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!

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.

The crew, the food, the quality of bikes, the itinerary and the beautiful ship itself!

- Terry, 16/09/2024 02:50, Travelled Solo

Our yacht is well maintained, modern, clean and spacious. Hosts, Crews, and guides are friendly polite and knowledgeable. Meals are delicious. Croatia coast sea is calm. Sleep in the yacht is pleasant. No worries for sea sickness. Every night in different towns, different beaches without packing, unpacking and bus around. A truly must have experience.

Most tourists to the Dalmatian islands most likely never make it past the coast and beaches. Yes, that area is stunning on most every island. But… seeing the interior of the island is equally as beautiful. Stone farmhouses nestled among vineyards and olive trees. Churches, Everyday life for the inhabitants. I am so glad I had the opportunity. But I won’t kid you… while it is beautiful, the hills are challenging! I was not prepared for how hard a 20 mile ride would be! Make sure you reserve an e-bike if you are the least bit uncertain. I would do this tour again. Absolutely. The crew was wonderful, the guides caring and amazing, the food on ship was great, and the ports we visited were everything and more than I expected. Totally worth it and I was sad when it was time to disembark the ship. : (

- Kathryn, 19/08/2024 04:29, Travelled Solo

The crew was fabulous. Very professional and hardworking. The Tour Guides were awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The itinerary was well planned and worked well. The food was great, room was clean. I was traveling solo and was assigned a roommate which worked well. Met many wonderful people on board and felt like family at the end. I would definitely recommend.

- Karen, 02/07/2024 11:02, Travelled Solo

The 8-day sail and cycle cruise was excellent from beginning to end. All information communication, both on the website and in person, was clear and informative. Our guides, crew, and chef were friendly, fun, and helpful. The food was delicious. For breakfast, we had a great choice of food, and lunch and/or dinner were three courses. The bikes were well-maintained and great to ride. The riding was mostly on the road, with a guide in front and back. The guides were very experienced and safety conscious and made the experience personal. Hope to be returning to do another.

- Jenny, 20/06/2024 08:07, Travelled Solo

I had an incredible experience on the Emanuel ship during the Split to Dubrovnik cycle tour. The crew were top notch - always willing to answer the many questions the guests had, Very courteous and patient. We were treated so well and we were fed delicious food. The cycling portion was so fun. Our Lead Representative and Bike Tour leader, Dora, was excellent at providing information to us throughout the day regarding the bike routes, the timing of various stops along the way, and other useful information. Her local knowledge was particularly helpful when we were in the various ports. She kept us up to date on any schedule changes so that we were always in the know. Andro was our other Representative and Bike Tour Sub-leader and he was very knowledgeable about Croatian history, sharing information about each island we visited. He was always willing to answer questions from the group and help in any way he could. The boat was very comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend.

- Colette, 17/06/2024 19:46, Travelled Solo

This was my second leg of a 2 week trip. First of all, I can't thank Captain Ivan for a superb trip! He was very prompt and got us to our destinations with time to spare. The bikes were on and off the boat in 5 minutes and he got the best docking spots! Ivika and Marija were a great team. Every morning, Ivica did a briefing with an interactive map and his #1 concern was that we all were safe and together. The both made sure we saw everything that there was too see! Beyond fabulous! The food was fresh and delicious and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Olga & Paula were very attentive to all the guests and went out of their way to satisfy everyone's needs. The rooms were spacious and spotless. In conclusion, this crew was including guides were an outstanding team and I am doing this again next year for 2 weeks!

- SUSIE, 10/06/2024 08:16, Travelled Solo

Rare, exotic locations in a very nice, stable boat. Lots of tasty food and a very kind and helpful crew on board.

- Richard , 10/06/2024 06:22, Travelled Solo

The crew on the Mali Luka were the the most gracious bunch of folks. They all worked so hard to make our trip enjoyable and fun! Dora and Anita were our guides. They kept us safe and together. Everywhere we visited on the bikes or by foot, they have us a bit of history about the region. The captain Ivan was a very capable and friendly guy. He got us everywhere we needed to be and was always on time. Olga and Paula were the most hardworking, friendly and courteous woman always ready to help you out with anything you needed. The rides everyday were safe and fun with some elevation. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a little adventure! I'm doing 2 weeks and it's been fantastic

- susie, 03/06/2024 04:52, Travelled Solo

It was very pleasant group of people and great crew, Super friendly guides who made whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. Miranda and Lucija are fantastic team and very capable of handling any requests with such an ease. I would love to sail or tour with them again and would recommend this tour.

Friendly and well organised hosts, efficient and helpful crew, comfortable and spacious ship, great food (but lunches a bit too big). Great itinerary with visits to a variety of locations, but would be happy for cycling routes to be a bit longer. Great bunch of fellow holiday makers who made to holiday all the more enjoyable.

- Steve, 18/09/2023 23:14, Travelled Solo

The cycling guide Marin, and tour host Lola, worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful visit. Marin lead us on fun cycling tours of islands, and he was very mindful of our safety. Both Marin and Lola shared information about the history, culture and sites at each island, including recommendations for wonderful restaurants. The captain and crew of the Emmanuel also took great care of us.

To the crew and guides of Mali Ante I would like to express my sincere thanks for a brilliant week spent with you. Every aspect of the trip was handled with precision and professionalism. I had a fantastic time and will be back again in the future. Kind regards Ivan

- Ivan Medak, 14/09/2023 23:22, Travelled Solo

I had such a great time on the Mali Ante with guides Miranda and Josko. From the first minute of arrival they both worked to ensure the entire group was having a good time, and understanding the timeline for activities. Miranda and Josko brought great energy and humor to the entire trip that the whole group appreciated. Even when the weather was unpredictable, Miranda and Josko had alternative plans in place to ensure our time in Croatia was balanced with adventurous outings and beautiful scenic time to relax. They also provided interesting historical context to each island we visited by briefing us before and during our outings so we truly left with a better understanding of this amazing country of Croatia. Sail Croatia provides a great vacation on the Adriatic, but Miranda and Josko go above and beyond to provide an exceptional memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

- Mark, 05/09/2023 23:18, Travelled Solo

The 7 day cycle cruise was the best way to experience the real Croatia. Being able to choose the e-bike option allowed me to relax to the fullest in the hot summer heat and enjoy the fabulous smells of Croatian islands. Smelling the native rosemary fields and the sulfur from the vineyards was unlike anything I’ve experienced on my rides before. The guides were knowledgeable and gave historical context of the islands we traveled. It was a great balance of busy nightlife islands and chill and relaxed islands once frequented by the aristocracy. As a solo traveler it was a good way to safely see the country (though Croatia is far from dangerous) while meeting like-minded folks. Great job Mali Ante guides and crew! I will definitely consider another route next summer and convince friends to join!! Great value for your money all around!

- Melissa , 07/07/2023 14:58, Travelled Solo

I had the best week on the Mali Ante enjoying 7 days cruising from Split to Dubrovnik. The tour is extremely well planned from every aspect. The e-bikes were fantastic and easy to operate, the cycling routes were varied interesting and with spectacular scenery, there was time fi swimming, relaxing and sightseeing too. Meals on the boat were amazing - really fresh, plentiful and tasty lunches, breakfasts and some dinners also included. My cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable. The crew were really professional, kind and committed to ensuring everyone had a great time. Our tour guides Miranda and Mila were exceptional. Both were so engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of fun and humour. Mila’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Croatian history was really impressive and she delivered the information in the most engaging and interesting way. Our group was a lot of fun to travel with - couples, groups and solos from Australia, Canada, USA & the UK.

- Fiona, 03/07/2023 06:12, Travelled Solo

The attentive, courteous crew, the entertaining, caring guides, the food, our fellow guests, the itinerary, the accommodations, the equipment, the...everything made this vacation trip one of the most memorable ever!

- Cathy and John, 27/06/2023 05:17, Travelled Solo

I had a great time on this trip. The crew and the guides did everything under their control to ensure everyone had fun, was safe, and was taken on care of. Each and every stop was a beautiful location. The bikes rides were gorgeous. I would strongly recommend getting an e-bike unless you enjoy hill climbing and are good at it. Some of the hills were killer but the views at the stop were spectacular and well worth the effort. Croatia is a beautiful country and the people were welcoming. I would highly recommend a cycle and sail trip with Sail Croatia!

- Linda, 12/06/2023 14:01, Travelled Solo

Captain Ivan was the best!!!

- Sue, 05/06/2023 13:50, Travelled Solo

I had such a great time on the trip with Sail Croatia. From the boat and how well kept it was to the delicious food to the fantastic itinerary - hard to even know where to begin. But what really made it such a great experience was the guides - shoutout to Marin and Ivan - who both took great pains to ensure we were having a good time and they never failed to answer questions or accommodate requests. I can not recommend Sail Croatia's cycle and sail trip enough! Its a great experience!

- Anonymous, 29/05/2023 11:49, Travelled Solo

The crew and people on the boat were lovely . I guess it can work either way when you are spending so long long in a boat with people but I was lucky . The tour guide was very friendly and inclusive and knowledgable and I was secretly a bit love struck by his intelligence and beauty! The activity leader was supportive of my inexperience on a bike and a lovely bloke . The food was plentiful ,tasty and I believe the cook presented us with regional dishes at times.. The boat was beautifully crafted . Had a simple authentic crafted look - not too modern or flashy . The bike riding was liberating , magical and I saw so so much wonderful scenery . The islands and towns are beautiful . I had an e-bike so at the age of 63 I still had the joy of riding without the feeling of being out of my comfort zone . A truly memorable experience . Hvala

- Ruth, 15/05/2023 02:18, Travelled Solo

The scenery was incredible , the tour host Andrej and Dora extremely knowledgable the Captain and bar staff Ivan and Duke were so welcoming , we had unseasonably good weather , the bikes provided were perfect , great job crew and hope your busy long season goes equally as well.

- Peter, 01/05/2023 09:33, Travelled Solo

The best way to explore Dalmatian coast is to sail between islands. Great meals served on board, great relaxed vibe and company of guides. A lot can be seen on each island cycling from point A to B, often with boat waiting at point B. Great evenings with good local wine and food. I loved that, meet some great people on this trip, got a lot of invites too. Very keen to try other routes with Sail Croatia!

- Maciej, 17/10/2022 13:31, Travelled Solo

Love the crew, love the places we stopped. The scenery, the beaches, the ship and the people are AMAZING!! This is my second time doing Sail Croatia. And I love it!! Definitely coming back next year.

- Kathy DeMarzo , 17/10/2022 06:56, Travelled Solo

The sailing route, cyling on the beautiful islands with likeminded people, great crew and guides, food was fabulous and the weather was very nice.

- Stuart , 10/10/2022 15:10, Travelled Solo

Amazing trip. The concept of living on a boat and cycling each day worked perfectly. Great boat, other passengers, fab guides and boat employees, island scenery beautiful. The BEST way to experience Croatia!

- Michael , 10/10/2022 04:17, Travelled Solo

The islands of Croatia were spectacular and the cycling while cruising on a boat gave me the perfect chance to explore them. Our guides Ivan and Mila were great. One had great knowledge of the local history while the other was one of the best lead cycle guides I've ever had.

- Marek, 13/09/2022 13:07, Travelled Solo

The holiday was a perfect mix between cycling & relaxing. The guides, Mila & Ivan, were very knowledgable about the areas we visited, and were super helpful throughout the whole trip. The boat crew were lovely too. I would definitely recommend the trip, and would not hesitate to do it again.

- Deb, 13/09/2022 13:06, Travelled Solo

Cruising and cycling must be the best way to see the Croatian islands. Made even better by my fellow shipmates, guides and crew. Cycling on a classic hybrid bike was very tough on a couple of days, with long 'Tour de France' type climbs. Unless you're used to such climbs and in good shape, opt for an e-bike (even though it's cheating!!). Food and accommodation were good, Ports stopped at were wonderful and varied with amazing restaurant options (especially Korcula, which is unmissable)

- John, 12/09/2022 16:50, Travelled Solo

This is a fantastic company- they looked after me very well & ensured I had a great trip with memories which will last forever

- Gill, 12/09/2022 04:51, Travelled Solo

My week on Milena - cycle cruise was so much fun! It was the correct mix of exercise to accompany the amount of food supplied to you on board! The islands and routes were all stunning and it’s amazing when all the guests get along! The guides were extremely knowledgeable and the barman - Antonio made the tastiest cocktails! I went alone and never felt not included or on the outer!

- Jamie , 24/08/2022 13:56, Travelled Solo

Crew, fellow travelers,weather, guides! I had a wonderful experience with your company lead tour! The guides Julie and Dora were great! Very personable and knowledgeable of all aspects of this trip. Cudos to them! They made the trip memorable There wasn’t as much cycling as I had thought there would be, but with the high temps this week it was fine as it was. We did get shorted one day because the boat had to move earlier than planned. The food was good! Breakfasts perfect combination. Lunches too heavy for this activity. Captains dinner was great! I am spreading the word on how much I enjoyed this. Steve Williams

So many incredible things about thos week with bikes and boat in Croatia. The scenery was a new paradise around every corner. The organisation of the bpatvtop notch. The crew excellent. Our guides on the bike Ivan and Hrvoje just the best bastards you could possibly have. The accommodation and boat superb and the chef pilot on excellent food

Fabulous guide, A brilliant way get out and explore the beautiful Croatian Islands. The ebike made it all a pleasure even in the hills and even in the heat. The crew were great and the other passengers friendly

- Michelle, 20/06/2022 07:46, Travelled Solo

The trip in May 2022 was fantastic. The ship is great, the meals wonderful, the biking was interesting and neither overchallenging or underchallenging. The island sites for riding were beautiful and the roads used were mostly without cars. For our bike holiday from May 21 to 28, 2022m the weather was terrific. We had one high wind crossing but mostly flat calm seas. The people in our bike group were lovely, kind and mutually supportive. I would recommend Sail Croatia for others to consider if you want to have an active holiday in Croatia, a very beautiful country.

- Stephen Beerman, 30/05/2022 02:14, Travelled Solo

Staff on board is A+++, and the food, was exceptional, along with the wine choices. The rooms are quite nice, and the envy of other cruises we met along the way. I would suggest for a group of 24 cyclists, that 2 guides are not enough. Plus on a short incline to reach a busy road, we should have pushed our bikes up. Instead, many cyclists fell back, and pushed me into the bramble. Serious injury had i landed on the road rather than the bushes!!! Xrays to come shortly.

- Gerry, 28/05/2022 12:28, Travelled Solo

A very friendly crew and captain on board a lovely boat that has charm and character. Good nourishing meals helped us prepare for our daily rides and a filling 3 course lunch upon return never failed to disappoint.

- Graham, 17/05/2022 10:06, Travelled Solo

Company, crew, food, croatia, boat, sun organisation. All 5 star

- Iain MacAulay , 16/05/2022 07:29, Travelled Solo

The staff, the boat, the islands, the country and the sites to see!

- George , 09/11/2021 13:08, Travelled Solo

Loved every moment of this adventure. The history, the cycling, the views, the challenges but mostly the crew and the cycling guides. H and Marin were the best and meeting a bunch of wonderful folks for all around. New friends, new adventures and a great way to see several of the over 1000 islands. Off on another day of solo cycling adventure on the mainland. Go for it you won't be disappointed.

- Jeff, 25/10/2021 05:32, Travelled Solo
