Beautiful sea, great weather, kind and simpatico crew and staff. Kind and professional captain who took on board the requests of his guests and supported them when he could. Cleaver and knowledgable tour guide Anita always helpful, kind and fun. So, thank you it was a wonderful holiday.

The trip was great for my restricted mobility. The railings on all walkways and stairwells made walking around the ship possible. The crew were always available to offer a helping hand or arm. One of the sailors - Mario - was exceptionally thoughtful. He carried my mobility scooter on and off the boat, storing and charging it overnight. He was sensitive to my fears, crossing from boat to boat, offering encouragement and praise, as well as physical help. Wonderful intuitive personal skills!

We travelled on the Katarina from Split return. It was so much fun and the scenery spectacular. If I had to suggest one thing that is a must I would say you need to book on the Katarina. It is a family run yacht and they honestly treat you like family. It was 5 star from start to finish.
- Sandy, 14/10/2024 09:36, Travelled with Family
My sister and I had a great trip on the Tempera ship. What more can I say about the amazing crew, the 5 star meals, the swim stops and the experiences that were set up by our hard-working, devoted ship activity director, Ioana. The small ship atmosphere is the way to go. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Carolyn , 07/10/2024 19:23, Travelled with Family
Really enjoyed the crew! Ioana was absolutely amazing and always replied so quickly. Food was excellent but you need good hot coffee. (This seemed to be the consensus) Room was perfect. Really enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

What a wonderful week on Tempra Explorer Cruise this week. The crew were extremely helpful and attentive. The chef was masterful in his approach to Croatian cuisine. Lovely presentations and always supremely delicious. Our Sail Croatia host Victor was such a positive influence. He is funny and very knowledgeable. Our cabin was easily large enough for 2 adults and good size bathroom and shower. Loved this cruise!

Dino was amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable, provided wonderful recommendations and was always available. The staff was awesome, couldn’t have asked for nicer people. The boat was nice and spotless. Would and will highly recommend to others

Loved my 7 day cruise on Almissa! Every day waking up to stunning Croatian islands, towns and cities was such a fantastic experience with options to do as much or little as you want. Almissa the boat was clean and well equipped to cater for all passengers. The cabin was spacious and comfortable and the crew including Dino the Cruise Director were fantastic! I would 100% recommend and if I'm ever over this side of the globe again, wouldn't hesitate to join another Sail Croatia cruise.

This was our first sail Croatia cruise and it exceeded all my expectations. The itinerary was a perfect way to see Croatia and included some great excusions. Every stop was beautiful Our cruise rep Vicko was fantastic, his knowledge allowed us to plan a perfect week and see as much as we could in the time we had. We definitely will return again
- Claire, 17/09/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family
The trip was a wonderful experience, made better by the great staff and the other guests. Made some good friends and discovered the beauty of the Croatian coast on a comfortable boat. Highlights included the swim stops, the local cuisine and the beautiful towns we stopped at

Our passionate Sail Croatia guide Ivan was always there for us with recommendations for activities and food and local history at our Port stops . Our ship Salve Di Mare and crew were also amazing with at least one swim stop per day. Each swim stop the crew moored us in amongst the most stunning scenery and pristine water.
- Ian, 03/09/2024 21:17, Travelled with Family
Friendly, attentive crew. Fantastic rep (Katarina). Clean ship, great food, well chosen destinations. Good choice of excursions mixed with daily swim stops. A fun filled week with lots of time to relax too.

My kids and I planned our vacation with Sail Croatia and we were blown away. We have never been to that part of the world. We created some amazing family memories that we will cherish forever. The staff was phenomenal and the week we shared with them and the other travelers felt like we were with extended family. We were not ready for it to end! Thank you again for an amazing experience!
- KELLIE, 18/08/2024 12:49, Travelled with Family
Sail Croatia introduced me to my new favorite way to travel!! My family and I had the absolute best time at sea for a week. From the crew, to the islands, to the daily swim stops, to the food, everything was perfect. I'm telling everyone I know that they need to experience a Sail Croatia cruise! Thank you for the best time!!
- Willow, 12/08/2024 16:40, Travelled with Family
A three tier generational family holiday, which catered for all of us. The food, crew, activities and the boat were all first class. Sail Croatia created a special family memory which we will all remember.

Fabulous, friendly crew who met all of our needs.
- Jennifer, 06/08/2024 10:02, Travelled with Family
Undoubtedly one of my best holidays ever. I couldn’t rave about our experience on Princesa Diana more. Anita was our rep and was FANTASTIC - kind, patient, informative, fun and with the best energy, she made our trip truly special. I would do Sail Croatia just to be led by her and the fantastic crew too. Nikolina and Errol, thank you for warm hearts and huge generosity - SO much fun and amazing to sail with. Our captain and all other crew were wonderful too. The food was also outstanding with exceptional service to match all round. A very beautiful boat too which I could have cruised on for days and days. The cruise route was also fabulous and such a brilliant way to see Croatia. This exceeded my expectations and more.
- Sian, 30/07/2024 20:36, Travelled with Family
The itinerary was incredible visiting the most amazing islands with swim stops along the way in the Adriatic Sea. Klara was the best host and all the crew were exceptionally helpful. I will definitely be returning for another Sail Croatia cruise.
- Sandra, 29/07/2024 19:28, Travelled with Family
We did a 7 night cruise from Dubrovnik to Split on Salve Di Mare with two teenagers, other family and friends. There were 10 of us and another 28 people on board. The boat itself is lovely with spacious cabins , a great dining room, tons of sun beds on the top level , a large outdoor lounge area and a spa at the front. So glad we chose this option instead of a catamaran. The itinerary changes as you go so you cant plan to do activities apart from those offered on the boat (which you book the day before each port) . We did the bike hire at Mijet, both wineries and the dune buggy tour. The dune buggy is not what we expected. No ‘off road ‘ dune bashing… just a ride around the island in buggies or jeeps on paved roads. Not worth the 60 euros each person. Make sure you get off the boat at Hvar when they offer a water taxi as it is a lovely town. Make sure you see the Blue Cave near Vis. It is spectacular. The meals are great (included) and the drinks expensive on board (not included).

I was travelling with my 78yr old mum 50yr old sister and 23yr old daughter and can't fault anything The trip was beyond our expectations If I could give 10stars I would The staff were better than any 5 star resort they felt like part of our family Anita was amazing I've travelled all over the world and done many cruises / tours and it's rare to come across someone as dedicated as ANITA she is an asset to your company as is Nicolina , eorl and the captain and cooks We are already looking at booking another trip with you next year and will be highly recommending to all our family friends and others Thanks for a trip of a lifetime

LOVED THE ROOMS, so clean and spacious. the boat was great. the food and the chef that prepared everything was so amazing. Klara was so wonderful. Ceasear the bar tender was so great and such a treat to our trip. we loved all of the crew. they were amazing.
- ashley , 23/07/2024 00:28, Travelled with Family
From start to finish Sail Croatia was faultless. Klara, our host, was informative , professional and an absolute bundle of fun. There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t look into for us if we needed something. There was a great variety of food which was all delicious. This has been such an amazing experience and we will take with us many happy memories and new friends.
- Sharon, 22/07/2024 13:17, Travelled with Family
The crew were very attentive and informative and friendly The captain managed the ship very well and stopped at great places to swim and visit The ship was clean and modern and had everything we needed The food was fantastic and plentiful Beds were comfortable and cabins a great size, with ensuites! Stopping at different ports every day was a great was to see many places in Croatia Croatia is a beautiful country.
- Racquel, 22/07/2024 04:01, Travelled with Family
Staff were incredibly helpful, and the food was great. Love the morning waking up and on our way to another adventure.
- Heidi, 16/07/2024 15:39, Travelled with Family
The boat was extremely beautiful and spotless. Besides the boat and sailing the gorgeous islands of the Croatia it wouldn’t have been such an amazing experience without the crew. Everyone from the crew was kind, funny, friendly and truly just some of the most wonderful people you could meet. I would definitely book with sail Croatia again but it would have to be with the Tempera crew and Nikos our tour manager. The entire trip was breathtaking to say the least. The food was delicious and the drinks were also great! Everything was truly value for money. I will never forget this cruise or the people who made the experience even better than I could have imagined.
- Taséa , 16/07/2024 15:13, Travelled with Family
Sail Croatia was such a good experience - the best people, the best crew & the best islands! Ivana, our guide, was amazing! She was hilarious, honest & reliable. The crew onboard including Nicolina & Eroll were so fun. Best vacation ever!!

We absolutely loved our Dubrovnik-Split explorer cruise. The itinerary was perfect. It was a great way to see a lot of islands. Our host was fun and informative. Loved how he kept us up to date on plans and kept if easy for us by taking all the guesswork out of it. Highly recommend!!!
- Laurie, 09/07/2024 23:27, Travelled with Family
The cruise was luxurious and fun from the moment we set sail. The daily swim stops were my favourite followed by delicious 3 course lunches to reenergise and chat to other guests. Beautiful ports, a friendly crew who were always attentive and helpful, plus the boat was spectacular with the most comfortable beds! We didn’t want the cruise to end and the mix of people, families, and ages made for such a memorable holiday. Loved it!!
- Kate, 09/07/2024 08:10, Travelled with Family
A fab holiday with my son that was exactly what i hoped for. The swim stops were a highlight; we made many new friends and the Island stops were wonderful. An expensive holiday for South Africans but this was a real rest and i didn't have to make any travel decisions during the week and could just enjoy the holiday.
- Suzanne, 24/06/2024 07:43, Travelled with Family
The crew on the bot were sensational as was Anita the tour leader. It was a great mix of ages and nationalities also so the description of this cruise being for "young at heart" was spot on
- Carolyn , 22/06/2024 17:46, Travelled with Family
Pero and Branco were great - helpful, friendly, hard-working. We would love to sail with them again! We booked a twin (for our daughters) and a double room (for myself and my husband), but we were given 2 twin rooms, which was not ideal. We booked our trip well in advance and confirmed at the time of booking that we were reserving a twin and a double. The meals were great - however, I would love to see an option of a lighter lunch - maybe some good salads and a protein option, versus the heavy lunch meals. Anna’s lack of experience showed and it would have been nice to have someone who knew the history a bit better. Additionally, she would only give her daily update at the end of lunch, after dessert. If you skipped dessert, you missed the recap. It would be better for her to give the update at the beginning of lunch, as everyone was sitting down and waiting for the food. This way, people could discuss the excursions during lunch. Also, her directions & information were not great.
- Abby, 18/06/2024 04:27, Travelled with Family
Hi Abby, Thank you for your 4 star review. We are pleased to hear you found the Onboard Reps and crew helpful and friendly - your comments will be passed on to them. It's great to see your cruise rating received an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 stars. On some of our ships, the double beds can be two single beds pushed together to make a double bed and this was the case with your double bed cabin. Thank you for your kind comments on the meals served. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed this overall and we appreciate your suggestions for lighter options, thank you. That's a wonderful suggestion regarding the daily updates at the start of lunch. We appreciate your comments regarding your Onboard Rep, although we are a little surprised as this is one of our experienced Reps and our records show that she received ratings of 4.9 out of 5 for your departure. Thank you again for your comments and suggestions and we hope to have you join us again in the future.
The cruise was amazing from start to finish. The crew, our tour guide Lola, the rooms, the food and drinks and the boat overall.

My family and I had a really great time on board the Katarina. We enjoyed the swim stops and the tours. The cabins were a comfortable size. Breakfast and a 3 course lunch was included everyday. Compliments to the Chef. The Captain gave a tour of the engine room which was very fascinating. Vicko our cruise guide was very friendly, hospitable, informative and made us feel very welcomed.

- Mary, 04/06/2024 20:27, Travelled with Family
This was my first experience of doing something like this and I came along with my daughter, not knowing what to expect. The experience surpassed my expectations. The crew were brilliant, in particular I would mention Branco, who ensured that my complicated dietary needs were met every day. He always had a smile on his face. The food was amazing and there was plenty of it. Lola was very helpful and gave us lots of information. What made the trip so much fun was the group of people on board from all around the world. One thing I would say though, is that we were a bit disappointed that some of the excursions listed and we were hoping to do, didn't go ahead. Maybe it should be mentioned in the advertising that certain things may not happen as this was disappointing. In particular, my daughter wanted to do the kayaking and then we were told that it really wasn't very good. Maybe in your advertising you should say that or that it is weather dependent. Apart from this, truly fabulous.!
- Jo, 03/06/2024 12:56, Travelled with Family
The boat was well equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast selection was plentiful and varied. The 3 course lunch every day was delicious! All the stops had something different to offer and we enjoyed every one. We were blown away by the beauty of the country! The crew were fantastic. Lola was our very informative guide and looked after us well, always being on call whenever we needed help or advice. Branco was so helpful and smiley and gave so much thought into making the meals suitable for my Mum who has quite specific dietary needs. Yolande was always so friendly and had a 'nothing is too much' attitude even lending us her phone one day to listen to music. The rest of the crew were great too. The only thing I was a little bit disappointed with was a couple of the excursions were discouraged/didn't happen - but we enjoyed each stop anyway. Finally, we made some great friends on board and will always remember the fun times we had. Thank you Sail Croatia, we will be back!
- Kelly , 03/06/2024 10:33, Travelled with Family
From start to finish the experience with Sail Croatia was amazing! We had a fantastic time exploring this beautiful part of the world. The crew on board couldn't have been more helpful and our rep was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The itinerary was just right and we spent just enough time in every place we explored. The ship was beautiful and had a perfect amount of space and was always kept very clean. It would have been great to have seen more of the adventurous excursions on the itinerary to choose from and I think the BBQ dinner could have been better - compared to the rest of the food that was provided on the ship (breakfasts/lunches which were amazing!) but apart from that it was a great trip!
- Daniela, 20/05/2024 08:00, Travelled with Family
We absolutely loved our time on the Almissa. The whole crew was fantastic, and Klara was a great guide. We will be doing this again and recommending to all of our friends and family.

Our Cruise on Tempera exceeded my expectations in all ways. The above deck cabins were lovely and more spacious than expected with large windows and doors to the outside to take in all the views. Food was very good with large helpings as well as water/ tea/coffee and lights snacks available throughout the day at no cost. Ioana did an excellent job offering so much information about Croatia and going above and beyond organizing ample excursions and evenings out for all guests, and always with a smile. Thank you Ioana and the crew for giving us an unforgetable holiday in beautiful Croatia.

Our Sail Croatia adventure was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better tour rep/coordinator than Ivan Bozic and the boat's Captain Davon along with his crew (Tina, Cezar, Tonci, Marko, and Darija). His dedication to our safety throughout the trip was truly commendable. He planned the best excursions and we enjoyed learning about Croatian culture and history as well. Ivan's expert coordination of the activities ensured that we had the time of our lives, with every moment filled with excitement and adventure. Thanks to Ivan's meticulous planning of places for dining/drinking, shopping, and water activities; our vacation was nothing short of perfection. From stunning coastal ports/towns to thrilling water sports, this trip was worth every penny. We are immensely grateful to Ivan B. and would not hesitate to choose Sail Croatia again for our future adventures with him as the tour rep/coordinator. Thanks to Sail Croatia.

De boot was prachtig,het eten heerlijk. De bemanning heel goed en vriendelijk, de hut was keurig. We hebben hele mooie dingen gezien Een onvergetelijke reis! 1 nadeel:drankjes aan boord zijn wel erg duur. The boat was wunderful, the food delicious. The crew very good and friendly, the room was super. We've seen beautiful things. The trip was unforgettable! (1 thing:the drinks on board are very expensive)

We did an Explorer Cruise on the Katarina in August and had a wonderful time. The boat was very modern and luxurious and the cabins were spacious and clean. We loved the daily swim stops at beautiful bays. Our guide Stjepan was great and took us on daily walking tours at every island we visited and gave us great dining recommendations every day. The food was of an excellent standard. Thanks very much to the Captain Ivan and the rest of the crew who were very friendly and helpful. There was also a great mix of guests, of different nationalities and ages but we all got along very well.I highly recommend this cruise to anyone that wants to experience the beauty of the Croatian islands on a luxurious small ship cruise.

We are so pleased to read what a fabulous time you had and that you really were so pleased with all aspects of the cruise, this is amazing. Thank you for adding to a fantastic atmosphere on board!
We had the most wonderful time seeing beautiful Croatia - our first stop on a Euro Tour. The staff were incredible; knowledgeable; funny; and kind, and made the trip and dream. So thankful for this wonderful opportunity!

Our Tour Manager Ivana was so knowledgeable and friendly, she showed us great places to visit and joined the group for dancing and singing on the boat too.... Ivana took us on some great tours. Our waiter Eril on the Princes Diana cruise was very attentive, friendly and smiled even if was up early and to bed late...he couldn't do enough for you. The size of our room was surprisingly larger than I expected and could take the large suitcases under our bed...We had a room on main deck area which all the other boats had to pass to get from one ship to another when docked, but we never heard anyone pass our door late at night so that was a bonus... a wee tip, I felt our room was a bit damp with the air conditioning and door closed, however my brother kept his door open when we were sailing as money locked in safe and trusted our crew and travellers on board and the breeze would flow through which was refreshing.
- Bridie, 01/09/2023 15:57, Travelled with Family
We had a great group of people of varying ages and nationalities. I was a bit worried as we had our young adult children , 21 and 18 with us but there were4 other teenagers on board along with around 4 other couples in their early 20s. The cruise itself was amazing, I loved the schedule of breakfast, swim stop and then explore a new place/ go on an excursion in the afternoon. The staff were amazing, always willing to go above and beyond and our guide Vicko, so knowledgeable and helpful. The boat itself had a great setup and very cosy and friendly feel about it.
