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.

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

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

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

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

Beautiful Croatian coast and a good crew

- Tony, 07/10/2024 12:52, 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

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

Places we visited, people we met, local culture.

- Craig, 30/09/2024 11:29, Travelled in a Couple

The Croatian islands are so beautiful to see when biking. The EOS ship was not as nice as other pictures on the website. The staff were all pleasant. Vegetarian options were limited. Despite rain, the staff worked very hard to reroute us and gave us a wonderful experience.

- Anonymous, 27/09/2024 19:47, Travelled in a Couple

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

Anton and Karla our cruise / bike leaders did well with the large group of cyclists that were on-board the Princez Diana. Delaying a couple of rides due to weather and adding an additional ride for the island that we missed due to the weather. However, some of the riders did not like the fact that the additional 20km added for this additional ride were not given the option of missing it as it was stated before the start of the ride the group was told the additional ride would be optional. The kitchen staff were outstanding with excellent choices made for B / L and Dinners that we were given on the boat. I would've appreciated coffee included with lunch or dinner though not just breakfast. As for the room (Cabin #5) it was adequate as we did not have a working safe - staff said someone would fix it but that was never done. The venting in the bathroom was not good and the annoying relay pump sound was pretty bad when anyone was using water on the boat. I would recommend the cruise.

- David, 23/09/2024 14:42, Travelled in a Couple

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

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!

- Fred, 16/09/2024 20:59, Travelled in a Couple

Jay and Anita were outstanding! They took care of our needs, and had a great itinerary.

- Gerald, 16/09/2024 13:04, Travelled in a Couple

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

- Stuart, 16/09/2024 07:53, Travelled in a Couple

What a trip!. Scenery, exercise, fun, great staff, excellent communication. It's the whole package.

- John, 16/09/2024 05:32, Travelled in a Couple

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!

- Gary, 12/09/2024 17:48, Travelled in a Couple

Our yacht is well maintained, modern, clean and spacious. Hosts, Crews, and guides are friendly polite and knowledgeable. Meals are delicious. Croatia coast sea is calm. Sleep in the yacht is pleasant. No worries for sea sickness. Every night in different towns, different beaches without packing, unpacking and bus around. A truly must have experience.

- KC, 10/09/2024 10:01, Travelled Solo

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.

- Reay Scott, 09/09/2024 19:25, Travelled in a Couple

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.

- Alan , 09/09/2024 10:49, Travelled in a Couple

We had a great time, all 28 people from all over the world, got on fantastically well. The bikes were of a good quality and everyone managed to get on really well with the e-bike I would have liked some longer rides, the longest ride was only about 50 kms, I would have liked to do this every day. The sail Croatia jersey, should be free to all and a day set aside when everyone wears it. I was the only person that bought a jersey and it certainly was not worth the £50 paid. We only swam off the boat twice and this was something we were looking forward to, This trip is not cheap and I realise we had one of the better boats, but with payment of food when off the boat and more expensive drinks when on the boat, our limit of spending was soon exceeded, to be then expected to pay for tips and what was an expensive payment was above what we could afford. The crew should not have to rely on tips and should be covered on the initial spend. I would be happy to talk more if requested.

- Martyn, 09/09/2024 07:39, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent staff organisation and support, particularly from Karolina and Lola. Great food and service, great views on beautiful islands. Lovely to meet new friends from other countries; good balance of activity and rest.

- Chris, 02/09/2024 10:46, Travelled in a Couple

The whole trip was just fantastic from the awesome crew to the amazing guides to the terrific food. All of it. Absolutely in the Top 5 trips of our lives to date.

- Robert, 27/08/2024 02:29, Travelled in a Couple

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Excellent exercise to work off the meals! Our guides were super, well organized, and very hospitable. Met people from all over the world. Comfortable ship, Well organized itinerary. Enjoyed the swimming, particularly on hot August days! One thing to note is that it was not clear on the website nor from the saleswoman with whom we corresponded if the "total ascent/descent" for a day is combined ascent & descent or the amount one ascends and additionally descends. It is the amount one ascends and then descends as well. For example if a day's total ascend/descend is 640 meters (as ours was listed on Day 3), that means you will climb a total of 640m and then descend a total of 640m.

The staff were all impressively friendly , helpful, knowledgeable , accommodating and extremely hard working.. The communication regarding daily rides, activities were impressive and able to be flexible when needed The other guests made the trip exceptional sharing the boat and bike rides but life experiences and stories. We are confident we made friends from around the world that we will maintain and see in the future

- Anthony , 05/07/2024 08:06, Travelled in a Couple

The cycle crew (Miranda and Andro) were friendly and knowledgeable giving us history and insight into all the islands we visited. We started off as strangers and left as friends - each person on board cheering on others in the group To ride through the villages was a real treat. The crew onboard the ship Emanuel were also friendly and accommodating

- Scott, 04/07/2024 12:32, Travelled in a Couple

Glad we upgraded rooms. Whole experience new and will definitely repeat. Great to swim / cycle in lovely scenery and relax at night. Thank you especially to Andre and Dora. Lovely holiday

- Peter, 01/07/2024 06:36, Travelled in a Couple

The two guides, J and Tonga, were excellent as was the Captain and his crew.

Fortunately we had a wonderful group of fellow fun seekers. Our guides were excellent. Weather was on the hot side of warm!

- Paul, 26/06/2024 16:55, Travelled in a Couple

We loved our cycle/sail trip to beautiful Croatia! The Southern Route was fantastic,..challenging rides with great rewards seeing the islands from every vantage point...the sea, the fields, the villages and the people.Thank goodness for ebikes! Thank you to Tonka and Josko, so much more than ride guides, and the great staff on the Columbo! Such a great opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world, sharing such a memorable week. Cheers!

- Sharon, 24/06/2024 10:55, Travelled in a Couple

Meals and cycling should receive separate ratings. Our biking experience was better than we could have anticipated. Milah was professional and delightful. Andre was a great host and server; however, meal times degraded the experience for us. Breakfasts were never served hot, and lunches often consisted of lots of heavy noodles with heavy cream sauce and tenderized meat. Portions were always large, but the food was generally unappealing. We'd read reviews about gourmet fare on this experience and found nearly universally unappealing meals. The Captain's meal demonstrated the cook's capacity to make fine food, but it had been hiding until then. I would heartily recommend Sail Croatia for the challenging cycling experience, but would warn potential participants that meal time may more closely resemble a teenager's summer camp experience than an upscale adult experience.

- Harry, 24/06/2024 10:24, Travelled in a Couple

Great ship, excellent food, very well organised, great bunch of passengers. Crew and guides were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly It was hot - 30 deg plus - but by cycling early, plenty of swim stops, aircon on board, never uncomfortable. Drinks on board and National park entry expensive, but we knew that. Northern Split route is one of the easiest to ride - good for those occasional cyclists. The bikes and ebikes were fine, problems quickly sorted. Would go again (but that would be the fourth time...)

- Andrew, 24/06/2024 09:58, Travelled in a Couple

Just home from the Dubrovnik to Split trip on Princeza Diana. Wonderful holiday. Luxurious yacht with the best ever staff. Cycle leaders were brilliant with clear communication to keep 32 cyclists safe, which I know from personal experience is not easy. Bikes top quality. Excellent meals. The whole trip was well planned and execution was very slick. Still marvelling at the quality of it all.

- Peter, 21/06/2024 09:05, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing trip, boat was excellent, crew and guides were exceptional. Had a,wonderful time. I was not a cyclist but with ebikes any fears I had disappeared. The islands were fabulous,and I would recommend the trip to anyone

- Chris, 18/06/2024 08:55, Travelled in a Couple

We had a very nice time. Crew works very hard to keep passengers happy and tour guides are charming and attentive.
