Our vacation experience with Sail Croatia was excellent and memorable. Having cruised in Europe, Caribbean and Alaska on much larger ships we were looking for a new cruise experience: Sail Croatia delivered a new, higher level of cruising intimacy to us. The yacht Salle Di Mare was unique in terms that it is a mix of traditional design coupled with modern elegance. There were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy a tranquil cruise around the Croatian islands. It's a very intimate experience unlike the large cruise liners. You get to meet the crew and see them working every day. You mingle all the time with fellow passengers and make new friends. And you have this against a backdrop of picture-perfect islands, historic sites, and blue (clear) water. Plus, our cruise had 6 out of 7 days of sunshine, and on the day without sun we had indoor wine tasting :-) As an endorsement, we are already planning another Sail Croatia cruise!

Unbelievable places, once in a lifetime activities and a fantastic crew. Lateah our trip manager was a brilliant guide. Always up for a good time, knowledgeable beyond her years and extremely approachable amidst ever changing circumstances. Highly recommend. Tommy the waiter on our boat was also a 10/10, always went above and beyond, very funny and down to earth guy.

Amazing week with our Skipper Jack Sparrow on the catamaran “Sundance”. Jack was fantastic and provided GREAT recommendations and took us to all the best places in Croatia. The boat itself was great and perfect for our family of 6. Highly recommend

Bartul and Miranda were the best guides! They did a great job discussing the history and culture of the areas we were biking through. They were charismatic, patient, fun and genuinely interested in everyone on the ship. The presentations of the upcoming bike rides were informative and prepared us well for the difficulty of each ride. Bartul and Miranda went above and beyond to make our vacation amazing!

Excellent pre and post sales service, with regular follow-up from Sail Croatia with lots of useful information and a very good customer portal. Our boat Morpheus was amazing and was beautifully presented and clean. When we arrived in Dubrovnik, the Sail Croatia pre-departure service was very good. At our destination in Split, the team led by Tsvetan were very friendly and helpful….eg: in helping us to store luggage. Airport transfers were very well organised and the drivers very personable. Our skipper, Marko, was awesome……friendly, professional, safe and very knowledgable, which meant he was able to tailor our 7 days from Dubrovnik to Split perfectly to our likes and needs. A big thanks to Marko and the Sail Croatia Team for a perfect week.

I think the best thing about our week was the kindest, hospitality and liveliness of our crew particular Mario. It was clear that these people went above and beyond their duties and expectations to allow us to all have an enjoyable week. Mario was a fantastic tour guide he was knowledgeable in all aspects, was very able to manage the 36 people crew and an absolute genuine mate. It was the efforts of Mario that made my experience with sail Croatia as good as it was. Highlights of the trip was definitely being able to swim off the boat in the middle of the bays or oceans that we anchored up at and just float around. All the people enjoyed this experience which allowed all of us to be on the same paper to swim, enjoy the sun and party at night. I have made lifelong friends on this trip and for this I am grateful that we chose to do sail week to see Croatia. Thank you again to Mario, Isabel, Big Daddy, George and the other crew for their hospitality over the week.

We had an unforgettable week on the Blackbird catamaran with Sail Croatia. The whole team was fantastic, and the boat was in great condition—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group. The highlight of our trip, though, was our incredible skipper, Nikola. His knowledge of the area, from recommending beautiful destinations to great restaurants, made the experience truly special. He was professional, thoughtful, and knew when to give us space, especially at swim spots, while always being there when needed. Nikola’s kindness, expertise, and genuine care made the week amazing. Big thanks to Nikola and the entire Sail Croatia team for an outstanding experience!

Sasa, Lucy and all the cooks and captain deserve to be paid 10x more after looking after the 42 of us for the week, honestly the best week of my life but might need to wait at least a week or 2 before going again. Sasa is a god ❤️

I loved exploring the magical Croatian waters and towns with Sail Croatia. The boat was great (slept like a baby!). The food was amazing, the fellow passengers were interesting and fun, and the crew was the best. Thanks, Ivana, Josef, Sebastian, Cesar, and all, for a wonderful week!!

Beyond the beautiful islands, coves, marinas around Split, Sail Croatia (broker, not owner of the boat) has always given me complete, fast and effective preparatory information. And I assure you that I am really picky.

It was such an unbelievable experience, One our family will never forget. Croatia's unmatched beauty and history, paired with an excellent crew, delicious food, and new adventures each day, truly set this apart. It is hard to describe just how much we loved this trip.

Ten person adult family trip - wonderful way to see the best of Croatia. Cities of Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Split as well as smaller island villages. Balanced blend of excursions and free time to explore. Enjoyed our time, met people from Australia, England, and the US, and have already recommended Sail Croatia to family and friends considering a holiday in Croatia. Excellent staff (Mia) and ship crew,

We were blown away by the ship, our room, all the amenities, the places we stopped, the food, etc., but mostly the personnel. Our guide/coordinator Barbara was wonderful. She answered all of our questions and concerns quickly, she was very friendly and competent. For anyone looking for a great experience they should take advantage of what Sail Croatia has to offer.

Duge and Daniel our Captain and Host were fantastic. Great at personalizing our experience and catering to our needs. Our boat, the Jublio was built in 2023 and was well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing Croatia from the sea and seeing the small island towns was very special. We would recommend sailing with Duge and Daniel on the Jublio again. We would prefer to be able to contact our team earlier than the morning of the departure however this is a company policy I believe and not particular to our crew.

I don't actually have the words to fully capture what a special experience our Sail Croatia trip was so I'll begin by just saying do not hesitate! Literally every part of the journey was near perfect. My family of 6 was looking to charter a boat and the sales team was helpful and super responsive to help us figure out the right vessel for our journey. We ended up booking HoundDog and it was wonderful. Prior to the actual charter the team was amazing at telling me what we needed, what we didn't need, and just making everything feel really easy. When we arrived everything was even better than expected! Our crew felt like friends on the first day. If you rent the HoundDog you'll be lucky enough to spend time with them also! The ship was perfect - pictures almost don't do it justice. But what is the hardest to capture in words is the beauty of Croatia at every stop, and the pure bliss you feel on board with every wish taken care of. This was the best vacation we have ever taken.

Was a great trip. We had an AMAZING skipper Kristian who made the trip really enjoyable, safe and just relaxing and memorable. The itinerary was perfect and that was because of the skipper. We did wish we could have contacted him in the week coming up to the departure. The pre departure list was very informative, just missing the ability to do laundry in the marinas as we used the same towels all week. Otherwise very professional setup, great boat, spacious and great. We where 5 adults and 3 kids (2 5 yr olds and 1 toddler 17 months)

Had a great week sailing around the islands with my wife and 3 kids. Loved the flexibility of choosing where we wanted to stop and spend the evenings. It was a nice mix of marinas and quiet bays - great way to avoid the tourist crowds and see the special side of Croatia. Our skipper was absolutely amazing - friendly, respectful and full of local knowledge. The trip was made better because of him -- if you can ask for Hrvoje (captain Jack) - he is a brilliant human! Highly recommend Sail Croatia.

Experiencing the Dalmatian coast via a sailboat charter through Sail-Croatia is an amazing experience. You see parts of the island chain that are not frequented by many others as well as get the opportunity to visit the more known, historic towns. Our Skipper, Sinisa MARINOVIC , was incredible. He was constantly learning about what we were interested in doing and worked to ensure we were having a great time. He proved to be a great source of knowledge as well as a companion for our crew. Sail-Croatia is professional and organized. We would charter with them again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Kingfisher with Captain Roko and Hostess Mihaela. The trip from Dubrovnik to Split was fabulous as we had great stops at each island along the way. Roko planned an excellent itinerary and kept us informed based on the weather. Mihaela prepared excellent meals for breakfast and lunch each day and kept the boat very clean. They provided recommendations at each island for dinner and experiences which were all excellent. Our family truly enjoyed our week on the Kingfisher and would not hesitate to return and book with Sail Croatia again.

Having been on larger cruise ships we were looking forward to trying out a smaller one. The rooms were just as nice if not better, the service was incredible, and we found it's much much nicer swimming in the crystal clear Adriatic Sea than a crowded cruise ship swimming pool. We also found getting around to all areas of the cruise ship took seconds not minutes. Our 7-Day Cruise was the perfect amount of time for exploring the nearby coastline and islands. We were left with many wonderful memories and would highly recommend this cruise to anyone interested in visiting Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands.

A ‘stand out’ holiday for my wife and I. We loved the boat, the crew and the friend we made on board. We travelled to the most beautiful island harbours and sailed on the clearest sea. We would recommend this holiday to anybody.

We had 10 on board our Lagoon 40 catamaran and it worked great. Superb sailing conditions with calm 5-10 knots in the morning and brisk 12-20knts in the afternoon. Plenty quiet anchorages and easy mooring berths in towns with helpful staff ( arrive early to secure a place). Very helpful and responsive Sail Croatia staff.we will be back

As my first experience in a cruise, to share my holidays with people I was meeting for the first time, was a challenge. Ivana, our guide, and the crew worked things out wonderfully and ensured that we all had a great experience. Visiting many Croatia’s best cities by boat and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea has been an unforgettable experience!

Sailed on private charter with my wife and 7 year old son in June 2024 and we had an amazing adventure. The boat was clean and in great condition and we got to see so much of the islands in our week long journey. Captain Roko was knowledgeable, friendly, great with our son (made him the 1st officer) and helped plan the trip of a lifetime during our sail based on what we were looking to get out of the trip. We also opted to have a hostess, which we highly recommend! Mihaela was fantastic and she went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were tended to while on board. We would 100% recommend Sail Croatia to anyone thinking planning their own trip and we would absolutely use them again in the future.

This was a family cruise I decided to take my family on to celebrate my 80th birthday. I would like to say we all thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and I personally would like to thank everyone at Sail Croatia for making this an experience we will not forget. The ship ‘ESPERANZA’ was beautiful. crew were excellent with particular mention of TOMO , bar manager who was brilliant, Itinerary was fantastic with some stunning views and your representative on board, ‘ Karolina’ was very knowledgeable, intelligent and willing to spend time explaining and answering all our questions. Sail Croatiashould be very pleased to have her. Last but not least , thank you to all at Sail Croatia UK office who answered my questions promptly and gave out all the relevant necessary information at the right times so I was fully aware of all aspects leading up to our cruise. FANTASTIC, STUNNING and I have no hesitation in recommending Sail Croatia to all my friends. Now it’s DIET time !!!!!!!. Philip Watson

Scot and Nina are the best hosts that we have ever had!! They were part of our family for a week and we were glad to have them. Scot. Aka “the legend” has impeccable seamanship skills and Nina was there to work out any questions we had and made absolutely delicious breakfasts and lunches. If I do return I will ask for them by name. They should get a generous raise for the way they represented Sail Croatia and their respective homelands!! Cheers and thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

We spent a week on the OLIM boat on the Elegance Dubrovnik return itinerary. The boat was beautiful, and the experience was fantastic. The crew was outstanding. The cruise director, Vedran was wonderful. Our Captain and the chef were outstanding. The food was great. We loved cruising in the morning which gave us most of the day and all evening to explore our destinations. We were able to find great dinner spots that gave us a beautiful view of the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. . We bonded with the other passengers on the ship almost immediately. We became close friends. Creating a strong bond between all of us only enhanced our experience. I would highly recommend this cruise.

We had a fabulous time aboard Sundance with the expert guidance of skipper Hvroye. The boat itself was very well kept for a 2017 vessel, clean and very comfortable for my entire family. Hvroye was entirely accommodating, pushing the first afternoon to reach a beautiful marina opposite Hvar so my adult children could enjoy the nightlife, Then providing an incredible itinerary combining old towns and private moorings to leave us with a very positive impression of the beauty and richness of Croatia. Nice combination of motoring and sailing depending on the weather and wind. We will certainly be back ! - Dream Team.

Manilo was a fabulous yacht to sail around and explore the Croatian Islands and the perfect size for myself, wife and Daughter. The team at Sail Croatia were a pleasure to deal with from the very moment of booking our sailing holiday all the way though to farewelling us at the end, They were always available for any questions we may have had to make our sailing a wonderful experience. We could not recommend them highly enough.

I am a 17 year old non-speaking autistic who loves the sea and mountains. I had one of the best holidays ever, hiking on different islands everyday, whilst travelling & staying on a boat. The staff were exceptional, they were always fully inclusive and presumed competence in me. They gave me all the support I needed without patronising me, I felt empowered and leave this week with a wonderful sense of achievement and even more confidence in my abilities. I spell on letter boards to communicate, I am a ‘Speller’, I love travel and meeting new people, this holiday was so wonderful and so were all the remarkable others I spent the week with.❤️😎❤️ Thank you so much!
