A Wonderful Relaxing Experience!

Miranda, Tonka, Ivica x 2, Ilija, Ivan, Miro, Mate. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We had the most interaction with our guides Miranda and Tonka and with our server Miro...they were so wonderful. There was nothing they would not do for us...rolled with the punches...gave us everything we needed...and more! The cabins were a good size, lots of storage and lots of hot water. The itinerary was perfect and we got to see lots of places both on and on the bikes. We had some travel problems but not one issue while on the cruise. Loved it!

An Amazing Vacation

I loved Ivice (our ride leader) and Anita (the sweep/story teller extraordinaire). Ivice made every ride fun and kept an eye on each one of us to make sure we stayed safe! The rides were beautiful and the terrain provided a great workout. When the weather looked iffy, Ivice and the captain came up with an alternate plan that was also fun and rewarding. The e-bikes were terrific; powerful yet easy to use! Anita always brought interesting stories each day and planned some really fun activities for the evening. Since I have been back I have raved about both of these people and recommended the trip to a number of people. I apologize for the delay in submitting this review but I did not return to the states for 34 days. Both of these people are true assets to your company and I can’t say enough good things about each of them! Thank you for a fabulous vacation and please let them know how much we loved being on vacation with them!! With deep affection, Ginnie Daine

Location, location, and people

Our group of six experienced an amazing week of beautiful scenery and wonderful people. We had 26 other tourists from six countries, and we all enjoyed each other's company. The tour guides -- Miranda and Tonka -- made it all happen. From the start, they encouraged mingling. They challenged us with the rides, and they engaged us with their stories. Super memorable trip. Pomalo!

Great Trip

We had a great time. Was a bit disappointed with our cabin as it was below deck, but we should have booked way in advance to get an above deck one. The staff were fabulous Ivan and Lucija were lovely and helped everyone on board if they had any issues. Will certainly recommend this trip to friends.

Wonderful Guides

Our guides Miranda and Tonia were the best! They were encouraging and helpful and knowledgeable! The boat was nice however I might mention a few things they could improve. Be more transparent about pricing of drinks. Choices of breakfast food could be better. Like more fruit and better toaster. Squeegee for showers to help with humidity in the rooms. Better WiFi in rooms. The ports were amazing and captain was great at parking the boat! I love Croatia and the people who live there are friendly and kind! We will be back!

Fantastic Cycling Cruise

Ivice and Anita did a fantastic job planning our cycling activities, telling us about the various towns and their highlights, and providing considerable assistance with restaurants, additional experiences, and answering innumerable questions. They were SO customer focused and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The ship's crew was similarly helpful - from Captain Ivan's thoughtful route updates to keep us in good weather to Paola's friendly service in the galley/bar and Olga's attention to detail in keeping our cabins clean and comfy. The meals were tasty and nutritious, and the e-bikes were new and very effective at assisting us up the sometimes steep inclines. This was a great way to see the Croatian islands - highly recommend!

Best Vacation Ever!

Not only was the location - scenery, natural beauty, food etc. - memorable, the way the biking tours were planned and the exceptional guides - Ivica and Anita - were a major part of this amazing trip. I can’t say enough about the friendliness and the warmth both demonstrated. It’s line all of us made new friends. They were an integral part of the fun we had. I wouldn’t mind doing the trip over again but only with these 2.

Fantastic 7 Days

Our cruise was soooo much fun! Our hosts Ivica and Anita were the best, and I miss them. It was hard to leave. They did a superb job of planning, leading, nurturing, creating a fun and caring atmosphere. We were traveling as a group of 16 who already knew each other. The combination of the wonderful boat with a room of our own, and the energetic excursions to see the countryside made this the best vacation we have ever taken. I'm telling my friends and family that they just HAVE to do it. - Susan

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!

Exceeded my adventure touring expectations!

We did the Southern Split Sail and Cycle tour and it was absolutely amazing! I took the classic bike and there was no shortage of great cycling. ....if you are into climbing and zipping down hills and taking in breathtaking scenery along coastlines. I felt a wonderful sense of accomplishment and Ilivica and Anita, our tour guides, made sure the classic bike riders were well-accommodated along with the larger group of e-biker riders. They also provided wonderful recommendations of things to do and places to eat while island hopping. I would highly recommend this cycling tour to any active-minded person wishing to explore the Croatian islands. Great fun!

- Anna, 14/10/2024 14:21, Travelled with Friend/s

Bikes and boats - the perfect combination.

Cycling is a fantastic way to see the beautiful scenery of the Croatian coast and islands. E-bikes make it easy and being based on a boat means you don't have to re-pack every night. The crew were fantastic; cheerful and helpful at all times. Our fellow passengers were also great - I guess self selecting for an activity based trip. Our cabin was small but clean and comfortable - with a bit of engine noise in the bottom of the boat. Food on the boat was plentiful and fresh, if a little basic. We loved the trip and are trying to decide which route to do next.

Sail Croatia Bike Cruise

On board crew were outstanding, nothing was a problem, they delivered a very thorough and professional service and looked after us very well :) Andre and Lola were amazing and provided us with some great riding routes and shared their local knowledge with us. Our cruising group were also amazing and compatible which made trip even more enjoyable. Boat was comfortable and very clean. Definitely recommend this cruising option to see sites of Croatia.

Your bucket list to tick off - Sail Cycle Croatia! 😊

Put Sail-Cycle Croatia on your must do bucket list. One of the best holidays imagineable if you enjoy stunning aquamarine water, breathtaking island scenery and great food & wine... with some exercise (ebiking) adventures thrown in. The Sail Croatia crew were friendly & attentive to everyones needs. Our 2 tour guides (Dora & Lucia) were simply brilliant - professional, informative and humourous. Do yourself a favour - book a Sail-Cycle Croatia tour for some unforgetable experiences.🌞✨️❤️ Dugald & Julie

An amazing adventure!

Our tour hosts Ivan and Lucija were wonderful hard working guides. Thanks. Lucy and the rest of the kitchen staff were amazing. Thanks. The ship, crew and captain were amazing. Thanks. To be at a beautiful Croatian port, on the Adriatic sea in the morning and not allowed to have any type of coffee on the ship till 7:30 is a sad fact.

- Rob, 09/10/2024 16:36, Travelled with Friend/s

So much fun!

The trip was exactly what I was hoping for! Very well organized; Ivan and Lucija looked after every detail, always with smiles and laughs. Croatia is beautiful and the roads we were cycling on were not too busy. We had the perfect amount of down time, time for swimming in the clear blue Adriatic Sea, time for exploring each island and time to get to know the other passengers. Thank you!

Croatia bike trip

It was such a great group of people on this trip. We met people from all over the world. The boat and bike trip was fantastic. Ivan and Lucy were great guides. I really can’t say enough about them. Thank you both for educating us on the different cultures we had the privilege of experiencing. We were fortunate to have such a great crew. I will never forget this trip. Thank you all for such great memories.

Sail & Bike Island hopping

A great adventure with a great on board crew and cycle leaders. Cycling was challenging and scenery was fantastic. A couple of small things that could have made the trip even better. Cabins - they are small as expected and it would have helped to have lots of hooks on the walls to hang clothing on. Shower curtains were too short which meant there was water all over the bathroom floor after showering. Biking - My wife's bike broke down twice and there did not seem to be a good backup plan in place for replacement or repair while out cycling. The group was split up once and half the group went the wrong direction at an intersection. Still a great trip and it deserves a 5 star rating.

Passenger

The whole operation was so well organized and all of the staff were excellent and accommodating. Curtis who got me started on the booking was super responsive which is rare anymore. Lucia and Ivan were our guides and they were so informative, kind and made it so fun they were exceptional. Lucia the bartender, salon staff was so patient and always had a smile. I can’t say enough about the staff that you employ and experience that was created for all of us. Thank you!

Amazing!

This adventure was by far the best that we have done to date! The Captain and crew of the Eos, were incredibly professional and made sure that our travel and docking situations were very safe! Our guides, Ivan and Lucija were so much fun and arranged for some wonderful extras on this trip as well as ensuring our safety on the road and off. Lucija shared her knowlwdge about the history and culture of several of the areas we visited. through many stories and facts. A very enjoyable trip!!

Fantastic Experience!!

Sail Croatia exceeded my expectations for a fun, relaxing, engaging and all around great experience in the Dalmatian islands. The crew was exceptional and attentive, serving up scenic bike tours, a ship with comfortable & clean accommodations, delicious meals, excellent restaurant & wine tasting suggestions, and a lighthearted atmosphere to make new friends with the other guests. The e-bikes were in mint condition and our guide, Marin, made sure the rides were scenic, fun, safe and added historical background for those interested. Our tour coordinator, Mila, was a delight, attentive to our needs and had great local knowledge & contacts. I couldn’t offer a higher recommendation for this trip!!

- Vicki, 07/10/2024 17:45, Travelled with Friend/s

Beautiful Croatia

Marvellous way to see Croatia started in Dubrovnik and finished in split lovely riding on the bikes through the islands. I’m really enjoyed the swimming. The staff on the boats were very helpful and very informative. Would recommend the holiday to my friends.

Croatia September 2024

The other cyclists on board made this holiday so much fun. They were all so friendly and easy going. All with a sense of adventure and fun. Having never visited Croatia before I was blown away by its beauty. A truly amazing holiday. I will definitely be back.

Another fabulous trip

After our Sail Croatia trip in 2023 I didn’t think this year’s could be any better. I was wrong!! The level of experience of Marin our lead on our bike rides and Ilona as our “caboose” made for a very well thought out, informative, safe and enjoyable day. The information shared was interesting and I felt that I gained an understanding of Croatian culture and history. Ilona planned dinners and excursion to a winery. Great that the places she chose were able to accommodate separate checks. Dinner and dessert recommendations were spot on. We took her up on a few.. Mario (aka Super Mario) welcomed us as repeat visitors as did our amazing Manager Ivan. It was a pleasure to meet his son Ilija, another great addition to the team. Our ship’s captain and our chef both shared the same name Ivica. Our captain was terrific and I felt confident that our safety was a priority, Chef- no words-only praise. His assistant Mate? did great too! The meals were the culinary highlight of our trip.

Perfect trip in every way!

What an amazing trip! From the time I woke up, till the time I went to bed I was having so much fun! Staff of Afrodita was wonderful. Captain, Luka, and Ivan kept us safe and going, Kristijana was so kind and helpful, and Andrej worked so hard making sure everything was served perfectly and with a smile. Chef Bane is a magician. Food was delicious and there was so much of it. What a crew! Special thanks to Ivica and Andro! I never dreamed of having so much fun biking and exploring Croatia. They were so fun! I have never met anyone who wanted to make sure my vacation was perfect s those two did! I hope to do this trip again in the future.

- Danijela , 05/10/2024 18:43, Travelled with Friend/s

Highly recommend!

I enjoyed the sail/cycle cruise immensely and would do it again in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. Our tour guides, Lola and Dora, were the very best we could have hoped for. They went above and beyond to make our time enjoyable, especially as we had to change the planned itinerary due to the weather. I can't speak highly enough of them, and the crew on our boat 'Columbia' from 14 to 21 September. Thank you!

Memorable Cycling vacation with friends

For us, great vacations combine beautiful surroundings , culture, activity and the chance to gather with old friends and new. Our time with Sail Croatia checked all those boxes. We joined the cycling cruise knowing only one other couple but left feeling like we many new friendships. The other cyclists were just one part of that. The ship’s crew was the added charm! Our tour guides Marin and Ilona took such good care of our experience! The safety measures were top notch & they truly cared about making sure we enjoyed the beauty of each island. We pedaled to quaint locations, sipped lattes on beaches & learned rich history. It was a perfect blend of activity & beauty. All the crew who managed the boat was incredible. Such care and pride was taken in creating a lasting memory. Mario, with his smiling face and humble service warmed my heart every morning, noon and night. His pride for his county & his work ethic should be a Masterclass offering. .A 5 star experience in every way!

- Connie, 03/10/2024 13:52, Travelled with Friend/s

Great trip. Boat was fun - though not terribly comfortable.

Lots of great people on this trip including two great guides and the ships crew. The biking was challenging and fun though 32 people are rather a lot to organize. The boat was not as good as we hoped, but probably our fault as we thought we had gone premium plus rather than premium. Cabins were very small and the food was OK but not great.

Fantastic Week

What a fantastic week of sailing and cycling between the beautiful islands of Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik. There is no better way to see this part of the world. Our cycling guides Ivica and Andro made this experience outstanding right from explaining in detail the route we were taking every day to discussing the history of the many stops we made along the way. They made the week so much fun! The size of the group was perfect and the staff were amazing. Andrej and the entire on deck crew made sure we had great meals, safe docking in every port and comfortable surroundings. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia if you are looking for a fabulous holiday.

Great time in Croatia

We began every morning at 7 for breakfast. By 8:15 the bikes were waiting for us on the dock beside our boat. We rode through fabulous scenery, mountains down to the Adriatic, vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages. Coffee break in a cafe, then riding back to the boat for a great lunch. Generally, then it was off to the next island. We stopped a couple times for a swim on the way. After docking, we walked into the village for wonderful Croatian dinners. Sleep, repeat. Small adventures all day. Excellent leaders in Marin and Ilona who provided guidance and history. Couldn't have been better.

- Jeffrey, 01/10/2024 21:13, Travelled with Friend/s

Island hopping made fun!

We really enjoyed being able to see things and places you normally wouldn't on a "regular" tour. Biking the islands made it possible for unique views and out of the way experiences.

Split to Split Southern

The team were great especially our bike leaders Miranda and Anna. We had a great bunch of fellow passengers on board and it was loads of fun! The islands chosen were beautiful and even though we didn’t always have great weather the tides and scenery were breathtaking!

Best Trip Ever

I traveled with all friends and family. Country is beautiful and welcoming. Prices were reasonable for everyone. Easy to navigate around country using local transportation or walking. The ship was comfortable and well maintained. The crew was exceptional dong everything possible to please their guests, to include top rated meals. Rides were challenging as advertised. Guides were very knowledgeable and supportive. Truly was the best trip I’ve had that included activity and relaxation. I would recommend this vacation to anyone.

Loved Every Minute!

From the day we boarded to the day we sadly had to leave we loved every minute! We were four ladies celebrating a 60th birthday. We just wanted to relax, see Croatia and have a good time! The crew was amazing and so accommodating. With only 32 passengers and a small crew you get to know everyone. The rooms were basic but roomy enough for 2 people and their luggage. The price of the cruise for what you get is really a fantastic value. Our room had 2 portholes and a door to the outside that we left open most of the time, it was not one bit claustrophobic, and the bathrooms were quite roomy. The bike rides each day on a different beautiful island were incredible. Our guides Andro and Ivica were the best! They were very attentive for our safety as well as enjoyment. We also had a beautiful swim stop each day. The food was very good and plentiful. The sailing time between stops was minimal so most of our time was spent biking lovely villages in Croatia! We want to book again next year!!

Intimate sail experience

Small boat with ability to sail into islands where crowds were low, locals were friendly and food was delicious. The simple beauty of the county of Croatia amazed me. I loved the cycling because you could go at your own pace. Ilona and Marin were our biking guides and they were skilled and knowledgeable. They allowed for cappuccino breaks too ! Onboard our rooms were comfortable and quiet. The staff was always ready to lend a hand. Our captain was skilled with a smile always. I loved my Sail Croatia trip and am already looking for my next one!

Amazing adventure!!!

Ivica and Andro were great! The communication, expectations and schedules were very well communicated. The weather wasn’t the best while we were there, but they worked around it to make every day special and amazing. I will definitely suggest this trip to my friends! You get to explore parts of the islands you can’t do with a car and that made it very special. Swim spots were amazing! Bike routes were amazing! Our group (31 ppl) was amazing. It’s an ever changing itinerary due to weather and port availability, but you still get to see amazing parts of islands you will never get to see again. From the bike crew, to the boat crew, the services were amazing.

Good

Travelled with a group of 12. Overall a great experience,. Although, we all felt rushed when riding , I can appreciate that when on a boat there are things we don’t know that may cause the riding time to be rushed, like having to deal with weather and docking times. These things should be taken in to consideration when choosing routes and times of riding. More time for sightseeing and swimming would have made my experience a lot better. The crew and guides did an amazing job. Would definitely refer friends to Sail Croatia.

What an adventure!

My partner is celebrating 2 years being cancer free and we decided on an active vacation with friends in a country we've never been before. This cycle cruise was all we expected and more. It was truly an ADVENTURE! The staff and guides truly take care of you every step of the way. Even though we didn't have 'picture perfect' weather (some rain), we had enough good weather to have fun and informative cycles. Croatia is an incredibly beautiful place, but the people are even more wonderful (the great food and wine doesn't hurt, either). Thanks to the chef for making Vegan options for us. Our guides, Marin and Illona really took care of us. FYI, our group of 6 was between 54 and 66 years old and we didn't struggle at all. The eBikes were great.

Great trip

We travelled Split to Dubrovnik on the Mali Ante on a sail/cycle. The boat is great, cabins were comfortable and the boat was clean and well maintained. The crew were excellent, they did their jobs very well, with a smile, and were always helpful. Our cycling guides, Marin and Ilona, were fantastic. Safety was a priority which we appreciated, but they also went out of their way to be helpful and informative. Despite some bad weather, we had a great trip.
