A Wonderful Relaxing Experience!

Miranda, Tonka, Ivica x 2, Ilija, Ivan, Miro, Mate. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We had the most interaction with our guides Miranda and Tonka and with our server Miro...they were so wonderful. There was nothing they would not do for us...rolled with the punches...gave us everything we needed...and more! The cabins were a good size, lots of storage and lots of hot water. The itinerary was perfect and we got to see lots of places both on and on the bikes. We had some travel problems but not one issue while on the cruise. Loved it!

An Amazing Vacation

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

Location, location, and people

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!

Great Trip

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.

So well organised and great service from all the team throughout the trip.

bike trip

I have done a lot of travelling. This is one of the best trips I have ever been on. The boat, staff, food and staff were excellent. The key to the trip was Ivan and Lucy as group leaders. They did an excellent job and worked together very well. It was obvious that they had spent considerable time the previous evening organizing events for the following day. They were always very upbeat and made a point of socializing with us during. Ivan was a great bike leader. He ensured our rides were as safe as possible. He was very helpful when people had trouble with their bikes. He was a good first aider when there were minor injuries (the accidents were not his fault). He organized a special trip at the request of one of our group. Lucy did a very good job with presentations during our various rides. She also ensured that everything was done safely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with intermediate biking skills, as long as the group leaders were Ivan and Lucy.

Sylvia C

Excellent manager Ana, cycle guide Dora and crew. They couldn't have been more helpful. Itinerary promptly and smoothly rearranged if necessary according to circumstances eg weather. Definitely recommend this trip with Sail Croatia.

Fantastic Cycling Cruise

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

Excellent trip!

I throughly enjoyed my sail and cycling tour. The cycling leaders (Maria and Jay) and crew staff were wonderful. They kept us all safe and comfortable on the cycling routes and on the ship. They were there for us to make recommendations for our free time. I will highly recommend Sail Croatia to friends and family!

Great week onboard Emanuel with Sail Croatia

A well organised week with a lovely boat and great crew. Our cabin was clean and tidy and the food was plentiful. Rides were challenging and well organised. We spent time with friends and met plenty of new ones. A great bunch of people onboard.

- Mike, 17/10/2024 07:46, Travelled in a Couple

Beautiful

The boat was handsome and comfortable. The food was delicious. The crew was responsive and funny and kind. And the islands were a sight to behold.

Best Vacation Ever!

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

Fantastic 7 Days

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

The guides and crew members, lead by Lujica and Ivan, we professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We would recommend Sail Croatia to our friends !

Fantastic experience!

We had a fabulous time meeting people from several countries. The Princess Diana was clean and comfortable and the guides and crew were friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The daily schedule allowed for cycling, exploring the towns and either relaxing or swimming. There was plenty to eat and the food was well prepared and quite good overall. We learned about Croatian history, customs and culture from our extremely knowledgeable guides who made us feel that we were welcome guests in their country. The e-bike s were good quality and easy to get used to. I would recommend this tour to anyone at a reasonable level of fitness. Some rides were strenuous, but well worth the effort. Bravo Sail Croatia, well done!!

Dubrovnik-Split Bike and Sail

Marin and Mila were great guides on all of the rides. The food was very good, and the captain and crew did a great job. I would very much look forward to going on a future bike and sail cruise.

- Brendan, 15/10/2024 19:15, Travelled with Family

Absolutely Brilliant Holiday!

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!

- Vicky, 15/10/2024 19:14, Travelled Solo

A great way to experience Croatia.

Good itinerary Well maintained boat with good captain and crew Great bikes, rides and support crew.

Fun, Active Holiday

Enjoyed the cycling and swimming as well as the company of the other clients. We developed a real comraderie along with our two amazing guides and crew. There was much fun and laughter despite a very professional approach by the crew. Both guides had excellent knowledge of the islands and Croatia, making for some very interesting talks and discussions. Sailing gave an interesting and varied overview of the country. Advise bringing sand shoes for stony beaches

Exceeded my adventure touring expectations!

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!

Sail on Mali Kuka

All the people on board, especially Ivica and Anita made this trip a memorable one. There was nothing that they could not find solutions for. Ivica and Anita you are the best

- Kristján, 14/10/2024 08:19, Travelled in a Couple

Bikes and boats - the perfect combination.

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.

- Richard, 14/10/2024 08:06, Travelled with Friend/s

Worry free adventure and fun

Ivica and Anita are what makes Croatia great! Warm Welcomes, Safe and on schedule planning. Informed and endearing. You will enjoy the rides but we think you will love the people even more. Excellent communication throughout the trip, including when plans needed to pivot for our best enjoyment. Interested in feedback I can only imagine each year trips with them will get better and better. They are pros.

- Chris, 14/10/2024 07:49, Travelled in a Couple

Bike Sail

Great trip! Ivica was amazing with his bike plans. Able to pivot when bad weather threatened. And zero injuries. Very impressive. Ivica is very attentive to everyone’s needs. Anita was so knowledgeable about every place we went to. She knew little things, like toilets. And her eating recommendations were much appreciated. She has such a good nature and was fun to dance with.

Sail Croatia Bike Cruise

On board crew were outstanding, nothing was a problem, they delivered a very thorough and professional service and looked after us very well :) Andre and Lola were amazing and provided us with some great riding routes and shared their local knowledge with us. Our cruising group were also amazing and compatible which made trip even more enjoyable. Boat was comfortable and very clean. Definitely recommend this cruising option to see sites of Croatia.

- Sarah, 14/10/2024 07:32, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent excursion with these fine and knowledgeable people!

From day one, it was evident that both Anita and Evica have a passion for sharing their country and its history with everyone. Their attention to safety and the well being of everyone was ever present on each bike ride. . They were so patient and kind, making sure the varying degrees of ridership were comfortable with each ride. A very detailed pre-briefing of every ride was given the day before and via WhatsApp. I highly recommend both Anita and Evica!!!

- Lesley, 14/10/2024 06:42, Travelled in a Couple

Brilliant bike and boat combo

Small group, great atmosphere , very good easy to ride well balanced e bikes. Stunning scenery, just the right amount of challenge and above all 2 fantastic guides. I do not cycle but am fit and love being outside and exploring and the e bikes made it so easy . The terrain is hilly but 35 to 50k per day was no problem even for someone who never rides a bike. All the harbours we moored in on the Split to Split southern route were wonderful. So much to explore . We travelled second week October and had great weather, Sea warm enough for daily swims. Totally recommend .

One happy cyclist

The whole setup was just what I hoped Accommodation was comfortable/worked well The crew could not have been more helpful Both the Team leaders were clearly very experienced. They were delightful people to deal with always a watchful eye on our safety, and being flexible and adaptable I have been very impressed with Sail Croatia and I’ll be back (Different route next time !)

Your bucket list to tick off - Sail Cycle Croatia! 😊

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. Do yourself a favour - book a Sail-Cycle Croatia tour for some unforgetable experiences.🌞✨️❤️ Dugald & Julie

First trip to Croatia

Our guides were outstanding! They made me feel safe, comfortable, and heard. All questions were answered thoughtfully, and they projected a sense of fun and adventure. This was my first “group “ travel experience and I was pleasantly surprised each day at how well Marija and Josko managed 30 diverse guests! 5 stars for sure.

- Christy, 11/10/2024 09:54, Travelled in a Couple

So much fun!

The trip was exactly what I was hoping for! Very well organized; Ivan and Lucija looked after every detail, always with smiles and laughs. Croatia is beautiful and the roads we were cycling on were not too busy. We had the perfect amount of down time, time for swimming in the clear blue Adriatic Sea, time for exploring each island and time to get to know the other passengers. Thank you!

Croatia bike trip

It was such a great group of people on this trip. We met people from all over the world. The boat and bike trip was fantastic. Ivan and Lucy were great guides. I really can’t say enough about them. Thank you both for educating us on the different cultures we had the privilege of experiencing. We were fortunate to have such a great crew. I will never forget this trip. Thank you all for such great memories.

Sail & Bike Island hopping

A great adventure with a great on board crew and cycle leaders. Cycling was challenging and scenery was fantastic. A couple of small things that could have made the trip even better. Cabins - they are small as expected and it would have helped to have lots of hooks on the walls to hang clothing on. Shower curtains were too short which meant there was water all over the bathroom floor after showering. Biking - My wife's bike broke down twice and there did not seem to be a good backup plan in place for replacement or repair while out cycling. The group was split up once and half the group went the wrong direction at an intersection. Still a great trip and it deserves a 5 star rating.

- Larry, 08/10/2024 16:52, Travelled with Friend/s

Memorable

The crew was fantastic, the people that were guests were amazing, and the planning that went into making it all happen was incredible! We felt that the tour was very thoughtful and it made the most of what the weather and the islands had to offer. We have done the Sail Croatia tour once before seven years previous to this trip. We felt just as good about it and that is why we returned.

Sail Croatia Sep/Oct 2024

My first time with Sail Croatia and the experience was five star.. Our guides Mila and Marin were excellent. Marin gave clear briefings and described exactly how the rides would be and ensured the safety of all members of the group at all times. Mila showed an excellent knowledge of the areas we were visiting and gave us great information on WhatsApp about options and places to visit when we were onshore. The onboard crew were friendly and helpful, Nino and Nicoletta service at the bar and during meals was excellent, while the kitchen and sailing crew were very good and went about their business with the highest level of professionalism. Captain Marte made us feel that we were in good hands and safety, even when the weather got a bit rough. A first class expereince and fully recommended

Split to Dubrovnik 25/9 - 2/10

The boat was lovely (bigger than another one I went on with another company), and the crew were excellent. The guides Ivan and Lucija, made it fun and interesting, and went above and beyond to ensure we had good things to do even when we to change the itinerary due to weather. The kitchen and boat crew were also fun, professional and helpful.

Passenger

The whole operation was so well organized and all of the staff were excellent and accommodating. Curtis who got me started on the booking was super responsive which is rare anymore. Lucia and Ivan were our guides and they were so informative, kind and made it so fun they were exceptional. Lucia the bartender, salon staff was so patient and always had a smile. I can’t say enough about the staff that you employ and experience that was created for all of us. Thank you!

Amazing!

This adventure was by far the best that we have done to date! The Captain and crew of the Eos, were incredibly professional and made sure that our travel and docking situations were very safe! Our guides, Ivan and Lucija were so much fun and arranged for some wonderful extras on this trip as well as ensuring our safety on the road and off. Lucija shared her knowlwdge about the history and culture of several of the areas we visited. through many stories and facts. A very enjoyable trip!!

Seeing and feeling Croatia at its best

The sailing and bike riding experience onboard Aphrodite was so enjoyable. By combining exercise and rest together I felt like I had a real holiday. The boat crew were all very friendly and made my trip very pleasant. The food was tasty and presented with flair. My room was comfortable and cosy. The bike manager was professional and always provided us with terrific routes through the islands. Our Tour guide was knowledgeable and kept our interest at all times.

- Kerrie, 07/10/2024 19:54, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic Experience!!

Sail Croatia exceeded my expectations for a fun, relaxing, engaging and all around great experience in the Dalmatian islands. The crew was exceptional and attentive, serving up scenic bike tours, a ship with comfortable & clean accommodations, delicious meals, excellent restaurant & wine tasting suggestions, and a lighthearted atmosphere to make new friends with the other guests. The e-bikes were in mint condition and our guide, Marin, made sure the rides were scenic, fun, safe and added historical background for those interested. Our tour coordinator, Mila, was a delight, attentive to our needs and had great local knowledge & contacts. I couldn’t offer a higher recommendation for this trip!!

Fabulous Holiday

As ever people make great times, Ivica and Andro were our bike leaders and did a great job. Thier organisation and communication was superb and made our cycling soooooo enjoyable. The rest of the people on the cruise, we’re such great company also. The Croatian Islands are so beautiful with amazing swimming, food and sunshine. We had great food on board as well. It was a very special and memorable holiday.

Great bike and sail on Afrodita

My husband and I had a great time on the bike and sail cruise. The biking was fantastic we logged a lot of kms each day and saw a lot of countryside. The bike guides, Ivitca and Andro were the best. The meals onboard were fantastic and Andrj did an excellent job of serving and bartending. The only negative comment I have is the below deck rooms are a bit smelly and need a form of ventilation. Thanks for the great time and we will definitely recommend this trip to others.

Another fabulous trip

After our Sail Croatia trip in 2023 I didn’t think this year’s could be any better. I was wrong!! The level of experience of Marin our lead on our bike rides and Ilona as our “caboose” made for a very well thought out, informative, safe and enjoyable day. The information shared was interesting and I felt that I gained an understanding of Croatian culture and history. Ilona planned dinners and excursion to a winery. Great that the places she chose were able to accommodate separate checks. Dinner and dessert recommendations were spot on. We took her up on a few.. Mario (aka Super Mario) welcomed us as repeat visitors as did our amazing Manager Ivan. It was a pleasure to meet his son Ilija, another great addition to the team. Our ship’s captain and our chef both shared the same name Ivica. Our captain was terrific and I felt confident that our safety was a priority, Chef- no words-only praise. His assistant Mate? did great too! The meals were the culinary highlight of our trip.
