sail

Rare, exotic locations in a very nice, stable boat. Lots of tasty food and a very kind and helpful crew on board.

Amazing

The crew on the Mali Luka were the the most gracious bunch of folks. They all worked so hard to make our trip enjoyable and fun! Dora and Anita were our guides. They kept us safe and together. Everywhere we visited on the bikes or by foot, they have us a bit of history about the region. The captain Ivan was a very capable and friendly guy. He got us everywhere we needed to be and was always on time. Olga and Paula were the most hardworking, friendly and courteous woman always ready to help you out with anything you needed. The rides everyday were safe and fun with some elevation. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a little adventure! I'm doing 2 weeks and it's been fantastic

It was very pleasant group of people and great crew, Super friendly guides who made whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. Miranda and Lucija are fantastic team and very capable of handling any requests with such an ease. I would love to sail or tour with them again and would recommend this tour.

Beautiful Trip

Great trip and experience and unique way to see all that Croatia and the Islands offer. The food onboard was generous and fresh and satisfying. The routes were gorgeous with views you can't beat. Pros- Kind and knowledgeable guides, beautiful routes, plentiful food Cons- the room was not clean with belongings left in the cabinets from other passengers (staff?). There was a horrendous smell of sewage that made the toilet/shower in the room difficult to use. I've sailed on boats in the past and never experienced an odor like that in the past. There was hair left on the floors in the room and bathroom. Time at night on the islands was limited as one night they said we would be docked too far back which kept us from access to the main port (well over 1 mi walk over rocky and dark terrain). Changed itinerary due to weather prevented advertised bay swims and less time to enjoy ports. I often felt we has a short time to see sights (less than 30 minutes most days).

Hi Leslie, thank you for taking the time to review us and provide your feedback. It is great to hear you have enjoyed yourself, that you found our itinerary gorgeous and have enjoyed the scenic views on offer. Thank you for your kind comments on our experienced guides and the food provided onboard- it's not easy producing great meals for so many people with a limited kitchen but the chefs manage to do that - heroes! We are sorry to hear you experienced issues with the smell in the bathroom. At times if there is bad weather, smell can occur in the bathroom emitting from the shower drains. This is very specific with small ship cruising and it is due to the movement of the ships on the water whereby this movement opens up airflow at the back of the pipe and into the bathroom. This is addressed in the Welcome Speech by the Sail Croatia Representative on board. I have checked our records, and cannot see any reports raised regarding any cleanliness issues. If we were made aware, these would have been rectified immediately. I understand it can be frustrating when there are changes to an itinerary, however this is at the Captain's discretion and usually due to safety reasons, which is our number one priority. Thank you again for joining us and we can't wait to see you with us again!

Superb holiday

Friendly and well organised hosts, efficient and helpful crew, comfortable and spacious ship, great food (but lunches a bit too big). Great itinerary with visits to a variety of locations, but would be happy for cycling routes to be a bit longer. Great bunch of fellow holiday makers who made to holiday all the more enjoyable.

- Steve, 18/09/2023 23:14, Travelled Solo

Great Crew!

The cycling guide Marin, and tour host Lola, worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful visit. Marin lead us on fun cycling tours of islands, and he was very mindful of our safety. Both Marin and Lola shared information about the history, culture and sites at each island, including recommendations for wonderful restaurants. The captain and crew of the Emmanuel also took great care of us.

The people are what make this so memorable

I had such a great time on the Mali Ante with guides Miranda and Josko. From the first minute of arrival they both worked to ensure the entire group was having a good time, and understanding the timeline for activities. Miranda and Josko brought great energy and humor to the entire trip that the whole group appreciated. Even when the weather was unpredictable, Miranda and Josko had alternative plans in place to ensure our time in Croatia was balanced with adventurous outings and beautiful scenic time to relax. They also provided interesting historical context to each island we visited by briefing us before and during our outings so we truly left with a better understanding of this amazing country of Croatia. Sail Croatia provides a great vacation on the Adriatic, but Miranda and Josko go above and beyond to provide an exceptional memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

Best way to see Croatia!

The 7 day cycle cruise was the best way to experience the real Croatia. Being able to choose the e-bike option allowed me to relax to the fullest in the hot summer heat and enjoy the fabulous smells of Croatian islands. Smelling the native rosemary fields and the sulfur from the vineyards was unlike anything I’ve experienced on my rides before. The guides were knowledgeable and gave historical context of the islands we traveled. It was a great balance of busy nightlife islands and chill and relaxed islands once frequented by the aristocracy. As a solo traveler it was a good way to safely see the country (though Croatia is far from dangerous) while meeting like-minded folks. Great job Mali Ante guides and crew! I will definitely consider another route next summer and convince friends to join!! Great value for your money all around!

- Melissa , 07/07/2023 14:58, Travelled Solo

Cycle cruise - Best travel experience I’ve had!!

I had the best week on the Mali Ante enjoying 7 days cruising from Split to Dubrovnik. The tour is extremely well planned from every aspect. The e-bikes were fantastic and easy to operate, the cycling routes were varied interesting and with spectacular scenery, there was time fi swimming, relaxing and sightseeing too. Meals on the boat were amazing - really fresh, plentiful and tasty lunches, breakfasts and some dinners also included. My cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable. The crew were really professional, kind and committed to ensuring everyone had a great time. Our tour guides Miranda and Mila were exceptional. Both were so engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of fun and humour. Mila’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Croatian history was really impressive and she delivered the information in the most engaging and interesting way. Our group was a lot of fun to travel with - couples, groups and solos from Australia, Canada, USA & the UK.

Excellent trip, highly recommend!

I had a great time on this trip. The crew and the guides did everything under their control to ensure everyone had fun, was safe, and was taken on care of. Each and every stop was a beautiful location. The bikes rides were gorgeous. I would strongly recommend getting an e-bike unless you enjoy hill climbing and are good at it. Some of the hills were killer but the views at the stop were spectacular and well worth the effort. Croatia is a beautiful country and the people were welcoming. I would highly recommend a cycle and sail trip with Sail Croatia!

As Good as It Gets

I had such a great time on the trip with Sail Croatia. From the boat and how well kept it was to the delicious food to the fantastic itinerary - hard to even know where to begin. But what really made it such a great experience was the guides - shoutout to Marin and Ivan - who both took great pains to ensure we were having a good time and they never failed to answer questions or accommodate requests. I can not recommend Sail Croatia's cycle and sail trip enough! Its a great experience!

A truly memorable experience

The crew and people on the boat were lovely . I guess it can work either way when you are spending so long long in a boat with people but I was lucky . The tour guide was very friendly and inclusive and knowledgable and I was secretly a bit love struck by his intelligence and beauty! The activity leader was supportive of my inexperience on a bike and a lovely bloke . The food was plentiful ,tasty and I believe the cook presented us with regional dishes at times.. The boat was beautifully crafted . Had a simple authentic crafted look - not too modern or flashy . The bike riding was liberating , magical and I saw so so much wonderful scenery . The islands and towns are beautiful . I had an e-bike so at the age of 63 I still had the joy of riding without the feeling of being out of my comfort zone . A truly memorable experience . Hvala

Great tour of Dalmatia in just a week

The best way to explore Dalmatian coast is to sail between islands. Great meals served on board, great relaxed vibe and company of guides. A lot can be seen on each island cycling from point A to B, often with boat waiting at point B. Great evenings with good local wine and food. I loved that, meet some great people on this trip, got a lot of invites too. Very keen to try other routes with Sail Croatia!

Sail/cycle review

The islands of Croatia were spectacular and the cycling while cruising on a boat gave me the perfect chance to explore them. Our guides Ivan and Mila were great. One had great knowledge of the local history while the other was one of the best lead cycle guides I've ever had.

The holiday was a perfect mix between cycling & relaxing. The guides, Mila & Ivan, were very knowledgable about the areas we visited, and were super helpful throughout the whole trip. The boat crew were lovely too. I would definitely recommend the trip, and would not hesitate to do it again.

- Deb, 13/09/2022 13:06, Travelled Solo

Brilliant trip

Cruising and cycling must be the best way to see the Croatian islands. Made even better by my fellow shipmates, guides and crew. Cycling on a classic hybrid bike was very tough on a couple of days, with long 'Tour de France' type climbs. Unless you're used to such climbs and in good shape, opt for an e-bike (even though it's cheating!!). Food and accommodation were good, Ports stopped at were wonderful and varied with amazing restaurant options (especially Korcula, which is unmissable)

Cudos to them! They made the trip memorable There wasn’t as much cycling as I had thought there would be, but with the high temps this week it was fine as it was. We did get shorted one day because the boat had to move earlier than planned. The food was good! Breakfasts perfect combination. Lunches too heavy for this activity. Captains dinner was great!

Bike Croatia is a fantastic holiday

The trip in May 2022 was fantastic. The ship is great, the meals wonderful, the biking was interesting and neither overchallenging or underchallenging. The island sites for riding were beautiful and the roads used were mostly without cars. For our bike holiday from May 21 to 28, 2022m the weather was terrific. We had one high wind crossing but mostly flat calm seas. The people in our bike group were lovely, kind and mutually supportive. I would recommend Sail Croatia for others to consider if you want to have an active holiday in Croatia, a very beautiful country.

Mostly Great Trip

Staff on board is A+++, and the food, was exceptional, along with the wine choices. The rooms are quite nice, and the envy of other cruises we met along the way. I would suggest for a group of 24 cyclists, that 2 guides are not enough. Plus on a short incline to reach a busy road, we should have pushed our bikes up. Instead, many cyclists fell back, and pushed me into the bramble. Serious injury had i landed on the road rather than the bushes!!! Xrays to come shortly.

In comparison

The boat. Outdated, cramped, badly ventilated in the downstairs cabin. Cupboard space inadequate for two people as there was no shelving. Dining room space just coped. Crockery inadequate with just one cup per person and some had chips out. Insufficient glasses for morning juice. Breakfast was a race as there limited yogurts, fruit drinks, poor choice of cereal, very poor coffee, real milk not always available. Main leader was disorganised speaking before all holiday members were there so it became. Chinese’s whispers to find information. Meeting times announced were not kept to by leader and he would start early. Boat left port before announced times. I could go on.

Cruise and Cycling Trip Around the Islands of Croatia

Just finished a cruise and cycle holiday from Split visiting several islands off the mainland on board Ocean boat. This is a great way to see the lovely islands by bike. The group on board got on really well and was made up of guests from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and England totalling 31 in number. The boat was ideal for this type of trip and the whole crew did a great job looking after us. The chef was a character and cooked up some wholesome Croatia cuisine. The organisation of the rides was first class as was the quality of bike. Even the less-fit were able to use eBikes so even the steepest of climbs (up to around 300-500m from sea level) meant that the whole group could participate on the rides. I travelled solo but this is an activity holiday and everybody got on so well during the whole week. There was never a dull moment.

Relax without ever standing still!

I was looking for a holiday that rested my mind, but not my body, in a beautiful setting, with like-minded folk. The cycling cruise far exceeded my expectations on all counts and I haven't been able to stop talking about it since I returned home - all my friends and family have been sent the Sail Croatia website to browse through! So this won't be my last activity cruise. I'm delighted that Sail Croatia host different routes and different excursions, with knowledgeable guides, fantastic crew (including my favourite crew member - the cook!), well looked after ships and work to a flexible schedule to accommodate weather and port authority directives.

Croatia Bike and Boat

The staff were very accommodating, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. There was humour interjected that made our time together pleasant. We had a great mix of people on the trip and we all got along. Croatia is a beautiful country. Thank you

Wonderful trip

A really great vacation.!!! A perfect way to see the islands and beautiful scenery in Croatia. The rooms very comfortable, clean, and spacious with a very large functional bathroom. The itinerary was great and well paced with plenty of time on shore to enjoy the villages as well as time for the cycle trip and swimming. Really a perfect trip!

Cruise and cycling

The crue were excellent and the group we were sailing with was wonderful. I did enjoy it. Maybe you can include all the meals.

Mr. B

Everything was very well organized, the captain and staff on board was great, the food was imaginative, the boat was top class, the bikes were comfortable and the guides were excellent. They even threw in good weather. A very pleasant and memorable experience overall.

Beautiful Croatia

I have been on several cycling holidays but what attracted me to this one was the combination of cycling and sailing. Everywhere you went in Croatia there were stunning views and although the cycling was quite challenging at times it was well worth it to see yet more stunning views at the top of a climb. The guides were great fun and the staff on board were fantastic. Food was 1st class and the remaining cyclists were a great bunch. If I was to make one criticism, and I am reluctant to do so it would be that the organisation of the rides could have been better. I felt that there should have been three staff on each ride one at the front.who nobody should pass,one in the middle to wait by junctions to show people which way to go and one at the back to bring in the taill enders. This is no reflection on the tour leaders who were all excellent. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone and I intend doing the Southern Route next year, Thanks for a fabulous holiday.

Great week - I want to go again!

Booking experience - easy, the london office were really helpful, answered my many many questions and helped me when I messed up payment. The boat - The crew on the boat were great - friendly, helpful, really hard working and the food was amazing. I am in amazed of how good the food was from such a small kitchen for a large quantity of people. The cycling - well the ebike is the best thing in the whole wide world and turned me from a non cycling person into a 'whens the next ride?' person! The hills are immense and I wouldnt have been able to manage without the extra help but I really enjoyed it. Only possible negative was sometimes a little bit more interaction with the cycle guide would have been better but I think some of the negative was a language barrier thing. All in all an outstanding week, lots of new friends and I cant wait to go back again. Would thoroughly recommend.

Tean Canada goes to sea

Small cruise was a great way to meet new people. Cameraderie was excellent. Guides were wonderful people, super friendly. And why not?

Challenging and fun

A really great bunch on the boat, great cycling in a beautiful country. Well organised and unexpectedly good food on the boat. What is not to like? Just relax and enjoy the undulations........ I will be back for the northern route.

Sail/Cycle Northern Coastal Route

Everything!! The crew of the Milena looked after us very well...cleanliness, information, adjusting the schedule, meals, all fantastic. Our cycling guide Damir was knowledgeable in the routes we were to ride, took into consideration the ability of the group as whole and made sure we were all safe and happy on our travels. The group of us as travelers also became a cohesive friendly lot in a very short time. The star of course was Ana, I truly believe she was the nucleus of the group that pulled us all together. This vibrant young lady shared history, stories and insight of this area of Croatia with us. Fabulous trip, I've already recommended Croatia as a destination and Sail Croatia as an excellent company to book a vacation with.

A dream come true

My dream was to not only travel through Croatia, but to experience the country and culture. The Sail Croatia cycling tour offered me this wonderful opportunity. It was indeed a dream come true and that whilst being active and feeling so "alive"!!! A wonderful experience altogether, with an amazing crew on the Marija Magdalena and stunning guides Mia and Miranda. We had a wonderful group of people on this tour! Wonderful food, kind people, breathtaking scenery!!!

Brilliant Week

I can honestly say, it was one of the best experiences of my life. The boat and crew were fantastic, the food was exceptional and the guides were the highlight of my trip.I would gladly do the trip again any day and I do recommend the trip to all my friends and anyone who might be interested in doing such an adventure holiday. Great value for money.

Best experience after 2 months traveling Europe

Such a great and hospitable crew who made every effort to make sure guests were taken care of. Great diversity in crowd and very knowledgeable guide. I don\'t typically write reviews but sail and cycle is a MUST!

Fantastic cycling across beautiful islands

The routes were beautiful and being so well led made them very relaxing. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I had finished because there was a lot of climbing. Our guides Miranda and Ana were so lovely and friendly they made it great fun and created a happy at,osphere together. I particularly enjoyed the company because I came on my own and that worked out very well. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the food. It was not good. More fresh produce would have been better particularly local fish. The food was never hot, sometimes downright cold. The lasagne was dry, cold and tasteless. One day the salad was just pickles not fresh stuff. Sometimes the bread was dry. The desserts we sometimes made wIth packet mixes. There was an issue with the fridge - it would not stay closed - the people in the cabin next to it were constantly woken by it beeping. One day the yoghurts were frozen, another warm. This is a food safety issue! The coffee machine did not work so no coffee
