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!

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.

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.
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.

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.

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 :)
