We were a group of friends (8) who joined Sail Croatia for the Dubrovnik to Split 7 day cruise. The cabins were comfortable, the bathroom more spacious than the normal cruise ship. With only 40 people onboard I was concerned that we would be in each others pockets. There is more than enough space onboard to ensure you can read a book quietly if you want. The staff on our cruise (Salve de Mere) were supurb, from the maid throufg to the Captain, we were all in excellent hands. I loved the fact that we docked in small ports each night so we could enjoy local restaurants and bars. Each morning we stopped for a swim...as it was late season a few of us decamped to the jaquizzi where we had pre lunch cocktails...great fun! Each afternoon we were given options of excursions we could take, from walking and exploring, to bike rides and wine tasting. I would probably give the Buggies a miss as you travel in convoy at about 20kms per hour...very boring and a waste of money..

What an adventure! Sailing on the Olimp was fantastic. First, the cruise leader, Ioana. Wow. Dynamic, organized, fun. Not sure the cruise would have been the same without her leading the way. The ship itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful to make sure all our needs were met. Beautiful destinations and fun history tours. Even though we were traveling with friends, the new friends we made helped make things even better. Would be happy to go again.

Wonderful ship and crew were very accommodating.

The ship, Olmp, was immaculate and the crew always helpful. With only 36 passengers the experience was very personal and we were fortunate to have a very interesting and homogenous group . The meals served were all delicious but the service was a little too efficient for me. I prefer a slower pace while eating. The only meal that I would avoid n the future is the so called "BBQ". Definitely not up t the chefs usually high standards. The Sail Croatia cruise is a great way to sample all that Croatia has to offer. Our cruise director, Ioana, added another dimension to our touring experience. We all had a wonderful and educational experience on the cruise

Our group of six experienced an amazing week of beautiful scenery and wonderful people. We had 26 other tourists from six countries, and we all enjoyed each other's company. The tour guides -- Miranda and Tonka -- made it all happen. From the start, they encouraged mingling. They challenged us with the rides, and they engaged us with their stories. Super memorable trip. Pomalo!

Ivice and Anita did a fantastic job planning our cycling activities, telling us about the various towns and their highlights, and providing considerable assistance with restaurants, additional experiences, and answering innumerable questions. They were SO customer focused and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The ship's crew was similarly helpful - from Captain Ivan's thoughtful route updates to keep us in good weather to Paola's friendly service in the galley/bar and Olga's attention to detail in keeping our cabins clean and comfy. The meals were tasty and nutritious, and the e-bikes were new and very effective at assisting us up the sometimes steep inclines. This was a great way to see the Croatian islands - highly recommend!

- Bill, 17/10/2024 16:05, Travelled with Friend/s

Not only was the location - scenery, natural beauty, food etc. - memorable, the way the biking tours were planned and the exceptional guides - Ivica and Anita - were a major part of this amazing trip. I can’t say enough about the friendliness and the warmth both demonstrated. It’s line all of us made new friends. They were an integral part of the fun we had. I wouldn’t mind doing the trip over again but only with these 2.

- Arvind, 16/10/2024 21:01, Travelled with Friend/s

A great way to see the little towns on the islands of Croatia. We were very pleased with the yacht. Our skipper sim was awesome and made us feel comfortable. Very easy going and knew what she was doing.

Every aspect of the cruise was great: the ship, the itinerary and of course the staff, especially Ioana, the representative from Sail Croatia. Lots of great memories and pictures!

- Steve, 15/10/2024 02:14, Travelled with Friend/s

We researched well and glad we did - it was well worth it. We selected the Katarina with Sail Croatia. The booking process was simple and efficient. We had the assurance the vessel we selected would be the one we sailed on. To our pleasant surprise, the vessel and crew exceeded our high expectations. Overall, between bareboat charter and cruise ships, this is the right size boat, right size crew and right size of guests. That we could tie up every night and free to come and go without water ferry made it extra special - like yachting. Very pleased and we highly recommend Katarina and her crew with Sail Croatia.

Great Staff member who made it really enjoyable, boat was clean and we got a free upgrade which we wrapped with.

- Kyle, 14/10/2024 09:55, Travelled with Friend/s

Cycling is a fantastic way to see the beautiful scenery of the Croatian coast and islands. E-bikes make it easy and being based on a boat means you don't have to re-pack every night. The crew were fantastic; cheerful and helpful at all times. Our fellow passengers were also great - I guess self selecting for an activity based trip. Our cabin was small but clean and comfortable - with a bit of engine noise in the bottom of the boat. Food on the boat was plentiful and fresh, if a little basic. We loved the trip and are trying to decide which route to do next.

- Richard, 14/10/2024 08:06, Travelled with Friend/s

The staff, the food, the itineraries, the tours and the beautiful and spacious rooms made this cruise a number 10 in our book. We needed for nothing. It was very organized, clean and the food and service was excellent. Would highly recommend it as a must do. Thanks to the staff members. We appreciate all your hard work. Paul and Lorraine

Put Sail-Cycle Croatia on your must do bucket list. One of the best holidays imagineable if you enjoy stunning aquamarine water, breathtaking island scenery and great food & wine... with some exercise (ebiking) adventures thrown in. The Sail Croatia crew were friendly & attentive to everyones needs. Our 2 tour guides (Dora & Lucia) were simply brilliant - professional, informative and humourous. Do yourself a favour - book a Sail-Cycle Croatia tour for some unforgetable experiences.🌞✨️❤️ Dugald & Julie

The crew was fantastic. Very friendly and accommodating. We were kept informed on a daily meeting about changes and weather situations concerning our travels. V our guide was great, suggesting restaurants and other things about the Croatia people. I would choose to do this trip again. It was a vacation of a lifetime! Most people were not happy that coffee couldn't be have after 9:00 am.

- Rick, 10/10/2024 17:24, Travelled with Friend/s

Our tour hosts Ivan and Lucija were wonderful hard working guides. Thanks. Lucy and the rest of the kitchen staff were amazing. Thanks. The ship, crew and captain were amazing. Thanks. To be at a beautiful Croatian port, on the Adriatic sea in the morning and not allowed to have any type of coffee on the ship till 7:30 is a sad fact.

- Rob, 09/10/2024 16:36, Travelled with Friend/s

A great adventure with a great on board crew and cycle leaders. Cycling was challenging and scenery was fantastic. A couple of small things that could have made the trip even better. Cabins - they are small as expected and it would have helped to have lots of hooks on the walls to hang clothing on. Shower curtains were too short which meant there was water all over the bathroom floor after showering. Biking - My wife's bike broke down twice and there did not seem to be a good backup plan in place for replacement or repair while out cycling. The group was split up once and half the group went the wrong direction at an intersection. Still a great trip and it deserves a 5 star rating.

- Larry, 08/10/2024 16:52, Travelled with Friend/s

Staff was great. Especially Klara and Pamela. We enjoyed the swim stops and island stops. The meals were so so too much fish for my liking. They’ve in our room didn’t work for 1/2 the week. The tours were great, Capains dinner/dance and wine tours as well I would include gratuity in the price and/or arrange for credit card payments for on board liquor purchases for some people I spoke to were surprised they needed so much euros at the end of the trip which may have an effect on gratuity’s We would highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone that asks us

Couldn't recommend it enough! The crew were great, loved to have a joke and always had a smile on their faces. Couldn't have asked for a better rep, Lozza was so welcoming, fun, imformative, and always knew the best places to eat and drink! Can also do a pretty good cartwheel. Think she needs a raise.

Lots of great people on this trip including two great guides and the ships crew. The biking was challenging and fun though 32 people are rather a lot to organize. The boat was not as good as we hoped, but probably our fault as we thought we had gone premium plus rather than premium. Cabins were very small and the food was OK but not great.

- Peter, 02/10/2024 23:12, Travelled with Friend/s

We loved the style of ship and destinartions. Our skipper Ana and host Danijel are so knowledgable and fun. We trusted them to take us to beautiful places and to show us a great time, and they delivered -- BIG TIME! The eight of us sailing on Kingfisher had what many described as the best vacation ever -- with brilliant meals, days of swimming and learning a little about the places we visited. Thanks so much! We'll make sure to try it all again ASAP!

We began every morning at 7 for breakfast. By 8:15 the bikes were waiting for us on the dock beside our boat. We rode through fabulous scenery, mountains down to the Adriatic, vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages. Coffee break in a cafe, then riding back to the boat for a great lunch. Generally, then it was off to the next island. We stopped a couple times for a swim on the way. After docking, we walked into the village for wonderful Croatian dinners. Sleep, repeat. Small adventures all day. Excellent leaders in Marin and Ilona who provided guidance and history. Couldn't have been better.

We travelled Split to Dubrovnik on the Mali Ante on a sail/cycle. The boat is great, cabins were comfortable and the boat was clean and well maintained. The crew were excellent, they did their jobs very well, with a smile, and were always helpful. Our cycling guides, Marin and Ilona, were fantastic. Safety was a priority which we appreciated, but they also went out of their way to be helpful and informative. Despite some bad weather, we had a great trip.

- Malcolm, 28/09/2024 16:12, Travelled with Friend/s

I think our leader Toma is who and what made my week. He had his back up against the wall with bad weather and having to change plans to try keep us as happy as possible. We had a few antisocial people on our trip that tried ruining it for everyone, but he made sure not to let that happen. He was fun to hang out with and really knew what he was doing. The boat crew were also great people and special shoutout to Dino for pouring those drinks a little bit extra strong for us lads. I would recommend this trip to every single one of my friends back home and ask them to personally request Toma.

Myself, along with two of my friends were onboard “Penelopa” for a week and any expectations that we had about anything were quickly exceeded. We were greeted by Elena, our representative for the week, and she was phenomenal. Everything from knowing the ins and outs of each activity including the ones that she would personally recommend, to ensuring that everyone on the boat was going alright and enjoying themselves. The food on sail Croatia was incredible. Our charismatic chef George along with being really friendly and easy to talk to, is an incredible cook and definitely exceeded any expectations we had about the food. The bar on our boat was headed by Charli, a man that worked around the clock to make sure that everyone on board had a great time, and succeeded in every aspect. From helping out at lunch to pouring drinks deep into happy hour, this man did it all, and with a smile on his face. Would highly recommend and will definitely be doing again.

My partner and I and a friend sailed the 7 day cruise with Deano and crew. The complete trip was great and Deano helped with advice, guidance and recommendations for the trip. Everything this he advised was spot on and we could not ask for any more. Deano even assisted to locate and track our lost luggage and have it delivered to the boat. Could not recommend more and would like to sail again in future, Eoin Australia

Best way to see Croatia by Boat and Bike. Biking tge islands on ebikes is the only way to go!!! Fantastic. Staff and Crew were awesome. Food was Great. Chef was awesome and full of exuberance. I only downgraded to 4 stars due to Cabin comfort. Need better air circulation and climate control for sleeping.

- John, 23/09/2024 10:06, Travelled with Friend/s

I was very happy with the tour. The crew was happy going and all operations were smooth, The guides were well qualified, engaged and expressed kindness towards the the guests every day of the tour. Indeed a very good experienced, the second time I go with Sail Croatia in the beautiful area. My suggestions are: 1) Slow down the bike tours, make more brief stops to enjoy the splendor of nature. 2) Make the diet more in accordance with environmental and dietary recommendation (less meat, more vegetables and fruits). Furthermore, take measures to reduce food wast. As a first step, measure the food waste on board and calculate how much it costs. 3) Express your concern for nature in the selections of all materials and operation; including detergents, sorting of waste, motor efficiency; even the use of sails when possible. 4) Improve considerably the quality of the coffee you serve. For many people a good cup of coffee makes even a rainy day bright and sunny.
