Sail Croatia review an old man's quest to reclaim his youth.

At 34 I was one of the oldest on the boat. This is also my third sail Croatia. I had an excellent time with Lauren and Mateo keeping us up-to-date with activities, food and delicious beverages. My only issue was the price of drinks and activities I understand that everywhere needs to make money but when in some instances it is cheaper to get a drink at a beach bar than have a beer on the boat I feel like it is a miss step. Effectively lower the price of beverages and find a way to make some of the activities cheaper. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. Lauren O'Neil and Mateo deserve massive pay rises as they are incredible customer facing interacting members of the sail Croatia team and should be compensated as such.

Epic week

We had an awesome week on board the Mlini exploring, drinking, and making new friends. Loren, Matteo, and the rest of the crew gave us an incredible experience, from the huge yum meals to the extra plans they made to keep us busy when the weather turned bad. And also all the shots we kept ordering….you’re a good man Matteo. We were all sad to leave the boat at the end, and are already planning for next year.

Staff Friendliness

Toma, Dino and the crew were so much fun. They looked after us really well, and were so approachable and easy to talk to and ask questions.

Sail 2024

We had the best crew! Everyone worked so hard to make it the best week for us. Lauren got creative and set up karaoke, a movie day and quiz night when we got unlucky with the weather. Mateo & the crew of Mlini go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, everyone is included and has a good time

The best Sail Croatia experience I could’ve asked for.

The crew, guide and people on the boat were all amazing. The crew were friendly and were always up for a good time. Hana was lovely and provided good information and always good to talk to. The boat was in good order and was enjoyable to be on.

Great time

Had an amazing time on Sail Croatia cruise, even though the weather wasn’t perfect the crew insured we went to the best locations and still made the most of the trip. Marin was a very organised and knowledgable rep and his enthusiasm inspired everyone on board.

AMAZING TIME. DAVOR MADE OUR COUPLE TRIP 10/10

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

BEST WEEK!!

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.

Wild week

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.

- Richard, 13/09/2024 05:44, Travelled in a Couple

Such a good time 💪🏽

Great bunch of people to do sail with, the crew and host were unreal and made it a very pleasant time. Would highly recommended anyone thinking about doing sail.

Saša is the best

Couldn’t rate saša and crew any more highly on the Pacific boat. Done everything he could to make our stay better. The best crew!

SANJA WAS AN ABSOLUTE WEAPON

Sanja was the GOAT of a guide could not ask for a better person to do this 7 days with. Anything we ask for she was always more than happy to help. The crew was awesome too especially during lunch and us being tipsy hahahahaha. Loved every minute of it I would most definitely recommend but you will have to find more copies of SANJA LOL ❤️

The best cruise out of all the options out there

I had such a fun time on board or authentic boat ‘kapetan jure’ the crew on board were so nice and helpful! Our boat was a little on the older side but the cleanliness was still at a high standard. It’s the crew and passengers that really make it though. The chefs cooked us the most amazing lunches and sometimes I was rolling out the dining room haha. Our group of passengers were such a nice bunch of likeminded people and we have definitely made some friends for life. Our sail Croatia rep was a local Croatian called sanja and she was incredible at her job! Every day giving us honest recommendations on which excursions were the best. The best food, ice cream, bars ect on each island. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time, even organising party busses to take us to the clubs at night! Would highly recommend sail Croatia to anyone and would advise that they ask for their rep to be sanja. She made the trip phenomenal!

Great week and the highlight of my trip

We had such a fun time on Sail Croatia. Everything was taken care of for us, and all we had to do was wake up and explore Croatia. Our host Sanja was amazing, and had heaps of recommendations to eat and things to do. She made the experience so much better and was super friendly and helpful! Thoroughly recommend doing this week, just bring lots of cash as it is a cash dominant society (and drinks are expensive).

Best week ever

Our week long cruise on Princess Diana was the best week of our trip! Daddy Dino and the crew made the trip so much more enjoyable. Nikolina and Dino were very attentive and local knowledge was very helpful. Would recommend to all ages

So much fun in one week

My fiance and I made so many new friends on this trip, it’s very rare that you meet such a fun group of people and then get to spend a week making memories on the other side of the world that so few get to do in their lifetime. We were on Emmanuel and the entire crew was fantastic, so accommodating and hospitable. Andro was an excellent tour manager, a great balance of letting everyone have fun while also keeping everyone under control. His local knowledge of each stop really added to the experience, particularly his food recommendations, we learnt early on that he knew exactly where to go for good food. Special shoutout to Lauren who was on her training week with us. She was so lovely and anyone who has her for their tour manager is very lucky.

Trent/ Maddison

We had an awesome time had a really good group and great team leader Ceili. Always kept everybody up to date before each day will all the plans of the following day. Definitely would recommend sail Croatia to others especially if they are run by Ceili. Also the entire crew was great and happy to have a good time especially Tommy and the chef. Food was amazing aswell. Thanks sail Croatia

Great time with the kiwis and aussies

Marin and the crew of the pacific were excellent. They were very professional and made our trip a blast. The swim stops and the strong bonds you make on an intimate boat trip like this, makes me want to repeat the experience.

- Alejandro, 30/08/2024 10:14, Travelled in a Couple

Miren is the man

Miren our guide / organiser / GOAT. He was super organised and always made sure we were happy 24/7. Was great to have him on board. The crew on the Pacific were fantastic, food was great and the bar men always made sure we had a kitchen when buying a drink. 10/10 all round

Tuna 19/08

Our week was mint, especially thanks to Ivan and the crew who worked tirelessly for the entire week! Always felt well looked after and in safe hands. Didn’t have to think about anything other than sinking beers and having a good time. Rooms and facilities onboard were great. Would recommend!

- Luke , 28/08/2024 14:46, Travelled in a Couple

Best guide made for an amazing week!

Eos sail 14/8-21/8

This sail was so great. From our sail leader Marin and all of the crew on board they were excellent with making the whole week so fun and enjoyable. With Marin having so much knowledge about each destination and he was always happy to help or talk about anything. I really enjoyed our chats about football. Our sail group was so good and I’ve genuinely made friends that I’ll stay in touch with forever. It was such a fun week and I would very much recommend it

Malakate

Had a great time on the trip not one bad crew member got along well with everyone and the boat for the customer cabins could do with some fans or something as it gets hot in the top bunks

- Jahvia , 23/08/2024 15:07, Travelled in a Couple

Great week!

The boat (mala kate) and crew were amazing (Bruno, sasa, chef, rocko and skip). The vibe they created was spot on for what we needed of the week!

VIP Navigator- Salvi Di mare

Experience was incredible. The ship is luxurious and well worth the money. The bartenders are very friendly and funny and make really good cocktails ask for the Marco special. The Food was 10/10 chefs cooked 3 course meal for lunch everyday with different variety also accommodated to all dietary requirements including dairy free. Rooms were cleaned daily. The Sail rep Visko was very helpful all week was lots of fun and has great knowledge of Croatia. Would 100% recommend this boat for people who want to party but also be comfortable and enjoy a luxury ship around Croatia

Amazing time on Ship Columbo

Matilda, Bruno and all the staff stopped at nothing to make sure our trip was as perfect as possible. The destinations were incredible, the food amazing and the recommendations for activities were outstanding.

- Matt, 21/08/2024 02:56, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing trip and awesome crew

Really good experience on board the VIP navigator. Unbelievable crystal clear water, daily swimming stop was our favorite, I’ve been to so many places never have I seen water as clear as this. so many activities every day, up to you if wanna just chill on board or go out to explore. Crew were amazing, our representative Vicko was really helpful and fun to hang out with.I forgot to mention my wife’s dietary restrictions before the trip regarding certain type of meat and fava beans, I only inform him on day one and they were able to accommodate her by preparing a separate meal just for her. We were really pleased with that and food was delicious as if from a five star restaurant. And we met so many fun people and made friends from all over the world. Definitely recommend the vip navigator as it worth every penny!

Salve di mare

Crew and guide were great, anything you need they got for you Unfortunately we had to deal with some ungrateful guests on the boat and the crew handled it with such positive attitudes and great vibes. Bar staff were amazing, couldn’t have asked for better people behind the bar! (P.s what’s in the marko special?) Room was always clean and had fresh towels multiple times a day! Vicko was good, always had energy and was enthusiastic. His recommendation on where to eat etc was very helpful and appreciated The food was way better then what I was expecting, everything was cooking beautifully, even food I don’t normally like was amazing like the fish we had one day for lunch was cooked perfectly Everyone in the crew were so lovely, would definitely recommend this boat with crew the anyone

What an experience!

Toni, Marco, Lea and tin tin were the best staff we could have ever had. They accomodate to our every need and went above and beyond their line of duty. The ship was well equiped and had everything we needed. Whatever we needed, we just simply asked and we received. Loved like an absolute king! The only thing that was a bit grim was my girlfriend eating pasta with tomato sauce for 3/7 lunches and not being served an entree 2/7 times. Other than that - perfect! The staff were simply amazing. I love you Toni!

Pacific sail Croatia

Renae and I had the best week possible. We had the best tour manager in Dino, who during the week did everything to make our stay so memorable. Dino took time out of his day every day to check in with everyone and provided so many great recommendations which we enjoyed throughly. I can’t thank Dino and Sail Croatia enough for the week we had!! Thanks again and hope to see you all again one day.

- Daniel & Renae , 16/08/2024 17:56, Travelled in a Couple

Toni is the best guide ever

The Voscica crew, Lea, Marco and Tin Tin! The people on the sail week, the amazing locations, the swim stops, but most of all our guide Toni! He was amazing and made everything so much more fun. I love him.

- Marley, 16/08/2024 15:21, Travelled in a Couple

Best week of my life

On board the Eos Vessel , we recieved nothing but the best treatment, food and drink service and endless fun. The boat was always kept clean and tidy and was a smooth and happy week with no complaints. Our tour guide Marin was excellent in his knowledge of the area and dedication to provive everyone with the best experiences. I would highly recommend sail croatia to all of my friends and would happily sail with the Eos crew again.

- Griffin, 16/08/2024 07:16, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing week sailing down Croatia

Second time I have done a Sail Croatia, once with a best friend and just now with my wife. Both times have been the best weeks with amazing people on board and amazing crews. Such a fun care free time and would recommend to anyone

- Ryan, 16/08/2024 02:04, Travelled in a Couple

Great crew and tour guide!

I recently spent the week on the sail from split to Dubrovnik on board the boat Tuna with Callum as the host! Callum himself did a fantastic job in organising and ensuring everyone had a great time, along with leaving plenty of recommendations for places to go on every stop, and not letting getting sick get in the way of doing his job and having a good time! The crew on board tuna went above and beyond on making sure we had a great time, whether it finding alternate food for some fussy guests, too ringing the bell to get the party started on board. Couldn’t recommend it more and would happily do my trip again 10/10 times

- Zack, 14/08/2024 12:08, Travelled in a Couple

My week on a boat, trying to cause a mutiny.

It was a general fun time. The crew was wicked (but they wouldn't join my mutiny). Jess was wicked. All the activity options were cool and easy to get to. Drinks were fun, breaky, lunch and the 2 dinners were yummy.

- Jacob , 12/08/2024 19:17, Travelled in a Couple

Must do trip.

We had a great time on sail. Our guide Marin was excellent he knew loads of stuff about Croatia and pointed us in the right direction for food and drinks.

Voscica

Sail Croatia - review

The guide made the week what it was. Marin was the best, so gracious, kind and helpful with everything. As for the boat itself the beds need to be updated with new mattresses and ideally the sheets and towels would be changed once throughout the trip. Other than that i believe the guide and crew should be paid more money and the tipping be removed as i believe there was enough money spent on the trip itself to cover there wages without having to tip, especially since we pay for all extra activities and drinks onboard. Otherwise and despite all of this it was a great experience and one i would love to do again.

Best time with the best crew

Had an amazing time on the 7 day return sail from Split on board the Eden ship, Dino (our guide) was phenomenal, was brutally honest to us and looked after each of us like we were his family. The boat crew went above and beyond to make our experience truly memorable, with a night docked in a bay enjoying night swims and an onboard party. Couldn't have asked for a better experience from a better crew.

- Anonymous, 02/08/2024 16:25, Travelled in a Couple

Best experience of my life!

The boat was beautiful , the service was great, and the scenery was breathtaking. This is the best way to experience the Croatian coast and I highly recommend it. Special shout-out to our host, Lola, who went over and above to ensure everyone had a great time.

Sail Croatia review

The staff were fantastic especially Andro. Was great fun partying with us and showing us everything there was to see on the islands. Made our stay very enjoyable and highly reccomend doing a Sail week on Mali Luka boat.

- Jesse, 29/07/2024 13:53, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent 10/10

Great staff, delicious food and overall exceptional service. My girlfriend and I have nothing bad to say about our time on board. The head coordinator Borna is very professional and made it his duty to ensure everyone on the boat was having the best time they could have. 10/10, would recommend to anyone interested in sailing around Croatia. Thankyou Sail Croatia 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Boat needs maintenance

The bedrooms need a major upgrade they’re a sauna and the boat is in need of maintenance as water leaked through the roof in the dining whilst eating lunch

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2024-08-30:

Dear Jack, Thank you for leaving us with your review. Our Standard Ships are popular with budget conscious, independent travellers on extended travels throughout Europe. Our Premier and Ensuite ships offer the added benefit of air-condtioned cabins compared to our Standard ships which you chose to travel on. We regret any issues experienced during your cruise. It is common for the more traditional, wooden ships, which are full of charm and history, to face occasional leaks during severe weather conditions, which was unfortunately experienced in the small part of the dining room during your week. Your comments help us in our ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance our vessels. Thank you.

Princess Diana review with Marin

Marin our manager was the best person of all time. Made this trip better than any experience I could’ve ever dreamt of. 10/10 person, knowledge of everything and willingness to help people out. Such a big heart and a friend I’ll never forget. Erol the bar manager was also great, made the week so much fun and a great person.

- Jack, 22/07/2024 11:01, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent experience

I want to give a massive shoutout to Marin, Bruno, Rocco and the rest of the crew for making our week an unforgettable experience. These guys really cared about us and always went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and having the best time possible.
