A Wonderful Relaxing Experience!

Miranda, Tonka, Ivica x 2, Ilija, Ivan, Miro, Mate. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We had the most interaction with our guides Miranda and Tonka and with our server Miro...they were so wonderful. There was nothing they would not do for us...rolled with the punches...gave us everything we needed...and more! The cabins were a good size, lots of storage and lots of hot water. The itinerary was perfect and we got to see lots of places both on and on the bikes. We had some travel problems but not one issue while on the cruise. Loved it!

An Amazing Vacation

I loved Ivice (our ride leader) and Anita (the sweep/story teller extraordinaire). Ivice made every ride fun and kept an eye on each one of us to make sure we stayed safe! The rides were beautiful and the terrain provided a great workout. When the weather looked iffy, Ivice and the captain came up with an alternate plan that was also fun and rewarding. The e-bikes were terrific; powerful yet easy to use! Anita always brought interesting stories each day and planned some really fun activities for the evening. Since I have been back I have raved about both of these people and recommended the trip to a number of people. I apologize for the delay in submitting this review but I did not return to the states for 34 days. Both of these people are true assets to your company and I can’t say enough good things about each of them! Thank you for a fabulous vacation and please let them know how much we loved being on vacation with them!! With deep affection, Ginnie Daine

Great Trip

We had a great time. Was a bit disappointed with our cabin as it was below deck, but we should have booked way in advance to get an above deck one. The staff were fabulous Ivan and Lucija were lovely and helped everyone on board if they had any issues. Will certainly recommend this trip to friends.

Wonderful Guides

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!

Excellent trip!

I throughly enjoyed my sail and cycling tour. The cycling leaders (Maria and Jay) and crew staff were wonderful. They kept us all safe and comfortable on the cycling routes and on the ship. They were there for us to make recommendations for our free time. I will highly recommend Sail Croatia to friends and family!

The boat was handsome and comfortable. The food was delicious. The crew was responsive and funny and kind. And the islands were a sight to behold.

Fantastic 7 Days

Our cruise was soooo much fun! Our hosts Ivica and Anita were the best, and I miss them. It was hard to leave. They did a superb job of planning, leading, nurturing, creating a fun and caring atmosphere. We were traveling as a group of 16 who already knew each other. The combination of the wonderful boat with a room of our own, and the energetic excursions to see the countryside made this the best vacation we have ever taken. I'm telling my friends and family that they just HAVE to do it. - Susan

Fantastic experience!

We had a fabulous time meeting people from several countries. The Princess Diana was clean and comfortable and the guides and crew were friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The daily schedule allowed for cycling, exploring the towns and either relaxing or swimming. There was plenty to eat and the food was well prepared and quite good overall. We learned about Croatian history, customs and culture from our extremely knowledgeable guides who made us feel that we were welcome guests in their country. The e-bike s were good quality and easy to get used to. I would recommend this tour to anyone at a reasonable level of fitness. Some rides were strenuous, but well worth the effort. Bravo Sail Croatia, well done!!

Absolutely Brilliant Holiday!

This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!

A great way to experience Croatia.

Fun, Active Holiday

Enjoyed the cycling and swimming as well as the company of the other clients. We developed a real comraderie along with our two amazing guides and crew. There was much fun and laughter despite a very professional approach by the crew. Both guides had excellent knowledge of the islands and Croatia, making for some very interesting talks and discussions. Sailing gave an interesting and varied overview of the country. Advise bringing sand shoes for stony beaches

Great holiday

Once on board the very comfortable boat, we were well looked after by delightful guides, good chefs, bar staff and boat crew. Good quality e-bikes, excellent guiding around five beautiful Croatian islands, the crew having to adjust the itinerary due to the weather conditions. The other passengers were similar ages to us, loved cycling and the exploring of new places so there were plenty of common interests.

Exceeded my adventure touring expectations!

We did the Southern Split Sail and Cycle tour and it was absolutely amazing! I took the classic bike and there was no shortage of great cycling. ....if you are into climbing and zipping down hills and taking in breathtaking scenery along coastlines. I felt a wonderful sense of accomplishment and Ilivica and Anita, our tour guides, made sure the classic bike riders were well-accommodated along with the larger group of e-biker riders. They also provided wonderful recommendations of things to do and places to eat while island hopping. I would highly recommend this cycling tour to any active-minded person wishing to explore the Croatian islands. Great fun!

Bike Sail

Great trip! Ivica was amazing with his bike plans. Able to pivot when bad weather threatened. And zero injuries. Very impressive. Ivica is very attentive to everyone’s needs. Anita was so knowledgeable about every place we went to. She knew little things, like toilets. And her eating recommendations were much appreciated. She has such a good nature and was fun to dance with.

Sail Croatia Bike Cruise

On board crew were outstanding, nothing was a problem, they delivered a very thorough and professional service and looked after us very well :) Andre and Lola were amazing and provided us with some great riding routes and shared their local knowledge with us. Our cruising group were also amazing and compatible which made trip even more enjoyable. Boat was comfortable and very clean. Definitely recommend this cruising option to see sites of Croatia.

- Sarah, 14/10/2024 07:32, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent excursion with these fine and knowledgeable people!

From day one, it was evident that both Anita and Evica have a passion for sharing their country and its history with everyone. Their attention to safety and the well being of everyone was ever present on each bike ride. . They were so patient and kind, making sure the varying degrees of ridership were comfortable with each ride. A very detailed pre-briefing of every ride was given the day before and via WhatsApp. I highly recommend both Anita and Evica!!!

- Lesley, 14/10/2024 06:42, Travelled in a Couple

Brilliant bike and boat combo

Small group, great atmosphere , very good easy to ride well balanced e bikes. Stunning scenery, just the right amount of challenge and above all 2 fantastic guides. I do not cycle but am fit and love being outside and exploring and the e bikes made it so easy . The terrain is hilly but 35 to 50k per day was no problem even for someone who never rides a bike. All the harbours we moored in on the Split to Split southern route were wonderful. So much to explore . We travelled second week October and had great weather, Sea warm enough for daily swims. Totally recommend .

First trip to Croatia

Our guides were outstanding! They made me feel safe, comfortable, and heard. All questions were answered thoughtfully, and they projected a sense of fun and adventure. This was my first “group “ travel experience and I was pleasantly surprised each day at how well Marija and Josko managed 30 diverse guests! 5 stars for sure.

So much fun!

The trip was exactly what I was hoping for! Very well organized; Ivan and Lucija looked after every detail, always with smiles and laughs. Croatia is beautiful and the roads we were cycling on were not too busy. We had the perfect amount of down time, time for swimming in the clear blue Adriatic Sea, time for exploring each island and time to get to know the other passengers. Thank you!

Croatia bike trip

It was such a great group of people on this trip. We met people from all over the world. The boat and bike trip was fantastic. Ivan and Lucy were great guides. I really can’t say enough about them. Thank you both for educating us on the different cultures we had the privilege of experiencing. We were fortunate to have such a great crew. I will never forget this trip. Thank you all for such great memories.

Memorable

The crew was fantastic, the people that were guests were amazing, and the planning that went into making it all happen was incredible! We felt that the tour was very thoughtful and it made the most of what the weather and the islands had to offer. We have done the Sail Croatia tour once before seven years previous to this trip. We felt just as good about it and that is why we returned.

Split to Dubrovnik 25/9 - 2/10

The boat was lovely (bigger than another one I went on with another company), and the crew were excellent. The guides Ivan and Lucija, made it fun and interesting, and went above and beyond to ensure we had good things to do even when we to change the itinerary due to weather. The kitchen and boat crew were also fun, professional and helpful.

Passenger

The whole operation was so well organized and all of the staff were excellent and accommodating. Curtis who got me started on the booking was super responsive which is rare anymore. Lucia and Ivan were our guides and they were so informative, kind and made it so fun they were exceptional. Lucia the bartender, salon staff was so patient and always had a smile. I can’t say enough about the staff that you employ and experience that was created for all of us. Thank you!

Amazing!

This adventure was by far the best that we have done to date! The Captain and crew of the Eos, were incredibly professional and made sure that our travel and docking situations were very safe! Our guides, Ivan and Lucija were so much fun and arranged for some wonderful extras on this trip as well as ensuring our safety on the road and off. Lucija shared her knowlwdge about the history and culture of several of the areas we visited. through many stories and facts. A very enjoyable trip!!

Seeing and feeling Croatia at its best

The sailing and bike riding experience onboard Aphrodite was so enjoyable. By combining exercise and rest together I felt like I had a real holiday. The boat crew were all very friendly and made my trip very pleasant. The food was tasty and presented with flair. My room was comfortable and cosy. The bike manager was professional and always provided us with terrific routes through the islands. Our Tour guide was knowledgeable and kept our interest at all times.

Fantastic Experience!!

Sail Croatia exceeded my expectations for a fun, relaxing, engaging and all around great experience in the Dalmatian islands. The crew was exceptional and attentive, serving up scenic bike tours, a ship with comfortable & clean accommodations, delicious meals, excellent restaurant & wine tasting suggestions, and a lighthearted atmosphere to make new friends with the other guests. The e-bikes were in mint condition and our guide, Marin, made sure the rides were scenic, fun, safe and added historical background for those interested. Our tour coordinator, Mila, was a delight, attentive to our needs and had great local knowledge & contacts. I couldn’t offer a higher recommendation for this trip!!

Fabulous Holiday

As ever people make great times, Ivica and Andro were our bike leaders and did a great job. Thier organisation and communication was superb and made our cycling soooooo enjoyable. The rest of the people on the cruise, we’re such great company also. The Croatian Islands are so beautiful with amazing swimming, food and sunshine. We had great food on board as well. It was a very special and memorable holiday.

Great bike and sail on Afrodita

My husband and I had a great time on the bike and sail cruise. The biking was fantastic we logged a lot of kms each day and saw a lot of countryside. The bike guides, Ivitca and Andro were the best. The meals onboard were fantastic and Andrj did an excellent job of serving and bartending. The only negative comment I have is the below deck rooms are a bit smelly and need a form of ventilation. Thanks for the great time and we will definitely recommend this trip to others.

- Beth, 07/10/2024 07:12, Travelled in a Couple

Loved it!

Loved the combination of seeing the islands by land and sea. The biking through the country side on each island was beautiful and so much fun, loved our e-bikes. We had amazing tour guides and boat crew! Unfortunately we had a couple of days of bad weather, but the crew and guides were quick to adjust our course and itinerary to avoid this as best they could and everything turned out great. Thank you! Highly recommend!

Another fabulous trip

After our Sail Croatia trip in 2023 I didn’t think this year’s could be any better. I was wrong!! The level of experience of Marin our lead on our bike rides and Ilona as our “caboose” made for a very well thought out, informative, safe and enjoyable day. The information shared was interesting and I felt that I gained an understanding of Croatian culture and history. Ilona planned dinners and excursion to a winery. Great that the places she chose were able to accommodate separate checks. Dinner and dessert recommendations were spot on. We took her up on a few.. Mario (aka Super Mario) welcomed us as repeat visitors as did our amazing Manager Ivan. It was a pleasure to meet his son Ilija, another great addition to the team. Our ship’s captain and our chef both shared the same name Ivica. Our captain was terrific and I felt confident that our safety was a priority, Chef- no words-only praise. His assistant Mate? did great too! The meals were the culinary highlight of our trip.

Perfect trip in every way!

What an amazing trip! From the time I woke up, till the time I went to bed I was having so much fun! Staff of Afrodita was wonderful. Captain, Luka, and Ivan kept us safe and going, Kristijana was so kind and helpful, and Andrej worked so hard making sure everything was served perfectly and with a smile. Chef Bane is a magician. Food was delicious and there was so much of it. What a crew! Special thanks to Ivica and Andro! I never dreamed of having so much fun biking and exploring Croatia. They were so fun! I have never met anyone who wanted to make sure my vacation was perfect s those two did! I hope to do this trip again in the future.

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!

Memorable Cycling vacation with friends

For us, great vacations combine beautiful surroundings , culture, activity and the chance to gather with old friends and new. Our time with Sail Croatia checked all those boxes. We joined the cycling cruise knowing only one other couple but left feeling like we many new friendships. The other cyclists were just one part of that. The ship’s crew was the added charm! Our tour guides Marin and Ilona took such good care of our experience! The safety measures were top notch & they truly cared about making sure we enjoyed the beauty of each island. We pedaled to quaint locations, sipped lattes on beaches & learned rich history. It was a perfect blend of activity & beauty. All the crew who managed the boat was incredible. Such care and pride was taken in creating a lasting memory. Mario, with his smiling face and humble service warmed my heart every morning, noon and night. His pride for his county & his work ethic should be a Masterclass offering. .A 5 star experience in every way!

Amazing trip on Afrodita!

I did the Split to Dubrovnik cycle tour with Ivica and Andro as our guides aboard the Afrodita, alongside an amazing ship crew! They went above and beyond to make the experience great for everyone: from adjusting the itinerary to ensure we had the best weather possible, to increasing the length of our rides/adding bonus rides since we were a group of strong bikers, and arranging additional tours for us several of the evenings. The daily swim stops were a hit as well - perfect way to cool off after a big day of biking. It was an unforgettable week. Thanks Ivica, Andro, and the Afrodita crew for making it so special ❤️

- Kari, 03/10/2024 02:49, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic Week

What a fantastic week of sailing and cycling between the beautiful islands of Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik. There is no better way to see this part of the world. Our cycling guides Ivica and Andro made this experience outstanding right from explaining in detail the route we were taking every day to discussing the history of the many stops we made along the way. They made the week so much fun! The size of the group was perfect and the staff were amazing. Andrej and the entire on deck crew made sure we had great meals, safe docking in every port and comfortable surroundings. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia if you are looking for a fabulous holiday.
