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

Thanks Sail Croatia for a very relaxing, fun and interesting sail around the islands off the coast of Split. We had a great time. The catamarans were Spacious! Ensuites were a happy surprise. Skipper was excellent.

Great crew, food , service, wine, other guests. Wonderful introduction to this beautiful country. Its history food, wine and people.

Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!

I had a wonderful time. The cruise was amazing...beautiful food, friendly staff and excellent hike guidance by Marte and Andro. I can't say enough to thank everyone for looking after me so well.

- Sue Ashmore, 27/10/2024 07:58, Travelled Solo

Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.

- Dulce, 27/10/2024 04:07, Travelled with Family

We loved every minute of our cruise with Sail Croatia. It exceeded all expectations. The ship was impeccably maintained, our room was spacious and our beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom was the size of a hotel ensuite. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. The standout for us were the activities on offer at each island we visited. They were optional but we tried to do all of them to maximise our experience. Anita, our representative/tour guide was incredible. She worked so hard to ensure we all had the best experience and she took so much care of us all, Every day she communicated options and updates and kept us informed every step of the way. For me having a representative like Anita elevated the cruise to a whole new level. In consultation with the Captain she adapted the activities, sometimes at last minute, to suit the conditions and always endeavoured to give us all the best experience. The Blue Cave, Vis was one of the best highlights. 💯 recommend this cruise,

- Mary, 27/10/2024 01:26,

The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.

- Aimee, 26/10/2024 22:10, Travelled Solo

Our cruise was very relaxing with the right balance of activities and interaction with other guests. We really loved the swim stops each day and the meals were of premium quality and presentation. There was plenty of space on the boat, Esperanza, to feel like you could have some privacy and then interact when we wanted to. We would recommend the cruise and we had a great time., the crew was very helpful and friendly.

- Fiona, 26/10/2024 02:01, Travelled in a Couple

Beautiful sea, great weather, kind and simpatico crew and staff. Kind and professional captain who took on board the requests of his guests and supported them when he could. Cleaver and knowledgable tour guide Anita always helpful, kind and fun. So, thank you it was a wonderful holiday.

The sailors took pride in their ship, always on top of their responsibilities. Our room was comfortable as advertised, staff friendly. Anita our hostess engaged with all her passengers, always eager to help. Our trip was delightful, swimming spots and beautiful ports to dock in. Wonderful country to explore with delicious food. Very fortunate to have had the loveliest travellers to make our holiday exceptional.

This trip was wonderful from beginning to end. Croatia is a beautiful country and we were able to enjoy it both on land and while cruising the Adriatic. The ship, Queen Jelena, was our comfortable floating hotel. The cabin/bath were a good size ( the bed a wee bit hard) and the ship's common areas offered various areas to sit, lounge, meet friends or just enjoy being on the sea. The food was delicious, the crew was fantastic and incredibly hard working, the wine tastings and cultural experiences were lots of fun. Our trip manager Ivan was absolutely top notch. The small group size made it easy to mingle with the other guests which made the experience even richer (although a list of guest names and name tags for the crew, at least initially, would have been helpful for getting acquainted the first few days. I would highly recommend the Sail Croatia wine cruise.

- Barbara, 22/10/2024 10:09, Travelled with Friend/s

Our Tour Manager, and a professional crew The Group of wonderful people ( now friends) Croatia experience first time. Excellent planned Wine Cruise., very comfortable ship (Jelena) Reducing the rating from 5* to 4* only because the wine tastings fell short of my expectations.

- Catherine, 22/10/2024 10:02, Travelled with Family

We had the best time on the Olimp especially having a great tour guide, Ionna. The only thing I would have liked changed was to have coffee and tea readily available. Thanks for a wonderful holiday and very memorable.

- Anne, 22/10/2024 06:29, Travelled in a Couple

Even before we started our cruise, Sail Croatia’s service was exceptional. They provided us with a complimentary pick up from the airport, and if we had have been going straight home, they would have provided an airport drop off too. This attention to detail continued right through our cruise. We did a Wine Cruise, which I believe is fairly new to the itinerary, but you’d never have know because it was so well planned and took us to so many beautiful wineries to sample an array of local wines. Our ship was Queen Jelena and it was just stunning. We had a cabin on the lower deck and we were absolutely delighted with it. It was spacious and comfortable. We had breakfast and lunch every day on the ship and the quality and quantity was exceptional!!! Pamela, our waitress and bar attendant was very friendly and efficient and couldn’t have done more for us. We were so fortunate to have Ivan as our guide, he was absolutely amazing. He made himself available all day every day. Best trip ever!

- Lee Goodall, 22/10/2024 06:07, Travelled with Friend/s

We went on the 7 day wine cruise, where we got to experience different Croatian wines and a different island every day. The food was fantastic and every meal was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the daily swim stops and the whole cultural experience. The rooms were spacious and we had our own ensuite. We both thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would definitely recommend this as an enjoyable, relaxing and culturally holiday experience.

- Catherine , 22/10/2024 05:56, Travelled in a Couple

The Elegance cruise aboard the Olimp was such a delight! The holiday was effortless and the onboard food an absolute standout. Our tour guide was very entertaining, helpful and always available. The swim stops were a highlight for me. The cabin was roomy and the Olimp is beautifully maintained by a committed crew. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

- Maureen, 22/10/2024 04:30, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and myself signed up for this cruise with 5 other friends and we had a fantastic time. The Olimp is very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The crew was awesome- Ioana was an organized and fun cruise director who kept us informed and provided great recs for each stop of our cruise. This was our first time on a cruise and we found that the size of the ship and number of guests was just perfect. We enjoyed getting to know other guests on the cruise. Sail Croatia did an excellent job of communicating before the cruise as well.

- Michelle, 22/10/2024 02:01, Travelled in a Couple

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.

The Olimp yacht was beyond amazing! And our tour director Ioana was the best we have ever had! She was amazing and catered to all our needs above and beyond!

- valerie scherer , 21/10/2024 14:10, Travelled in a Couple

The trip was great for my restricted mobility. The railings on all walkways and stairwells made walking around the ship possible. The crew were always available to offer a helping hand or arm. One of the sailors - Mario - was exceptionally thoughtful. He carried my mobility scooter on and off the boat, storing and charging it overnight. He was sensitive to my fears, crossing from boat to boat, offering encouragement and praise, as well as physical help. Wonderful intuitive personal skills!

- Alison, 21/10/2024 05:43, Travelled with Family

We recently returned from an incredible 7-day sailing charter with Sail Croatia, and we can’t recommend it enough! We were greeted by Ante our skipper for the week, planned out our trip and set sail that same afternoon. We spent the next few days exploring the stunning islands off Croatia. Most days we would stop to swim in crystal-clear waters and prepare a luncheon before sailing off to our next port. We enjoyed one day on land in Vis and explored the island on scooters which was another fun adventure. The boat was spacious for the 6 of us and well-equipped, with comfortable cabins and a beautiful deck perfect for day sailing. Our skipper Ante was fantastic and arranged some very fun evenings for us – dinner at a vineyard and another at an inland Konoba featuring traditionally prepared meals. He was also very conscientious about giving us our space while always being close at hand. This sailing charter exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend!

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!

- Demetria, 18/10/2024 10:01, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent manager Ana, cycle guide Dora and crew. They couldn't have been more helpful. Itinerary promptly and smoothly rearranged if necessary according to circumstances eg weather. Definitely recommend this trip with Sail Croatia.

- sylvia, 18/10/2024 09:52, Travelled in a Couple

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!

- Janet, 18/10/2024 08:28, Travelled with Friend/s

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!

- Joan, 17/10/2024 12:02,

The trip was lovely from start to finish….Klara, our Director, was informative, approachable, and very professional. Such an engaging personality. I have to mention Pamella, the most unflappable, efficient bartender, hostess, all around go to girl for anything you needed. Our cabin was made up beautifully every day by an invisible crew member and we found our lower berth comfortable, quiet and spacious. The food was delicious. The chefs did amazing work in the tiniest of kitchens….my faves: Black truffle ravioli and sea bass. Delicious soups, bread and over the top desserts every day. Almond torte…my fave. Even in October our shipmates enjoyed beautiful swim stops almost every day. The ports offered a variety of choices in activities and free time, with a scheduled vineyard or wine tasting included…..I truly have nothing negative to say…..we loved it all.

- Valerie, 17/10/2024 11:45,

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.

We avoided the extreme heat and crowds that summer in Croatia usually brings. We were still able to swim in the mornings and enjoy walking around the smaller towns. The food on the Esperanza was quite good. Our tour director Ivana did a good job keeping us informed and on schedule.

- Patricia, 17/10/2024 05:35, Travelled with Friend/s

I had researched quite a few small ship cruise lines before booking, and I'm so glad we went with Sail Croatia! We sailed the Explorer cruise Split to Dubrovnik on The Salve di Mare, which was the most beautiful boat, with the rooms being generously sized and very well appointed (we were in the lower deck and even had a double vanity in our ensuite!) The Captain and his crew were reliable and friendly. Our cruise director Vicko was nothing short of amazing, being generous with his time and also his knowledge and assistance. We really enjoyed the daily Destination speech learning so much about the history of each please we were heading to. We did have to make a couple of itinerary changes due to port issue and weather, but it did not detract from any of our trip, if anything it meant we got to be first people of the day into the Blue caves! The food far exceeded our expectations, and as is with Croatia, always very generous servings! I would not hesitate to recommend Sail Croatia!

- Lee, 17/10/2024 05:19, Travelled in a Couple

We had a great time on our private catamaran tour in early October 2024. When I asked family members what their top parts of the trip were, they said "the amazing coves that our captain took us to for private swimming and relaxing," "the fabulous food that our hostess cooked for us every day", and the wine and food we found along the islands. October was a great time to travel around beautiful Croatia without crowds, and while there were some limits in that restaurants or shops were sometimes closed and the weather was less predictable, it ended up being a terrific trip. Every step of the way (including a post-trip excursion) was supported by both the administrative teams and the sailing teams.

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

This was a trip we had anticipated and looked forward to for almost a year. Traveling with lifetime friends, this was the last week of a 3 week Croatian experience. The ship Esperanza was lovely and so well maintained. Our cabins were adequate and spacious as ships go. The beds were great!!! Our crew and cruise director Ivana could not have been more helpful. The daily briefings ,and restaurant recommendations prior to making port were so helpful and much appreciated . It was everything we hoped and more.

- Mary, 16/10/2024 12:39, Travelled in a Couple

Sailed on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik and back. It was great to visit some smaller destinations. We were extremely well looked after by all the crew. A special mention has to go to our guide Ioana who brought her energy every day.

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!!

- Laurel, 15/10/2024 19:42, Travelled in a Couple

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!
