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!

Great experience! Beautiful places and people! Unfortunately the weather wasnt the best during the week but our skipper Dino made sure we stay safe the entire time, and even with the changes in itinerary still made sure we get to see everything planned. He also showed us how to put the sails up which was very cool. Would definitely recommend!

What an amazing adventure we got to visit so many beautiful places and have some epic nights out plus our skipper mario was awesome would definitely recommend this trip to anyone thinking about it!!

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.

Ante our skipper- shout to him first and foremost. He was the kindest soul & made our week. He took care of us, far beyond his job. Thank you, Ante! The sailing experience, the swim stops, the islands, the meals, the skipper dinner & punch party- all of it- was amazing. I was the only Brit & one of two solo travellers amongst groups across the whole fleet but felt so welcomed and the whole week was so well organised I felt safe & relaxed. Best week of my life honestly! Life long friends & memories. Couldn’t recommend the experience more. Want to live on the ocean now- back to reality is not the same. SO MUCH FUN!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week aboard the night sky. Sailing is the way to experience this beautiful country. So many beautiful islands, beaches, coves, and bays. Bruno was an excellent skipper with awesome recommendations at every stop. We enjoyed wonderful company onboard and made great memories,
- Alex, 22/07/2024 05:05, Travelled in a Couple
We both loved the experience, had an amazing experience at every stop for different reasons every time. Bruno was an incredible skipper and made the trip 10x better in almost every way. Thank you
- Callum, 15/07/2024 06:26, Travelled in a Couple
The best week with SailCroatia - highly recommend to everyone!!! I was a solo traveller but never felt like one with SailCroatia as everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Great opportunity to meet new people and explore new places by visiting different islands through Croatia!!
- Hannah , 29/06/2024 19:33, Travelled Solo
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)

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent Flotilla Week with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the overall experience, especially the daily swim stops and the cleanliness of the yacht upon boarding. We appreciate your comments about the skipper's guidance and presence. Ensuring our skippers are more involved in organizing excursions and providing destination insights is important to us, and we will work on enhancing this aspect of our service. Additionally, we note your desire for more yachts in the flotilla. We continuously aim to expand our fleet and enhance the group experience, and your input will help us in planning future flotilla weeks. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
Ante the Captain, swim spots, the islands, the team

From the amazing people on board, the skipper Bruno being so fun and knowledgeable, to the amazing swim stops and food. I’ll be coming back to Croatia for years to come!
- Alex, 21/08/2023 06:44, Travelled Solo
I had the time of my life with SailCroatia. A great combination of sailing, swimming and partying. Our skipper Andrés was incredible and such a fun spirit and the group had a great dynamic where I as a solo traveler fit right in. Made friends and memories for life. Definitely a bucket list item and may come back in the future.
- Mark, 15/08/2023 18:07, Travelled Solo
Skipper Ante was absolutely incredible. Croatia is amazing and he made the whole week perfect.

Our week sailing on Flotilla was made amazing by our skipper, Sim. She went out of her way to make sure everyone was accounted for and happy. Awesome recommendations and a good laugh.
- Anonymous, 08/06/2023 18:57, Travelled Solo
The crew we had were so good! Made friends for life! And our skipper Sim, she was actually the best! Made sure we all had the best time! My partner and I were in our 30’s and were a bit hesitant about going on but that all changed once we were on the yaught! Best week ever!
- Ingrid, 07/06/2023 15:10, Travelled in a Couple
Lots of fun, Sim was great!
- Graydon, 05/06/2023 01:04, Travelled in a Couple
It was a great way to relax and see Dalmatian islands
- Iuliia, 26/09/2022 08:24, Travelled Solo
We had an amazing trip with Kiko last week! The company provides skipper breakfast everyday, but we only got breakfast about half the days. We had fun on all the excursions but it was unclear the exact plan/ cost until an hour or two before it was happening. My biggest complaint though was that we only sailed for about 10-15 minutes for the entire week at sea. I am extremely disappointed that we only put the sails up 1 time and that is only because I asked. If I wanted to motor around I would have chosen a more comfortable boat to do that in. The best part of sailing is when the sails are up. I understand that the wind was not ideal sometimes but the wind was >10 knots for most of the time! We seemed to be on a time crunch to get to the destination but I would have rather taken more time to put the sails up and go slower. The end of the trip was bad too, we got to split (worst marina) and Kiko took off with no instructions for us. The trip should have ended a day early, it was a waste.
- Elise White , 08/08/2022 23:28, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Elise, thank you for your review! We are really pleased to hear you had an amazing trip with Kiko, thank you. Breakfasts onboard aren't included as our guests have the flexibility to budget for all meals whilst onboard and generally, the group will chip in to purchase groceries for the week. We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the excursions offered. Sails will be raised if winds allow and if the skipper can do so in a safe manner. We aim to get a good balance between land vs sea, so that guests can enjoy sailing on the Adriatic as well as enjoying time at each destination, so getting the balance just right to suit everyone, is what we aim for. We understand that guests were advised that the last night onboard could be enjoyed either onboard or in Split town - we do hope you got to enjoy your evening in Split, as there is so much to see and do. We thank you again for your review and hope to have you join us in the near future.
My skipper and the whole Sail Croatia team made my experience so amazing and couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks for showing us around the beautiful country and keeping us safe and happy.

Staff were amazing and facilitators were great
- Lima, 26/07/2022 21:45, Travelled Solo
Hi Lima, thank you for your 5 star review of your Tour on board Incognito!
Sail Croatia put on a great show for me. I really enjoyed the exploration of many islands we were able to see in such a short amount of time. The skippers were lovely and organised a lot of both beautiful sights and fun activities to give us opportunities to both relax and party. There was elements of disorganisation in communication of plans sometimes, and the included breakfast was minimal to say the least. Was also one of the only solo travellers so would have appreciated more mingling activities to be organised. The way the tour was set up made it difficult to meet people from the other boats. In the end, I did make some connections and met some great people. All in all was a great experience and have no regrets.
- Rebecca , 26/07/2022 07:00, Travelled Solo
Ich habe schon einiges Gutes über Segeltörns gehört. Trotzdem gibt es zu Beginn, vor allem wenn man alleine reist, immer einige Fragen: Werden meine Erwartungen erfüllt, sind die Destinationen abwechlungsreich und vor allem, wie werden die anderen Mitreisenden sein? Und oh mein Gott, es hätte einfach nicht besser sein können!!! :-) Mit Scott hatten wir einen absolut erfahrenen, lockeren und super freundlichen Skipper an Bord. Wir haben unsere Ziele recht spontan gestaltet um so viel wie möglich die Windgegebenheiten zu nutzen und richtig zu segeln. Da wir nicht in der Hauptsaison unterwegs waren, waren wir an sehr vielen Spots komplett alleine, was es einmalig gemacht hat! Wir wechselten zwischen kleinen, wunderschönen, ruhigen Orten und solchen in denen auch mal mehr los war. Meine Crew hätte ich mir zudem nicht besser vorstellen können! International, alle spontan und Bock darauf was zu erleben. Am Ende fiel der Abschied allen sehr schwer! Fazit: Jederzeit wieder!! :-)
- Lara, 05/10/2021 07:59, Travelled Solo
Translation: I've heard some good things about sailing trips. Nevertheless, at the beginning, especially when traveling alone, there are always some questions: Will my expectations be met, are the destinations varied and, above all, what will the other fellow travelers be like? And oh my god it just couldn't have been better !!! :-) With Scott we had an absolutely experienced, easy-going and super friendly skipper on board. We designed our goals quite spontaneously in order to use the wind conditions as much as possible and to sail properly. Since we weren't out in the main season, we were completely alone at a lot of spots, which made it unique! We alternated between small, beautiful, quiet places and those in which there was something going on. I couldn't have imagined my crew any better! International, all spontaneous and ready to experience something. In the end it was very difficult for everyone to say goodbye! Conclusion: anytime again !! :-) Thank you so much for your review. Sounds like you had an absolutely awesome time on your U39 Yacht Tour Lara and to know your expectations were exceeded, is wonderful to hear. We have to agree with you - Scott and the crew are just amazing and we know you would've been in good hands with the experienced crew. It's great to hear you enjoyed the beauty of Croatia and got to see some of the lovely secluded spots in such a unique way, almost a private tour :-). We hope to see you on one of our tours or cruises soon. Thank you.
Sail Croatia is a gem! Explored beautiful Islands, the knowledge of the skippers is incredible and the iternaary was perfect. The best way to see Croatia and meet new people from different places, perfect for a solo traveller like me. Beautiful swim stops, amazing sunsets, great recommendations for restaurants and even sailing lessons! Thank you Ivan and Anna for your exceptional customer service. You were both incredible and contributed to making this trip memorable and one of the best holidays I've been on. I will for sure be back next year with friends!
- Dabila, 17/09/2021 14:00, Travelled Solo
I had the most amazing experience during our Under 39’s sail Croatia week. Our group all got on so well and our skipper Ana was the best of the best. She really made the week and went above and beyond for us all. I would highly recommend this trip, you will make best friend and unforgettable memories! Can’t wait to come back next year!
- Anonymous, 10/09/2021 20:50, Travelled Solo
We had the best time sailing around on the Under 39's yacht tour - everything from your yacht, our skipper, the other travellers, and the destinations were fantastic.
- Sophie, 10/09/2021 06:57, Travelled in a Couple
It was so amazing to have a holiday where so much of it was prepared and taken care of! No need to stress every day about where to eat, what to see, what to do. Everything was already planned into our itinerary! And on top of that our skipper Ivan gave us a full run down of all the hidden gems in every port and island each day!
- Stacey, 10/09/2021 06:47, Travelled in a Couple
If I could give it 10 stars I would. Igor is the best skipper! Instead of a raving review talking about how gorgeous the islands are, how all the members in my boat became like family, made life long friends and memories we will never forget, I want to take the time to help those who are interested or may have already booked. 1. Bring at least 5 swimsuits & 5 going out outfits. Thats all you'll need. On the boat, where you spend 70 % of your time, you will live in your swim suit, with all the swim stops and the heat it's perfect. 2. Don't buy food for the week on the first day, There simply isn't enough room in the fridge. Just buy enough for a few days and keep buying along the way. My boat ended up taking turns cooking lunch for everyone which really brought up together & saved money. Highly recommend. +For dinner: where the skippers recommend were always amazing! 3. On Vis: take a scooter and tour the whole island, amazing! 4. Heels? No. Pants? No. Hats? Yes. Sunscreen? yes!
- Sophia, 22/08/2021 18:13, Travelled Solo
Me and my boyfriend joined a boat of 6 other strangers and met the loveliest people. I was a bit apprehensive at first as I am nearing the cut off age (!)...but my worries were gone on after the first day and we met our skipper Igor who was friendly and great. We could party and join in as much or as little as we wanted - everything was so chilled. The boat was comfy and the locations we visited were beautiful and all different. From the customer service staff before we left, to the skipper helping us with our PCR tests - nothing was too much. Would recommend Sail Croatia - great value for money if you want to explore Croatia and make some new friends!
- Emily, 20/08/2021 06:46, Travelled in a Couple
We had the best week with Sail Croatia, we just loved the route that we did and all of the beautiful places we saw, the experience being on the boat. We ate great food every day. The experience was really made by the great team we had on the boat, the new friends we made and a great skipper, Igor!
- Hannah, 08/08/2021 22:09, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Hanna, thank you for your 5 star review! We are so happy that you had a fantastic week on your Sail Croatia Under 39s Yacht Tour with us this season. We really loved having you on board with us, exploring Croatia. It is true - the people on board with you really can have such a wonderful affect on your Yacht Tour, so we are please that you all had a wonderful time together. Thank you!
I had a fantastic experience on my Under 39s Yacht Tour Summer 2020. Sail Croaita was amazing at communication. I reached out to them on the chat on the website and they were so responsive in helping me book my trip with my girlfriend. When we arrived we were greeted by our skipper Scotty. Scotty was hands down one of the nicest guys and cared so much about everyones experience on board. The sailing was incredible. Clean boat, amazing stops and plenty of food/drink. Cannot say anything bad about my trip.
- Colin, 13/08/2020 13:48, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you for such a great review Colin! It's good to hear that you had such an incredible experience with us in Croatia this summer on your Under 39s Yacht Tour - what an amazing way to explore! We're so pleased you were happy with the service from our Sales Team on the Live Chat function on the website and that they were able to help you in securing the trip for both you and your girlfriend. I will certainly be sure to pass your kind words onto Scott, we are all so happy to hear you really enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Thank you!
Great skipper, amazing people, beautiful islands and bays. The best experience. I definitely will go with Sail Croatia again!
- Karla, 07/08/2020 15:48, Travelled in a Couple
Great that you had the best experience on your Under 39s Yacht Tour with us this year Karla - we would love to have you join us again! :)
The week onboard was very good fun. The skipper looked after well and the boat was well equipped. It's not exactly what we were expecting. Every night stop except one was in a small town, with a party night. The first night which was in a small quite cove was the best. The sails weren't really used due to light winds and direction of travel. It would be good if the route could be variable to allow engine of, real sailing. We had the energy and enthusiasm to enjoy the 'party cruise', The same could be achieved with a power boat. Overall great fun week with lots of memories.
- Stephen, 07/09/2019 08:18, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you for your review! It is great to hear you had a great time and you have made some lovely memories. We will be sure to pass your comments to our Operations Manager so improvements can be made where possible. Thanks again!
Our Skipper Igor played a huge part in how well our trip was. He had great knowledge he passed on to us, he was organised and extremely helpful with anything we needed. We also had a great crew which made it so much fun.
- Brad collins , 16/08/2019 07:54, Travelled in a Couple
Thanks so much for the review - we're really happy to hear you enjoyed your experience and all aspects of our U35 Yacht Tour!
Before booking my tour I asked to be put in a boat with solo travellers, as I myself was travelling solo and they said it would not be a problem. To my surprise I got put in a boat with couples and and people who knew each other. Careful going on the smaller boat because you might be stuck with people who are close and will be hard to make friends.
- Fatah, 02/08/2019 09:11, Travelled Solo
Hi there. Many thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment of the tour. I have looked through previous correspondence and can see you were advised we only had availability on our Under 35s Yacht Tours for your requested departure date, so we did not have any other options available for you at the time, I'm afraid. Our Under 35s Yacht Tours consist of a group of usually 6 to 8 yachts sleeping 8 passengers on each sailing together in a flotilla, so it usually a very social experience. I checked and can see your departure had 47 guests across 6 yachts to enjoy the social experience on board. Thank you for joining us this season :)
I definitely enjoyed my week with sail Croatia but there were some things that did leave a bad vibe along the way. Firstly, our toilet was blocked from the previous group and we were unable to use it, it also smelt the whole time. We were unable to sail on one of the days and therefore missed the blue caves. Excursions were very expensive and there wasn't an alternative provided. It would have been nice if there was a SUP on board, a snorkelling kit or at least a ball to play watersports. Our skipper was lovely but wasn't around much. The best part was probably the swim stops. If it wasn't that we had such a lovely crew, the overall rating would've been a lot different. They definitely made the trip for us and we've definitely made friends for life.
- Ellie , 02/08/2019 07:38, Travelled in a Couple
Hi there, thank you for your 5 star review of your Under 35s Yacht Tour with us this season. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your week on board Jubilo! I've done some further research and have been advised by our Yacht Operations Manager and the skipper on board that the toilets were clean and in working order ready for your departure as they are with each Tour. Toilets on our yachts do require pumping manually which is explained by the skipper at the start of your Yacht Tour, however I want to apologise for any inconvenience caused by this. A visit to the blue caves in Vis are always weather permitted which is unfortunately out of our control. I'll be sure to pass your suggestions regarding extra activities, stand up paddles boards and snorkelling equipment onto our Yacht Operations Manager so that we can make improvements for the future, we appreciate your feedback here. We're so pleased this did not deter you from having a great time and making friends for life on board. Thank you so much for joining us this summer! :)
I had the best time on my sail Croatia experience, I did the under 35 yacht tour and I met a fantastic group of people. My amazing skipper Ana was also very knowledgeable and friendly and it was so nice actually getting to sail and enjoy the trip with the fleet of other yachts! Would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
- Sarah, 05/07/2019 05:42, Travelled Solo
Hi there - thanks for sharing your amazing experience with us. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your U35 Yacht Tour with the fabulous Ana! We hope you do join us again soon!
I really enjoyed my week sailing around the Croatian islands. It was a perfect way to see everything and a fantastic experience to be on a yacht for a week. The new premiere yacht was fantastic, the air-conditioning really helped. The skipper was very professional and made us feel very safe and at home whilst onboard. I would highly recommend this trip!
- Hannah, 29/06/2019 07:21, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We totally agree, it's just the perfect way to tour the islands, in a more intimate setting with a smaller group of 8 people onboard. We will pass your lovely comments on to your skipper - thank you for recommending this trip!
Fantastic to sail in beautiful new 45 foot yacht. The skipper was a really sound bloke who did such an amazing job of showing us the islands and pushing the boat when it was windy. A unique experience I will never forget. Would certainly use sail Croatia for a private charter.
- Alex , 28/06/2019 15:52, Travelled in a Couple
Thank you so much for your review - we are pleased you enjoyed your experience!
Everything from the places we visited to the fantastic staff and the people we met made this trip unforgettable. The islands we visited were gorgeous and had plenty to see and do on each, our skipper recommended places to visit and see at each island, ranging from walks and beaches to nightlife. Cannot thank our skipper (Pablo/Karlo) enough for making this trip what it was, his knowledge of the area and friendliness really made our trip. He was always there when we needed advice and provided everything we needed for a fantastic trip. Thank you Sail Croatia and thank you Pablo, we will highly recommend!
- Immy, 28/06/2019 08:48, Travelled in a Couple
Hi there, thank you so much for your review - we would love to have you again! Amazing to hear all aspects of the trip made your week with us unforgettable. Croatia is a beautiful country with so much to see and do, so we really are glad you enjoyed it and that your skipper was able to share so much of his knowledge, making the trip a fantastic one for you :) Thank you for your recommendation!
Great week, I made new friends from all around the world. Both Day and Night life on this tour was good with a right balance - I was concerned everyone would be drunk and partying all hours but it was much more relaxed than that which was perfect. The exploring, swim spots and like minded people made it - along with the fab skipper Ivan. I would recommend if you want an all round great week!

From the crew to the skipper to the places we went and the things we did, it was non-stop fun from start to finish! Never have I ever been so sad for a holiday to end. I would 100% recommend to anyone, especially solo travellers, cause you definitely don’t feel alone and will make so many friends!
- Lucy , 24/08/2018 07:07, Travelled Solo
I had the best time on the August U35s Cruise! It started right after I finished up weekend two of Tomorrowland, and it was a cruise that had the perfect balance of relaxation, partying, and island hopping. I had a fantastic crew, which really made the experience. No issues at all if you're a solo traveller, as everyone is incredibly friendly and there to have a great time! I could definitely have kicked on for another week, that's for sure!
- James, 14/08/2018 08:54, Travelled Solo
We had the best week ever on the under 35 yacht tour! Our crew and other crews were all so friendly and the skippers were amazing! We did not want to leave after the week and wish we had booked on for another week. It was the best way to see all the different islands and I would totally recommend it. Was the best week of our lives!
- Amy, 04/08/2018 12:17, Travelled in a Couple
It was great being on a smaller boat and really getting to know the people you were with. It was such a fun week and I’d definitely recommend. The only thing I would say is it would be nice to have more time swimming and sailing rather than being docked. Still the best week and memories I’ll have forever!
- Phoebe , 03/08/2018 07:41, Travelled in a Couple
Did the under 35 yacht tour and was amazing. The skippers were all fantastic as well is all the people I met been traveling a few weeks but this was by far my favourite part of my trip
- Brendan, 06/07/2018 07:21, Travelled in a Couple
If you've been thinking about sailing around Croatia, do it and do it now! Honestly one of the best trips of my life. Awesome crew. Fantastic time. Great memories. Would do it all again in a heart beat.
- Ania, 02/07/2018 07:07, Travelled in a Couple
we had such a fun on the under 35's yacht tour! Our skipper was fantastic and told us all the best places to go and eat and came with us on many of our excursions and meals. We got to sail the yacht when the wind was right and all the locations we stayed at and swim spots were nothing short of incredible. We had a great group of people and joining up with the other yachts meant there was no shortage of new people to meet and hang out with. A fantastic week and I would recommend it to anyone.
- Dee, 01/09/2017 08:46, Travelled in a Couple
Our yacht tour was amazing - the perfect balance between chill and party. The swim stops and learning to sail were the highlights, and our Skipper, Andrija, took great care of us and had great banter. A perfect week.
- Bart, 01/09/2017 03:44, Travelled in a Couple
We were had way through our Europe trip when we did the sailing tour. It was like nothing else! Our skipper Igor was fantastic and the destinations, the culture and the people we met were fantastic! I would highly recommend this trip to someone looking for a nice mix of fun, relaxation and seeing the beautiful islands of Croatia.
