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

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.

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.

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!

- Lee Goodall, 22/10/2024 06:07, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

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!

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

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.

- Patricia, 17/10/2024 05:35, Travelled with Friend/s

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

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

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!

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 !

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.

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.

Our sail week was probably one of the best weeks of my life. Seriously couldn’t have enjoyed it any more, it was a shame due to weather some of our activities were cancelled but it didn’t matter because we were all surrounded by such an amazing group of people. Loz was the best host! She looked out for us and and had fun with us. It wouldn’t have been the same if she wasn’t there!!! All the staff were amazing and I couldn’t recommend the sail week enough

The trip was exactly what I was hoping for! Very well organized; Ivan and Lucija looked after every detail, always with smiles and laughs. Croatia is beautiful and the roads we were cycling on were not too busy. We had the perfect amount of down time, time for swimming in the clear blue Adriatic Sea, time for exploring each island and time to get to know the other passengers. Thank you!

It was such a great group of people on this trip. We met people from all over the world. The boat and bike trip was fantastic. Ivan and Lucy were great guides. I really can’t say enough about them.

Thank you all for such great memories.

Sail was amazing. Islands did get to feel similar so 7 days got kinda long. 4-5 would be perfect imo. Captain was awesome! Recommend Dramamine for long sail days or windy days.

We rented a bareboat charter for one week and sailed across the islands near Split. The boat «Serenity» was very nice, clean, and well-equipped. We enjoyed a lot of Croatian nature and the weather! Although we caught bad weather for a few days, we stayed in the beautiful and calm Stary Grad marina and explored Hvar island. The guys from Sail Croatia are super nice and welcome! The check-in and check-out were quick and smooth. Highly recommend and definitely will come another time :-)

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!

The whole operation was so well organized and all of the staff were excellent and accommodating. Curtis who got me started on the booking was super responsive which is rare anymore. Lucia and Ivan were our guides and they were so informative, kind and made it so fun they were exceptional. Lucia the bartender, salon staff was so patient and always had a smile. I can’t say enough about the staff that you employ and experience that was created for all of us. Thank you!

Our guides, Ivan and Lucija were so much fun and arranged for some wonderful extras on this trip as well as ensuring our safety on the road and off. Lucija shared her knowlwdge about the history and culture of several of the areas we visited. through many stories and facts. A very enjoyable trip!!

Sail Croatia exceeded my expectations for a fun, relaxing, engaging and all around great experience in the Dalmatian islands. The crew was exceptional and attentive, serving up scenic bike tours, a ship with comfortable & clean accommodations, delicious meals, excellent restaurant & wine tasting suggestions, and a lighthearted atmosphere to make new friends with the other guests. The e-bikes were in mint condition and our guide, Marin, made sure the rides were scenic, fun, safe and added historical background for those interested. Our tour coordinator, Mila, was a delight, attentive to our needs and had great local knowledge & contacts. I couldn’t offer a higher recommendation for this trip!!

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)

Our sail/hike trip will be remembered as a favourite because of the people.

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!!

Had the best week ever. Perfect in all ways. Guides were so friendly and passionate and knowledgeable about their country.

After our Sail Croatia trip in 2023 I didn’t think this year’s could be any better. I was wrong!! The level of experience of Marin our lead on our bike rides and Ilona as our “caboose” made for a very well thought out, informative, safe and enjoyable day. The information shared was interesting and I felt that I gained an understanding of Croatian culture and history. Ilona planned dinners and excursion to a winery. Great that the places she chose were able to accommodate separate checks. Dinner and dessert recommendations were spot on. We took her up on a few.. Mario (aka Super Mario) welcomed us as repeat visitors as did our amazing Manager Ivan. It was a pleasure to meet his son Ilija, another great addition to the team. Our ship’s captain and our chef both shared the same name Ivica. Our captain was terrific and I felt confident that our safety was a priority, Chef- no words-only praise. His assistant Mate? did great too! The meals were the culinary highlight of our trip.

Captain, Luka, and Ivan kept us safe and going, Kristijana was so kind and helpful, and Andrej worked so hard making sure everything was served perfectly and with a smile. Chef Bane is a magician. Food was delicious and there was so much of it. What a crew! Special thanks to Ivica and Andro! I never dreamed of having so much fun biking and exploring Croatia. They were so fun! I have never met anyone who wanted to make sure my vacation was perfect s those two did! I hope to do this trip again in the future.

We sailed on Hound Dog as a private charter. There were 4 couples plus our captain and hostess. The trip was absolutely amazing. The boat was impeccable and had all the amenities you could possibly need (even a hair dyer) Our hostess Jo went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and prepared delicious meals that combined local flavors with our preferred foods. Our Captain Mickey created an absolutely stunning itinerary that maximize on the best weather and sailing conditions. We loved all the ports and had great dinner suggestion from our crew. The land crew was super helpful in helping us get on and off the boat. I also recommend using their airport transfers as it was an unexpected bonus of this trip. I absolutely recommend Sail Croatia! I hope everyone gets as lucky as we did with our amazing crew!

For us, great vacations combine beautiful surroundings , culture, activity and the chance to gather with old friends and new. Our time with Sail Croatia checked all those boxes. We joined the cycling cruise knowing only one other couple but left feeling like we many new friendships. The other cyclists were just one part of that. The ship’s crew was the added charm! Our tour guides Marin and Ilona took such good care of our experience! The safety measures were top notch & they truly cared about making sure we enjoyed the beauty of each island. We pedaled to quaint locations, sipped lattes on beaches & learned rich history. It was a perfect blend of activity & beauty. All the crew who managed the boat was incredible. Such care and pride was taken in creating a lasting memory. Mario, with his smiling face and humble service warmed my heart every morning, noon and night. His pride for his county & his work ethic should be a Masterclass offering. .A 5 star experience in every way!

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.

What a fantastic week of sailing and cycling between the beautiful islands of Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik. There is no better way to see this part of the world. Our cycling guides Ivica and Andro made this experience outstanding right from explaining in detail the route we were taking every day to discussing the history of the many stops we made along the way. They made the week so much fun! The size of the group was perfect and the staff were amazing. Andrej and the entire on deck crew made sure we had great meals, safe docking in every port and comfortable surroundings. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia if you are looking for a fabulous holiday.
