Great way to see the Islands of Crotia

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!

Flotilla

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!

Great week but felt like I was sold a different experience

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.

The most incredible week

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!

SailCroatia Flotilla Week - June

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!!

Great time, was hoping for more though

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)

The best week of my life

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!

Best week ever

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.

Greatest experience of my life.

Skipper Ante was absolutely incredible. Croatia is amazing and he made the whole week perfect.

A holiday to remember!

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.

It was a great way to relax and see Dalmatian islands

Awesome week away

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.

Hi Lima, thank you for your 5 star review of your Tour on board Incognito!

A week to remember

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.

Ein perfekter Urlaub für Alleinreisende

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!! :-)

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.

Best week ever!

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!

Phenomenal experience

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!

Best Trip of My LIfe

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!

Most incredible week!

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!

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!

Under 35's week great social vs exploring balance

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!

What a 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!

U35s August 2018

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

Unforgettable A+ week

I had such a brilliant week with our group of 6 and captain Duje. The crew went out of their way to ensure we had the best possible experience - magical swim spots, beautiful meals and a great group of people in our flotilla. I highly recommend the yachts too - they're clean, and more intimate than the bigger boats allowing for the opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers really well.
