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.

Beautiful Croatian coast and a good crew

- Tony, 07/10/2024 12:52, Travelled in a Couple

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!

The Croatian islands are so beautiful to see when biking. The EOS ship was not as nice as other pictures on the website. The staff were all pleasant. Vegetarian options were limited. Despite rain, the staff worked very hard to reroute us and gave us a wonderful experience.

The Guides were great. friendly, helpful, knowledgable. The islands were stunning. However, the boat was only standard. The food was quite basic. The cabin was very cramped, the bathroom smelled bad and the bed sheets were a problem. Two single sheets on a double bed! We were in a tangle all night. A double sheet or duvet would have been much better.

Anton and Karla our cruise / bike leaders did well with the large group of cyclists that were on-board the Princez Diana. Delaying a couple of rides due to weather and adding an additional ride for the island that we missed due to the weather. However, some of the riders did not like the fact that the additional 20km added for this additional ride were not given the option of missing it as it was stated before the start of the ride the group was told the additional ride would be optional. The kitchen staff were outstanding with excellent choices made for B / L and Dinners that we were given on the boat. I would've appreciated coffee included with lunch or dinner though not just breakfast. As for the room (Cabin #5) it was adequate as we did not have a working safe - staff said someone would fix it but that was never done. The venting in the bathroom was not good and the annoying relay pump sound was pretty bad when anyone was using water on the boat. I would recommend the cruise.

Cycling was great, tour guides very knowledgeable of the area.

- Deanna , 20/09/2024 07:28, Travelled in a Couple

We had a great time, all 28 people from all over the world, got on fantastically well. The bikes were of a good quality and everyone managed to get on really well with the e-bike I would have liked some longer rides, the longest ride was only about 50 kms, I would have liked to do this every day. The sail Croatia jersey, should be free to all and a day set aside when everyone wears it. I was the only person that bought a jersey and it certainly was not worth the £50 paid. We only swam off the boat twice and this was something we were looking forward to, This trip is not cheap and I realise we had one of the better boats, but with payment of food when off the boat and more expensive drinks when on the boat, our limit of spending was soon exceeded, to be then expected to pay for tips and what was an expensive payment was above what we could afford. The crew should not have to rely on tips and should be covered on the initial spend. I would be happy to talk more if requested.

- Martyn, 09/09/2024 07:39, Travelled in a Couple

Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend! A few suggestions/tips: - We realize that it’s challenging to prepare food on a boat and to meet different preferences. We would suggest having at least some lunch buffets, where people could choose (e.g., salads, sandwiches) instead of 3-course meals. A buffet would be quicker and enable people to sit on the desk rather than the often very hot and stuffy dining room. - The food was often very heavy (fried meats, limited vegetables/salads). If guests were warned about this, they could request vegetarian or other accommodations. - We were not allowed to bring food on board so snacks should be available (free or not). There was fruit but nothing else and often we were unable to leave the boat. We were often quite hungry after the ride but had to wait to eat. - It would be helpful if the trip leader provided information about the towns further in advance than the afternoon that we arrived so there would be enough time to plan.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Excellent exercise to work off the meals! Our guides were super, well organized, and very hospitable. Met people from all over the world. Comfortable ship, Well organized itinerary. Enjoyed the swimming, particularly on hot August days! One thing to note is that it was not clear on the website nor from the saleswoman with whom we corresponded if the "total ascent/descent" for a day is combined ascent & descent or the amount one ascends and additionally descends. It is the amount one ascends and then descends as well. For example if a day's total ascend/descend is 640 meters (as ours was listed on Day 3), that means you will climb a total of 640m and then descend a total of 640m.

The staff were all impressively friendly , helpful, knowledgeable , accommodating and extremely hard working.. The communication regarding daily rides, activities were impressive and able to be flexible when needed The other guests made the trip exceptional sharing the boat and bike rides but life experiences and stories. We are confident we made friends from around the world that we will maintain and see in the future

Tour guides and picturesque daily cycling,

- Julie, 12/08/2024 09:46, Travelled in a Couple

The cycle crew (Miranda and Andro) were friendly and knowledgeable giving us history and insight into all the islands we visited. We started off as strangers and left as friends - each person on board cheering on others in the group To ride through the villages was a real treat. The crew onboard the ship Emanuel were also friendly and accommodating

- Scott, 04/07/2024 12:32, Travelled in a Couple

Love the exploration of islands and cycling off a boat . The crew and tour guides Marija and Mila were wonderful as was Andre, the server. They need a battery microphone so guests can hear as the engine was constantly running and it was so difficult to hear. Suggestion : 3 dinner meals and 3 lunch meals , alternate so we would not always be dependent on getting back for lunch instead eat at swim areas on beach without the rush and very early morning breakfasts . Suggest lighter lunches , salads fruit fish …and fresh bread in the mornings with Greek yogurt . Food was very good but too filling . Less food, higher standard . Soups in the heat ? Big salads more appreciated . Suggest eggs be cooked while people sit instead of cold overcooked eggs Also a better way to connect with guests we need name tags… very awkward trying to remember people’s names .

We fully enjoyed our experience with Sail Croatia. The Princeza Diana is a beautiful, spacious ship and the staff were fantastic. Our tour guides Ivica and Tonka kept us very well informed. They were fully engaged with the guests ensuring everyone had a fabulous experience. We were glad we opted for e-bikes. It allowed us to ride easy and soak up the incredible scenery. The guests were a very special group of people. We made many new friends we hope to see again. We highly recommend Sail Croatia for your next vacation adventure.

- Audrey, 05/06/2024 22:20, Travelled in a Couple

The boat was comfortable, the daily ride excursions were well organized, taking us to some of the most beautiful view points in Croatia.

Enjoyed the trip and the other passengers with similar interests. We were all generally the same age group with extensive travel experience. It was a great group of people I rated it 3-1/2 out of 5 because having to keep 34 cyclists together was VERY time consuming. We ended up stopping and waiting often on busy roads or uphills.. which made it difficult for some to start again. . I feel you should break the groups to 16 per. One group slower and one faster. We had traditional cyclist in the group (kudos to them, as there were some steep sections) but it had us waiting often. one time more than 45 minutes.. I feel we could have seen more and done a lot more cycling if it was split out. I think most of the participants felt that way.. I would do another trip based on my experience. If all the cyclists were on e-bikes. The food was delicious and plentiful and the cooks, waiters, seaman and staff were amazing.

We like the bike ride although they to short. The food was excellent. The guides and crew staff were nice. One deception: the stop for swimming were respected even during the beautiful days.

- Anonymous, 22/05/2024 07:01, Travelled in a Couple

We decided to enjoy the bike/sail option from Split to Dubrovnik. Every portion of the trip found beautiful scenery. Our guides and the boat crew were excellent, and were quick to make adjustments as rough sea weather rolled in one day. Even though we do a lot of biking at home, we were very thankful to have gone with the e-bike bike option for this trip. We were disappointed the hot tub on our boat was not available. Having that as an option after biking or swimming would have been nice. The crew did a great job of accommodating individual food requirements. Thanks for a very nice week!

- Paul, 21/05/2024 07:00, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides were amazing especially Ana who worked tirelessly to answer our question, went over and above to help us with additional activities including restaurant suggestions and booking activities. She was available the whole trip, working long hours, always polite and, patient even though she must have been tired.

Nice bike ride, good food and enjoyable guides and staff.

- André, 20/05/2024 15:18, Travelled in a Couple

The cruise is well planned with suitable amount of sight, cycling and sailing. It was of course a pity that due to the weather conditions we couldn’t go to all planned destinations, but all in all the islands and the coastline are incredibly beautiful and we can’t be sorry about the changes made. Food is very good and there is plenty of it! Fresh drinking water is served all the time and the drinks were reasonably priced as well. The cabins are small, but adequate for a week. The best part was the people we traveled with <3. We had the great time and experience and could recommend this to anyone willing to cycle and see more quiet places of Adriatic islands.

- Maria, 20/05/2024 11:03, Travelled in a Couple

The crew on the Afrodita were brilliant very helpful and obliging. They were 5 star the only reason l submitted a 4 star was because of the poor ventilation In the below deck cabins. There was quite a bit of moisture in the air. However the crew and cycle guides were the shining light for us. Highly recommending this trip to friends.

- Spencer, 13/05/2024 14:36, Travelled in a Couple

The trip was good! The food was average! Would have liked to gone on longer bike rides on all seven islands. The boat did not provide blankets for bedding. The Itinerary changed sometimes, just needed to be informed sooner. The two guides were excellent, provided a safe and enjoyable experience. I would like the tip to be included in the price of the trip, it becomes awkward to find a medium price. The bikes were good but longer rides would have been great! I would recommend this trip to my colleagues. Thank you!

- Randy, 13/05/2024 06:51, Travelled in a Couple

Boat crew and guides were excellent. Daily rides were manageable but recommend Ebikes as there is plenty of hills. Cabins were comfortable. Crew catered for a variety of diets. Captain and boat have a great story. We look forward to returning for another sail cycle holiday

- Will, 05/05/2024 16:38, Travelled in a Couple

We enjoyed our cycle-sail experience on Colombo, it was an interesting cruise with relatively easy cycling on e-bikes. Nothing too arduous but a feeling of tiredness at the end of most days. The crew worked hard and the captain keeps a tidy, organised ship. We loved the guide’s knowledge - Marin and Mila had so much Croatian history to share, it was awesome. Tips for improvement: many of the crew smoked which wasn’t an issue until early mornings when the cigarette smoke wafted into our cabin and woke us up (sometimes as early as 5:30am)! The cabins could do with some maintenance on Colombo - leaking showers, freezing cold AC that blow’s directly on the beds.

- Christine, 23/10/2023 06:47, Travelled in a Couple

The main feature of enjoying a venture like this one is the efficiency of the staff. They were first rate. From the crew, kitchen and food prep. ladies, waiters and guides they always went above and beyond. Four stars instead of five is due to some maintenance around the boat. My understanding is that the issues are dealt with in the off season. (bathrooms-floors were always wet. Portholes could not be opened.). It wasn't a game changer. We would go back.

- Doris , 21/10/2023 12:18, Travelled in a Couple

Fabulous guides and crew, the itinerary was so diverse with plenty of stops for drinks, swims, and sightseeing of course. The food was sensational and way above expectations. I didn’t give 5 stars as the rooms could do with a bit of a smarten up. The bedding was a bit musty and need new mattresses. A bit of a negative in the last night was payments had to be made between 6 and 8pm. Many of us had planned to go out for a farewell dinner together but with the distance to old town from the boat meant this was not possible. We came back early to pay. We should have been able to fix up bill while we were all on the boat before docking.

- Kristene , 09/10/2023 06:28, Travelled in a Couple

The locations visited were beautiful and fascinating. Our guides (Marija and Mila) provided an excellent experience given the challenges of ability/illness across our group. I particularly valued their passion for Croatia and what is has to offer and their insights into their history. Cabins were clean and very comfortable and general boat amenities were excellent. The ebikes could be improved - they worked well for some, I found them cumbersome and the geometry made them uncomfortable but they got us where we needed to go. The food could definitely be improved.

- Fiona, 04/10/2023 18:54, Travelled in a Couple

The staff — especially the guides, waiter, and kitchen staff! The guides, Ivica and Ivan, were very knowlegible and always attentive to every possible request or question, bringing confidence and energy to everyone. Our waiter, Mario, was a tireless worker and so kind and thoughtful. And Antonio, the cook, and his helper were accepting and creative in answering to each person’s dietary preferences.

- Anonymous, 04/10/2023 14:51, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides, Ivitza and Tonga, were brilliant. The whole crew did a very good job. The bikes were great and the cycling excellent. We booked late and got a lower deck cabin, which was small and smelly - no ventilation, porthole did not open, no hooks to hang anything.

I enjoyed sailing between the islands, the crew were great as were the guides. The boat was comfortable and clean.

The girl, Ilma, in the dining room/ bar. She made me feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. I was feeling uncomfortable when I arrived and then again a few days into our trip. She made me feel like everything would be fine. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She was an amazing person! Someone you want on your team. Thank you!

All crew & hosts were excellent. Lola & Marin were helpful & patient with us slower riders. They went out of their way to make the trip very enjoyable. PLus Marin local knowledge & history. Food excellent. Ivan was great. Nothing was too much. Had some great chats with The Captain - Ante Feedback- Maybe swap some lunches out for dinners so we could spend some more time in port. At times felt rushed to get back for lunch. More swimming options. Not super happy with the way the bar tab was provided. Just given a $amount. No details of purchases during the cruise. Wanted an invoice so we could check it. Would suggest that this be an e-bike only tour.

- Anonymous, 25/09/2023 04:05, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides Nina and Marin were so organised and good at organising us. We were well informed of the next day's planned activities and free time outside of the bike ride. We loved the bikes and the rides. Our only suggestion is that all E bikes ride together or all hybrid bikes ride together but there is a lot of time wasted waiting for the hybrid bikes unfortunately. We had 28 E bike riders and 4 hybrid riders. The boat, the people, the experience will stay with us for a lifetime. Thanks

- Michelle, 25/09/2023 01:38, Travelled in a Couple

The actual tour itinerary was very good, although the 30km days need to be longer. The guides communications skills need to be improved and the rooms are EXTREMELY basic. Food was filling and had a home cooked flair to it. We were on a premier boat and really would have liked something with better rooms. Boat staff were excellent.

- Norman, 22/09/2023 23:15, Travelled in a Couple

The tour guides and boat crew were all fantastic, friendly people that knew what they were doing and were super accommodating. The bike rides were great. We saw a lot of the islands by bike. The meals on the ship were ok, but not great. Certainly, there was plenty of food. Our cabin was not great. It was always damp even with the A/C running. Towels never dried out and the bed always felt clammy.

- Bob, 19/09/2023 15:40, Travelled in a Couple

Attentiveness of the entire crew and guides. Enjoyrd the planned stops, options to explore solo or with our cycling guide Mila. Food prepared by the chef was top notch and covered a wide range of mediterranian fare. The cabin my gf and i had was much bigger than expected and very comfortable. I do wish the rides had been a little longer but as discussed with our guides, not all groups are avid cyclists. Other than that the routes were pleasant. Coming from the states, getting used to a heavy smoking culuture did detract a bit.

- Erik, 18/09/2023 11:27, Travelled in a Couple

My second year in a row with sail Croatia bike tour. I would have given them a 5/5 if the food was better. After being on the Mali Alta last year and having amazing food. Food on Colombo was mediocre. Fried fish to Dry to eat. Fried pork to dry to eat. Weird starters every day at lunch. Food should be consistent across all boats offering same experience. Tour guides were amazing. Crew on boat super nice. Wish they would do more miles each day and offer a self guided tour. Will definitely do again.

- Linda gellatly, 18/09/2023 10:03, Travelled in a Couple

The trip was great, we had a very good time. The cycling hosts were good and informative. Crew were ok but not so customer friendly. Lunch was generally good but breakfast became sparse and always only luke warm at best, from the middle of the week only fruit and specialist teas were available as run out of 'normal' breakfast tea. rooms were adequate but toilet smells were constant plus could not understand why single people were given a double room+single bed to share when married couples had single beds?

- Harvey, 04/09/2023 21:41, Travelled in a Couple

The trip was very well organized - the staff very accommodating - Mario the waiter was exceptional and our Chef Antonia prepared amazing meals every day-the tour guides did an excellent job. The whole team made the experience wonderful. Each island offered a unique experience. Many opportunities to swim off and on the boat. I would have given 5 stars but did not like mixing cyclists that were not on e-bikes with our group. We spent a great deal of time waiting in the very hot sun for the other cyclists to catch up from the hill climbs. Would suggest they charge an extra fee for those cyclists so they could have a separate guide or make e-bikes compulsory - every island has many hills to climb. I will return again with the rest of my family. Also finding the boat at port was very difficult and stressful .The directions were embedded in an email. A separate email with that information only would have been very helpful. Overall I would recommend this company. Remember to pack water shoes!

It has been nearly a year since our Croatia trip and if you’re considering, absolutely do it! This is a small company that has a homey vibe with a small close knit staff. Some parts “rustic” but the overall value of the experience was amazing. My husband and I opted for the e-bikes and loved the option to be on autopilot while climbing hills and ascending. We had an amazing group of travelers on our boat (somehow children did become part of our trip, age 10 and 12? which felt a little unsafe with the bikes and climbs). Breakfasts were a great spread of veggies, poached eggs, variety of breads, scones, small pastries, coffee, juices, spreads, etc. Lunches were simple and straightforward (lettuce salad, soup, etc) and dinners were also straight forward and simple. Seemed healthy to a degree and most all dinners came with some dessert. Folks who were veg didn’t get a lot of food choice. Boat was a bit outdated but comfy/clean. If you’re considering just do it! So much fun!

- Kristine , 21/07/2023 14:36, Travelled in a Couple

We absolutely loved our cycle Sail Croatia. The crew were outstanding they worked tirelessly to ensure that all our needs were met with a smile and time for a chat patiently helping us with our very bad Croatian!! The food was delicious and plentiful a three course lunch every day!! Our guides Bart and Miranda were outstanding not only did they patiently take us on stunning bike rides every day but shared lots of history, loads of local recommendations and friendship just perfect. Our fellow passengers were so much fun, despite a varied age group and different backgrounds all were of a similar mindset and everyone was so friendly. We loved every moment thank you Sail Croatia for a very memorable week.
