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 😌😌

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!

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!!

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
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.

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!

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!

Please rest assured your feedback has been passed on to our Operations Manager who will provide further training as applicable. We thank you again and hope to see you with us again sometime soon!
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 !
- Alex, 19/06/2023 10:46, Travelled with Friend/s
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

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!
- Tilly, 31/08/2022 12:30, Travelled with Friend/s
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
Was a good mix of people on our boat and had a great time. Food was good and plenty of it. The only downfall would be all the extra costs that I incurred. Was very expensive to eat and drink off board and the extra costs onboard you don’t hear about (unless your into reading the fine print). You have to pay for AC, port taxes, etc. would recommend to a friend but letting them know you will need to be prepared to spend.

Dino our sail leader and all the crew were incredible, Dino was full of great island recommendations for all excursions, swim spots, bars etc so knowledgeable and was apart of the family on our sail! Cared for everyone and ensured the entire fam on the boat was having the best experience ! The crew took care of everything the fam needed and even organised us a bbq meal which everyone craved! Great week and highly recommend!!

The best part of my sail was my trip manager Klara and the rest of the staff as they really went out of their way to ensure a great experience for all. I celebrate my birthday on the boat and they where kind enough to provide a cake and create a lovely atmosphere!

Mila was an amazing representative. She explained everything in thorough detail, from what the day would look like, up to all the history of each and every city. She is very well educated on these topics which I enjoyed immensely and made the trip so much better.

Klara was the absolute best guide, made awesome recommendations and arranged numerous bookings for dinners and outings. She also booked a doctor appointment for myself and another member of the cruise. Would 100% recommend her on any future sails.

Klara was such an incredible guide, always willing to help, show us the best places and always had a smile on her face. She was super welcoming and made the trip great. The crew were also awesome! I wish the boat had aircon in all rooms as my friends didn’t sleep in the heat, it would also be great to have access to water at all times (not lock to water tank away at night!) Over all, an awesome week!
- Tahlia, 04/07/2022 15:53, Travelled with Friend/s
Well organised. Happy with the price. Made seeing Croatia very easy. Tour guide Dino was great. He was friendly, engaging, helpful, shared his knowledge and would explain were to spend money or where you would be ripped off. The breakfast and lunch is a great thing to have on the boat, loved having this, however the food was average. Had risotto 1 day for lunch and it was inedible, the rice was not cooked it was crunchy. The soups on the boat were nice. Alcohol on the body is expensive, 40 Kuna for an apple cider when you can get the same thing at a convenience store for 12 Kuna.

My friend & I were on the Marija Magdalena boat Split rtn Splt tour The whole experience was great, the crew absolutely fantastic, so chill, easy going & fun. And the food was great. Destinations were absolutely stunning. It really is one of the most beautiful countries. Our tour guide was Ioana, genuinely such a lovely person & exceptional at her job. Gave us detailed activities every day via the WhatsApp group with all the info needed.. I was lucky enough to spend my Bday on the boat which all the crew made really special with cake, ballons, banners & drinks. The ship itself had great facilities such as lounge chairs, outdoor eating areas ect The only negative thing I have to say is- 2 of our friends canceled on the day of the tour, we asked if one of us could take the spare room. It came back from the office that this was not possible which was dissapointing. During a pandemic i don't see why this should have been an issue. Experience would've been 5* if they allowed this.
- Kelly , 28/09/2021 10:22, Travelled with Friend/s
The Sail Croatia was a great experience and a good way to travel around many of the Croatian islands and cities, however it was disappointing that given our tour commenced after Oct 1, many activities were closed. Some warning about this would be good to ensure expectations are met. Apart from this, the tour was fun, our leader did her best to give us brief historical overviews of Croatia as well as the various towns we visited and it was overall a positive experience.
- Sarah, 14/10/2019 02:34, Travelled with Friend/s
Hi Sarah, thanks for the review - we really appreciate it! We believe that the best way to truly enjoy the Dalmatian coast is by ship. In October the season is starting to wind down which means that not all bars and restaurants are open in each location, but October also brings some great benefits such as less crowds in tourist destinations and lower cruise prices! We would really love to have you on board again in the future. Thank you again Sarah for your review.
Mumma T was so nice, energetic and welcoming! She was very good as she knew a lot about Croatia and had great recommendations and also shared interesting facts and information of the history of places we visited. The rest of the crew was also very good and kind to us all. The food was great we were all well fed and it was super tasty. Most of all being able to have everything planned for each day and being able to relax on the boat was really nice.

Hi Analese, thank you for your 5 star review of your Navigator cruise with us this season on board Mala Kate, one of our Standard ships. It's awesome to read your comments on the team on board including Mama T! :) It is wonderful you all had such an amazing time and we do hope you will join us again soon. Thank you so much!
We got on the Big Blu for the 5 day Navigator cruise. It was a lot of fun with a nice balance of activities, partying and relaxing at the swim stops. The boat was kept tidy and clean every day thanks to the boat crew. The crew were very sociable and great fun to hang out with. Shout out to Marko, Hicela and Mateo. I can see a lot of work goes into the smooth running of the sailing week. Would definitley return to the Big Blu.
