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 yacht is well maintained, modern, clean and spacious. Hosts, Crews, and guides are friendly polite and knowledgeable. Meals are delicious. Croatia coast sea is calm. Sleep in the yacht is pleasant. No worries for sea sickness. Every night in different towns, different beaches without packing, unpacking and bus around. A truly must have experience.

Rare, exotic locations in a very nice, stable boat. Lots of tasty food and a very kind and helpful crew on board.

Friendly and well organised hosts, efficient and helpful crew, comfortable and spacious ship, great food (but lunches a bit too big). Great itinerary with visits to a variety of locations, but would be happy for cycling routes to be a bit longer. Great bunch of fellow holiday makers who made to holiday all the more enjoyable.

To the crew and guides of Mali Ante I would like to express my sincere thanks for a brilliant week spent with you. Every aspect of the trip was handled with precision and professionalism. I had a fantastic time and will be back again in the future. Kind regards Ivan

I had such a great time on the Mali Ante with guides Miranda and Josko. From the first minute of arrival they both worked to ensure the entire group was having a good time, and understanding the timeline for activities. Miranda and Josko brought great energy and humor to the entire trip that the whole group appreciated. Even when the weather was unpredictable, Miranda and Josko had alternative plans in place to ensure our time in Croatia was balanced with adventurous outings and beautiful scenic time to relax. They also provided interesting historical context to each island we visited by briefing us before and during our outings so we truly left with a better understanding of this amazing country of Croatia. Sail Croatia provides a great vacation on the Adriatic, but Miranda and Josko go above and beyond to provide an exceptional memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

- Mark, 05/09/2023 23:18, Travelled Solo

The attentive, courteous crew, the entertaining, caring guides, the food, our fellow guests, the itinerary, the accommodations, the equipment, the...everything made this vacation trip one of the most memorable ever!

- Cathy and John, 27/06/2023 05:17, Travelled Solo

I had such a great time on the trip with Sail Croatia. From the boat and how well kept it was to the delicious food to the fantastic itinerary - hard to even know where to begin. But what really made it such a great experience was the guides - shoutout to Marin and Ivan - who both took great pains to ensure we were having a good time and they never failed to answer questions or accommodate requests. I can not recommend Sail Croatia's cycle and sail trip enough! Its a great experience!

- Anonymous, 29/05/2023 11:49, Travelled Solo

The scenery was incredible , the tour host Andrej and Dora extremely knowledgable the Captain and bar staff Ivan and Duke were so welcoming , we had unseasonably good weather , the bikes provided were perfect , great job crew and hope your busy long season goes equally as well.

- Peter, 01/05/2023 09:33, Travelled Solo

The best way to explore Dalmatian coast is to sail between islands. Great meals served on board, great relaxed vibe and company of guides. A lot can be seen on each island cycling from point A to B, often with boat waiting at point B. Great evenings with good local wine and food. I loved that, meet some great people on this trip, got a lot of invites too. Very keen to try other routes with Sail Croatia!

- Maciej, 17/10/2022 13:31, Travelled Solo

The sailing route, cyling on the beautiful islands with likeminded people, great crew and guides, food was fabulous and the weather was very nice.

- Stuart , 10/10/2022 15:10, Travelled Solo

Amazing trip. The concept of living on a boat and cycling each day worked perfectly. Great boat, other passengers, fab guides and boat employees, island scenery beautiful. The BEST way to experience Croatia!

- Michael , 10/10/2022 04:17, Travelled Solo

All the journey was better than expected. Very good guides and good service.

- Lars Bjarne, 20/09/2022 09:42, Travelled Solo

The islands of Croatia were spectacular and the cycling while cruising on a boat gave me the perfect chance to explore them. Our guides Ivan and Mila were great. One had great knowledge of the local history while the other was one of the best lead cycle guides I've ever had.

- Marek, 13/09/2022 13:07, Travelled Solo

Cruising and cycling must be the best way to see the Croatian islands. Made even better by my fellow shipmates, guides and crew. Cycling on a classic hybrid bike was very tough on a couple of days, with long 'Tour de France' type climbs. Unless you're used to such climbs and in good shape, opt for an e-bike (even though it's cheating!!). Food and accommodation were good, Ports stopped at were wonderful and varied with amazing restaurant options (especially Korcula, which is unmissable)

- John, 12/09/2022 16:50, Travelled Solo

Crew, fellow travelers,weather, guides! I had a wonderful experience with your company lead tour! The guides Julie and Dora were great! Very personable and knowledgeable of all aspects of this trip. Cudos to them! They made the trip memorable There wasn’t as much cycling as I had thought there would be, but with the high temps this week it was fine as it was. We did get shorted one day because the boat had to move earlier than planned. The food was good! Breakfasts perfect combination. Lunches too heavy for this activity. Captains dinner was great! I am spreading the word on how much I enjoyed this. Steve Williams

- Steve, 18/08/2022 18:54, Travelled Solo

So many incredible things about thos week with bikes and boat in Croatia. The scenery was a new paradise around every corner. The organisation of the bpatvtop notch. The crew excellent. Our guides on the bike Ivan and Hrvoje just the best bastards you could possibly have. The accommodation and boat superb and the chef pilot on excellent food

- John , 08/08/2022 08:22, Travelled Solo

The trip in May 2022 was fantastic. The ship is great, the meals wonderful, the biking was interesting and neither overchallenging or underchallenging. The island sites for riding were beautiful and the roads used were mostly without cars. For our bike holiday from May 21 to 28, 2022m the weather was terrific. We had one high wind crossing but mostly flat calm seas. The people in our bike group were lovely, kind and mutually supportive. I would recommend Sail Croatia for others to consider if you want to have an active holiday in Croatia, a very beautiful country.

- Stephen Beerman, 30/05/2022 02:14, Travelled Solo

Staff on board is A+++, and the food, was exceptional, along with the wine choices. The rooms are quite nice, and the envy of other cruises we met along the way. I would suggest for a group of 24 cyclists, that 2 guides are not enough. Plus on a short incline to reach a busy road, we should have pushed our bikes up. Instead, many cyclists fell back, and pushed me into the bramble. Serious injury had i landed on the road rather than the bushes!!! Xrays to come shortly.

- Gerry, 28/05/2022 12:28, Travelled Solo

A very friendly crew and captain on board a lovely boat that has charm and character. Good nourishing meals helped us prepare for our daily rides and a filling 3 course lunch upon return never failed to disappoint.

- Graham, 17/05/2022 10:06, Travelled Solo

Company, crew, food, croatia, boat, sun organisation. All 5 star

The staff, the boat, the islands, the country and the sites to see!

- George , 09/11/2021 13:08, Travelled Solo

Loved every moment of this adventure. The history, the cycling, the views, the challenges but mostly the crew and the cycling guides. H and Marin were the best and meeting a bunch of wonderful folks for all around. New friends, new adventures and a great way to see several of the over 1000 islands. Off on another day of solo cycling adventure on the mainland. Go for it you won't be disappointed.

The people on board, the crew. the routes, the country!

Excellent boat for this type of holiday. Clean, well presented, comfortable, choice of a number of socialising areas, good sized and facilitated cabins. Captain and all staff including Sail Croatia cycling guide, were outstanding doing everything to make this trip so enjoyable. In particular the chef was outstanding in producing really lovely meals. The atmosphere created by the whole staff and crew was extremely friendly and all were endlessly helpful. My third trip with Sail. Croatia and whilst all have been really good, this has been the best. If we had been on the Southern Route with this boat and crew then it would have been a most outstanding holiday. Thank you Sail Croatia and appreciate the office staff too to accommodate the wishes of customers through this very difficult trading time.

- Colin, 27/09/2021 07:28, Travelled Solo

I would highly recommend this trip around Croatia's beautiful islands. The boat (Mali Ante) is fabulous and the staff were supberb. The organisation of the cycle rides was such that we saw many fantastic places over 6 different islands. The food on the boat was amazing, and, when we did eat on land, our fantastic guides booked some really nice places to eat. I really could not fault this holiday and would do it again in a heartbeat.

- Steve, 30/08/2021 06:59, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia made everything so easy and it was incredible to cycle across several Croatian islands. The ship crew (captain Antonio, Ivan, Joseph, and more) and tour guides (Dora and Herve) did everything possible to make us comfortable and show us a good time. I'll never forget this trip and hope to do another trip with Sail Croatia!

- Rayfes, 09/08/2021 16:03, Travelled Solo

The boat. Outdated, cramped, badly ventilated in the downstairs cabin. Cupboard space inadequate for two people as there was no shelving. Dining room space just coped. Crockery inadequate with just one cup per person and some had chips out. Insufficient glasses for morning juice. Breakfast was a race as there limited yogurts, fruit drinks, poor choice of cereal, very poor coffee, real milk not always available. Main leader was disorganised speaking before all holiday members were there so it became. Chinese’s whispers to find information. Meeting times announced were not kept to by leader and he would start early. Boat left port before announced times. I could go on.

- Colin, 23/09/2019 05:29, Travelled Solo

The mix of people in the group and the way everyone mingled was great. Sailing and cycling was a great way to see the country, miss waking up in the boat The crew and the staff were helpful and added to the experience

The itinerary was fantastic! The option for ebike made my experience so much better. The ship was clean and well run and all the Sail Croatia people were fantastic.

FROM START TO FINISH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS . WHEN MAKING THE BOOKING STAFF WERE HELPFUL & COOPERATIVE . THE BOAT STAFF WERE ALL VERY FRIENDLY & PROFESSIONAL & FULLY INVOLVED IN THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE . THE BOAT ITSELF WAS IMMACULATE . THE CROATIAN ISLANDS ARE JUST STUNNING & THE BERTHS SELECTED TOOK US TO THE QUIETER SIDE OF THE ISLANDS . THE CYCLING ROUTES WERE ACHIEVABLE BY ALL & WE WERE REWARDED WITH FANTASTIC VIEWS . FELLOW ADVENTURERS FROM ALL ANY COUNTRIES WERE ALL OF A SIMILAR MINDSET & WE QUICKLY BONDED & MADE NEW FRIENDS . PARTICULAR MENTION OF OUR CRUISE HOSTS ANA & MARANDA WHOSE DEDICATION & COMPETENCE MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE . THANKS TO ALL X GARY PS WOULD I BOOK A SAIL CROATIA CRUISE -- ABSOLUTELY YES , WHEN ARE WE GOING ???

- GARY, 15/10/2018 21:07, Travelled Solo

Just finished a cruise and cycle holiday from Split visiting several islands off the mainland on board Ocean boat. This is a great way to see the lovely islands by bike. The group on board got on really well and was made up of guests from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and England totalling 31 in number. The boat was ideal for this type of trip and the whole crew did a great job looking after us. The chef was a character and cooked up some wholesome Croatia cuisine. The organisation of the rides was first class as was the quality of bike. Even the less-fit were able to use eBikes so even the steepest of climbs (up to around 300-500m from sea level) meant that the whole group could participate on the rides. I travelled solo but this is an activity holiday and everybody got on so well during the whole week. There was never a dull moment. The cycling, the drinking, meals in port, having fun on the boat...... this is a

Everything was very well organized, the captain and staff on board was great, the food was imaginative, the boat was top class, the bikes were comfortable and the guides were excellent. They even threw in good weather. A very pleasant and memorable experience overall.

I have been on several cycling holidays but what attracted me to this one was the combination of cycling and sailing. Everywhere you went in Croatia there were stunning views and although the cycling was quite challenging at times it was well worth it to see yet more stunning views at the top of a climb. The guides were great fun and the staff on board were fantastic. Food was 1st class and the remaining cyclists were a great bunch. If I was to make one criticism, and I am reluctant to do so it would be that the organisation of the rides could have been better. I felt that there should have been three staff on each ride one at the front.who nobody should pass,one in the middle to wait by junctions to show people which way to go and one at the back to bring in the taill enders. This is no reflection on the tour leaders who were all excellent. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone and I intend doing the Southern Route next year, Thanks for a fabulous holiday.

- Anthony, 02/10/2017 07:51, Travelled Solo

Small cruise was a great way to meet new people. Cameraderie was excellent. Guides were wonderful people, super friendly. And why not?

- John, 21/08/2017 05:16, Travelled Solo

A really great bunch on the boat, great cycling in a beautiful country. Well organised and unexpectedly good food on the boat. What is not to like? Just relax and enjoy the undulations........ I will be back for the northern route.

- Simon, 30/06/2017 19:23, Travelled Solo

I can honestly say, it was one of the best experiences of my life. The boat and crew were fantastic, the food was exceptional and the guides were the highlight of my trip.I would gladly do the trip again any day and I do recommend the trip to all my friends and anyone who might be interested in doing such an adventure holiday. Great value for money.
