My partner and I had a great week on Sail Croatia thanks to Lauren, Mateo and the other crew members. The weather was average but Lauren went above and beyond to maintain morale and organise alternative activities. The crew were very easy-going and friendly and we enjoyed learning about Croatia from them. Our only suggestion is to Sail Croatia directly - we think the itinerary could be improved. The Sail Croatia website states the white water rafting is available on the Split to Dubrovnik tour (which was not the case). We also would have appreciated more time exploring the towns as opposed to spending hours at swim spots.

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.

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 😌😌

The people - other travellers and the crew - are the highlight of this trip. Recommend for those who want to experience Croatia with new friends 😎

Matilda was amazing! The desserts weren’t the nicest and breakfast should have been a bit later but the rest of the crew were great too!
- Lauren, 21/08/2024 05:43, Travelled with Friend/s
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.

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!!

Marin was the best tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and very honest with his opinions. He would go out of his way to help you with anything you needed and made things run as smooth as possible. A great way to see the sights of Croatia!
- Hanna, 10/08/2024 11:38, Travelled in a Couple
Great way to see the islands and party through Croatia. Katarina our guide was so lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was nothing special but our guide and the experiences they provided made up for it,

Honestly the vibe throughout the whole trip was great. We had a fantastic group leader named Clara who offered heaps of activities and the entire trip was just so fun

Lola our host & the crew were awesome and made us feel very welcome. Lola was very informative and helpful in a range of situations. The rooms were clean and tidy and the daily breakfast and lunch meals were delicious and kept us filled up for big days. The swim stops were beautiful. We had a great time on board the Mali Ante!

The crew on board couldn’t have been any better they were honestly the nicest hardest workers you will meet always smiling and helping out in any way they could. The food was 5/5 amazing as well at the itinerary of the week with stops and swim spots. Only feedback would be the variety of drinks at the bar were not as advertised on the website and didn’t have the variety to suit some people we were with.

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
Sail Croatia was good. To make it better I would suggest more effort is put into the socialising of everyone on board e.g group drinking games, getting to know people etc. guided by the host. Also more time at each destination would be good! Not sooo long at swimming spots. Our host Clara did a good job for her first ever Sail!
- Annebelle , 03/07/2024 10:10, Travelled in a Couple
A great way to visit the highlights of Croatia! Beautiful towns, wonderful company, overall a fantastic week! Activities available were good, included food amazing (cheers Johnny) and Marin was a great guide! Definitely recommended!

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

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your detailed feedback! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Ceili. It’s wonderful to know she made your week special and helped you form lasting friendships. Regarding the dinners, we would like to clarify that while these meals are optional, we understand that many guests prefer to dine together, which is why we organise group dinners. In regards to drinks prices, you are welcome to request a daily bar tab receipt by checking with a staff member. They will happily provide this information and address any concerns you may have. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to making improvements based on your comments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future.
We were on the "Big Blue" ship, and to start with the only negative, the ship was smaller then we anticipated. The Navigator Cruise has 2 or 3 ships you can be put on depending on the price you pay. I would describe the accommodation has a hostel on a boat. However, this did not stop us all from having the best week, I would actually say it helped! Everyone was always together having chats, listening to music on the top deck, jumping from the top deck and making a memorable week for us. Lastly the crew and tour rep were all incredible!!! Highly Recommended 🥳

Our guide Anita did an amazing job and displayed a lot of care and made sure that everyone was comfortable and were having a good time. Anton and his crew were extremely welcoming towards us. The itinerary was well thought out and locations were unreal.

I was with Katarina on Zaramaris, Kat was incredible and made the whole trip incredible. Overall had a great time but some of the meals could have been better and felt some facilities were lacking, but this may have been due to being end of season.

Sail Croatia was amazing! Trip of a lifetime! I do recommend! Although it was very expensive, the day activities and offered meals on board are very over priced. Although it all is a lot of fun and over all I would do it again!
- Gemma, 12/09/2023 20:04, Travelled with Friend/s
Loved all the locations and met heaps of friends. Food and chef was great! However crew themselves weren’t the most enthusiastic about the trip particularly our guide/organiser. But you get out what you put in. Overall had a great time!

Had a great, rowdy group which made the week really good and entertaining! So much fun and great memories made! The crew was so lovely, food was yummy! We had 4 deck chairs between the 34 of us and 1 floaty. There were also no spare towels when they blew away while hung up. Those were the only downsides. But overall the girls and I had fun.
- Leanna, 25/08/2023 05:02, Travelled with Friend/s
Had a great week on Sail on the boat Afrodita! Great way to see beautiful parts of Croatia and meet people from all walks of life. The crew and tour manager were all excellent. The bar tab method could be improved significantly and at least one room clean should be provided during this period. Would definitely recommend but some room for improvement.
- Nouzar, 24/08/2023 12:44, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia was one of the best weeks of my life. We had an amazing group that was all super welcoming and ready for anything. Barb was an exceptional guide that was always smiling and willing to have a laugh with us. The crew on board worked so hard and did not stop cleaning up after us and making sure our drinks were full. Only down side is I didn’t realise how expensive the week would be. Bar tabs, excursions and tips and the end. The week itself is already not cheap and then there was a whole lot of cots that really added up. However, that is just small part. You can make money back but the experience was well worth every penny!

We were travelling with 7 friends on a boat of 30. The crew and staff were wonderful and the itinerary was amazing. If you plan on spending a relaxing 7 days this Sail isn’t for you, it’s a more of a 7 day bender with no let up. Our fellow sail mates were great fun and people on other boats also made the trip one to remember. However, the rooms and bathrooms were tiny, the free breakfast is irrelevant as no one is ever awake for it and the lunches were what I would describe as a 3rd world counties school camp. I would definitely recommend trying a KJU while you’re in Croatia!

Overall had such a fun week with an amazing bunch of people! Ioana our sail leader was incredible and went above and beyond for everyone, she made the trip unforgettable. Loved the boat and swim stops. Due to weather conditions we had a few schedule changes which should have been made up for! But overall was a bucket list trip I’ll never forget!

Our boat waiter, Marijan Skocibusic was an absolute legend! He kept the vibes up for the boat the entire week and it wouldn't have been the week it was without him. Sail's number one employee, THANK YOU MARIJAN!

Not only did we have the most amazing group of people who are now lifelong friends we had the most amazing crew on board. Ante our captain made us all feel very safe and comfortable. Gloria was a darling and always made sure we were fed and happy. Faruk was very knowledgeable and recommended some great activities for all of us within our budgets. Marin and Kula were so lovely and kind and always did Thier best to accommodate our needs. Boshco is an amazing chef and I have been missing his cooking since i left the boat. Will be bringing my friends who missed out back again next year and we will hopefully be onboard Vosicia again. Thank you all for such an amazing week. Xxxx

The people! We weren’t so lucky with the weather with a few rainy days, but the company made up for it. Everyone on our ship were so inviting and fun to hang out with, have definitely made some friends for life. The crew were also amazing! Romeo in particular deserves a raise!! He made this trip the best it could be!

We really enjoyed our time on board Kapetan Jure with sail rep Beatrix and the awesome crew! Although weather didn’t permit us to see everywhere we still had a great time exploring Croatia ! Special thanks to deck hand Mikola for fixing my suitcase and saving the day- really went above and beyond !

Had an awesome time, our boat crew and tour rep were incredible! They took really good care of us and helped us navigate the terrible weather we had for the first 4 days of Sail. Would honestly do it again it was so much fun, the group we had was amazing. I just wouldn't do it in May so the weather would be better. We could only do 3 out of 12 of our optional activities because of weather and a lot of bars/clubs were closed still. Our crew definately made sure to look out for us though and make sure our time was still fun #ClubCorridor
- Ethan, 25/05/2023 14:50, Travelled with Friend/s
The whole trip was fantastic but I would like to really highlight Aoife. She was the best person we could have had to be in charge of our boat. She was always involved and gave the best tips about all of the places we stopped. Could not recommend her enough!!!

Hi there, thank you for your review of your Navigator cruise with us this season on board Marija Magdalena. It's great to see you had a fantastic trip with us exploring Croatia and thank you so much for your kind words on Aoife, we will be sure to pass your comments onto the Team! Thank you so much.
The sail itself was amazing, not only were the crew and our host Mia so welcoming and attentive, there was plenty to see! The food on board pleasantly surprised me and we had a swim stop each day. The extra activities are loads of fun however some of them do overlap so you have to choose which one you prefer. If you are looking for more of a party boat definitely book in the peak season as I booked late august and we had a few chillers but that didn’t stop us from having a ball. Overall a great week, thanks again!
- Tayla, 05/09/2022 07:30, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia was really good, great weather and a lot of place to visit. For a big group like I was travelling with I would of rather the rep introduced us all to each other. By not doing this we didn’t really get to know each other until the last night. Where as this should of been the first night, I didn’t know half the peoples names until later on in the trip. Crew was so nice, captain was great got to know a lot about the sail and how it all works. However apart from that it was good!

Such a fun way to travel, waking up on the ocean each morning was amazing! Choosing the premiere boat was completely worth it for it’s ensuite and AC.
- Priyanka, 30/08/2022 12:39, Travelled with Friend/s
We had an amazing trip ! The boat was super clean. The crew ensured that the boat was always spotless. The crew was also very friendly and welcoming. Our guide mila was amazing. She was knowledgeable and went out of her way to give us tours of every place we stopped at. She was kind, funny, and made our trip the best it could be. She was organized without making us feel like we were at school. She brought the group closer. The food on the boat was cooked very well. Everyone enjoyed the food so much. I wrote on my application that I was vegan however on arrival it was not known. It would be better if there was better vegan options for me instead of the regular menu without meat. Some days all I could eat was cucumber and tomato. Also the chef used a lot of oil on my food. The food was cooked well but a load of oil was added all over it at the end. I am not used to this and it was hard to eat. Overall a great trip thanks to mila and the mali ante crew :)
