I loved Ivice (our ride leader) and Anita (the sweep/story teller extraordinaire). Ivice made every ride fun and kept an eye on each one of us to make sure we stayed safe! The rides were beautiful and the terrain provided a great workout. When the weather looked iffy, Ivice and the captain came up with an alternate plan that was also fun and rewarding. The e-bikes were terrific; powerful yet easy to use! Anita always brought interesting stories each day and planned some really fun activities for the evening. Since I have been back I have raved about both of these people and recommended the trip to a number of people. I apologize for the delay in submitting this review but I did not return to the states for 34 days. Both of these people are true assets to your company and I can’t say enough good things about each of them! Thank you for a fabulous vacation and please let them know how much we loved being on vacation with them!! With deep affection, Ginnie Daine

Thanks Sail Croatia for a very relaxing, fun and interesting sail around the islands off the coast of Split. We had a great time. The catamarans were Spacious! Ensuites were a happy surprise. Skipper was excellent.

- Kathy, 04/11/2024 03:11, Travelled with Friend/s

Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!

I had a wonderful time. The cruise was amazing...beautiful food, friendly staff and excellent hike guidance by Marte and Andro. I can't say enough to thank everyone for looking after me so well.

- Sue Ashmore, 27/10/2024 07:58, Travelled Solo

The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.

- Aimee, 26/10/2024 22:10, Travelled Solo

The guide, Anita, was excellent. Charming, efficient and most helpful. It was a joy to have such service. I cannot recommend her too much. The crew were very helpful. Food not so good- too much overcooked meat, just one fish dish in 7 days.. Good bar service. Most enjoyable party after the captain',s dinner- lots of dancing ! I did not engage in excursions, as too strenuous for my age.. Others enjoyed them.. Cabin fine and very efficient and pleasant cleaner.

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..

- Simon, 23/10/2024 11:31, Travelled with Friend/s

What an adventure! Sailing on the Olimp was fantastic. First, the cruise leader, Ioana. Wow. Dynamic, organized, fun. Not sure the cruise would have been the same without her leading the way. The ship itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful to make sure all our needs were met. Beautiful destinations and fun history tours. Even though we were traveling with friends, the new friends we made helped make things even better. Would be happy to go again.

- Gary, 22/10/2024 15:13, Travelled with Friend/s

This trip was wonderful from beginning to end. Croatia is a beautiful country and we were able to enjoy it both on land and while cruising the Adriatic. The ship, Queen Jelena, was our comfortable floating hotel. The cabin/bath were a good size ( the bed a wee bit hard) and the ship's common areas offered various areas to sit, lounge, meet friends or just enjoy being on the sea. The food was delicious, the crew was fantastic and incredibly hard working, the wine tastings and cultural experiences were lots of fun. Our trip manager Ivan was absolutely top notch. The small group size made it easy to mingle with the other guests which made the experience even richer (although a list of guest names and name tags for the crew, at least initially, would have been helpful for getting acquainted the first few days. I would highly recommend the Sail Croatia wine cruise.

The ship, Olmp, was immaculate and the crew always helpful. With only 36 passengers the experience was very personal and we were fortunate to have a very interesting and homogenous group . The meals served were all delicious but the service was a little too efficient for me. I prefer a slower pace while eating. The only meal that I would avoid n the future is the so called "BBQ". Definitely not up t the chefs usually high standards. The Sail Croatia cruise is a great way to sample all that Croatia has to offer. Our cruise director, Ioana, added another dimension to our touring experience. We all had a wonderful and educational experience on the cruise

- Jay, 22/10/2024 08:22, Travelled with Friend/s

Even before we started our cruise, Sail Croatia’s service was exceptional. They provided us with a complimentary pick up from the airport, and if we had have been going straight home, they would have provided an airport drop off too. This attention to detail continued right through our cruise. We did a Wine Cruise, which I believe is fairly new to the itinerary, but you’d never have know because it was so well planned and took us to so many beautiful wineries to sample an array of local wines. Our ship was Queen Jelena and it was just stunning. We had a cabin on the lower deck and we were absolutely delighted with it. It was spacious and comfortable. We had breakfast and lunch every day on the ship and the quality and quantity was exceptional!!! Pamela, our waitress and bar attendant was very friendly and efficient and couldn’t have done more for us. We were so fortunate to have Ivan as our guide, he was absolutely amazing. He made himself available all day every day. Best trip ever!

- Lee Goodall, 22/10/2024 06:07, Travelled with Friend/s

Our group of six experienced an amazing week of beautiful scenery and wonderful people. We had 26 other tourists from six countries, and we all enjoyed each other's company. The tour guides -- Miranda and Tonka -- made it all happen. From the start, they encouraged mingling. They challenged us with the rides, and they engaged us with their stories. Super memorable trip. Pomalo!

- David, 22/10/2024 01:24, Travelled with Friend/s

We had a great time. Was a bit disappointed with our cabin as it was below deck, but we should have booked way in advance to get an above deck one. The staff were fabulous Ivan and Lucija were lovely and helped everyone on board if they had any issues. Will certainly recommend this trip to friends.

We recently returned from an incredible 7-day sailing charter with Sail Croatia, and we can’t recommend it enough! We were greeted by Ante our skipper for the week, planned out our trip and set sail that same afternoon. We spent the next few days exploring the stunning islands off Croatia. Most days we would stop to swim in crystal-clear waters and prepare a luncheon before sailing off to our next port. We enjoyed one day on land in Vis and explored the island on scooters which was another fun adventure. The boat was spacious for the 6 of us and well-equipped, with comfortable cabins and a beautiful deck perfect for day sailing. Our skipper Ante was fantastic and arranged some very fun evenings for us – dinner at a vineyard and another at an inland Konoba featuring traditionally prepared meals. He was also very conscientious about giving us our space while always being close at hand. This sailing charter exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend!

Our guides Miranda and Tonia were the best! They were encouraging and helpful and knowledgeable! The boat was nice however I might mention a few things they could improve. Be more transparent about pricing of drinks. Choices of breakfast food could be better. Like more fruit and better toaster. Squeegee for showers to help with humidity in the rooms. Better WiFi in rooms. The ports were amazing and captain was great at parking the boat! I love Croatia and the people who live there are friendly and kind! We will be back!

- Demetria, 18/10/2024 10:01, Travelled with Friend/s

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!

- Janet, 18/10/2024 08:28, Travelled with Friend/s

Ivice and Anita did a fantastic job planning our cycling activities, telling us about the various towns and their highlights, and providing considerable assistance with restaurants, additional experiences, and answering innumerable questions. They were SO customer focused and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The ship's crew was similarly helpful - from Captain Ivan's thoughtful route updates to keep us in good weather to Paola's friendly service in the galley/bar and Olga's attention to detail in keeping our cabins clean and comfy. The meals were tasty and nutritious, and the e-bikes were new and very effective at assisting us up the sometimes steep inclines. This was a great way to see the Croatian islands - highly recommend!

- Bill, 17/10/2024 16:05, Travelled with Friend/s

We avoided the extreme heat and crowds that summer in Croatia usually brings. We were still able to swim in the mornings and enjoy walking around the smaller towns. The food on the Esperanza was quite good. Our tour director Ivana did a good job keeping us informed and on schedule.

Not only was the location - scenery, natural beauty, food etc. - memorable, the way the biking tours were planned and the exceptional guides - Ivica and Anita - were a major part of this amazing trip. I can’t say enough about the friendliness and the warmth both demonstrated. It’s line all of us made new friends. They were an integral part of the fun we had. I wouldn’t mind doing the trip over again but only with these 2.

- Arvind, 16/10/2024 21:01, Travelled with Friend/s

Our cruise was soooo much fun! Our hosts Ivica and Anita were the best, and I miss them. It was hard to leave. They did a superb job of planning, leading, nurturing, creating a fun and caring atmosphere. We were traveling as a group of 16 who already knew each other. The combination of the wonderful boat with a room of our own, and the energetic excursions to see the countryside made this the best vacation we have ever taken. I'm telling my friends and family that they just HAVE to do it. - Susan

This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!

Our skipper Ante was fantastic. He had a recommended route but was happy to modify it once we shared our preferences. Although we were all experienced sailors, it was great to have a captain for local tips both on & off the water. He is very well connected on all the islands and made excellent recommendations to keep us busy on land. Thanks for a fabulous week Ante & Sail Croatia!

- Julia, 14/10/2024 15:02, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

We did the Southern Split Sail and Cycle tour and it was absolutely amazing! I took the classic bike and there was no shortage of great cycling. ....if you are into climbing and zipping down hills and taking in breathtaking scenery along coastlines. I felt a wonderful sense of accomplishment and Ilivica and Anita, our tour guides, made sure the classic bike riders were well-accommodated along with the larger group of e-biker riders. They also provided wonderful recommendations of things to do and places to eat while island hopping. I would highly recommend this cycling tour to any active-minded person wishing to explore the Croatian islands. Great fun!

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 !

Cycling is a fantastic way to see the beautiful scenery of the Croatian coast and islands. E-bikes make it easy and being based on a boat means you don't have to re-pack every night. The crew were fantastic; cheerful and helpful at all times. Our fellow passengers were also great - I guess self selecting for an activity based trip. Our cabin was small but clean and comfortable - with a bit of engine noise in the bottom of the boat. Food on the boat was plentiful and fresh, if a little basic. We loved the trip and are trying to decide which route to do next.

Put Sail-Cycle Croatia on your must do bucket list. One of the best holidays imagineable if you enjoy stunning aquamarine water, breathtaking island scenery and great food & wine... with some exercise (ebiking) adventures thrown in. The Sail Croatia crew were friendly & attentive to everyones needs. Our 2 tour guides (Dora & Lucia) were simply brilliant - professional, informative and humourous.
