We had a fabulous time on the Esperanza. The boat is very spacious (the rooms are bigger than those mega cruise ships). The facilities in the room are clean and the water pressure surprisingly strong. All the included food was varied and very tasty and we loved the organzied outcomings such as the Stari Grad Village dinner which was incredible. The onboard staff was fantastic and special Kudo's to Mia the tour organizer and Antonio in the restaurant/bar. The whole tour is a great way to see Croatia.

We cruised aboard the Katarina in September 2024 on the Split-Dubrovnik return voyage. We toured some gorgeous countryside and visited quaint Croatian villages. The family crew was wonderful and our cruise director Nico was exceptional. Our cruise was altered slightly due to turbulent weather. The captain, crew, and cruise director navigated the challenges beautifully which ultimately resulted in a much better experience than if we had stayed on the original itinerary. We enjoyed the trip of a lifetime. Thank you!

Good boat. Vicko is excellent. Great food. Marko & Nemanja were great. Lucky with a great group of passengers. Not so much with the weather Negatives/Room for improvement: Coffee machine & charging for coffee in the afternoon. Cash economy is a bit tiresome. Korcula day is too crowded with activities- not enough time in the island.

Honestly , the entire trip was made 10/10 by Davor. I have done other sails also in other countries and nothing has come close to the experience by Davor. Everything went extremely smooth and I always felt safe and taken care of. Nothing was forced and Davor helped me with legit every single question I had. I would recommend popping Davor on every single boat if you could. He was able to fit right in but also cool off when our group needed it. Couldn’t recommend him enough as a guide as he made the difference between every sail I’ve done so far. Thanks guys

Another wonderful cruise on the Queen Jelena. The boat was as beautiful as last time, as were the crew, the food and the Croatian Islands. Organisation was impeccable, and our host, Vedran, was attentive, knowledgeable and very good company.

My Sail Croatia trip was great. My trip manager Marin did an incredible job, he was efficient, organised, helpful and caring. He made sure we were all looked after and always had everything sorted so we never had to figure anything out on our own. We were given great suggestions for each place and I felt he personally got to know us all individually which meant a lot. An experience I really appreciated was when I wanted to go home early from a night out and Marin personally went with me and helped me get home, it meant so much to me. The trip itself was great and the team accommodated us with the changing weather well and always had our best interest in mind. Thanks so much for all the hard work!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of spending an incredible week sailing through the stunning Croatian coastline aboard the Kapetan June, and I can confidently say it was an experience I will cherish forever. From the moment we set sail, the adventure was nothing short of extraordinary. Our week was guided by the amazing rep, Jessica. From the very first day, Jessica's enthusiasm and professionalism made a big difference in our experience. She was always available to answer questions, share local insights, and organise fun activities that brought the group together. Her passion for Croatia and its culture was infectious, and she genuinely cared about ensuring that everyone had the best time possible. Thank you, Jessica, for making this trip so memorable! The crew on Kapetan June were friendly, attentive, and worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Their seamless teamwork helped create a relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to fully embrace the beauty of our surroundings.

This trip could not have been so well run and awesome without the support of the trip guide Marin. Marin was so knowledgeable, patient, and understanding with our group and really made the whole trip flow smoothly. This was my first experience with sail Croatia and it was one of the best travel experience of my life between the sightseeing and exploring and nightlife. The crew was also super nice and the chef was excellent, Lunch everyday was so good! All around this was such a fun trip and I highly recommend it for those traveling solo or with a friend!

I did Sail Croatia (Split return South route) on Pacific with Saša as a tour guide. Given Saša is a local, he was able to provide the tour group with first hand knowledge and tips regarding the destinations, optional excursions and things to see and do to enrich our sail week. Saša was also able to ensure all of the tour were involved, welcomed and accounted for within daily sail life and group activities. Saša’s sense of humour and understanding of foreign (especially Australian) culture also enabled him to easily relate to and bond with all of the tourists on board. In my opinion, Saša is the PERFECT tour guide for sail Croatia and I could not recommend him more!

Had an unforgettable week on the tvrdi ship. Met some absolute legends of people and had such a good time with them all. I want to give a massive Thankyou to Marin, without him the trip wouldn’t have been near what it was. He went above and beyond and made sure everyone was having fun and was looked after. Tommy in the bar was an awesome bloke and the rest of the crew were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Had so much fun with our Sail Croatia gang. I’m 31 but I never felt too old and everyone got along very well. Marin was a great host and always made sure we were taken care of. Tommy the bartender is the man and always provided phenomenal service with a smile on his face and “My love”. So much fun for social people. I went into it apprehensive about the amount of partying, but the crew we were with were sure to pull out the 20 year old in me. This type of cruise might be a little intimidating for introverted people or people who don’t like to party, since you are in a party boat with the same people for a week, but if you’re a social party person this cruise is perfect for you.

Everything was well organised and I didn't have to think or make decisions and after having solo travelled it was a nice change. The guide was really good at her job as well as the crew. They parked the boat is unbelievable spots to have a swim each day, and the boat was always really clean and immaculately looked after. There was a good age range of people on the boat, and all kinds of travellers from couples to people doing it solo.

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!

My partner and I had a fantastic week doing the Split Return South trip on board Mali Ante.

We visited some great islands all of which had a different experience and activity to participate in if we wanted to . The Captain , crew and our host were amazing and nothing was too much trouble . The facilities on the boat were great with more than enough space for people to relax . This was our first ever cruise and I believe we have started with the best as I don’t believe any other would come close . I must also say the other guests from all different walks of life and country’s also plaid a big part in making an unforgettable week . Highlight of the week for us was the Captains dinner with live musicians encouraging all of us to join in with songs that we all knew !

Great variety of stops along the coast and islands - well picked Great swim stops, captan picked small secluded bays with wonderful clear blue waters to completely relax in. Outstanding coordinator Dino, can't say enough about his wealth of knowledge and ability to get things done for you. He responds quickly to all of your inquiries. Breakfast buffet has a bit of everything and is fine for your stay. Marco working the bar is always very helpful and a joy to chat with.

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.

Mother Jessica was an incredible tour manager, brought great energy and was always there to answer questions and find us fun stuff to do like drinking games (Rabbits). She went above and beyond the Call of Duty, and didn't at all look like a 12 year old boy. She's also a good person (despite being an only child), an excellent dancer (below average bike rider) and very knowledgeable. If she's not the CEO of the company by the time I return, you will have to answer to me, and my particular set of skills. Big Blue was crewed by a bunch of absolute legends, who were always ready to get the party going, and were always accommodating of our needs (1 million beers at 9am) and wants (food). All in all, would give 6 stars if I could Meow
