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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

- Rossco, 30/09/2024 19:14, Travelled with Friend/s
Firstly I would like to point out I have absolutely no issues with the staff whatsoever - they each deserve 5 stars as they were all so welcoming and helpful throughout the trip. Special mention for Marin, the best host we could have asked for arranged some great nights and made sure everyone was included. My main issue was that the week was poor value for money, the food was ok but I have to mention the BBQ night, 25 euro for what can only be described as a car crash. When I was offered it I was expecting a real bbq on the port but no - the meats (poor quality I’ll add) were grilled in the usual kitchen not on any sort of bbq - genuinely left me feeling ripped off. Drinks on the boat are extremely expensive for what they are, poor quality sprits other than real JD, and still charging full price. Excursions are overpriced we did the canyoning and it was not worth 75 euros at all. Any transfers to ports clubs or bars are always charged and EVERYTHING is cash only - disappointing.

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.

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.

We did a Sail Croatia hike trip. Sail Croatia knew ahead of time some of the people were unable to hike but were interested in the islands we were visiting to see the towns and the history. I would have expected that the coordinators would have given suggestions for things to do and historical information. If you weren't hiking you received limited attention.

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

Though at the end of their season, they treated us with genuine enthusiasm and care. Recommend highly.

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

I recently did a split-to-Dubrovnik sail with Sail Croatia, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of incredible. Our host, Sasa, was beyond outstanding—he truly made the entire experience unforgettable. From day one, Sasa gave us honest, no-nonsense advice, making sure we got the most out of every stop. He had a way of bringing everyone together, and by the end of the trip, our boat felt more like a fun, close-knit family than a group of strangers. Having done Yacht Week in the past, I can confidently say that Sail Croatia blows Yacht Week out of the water. The level of care, the personalized experience, and just the overall vibe was miles ahead. A massive thanks to Sasa and the crew for making this adventure so memorable—I couldn’t have asked for a better host and crew💚

What made our trip so great was the country of Croatia! It was our first time visiting, and it was amazing. Our sailboat, Morpheus, was beautiful and spacious. And to top it off, our captain Marko, was phenomenal! He was very experienced and incredibly knowledgeable. The arrangements he made for our group were the best! Without being over-the-top, our safety was his first priority. He shared his love for sailing and for his country with us, which was very pleasing to hear. Our group enjoyed each stop and his recommendations were spot-on. We would definitely recommend this trip to others. Thank you.

What an amazing trip. Our group of four couples chose Sail Croatia due to its unique vessel size (16-20 cabins) and itinerary. Our expectations were exceeded by Vicko, the Sail Croatia representative on the trip, as he made sure all of our problems were solved, and we had an amazing trip - he is one of a kind and absolutely the Croation fixer! The crew of the Salve di Mare was fantastic. The boat was clean, the room sizes were surprisingly large, and they all worked to make sure we had everything we needed - plus great food and drink. Make sure to take opportunities to go off the beaten path - find unique experiences and take advantage of the ones the Sail Croatia team provides where it suits your interests. We were able to discover so much - we ate a fish the owner of a restaurant speared that morning and cleaned on the dock. We took a rowboat to a monastery on an island. We climbed a mountain (ok hill) overlooking a beautiful town on the Adriatic. Take this trip!

We came back a second year to sail with Ivan and Luce and were once again very pleased. While the weather was not as wonderful as last year (so bay swimming from the boat limited), Ivan took care to get us into the best ports with the best protection from the weather. He is an excellent skipper. Luce gets 5 plus plus plus as hostess. Her cooking was outstanding, as well as her help on dinner bookings and island activities. All very well worth it!
