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!

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.

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!

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.

The people. If you want some fun in the sun while exploring the culture and beauty of Croatia book yourself in as soon as you can!

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)!

This was one of the highlights of my travels in Europe! I went on this trip solo and it was one of the best weeks of my life, so much fun partying and meeting new people! 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!!

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. ❤️

I was on the Dalvin and my tour manager was Jess. It was just a fun trip that exceeded my expectations! The crew worked hard and were attentive, and Jess was knowledgeable and accommodating to make the trip great for each person. I am so glad I went on this trip and am excited about the connections I have made with everyone on the boat!

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. : (

My week was amazing. The crew was 10/10. Loved the sailors, Captain, and server. I felt very well taken care of by them. Lauren our guide was knowledgeable abt all our stops. She always brought the vibes and made sure everyone had fun. I would definitely recommend.

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.

Marin and the crew gave us the most amazing week on board the Pacific. The energy was unmatched and we had so much fun. Couldn’t recommend the navigator Premium enough! The rooms were a great size and so much room on the boat for all 40 of us.

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!

I had such an enjoyable time on board the navigator ship! In particular our guide Emma was exceptional! Super helpful, knowledgeable and bubbly, she kept the vibes high the whole week. We really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. My above deck room was good and food awesome. Loved the amazing daily swim stops

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!

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

As a solo traveller I was really nervous doing this by myself, but within the first hour it felt like I had known these people for my whole life. Our rep Saša, was absolutely amazing. He had so much knowledge about all the places we visited and helped us in absolutely any situation we found ourselves in. Same goes for Bruno, he was the life of the party, always down to have fun and make conversation. All in all it was such an amazing week that honestly couldn’t have gone any better.

Our tour guide Ivana was exceptional - energetic, well organised and informative - she also took the time to get to know us all which in turn helped to bond the group - I boarded as a solo traveller but soon that was forgotten and friends were made. The boats facilities were excellent, modern, clean and fresh. We enjoyed delicious food, the crew were attentive and worked hard to make our trip enjoyable but were also so much fun. ! Highly recommended !!!

Everything about this trip was better than I could have hoped for. The boat, the cabins and amenities were excellent. But what made it extra special were the dedicated team onboard who went out of their way to make our holiday a memorable occasion. The cooking was superb, the team serving us were amazing, the captain and crew the best. The swim stops each day were a big highlight and a magical experience. The islands each had their own charm. I felt so well looked after on this holiday. Another bonus was the great mix of similar age groups on the boat. I would definitely recommend this boat and team. A special callout to our Tour Manager, Ioana, who made it all happen, incredible co-ordination and management skills plus a charming personality to match. Great job Ioana and team. Thank you, Sail Croatia, until next time!

I have wanted to do sail Croatia for a while and decided this was the year. When I first booked, I was worried I was too old and thought as a solo 31 year old female, I wouldn’t find like minded people or get along with the people on the boat. Boy was I wrong. It was the most amazing tour, not only because of the group I was on the boat with but the entire crew, especially our tour guide Marin. Marin was so down to earth, real, no bullshit, most helpful and kind person. He was always there to help in anyway he could and he went above and beyond to make sure our 7 days was the most enjoyable. The crew on board was also so playful and energetic, always wanting to make sure we were having an enjoyable time. This trip was something I will never forget and something I will tell people to experience for themselves!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a sailing trip with Sail Croatia, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warm smiles and an infectious energy from the entire crew. Our host, Sanja, truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and at ease. The rest of the crew was equally incredible, always ready with a laugh and food was really good! As a solo traveller it was perfect. I can confidently say that this trip surpassed all my expectations. Thank you xx

Everything!!! Tour, Crew, Food and Safety Achieved!!! Marija was such a beautiful person who was professional. She was informative, helpful and authentic in her dealings with people. A brilliant tour guide. All the grew members were fabulous and interacted professionally and authentically. You could feel their passion for Croatia and their care for their passengers. Our group of people all interacted and mixed well together.. The itinerary worked well for the 7 nights. Each island was unique in themselves. The swim stops were refreshing, fun, relaxing and enable people to socialise too I found the Tempera to be a great boat and I liked the layout. The top sun deck allowed you to socialise with chit chat, relax in the shade or get a suntan. The middle deck provided another area to socialised or unwind. I felt that the cabin I was in had a lot of room to move about and I enjoyed being above deck. The food was delicious!!!

Where do I start. The ship, the cruise director, the staff , the food the tours available and the wonderful passengers. This trip will be won of my more memorable ones even though the airline I flew with lost my luggage and had to buy my essentials before we set sail. It did not spoil the amazing time I had even as a solo traveller. Will highly highly recommend Sail Croatia. 10 points. If I could score more i would. Aussie from Sydney
