Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.

Beautiful sea, great weather, kind and simpatico crew and staff. Kind and professional captain who took on board the requests of his guests and supported them when he could. Cleaver and knowledgable tour guide Anita always helpful, kind and fun. So, thank you it was a wonderful holiday.

We were a group of friends (8) who joined Sail Croatia for the Dubrovnik to Split 7 day cruise. The cabins were comfortable, the bathroom more spacious than the normal cruise ship. With only 40 people onboard I was concerned that we would be in each others pockets. There is more than enough space onboard to ensure you can read a book quietly if you want. The staff on our cruise (Salve de Mere) were supurb, from the maid throufg to the Captain, we were all in excellent hands. I loved the fact that we docked in small ports each night so we could enjoy local restaurants and bars. Each morning we stopped for a swim...as it was late season a few of us decamped to the jaquizzi where we had pre lunch cocktails...great fun! Each afternoon we were given options of excursions we could take, from walking and exploring, to bike rides and wine tasting. I would probably give the Buggies a miss as you travel in convoy at about 20kms per hour...very boring and a waste of money..

Everything just came together beautifully. Fantastic weather, a diverse interesting group of friendly really nice passengers, a warm friendly crew and fantastic host Anita. On board food was great. The timing of events, swim stops and activities each day was well, thought out and just worked. Anita did a really good job of keeping everyone updated throughout the day both personally and via a group chat including extra things to do, places to eat etc. To top it off, the boat, Salve de Mare, was fantastic, with lots of space, very clean and comfortable with everything operating as it should. Would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again!

The trip was great for my restricted mobility. The railings on all walkways and stairwells made walking around the ship possible. The crew were always available to offer a helping hand or arm. One of the sailors - Mario - was exceptionally thoughtful. He carried my mobility scooter on and off the boat, storing and charging it overnight. He was sensitive to my fears, crossing from boat to boat, offering encouragement and praise, as well as physical help. Wonderful intuitive personal skills!

We researched well and glad we did - it was well worth it. We selected the Katarina with Sail Croatia. The booking process was simple and efficient. We had the assurance the vessel we selected would be the one we sailed on. To our pleasant surprise, the vessel and crew exceeded our high expectations. Overall, between bareboat charter and cruise ships, this is the right size boat, right size crew and right size of guests. That we could tie up every night and free to come and go without water ferry made it extra special - like yachting. Very pleased and we highly recommend Katarina and her crew with Sail Croatia.

Super cruise up the beautiful Dalmatian coast. Smaller boat with great attention to detail by the crew and representative who was sooo knowledgeable and helpful. The off board trips were varied so we all had something to do, be-it the fit ones or the indolents ! Enjoyed the breakfast spread and having local courses at lunch time. Ports and local taverns for evening entertainment were spot on, with our host suggesting best local venues. On the rainy day he helped us to order in pizza for the party that erupted :) We are looking at 2025 now !

- Jane, 14/10/2024 10:54, Travelled with Friend/s

We travelled on the Katarina from Split return. It was so much fun and the scenery spectacular. If I had to suggest one thing that is a must I would say you need to book on the Katarina. It is a family run yacht and they honestly treat you like family. It was 5 star from start to finish.

- Sandy, 14/10/2024 09:36, Travelled with Family

The staff, the food, the itineraries, the tours and the beautiful and spacious rooms made this cruise a number 10 in our book. We needed for nothing. It was very organized, clean and the food and service was excellent. Would highly recommend it as a must do. Thanks to the staff members. We appreciate all your hard work. Paul and Lorraine

- Paul, 14/10/2024 06:23, Travelled with Friend/s

The Katarina and her crew were highly professional and attended to our every need throughout the week. What a fantastic way to see the Dalmatian islands! Cabins were amply sized and comfortable, ship was sparkling clean. The Explorer cruise offered multiple ways to enjoy each stop and every day began with a leisurely swim in a beautiful place. Highly recommend this trip.

- Laura, 14/10/2024 04:32, Travelled with Friend/s

The boat and staff were top notch. I would definitely recommend this trip for those who want to experience the coastal small towns and cities of Croatia. The cruise director Dino was helpful and full of wonderful suggestions for activities and dinners. The food on the boat was excellent as well as the coffee. I had a wonderful week. Thank you Sail Croatia!!!

- Catherine, 14/10/2024 01:02, Travelled with Friend/s

The smaller cruise, 36 people was a great number. The food was amazing, got to try so many local dishes. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The format for each day worked really well. Loved the combination of swimming, relaxing, eating on board and the in the afternoon exploring and being able to eat dinner on land.

- Sally, 12/10/2024 07:53, Travelled with Friend/s

The "Tempera" cruise was interesting bc it stopped every day at a different island unlike other large cruise ships. The boat was small which allowed both the crew and the 36 passengers aboard to get to know each other. The food + its preparation were excellent. Above all, our guide, Ioana was so pleasant and knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. She got to know each one of her guests and always made sure we were happy with her options for us at each stop. Her briefings were engaging. Secondly, our meal server - M_____, was extremely kind and hard-working. Constructive criticism: In order to allow more sightseeing time, serve breakfast and DINNER instead of lunch. We felt a bit shortchanged by the current dining schedule. Overall, it was a lovely way to spend a vacation! Thank you to all for making us feel comfortable and safe!!

- Liz, 09/10/2024 21:13, Travelled with Friend/s

This vacation was our second with Sail Croatia. Our group consisted of 12 ladies, aged between 40 - 63 years old. We had a fabulous week on board. The crew were friendly and hard-working. The chefs magically made delicious food for us all, particularly amazing when you consider the limited space available in the kitchen. The guide, Dino was very knowledgable and enthusiastic to share the joys of his country with us. Our fellow shipmates were wonderful, especially five ladies from Australia celebrating a 50th birthday. Croatia is a wonderful country in so many ways. If you’ve not been before, BOOK NOW!

- Fiona, 08/10/2024 08:30, Travelled with Friend/s

My sister and I had a great trip on the Tempera ship. What more can I say about the amazing crew, the 5 star meals, the swim stops and the experiences that were set up by our hard-working, devoted ship activity director, Ioana. The small ship atmosphere is the way to go. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

- Carolyn , 07/10/2024 19:23, Travelled with Family

Really enjoyed the crew! Ioana was absolutely amazing and always replied so quickly. Food was excellent but you need good hot coffee. (This seemed to be the consensus) Room was perfect. Really enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

- Mary-Ellen, 07/10/2024 19:22, Travelled with Family

The staff were great on this trip, especially Ioana our guide! Food. On the ship was very good and plentiful. The captain adjusted our itinerary for the weather. We had options to join group activities and dinners. Only wish we had more time off the boat. This cruise would be difficult for someone with mobility issues-especially in lower cabins and needing to cross between boats at ports. We had daily swim stops in am.

- Lynne, 07/10/2024 14:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Dino and the crew when above and beyond. Had the best experience sailing around Croatia. Only negative thing I would say is the cabins need a mirror in them besides the bathroom. ( Suggest maybe a long length mirror inside cupboard door and a small hairdryer and Iron on deck)

- Karen, 07/10/2024 08:55, Travelled with Friend/s

Small boat, great staff

- Helen , 07/10/2024 07:01, Travelled with Friend/s

Swim stops were cancelled due to weather without consulting passengers. Some activities were cancelled either because of equipment malfunction. A better hostess would be good.

- Malcolm , 07/10/2024 06:54, Travelled with Family

The crew on The Almissa was amazing and professional! We were kept up to date on any changes to the itinerary and given great recommendations when in port. I loved being able to see Croatia this way!! It’s such a beautiful country with an extensive history. Being able to port in smaller cities was my dream and able to keep us out of huge crowds and overly touristy areas. I would sail with them again!!

- Jody, 06/10/2024 13:25, Travelled with Friend/s

Sailed from Split to Dubrovnik in August and the boat was great. Spacious rooms, great common areas and food was excellent. Lots of fun, great swim spots daily and lovely towns to visit in the afternoon. Also all staff were friendly and helpful. It was a fun week.

- Kristy, 04/10/2024 12:54, Travelled with Friend/s

We sailed on Almissa six years ago and came back to do it again as a group of 8 people in 2024 going in the reverse direction. It is honestly the best time and both times was a highlight of our trip to Europe. The sailing both times was smooth, weather was perfect and we loved exploring more at each of the stops. We enjoyed getting to know with the other guests with a mix of ages and nationalities. The food is a stand out and was exceptional. The airconditioned rooms are great (we went below deck both times as we felt quieter than on top). The crew were so friendly and a lot of fun and it was like leaving old friends by the time we left. The cruise from Dubrovnik to Split is very relaxing and is a great addition to your Euro Vacay. Highly recommend and you will not regret it.

- Vanessa, 03/10/2024 03:18, Travelled with Friend/s

Swim stops! I just loved swimming off the boat! Being with friends, exploring new places, feeling safe with a captain and crew who knew their stuff. Good food.

- Sara, 02/10/2024 17:42, Travelled with Friend/s

The ship was wonderful. It felt safe and solid and when we had some rough seas I was fine even though I’m prone to motion sickness. The crew were fabulous and I felt safe and looked after. All we had to do was ask. It was a very memorable trip. Met some lovely people on board who were of similar demographic and personalities. Thank you Sail Croatia!

- Liz, 01/10/2024 16:38, Travelled with Friend/s

Everything was excellent. Our cruise director Dino was top notch and went above and beyond. The crew were also very customer oriented and!very pleasant. The accommodation was very comfortable. The food was very good except we found the meats offered at lunch were always over cooked. Otherwise excellent breakfast with a good variety and and delicious desserts. We would definitely recommend this cruise to friends.

- Karen, 01/10/2024 09:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Lots of fun and good times Dino was an excellent director and took care of all our needs . The only improvement would be for the cooks as meat was overdone and dry on several occasions for lunches only, The breakfasts and the Captions Dinner were excellent though..

- Anonymous, 01/10/2024 08:46, Travelled with Friend/s

The Captain n crew. The fun and very informative and lovely hostess Klara. The Ship ( Salve de Mare) the itinerary and all the nice fellow passengers.

- Rossco, 30/09/2024 19:14, Travelled with Friend/s

What a wonderful week on Tempra Explorer Cruise this week. The crew were extremely helpful and attentive. The chef was masterful in his approach to Croatian cuisine. Lovely presentations and always supremely delicious. Our Sail Croatia host Victor was such a positive influence. He is funny and very knowledgeable. Our cabin was easily large enough for 2 adults and good size bathroom and shower. Loved this cruise!

- Diane, 30/09/2024 16:02, Travelled with Family

This was an amazing. Trip. The boat is absolutely beautiful and stunning. Beyond what I expected. I was nervous about the cabins as I don’t do any type of cruises and they are fabulous. Didn’t feel crammed at all! Always clean. Freshly turned down mid day. Buffet breakfast was always awesome. Lunches were hit or miss. But I’m a picky eater. The captain and his crew were great! Love that the boat has family history. Makes being on this boat even more special. And KLara!!! OMG. She made it so much fun. Our Coordinator. Team leader. She is a hoot!! And very very good at her job. Her communication skills at lunchtime to know what to expect for the day. And the skills via What’s app are impeccable. She gets back to you asap. I even got sick and she was right there trying to find Drs and pharmacy’s for me. We and especially me. Just love her!’10 stars for her ⭐️

- Ana , 30/09/2024 15:45, Travelled with Friend/s

Our who Sail Croatia team - and especially Vicko - made the trip fun, safe, organized, and an all-around EXCELLENT experience. Vicko's knowledge about activities, history, geography, etc. kept us well-informed, and his willingness to assist in planning our days was extremely helpful.

- Cindy, 30/09/2024 14:32, Travelled with Friend/s

Klara’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious. Every morning she had a spring in her step which set the tone for the entire cruise. She was very approachable and answered all questions and queries with a happy smile. The boat was clean and in good condition. Would have liked a little more time in port and less ‘swim’ time as the towns had a lot to experience. Would recommend Sail Croatia to my friends.

- Amanda, 30/09/2024 08:37, Travelled with Friend/s

Dino was amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable, provided wonderful recommendations and was always available. The staff was awesome, couldn’t have asked for nicer people. The boat was nice and spotless. Would and will highly recommend to others

I traveled across the world with my 7 best friends and can honestly say this was the best vacation we've ever taken. Our Salve de Mare ship was beautiful, clean, comfortable and the perfect size allowing a great mix of hanging with ourselves and getting to know wonderful people from all over the world. Food on board was top notch, the crew was warm, kind and fun-loving. Our guide Vicko went above & beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. Every destination on our Dubrovnik-Split itinerary was a place I would gladly revisit if given the chance. The combination of structure and flexibility built into the itinerary gave us the ability to go along for the ride some days, and create our own excursions other days, so it was a great balance. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia enough, our experience from start to finish was smooth and absolutely exceeded our expectations. I'm ready to sign up for another go!

- Lisa, 28/09/2024 23:45, Travelled with Friend/s

We booked on the Salve Di Mare from Split to Dubrovnik in Mid-Sept. The trip exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 10 from the US. From the first time we explored the ship to the hugs goodbye, we enjoyed every minute in between. The weather was in the mid 70s, so it wasn't the HOT week (which i'm thankful for) that we were expecting. We had a few swim stops, and with the cooler weather were able to explore the towns a bit more. The service was outstanding. Really top notch. Vicko our Rep was really great-attentive, funny, helpful and really made our cruise fun w/ tons of options. Marko & Nenanja were great waiters & bartenders - fun to chat with! Ana kept our rooms clean. Ivan, Mario and Nikola and of course, Cpt. Frane powered that beautiful ship like a small car! A couple things we wished we knew, there are hair dryers in every room. Bring a clothes line to hang your wet clothes, if the weather looks cool, bring a jacket and pants. GREAT TRIP! Salve di Mare was the best one!

- Laurie, 26/09/2024 23:16, Travelled with Friend/s

The Katrina, Sail-Croatia boat was absolutely beautiful from the inside out. This boat is family designed, built and owned operated. The family made us feel so welcomed, like we were part of their family, but always providing excellent & professional service. The food was amazing and so were the drinks. This boat was so clean, they were always cleaning something and one day I even saw the Captain washing down the decks. While on our tour a large storm disrupted our schedule and they rerouted to make our trip as perfect as it could be, making the best of mother nature inconvenience. Nicos, was our guide and even though he was new to this boat, you would never know it, as they were a perfect team. This was my maiden trip to Europe from the US and it was a dream come true.

- Kathy , 25/09/2024 19:00, Travelled with Friend/s

The cruise was a great way to see the islands, travel with our group of 10 friends & meet new friends. Our boat was very friendly and our group always sat with others and we felt like we got to know everyone on the boat. Swim stops were fun, even though weather was an issue a few days. Food was great, and Vicko did an amazing job with helping us plan activities, dinners, island information and just was just overall fun. Rest of staff & captain were friendly and worked hard the whole week. Comfortable cabins, beautiful boat, Salve di Mare

- Maree, 24/09/2024 09:35, Travelled with Friend/s

The staff were excellent, with special mention of Klara and Branco who made the cruise extra special. Klara's knowledge of the islands and history were shared to us with passion and humor and was received extremely well by the guests. The arranging of excursions was flawless and we always knew the times and booking details well in advance. Branco made sure that we were served plenty of food on board and his bar manner was second to none. The islands themselves shared their different characters, all of which were enjoyed by all. We would definitely do this again as we thoroughly enjoyed our first ever cruise provided by Sail Croatia.

- Daryl, 24/09/2024 07:24, Travelled with Family

The ship (Salve di Mare) was so comfortable and very well maintained. The crew were professional, friendly and fun. The meals were exceptionally well prepared and presented. Our Sail Croatia tour representative, Vicko, was so knowledgeable and helpful. This cruise was absolutely the right choice for seeing the Dalmation coast and I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

- Kevin, 23/09/2024 21:41, Travelled with Family

Loved my 7 day cruise on Almissa! Every day waking up to stunning Croatian islands, towns and cities was such a fantastic experience with options to do as much or little as you want. Almissa the boat was clean and well equipped to cater for all passengers. The cabin was spacious and comfortable and the crew including Dino the Cruise Director were fantastic! I would 100% recommend and if I'm ever over this side of the globe again, wouldn't hesitate to join another Sail Croatia cruise.

My partner and I and a friend sailed the 7 day cruise with Deano and crew. The complete trip was great and Deano helped with advice, guidance and recommendations for the trip. Everything this he advised was spot on and we could not ask for any more. Deano even assisted to locate and track our lost luggage and have it delivered to the boat. Could not recommend more and would like to sail again in future, Eoin Australia

We travelled on Salve Di Mare. The boat was awesome. The people we met along the way were also fantastic. We had the best week. Nothing was an issue for the crew and our guide, Vitcho, made sure all was in hand and was able to cater for many different guest preferences for on-board and off-board activities. Highly 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!

- Geoff, 18/09/2024 14:27, Travelled with Family

What an amazing trip. Our group of four couples chose Sail Croatia due to its unique vessel size (16-20 cabins) and itinerary. Our expectations were exceeded by Vicko, the Sail Croatia representative on the trip, as he made sure all of our problems were solved, and we had an amazing trip - he is one of a kind and absolutely the Croation fixer! The crew of the Salve di Mare was fantastic. The boat was clean, the room sizes were surprisingly large, and they all worked to make sure we had everything we needed - plus great food and drink. Make sure to take opportunities to go off the beaten path - find unique experiences and take advantage of the ones the Sail Croatia team provides where it suits your interests. We were able to discover so much - we ate a fish the owner of a restaurant speared that morning and cleaned on the dock. We took a rowboat to a monastery on an island. We climbed a mountain (ok hill) overlooking a beautiful town on the Adriatic. Take this trip!

We recently sailed for a group 40th birthday celebration and had the trip of a life time! Can not say enough good things about our experience. This was an excellent way to explore many different places in Croatia. Our group stayed very active, but there were also opportunities to relax on board or at a beach nearby. Our Sail Croatia representative, Vicko, was key to a smooth trip. He met with us daily to go over our itinerary for that day and the next, give us a historical overview of the village/city we were about to explore, and was always there to answer questions or solve any unexpected problems that came our way. We also loved that we had the opportunity to make new friends with our fellow guests. Met people from all corners of the world! The boat never felt crowded, the rooms were comfortable, and food delicious. It will be hard to top this trip!
