Sail Croatia Arvostelua 103

My wife and I experienced our first trip to Croatia aboard the Mali Ante on the Split Southern Return voyage along with 30 of our friends. The ship's crew were amazong. Ivan, Mario, Ilea, and Captain Ivica. were all so friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. (If you like a good cocktail, be sure to order the Mario Special.) Chef Ivica and sous chef Antonio prepared delicious food, including traditional Croatian cuisine for the Captain's dinner, hearty lunches for post-cycling recovery, and breakfasts that fueled us up for our rides.

Speaking of the rides, I can't say enough good things about our guides, Tonka and Sanja. Every morning they would give us a detailed briefing about the day's journey; the length, difficulty, water stops, road conditions, etc. Tonka's humor put even the inexperienced cyclists at ease, and Sanja was so informative with her stories about the islands and the towns we rode through.

We are already planning a return to beautiful Croatia.

Puno hvala!

We sailed from Dubrovnik to Split on the Afrodita with Sasa as our guide. Sasa made the trip so memorable and overall the best travel experience ever! He was so friendly and accommodating during the trip and looked out for our group throughout the duration. I’m very impressed with his service.

Unforgettable family experience. The captain showed us the beauty of Croatia with a great itinerary - a perfect mix of secluded coves, amazing towns, and great sailing. The boat was spotless and comfortable.

The staff on the boat were delightful, enthusiastic, helpful, informative and efficient. The boat swim stops were at phenomenal places, the Island visits were spectacular and the tours were fun and informative, the shopping was awesome, the food and local wines were full of variety and flavor. A five star recommendation for this cruise.

We loved our trip on The Olimp. We made new friends from across the world, had excellent daily swim stops in quiet coves - getting on and off for those stops was made easy by a platform which lowers into the sea (no nasty ladders)
The crew of 9 were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. They had an excellent grasp of English too. The holiday was effortless because of them.
Breakfast at 8-9am in the restaurant daily, followed by a daily briefing at 9.
Swim stops were about 2-3 hours after breakfast. Coffee, cake and fruit was available after 11am. A 3 course lunch was 1-2pm, after which we landed at our destination and the day/night was our own til 5am.
On ship bar closed at 12 midnight.
It all worked wonderfully. Our host Ivan was fabulous.
Some stops had free walking tours, others had bookable excursions the day before. The Captains dinner and village meal were both excellent and included
We had daily advice on local wines and restaurants.
I highly recommend this cruise.

The cruise surpassed our expectations. The Katarina is a modern and comfortable boat and the itinerary was very well thought out giving plenty options for excursions. It was also possible to set your own pace with daily swim stops and relaxing on deck. We loved the welcoming Captain Ivan and his team. A special mention must go to our tour operators Mia who really went the extra mile to make sure everything ran like clockwork and we were well informed about Croatia. A very memorable week! Thank you Sail Croatia.

I was with a friend on the tour in a small group of 10 people and we had the best time sailing around the Dalmatian coastline and seeing the beautiful towns and islands of Croatia! Our skippers Matea and Dino made us feel so welcome in their space and joined in the party vibe which made the tour so much more fun! One week on the boats and such great memories and many more friends! Only a couple lost items along the way.

Fun! We had a fabulous crew and wonderful group of guests. Everyone really bonded and had lots of great conversations and fun times together!

We were on the Salve di Mare in June, We had an absolute blast with Klara and the entire crew! Communication was great, the excursions were a bunch of fun. The boat was spotless and so relaxing. Would highly recommend.

Had the most incredible week with Explorer Sail Croatia, made even better by our amazing guide, Callum. From day one, he made the experience feel personal and unforgettable. He struck the perfect balance between fun and chill, tailoring recommendations to suit everyone – whether you wanted to party, explore, or just relax.

Callum’s local knowledge, energy, and attention to detail truly set the tone for the whole trip. He created a great vibe, made sure everyone felt included, and took us to some unforgettable spots we never would’ve found on our own.

It felt more like travelling with a good friend than being on a tour. Highly recommend – and if you get Callum as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!

The trip was great, Croatia was great and our skipper, Igor , was incredible. I was wondering how everything was going to work out with me and my four family members and a stranger but by the end Igor was one of the family.
Don't let him get away.

This was a trip of a lifetime for our family and was beyond our expectations. The Morpheus was an amazing vessel with plenty of room.

What really made the trip was the crew. Kristijan, our skipper, was fantastic. He took great care of us and the boat. He provided an exciting itinerary with a great route, along with suggestions of sights to see, Kristijan also arranged amazing meals and excursions, which allowed us to experience a more local side of the islands we visited. He personalized our experience and was a very fun and knowledgeable.

Dora, our hostess, was the icing on the cake. She took such great care of us on this trip. Our meals were beyond expectations, often even better than the great meals we ate at restaurants on the islands. She made sure we had plenty of everything we wanted....snacks, cocktails, you name it. Dora also offered many great suggestions that helped enhance the island experiences!

Dream boat and dream team.

This trip was the best holiday I've had in decades. The ship, the crew, the food (OMG, the food!) - and my fellow passengers all made for an incredible time onboard the Queen Jelena!

Where do I even begin? This past week was hands down the best of my life.

The crew on Tvrdi were nothing short of exceptional — incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely involved in everything we did. Their energy and friendliness made the whole experience feel effortless. Smooth sailing, quite literally!

A special shoutout to Cal, the best rep I’ve ever had on any tour. Thoughtful, resourceful, approachable, and just an all-around legend. It’s hard to sum up how much he brought to the trip — he truly made it unforgettable.

With an amazing boat, a phenomenal crew, the best rep in the world, and lifelong friendships made along the way, this week was everything I hoped for and more.

We signed boarded the Romantic Star at the "Elegance" level, which is a more mature level of passengers. The bost was beautiful, the staff extremely accommodating, the ports, incredible.

Sailed on the boat Katarina which was an amazing boat and my wife kept comparing the experience to 'Below Deck'!. Mia was great and really kept us informed and very helpful. Crew were friendly and the food was amazing. Great locations too and Croatia really is beautiful. Thanks Sale Croatia!

We were expecting to have a wonderful time because it’s a sailboat in Croatia. What could be better? But our trip went from wonderful to magical with our skipper, Bruno. He took the time to get to know our family so he could tailor the perfect itinerary for us. His knowledge of the islands, understanding of the weather, sailing/boating experience, and warm, friendly personality created an experience beyond our expectations. Bruno was the perfect mix of professional and personal, and our whole family enjoyed spending time with him. He took us to places well off the beaten path, guided us to many incredible landmarks, took us to extraordinary restaurants, and buoyed or anchored us in pristine, secluded coves. We will miss Bruno as much as we will miss beautiful Croatia! We can’t wait to share our experience with friends and family. We also can’t wait to come back and do it again! It was the best week of our lives! Highest recommendations possible.

While we were excited to go on our Sail Croatia trip, we didn't really know what to expect. We could never have imaged such a great week! Not only were we blessed with beautiful weather, but we had the most amazing group of people on our trip, all of whom we now consider friends. Everyone bonded and we had so much fun together! Ioanna, our cruise manager, could not have been better - she was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. Ema and Pamela (bartenders and hostesses) went above and beyond, always with a smile. The food on board was amongst the best we had on our whole trip - outstanding chef who turned out top class meals in a tiny kitchen. Ella worked hard behind the scenes to make sure our cabin was spotless each morning, and the "sailors" always had a cloth in hand, cleaning the ship as they walked around. Our boat was beautiful - more classic and classy than some of the more glitzy boats. If I could give my review more than 5 stars I would!

Brilliant crew and cycle guides
Good bikes
Nice balance between cycling and other activities
Swim stop every day at least once a day
Excellent food
Nice company
Smooth check in
Crew could not be more helpful.

To unpack your suitcase once while experiencing a new island everyday is a highlight! The Crew were very friendly & helpful, our Tour Guide was super helpful & flexible. When we asked Ana to organise a traditional Croatia Peka dinner on our last night in Dubrovnik, it was no trouble to her at all... and the experiencing was the best!
Other passengers were wonderful & fun to spend time with.
We have been recommending this cruise to our friends & families.
