Our guides Miranda and Tonia were the best! They were encouraging and helpful and knowledgeable! The boat was nice however I might mention a few things they could improve. Be more transparent about pricing of drinks. Choices of breakfast food could be better. Like more fruit and better toaster. Squeegee for showers to help with humidity in the rooms. Better WiFi in rooms. The ports were amazing and captain was great at parking the boat! I love Croatia and the people who live there are friendly and kind! We will be back!

The organization of the biking trip and the crew,

The "Tempera" cruise was interesting bc it stopped every day at a different island unlike other large cruise ships. The boat was small which allowed both the crew and the 36 passengers aboard to get to know each other. The food + its preparation were excellent. Above all, our guide, Ioana was so pleasant and knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. She got to know each one of her guests and always made sure we were happy with her options for us at each stop. Her briefings were engaging. Secondly, our meal server - M_____, was extremely kind and hard-working. Constructive criticism: In order to allow more sightseeing time, serve breakfast and DINNER instead of lunch. We felt a bit shortchanged by the current dining schedule. Overall, it was a lovely way to spend a vacation! Thank you to all for making us feel comfortable and safe!!

The staff were great on this trip, especially Ioana our guide! Food. On the ship was very good and plentiful. The captain adjusted our itinerary for the weather. We had options to join group activities and dinners. Only wish we had more time off the boat. This cruise would be difficult for someone with mobility issues-especially in lower cabins and needing to cross between boats at ports. We had daily swim stops in am.

The other cyclists on board made this holiday so much fun. They were all so friendly and easy going. All with a sense of adventure and fun. Having never visited Croatia before I was blown away by its beauty. A truly amazing holiday. I will definitely be back.

We spent a fantastic week with Sail Croatia exploring nearby islands. Night Sky was very clean and comfortable for our stay. Despite stormy weather, our Sail Croatia skipper ensured that we got the chance to visit as many destinations as possible and always provided information about where we were, as well as sailing advice. Hopefully we will be back!!

I enjoyed the sail/cycle cruise immensely and would do it again in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. Our tour guides, Lola and Dora, were the very best we could have hoped for. They went above and beyond to make our time enjoyable, especially as we had to change the planned itinerary due to the weather. I can't speak highly enough of them, and the crew on our boat 'Columbia' from 14 to 21 September. Thank you!

- Caroline, 04/10/2024 11:26, Travelled with Friend/s

We enjoyed each town we visited. The ship was beautiful and clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

- Denise, 01/10/2024 10:39, Travelled with Friend/s

Klara’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious. Every morning she had a spring in her step which set the tone for the entire cruise. She was very approachable and answered all questions and queries with a happy smile. The boat was clean and in good condition. Would have liked a little more time in port and less ‘swim’ time as the towns had a lot to experience. Would recommend Sail Croatia to my friends.

- Amanda, 30/09/2024 08:37, Travelled with Friend/s

Travelled with a group of 12. Overall a great experience,. Although, we all felt rushed when riding , I can appreciate that when on a boat there are things we don’t know that may cause the riding time to be rushed, like having to deal with weather and docking times. These things should be taken in to consideration when choosing routes and times of riding. More time for sightseeing and swimming would have made my experience a lot better. The crew and guides did an amazing job. Would definitely refer friends to Sail Croatia.

- Debbie, 30/09/2024 07:30, Travelled with Friend/s

As the weather was inclement to keep to the original itinerary, the crew and tour guides were awesome in adapting our itinerary and cycle routes. The places they ported were just as amazing and beautiful.

- Kylie , 23/09/2024 16:37, Travelled with Friend/s

I really enjoyed my week sailing with sail Croatia. I went mid-september so unfortunately we were hit with some rainy weather but we had some sunny days and made the most of it. I got along well with the other travelers and our group leader was nice and answered our questions when we had them. The cabins were small but this was to be expected on a sailing boat, we all got pretty close sharing the same space for a week. The included breakfast was good and the supplies on board were just enough to make basic food. I would recommend this company to friends looking to have a good time, make new friends and go on adventures.

- Gabrielle, 23/09/2024 16:30, Travelled with Friend/s

Dora was great, however, the recommended dinner - the one not included- was just *fair* and they over charged us and we were left to deal with paying. I feel like payment is something the cruise director should handle. It was chaotic and a bad way to end our evening. Also, I would have done more yoga, but it was usually just a little bit too early- I was on holiday, so I didn’t want to set an alarm. The only other suggestion: have more drinks for non-drinkers. Don’t run out of Coke Zero. I’m sure non-drinkers are not your normal clientele, but it would have been nice to be offered something else to drink when wine tastings were offered. The last dinner (the one that was included did a fantastic job of that. We felt seen, rather than ignored. Thanks so much. Overall I would recommend this yoga cruise.

- Nellie, 19/09/2024 13:02, Travelled with Friend/s

We loved the bicycle part of the trip and the beautiful stops at night. Some of our itinerary changed due to bad weather and port issues, but the crew and guides worked to make it a good experience, and it was.. However guests got seasick. My only problem was caused by jumping into the water from the top of the boat, and that was due to my poor judgment. Swimming in the sea was fun!

- Kay, 16/09/2024 04:38, Travelled with Friend/s

We really enjoyed our trip on Almissa. Our cruise director did a good job informing us of the daily schedule and working with excursion providers to give us the best experience. We enjoyed the yoga sessions. There was a good variety of excursions for all activity levels. We enjoyed exploring the towns. A lot of history, shopping, food options and gelato! The ship was the perfect size. We had a fun group of passengers. The crew did a great job of keeping things clean and organized and the food was good too. We don’t have any complaints!

- Danae, 16/09/2024 00:42, Travelled with Friend/s

More info ahead of time about boarding place and process. Better communication about the agenda, activities etc. Maybe a "white board" with cycling distances, times, degree of difficulty, planned stops etc. Also, more info ahead for non cyclists and which stops we were having dinner on our own. Announcements were not made ahead of time and were difficult to hear with engines running. More time to explore port towns. Especially Brac....no time after the ride to see the port. Food and crew were fantastic. Trip was fantastic and the rides were great

Landscape and surroundings were wonderful. Bicycle trips were very nice - I only regret having more time to take photos on the way. Staff on board were helpful and charming. And the best part:: getting to know and make friends with other international guests were fantastic!

- Anonymous, 10/09/2024 07:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Friendly crew and clean boat. Itinerary had more swim stops than expected which was frustrating at 2 places. We should have asked and paid for tender rides to explore the towns longer. Felt like a waste of time. Not enough time in Hvar or Kumiža - definitely could have spent a full day exploring those towns. Bath towels are very thin and there is NO space in your cabin for large suitcases. Our carry-ons just fit under the bed - no idea where larger bags would go. Plenty of fresh water for showers but you need bottled water for cleaning your teeth. No frills but great way to see the Dalmatian Coast and explore the islands.

- KimR , 09/09/2024 02:53, Travelled with Friend/s

Our crew was fantastic and the places we stopped were stunning! We started in Split and the boat captain "Mickey" rolled out the map so we could weigh in on what stops we wanted to make/important things on our list (Blue Cave, Mljet National Park, etc.) and made some great recommendations as well. Each place we visited offered a new experience, great food, beautiful scenery, architecture, people and on and on! What's preventing a 5 star review management could easily fix! FIRST and foremost: towels and sheets. When one is experiencing a luxury yacht adventure, don't expect them to use the SAME towels and sheets for 7 days in a row without replenishing them! Gross! We don't need fresh sheets and towels daily but please turn them over mid way through the trip. When we had a cut (blood) and our towels become soiled, the crew said there were no spare towels and sheets on board. Small thing that would make a big difference! Otherwise it was a lovely experience! I'd go back!

Vedran Ovčar was fantastic. Our crew and itinerary. The ship and our weather were lovely. Can't say enough. We all had such a memorable, great time!

- Anonymous, 03/09/2024 14:55, Travelled with Friend/s

Loved the islands and the sea was amazing. Our trip, in August, made for really hot biking but great swimming. The tour ran like a clockwork schedule. The right mix of hard work and down time. Our bike guide could have been a bit more personable. Food was great bur so much was a bit overwhelming. Because boats were anchored together with other boats overnight loud passengers crossing in and out often disturbed our sleep late into the night. A sign for "Quiet hours after 10pm" would have been great. Our room was very comfortable but more hooks on the walls are needed. Our stewardesses, Paula and Olga and our tour coordinator Mila were great as were the whole crew.

- stacey, 03/09/2024 09:11, Travelled with Friend/s

It was a lovely trip through the Dalmatian Islands, the cycling was challenging yet worthy, but I do think the bar prices on the boat could have been more competitive. We found ourselves preferring to be gathered in a bar or restaurant when we’d have rathered stay on board and have a drink on the top deck, etc. the dining room was often stiflingly hot, the AC may have been a good idea on some of the particularly hot days. The crew and staff were great, very efficient, and overall this was the best way to see this gorgeous country. Thank you!!

- Karen, 02/09/2024 04:37, Travelled with Friend/s

At the end of our trip we were told that they had to hire two extra boats as they had over booked on yacht’s. The boat we were provided with did not have glass doors at the entrance which meant that the aircon did not stay indoors where as in the other non hired boats the air would be trapped in. This meant that it was very hot at night which was very annoying as we had paid extra for the aircon. It was also tricky having the skipper sleep in the lounge room as we couldn’t use that space later for group activities where light was required. Upstairs, there was no light on the deck table on our boat unlike the other boats, so it made playing card games with the group tricky and harder to bond with the others in the group. As soon as we entered the boat there was this smell of sewerage that did not leave the boat the entire trip to the point that the skipper had to buy spray to cover the smell.

- Sarah, 28/08/2024 18:41, Travelled with Friend/s

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with sail Croatia. I enjoyed being on the boat and exploring all the amazing destinations. The swim stops each day were a massive highlight being able to jump straight in to the beautiful ocean waters. The team were very welcoming and accommodating, especially Branko! If we needed something he was on top of helping out in whatever way he could. I feel that the sheets should be changed half way through the trip and that the bathrooms need more of a deeper clean. The breakfast buffet was great and the food served each day for lunch included a variety of cultural dishes and more and although I don’t eat sea food, there were many that I enjoyed thoroughly. There were many excursions offered which I did, however for the price some were average. Overall I enjoyed myself and the trip was a trip of a lifetime meeting so many amazing people!

- Katelin, 27/08/2024 15:15, Travelled with Friend/s

This trip was seriously one of the best experiences ever! We had an amazing crew, a great group of people and we visited some of the most beautiful places! Our ship was so much nicer and more spacious than we expected, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing on those hot days! The swim stops were so beautiful and refreshing and exploring the islands and towns made for a perfect balance of a relaxing and activity filled trip! Dino and the rest of our crew were amazing, they worked so hard to make sure we had the best experience and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Dino was fantastic, he was so friendly and welcoming and it felt as though he genuinely cared about us, taking our concerns seriously and taking care of any issues that came up.

- Emma, 23/08/2024 14:47, Travelled with Friend/s

Had the most insane trip onboard the Pacific. Couldn’t ask for more with our tour guide Dino. He was so helpful and went out of his way to assist us in anything we needed. Even when some of the clubs were closed due to local happenings Dino sourced down the next best places to go and helped make the night the greatest it could be 😌😌

There’s wasn’t as many activities as I though there would be. The food wasn’t great and there was no food to snack on aka chips. I feel like since the towels weren’t drying they probably needed to be changed more often. My towel was wet all the time when showering. Sanja was great, crew were all fabulous. Sanja was well informative on each island and was very honest in which activity was better to do which was great.

- Olivia, 20/08/2024 16:34, Travelled with Friend/s

I definately think our guide Toni made us having the best time ever, he was really good at making the group become one and making sure that we were all having a great time. I find it admiring to see how quick we was at always answering our texts and questions whether it was late at night or during the day and he always made sure everone was safe and good especially during the party nights. He was a real and honest guide who made sure that our money was spent right and we didn't waste anything, giving us good recommendations of what to do see and eat and what not to do. I wanna thank him and sail croatia for a fantastic week!!

Have just returned from a week on the Almissa. The boat was lovely and our above deck cabin was perfect for a week, comfortable bed, enough storage for clothes and a lovely en suite. The crew were very friendly and nothing was too much. The islands we visited had stunning scenery and we loved the daily swim stops. Breakfast was plentiful, as was the three course lunch. Can highly recommend this way to holiday.

- Nicky, 08/07/2024 16:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Dino was a great host and the crew were amazing! Wish we spent more time in the water and breakfast wasn’t so early, but it was balance or rest and party. I also wish we got more history about Croatia when we got to the different ports.

- Mia, 05/07/2024 10:54, Travelled with Friend/s

I would’ve liked more opportunity on land to explore the islands, especially when we were docked at a port that was not in the town. Or the opportunity to get a water taxi in to explore i.e. Stari Grad.

- Anonymous, 05/07/2024 01:00, Travelled with Friend/s

Overall, the trip was great. It's a wonderful way to see Croatia in short period of time. The staff is so fun and friendly. And to be able to relax and swim everyday really added to the experience. While the experiences included are fun, it does not feel authentic but more focused on those on the similar cruise itinerary. It was tough only having a late afternoons and evenings in ports, I would have loved a mixed of mornings/early afternoons at port, and then afternoon swims.

Went from Split to Dubrovnik on AlleyCat with my husband and 2 friends. We had the most amazing holiday, the location islands are spectacular, our skipper was brilliant at stopping at the best lunch coves as well. Our skipper and hostess (Mislav & Yellena) went above and beyond to make our holiday extra special and were an absolute pleasure to spend time with, they are a credit to Sail Croatia. AlleyCat is a great size boat, rooms and showers are all 10/10 and she was treated like a princess by our skipper (rightly so), The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was due to not receiving a preference sheet from the bookings team. We arrived to the boat after travelling to Croatia that day with no food or drinks on board, although I had emailed and asked about shopping befWe have since found out this should have been sent to us so the crew could have arranged on our behalf before boarding. Apart from that a perfect holiday, crew, boat and locations and would certainly use agIn.

The boat was very comfortable, the crew were excellent, the food was plentiful, the bikes were well organized and worked well. The rides were good with some challenges. We would of liked to have opportunities to take some more pictures of the country side and some pretty villages. The itinerary was obviously limited by the boats schedule in the harbors by the ports authorities. We really enjoyed the time on board.

- Melissa, 22/06/2024 10:28, Travelled with Friend/s

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves sailing through the open water and swimming in the most beautiful spots. The boat was charming and the cabins (and en-suite) were clean and spacious enough. We went on numerous excursions (top 3 - canyoning, wine tasting and bike ride) but thought most were overpriced (€20-80) and could have gotten cheaper local deals. Additionally, there were a number of unexpected and unavoidable transfers, taxis/buses to pay for (€6-10 each). Meals on board were tasty, except if you were vegetarian (don’t expect any variety). The crew was polite, yet did not engage with us. The owner, Marjan warmly welcomed us on his ship, made the best pina-coladas & was a sniper at beer pong. Our rep Luiis was the friendliest and funniest guide who made sure we enjoyed ourselves every step of the way. He excels at relating to people and trying to meet guest expectations. Would sail with Marijan and Luiis again, but not convinced of the benefit of the Sail Croatia brand.

- Michaela, 19/06/2024 17:04, Travelled with Friend/s

A number of the excursions were cancelled and there was no replacements or suggestions to do. This was very disappointing as we specifically booked the trip for the excursions. The limited excursions that were offered were very disappointing.

- Kate, 17/06/2024 11:26, Travelled with Friend/s

I had friends who previously did sail Croatia and told me about all these amazing parties and events . When I got on board and asked my host about these she informed me that the Cave Party in Makasaka wasn’t open and wouldn’t be happening (this was one of the reasons I booked with this company) there was no communication from the company prior to our trip to inform us of this. Even though they knew it wasn’t open as it was start of season. There also was no theme night on board the ship which we were under the impression there would be since it is quite commonly posted on social media amongst participants. We didn’t know anything that was happening until the day of which was stressful and made taking money out become a daily task. I do not like the fact that everything had to be in cash and there was all these extra hidden charges on excursions that were not explained before we left! Overall pretty disappointed in the sail Croatia company. Enjoyed my time but wasn’t as much fun.

Boat was a bit ordinary and not what’s in the photos and videos. Food was okay. Advertised that dinner isn’t included so assumed find something ourselves however it was organised every night which felt like we had strict time lines and did not have much freedom to explore. The dinners organised were overpriced and average. I don’t want to be eating Japanese on my first night in Croatia. I want traditional food and seafood!!! The night clubs we were taken too were small and pretty average and some overpriced!! 11€ for one drink is stupid. I also was charged wrong prices for my drinks on board, I ended up having to pay 30€ extra for drinks when I was just charged wrong. Ceili was amazing though! Best rep we could’ve asked for and she made the week so special! Have made friends for life

1. The staff and crew (The captain, Loana, Thomas, Phillip and all others) were so friendly and accommodating. Thumbs up to all of them. 2. The personalities of all quests and their traveling tales were so interesting to hear. 3. The organization that Loana showed us throughout the cruise was top notch. You could tell she spent many an hour with the preparation of the trip's details. 4. The timing updates from Loan of each day's activities created a stress-free atmosphere. 5. The cabin's interior was very relaxing and spacious, and the room's comforting decor for the size of the ship was a Level 5. 6. The added activities (village farmhouse wine tasting and authentic Croatia dinner and serenading musicians) were wonderful. They made the cruise so special. 7. The navigational skills that the captain exhibited were very reassuring. The negatives that the cruise company could approve upon: 1. The air quality in the cabin's created some health issues with a few quests.
