It was relaxing, it was fun, it was adventurous, it was everything you wanted! Worth every penny. Croatia is absolutely stunning and sailing the seas of Croatia is incredible. Mario the skipper is the man and looked after us so well, lots of love!

Our skipper Mario was THE BEST. The experience was like no other, the islands were beautiful but our skipper really made the experience. We definitely want to come back!

I really enjoyed my week sailing with sail Croatia. I went mid-september so unfortunately we were hit with some rainy weather but we had some sunny days and made the most of it. I got along well with the other travelers and our group leader was nice and answered our questions when we had them. The cabins were small but this was to be expected on a sailing boat, we all got pretty close sharing the same space for a week. The included breakfast was good and the supplies on board were just enough to make basic food. I would recommend this company to friends looking to have a good time, make new friends and go on adventures.

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!

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!

What an amazing adventure we got to visit so many beautiful places and have some epic nights out plus our skipper mario was awesome would definitely recommend this trip to anyone thinking about it!!

We had such an amazing week on Flotilla with Mario as our skipper. He was skilled, funny, filled us in on what to do and where to go and would provide us with an itinerary of each day the night before. We even had a hectic storm and felt super safe under his care. We were pretty rowdy and he never complained or got mad at us. We had the best time island hopping and partying and Mario was definitely one of the reasons for that! Sailing was such an amazing experience and I would love to come back again.

We had an amazing time last week with Sail Croatia and skipper Hannah who did a fantastic job leading the way and showing us the ropes. Flotilla Week was a great way to meet other like-minded travelers. Would definitely go again!
- Jack Holmes, 27/08/2024 12:53,
The trip was expertly planned out and allowed us to fully indulge in a true island hopping experience. This experience was amplified by our fantastic team of skippers, especially our personal skipper Andres. His expert knowledge of every place we went, recommendations of local cuisine and experiences to get involved in and his warm, accomodating nature made for a fantastic week of sailing with friends, both old and new alike. Overall, this week far exceeded my expectations of an island hopping yacht week and I plan to return for another week in the future!

Sail Croatia was recommended to me by someone who had been previously. They spoke of how much fun it was and the friends you could make. I went into it expecting as such but was blown away by the whole trip. I couldn't recommend it more. From the nights out and the excellent food, to the picturesque swim spots and beautiful weather. It was a perfect week. Made better only by our captain Andres. He was well organised and went above and beyond to ensure it was smooth sailing. Giving us a decent breakfast every morning, giving us excellent recommendations for food and sights, having the answer to our every question, and just being an all around great guy/friend. I would like to thank the whole skipper team (Nevis, Bruno, Deano, and Mario) along with Andres for making the trip a once in a lifetime journey. I would do it all over again 1000 times.

We enjoyed every second of flotilla week! Our group had 4 boats all with 7-8 guests on board. Ages ranged from 18 to 30-something (majority were around 25), and we were pretty much 50/50 on boys vs. girls. There was also a good mix of friends, couples and solo travelers. The nice thing about the flotilla set up is that you can bring your own food and beverages on board. We were able to restock everyday, if needed. This also lent itself to a nice mix of evening activities - some night we just chilled & drank on the boat and other nights we went out in town. Our skipper Hannah was awesome! We felt very safe & take care of while on board. In short, 10/10 - we’re already thinking about planning a Sail Croatia trip next summer.
- Allie, 26/08/2024 07:41,
I enjoyed beautiful Croatia with a group of strangers on the tour with Sail Croatia Apart of my bunk bed (sweat box torture) I loved it all!
- Dmitry , 19/08/2024 19:18,
It was a fantastic opportunity to see all the amazing things the country of Croatia has to offer. The experiences and locations really blew me away! It’s something I wouldn’t hesitate to do again.
- Oskar , 19/08/2024 06:58, Travelled with Friend/s
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.

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!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week aboard the night sky. Sailing is the way to experience this beautiful country. So many beautiful islands, beaches, coves, and bays. Bruno was an excellent skipper with awesome recommendations at every stop. We enjoyed wonderful company onboard and made great memories,

Ante made our trip great, he always had recommendations for what to do and that made the trip easy and stress free.

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!!
- Hannah , 29/06/2024 19:33, Travelled Solo
What a WONDERFUL experience!! I traveled with Sail Croatia for the first time in June 1024. We had a group of 8 girls (all friends) and rented the Flotilla. There were two other Flotillas traveling with us as well. The Sail Croatia skippers were phenomenal!!! Simona led our trip and she was so knowledgeable, simply the sweetest! We quickly all became friends and had the best time traveling Croatia with her and expect her to come visit us soon in the US :) Ivan and Ante were skippers for the other Flotillas and they were simply phenomenal as well. What a fantastic trip, we will surely be back to visit our Sail Croatia friends one day!
- Jessica, 26/06/2024 15:36, Travelled with Friend/s
My friends and I just got back from our Flotilla week and we absolutely loved it! Our skipper Simona (Sim) was AMAZING!! She did everything she could to ensure we had an incredible trip.. also special shoutout to Ivan as he was so kind & helpful to us as well!! We had plenty of space on the boat and saw so many beautiful islands and amazing swim stops. Would love to do it all again & highly recommend for a group of friends!!
- Lexi, 26/06/2024 14:14, Travelled with Friend/s
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)

Ante the Captain, swim spots, the islands, the team
- Danielle, 18/10/2023 09:41, Travelled in a Couple
Our skipper Linda was incredible - not only was she extremely knowledgeable with our boat but also about each island we stopped at, providing recommendations for activities, restaurants, and bars. She was a delight to hang out with and also made sure we had breakfast foods and knew the plan for each day. We had a blast exploring croatia and look forward to being able to return!

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.
- Mark, 15/08/2023 18:07, Travelled Solo
Loved this trip ! Ante, our skipper was incredible. Very professional, he went that extra mile in every situation to make us feel comfortable and safe, recommending us places to visit, restaurants, points of interest and even teaching us how to sail. Would recommend it every time.

The crew we had were so good! Made friends for life! And our skipper Sim, she was actually the best! Made sure we all had the best time! My partner and I were in our 30’s and were a bit hesitant about going on but that all changed once we were on the yaught! Best week ever!

Ivan P., our skipper was absolutely excellent and worked incredibly hard. He acted as the skipper, on board rep, cook (skipper’s lunch), repairman, etc. I have traveled Sail Croatia before in 2018 on a young professional’s boat (~40 guests). Ivan had the job of all of those people. Of course the 2018 boat was a large boat so I was disappointed in the accommodations of this boat. Perhaps I didn’t read the fine print when I booked this trip but having to share a smelly bathroom, rooms one could not completely stand up in, etc….I would not recommend this boat/small yacht style of travel to anyone and will only recommend Sail Croatia for their Elegance cruises and Young Professional Cruises.
- Michele , 01/08/2022 05:50,
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.

Had such a great week with sail Croatia. The locations were incredible to visit/stay. I would recommend doing this trip to anyone looking for a good balance between partying and exploring. Our skipper ‘Linda’ was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy. Could not recommend her enough. We loved her. Thanks for some amazing memories. Hopefully get to do it again soon.

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.
- Rebecca , 26/07/2022 07:00, Travelled Solo
We had a great time sailing through Croatia. Our skipper Max was incredible. He was super friendly and our group thoroughly enjoyed his company, expertise and professionalism. The only thing our group wished we had more control over was the itinerary. We would have loved to have more time on the Islands. Other then that everything was great!

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!! :-)
- Lara, 05/10/2021 07:59, Travelled Solo
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.
Häufig bin ich im Urlaub, hab eine nice Zeit und dann Bilder, die nach Bearbeitung nicer aussehen, als der Urlaub tatsächlich war. Der Trip mit Sail Croatia war anders, es war einfach so episch, dass ich das Gefühl habe, dass weder Worte noch Bilder die Menge an Spaß, Lachern, Freundschaft, Gelerntem, Abenteuern, gutem Essen und Picture-Perfect-Moments & Sunsets ausreichend beschreiben könnten. Daher lasse ich einfach Maximum Sterne da. Unser Skipper Scot kannte alle guten Spots, die schönsten Buchten, besten Restaurants und hat nebenher noch Segeln beigebracht. Wir sind super viel gesegelt und hatten eine so vollgepackte Woche mit Erfahrungen wie schon lange nicht mehr. Die anderen aus der Crew und Scot sind mir alle während der Zeit ans Herz gewachsen, hätte mir keine bessere Crew wünschen können! PS: Scot ist Borat-Fan, also falls ihr bei ihm segelt, startet mit einem schönen "Veeery naaaaice" und ihr redet den ganzen Urlaub nicht mehr anders :-D

Ich war mit zwei Freunden plus drei zusätzlichen Leuten zuzüglich Skipper auf der Segelyacht. Insgesamt zwei Frauen und fünf Männer. Aus Fremden wurden rasch gute Freunde. Das Leben auf dem Boot war gar nicht so unkomfortabel wie gedacht. Sauberkeit und Zustand waren außerordentlich gut. Wir haben fast alles zusammen gemacht und gemeinsam viele tolle Momente erlebt. Dieses von Ort zu Ort segeln, dabei der eine schöner als der andere, mit Schwimmstopps in malerischen Buchten war einfach unbeschreiblich toll!

This was seriously such a good trip and I have been recommending it to everyone. Sail Croatia is a very professional and organised company. Honesty the best holiday we have been on. We went in the shoulder season with a group of 4 (2 couples) and sailed with another boat, so there was 16 of us all up. There's showers and toilets at some of the marinas you dock at so you can use those facilities which was an added bonus. Of course, the showers and toilets on the boat are fine too. Our skipper was awesome and so accommodating. The way they plan the trip and can be flexible is great because they managed to find nice calm spots for us to dock for swimming and sleeping. Amazing trip! Highly recommended

Thank you for your review Samara! Amazing - so good to hear you had the best time and we are so honoured to know this was your favourite holiday to date, thank you! We aim to provide our guests with a good balance of land vs sea, so to know you found this worked perfectly is an added bonus. We would love to see you in the future Samara.
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!

G'day, My friend Disco Dave and I did a U39's tour aboard Dubi skippered by Ana. It was absolutely unbelievable, the itinerary was perfect and our crew had great banter. Ana was the powerhouse of our boat, making sure we had everything we needed, she's an absolute legend and an expert skipper. 10/10 we willl be back.
