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

Great holiday

Thanks Sail Croatia for a very relaxing, fun and interesting sail around the islands off the coast of Split. We had a great time. The catamarans were Spacious! Ensuites were a happy surprise. Skipper was excellent.

Brilliant life changing experience

Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!

A great way to spend a week on Croatia's coast!

The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.

Relaxing and Memorable

Our cruise was very relaxing with the right balance of activities and interaction with other guests. We really loved the swim stops each day and the meals were of premium quality and presentation. There was plenty of space on the boat, Esperanza, to feel like you could have some privacy and then interact when we wanted to. We would recommend the cruise and we had a great time., the crew was very helpful and friendly.

7 beautiful days

The sailors took pride in their ship, always on top of their responsibilities. Our room was comfortable as advertised, staff friendly. Anita our hostess engaged with all her passengers, always eager to help. Our trip was delightful, swimming spots and beautiful ports to dock in. Wonderful country to explore with delicious food. Very fortunate to have had the loveliest travellers to make our holiday exceptional.

Sail Croatia Wine cruise

This trip was wonderful from beginning to end. Croatia is a beautiful country and we were able to enjoy it both on land and while cruising the Adriatic. The ship, Queen Jelena, was our comfortable floating hotel. The cabin/bath were a good size ( the bed a wee bit hard) and the ship's common areas offered various areas to sit, lounge, meet friends or just enjoy being on the sea. The food was delicious, the crew was fantastic and incredibly hard working, the wine tastings and cultural experiences were lots of fun. Our trip manager Ivan was absolutely top notch. The small group size made it easy to mingle with the other guests which made the experience even richer (although a list of guest names and name tags for the crew, at least initially, would have been helpful for getting acquainted the first few days. I would highly recommend the Sail Croatia wine cruise.

Olimp

We had the best time on the Olimp especially having a great tour guide, Ionna. The only thing I would have liked changed was to have coffee and tea readily available. Thanks for a wonderful holiday and very memorable.

The Best Cruise Ever!!!

Even before we started our cruise, Sail Croatia’s service was exceptional. They provided us with a complimentary pick up from the airport, and if we had have been going straight home, they would have provided an airport drop off too. This attention to detail continued right through our cruise. We did a Wine Cruise, which I believe is fairly new to the itinerary, but you’d never have know because it was so well planned and took us to so many beautiful wineries to sample an array of local wines. Our ship was Queen Jelena and it was just stunning. We had a cabin on the lower deck and we were absolutely delighted with it. It was spacious and comfortable. We had breakfast and lunch every day on the ship and the quality and quantity was exceptional!!! Pamela, our waitress and bar attendant was very friendly and efficient and couldn’t have done more for us. We were so fortunate to have Ivan as our guide, he was absolutely amazing. He made himself available all day every day. Best trip ever!

A wonderful experience along the Dalmatian Coast.

We went on the 7 day wine cruise, where we got to experience different Croatian wines and a different island every day. The food was fantastic and every meal was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the daily swim stops and the whole cultural experience. The rooms were spacious and we had our own ensuite. We both thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would definitely recommend this as an enjoyable, relaxing and culturally holiday experience.

The highlight of our six week holiday!

The Elegance cruise aboard the Olimp was such a delight! The holiday was effortless and the onboard food an absolute standout. Our tour guide was very entertaining, helpful and always available. The swim stops were a highlight for me. The cabin was roomy and the Olimp is beautifully maintained by a committed crew. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

Elegance Cruise on Olimp

My husband and myself signed up for this cruise with 5 other friends and we had a fantastic time. The Olimp is very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The crew was awesome- Ioana was an organized and fun cruise director who kept us informed and provided great recs for each stop of our cruise. This was our first time on a cruise and we found that the size of the ship and number of guests was just perfect. We enjoyed getting to know other guests on the cruise. Sail Croatia did an excellent job of communicating before the cruise as well.

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.

Cruise Croatia

The Olimp yacht was beyond amazing! And our tour director Ioana was the best we have ever had! She was amazing and catered to all our needs above and beyond!

Highly recommended!

We recently returned from an incredible 7-day sailing charter with Sail Croatia, and we can’t recommend it enough! We were greeted by Ante our skipper for the week, planned out our trip and set sail that same afternoon. We spent the next few days exploring the stunning islands off Croatia. Most days we would stop to swim in crystal-clear waters and prepare a luncheon before sailing off to our next port. We enjoyed one day on land in Vis and explored the island on scooters which was another fun adventure. The boat was spacious for the 6 of us and well-equipped, with comfortable cabins and a beautiful deck perfect for day sailing. Our skipper Ante was fantastic and arranged some very fun evenings for us – dinner at a vineyard and another at an inland Konoba featuring traditionally prepared meals. He was also very conscientious about giving us our space while always being close at hand. This sailing charter exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend!

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!

Excellent manager Ana, cycle guide Dora and crew. They couldn't have been more helpful. Itinerary promptly and smoothly rearranged if necessary according to circumstances eg weather. Definitely recommend this trip with Sail Croatia.

- sylvia, 18/10/2024 09:52, Travelled in a Couple

Great trip!

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!

- Janet, 18/10/2024 08:28, Travelled with Friend/s

October Surprise

We avoided the extreme heat and crowds that summer in Croatia usually brings. We were still able to swim in the mornings and enjoy walking around the smaller towns. The food on the Esperanza was quite good. Our tour director Ivana did a good job keeping us informed and on schedule.

Split to Dubrovnik cruise exceeded expectations

I had researched quite a few small ship cruise lines before booking, and I'm so glad we went with Sail Croatia! We sailed the Explorer cruise Split to Dubrovnik on The Salve di Mare, which was the most beautiful boat, with the rooms being generously sized and very well appointed (we were in the lower deck and even had a double vanity in our ensuite!) The Captain and his crew were reliable and friendly. Our cruise director Vicko was nothing short of amazing, being generous with his time and also his knowledge and assistance. We really enjoyed the daily Destination speech learning so much about the history of each please we were heading to. We did have to make a couple of itinerary changes due to port issue and weather, but it did not detract from any of our trip, if anything it meant we got to be first people of the day into the Blue caves! The food far exceeded our expectations, and as is with Croatia, always very generous servings! I would not hesitate to recommend Sail Croatia!

- Lee, 17/10/2024 05:19, Travelled in a Couple

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

What A Perfect Week!!!

This was a trip we had anticipated and looked forward to for almost a year. Traveling with lifetime friends, this was the last week of a 3 week Croatian experience. The ship Esperanza was lovely and so well maintained. Our cabins were adequate and spacious as ships go. The beds were great!!! Our crew and cruise director Ivana could not have been more helpful. The daily briefings ,and restaurant recommendations prior to making port were so helpful and much appreciated . It was everything we hoped and more.

- Mary, 16/10/2024 12:39, Travelled in a Couple

I had a great experience on Sail Croatia. Nothing but praise for our cruise director Klara and the rest of the team. Will be going home and recommending it to all my friends.

Fantastic experience!

We had a fabulous time meeting people from several countries. The Princess Diana was clean and comfortable and the guides and crew were friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The daily schedule allowed for cycling, exploring the towns and either relaxing or swimming. There was plenty to eat and the food was well prepared and quite good overall. We learned about Croatian history, customs and culture from our extremely knowledgeable guides who made us feel that we were welcome guests in their country. The e-bike s were good quality and easy to get used to. I would recommend this tour to anyone at a reasonable level of fitness. Some rides were strenuous, but well worth the effort. Bravo Sail Croatia, well done!!

- Laurel, 15/10/2024 19:42, Travelled in a Couple

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!

- Vicky, 15/10/2024 19:14, Travelled Solo

Enjoyed the Cruise

The other passengers were lovely and kind. The staff were very professional and helpful. Ivana was a brilliant Tour Manager too.

- Julie Bozicevic , 15/10/2024 15:36, Travelled Solo

Exceeded all expectations

The Olimp was a beautiful ship with a warm and professional crew. The other passengers also helped make the experience fun and memorable. Top the vacation off with the stunningly beautiful country of Croatia and the friendly people and you have a magical combination. We enjoyed seeing ports that the large cruise ships do not get to stop. We loved that there were only 36 passengers on the Olimp, and we got to know all of our shipmates. Airport transports were seamless! Accommodations, meals, and service were all superb. We felt safe and well cared for, so that all our focus was on enjoying the time on the ship and in the various ports. We would definitely book again with Sail Croatia.

Lovely wine cruise on Queen Julena

The wine tours were fabulous, staff and service and the cruise director, Karla, were all wonderful. The meals were delicious! The excursions were great, except for the wine dinner in Korcula ( too crowded, and food quality was poor). Areas needing improvement: fly swatters for each cabin( (we had a fly in our room the entire time). A better coffee machine ( coffee was terrible),, and two keys per room are needed.

Fun, Active Holiday

Enjoyed the cycling and swimming as well as the company of the other clients. We developed a real comraderie along with our two amazing guides and crew. There was much fun and laughter despite a very professional approach by the crew. Both guides had excellent knowledge of the islands and Croatia, making for some very interesting talks and discussions. Sailing gave an interesting and varied overview of the country. Advise bringing sand shoes for stony beaches

Fantastic week

This was our first cruise and we weren't sure what to expect. It was so fun and relaxing! We met lots of fun people and enjoyed each stop. Our tour manager, Dino, could not have been better. He had lots of fun energy and went out of his way to help and answer questions or give suggestions. The staff in the bar/dining room were also fantastic. And, the boat was beautiful and comfortable. We will recommend this cruise to friends.

Great holiday

Once on board the very comfortable boat, we were well looked after by delightful guides, good chefs, bar staff and boat crew. Good quality e-bikes, excellent guiding around five beautiful Croatian islands, the crew having to adjust the itinerary due to the weather conditions. The other passengers were similar ages to us, loved cycling and the exploring of new places so there were plenty of common interests.

Excellent Week on the Dalmatian Coast

Our skipper Ante was fantastic. He had a recommended route but was happy to modify it once we shared our preferences. Although we were all experienced sailors, it was great to have a captain for local tips both on & off the water. He is very well connected on all the islands and made excellent recommendations to keep us busy on land. Thanks for a fabulous week Ante & Sail Croatia!

- Julia, 14/10/2024 15:02, Travelled with Friend/s

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

Great sailing the Dalmatian coast

Super cruise up the beautiful Dalmatian coast. Smaller boat with great attention to detail by the crew and representative who was sooo knowledgeable and helpful. The off board trips were varied so we all had something to do, be-it the fit ones or the indolents ! Enjoyed the breakfast spread and having local courses at lunch time. Ports and local taverns for evening entertainment were spot on, with our host suggesting best local venues. On the rainy day he helped us to order in pizza for the party that erupted :) We are looking at 2025 now !

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.
