Dora was great, however, the recommended dinner - the one not included- was just *fair* and they over charged us and we were left to deal with paying. I feel like payment is something the cruise director should handle. It was chaotic and a bad way to end our evening. Also, I would have done more yoga, but it was usually just a little bit too early- I was on holiday, so I didn’t want to set an alarm. The only other suggestion: have more drinks for non-drinkers. Don’t run out of Coke Zero. I’m sure non-drinkers are not your normal clientele, but it would have been nice to be offered something else to drink when wine tastings were offered. The last dinner (the one that was included did a fantastic job of that. We felt seen, rather than ignored. Thanks so much. Overall I would recommend this yoga cruise.

This is a well organised & experienced company who deliver what they claim. We visited scenic port villages, ate well, did some cycling (not as much as we wanted due to inclement weather) and made new friends from around the world. The crew & guides worked really hard to meet the varied needs of the guests.

The experience of being on the boat, swim spots, and visiting the different islands was great. For those looking for a more adventurous trip might want something different as this has a lot of downtime. Great intro to life on a boat!

We loved the bicycle part of the trip and the beautiful stops at night. Some of our itinerary changed due to bad weather and port issues, but the crew and guides worked to make it a good experience, and it was.. However guests got seasick. My only problem was caused by jumping into the water from the top of the boat, and that was due to my poor judgment. Swimming in the sea was fun!

We really enjoyed our trip on Almissa. Our cruise director did a good job informing us of the daily schedule and working with excursion providers to give us the best experience. We enjoyed the yoga sessions. There was a good variety of excursions for all activity levels. We enjoyed exploring the towns. A lot of history, shopping, food options and gelato! The ship was the perfect size. We had a fun group of passengers. The crew did a great job of keeping things clean and organized and the food was good too. We don’t have any complaints!

More info ahead of time about boarding place and process. Better communication about the agenda, activities etc. Maybe a "white board" with cycling distances, times, degree of difficulty, planned stops etc. Also, more info ahead for non cyclists and which stops we were having dinner on our own. Announcements were not made ahead of time and were difficult to hear with engines running. More time to explore port towns. Especially Brac....no time after the ride to see the port. Food and crew were fantastic. Trip was fantastic and the rides were great

Sail Croatia needs a boat dedicated to solo only travellers. My experience was fun and thoroughly enjoyed it although it was somewhat difficult to socialize with others as they were glued to their friend until roughly day 5 where everyone started to branch out and really connect as a group.

Landscape and surroundings were wonderful. Bicycle trips were very nice - I only regret having more time to take photos on the way. Staff on board were helpful and charming. And the best part:: getting to know and make friends with other international guests were fantastic!

Friendly crew and clean boat. Itinerary had more swim stops than expected which was frustrating at 2 places. We should have asked and paid for tender rides to explore the towns longer. Felt like a waste of time. Not enough time in Hvar or Kumiža - definitely could have spent a full day exploring those towns. Bath towels are very thin and there is NO space in your cabin for large suitcases. Our carry-ons just fit under the bed - no idea where larger bags would go. Plenty of fresh water for showers but you need bottled water for cleaning your teeth. No frills but great way to see the Dalmatian Coast and explore the islands.

Our crew was fantastic and the places we stopped were stunning! We started in Split and the boat captain "Mickey" rolled out the map so we could weigh in on what stops we wanted to make/important things on our list (Blue Cave, Mljet National Park, etc.) and made some great recommendations as well. Each place we visited offered a new experience, great food, beautiful scenery, architecture, people and on and on! What's preventing a 5 star review management could easily fix! FIRST and foremost: towels and sheets. When one is experiencing a luxury yacht adventure, don't expect them to use the SAME towels and sheets for 7 days in a row without replenishing them! Gross! We don't need fresh sheets and towels daily but please turn them over mid way through the trip. When we had a cut (blood) and our towels become soiled, the crew said there were no spare towels and sheets on board. Small thing that would make a big difference! Otherwise it was a lovely experience! I'd go back!

Loved the islands and the sea was amazing. Our trip, in August, made for really hot biking but great swimming. The tour ran like a clockwork schedule. The right mix of hard work and down time. Our bike guide could have been a bit more personable. Food was great bur so much was a bit overwhelming. Because boats were anchored together with other boats overnight loud passengers crossing in and out often disturbed our sleep late into the night. A sign for "Quiet hours after 10pm" would have been great. Our room was very comfortable but more hooks on the walls are needed. Our stewardesses, Paula and Olga and our tour coordinator Mila were great as were the whole crew.

The combination of riding to touring was great. Last couple of days would have been nice to have some more cycling but I recognize this is dictated by the size of the island.

It was a lovely trip through the Dalmatian Islands, the cycling was challenging yet worthy, but I do think the bar prices on the boat could have been more competitive. We found ourselves preferring to be gathered in a bar or restaurant when we’d have rathered stay on board and have a drink on the top deck, etc. the dining room was often stiflingly hot, the AC may have been a good idea on some of the particularly hot days. The crew and staff were great, very efficient, and overall this was the best way to see this gorgeous country. Thank you!!

Tonka and Loana were great cruise leaders . They and the rest of the crew were very friendly and always available to answer questions and /or help in any way. They were also very flexible with regard to on-boat activities . The swim stops were beautiful and safe. The boat was steady .It was a wonderful way to explore the small islands along the Croatian coast. It was great that the bar was open to the wee hours. However, a more diverse cocktail menu is suggested.The wines were great. There were a few snags on the boat. E.g. intermittent unpleasant sulphur-like oder in the cabin. The cabin could use brighter lighting , especially in the bathroom. Also, I would suggest washable flooring in the cabins to make them less prone to mildew. The Sail Croatia experience was spectacular! I would do it again.

I’m so grateful for our trip leader Ceili was an absolute legend I felt like she was one of us, she was so helpful, took the time to get to know us all and spent most of her time with us! The crew on the boat were incredible, so friendly, helpful, made sure everyone was happy and also joined us for a good time! So grateful and I couldn’t recommend this enough and I’ll be talking about it for years to come!!

The crew was amazing. From Andre our server to Matek and Christiana the sailors, everyone was friendly, helpful and competent. The cabins were small and cramped. Not much storage space. But we were only in our cabins to sleep or shower. Katarina and Mila were excellent cycling guides. Meals were substantial- no need to ever go hungry! It would be great if there was some decent coffee at breakfast. The coffee was terrible! The cycling was made easier with the e-assist bikes. One suggestions is to divide the cycling groups. Those on e bikes and those on standard bikes. Those on e bikes were always waiting for the standard cyclists to catch up. It felt like we were constantly interrupting our ride.

At the end of our trip we were told that they had to hire two extra boats as they had over booked on yacht’s. The boat we were provided with did not have glass doors at the entrance which meant that the aircon did not stay indoors where as in the other non hired boats the air would be trapped in. This meant that it was very hot at night which was very annoying as we had paid extra for the aircon. It was also tricky having the skipper sleep in the lounge room as we couldn’t use that space later for group activities where light was required. Upstairs, there was no light on the deck table on our boat unlike the other boats, so it made playing card games with the group tricky and harder to bond with the others in the group. As soon as we entered the boat there was this smell of sewerage that did not leave the boat the entire trip to the point that the skipper had to buy spray to cover the smell.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent Flotilla Tour with us. We’d like to confirm that the yachts used during your tour had been in operation throughout the season and were not added at the last minute. It is quite common in Croatia and across the sailing industry for skippers to sleep in the salon area on these types of yacht tours. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the air conditioning and the need for additional lighting in the cockpit area. Your feedback is invaluable as we continually seek to improve our guests' experience. Thank you once again, and we hope to welcome you aboard for another memorable trip in the future. Kind regards,
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with sail Croatia. I enjoyed being on the boat and exploring all the amazing destinations. The swim stops each day were a massive highlight being able to jump straight in to the beautiful ocean waters. The team were very welcoming and accommodating, especially Branko! If we needed something he was on top of helping out in whatever way he could. I feel that the sheets should be changed half way through the trip and that the bathrooms need more of a deeper clean. The breakfast buffet was great and the food served each day for lunch included a variety of cultural dishes and more and although I don’t eat sea food, there were many that I enjoyed thoroughly. There were many excursions offered which I did, however for the price some were average. Overall I enjoyed myself and the trip was a trip of a lifetime meeting so many amazing people!

Dear Nathan, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review and feedback regarding your recent Sail Croatia Navigator cruise. It is wonderful to hear that your bartender was amazing and he was the highlight of the trip for you! We will be sure to let him know. We clearly advise our travellers when booking a Triple bed cabin that these are the same size as twin share hence why we offer 10% discount when a Triple bed cabin is booked. Thank you again for your feedback.
For the price that you pay which is quite exorbitant I don’t think this experience lives up to the cost or the hype. While the crew and the staff on board as well as the guide are absolutely lovely and the service was great the boat is old, creaky and smelly.. The air-conditioning barely worked and people complained non-stop about the Aircon not working. There were no fans even on deck which are desperately needed to combat the unbearable European summer heat. Unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations and certainly not to the reviews I’ve seen on site. The boats need full renovations and need to be fully updated in order for them to be able to get a higher rating.

We appreciate your input and comments as we continue to enhance our services.
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 tour guide needs to be more involved with the people on the boat. I understand that they might have been doing this for weeks already but the guide is the person who drives the moral on the ship, if they don’t want to get involved and leave it up to the group to make our own experience that is poor. Lucky the group of people I went on with was amazing and that alone is what made my trip. Certain experiences were cancelled months before we went on the boat and had no prior warning to these cancelations which for me were the only reasons why I signed up for sail Croatia. If Sail Croatia had known about the issues on Hvaar and Markaska then months before the boat had set sail an email should have been sent out to people and offered refunds for trips. It borderlines on a scam that people were sold an idea that was never going to be delivered.

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.

Our boat was a huge let down, we were told when we booked that we would be on a boat with more people than we actually had, we were also shown photos of a boat that was MUCH nicer than the one we were put on. We had no deck chairs/loungers on the top of ours so there wasn’t a space to fully relax an unwind. Almost zero shade on top as well so the only place to lay and relax was in bed which was uncomfortable as well. One shower for 24 people (plus crew), and you had to hold the shower head as it had nothing to mount to. The bed wasn’t big enough for me to lay in so every night while sleeping I had to scrunch my body up, it was also extremely hot below deck while trying to sleep this made it more difficult to get a good nights sleep. Overall it was a let down, if I were to do it again I would want to go on a boat that should actually be in operation, unlike the mala Kate which is what we were on. If it weren’t for the great people I was with then it wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

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!!

The advert just makes it look like we are having sea parties with the masses of boats with inflatables that didn’t happen. There was only one time the 5 sailing boats were merged together at sea and happened to be a day it was raining so wasn’t great timing unfortunately. It also takes a lot of timing and our boat was last to get linked but first to leave. The breakfast could be done better as sometimes didn’t know what in the fridge was for the breakfast, although could ask. It did vary but not to everyone’s likings etc. If there is a budget for breakfast then maybe at the start of the week suggest to write a list from everyone of what they would want and keep in a section of the fridge. I was disappointed not doing the zip line. Canyoning was offered as alternative as it wasn’t running but I heard other boats had done the zip line so just unlucky on that day. Although no fault of Sail Croatia, there was around 6-7 males and 33-34 females, so maybe ask before if prefer a mix.

It really depends on the group & crew that makes the trip. The bartender on the boat wasn't the most pleasant and the chef was horrible. I knew going on the boat that the food was not going to be the best but it was horrible. Also, I didn't like how we didn't have to much free time and the swim spots were okay, nothing great either. Overall, the trip was okay.

I was lucky enough to get the best group of people and best crew. But all I can say is that booking the ensuite boat for navigator is definitely all you’ll need for a week. You’ll have more fun on this boat if you’re solo or with one or two mates. If you’re travelling with a bigger group of friends you should think about selecting a nicer boat.

Was very happy with the room, both the bedroom and bathroom were decently sized and had good facilities. The food on the boat was really great, we were never hungry. The crew were kind and hardworking. I wish we could’ve been informed on our swim spots more. The boat would just depart from them without notice so you might miss out or jump in without realising we were about to leave. I think our tour manager could’ve gave us better suggestions on what to do in town. Sail is a great way to travel and I really enjoyed my week!

Sail Croatia really let me down with my experience by not mixing the people on our boat. Out of 30 people there were 29 women (13 of which were one big group that were not very interested in socialising outside of their group) the one male was a partner of the only couple on the boat. I believe variety in people would have most definitely improved everyone's experience. While our tour manager was absolutely lovely and kind I was disappointed with their lack of knowledge of Croatia in general. Unfortunately their inexperience showed when they struggled to comand respect and order when addressing the group. This showed when organising activities or even getting people excited meet up to learn about our beautiful scenic stops. The crew onboard were so lovely and accommodating. The food was great. After stopping at a few ports and seeing the variety in types of Sail Croatia Boats I was also disappointed that when booking I was not given options to upgrade to a boat with better facilities.

I had a great time aboard the Afrodita while being a solo traveler. I met tons of friends and shared great memories. The food and on board entertainment were great, but the bar prices were not competitive at all. Drinks were €10-12 and happy hour was only 10% off. Bell ring shots were also €120 at the start of the trip and usually mostly juice unless you were watching the bartender and telling him to pour more alcohol. When comparing with passengers in other boats, their drinks were only €4 (didn't have to pay for mixers) and bell rings on their boat were only €80. If our boat had cheaper drinks, more drinks would have been purchased on board, but our group was considered fairly tame because people didn't end up buying many drinks on board. More money could have been made by this boat on alcohol, but they were stingy with prices and portions and wondered why they didn't make much money. The trip overall was great, but the bar was their biggest downfall.

I was told a couple weeks before our sail that unfortunately I was being put in a double bed with another male. I sent several emails back and forth and their response was always “it’s in the FAQs” and they couldn’t help me so bad luck. When I arrived to the ship I found out there was serval couples staying in 2 x single beds so the issue could have been resolved if they actually wanted to. Also they allowed a group of 20 friends/couples to book the ship (40 on the ship) (also a group of 7 so 13 people were strangers) It ruined everyone’s trip because they weren’t there to make New friends they were there to party with old ones and they had the monopoly on every thing in terms of dinners and that. It really ruined the vibe because everyone felt on the outside because they would take over the ship and leave the rest out, we made our own fun but would be nice. Very disappointing overall, the crew and rep were 5 starts but management side before the ship has sailed in the downfall.

Thank you for your feedback, Daniel. We are pleased to hear the crew and rep were 5 stars however, we are are sorry to hear that your overall experience did not meet your expectations. As per our email correspondence, our FAQs and ship pages outline that bed configurations on our Navigator cruises can include double beds, and bedding configurations are not guaranteed at the time of booking. We understand how this situation might be disappointing, however, we aim to make this transparent via our website to avoid any disappointment and to set expectations. We also offered alternative cruise dates with waived cancellation fees to accommodate your preferences, but these options were not taken up. All the couples were in double bedded cabins. Regarding the group bookings, we strive to balance the needs of all guests, and we regret that this impacted your enjoyment. We are pleased that the overall customer feedback rating for your week onboard was 4.62/5 stars. Your feedback is important to us, and this is appreciated.

Have just returned from a week on the Almissa. The boat was lovely and our above deck cabin was perfect for a week, comfortable bed, enough storage for clothes and a lovely en suite.

Can highly recommend this way to holiday.

Overall, the trip was great. It's a wonderful way to see Croatia in short period of time. The staff is so fun and friendly. And to be able to relax and swim everyday really added to the experience. While the experiences included are fun, it does not feel authentic but more focused on those on the similar cruise itinerary. It was tough only having a late afternoons and evenings in ports, I would have loved a mixed of mornings/early afternoons at port, and then afternoon swims.

Great combination of bike time, boat time, and town time with friends old and new. Croatia is a beautiful country to visit. Guides and Crew were excellent.

Overall, I did enjoy my week with Sail Croatia! The cabins are tiny, but what I expected on a sailing boat. The boat was super clean when we boarded and linen/towels were provided. I loved the little swim stops between each island visit. Some things I didn't enjoy was the 'skipper' part of the boat. Maybe I read the trip wrong, but I was hoping the skipper would also be a bit of a guide on each of the islands. Our Skipper would just point out a few restaurants where we docked then we wouldn't see him again. He didn't mention any excursions we could do on the islands or even how to get around the island really. I would say he was more of a taxi driver. The schedule also changed and we were not told. We were never really told what was going on, which was very annoying. Anyways, I had a great time meeting others as a solo traveller and most of the others were super fun and nice. I wished we had more boats in our 'flotilla' (only ours and 1 other)

Went from Split to Dubrovnik on AlleyCat with my husband and 2 friends. We had the most amazing holiday, the location islands are spectacular, our skipper was brilliant at stopping at the best lunch coves as well. Our skipper and hostess (Mislav & Yellena) went above and beyond to make our holiday extra special and were an absolute pleasure to spend time with, they are a credit to Sail Croatia. AlleyCat is a great size boat, rooms and showers are all 10/10 and she was treated like a princess by our skipper (rightly so), The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was due to not receiving a preference sheet from the bookings team. We arrived to the boat after travelling to Croatia that day with no food or drinks on board, although I had emailed and asked about shopping befWe have since found out this should have been sent to us so the crew could have arranged on our behalf before boarding. Apart from that a perfect holiday, crew, boat and locations and would certainly use agIn.
