Many thanks to Dora and the Crew of Almissa. A hugely enjoyable cruise, great yoga sessions by Dora with stunning swim stops as we travelled the coast and islands of Croatia. A lot of fun too! Beautiful islands and ports to explore, with the help of Dora’s top tips we had a great holiday and would throughly recommend.

Our vacation experience with Sail Croatia was excellent and memorable. Having cruised in Europe, Caribbean and Alaska on much larger ships we were looking for a new cruise experience: Sail Croatia delivered a new, higher level of cruising intimacy to us. The yacht Salle Di Mare was unique in terms that it is a mix of traditional design coupled with modern elegance. There were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy a tranquil cruise around the Croatian islands. It's a very intimate experience unlike the large cruise liners. You get to meet the crew and see them working every day. You mingle all the time with fellow passengers and make new friends. And you have this against a backdrop of picture-perfect islands, historic sites, and blue (clear) water. Plus, our cruise had 6 out of 7 days of sunshine, and on the day without sun we had indoor wine tasting :-) As an endorsement, we are already planning another Sail Croatia cruise!

Our Skipper Duje was wonderful. His excellent sailing experience and regular 'check-ins' to see how we were all doing made for a very relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable week of sailing in beautiful Croatia! I was very nervous about being 'out there on the high seas' but with Duje's confidence in his skills and putting our safety and well being as being the #1 focus each day, I soon felt calm. Our hostess Nola, was lovely and we really appreciated her talent to cook delicious meals! We would definitely recommend Sail Croatia and especially engaging Duje to Skipper a Charter. Warm regards Jenny and Terry

Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.

No snacks and coffee service only a few hours a day? Also couldn’t get a beverage while band was playing? Boat lost revenue during entertainment because couldn’t access the bar

My husband and I booked a 7 night cruise on the Libertine for our 20th wedding anniversary. Our skipper was Linda and she was amazing! The whole week was perfect, minus some weather scares. Each island was so stunning. Wineries, great food and super nice people. I could do this every year!!

Unbelievable places, once in a lifetime activities and a fantastic crew. Lateah our trip manager was a brilliant guide. Always up for a good time, knowledgeable beyond her years and extremely approachable amidst ever changing circumstances. Highly recommend. Tommy the waiter on our boat was also a 10/10, always went above and beyond, very funny and down to earth guy.

My family and I were just on Sundance with the fabulous skipper Jack Sparrow. From the moment we stepped on board Jack made us feel so welcome, he was very helpful, insightful and wonderful to deal with. We were warned about upcoming bad weather and he went out of his way to make sure we were safe and happy the whole time. The whole experience was just incredible and I would highly recommend both Jack and Sail Croatia to anyone who wants to see Croatia in its prettiest form. We went to lots of islands and bays throughout the week. Loved it so much!! Thanks Sail Croatia and Jack!!

I could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The crew were wonderful, especially the guest co-ordinator Karolina. The boat is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The ports we visited were beautiful and each offered a unique experience. The daily swim stops were stunning and really made each day wonderful. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.

Great way to see the islands and the cycling is challenging. Cabin is very comfortable. Crew were extremely helpful and friendly. Guides were very engaging. Definitely recommend this if you come to Croatia.

Bartul and Miranda were the best guides! They did a great job discussing the history and culture of the areas we were biking through. They were charismatic, patient, fun and genuinely interested in everyone on the ship. The presentations of the upcoming bike rides were informative and prepared us well for the difficulty of each ride. Bartul and Miranda went above and beyond to make our vacation amazing!

Thoroughly enjoyed cruising the Croatian islands on our Dubrovnik to Split and return to Dubrovnik tour. Each port we stopped at represented a lesson in history. Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour in Split and Dubrovnik with the local guides as well as the fabulous dinner with wine in Stari Grad at a local farm restaurant. Our morning swimming stops were a pleasure and the food served on the boat was divine. But there were negatives: 1. Our lower level cabins were adjacent to the engine room therefore when the boat left port early in the morning, no further sleep or talking could be had. These cabins were priced the same as the forward lower level cabins which seems unfair. 2. No itemised bar bills were provided so you had to assume that what you were billed for, you actually drank. 3. The boats internet was rubbish. 4. When rafted up at port with other boats, crossing over was difficult at times due to the height of each boat I.e. need individual ramps and not step up or down.

Dear Rosalie, Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing both the highlights and suggestions on both of your tours. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the historical walking tours, the fabulous dinner in Stari Grad, and the divine food onboard, as well as the beautiful morning swim stops in lovely secluded bays. We regret to hear that there were some aspects that had an impact on your overall cruise experience. Regarding the noise from the engines, as our ships are small motor cruisers, the engines do make some unavoidable noise when in operation, similar to a running car. We understand this may affect travelers differently, but it is part of the small ship experience. We are pleased to advise that we received a total customer score rating of 4.4/5 for your week onboard. Regarding the bar bill, guests are welcome to request an itemised bill each day to track their consumption. The Wi-Fi can be temperamental as it is subject to download limits and can experience reduced coverage while out at sea. The ramps between boats are designed for ease of movement, but due to the unique designs of each vessel, some variations in height are expected - we appreciate your suggestion of individual ramps. We thank you again for all your feedback and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip.
Excellent pre and post sales service, with regular follow-up from Sail Croatia with lots of useful information and a very good customer portal. Our boat Morpheus was amazing and was beautifully presented and clean. When we arrived in Dubrovnik, the Sail Croatia pre-departure service was very good. At our destination in Split, the team led by Tsvetan were very friendly and helpful….eg: in helping us to store luggage. Airport transfers were very well organised and the drivers very personable. Our skipper, Marko, was awesome……friendly, professional, safe and very knowledgable, which meant he was able to tailor our 7 days from Dubrovnik to Split perfectly to our likes and needs. A big thanks to Marko and the Sail Croatia Team for a perfect week.

I think the best thing about our week was the kindest, hospitality and liveliness of our crew particular Mario. It was clear that these people went above and beyond their duties and expectations to allow us to all have an enjoyable week. Mario was a fantastic tour guide he was knowledgeable in all aspects, was very able to manage the 36 people crew and an absolute genuine mate. It was the efforts of Mario that made my experience with sail Croatia as good as it was. Highlights of the trip was definitely being able to swim off the boat in the middle of the bays or oceans that we anchored up at and just float around. All the people enjoyed this experience which allowed all of us to be on the same paper to swim, enjoy the sun and party at night. I have made lifelong friends on this trip and for this I am grateful that we chose to do sail week to see Croatia. Thank you again to Mario, Isabel, Big Daddy, George and the other crew for their hospitality over the week.

We had an unforgettable week on the Blackbird catamaran with Sail Croatia. The whole team was fantastic, and the boat was in great condition—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group. The highlight of our trip, though, was our incredible skipper, Nikola. His knowledge of the area, from recommending beautiful destinations to great restaurants, made the experience truly special. He was professional, thoughtful, and knew when to give us space, especially at swim spots, while always being there when needed. Nikola’s kindness, expertise, and genuine care made the week amazing. Big thanks to Nikola and the entire Sail Croatia team for an outstanding experience!

Our captain, Marko, was brilliant. He quickly understood where we have been on previous trips and our priorities for this trip. All the stops planned were fantastic whether beautiful tranquil fishing ports or “wild” moorings in turquoise bays. The snorkling was some of the best I have experienced in the Mediterranean and Marko even managed to include an intro scuba dive for my son which he loved. Marko booked all the restaurants and they were all first class. We sampled an amazing array of fish and seafood. Now we are contemplating the next time we can return to this beautiful country and will try to get the same captain if we do as he was integral to our wonderful experience.

Our passionate Sail Croatia guide Ivan was always there for us with recommendations for activities and food and local history at our Port stops . Our ship Salve Di Mare and crew were also amazing with at least one swim stop per day. Each swim stop the crew moored us in amongst the most stunning scenery and pristine water.

Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best weeks I had traveling through Europe. Tour manager Dino was absolutely fantastic at his job, he was super informative and looked out for everyone on the boat no matter what. The crew were very attentive and always made sure we were well fed and looked after. I couldn't recommend this type of holiday travel more!

The itinerary, staff, accommodation and food were all great. The staff were very helpful and accommodating my gluten free diet. Visiting 4 islands was great. The option to have ebikes was good - especially in the heat. The organising of the sailing, where we stopped and the routes we covered on the bikes - were all very well planned out and explained to us every day in detail. The staff were very friendly. Had a fab holiday. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia

From a click on google to a fabulous experience. Combining cycling with a cruise gives you the best of both. Explore the islands on bicycles allows you to see so much more of what a Croatia has to offer. The vessel, guides, crew and food were all excellent

Our EOS boat was so great because of the crew we had! They were all so super friendly and helped us with anything we needed! Sasa was our main best friend who we got along with so well, he helped us out when needed, toured us through the towns and recommended good places to eat/ party. Lucy made the best drinks ever and was great to have a conversation with. We always felt safe with the crew and were very well looked after. By far one of the best times I’ve had on my trip! You’re the best Sasa and crew and we will miss you all 😭

Sasa, Lucy and all the cooks and captain deserve to be paid 10x more after looking after the 42 of us for the week, honestly the best week of my life but might need to wait at least a week or 2 before going again. Sasa is a god ❤️

This was our first time on a sailing holiday and it certainly won't be our last. Everything was perfect including the comfort and cleanliness of the boat, the organisation from Sail Croatia but most importantly our most amazing skipper whose knowledge meant that we always felt safe and looked after.. We moored in beautiful bays and swam in the turquoise sea, we visited various islands and fell completely in love with Croatia. A perfect holiday for a family of 5 with 3 grown up children aged 21, 19 and 15. Just amazing!!

The Olimp and its crew were amazing, friendly and attentive . The yacht is gorgeous and the whole experience exceeded my expectation.

Thanks again to a wonderful captain George, his crew and Mia!! Looking forward to another trip in the future.

We had a nice trip on kingfisher. Our captain and hostess were nice and helpful on making our trip enjoyable. Thank you for a fun trip. A few recommendations yo improve the experience: 1. Please tell the guests to bring more cash for mooring fees and dinners. 2. It would be nice to spend the last night on an island vs split. You can just move check out to 10 am and that would really be a nice way to end the trip. 3. The 42 Lagoon catamaran only has 3 cabins if you use a skipper so that is an important description item as the skipper takes one of the cabins. When they sold us the catamaran they sold it to us as if it could sleep 8 people which is incorrect. It can only sleep 6 guests with a skipper.

Dear Jean, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience on Kingfisher. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip and found the skipper and hostess helpful. We appreciate your recommendations and we agree that bringing extra cash is a good idea for mooring fees and dining, so that guests can prepare accordingly - we also outline this in our Pre-departure information provided. While we understand the desire to spend the last night on an island, late check-out is not possible due to the extensive safety checks and cleaning required before the next departure. Our website correctly states that this vessel has 4 cabins that can accommodate 8 guests. It's common in the sailing industry, particularly in Croatia, for the crew to use the salon area as a double bed if all cabins are occupied by guests. Thank you again for your valuable input, and we hope to welcome you on board again in the future.
We are usually very independent travelers. It was wonderful to have someone else do all the planning! It was a perfect way to vacation, meet other travelers, and enjoy everyday. Karolina & Ilona are the dynamic duo! A+ and a gold star!

I would have given this experience a 5* as almost everything was perfect with the exception of a few things. Beach towel for one person for the entire week is not acceptable. Changing of the bath towels every few days is also not acceptable. Breakfast time should be longer. Everything else was great !

Beyond the beautiful islands, coves, marinas around Split, Sail Croatia (broker, not owner of the boat) has always given me complete, fast and effective preparatory information. And I assure you that I am really picky.
