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

My Sail Croatia trip was great. My trip manager Marin did an incredible job, he was efficient, organised, helpful and caring. He made sure we were all looked after and always had everything sorted so we never had to figure anything out on our own. We were given great suggestions for each place and I felt he personally got to know us all individually which meant a lot. An experience I really appreciated was when I wanted to go home early from a night out and Marin personally went with me and helped me get home, it meant so much to me. The trip itself was great and the team accommodated us with the changing weather well and always had our best interest in mind. Thanks so much for all the hard work!

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!

I can truly say that my week on Sail Croatia aboard the Kapetan Jure, sailing from Split to Dubrovnik, was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Despite a few days of rough weather, Jess, our incredible Sail rep, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible, and she definitely succeeded. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm were infectious, always made sure everyone was having the time of their lives. Jess didn’t just guide the trip, she made it unforgettable. Without her, I wouldn’t have had such an extraordinary experience. The entire crew was fantastic, too! Papi, our captain, knew just how to lift our spirits, and his smile was contagious. The chef’s meals far exceeded my expectations—some of the best food I enjoyed during my entire trip through Europe. Every member of the crew brought so much joy and laughter to our journey. The last night and morning as we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t hold back the tears, I didn’t want it to end! Onto planning the next!

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

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!

Had the most incredible week on Sail Croatia! Completely exhausting in the best way - days filled with swimming off the boat, exploring local towns, sunset drinks and then partying until sunrise. Our host Marin was incredible and absolutely made the trip - such a wonderful human with such great energy and always there to help when we needed. Couldn't have imagined a better week if I tried! Would highly recommend.

This was our first sail Croatia cruise and it exceeded all my expectations. The itinerary was a perfect way to see Croatia and included some great excusions. Every stop was beautiful Our cruise rep Vicko was fantastic, his knowledge allowed us to plan a perfect week and see as much as we could in the time we had. We definitely will return again

I had an incredible week with Sail Croatia and have nothing but positive feedback. I was fortunate to sail with a fantastic group of people, making lasting friendships and feeling welcomed as a solo traveler. Lauren, my representative, was exceptional—highly organized and always able to lift our spirits. The crew was outstanding, the food impressive, and everyone was approachable and eager to help. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities, including canyoning, biking, and buggies. Overall, the experience was perfect and ranks among the best things I’ve ever done. Thank you, Sail Croatia and Lauren—I highly recommend this experience!

A comfortable ship crewed by an exceptional team and hosted by lovely knowledgeable hosts. The itinerary with cycling included was and varied and just the right distance and the information provided by our hosts prior to and during the rides was relevant, helpful and interesting. Although we had weather interruptions towards the end of he week, our crew and host did all they could to ensure we still had a fulfilling trip. The food was superb and plentiful prepared by an excellent chef who was a wonderful character and served by a most well mannered and delightful waiter who kept a clean and tidy salon. All crew were friendly, helpful and for whom nothing was any trouble. These are great holidays for meeting and spending time with new people who become friends. This is the second time I have taken a holiday with Sail Croatia and have loved both trips. I would book again in a heart beat if there was an itinerary that gave greater variation from the two trips I have now done.

I recently had the pleasure of spending an incredible week sailing through the stunning Croatian coastline aboard the Kapetan June, and I can confidently say it was an experience I will cherish forever. From the moment we set sail, the adventure was nothing short of extraordinary. Our week was guided by the amazing rep, Jessica. From the very first day, Jessica's enthusiasm and professionalism made a big difference in our experience. She was always available to answer questions, share local insights, and organise fun activities that brought the group together. Her passion for Croatia and its culture was infectious, and she genuinely cared about ensuring that everyone had the best time possible. Thank you, Jessica, for making this trip so memorable! The crew on Kapetan June were friendly, attentive, and worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Their seamless teamwork helped create a relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to fully embrace the beauty of our surroundings.

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

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!

This trip could not have been so well run and awesome without the support of the trip guide Marin. Marin was so knowledgeable, patient, and understanding with our group and really made the whole trip flow smoothly. This was my first experience with sail Croatia and it was one of the best travel experience of my life between the sightseeing and exploring and nightlife. The crew was also super nice and the chef was excellent, Lunch everyday was so good! All around this was such a fun trip and I highly recommend it for those traveling solo or with a friend!

I did Sail Croatia (Split return South route) on Pacific with Saša as a tour guide. Given Saša is a local, he was able to provide the tour group with first hand knowledge and tips regarding the destinations, optional excursions and things to see and do to enrich our sail week. Saša was also able to ensure all of the tour were involved, welcomed and accounted for within daily sail life and group activities. Saša’s sense of humour and understanding of foreign (especially Australian) culture also enabled him to easily relate to and bond with all of the tourists on board. In my opinion, Saša is the PERFECT tour guide for sail Croatia and I could not recommend him more!

Sail Croatia was a very pleasant surprise, it really exceeded my expectations in many levels. Staff was extremely attentive and accommodating to every guest’s needs. Food and service were amazing. Ship was very clean. Different options were given every day for optional excursions. Ship schedule was perfect to enjoy every stop’s treasures and nightlife for those who wished. Ioana was our host and was always around to bring groups together and make everyone feel involved. I was traveling solo but never felt alone. We all felt like family by day 2. Fun laughs and memories to cherish forever. I would come back again and again!

The trip exceeded all expectations. It was a very last minute decision to go on the cruise and was quite hesitant at first. However, shortly after arriving, I soon realized the week was going to be one to remember. Our representative, Miran was nothing short of perfection. He knew every location backwards, recommended the best eating and sightseeing locations, but also managed to get us into some unbelievable partying places too. Our bartender Tomi was an absolute hit! He knows how to get a party started and definitely knows how to make everyone’s nights an absolute wild one. The rest of the crew worked behind the scenes to ensure our safety was their top priority even when we encountered some questionable weather. All-in-all, do not hesitate - book that trip! You may walk away with a sore head, damaged liver and sleep-deprived, but it will be worth it.

Everything was well organised and I didn't have to think or make decisions and after having solo travelled it was a nice change. The guide was really good at her job as well as the crew. They parked the boat is unbelievable spots to have a swim each day, and the boat was always really clean and immaculately looked after. There was a good age range of people on the boat, and all kinds of travellers from couples to people doing it solo.

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

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.

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

Mother Jessica was an incredible tour manager, brought great energy and was always there to answer questions and find us fun stuff to do like drinking games (Rabbits). She went above and beyond the Call of Duty, and didn't at all look like a 12 year old boy. She's also a good person (despite being an only child), an excellent dancer (below average bike rider) and very knowledgeable. If she's not the CEO of the company by the time I return, you will have to answer to me, and my particular set of skills. Big Blue was crewed by a bunch of absolute legends, who were always ready to get the party going, and were always accommodating of our needs (1 million beers at 9am) and wants (food). All in all, would give 6 stars if I could Meow

The staff themselves, and their willingness to go above and beyond to make the experience great for everyone. They were extremely friendly, organised and helpful, to the point of providing personalised maps at each of the destinations so that we were easily able to get around, and offered suggestions if we didn't know what we wanted to do. Towards the end of the trip I unfortunately came down with the Flu. A staff member regularly checked up on me while on the boat, and when it proved to be a stubborn Flu, they accompanied me to the Hospital to get help. On the final day, they even helped me walk my bags to my next hostel, as I was not well enough to carry them myself and as a solo traveller, did not have anyone to help me. I truly cannot recommend Sail Croatia more. I had a brilliant time, made new friends and had crazy fun experiences. All that alone would have me raving about them, but the biggest this was they truly cared about each of their passengers, and made sure I was safe.

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

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

Literally a once in a lifetime experience, because I don’t think my body could take a round 2. It was a great fucking time though. The people were amazing, not only the travellers but also the crew of Penelopa (George - what a chef, crepes every day, Mario - a legend & Isabel - Big Daddy’s wild daughter)! The swim stops would lead to floating to a nearby beach and getting free hospitality shots. The buggy’s got my passenger princess close to a heart attack while the canyoning almost killed me. The parties, late nights & little sleep but cool clubs & good company. It was heaven. I’ll always cherish the memories. It’s a 10/10 from me, would recommend (heavily)!
