My partner and I had a great week on Sail Croatia thanks to Lauren, Mateo and the other crew members. The weather was average but Lauren went above and beyond to maintain morale and organise alternative activities. The crew were very easy-going and friendly and we enjoyed learning about Croatia from them. Our only suggestion is to Sail Croatia directly - we think the itinerary could be improved. The Sail Croatia website states the white water rafting is available on the Split to Dubrovnik tour (which was not the case). We also would have appreciated more time exploring the towns as opposed to spending hours at swim spots.

When they tell sail Croatia is one of the best weeks you’ll experience they aren’t lying!! Met the most amazing people, made the most amazing friends and got to experience some amazing scenery! I’m so grateful for our trip leader Ceili was an absolute legend I felt like she was one of us, she was so helpful, took the time to get to know us all and spent most of her time with us! The crew on the boat were incredible, so friendly, helpful, made sure everyone was happy and also joined us for a good time! So grateful and I couldn’t recommend this enough and I’ll be talking about it for years to come!! Big shout out to the crew on TRVDI you bloody legends thank you for giving us the best experience possible!!!

This trip was seriously one of the best experiences ever! We had an amazing crew, a great group of people and we visited some of the most beautiful places! Our ship was so much nicer and more spacious than we expected, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing on those hot days! The swim stops were so beautiful and refreshing and exploring the islands and towns made for a perfect balance of a relaxing and activity filled trip! Dino and the rest of our crew were amazing, they worked so hard to make sure we had the best experience and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Dino was fantastic, he was so friendly and welcoming and it felt as though he genuinely cared about us, taking our concerns seriously and taking care of any issues that came up.

- Emma, 23/08/2024 14:47, Travelled with Friend/s

Had the most insane trip onboard the Pacific. Couldn’t ask for more with our tour guide Dino. He was so helpful and went out of his way to assist us in anything we needed. Even when some of the clubs were closed due to local happenings Dino sourced down the next best places to go and helped make the night the greatest it could be 😌😌

- Lucy, 23/08/2024 14:31, Travelled with Friend/s

The people - other travellers and the crew - are the highlight of this trip. Recommend for those who want to experience Croatia with new friends 😎

Matilda was amazing! The desserts weren’t the nicest and breakfast should have been a bit later but the rest of the crew were great too!

- Lauren, 21/08/2024 05:43, Travelled with Friend/s

There’s wasn’t as many activities as I though there would be. The food wasn’t great and there was no food to snack on aka chips. I feel like since the towels weren’t drying they probably needed to be changed more often. My towel was wet all the time when showering. Sanja was great, crew were all fabulous. Sanja was well informative on each island and was very honest in which activity was better to do which was great.

- Olivia, 20/08/2024 16:34, Travelled with Friend/s

I definately think our guide Toni made us having the best time ever, he was really good at making the group become one and making sure that we were all having a great time. I find it admiring to see how quick we was at always answering our texts and questions whether it was late at night or during the day and he always made sure everone was safe and good especially during the party nights. He was a real and honest guide who made sure that our money was spent right and we didn't waste anything, giving us good recommendations of what to do see and eat and what not to do. I wanna thank him and sail croatia for a fantastic week!!

- Natalie Summer, 16/08/2024 12:35, Travelled with Friend/s

Marin was the best tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and very honest with his opinions. He would go out of his way to help you with anything you needed and made things run as smooth as possible. A great way to see the sights of Croatia!

- Hanna, 10/08/2024 11:38, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to see the islands and party through Croatia. Katarina our guide was so lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was nothing special but our guide and the experiences they provided made up for it,

- Camille, 09/08/2024 17:08, Travelled with Family

Honestly the vibe throughout the whole trip was great. We had a fantastic group leader named Clara who offered heaps of activities and the entire trip was just so fun

- Lucy , 07/08/2024 15:47, Travelled with Friend/s

Was very happy with the room, both the bedroom and bathroom were decently sized and had good facilities. The food on the boat was really great, we were never hungry. The crew were kind and hardworking. I wish we could’ve been informed on our swim spots more. The boat would just depart from them without notice so you might miss out or jump in without realising we were about to leave. I think our tour manager could’ve gave us better suggestions on what to do in town. Sail is a great way to travel and I really enjoyed my week!

- Anonymous, 05/08/2024 09:35, Travelled Solo

The views, food and friends made were amazing! Wanted to say a special thanks to our crew and in particular our trip manager Andro. He really made this experience extra special for each and every one of us marking sure we all go the most out of our trip. This week will go down in the history books for 7 days I'll never forget. Hope to do it all again soon ❤️

- Alyssa, 29/07/2024 17:18, Travelled Solo

Lola our host & the crew were awesome and made us feel very welcome. Lola was very informative and helpful in a range of situations. The rooms were clean and tidy and the daily breakfast and lunch meals were delicious and kept us filled up for big days. The swim stops were beautiful. We had a great time on board the Mali Ante!

I had such an amazing time meeting so many new people and travelling to the different beautiful cities of Croatia, definitely a memorable travelling experience!

Dino was a great host and the crew were amazing! Wish we spent more time in the water and breakfast wasn’t so early, but it was balance or rest and party. I also wish we got more history about Croatia when we got to the different ports.

- Mia, 05/07/2024 10:54, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia was good. To make it better I would suggest more effort is put into the socialising of everyone on board e.g group drinking games, getting to know people etc. guided by the host. Also more time at each destination would be good! Not sooo long at swimming spots. Our host Clara did a good job for her first ever Sail!

- Annebelle , 03/07/2024 10:10, Travelled in a Couple

I felt throughout the whole trip I was being asked to pay extra for random aspects such as bus transfers, water ferry’s. I feel like I don’t understand where my almost $2000 went. The crew and guide were amazing but all the hidden extra costs are not explained properly. I feel the initial price should be increased or have a lump sum you can do at the start with card instead of having to try get exact cash for everything. We had a ratio of 19 females to 3 males which is just ridiculous. I feel there should be allocated spots for males and females to have an appropriate dynamic. The people I was with were amazing and did save the trip and I really did enjoy myself but the random hassles all throughout the trip really did not make me want to rebook with sail Croatia again.

- Jessica, 19/06/2024 09:19, Travelled Solo

It was an overall good experience and Ceili was an amazing host. Really good company!

- Sarah, 17/06/2024 21:28, Travelled Solo

I had fun exploring & it all being organised for me but there was a lot of groups so felt a bit hard to get to know people. The crew were amazing!

- Erin, 10/06/2024 10:09, Travelled Solo

Boat was a bit ordinary and not what’s in the photos and videos. Food was okay. Advertised that dinner isn’t included so assumed find something ourselves however it was organised every night which felt like we had strict time lines and did not have much freedom to explore. The dinners organised were overpriced and average. I don’t want to be eating Japanese on my first night in Croatia. I want traditional food and seafood!!! The night clubs we were taken too were small and pretty average and some overpriced!! 11€ for one drink is stupid. I also was charged wrong prices for my drinks on board, I ended up having to pay 30€ extra for drinks when I was just charged wrong. Ceili was amazing though! Best rep we could’ve asked for and she made the week so special! Have made friends for life

- Anonymous, 10/06/2024 06:36, Travelled with Friend/s

Marin was amazing I hurt myself on the trip and he made sure he was there to support me through getting it sorted at the hospital while also making sure everyone was sorted for their activities. He did amazing thinking on his feet when things had to change and we couldn’t do the original plan. The crew were fantastic helped us we everything we asked them and chief made some awesome meals with the BBQ night our favourite. Unfortunately I was disappointed in the fact that clubs weren’t open and we weren’t offered the activities which were advertised. I think that it’s extremely poor to advertise certain clubs that won’t be open at this time of year that we would miss out on but wouldn’t know that till we got on the boat that needs to be fixed as I would have adjusted my dates.

- Rorri, 06/06/2024 06:20,

We were on the "Big Blue" ship, and to start with the only negative, the ship was smaller then we anticipated. The Navigator Cruise has 2 or 3 ships you can be put on depending on the price you pay. I would describe the accommodation has a hostel on a boat. However, this did not stop us all from having the best week, I would actually say it helped! Everyone was always together having chats, listening to music on the top deck, jumping from the top deck and making a memorable week for us. Lastly the crew and tour rep were all incredible!!! Highly Recommended 🥳

- Christina , 03/06/2024 10:46, Travelled with Friend/s

Was lovely to meet everybody, explore different parts of the islands, the rep marin who we had for the week was sooo lovely and fun, without him the week wouldn't of been such a success!

- Kaylee, 27/05/2024 19:51,

The easy answer...YES. However a bit differently... I would recommend going in peak season so the weather doesn't interfere with your itinerary. Be prepared to spend more money than you think! The party cruise is 110% partying every single day...your liver definitely gets a run for its money. Overall your group makes the experience. As a solo traveler I still had the best time and made so many friends/memories!!!!!!!

- Zoe, 11/10/2023 13:22, Travelled Solo

Loanna had great organisation and listened to the group as a whole Repeated important information multiple times individually and as a group to make sure we all knew what was happening She was very funny

I was with Katarina on Zaramaris, Kat was incredible and made the whole trip incredible. Overall had a great time but some of the meals could have been better and felt some facilities were lacking, but this may have been due to being end of season.

- Melanie, 22/09/2023 19:28, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia was amazing! Trip of a lifetime! I do recommend! Although it was very expensive, the day activities and offered meals on board are very over priced. Although it all is a lot of fun and over all I would do it again!

- Gemma, 12/09/2023 20:04, Travelled with Friend/s

Croatia as a country was amazing and beautiful. However, the sail was disappointing. Our representative was not very engaging and for the price you pay, you don’t get a lot for it. Considering you pay prior, the drinks at the bar are expensive and ‘happy hour’ is only 10% off which isn’t worth it. They offered limited water and if you wanted a bottle of water you had to pay. Even when unwell, there is no bottled water that is accessible and you are not able to bring bottles from off the boat. As a couple, we were given two single beds and other groups of friends that requested single beds were in rooms with doubles. Overall, not worth the price you pay and we weren’t very satisfied and actually left the boat early due to being unwell and not being able to access cold water.

- Nikita, 04/09/2023 05:18, Travelled in a Couple

Aircon was not working properly and the bedroom fascilities were terrible. No changing of sheets, towels or pillows when we were in a HEAT WAVE and many on board were sick was not good. Whole experience was uncomfortable. Chef also prepared wintery hot meals when we were in a HEAT WAVE. Very disspointed with the experience.

- A, 03/09/2023 14:02, Travelled in a Couple

Our boat itself was fantastic, make sure you book the Gradina. Also a huge shout out to the chef who was fantastic. Our lunches and 2 dinners were delicious. My experience was tainted by the make up of the group, but that is the risk you take with group tours. The activities were the highlight though especially the Mljet national park bike ride.

- Anonymous, 02/09/2023 14:07, Travelled Solo

Loved all the locations and met heaps of friends. Food and chef was great! However crew themselves weren’t the most enthusiastic about the trip particularly our guide/organiser. But you get out what you put in. Overall had a great time!

Had a great, rowdy group which made the week really good and entertaining! So much fun and great memories made! The crew was so lovely, food was yummy! We had 4 deck chairs between the 34 of us and 1 floaty. There were also no spare towels when they blew away while hung up. Those were the only downsides. But overall the girls and I had fun.

- Leanna, 25/08/2023 05:02, Travelled with Friend/s

this trip was amazing! its a well oiled machine, the swim spots, the activities, the nightlife. I'm convinced the only way to see the croatian coast fully is by boat. Im really glad i did the VIP navigator on the salve di mare ship, it was clearly the nicest ship. also the perks were great for the VIP, the food was good, the maid service daily, the ship itself was beautiful. the rooms were even more spacious than expected. i didn't realize this was almost an exclusive aussie trip so that was a surprise, i was expecting people from all over the world. luckily most people were nice and whoever was annoyed by me being american i just kept my distance. i did expect more solo travelers but it was actually a lot of couples. or groups of couple friends. i wish the drinks on the boat were a little cheaper to encourage more mingling on the boat, everyone just seemed to be drinking in their rooms to avoid the prices at the bar.

- Anonymous, 23/08/2023 20:02, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia was one of the best weeks of my life. We had an amazing group that was all super welcoming and ready for anything. Barb was an exceptional guide that was always smiling and willing to have a laugh with us. The crew on board worked so hard and did not stop cleaning up after us and making sure our drinks were full. Only down side is I didn’t realise how expensive the week would be. Bar tabs, excursions and tips and the end. The week itself is already not cheap and then there was a whole lot of cots that really added up. However, that is just small part. You can make money back but the experience was well worth every penny!

- Anonymous, 22/08/2023 10:52, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia was fun in general if you like partying everyday. For me was okish, from their social media I expected it to be a lot of swim stops, but in reality it’s very quick morning stop -some of the days then your stuck in port most of the time. They changed our tour around a little bit so we didn’t get to see stari grad. Food quality for price could have been way better, way too much pork/meat and not much flavor, breakfast wasn’t good so I ended up skipping it everyday.. They activities they offer aren’t the best, I think the zip lining was the best but the buggying was not worth the money. The tour guide we had she was very nice but not super informative, but from other people I spoke to seemed we got very lucky with out staff members as other boats girls were getting harassed and bar tabs wrong. Probably wouldn’t sail again unless it was VIP and different cruise type.

- Jamie, 21/08/2023 06:17, Travelled Solo

“Tuna” itself was really good, the aircon worked and the chef was fantastic. It was quite spacious for an ensuite boat. A few notes on this trip- the Tour guide was very unenthusiastic from check in on day 1. This was in regards to everything from excursions, to pub crawls. The pub crawls were very unorganised and communication overall could have been better. Restaurants for dinner were very average. Although Excursions were fun, they were well overpriced. The breakfast advertised was a buffet with an assortment of sausages/meat, eggs, pastries, cereal, fruit etc. The breakfast provided was continental style with one type of egg, toast, cereal and fruit, which was a bit of a let down.

- Sarah, 16/08/2023 00:37, Travelled Solo

Whilst Croatia is absolutely beautiful, prepare yourself for the low quality of the boat and the extremely tiny confines of your room. Our shower, if you could call it that, didn’t even have a holder on the wall, you had to hold it yourself like a tap and shower on top of the toilet. The smell in the bathroom was horrific and with three people crammed in a room hardly fit for one person, it was certainly an experience. The tour leader and crew however were absolutely lovely and made the experience more bareable. If you’re not into budget travelling, sail Croatia is not for you.

The people on the boat were so likeminded and crew did the absolute most to ensure we had a good week. It would’ve been fantastic to stick to the itinerary a little more, and have more things like sun beds/chairs for the time we were on the boat.

- Zaffie, 11/08/2023 09:34, Travelled Solo

Overall had such a fun week with an amazing bunch of people! Ioana our sail leader was incredible and went above and beyond for everyone, she made the trip unforgettable. Loved the boat and swim stops. Due to weather conditions we had a few schedule changes which should have been made up for! But overall was a bucket list trip I’ll never forget!

- Josie , 01/08/2023 08:59, Travelled in a Couple

Firstly we were one guy one girl FRIENDS only travelling and we booked two single beds. A week before going on the cruise we were told that there were to many solo travellers on the boat so we had to share a double bed. If we knew this could happen before booking then we wouldn't of chosen this cruise. When we got onthe boat we found out that there was only one solo traveller out of the 36 of us..A group of 8 girls all had separate beds and said if they were asked to share then they would of been more than happy too. It made the trip not so pleasant sleeping next to someone of the opposite sex that you are not in a relationship with. Secondly our host/guide or whatever you call him was useless. He was unapproachable, unfriendly, not helpful, grumpy alot of the time and wouldn't cater to everyone. Would say comments like "I'm the guide, you do it my way" All and all I didn't enjoy this and wouldnt recommend it

- Jess, 01/08/2023 07:29, Travelled with Friend/s

The toilet was broken on lower deck which meant we had to constantly walk upstairs. This was inconvenient and not what we were promised for what we paid. We also paid for air conditioning which often turned off, meaning we woke up extremely hot. We wouldn’t have bought it if we had known it would randomly stop working. We didn’t have access to any tissues/toilet paper downstairs which was also frustrating as we had nothing to wipe things up with. When we arrived home from clubs we had been taken to the water was always empty which meant we had to ask other boats for water. When I called our representative he said all the deck crew were asleep and to buy it. This was completely unacceptable as we were meant to be supplied water. On our last night we didn’t get a family dinner or barbecue or cocktail which was on our itinerary. Often weren’t told about happy hour on the boat. It was not worth the amount money we paid.

- Ruby, 24/07/2023 14:39, Travelled with Friend/s

Same bedding and towels for the entire week. Horrible smell in bathrooms. Tasks appeared to be too difficult for crew members, e.g my friend reached out to staff after collision with a sea urchin and they bluntly suggested to pee on it. They should’ve looked at it, tried to assist, help make a doctors appointment, discuss possible options. Rafting excursion was cancelled, no one was advised. Staff expected a tip despite average service and when being tipped there was no appreciation demonstrated, no ‘thank you’, but a careful eye was watching the amount tipped. Our boat leader didn’t make an effort to hype everyone up, it resulted in a mellow experience unlike what was advertised and expected when travelling with the navigator cruise. The itinerary suggests that there should be a group dinner followed by cocktails on our final night, but after money was collected earlier in the day, all staff were unreachable. No one organised a group dinner and our group felt disassembled.

- Anonymous, 24/07/2023 09:11, Travelled with Friend/s

Our tour guide was not involved in the group at all. He did nothing to combine the different groups and so as a solo traveling it was unenjoyable. I feel as though he did the bare minimum, but didn’t even give adequate information. For example, when we went on the buggies there was a 30 mins break where we could have gone swimming but he didn’t mention this to us. So, the whole group missed out and were extremely hot. He never went out of his way to communicate much at all

- Sarah , 24/07/2023 03:29, Travelled Solo

Our boat waiter, Marijan Skocibusic was an absolute legend! He kept the vibes up for the boat the entire week and it wouldn't have been the week it was without him. Sail's number one employee, THANK YOU MARIJAN!
