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!

So well organised and great service from all the team throughout the trip.

I have done a lot of travelling. This is one of the best trips I have ever been on. The boat, staff, food and staff were excellent. The key to the trip was Ivan and Lucy as group leaders. They did an excellent job and worked together very well. It was obvious that they had spent considerable time the previous evening organizing events for the following day. They were always very upbeat and made a point of socializing with us during. Ivan was a great bike leader. He ensured our rides were as safe as possible. He was very helpful when people had trouble with their bikes. He was a good first aider when there were minor injuries (the accidents were not his fault). He organized a special trip at the request of one of our group. Lucy did a very good job with presentations during our various rides. She also ensured that everything was done safely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with intermediate biking skills, as long as the group leaders were Ivan and Lucy.

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!

A well organised week with a lovely boat and great crew. Our cabin was clean and tidy and the food was plentiful. Rides were challenging and well organised. We spent time with friends and met plenty of new ones. A great bunch of people onboard.

- Mike, 17/10/2024 07:46, Travelled in a Couple

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

Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.

- Brendan, 15/10/2024 19:15, Travelled with Family

All the people on board, especially Ivica and Anita made this trip a memorable one. There was nothing that they could not find solutions for. Ivica and Anita you are the best

- Kristján, 14/10/2024 08:19, Travelled in a Couple

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

Ivica and Anita are what makes Croatia great! Warm Welcomes, Safe and on schedule planning. Informed and endearing. You will enjoy the rides but we think you will love the people even more. Excellent communication throughout the trip, including when plans needed to pivot for our best enjoyment. Interested in feedback I can only imagine each year trips with them will get better and better. They are pros.

- Chris, 14/10/2024 07:49, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful itinerary, staff and crew, bikes, and food. Could not have had a better time. Thanks you Sail Croatia.

- Mark, 14/10/2024 05:37, Travelled in a Couple

The whole setup was just what I hoped Accommodation was comfortable/worked well The crew could not have been more helpful Both the Team leaders were clearly very experienced. They were delightful people to deal with always a watchful eye on our safety, and being flexible and adaptable I have been very impressed with Sail Croatia and I’ll be back (Different route next time !)

- John, 11/10/2024 19:32, Travelled in a Couple

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

- Dugald & Julie, 11/10/2024 12:23, 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

My first time with Sail Croatia and the experience was five star.. Our guides Mila and Marin were excellent. Marin gave clear briefings and described exactly how the rides would be and ensured the safety of all members of the group at all times. Mila showed an excellent knowledge of the areas we were visiting and gave us great information on WhatsApp about options and places to visit when we were onshore. The onboard crew were friendly and helpful, Nino and Nicoletta service at the bar and during meals was excellent, while the kitchen and sailing crew were very good and went about their business with the highest level of professionalism. Captain Marte made us feel that we were in good hands and safety, even when the weather got a bit rough. A first class expereince and fully recommended

- Henare, 08/10/2024 10:20, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent crew on the boat and very helpful and efficient representatives.

- Alan, 07/10/2024 14:29, Travelled in a Couple

The food. No need for a 3 course meal at lunchtime. How about a salad type buffet. Anyway, the quality of the food left much to be desired(too stodgy. Breakfast hot food wasn’t kept warm Cabin was good, especially the shower No swimming spots as advertised Sail Croatia staff excellent, crew not so Bicycling very good. Excellent concept

- Anonymous, 07/10/2024 08:25, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent Staff & guides

- Dave, 07/10/2024 06:11, Travelled with Friend/s

Croatia is beautiful. The trip was organized and allow me to just relax and enjoy myself

- Ricky , 05/10/2024 19:22,

Lots of activities yet plenty of time to explore on our own.

- Mel, 04/10/2024 06:22, Travelled with Friend/s

Brilliant format. Some exercise, great scenery and hospitality from the Croatians. Good food on-board and in the towns. Lovely friendly and interesting other guests/passengers. Excellent crew and travel guides.

- Alistair, 02/10/2024 16:29, Travelled with Family

Friendly, helpful crew. The one week bike cruise exceeded my expectations. Andro, Ivica and the crew made our trip memorable. Thankyou

- Robert, 02/10/2024 13:49, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

- Jeffrey, 01/10/2024 21:13, Travelled with Friend/s

Very friendly staff, good food and fun biking.

- Todd, 01/10/2024 13:26,

Miranda and Bartul were have great organizational skills and an enthusiastic attitude toward the clients. The staff on the ship were very attentive to us. All of the rides were well planned out.

- stephen cefalo, 01/10/2024 12:35, Travelled in a Couple

Ivica and Andro did a terrific job of organizing our trip. They made sure we got to see all the highlights despite changing weather conditions. We felt our needs were catered to the entire week. Ivica’s and Andro’s enthusiasm also motivated the group in a very positive way. My wife and I will definitely recommend this trip to our friends and family. We would also absolutely consider taking another trip with Sail Croatia.

- Michael, 01/10/2024 11:42, Travelled in a Couple

When you have great guides, a great crew, a great itinerary on a very comfortable boat with great nourishing food and sights that can only be seen by bikes ...you get a memorable experience that will last a lifetime. When you add in the new friendships forged...priceless!!! Highly recommend Sail Croatia with Miranda and Bart as guides supported by the great service provided by Nicolina and Nino.

- Phil, 30/09/2024 19:07, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides Marin and Ilona were very knowledgeable and cared about the travelers. There concerns for our safety was apparent from day one, which was greatly appreciated. There route planning was awesome, we saw some amazing scenery. Marin and Ilona could be history majors at a university, I learned so much from them. The boat crew on Mali Ante are top notch. Mario is definitely Super Mario, always has a smile and always there for you. Ivan runs a tight ship and always makes sure the passengers needs are satisfied. Ivica, the captain was great. Always felt safe with him at the helm. Ivica, the chef always prepared the best best meals and it was obvious that he enjoyed making his guests happy.

- Rocco, 30/09/2024 13:46, Travelled in a Couple

People, weather, scenery and organisation.

- Ian, 30/09/2024 13:34, Travelled in a Couple

The guides, the crew, the other guests, the cycling, the scenery.. too many to mention.

- Garvin, 30/09/2024 10:31,

The crew and guides on the Mali Ante for our bike trip were all outstanding! Food was excellent.

- Rick, 30/09/2024 07:59,

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

The cabins were cold and the first nigt on board the boat we could hardly sleep due to the chill in the cabin. We could not control the tempreture in the cabin. The cabin had lower standard than we expected. The food served on board was not good.Breakfast was good but lunch and grill could have been better.. I had the feeling during the trip that we were alwayes in a hurry. and the cykling tours not relaxed.Not much time for fotos or to observe the scenery etc. Nevertheless we enjoyed the trip.The staff was friendly and helpful at all times.

- Pall, 26/09/2024 17:53, Travelled with Family

Every part of this holiday, the Croatian islands, the yacht, the crew, the guides, the bikes were all first class. It would be hard to find a bad word to say about this week on the MV Emanuel sailing and cycling the Croatia islands apart from the weather which no one can control.

- Neil, 24/09/2024 16:43,

We had a wonderful time with sail Croatia. Andro and Karla were fantastic hosts! With managing a dynamic group and a bit of tricky weather it came off without a hitch. Highly recommend!!

- Fred, 24/09/2024 16:34, Travelled with Friend/s

Great guides, crew and cook. Fun rides and destinations. Croatia is a fantastic area to visit.

- Vante, 24/09/2024 02:16, Travelled with Friend/s

This trip was an excellent way to visit the Croatian Islands and get a up close view. Our ship was very comfortable and the food was good. The crew and our bike guides were wonderful. They tailored our rides for the weather. We tried to bike opposite the rain, sometimes in the morning and some in the afternoon. Our group was a mix of Canadians, British and Americans. We made so many new friends. I definitely recommend this adventure and would do it again if possible.

- Frank, 23/09/2024 20:14, Travelled in a Couple

Guides were fun and knowledgeable, boat service was outstanding.

- Neil, 23/09/2024 06:55, Travelled with Friend/s

When I reflect on our days with you, I recall that many days had periods of rain, and yet my memories are all of sunshine. What a remarkable experience. First, incredible value. Accommodations were confortable, immaculately clean, food abundant and well prepared. The crew and guides were what made the trip special. Though at the end of their season, they treated us with genuine enthusiasm and care. Recommend highly.

- Donna, 23/09/2024 06:17, Travelled with Friend/s

The entire staff and team aboard the Columbo was outstanding. Their customer service, attention to detail, care for us on and off the boat was wonderful. From Captain Antonio, down to every one of his team mates, their efforts to take care of their customers was perfect. They had the flexibility from small changes to ports of call to assuring the most gentle of island transfers and sailing quality, Each of them knows the local terrain, the local dock management, even very small nuances of island culture we visited. All was shared with us. This was Simply an outstanding crew in every way. We Experienced a perfect cycle/boat/gastronomical :) event, we will visit again! Thank you Team Columbo! Mikel and Polly

well organized

- richard, 22/09/2024 11:11, Travelled in a Couple

The organization of our trip was amazing. Our boat (Afridita) has a crew that knows exactly what to do and the Captain and co Captain were extremely competent. The tour guides Marya and Tonka went above and beyond what their jobs required. Truly two gems

- Bill, 21/09/2024 15:55, Travelled in a Couple

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.

- Steve SMarin, 18/09/2024 16:17, Travelled in a Couple

Had a great time on the trip. Jasko, Anita, Nikolina and Nino were all fantastic. Darrio is the hardest working man I have ever seen. Captain was attentive to the weather conditions and made educated changes to the itinerary with minimal inconvenience.

- Joseph, 17/09/2024 20:00, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

- Stephen , 17/09/2024 13:03, Travelled in a Couple

A comfortable ship crewed by an exceptional team and hosted by lovely knowledgeable hosts. The itinerary with cycling included was and varied and just the right distance and the information provided by our hosts prior to and during the rides was relevant, helpful and interesting. Although we had weather interruptions towards the end of he week, our crew and host did all they could to ensure we still had a fulfilling trip. The food was superb and plentiful prepared by an excellent chef who was a wonderful character and served by a most well mannered and delightful waiter who kept a clean and tidy salon. All crew were friendly, helpful and for whom nothing was any trouble. These are great holidays for meeting and spending time with new people who become friends. This is the second time I have taken a holiday with Sail Croatia and have loved both trips. I would book again in a heart beat if there was an itinerary that gave greater variation from the two trips I have now done.

- Steve, 16/09/2024 22:32, Travelled Solo

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!
