Many thanks to Dora and the Crew of Almissa. A hugely enjoyable cruise, great yoga sessions by Dora with stunning swim stops as we travelled the coast and islands of Croatia. A lot of fun too! Beautiful islands and ports to explore, with the help of Dora’s top tips we had a great holiday and would throughly recommend.

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!

Our Skipper Duje was wonderful. His excellent sailing experience and regular 'check-ins' to see how we were all doing made for a very relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable week of sailing in beautiful Croatia! I was very nervous about being 'out there on the high seas' but with Duje's confidence in his skills and putting our safety and well being as being the #1 focus each day, I soon felt calm. Our hostess Nola, was lovely and we really appreciated her talent to cook delicious meals! We would definitely recommend Sail Croatia and especially engaging Duje to Skipper a Charter. Warm regards Jenny and Terry

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.

Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.

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!

My husband and I booked a 7 night cruise on the Libertine for our 20th wedding anniversary. Our skipper was Linda and she was amazing! The whole week was perfect, minus some weather scares. Each island was so stunning. Wineries, great food and super nice people. I could do this every year!!
- ashley, 16/09/2024 13:53, Travelled with Family
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!

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!

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.

My family and I were just on Sundance with the fabulous skipper Jack Sparrow. From the moment we stepped on board Jack made us feel so welcome, he was very helpful, insightful and wonderful to deal with. We were warned about upcoming bad weather and he went out of his way to make sure we were safe and happy the whole time. The whole experience was just incredible and I would highly recommend both Jack and Sail Croatia to anyone who wants to see Croatia in its prettiest form. We went to lots of islands and bays throughout the week. Loved it so much!! Thanks Sail Croatia and Jack!!

I could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The crew were wonderful, especially the guest co-ordinator Karolina. The boat is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The ports we visited were beautiful and each offered a unique experience. The daily swim stops were stunning and really made each day wonderful. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.

Great way to see the islands and the cycling is challenging. Cabin is very comfortable. Crew were extremely helpful and friendly. Guides were very engaging. Definitely recommend this if you come to Croatia.

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

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.

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)!

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!!

Our captain, Marko, was brilliant. He quickly understood where we have been on previous trips and our priorities for this trip. All the stops planned were fantastic whether beautiful tranquil fishing ports or “wild” moorings in turquoise bays. The snorkling was some of the best I have experienced in the Mediterranean and Marko even managed to include an intro scuba dive for my son which he loved. Marko booked all the restaurants and they were all first class. We sampled an amazing array of fish and seafood. Now we are contemplating the next time we can return to this beautiful country and will try to get the same captain if we do as he was integral to our wonderful experience.

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.

Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best weeks I had traveling through Europe. Tour manager Dino was absolutely fantastic at his job, he was super informative and looked out for everyone on the boat no matter what. The crew were very attentive and always made sure we were well fed and looked after. I couldn't recommend this type of holiday travel more!

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. ❤️

The itinerary, staff, accommodation and food were all great. The staff were very helpful and accommodating my gluten free diet. Visiting 4 islands was great. The option to have ebikes was good - especially in the heat. The organising of the sailing, where we stopped and the routes we covered on the bikes - were all very well planned out and explained to us every day in detail. The staff were very friendly. Had a fab holiday. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia

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. : (

From a click on google to a fabulous experience. Combining cycling with a cruise gives you the best of both. Explore the islands on bicycles allows you to see so much more of what a Croatia has to offer. The vessel, guides, crew and food were all excellent

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.

Our EOS boat was so great because of the crew we had! They were all so super friendly and helped us with anything we needed! Sasa was our main best friend who we got along with so well, he helped us out when needed, toured us through the towns and recommended good places to eat/ party. Lucy made the best drinks ever and was great to have a conversation with. We always felt safe with the crew and were very well looked after. By far one of the best times I’ve had on my trip! You’re the best Sasa and crew and we will miss you all 😭

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.

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!

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!

This was our first time on a sailing holiday and it certainly won't be our last. Everything was perfect including the comfort and cleanliness of the boat, the organisation from Sail Croatia but most importantly our most amazing skipper whose knowledge meant that we always felt safe and looked after.. We moored in beautiful bays and swam in the turquoise sea, we visited various islands and fell completely in love with Croatia. A perfect holiday for a family of 5 with 3 grown up children aged 21, 19 and 15. Just amazing!!

My sister and I had a week on sail and it was absolutely insane! Everything we expected and more. Our host Lola was just divine- she was super knowledgeable, friendly and organised.

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!

Everything about our Elegance Cruise on Olimp was 5 star with wonderful staff, dining and ship facilities. The swim platform on our boat was the best we saw in Croatia. Wouldn’t hesitate to return on another trip.

For the price that you pay which is quite exorbitant I don’t think this experience lives up to the cost or the hype. While the crew and the staff on board as well as the guide are absolutely lovely and the service was great the boat is old, creaky and smelly.. The air-conditioning barely worked and people complained non-stop about the Aircon not working. There were no fans even on deck which are desperately needed to combat the unbearable European summer heat. Unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations and certainly not to the reviews I’ve seen on site. The boats need full renovations and need to be fully updated in order for them to be able to get a higher rating.
- Nikki , 25/08/2024 14:46, Travelled Solo
Thank you for your review - we’re pleased to hear that you found our crew, staff, and service to be excellent. However, we regret to learn that the boat did not meet your expectations. We maintain a high rating of 4.7/5 stars for this departure, and our internal reports did not indicate any air-conditioning issues raised by yourself or any other guest. We encourage guests to raise any concerns with our Onboard Rep so we can address them swiftly. For transparency, we provide detailed imagery and information about each of our Explorer ships on our website to help guests make an informed decision about their accommodation. We appreciate your input and comments as we continue to enhance our services.
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
