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!

Fantastic holiday

I had a wonderful time. The cruise was amazing...beautiful food, friendly staff and excellent hike guidance by Marte and Andro. I can't say enough to thank everyone for looking after me so well.

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.

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!

Enjoyed the Cruise

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

Breaking records!

The crew and Lozza made great changes to accommodate the weather conditions. It was such a great week to end the Sail Croatia season! Loz was awesome... couldn't have picked a better person to handle us all... if I could do sail again, I'd want her there along for the ride.

"life changing "

travelling solo for the first time was daunting to me, however from start to finish sailing on the Emanuel with the skilled and friendly skipper, the chef, who treated us with delicious meals, to Ivan and the other hands on board this experience got better and better. Tour guides Mila and Anita were passionate about their beautiful home country of Croatia and their enthusiasm for our day to day activities made this the perfect trip to include daily Hikes, swims in stunning locations, local knowledge and ensured everyone on board this lovely, comfortable ship had the best time. Of cause the highlight for me were the other 25 passengers I met. All like minded people from around the globe and im sure we will all remain friends. We had so much fun ! I cant wait to organise my next Sail Croatia Cruise as Ive never had such a rewarding and much needed life changing holiday.....Until next time

Trip of a lifetime!

Bought the explorer sail package and it was absolutely perfect. Wake up, have breakfast buffet on board, the captain would drop us off for a swim stop (1-3 hours), then it’s a 3 course lunch, right as we finish our lunch we have arrived at our new destination. We then had the rest of the day to explore at our own pace or sign up for the additional excursions. It was the perfect balance of scheduled and free time. I can’t wait to go back to Croatia!

- Han, 03/10/2024 15:56, Travelled Solo

Best Part of my Solo Travels

I highly recommend doing Sail Croatia! I boarded not knowing anyone and left with the most incredible group of friends. I loved every minute of the trip and it’s such an easy way to visit many different destinations in Croatia. I booked the Navigator Cruise and was placed on the Tuna ship with the most incredible crew. I want to give a massive shout out to Toni our Tour Manager who made the trip so much better! Toni and the crew always went above and beyond and I am forever grateful for them all.

- Gemma , 03/10/2024 11:45, Travelled Solo

Marin is the best!

I had the best time on my sail, Marin was the best trip manager! So knowledgeable and friendly, highly recommend.

- Samantha, 03/10/2024 03:30, Travelled Solo

Best Trip!

The people were so amazing ! Our guide Marin really interacted with us and was available whenever you needed help. This was my first solo trip and I couldn't have asked for a better experience :)

- Alexa, 30/09/2024 14:59, Travelled Solo

Fabulous trip!

Had the best time with the most amazing 24 fellow passengers from Australia, U.K., Canada, US, South Africa, and New Zealand, Our guides Mila and Anita were fabulous, professional and knowledgeable-thank you both so much! Ship - Emmanuel. The Captain, crew and chef (captains mum) were wonderful. Always professional, hospitable and safety paramount on board. Thank you all for looking after us like family and showing us your beautiful country and incredible islands! Customer service from Sail Croatia in london were great from start to finish - thank you! Cruise hike has been a fabulous experience and highly recommended. Kindest regards Stacey English

Best sail Croatia tour EVER!

First of all, the crew and host were the best. Lauren, Mateo, Frane, Lucinda and Nevan took such great care of us all and we’re always approachable and friendly. The tour itself was a great mix of activities, swimming and relaxation, as well as nights out. When weather and things out of the crews control occurred, the team ensured our safety and provided us with alternative arrangements which was much appreciated. Can not speak more highly of my experience.

- Samantha, 26/09/2024 12:24, Travelled Solo

The BEST Experience

Sail Croatia is such an incredible experience - sail takes all the planning and organisation out of the mix and allows you to just make amazing friends and memories on the boat while exploring the stunning Croatian Coast. Our crew: Elena, Big Daddy, Irena, Charlie and George were AMAZING and made the experience so much fun. The meals (and the boat’s cocktail jugs) were so good - 10/10 would recommend to any fellow travellers!!!

- Sarah, 25/09/2024 15:18, Travelled Solo

Navigator Cruise

I did the Navigator Cruise and had the time of my life. Seeing Croatia while staying on the water was such an awesome experience and such a unique way to travel. The crew on my boat were by far the highlight and I can’t thank our manager Toni and our waiter Nikola enough for making the experience as amazing as it was.

- Chelsey, 24/09/2024 01:22, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia

Dino was an excellent sail leader. He provided great recommendations and helped make navigation super east. I’ve been able to return to Dubrovnik solo with no issues getting there. He made the trip very fun and carefree.

- Steph, 23/09/2024 12:51, Travelled Solo

5 Stars

I had a fantastic week on Sail Croatia. Our guide Toni was extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I would recommend Sail Croatia.

- Anonymous, 23/09/2024 11:43, Travelled Solo

The BEST time !!

Our tour guide Toni absolutely made our trip! We had some of not the best weather but the whole crew always went above and beyond to make it so enjoyable. It was one of the best weeks of my life! I went solo but immediately made friends, it was such a fun week. Could not recommend more :)

- Erin, 23/09/2024 11:40, Travelled Solo

The best experience!

I could not have asked for a better experience with Sail Croatia! The weather itself was not the best, however the crew did everything they could to give us the best week of our lives as that is completely out of their control. Being a female solo traveller it can be nerve wracking going into an environment like this one but the crew were so amazing and made me feel so comfortable the entire week! The breakfast and lunch provided were incredible and were the perfect balance between healthy but delicious. Everything was organised for us and our amazing tour rep Lauren would send us recommendations on beaches, activities, restaurants etc. as well as give us some background on each place we were docking. The rooms itself were small (as expected for a small boat) but everyone was pleasantly surprised with much room we were given, especially in the ensuites. Honestly could not have asked for a better week with Sail Croatia and would recommend it 100%!

Hands down the best week of my life!

I can truly say that my week on Sail Croatia aboard the Kapetan Jure, sailing from Split to Dubrovnik, was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Despite a few days of rough weather, Jess, our incredible Sail rep, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible, and she definitely succeeded. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm were infectious, always made sure everyone was having the time of their lives. Jess didn’t just guide the trip, she made it unforgettable. Without her, I wouldn’t have had such an extraordinary experience. The entire crew was fantastic, too! Papi, our captain, knew just how to lift our spirits, and his smile was contagious. The chef’s meals far exceeded my expectations—some of the best food I enjoyed during my entire trip through Europe. Every member of the crew brought so much joy and laughter to our journey. The last night and morning as we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t hold back the tears, I didn’t want it to end! Onto planning the next!

- Lauren, 17/09/2024 23:01, Travelled Solo

Once in a lifetime experience

Had the most incredible week on Sail Croatia! Completely exhausting in the best way - days filled with swimming off the boat, exploring local towns, sunset drinks and then partying until sunrise. Our host Marin was incredible and absolutely made the trip - such a wonderful human with such great energy and always there to help when we needed. Couldn't have imagined a better week if I tried! Would highly recommend.

- Hannah, 17/09/2024 08:13, Travelled Solo

The Best Week and Perfect for Solo Travelling

I had an incredible week with Sail Croatia and have nothing but positive feedback. I was fortunate to sail with a fantastic group of people, making lasting friendships and feeling welcomed as a solo traveler. Lauren, my representative, was exceptional—highly organized and always able to lift our spirits. The crew was outstanding, the food impressive, and everyone was approachable and eager to help. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities, including canyoning, biking, and buggies. Overall, the experience was perfect and ranks among the best things I’ve ever done. Thank you, Sail Croatia and Lauren—I highly recommend this experience!

- Scarlett, 17/09/2024 00:59, Travelled Solo

Flotilla

Great experience! Beautiful places and people! Unfortunately the weather wasnt the best during the week but our skipper Dino made sure we stay safe the entire time, and even with the changes in itinerary still made sure we get to see everything planned. He also showed us how to put the sails up which was very cool. Would definitely recommend!

- Anonymous, 16/09/2024 13:08, Travelled Solo

Fabulous Cycle Cruise!

The crew, the food, the quality of bikes, the itinerary and the beautiful ship itself!

- Terry, 16/09/2024 02:50, Travelled Solo

Surpassed every expectation

Sail Croatia was a very pleasant surprise, it really exceeded my expectations in many levels. Staff was extremely attentive and accommodating to every guest’s needs. Food and service were amazing. Ship was very clean. Different options were given every day for optional excursions. Ship schedule was perfect to enjoy every stop’s treasures and nightlife for those who wished. Ioana was our host and was always around to bring groups together and make everyone feel involved. I was traveling solo but never felt alone. We all felt like family by day 2. Fun laughs and memories to cherish forever. I would come back again and again!

Sail Croatia Passenger - 04-11 September

The trip exceeded all expectations. It was a very last minute decision to go on the cruise and was quite hesitant at first. However, shortly after arriving, I soon realized the week was going to be one to remember. Our representative, Miran was nothing short of perfection. He knew every location backwards, recommended the best eating and sightseeing locations, but also managed to get us into some unbelievable partying places too. Our bartender Tomi was an absolute hit! He knows how to get a party started and definitely knows how to make everyone’s nights an absolute wild one. The rest of the crew worked behind the scenes to ensure our safety was their top priority even when we encountered some questionable weather. All-in-all, do not hesitate - book that trip! You may walk away with a sore head, damaged liver and sleep-deprived, but it will be worth it.

So much fun

The people. If you want some fun in the sun while exploring the culture and beauty of Croatia book yourself in as soon as you can!

BEST TOUR I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AS A SOLO TRAVELLER

The staff themselves, and their willingness to go above and beyond to make the experience great for everyone. They were extremely friendly, organised and helpful, to the point of providing personalised maps at each of the destinations so that we were easily able to get around, and offered suggestions if we didn't know what we wanted to do. Towards the end of the trip I unfortunately came down with the Flu. A staff member regularly checked up on me while on the boat, and when it proved to be a stubborn Flu, they accompanied me to the Hospital to get help. On the final day, they even helped me walk my bags to my next hostel, as I was not well enough to carry them myself and as a solo traveller, did not have anyone to help me. I truly cannot recommend Sail Croatia more. I had a brilliant time, made new friends and had crazy fun experiences. All that alone would have me raving about them, but the biggest this was they truly cared about each of their passengers, and made sure I was safe.

Once in a lifetime experience!

Literally a once in a lifetime experience, because I don’t think my body could take a round 2. It was a great fucking time though. The people were amazing, not only the travellers but also the crew of Penelopa (George - what a chef, crepes every day, Mario - a legend & Isabel - Big Daddy’s wild daughter)! The swim stops would lead to floating to a nearby beach and getting free hospitality shots. The buggy’s got my passenger princess close to a heart attack while the canyoning almost killed me. The parties, late nights & little sleep but cool clubs & good company. It was heaven. I’ll always cherish the memories. It’s a 10/10 from me, would recommend (heavily)!

- Thalia, 04/09/2024 16:55, Travelled Solo

10/10 Best Experience

Firstly Sanja was amazing; her recommendations were awesome and she was always professional but still joined in on all the fun. Our boat was also amazing, the meals were really good and the crew were all very nice. I would recommend to everyone!

- Maddi, 04/09/2024 16:11, Travelled Solo

Unforgettable week in Europe!

This was one of the highlights of my travels in Europe! I went on this trip solo and it was one of the best weeks of my life, so much fun partying and meeting new people! The crew, chef and our host Ivan were all incredible! I have made so many new friends and memories I’ll never forget! Sail Croatia is something you won’t regret and I am so stoked that I was apart of this epic experience!!

- Jemma, 04/09/2024 13:00, Travelled Solo

Amazing, trip of a lifetime. Would 100% recommend to everyone 🌟

EVERYTHING!!! Day 1, speech 1 Dino advised us to trust his recommendations and he would guide us to have the best trip possible - he absolutely did not disappoint. His logistical planning, leadership and approachability is second to none. Every night was planned impeccably which no doubt helped us make memories for a lifetime with our group. Even to the point of creating a street party in Makarska with 4h notice!! Dino was born for this 💛 Nikolina was the most wonderful and caring hostess, and doing the job of 2 people at once no less!! For her first season, she was a total pro! The chef’s meals were absolutely delicious and I always felt well catered for especially as a vegetarian. The rest of the crew also helped to always ensure common areas were kept to a high standard, and made our boat feel totally like home for the 7 nights. Last but not least, our group was very well age matched, so inclusive, approachable and humble. We became family by the end of the week. ❤️

- Milonee, 02/09/2024 16:44, Travelled Solo

One of the best trips I have done!

I was on the Dalvin and my tour manager was Jess. It was just a fun trip that exceeded my expectations! The crew worked hard and were attentive, and Jess was knowledgeable and accommodating to make the trip great for each person. I am so glad I went on this trip and am excited about the connections I have made with everyone on the boat!

- Christina, 02/09/2024 14:35, 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. : (

- Christine, 02/09/2024 10:36, Travelled Solo

Amazing time

My week was amazing. The crew was 10/10. Loved the sailors, Captain, and server. I felt very well taken care of by them. Lauren our guide was knowledgeable abt all our stops. She always brought the vibes and made sure everyone had fun. I would definitely recommend.

- Kaitlyn, 02/09/2024 09:30, Travelled Solo

Lauren Is The Best

Lauren was the best rep she made the week so much fun!!! I had the best week on sail and made so many friends so easily. Would definitely recommend this to everyone as it is the best experience!!

Sail Croatia 2024 - Kapetan Jure

I had the most amazing week on Sail Croatia this August/September. Everyone on board was amazing and so easy to get along with. The crew were great and the food was insane. Special shout out to our trip manager, Sanja, she was incredible and made the week an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this trip to everyone!

- Emily, 02/09/2024 04:24, Travelled Solo

Week on the Pacific

Marin and the crew gave us the most amazing week on board the Pacific. The energy was unmatched and we had so much fun. Couldn’t recommend the navigator Premium enough! The rooms were a great size and so much room on the boat for all 40 of us.

- Anonymous, 30/08/2024 13:32, Travelled Solo

Navigator cruise

I had an amazing time being able to meet new people and experience Croatia through sailing. Our rep Ceili was amazing at connecting with everyone and being an amazing friend to have onboard with us, but also showed amazing organizational skills with activities and making sure everything ran smoothly. The crew was also so amazing! Every member of the crew was so welcoming and helpful which made the trip so great.

- Kameryn, 30/08/2024 10:46, Travelled Solo

Time of my life on the sea

Came onto sail Croatia with high expectations of a great time - due to countless friends recommendations, and even my expectations were exceeded from the amazing time and atmosphere created by the crew on Mala Kate and especially Elena who always had priorities for us and to make sure we had the best time possible, it was so nice to switch off and rely on her fully and waking up to a message full of recommendations, she was so easy to communicate with and always kind and respectful. Bruno was an amazing waiter/bartender and always knew how to make us laugh and have a good time. The boat was always so clean thanks to Roko and smooth sailing thanks to Bo Bo. My one worry with coming onto sail was I was unsure of food choices due to my extensive allergy list but I was always well accommodated and they always took good care of me - big thanks to Davor for that!!! Overall, it has to be one of the best weeks of my life and I’m so thankful for the experience and friends I made!

- Katie Bull, 30/08/2024 06:30, Travelled Solo

A week to remember

If you’re ever hesitant about doing sail Croatia alone don’t be and just book it! The best week exploring Croatia with some of the best people you’ll ever meet. Lola and the crew on Mali Luka made everything worthwhile and were amazing throughout the whole week. Highly recommend to everyone!

- Stephanie Evans , 27/08/2024 09:01, Travelled Solo

Best week!

I had such an enjoyable time on board the navigator ship! In particular our guide Emma was exceptional! Super helpful, knowledgeable and bubbly, she kept the vibes high the whole week. We really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. My above deck room was good and food awesome. Loved the amazing daily swim stops

- Emily, 26/08/2024 15:34, Travelled Solo

Best week ever!

The whole Tempura team was amazing. The food, the service, the excursions… everything was top notch! As a solo traveler amongst all friends and couples, I felt like I was taken in as part of a big family! I still had my alone time when I needed it, but most of the time you could find me on the deck with the rest of the group, laughing hysterically or just taking in the breathtaking views. I would 100% recommend Sail Croatia, and I could see myself returning for another trip in the future!

- Allison, 26/08/2024 14:55, Travelled Solo

the best week!!!!

Toni as our rep made our week on the boat the best it possibly could be, he always looked out for us and made sure what was best for us was done, and most importantly made everything fun and enjoyable

- Grace , 24/08/2024 09:20, Travelled Solo

It was everything I hoped for and more!

As a solo traveller I was really nervous doing this by myself, but within the first hour it felt like I had known these people for my whole life. Our rep Saša, was absolutely amazing. He had so much knowledge about all the places we visited and helped us in absolutely any situation we found ourselves in. Same goes for Bruno, he was the life of the party, always down to have fun and make conversation. All in all it was such an amazing week that honestly couldn’t have gone any better.

- Chloe, 23/08/2024 09:31, Travelled Solo

Highlight of my holiday !

Our tour guide Ivana was exceptional - energetic, well organised and informative - she also took the time to get to know us all which in turn helped to bond the group - I boarded as a solo traveller but soon that was forgotten and friends were made. The boats facilities were excellent, modern, clean and fresh. We enjoyed delicious food, the crew were attentive and worked hard to make our trip enjoyable but were also so much fun. ! Highly recommended !!!

- Sally Spencer , 21/08/2024 19:06, Travelled Solo

Esperenza Elegance at its best

Everything about this trip was better than I could have hoped for. The boat, the cabins and amenities were excellent. But what made it extra special were the dedicated team onboard who went out of their way to make our holiday a memorable occasion. The cooking was superb, the team serving us were amazing, the captain and crew the best. The swim stops each day were a big highlight and a magical experience. The islands each had their own charm. I felt so well looked after on this holiday. Another bonus was the great mix of similar age groups on the boat. I would definitely recommend this boat and team. A special callout to our Tour Manager, Ioana, who made it all happen, incredible co-ordination and management skills plus a charming personality to match. Great job Ioana and team. Thank you, Sail Croatia, until next time!
