We had a fabulous time on the Esperanza. The boat is very spacious (the rooms are bigger than those mega cruise ships). The facilities in the room are clean and the water pressure surprisingly strong. All the included food was varied and very tasty and we loved the organzied outcomings such as the Stari Grad Village dinner which was incredible. The onboard staff was fantastic and special Kudo's to Mia the tour organizer and Antonio in the restaurant/bar. The whole tour is a great way to see Croatia.

We cruised aboard the Katarina in September 2024 on the Split-Dubrovnik return voyage. We toured some gorgeous countryside and visited quaint Croatian villages. The family crew was wonderful and our cruise director Nico was exceptional. Our cruise was altered slightly due to turbulent weather. The captain, crew, and cruise director navigated the challenges beautifully which ultimately resulted in a much better experience than if we had stayed on the original itinerary. We enjoyed the trip of a lifetime. Thank you!

Good boat. Vicko is excellent. Great food. Marko & Nemanja were great. Lucky with a great group of passengers. Not so much with the weather Negatives/Room for improvement: Coffee machine & charging for coffee in the afternoon. Cash economy is a bit tiresome. Korcula day is too crowded with activities- not enough time in the island.

Honestly , the entire trip was made 10/10 by Davor. I have done other sails also in other countries and nothing has come close to the experience by Davor. Everything went extremely smooth and I always felt safe and taken care of. Nothing was forced and Davor helped me with legit every single question I had. I would recommend popping Davor on every single boat if you could. He was able to fit right in but also cool off when our group needed it. Couldn’t recommend him enough as a guide as he made the difference between every sail I’ve done so far. Thanks guys

Another wonderful cruise on the Queen Jelena. The boat was as beautiful as last time, as were the crew, the food and the Croatian Islands. Organisation was impeccable, and our host, Vedran, was attentive, knowledgeable and very good company.

Marin and Ilona our hosts and guides. Not just bike rides but a learning experience. All of the ships crew were wonderful, friendly and helpful. Great staff makes all the difference.

The organisation from the moment we booked was first class, all questions answered within 48 hrs max. Just prior to travelling you send a detailed pack of information that covered everything. On arrival at the boat again was erything was organised. Everyone was immediately welcoming. The welcome dinner broke the ice. From then on we had the the best holiday the crew were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. Marin and Ilona were very knowledgeable and entertaining. Any issues with bike etc they sorted quickly. The rides were spectacular. We were lucky to have a mix of people that allowed the group to move quite quickly. All the boat stops were gorgeous with great restaurant's. We had some weather issues but everyone on board worked hard to come up with alternatives to keep us cycling. The boat was perfect it never felt crowded, the captain did everything he could to maintain the schedule despite the weather. The two chefs work miracles excellent food every day.

Our cycling guides were superb as a team. (Anita and Josko). They worked off one another like a pro team! Cycling was the highlight with well planned routes allowing for both challenging riding and views to die for! On board crew were friendly and accommodating! Food was good and plenty for the exercise we were getting! Loved the boat! Well set up for the 32 persons on board! Croatia and the islands are best kept secrets! Loved everything. Best time we have had over a week in Europe!

The team at sail Croatia have been amazing. The tour director Miranda couldn’t help us enough. She is sail Croatia in our eyes. The information and knowledge was exceptional. The bikes were very well maintained. The deck crew cooks and captain were diligent and very friendly. The trip planning gave us everything we wanted and more. Thank you team Columbo

Had an unforgettable week on the tvrdi ship. Met some absolute legends of people and had such a good time with them all. I want to give a massive Thankyou to Marin, without him the trip wouldn’t have been near what it was. He went above and beyond and made sure everyone was having fun and was looked after. Tommy in the bar was an awesome bloke and the rest of the crew were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Had so much fun with our Sail Croatia gang. I’m 31 but I never felt too old and everyone got along very well. Marin was a great host and always made sure we were taken care of. Tommy the bartender is the man and always provided phenomenal service with a smile on his face and “My love”. So much fun for social people. I went into it apprehensive about the amount of partying, but the crew we were with were sure to pull out the 20 year old in me. This type of cruise might be a little intimidating for introverted people or people who don’t like to party, since you are in a party boat with the same people for a week, but if you’re a social party person this cruise is perfect for you.

Our cycling trip with Sail Croatia was an adventure of a lifetime. Everything about the trip was perfect starting with our amazing guides, Mila and Marin, and the ship’s crew. The accommodations on the boat were very comfortable, the food was abundant and delicious, and each island’s cycling itinerary was thoughtfully planned and provided stunningly beautifully rides. We loved it!

My partner and I had a fantastic week doing the Split Return South trip on board Mali Ante. The breakfast and lunches provided were delicious, with each of the ports providing their own unique charm for an afternoon of exploring. Klara our guide was extremely helpful and enabled us to get the most out of the holiday.

We visited some great islands all of which had a different experience and activity to participate in if we wanted to . The Captain , crew and our host were amazing and nothing was too much trouble . The facilities on the boat were great with more than enough space for people to relax . This was our first ever cruise and I believe we have started with the best as I don’t believe any other would come close . I must also say the other guests from all different walks of life and country’s also plaid a big part in making an unforgettable week . Highlight of the week for us was the Captains dinner with live musicians encouraging all of us to join in with songs that we all knew !

We had a memorable time on this Elegance cruise. with Sail Croatia. The fellow passengers, the crew and our guide, Carolina all added to our very enjoyable experience.. Esperanza is well equipped, clean and comfortable with excellent food. The places we visited and the swim stops were all brilliant. Would certainly do it again.

Great variety of stops along the coast and islands - well picked Great swim stops, captan picked small secluded bays with wonderful clear blue waters to completely relax in. Outstanding coordinator Dino, can't say enough about his wealth of knowledge and ability to get things done for you. He responds quickly to all of your inquiries. Breakfast buffet has a bit of everything and is fine for your stay. Marco working the bar is always very helpful and a joy to chat with. All of the other staff were great to work with, some have limited english so be patient with them. ..... .... ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This was one of those holidays that ticked all of my boxes, the itinerary was amazing, the overnight stays allowed us to see a different side to the locations and enjoy everything a location add to offer. The crew and guides play a huge part of any holidays and these guys were probably the best of the best. The ship was very good although our cabin had a small issue with a water leak and a bit of a damp smell, this however was the only issue with my whole holiday. The people we met, good fortune rather than planned were all brilliant, and together they contributed to our brill cycling holiday. The cycling was a great way to see the locations, the guides provided great local knowledge and history which added to the enjoyment. This holidays left me wanting more, it also raised the bar for group type activity holidays and I am not sure how to top this Sail Croatia Cycling Holiday.

The tour director (Dino) was SO PERSONABLE and really went out of the way to make every passenger feel special.

I would highly recommend this cruise, this boat, our tour director (Dino), and Sail Croatia to everyone I know - this was a magical vacation!!

I enjoyed the small number passengers 31 on our trip. This enabled as all to get to know one another. Of course the islands are beautiful and the cycling is very doable on ebikes. Food on board was way better than I thought we would get. Almost to much sometimes. Not a negative though. The crew were great, they work long days and we're always kind and ready to help. Thankyou Mali Luka and crew.

This is the best way to see the islands! Once we started on the trip, we realized trying to do a ferry to each island would’ve been too much. Marija was a fantastic host!! We had a great group of people. The crew was awesome and lively! The only recommendations I have are: 1. Shorten lunch and make it a sandwich spread/finger food. Lunch was long and it cut into swim and sun time. No need for a 3 course meal for lunch. 2. Vela Luka is the night we should have done the captains dinner instead of Stari Grad. Vela Luka had the least amount of restaurants. Also, Stari Grad was a really neat town and would’ve liked to have eaten dinner in the town instead of the boat. The Captain’s dinner was great, but would have been better if it would have been in Vela Luka. Amazing trip overall!! Thanks!!

My wife and I and 17 other couples rented the MS Katarina for 8 days and 7 nights. The experience was one of a life time. The captain and his family own the boat and take meticulous care of the boat and the customers. Exceeded our expectations hands down! Our cruise director, Nikos was one of the best. He took care of every detail while on the water or in port. From excursions, restaurants, Ubers to directions. Nikos and the Katarina staff were spot on and we would recommend them to anyone who is considering this wonderful experience.

I had such a fun time on board or authentic boat ‘kapetan jure’ the crew on board were so nice and helpful! Our boat was a little on the older side but the cleanliness was still at a high standard. It’s the crew and passengers that really make it though. The chefs cooked us the most amazing lunches and sometimes I was rolling out the dining room haha. Our group of passengers were such a nice bunch of likeminded people and we have definitely made some friends for life. Our sail Croatia rep was a local Croatian called sanja and she was incredible at her job! Every day giving us honest recommendations on which excursions were the best. The best food, ice cream, bars ect on each island. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time, even organising party busses to take us to the clubs at night! Would highly recommend sail Croatia to anyone and would advise that they ask for their rep to be sanja. She made the trip phenomenal!

Amazing location -- we island-hopped the whole week and swam in crystal clear waters every day! We were also amazed at the great food we got at all of our stops. Sail Croatia supported us very well through the whole trip, from the booking and boat briefing all the way through to boat check-in. Would totally do this again!

The boat and crew were fantastic as was the scenery of the islands and coastline of Croatia. The best part was being able to get off the boat and hike to peaks or points of interest every day. We saw so much more of Croatia than we would have had we not selected the Sail & Hike trip with Sail Croatia. Thoroughly recommended!!

We had such a fun time on Sail Croatia. Everything was taken care of for us, and all we had to do was wake up and explore Croatia. Our host Sanja was amazing, and had heaps of recommendations to eat and things to do. She made the experience so much better and was super friendly and helpful! Thoroughly recommend doing this week, just bring lots of cash as it is a cash dominant society (and drinks are expensive).
