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!

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.

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 !

The Katarina and her crew were highly professional and attended to our every need throughout the week. What a fantastic way to see the Dalmatian islands! Cabins were amply sized and comfortable, ship was sparkling clean. The Explorer cruise offered multiple ways to enjoy each stop and every day began with a leisurely swim in a beautiful place. Highly recommend this trip.

- Laura, 14/10/2024 04:32, Travelled with Friend/s

The boat and staff were top notch. I would definitely recommend this trip for those who want to experience the coastal small towns and cities of Croatia. The cruise director Dino was helpful and full of wonderful suggestions for activities and dinners. The food on the boat was excellent as well as the coffee. I had a wonderful week. Thank you Sail Croatia!!!

- Catherine, 14/10/2024 01:02, Travelled with Friend/s

The smaller cruise, 36 people was a great number. The food was amazing, got to try so many local dishes. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The format for each day worked really well. Loved the combination of swimming, relaxing, eating on board and the in the afternoon exploring and being able to eat dinner on land.

- Sally, 12/10/2024 07:53, Travelled with Friend/s

The "Tempera" cruise was interesting bc it stopped every day at a different island unlike other large cruise ships. The boat was small which allowed both the crew and the 36 passengers aboard to get to know each other. The food + its preparation were excellent. Above all, our guide, Ioana was so pleasant and knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. She got to know each one of her guests and always made sure we were happy with her options for us at each stop. Her briefings were engaging. Secondly, our meal server - M_____, was extremely kind and hard-working. Constructive criticism: In order to allow more sightseeing time, serve breakfast and DINNER instead of lunch. We felt a bit shortchanged by the current dining schedule. Overall, it was a lovely way to spend a vacation! Thank you to all for making us feel comfortable and safe!!

- Liz, 09/10/2024 21:13, Travelled with Friend/s

This vacation was our second with Sail Croatia. Our group consisted of 12 ladies, aged between 40 - 63 years old. We had a fabulous week on board. The crew were friendly and hard-working. The chefs magically made delicious food for us all, particularly amazing when you consider the limited space available in the kitchen. The guide, Dino was very knowledgable and enthusiastic to share the joys of his country with us. Our fellow shipmates were wonderful, especially five ladies from Australia celebrating a 50th birthday. Croatia is a wonderful country in so many ways. If you’ve not been before, BOOK NOW!

- Fiona, 08/10/2024 08:30, Travelled with Friend/s

The staff were great on this trip, especially Ioana our guide! Food. On the ship was very good and plentiful. The captain adjusted our itinerary for the weather. We had options to join group activities and dinners. Only wish we had more time off the boat. This cruise would be difficult for someone with mobility issues-especially in lower cabins and needing to cross between boats at ports. We had daily swim stops in am.

- Lynne, 07/10/2024 14:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Dino and the crew when above and beyond. Had the best experience sailing around Croatia. Only negative thing I would say is the cabins need a mirror in them besides the bathroom. ( Suggest maybe a long length mirror inside cupboard door and a small hairdryer and Iron on deck)

- Helen , 07/10/2024 07:01, Travelled with Friend/s

The crew on The Almissa was amazing and professional! We were kept up to date on any changes to the itinerary and given great recommendations when in port. I loved being able to see Croatia this way!! It’s such a beautiful country with an extensive history. Being able to port in smaller cities was my dream and able to keep us out of huge crowds and overly touristy areas. I would sail with them again!!

- Jody, 06/10/2024 13:25, Travelled with Friend/s

Sailed from Split to Dubrovnik in August and the boat was great. Spacious rooms, great common areas and food was excellent. Lots of fun, great swim spots daily and lovely towns to visit in the afternoon. Also all staff were friendly and helpful. It was a fun week.

- Kristy, 04/10/2024 12:54, Travelled with Friend/s

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

We sailed on Almissa six years ago and came back to do it again as a group of 8 people in 2024 going in the reverse direction. It is honestly the best time and both times was a highlight of our trip to Europe. The sailing both times was smooth, weather was perfect and we loved exploring more at each of the stops. We enjoyed getting to know with the other guests with a mix of ages and nationalities. The food is a stand out and was exceptional. The airconditioned rooms are great (we went below deck both times as we felt quieter than on top). The crew were so friendly and a lot of fun and it was like leaving old friends by the time we left. The cruise from Dubrovnik to Split is very relaxing and is a great addition to your Euro Vacay. Highly recommend and you will not regret it.

- Vanessa, 03/10/2024 03:18, Travelled with Friend/s

Swim stops! I just loved swimming off the boat! Being with friends, exploring new places, feeling safe with a captain and crew who knew their stuff. Good food.

- Sara, 02/10/2024 17:42, Travelled with Friend/s

The ship was wonderful. It felt safe and solid and when we had some rough seas I was fine even though I’m prone to motion sickness. The crew were fabulous and I felt safe and looked after. All we had to do was ask. It was a very memorable trip. Met some lovely people on board who were of similar demographic and personalities. Thank you Sail Croatia!

- Liz, 01/10/2024 16:38, Travelled with Friend/s

Everything was excellent. Our cruise director Dino was top notch and went above and beyond. The crew were also very customer oriented and!very pleasant. The accommodation was very comfortable. The food was very good except we found the meats offered at lunch were always over cooked. Otherwise excellent breakfast with a good variety and and delicious desserts. We would definitely recommend this cruise to friends.

- Karen, 01/10/2024 09:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Lots of fun and good times Dino was an excellent director and took care of all our needs . The only improvement would be for the cooks as meat was overdone and dry on several occasions for lunches only, The breakfasts and the Captions Dinner were excellent though..

This was an amazing. Trip. The boat is absolutely beautiful and stunning. Beyond what I expected. I was nervous about the cabins as I don’t do any type of cruises and they are fabulous. Didn’t feel crammed at all! Always clean. Freshly turned down mid day. Buffet breakfast was always awesome. Lunches were hit or miss. But I’m a picky eater. The captain and his crew were great! Love that the boat has family history. Makes being on this boat even more special. And KLara!!! OMG. She made it so much fun. Our Coordinator. Team leader. She is a hoot!! And very very good at her job. Her communication skills at lunchtime to know what to expect for the day. And the skills via What’s app are impeccable. She gets back to you asap. I even got sick and she was right there trying to find Drs and pharmacy’s for me. We and especially me. Just love her!’10 stars for her ⭐️

Our who Sail Croatia team - and especially Vicko - made the trip fun, safe, organized, and an all-around EXCELLENT experience. Vicko's knowledge about activities, history, geography, etc. kept us well-informed, and his willingness to assist in planning our days was extremely helpful.

- Cindy, 30/09/2024 14:32, Travelled with Friend/s

Klara’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious. Every morning she had a spring in her step which set the tone for the entire cruise. She was very approachable and answered all questions and queries with a happy smile. The boat was clean and in good condition. Would have liked a little more time in port and less ‘swim’ time as the towns had a lot to experience. Would recommend Sail Croatia to my friends.

- Amanda, 30/09/2024 08:37, Travelled with Friend/s

I traveled across the world with my 7 best friends and can honestly say this was the best vacation we've ever taken. Our Salve de Mare ship was beautiful, clean, comfortable and the perfect size allowing a great mix of hanging with ourselves and getting to know wonderful people from all over the world. Food on board was top notch, the crew was warm, kind and fun-loving. Our guide Vicko went above & beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. Every destination on our Dubrovnik-Split itinerary was a place I would gladly revisit if given the chance. The combination of structure and flexibility built into the itinerary gave us the ability to go along for the ride some days, and create our own excursions other days, so it was a great balance. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough, our experience from start to finish was smooth and absolutely exceeded our expectations. I'm ready to sign up for another go!

- Lisa, 28/09/2024 23:45, Travelled with Friend/s

We booked on the Salve Di Mare from Split to Dubrovnik in Mid-Sept. The trip exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 10 from the US. From the first time we explored the ship to the hugs goodbye, we enjoyed every minute in between. The weather was in the mid 70s, so it wasn't the HOT week (which i'm thankful for) that we were expecting. We had a few swim stops, and with the cooler weather were able to explore the towns a bit more. The service was outstanding. Really top notch. Vicko our Rep was really great-attentive, funny, helpful and really made our cruise fun w/ tons of options. Marko & Nenanja were great waiters & bartenders - fun to chat with! Ana kept our rooms clean. Ivan, Mario and Nikola and of course, Cpt. Frane powered that beautiful ship like a small car! A couple things we wished we knew, there are hair dryers in every room. Bring a clothes line to hang your wet clothes, if the weather looks cool, bring a jacket and pants. GREAT TRIP! Salve di Mare was the best one!

- Laurie, 26/09/2024 23:16, Travelled with Friend/s

The Katrina, Sail-Croatia boat was absolutely beautiful from the inside out. This boat is family designed, built and owned operated. The family made us feel so welcomed, like we were part of their family, but always providing excellent & professional service. The food was amazing and so were the drinks. This boat was so clean, they were always cleaning something and one day I even saw the Captain washing down the decks. While on our tour a large storm disrupted our schedule and they rerouted to make our trip as perfect as it could be, making the best of mother nature inconvenience. Nicos, was our guide and even though he was new to this boat, you would never know it, as they were a perfect team. This was my maiden trip to Europe from the US and it was a dream come true.

- Kathy , 25/09/2024 19:00, Travelled with Friend/s

The cruise was a great way to see the islands, travel with our group of 10 friends & meet new friends. Our boat was very friendly and our group always sat with others and we felt like we got to know everyone on the boat. Swim stops were fun, even though weather was an issue a few days. Food was great, and Vicko did an amazing job with helping us plan activities, dinners, island information and just was just overall fun. Rest of staff & captain were friendly and worked hard the whole week. Comfortable cabins, beautiful boat, Salve di Mare

We recently sailed for a group 40th birthday celebration and had the trip of a life time! Can not say enough good things about our experience. This was an excellent way to explore many different places in Croatia. Our group stayed very active, but there were also opportunities to relax on board or at a beach nearby. Our Sail Croatia representative, Vicko, was key to a smooth trip. He met with us daily to go over our itinerary for that day and the next, give us a historical overview of the village/city we were about to explore, and was always there to answer questions or solve any unexpected problems that came our way. We also loved that we had the opportunity to make new friends with our fellow guests. Met people from all corners of the world! The boat never felt crowded, the rooms were comfortable, and food delicious. It will be hard to top this trip!

- Chrissie, 17/09/2024 21:17, Travelled with Friend/s

We embarked on a memorable journey aboard the Salve di Mare with friends to celebrate our 40th birthdays, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Our lower deck cabin (#13) impressed us with its double sinks and spacious layout. The boat itself was in impeccable condition, providing ample space for all 40 guests to unwind comfortably. Our Sail Croatia rep, Vičko, was exceptional—friendly, highly accommodating, and instrumental in helping us organize various excursions and dinner reservations. Bartender Marko also stood out, frequently engaging with our group and sharing valuable local insights at each stop. The cruise proved to be the ideal size, fostering genuine connections among passengers. As a discerning eater, I initially had concerns about the 3-course lunches, but the meals were consistently delicious, and I always left satisfied even if I skipped a course. I wholeheartedly recommend Sail Croatia and the Salve di Mare for an unforgettable cruising experience.

Katarina is a beautiful boat. We had such a great time.The Captain and crew were exceptional. The captain adjusted the itinerary around the weather so that it would least affect us.

Really enjoyed the pace of our small boat cruise on the Tempera, a great mix of swim stops, optional activities and time in port. The chefs onboard absolutely outdid themselves, every meal was delicious and big.... but had to eat it all as so good. A great bunch of travel companions and a friendly and helpful crew made this an experience to remember, I would highly recommend to anyone. Icing on the cake was Dino our tour director, super helpful and clear with suggestions, itinerary etc and a genuine nice guy. Thanks so much to the Sail Croatia team

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!

Friendly crew and clean boat. Itinerary had more swim stops than expected which was frustrating at 2 places. We should have asked and paid for tender rides to explore the towns longer. Felt like a waste of time. Not enough time in Hvar or Kumiža - definitely could have spent a full day exploring those towns. Bath towels are very thin and there is NO space in your cabin for large suitcases. Our carry-ons just fit under the bed - no idea where larger bags would go. Plenty of fresh water for showers but you need bottled water for cleaning your teeth. No frills but great way to see the Dalmatian Coast and explore the islands.

The crew of Katarina was beyond all expectations! They were always providing great service with unmatched kindness and professionalism. The boat was clean no matter what hour of the day or night. As we crossed over other boats in the harbor we realized how fortunate we were to have such an incredible boat and crew. We also had a fabulous tour guide - Niko’s. We all felt like family with mutual admiration and respect. I am forever grateful as it made our trip that much better. In gratitude, Linda Ireland

Tonka and Loana were great cruise leaders . They and the rest of the crew were very friendly and always available to answer questions and /or help in any way. They were also very flexible with regard to on-boat activities . The swim stops were beautiful and safe. The boat was steady .It was a wonderful way to explore the small islands along the Croatian coast. It was great that the bar was open to the wee hours. However, a more diverse cocktail menu is suggested.The wines were great. There were a few snags on the boat. E.g. intermittent unpleasant sulphur-like oder in the cabin. The cabin could use brighter lighting , especially in the bathroom. Also, I would suggest washable flooring in the cabins to make them less prone to mildew. The Sail Croatia experience was spectacular! I would do it again.

We had an amazing week sailing Croatia on our Explorer cruise. Our host, Vicko, was great and made our week so much fun. He was full of great knowledge, recommendations and brought a lot of fun and a great vibe to our boat. Despite weather circumstances impacting our route, sail Croatia did their absolute best to ensure we got the most out of our trip. Sail Croatia was a perfect way to see the beautiful country and our explorer cruise was a great way to have a relaxing, fun and adventurous week (whatever we wanted it to be) with friends. Thanks Vicko and to the entire sail Croatia team.

Came into the experience with an open mind and no expectations, from the moment our group boarded the ship until we finished the sail week, the staff, other guests and everything included made the whole week an experience i will never forget. Despite having an issue with the weather, the sail crew were accomodating and made the most of the circumstance by travelling to an island that wasn’t on the original itinerary. All the spots and swim stops were incredible and was very happy with each pause/stop on the trip to relax and jump in the ocean. A little more transparency on the experiences, especially the ATV in Korcula. For €60pp, the activity was definitely disappointing and rushed. A large group size and constantly stopping every 2-3 minutes made the experience less enjoyable, and the swim stop at the beach was roughly 30 minutes, but felt like 10 minutes. All in all i would definitely recommend sail Croatia to people that may ask about my trip. Thank you for your hospitality.
