    Wow - what a magical week that was. I had never been to Croatia and it's been on the list for some time, and let me tell you that doing so with Koda Sail is highly recommended. We had the pleasure of Chris being our guide for the week, who was so knowledgeable and he set up the most perfect week. We boarded in Dubrovnik, and stopped along the Dalmatian Coast daily for the week, ending in Split. The sites, activities and company was second to none. I was a little hesitant about doing a sail in Croatia, as I thought I had surely outgrown it being in my mid-30s, but Koda Sail caters for likeminded professionals, and had the perfect mix of site-seeing, relaxation and party party. I've made lifelong friends from the week, and am in abundance of beautiful memories. Also a special shout out to the wonderful family who own / operate the boat, who kept us fed and watered and looked after us for the week. If you are thinking about booking, this is your sign to just do it. You will have zero regrets. Take me backkkk!

    I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a sailing adventure along the stunning Croatian coastline with Koda Sail onboard Casanova, and it was an experience beyond my wildest expectations. From the moment we boarded, we were greeted with warm smiles and unparalleled hospitality, setting the tone for an unforgettable journey. Our rep, Chris, was an absolute gem from the very first online enquiry, all through booking, and whilst onboard. His knowledge of the local areas, combined with his enthusiasm and genuine passion for what he does, made the trip both educational and exciting. Chris went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and catered to, creating a friendly and inclusive atmosphere on board. His recommendations for onshore activities and dining were spot on, enhancing our overall experience. The staff of Casanova were equally exceptional with their dedication to providing top-notch service including exceptional bar service, immaculate cleanliness of the cabins, the exquisite meals prepared by locals and superb guidance from the captain. Diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, exploring charming islands and historic sites, plus zip-lining above the the trees, was nothing short of magical. Each stop offered a unique glimpse into Croatia's rich culture and breathtaking natural beauty. I wholeheartedly recommend Koda Sail for anyone looking to experience the best of Croatia by sea. A huge thank you to Chris and the entire crew for making this trip a dream come true. I can't wait to sail with them again!

    Possible one of the greatest weeks I’ve ever spent abroad! Chris was the host for us this week though Croatia and every single recommendation he gave us was a 10/10. Highlights were the national park, zip lining & all the swimming stops along the way in the crystal clear waters. Could not recommend this Croatian Sail enough. If you’re looking for a week with young professionals and want a mix of chill & party, this is the tour for you!! Have made some lifelong friends in such a short amount of time! Thank you Koda Sail 🩵

    Koda Sails did a fantastic job of organizing a well run tour of the Dalmatian Coast. Prior to the trip, Chris was great about answering questions promptly to address anything that popped in my head before I set sail. We had an amazing group of people that made the week fun and entertaining. There were plenty of swim stops and free time in the ports but everyone had the most fun doing the group activities since we got along so well! As a solo traveler, I would definitely recommend this tour to all of my friends. There were also a few couples on board that ended up really enjoying the social aspect of meeting fellow young professionals for the week! No one cared if they went on their own for dinner a few nights. Yes, you could stay in Split and take the public ferries to the different islands, but I met some amazing people and didn't have to worry about the week's itinerary (It is also nice to be able to keep your suitcase in one spot for the week!). Lucas Chesterton was a great guide and MC and kept us on schedule which is hard to do with 37 people. The crew kept us well-fed and were very entertaining especially Toni and Luka. They also can cater to any dietary needs if you have an allergy or dietary preference. The cabins had great air conditioning (this is coming from an American) and were rather spacious for being on a boat. They are very knowledgeable about Croatia and you go to places that the company knows and loves. I never would have gone to Makarska and it ended up being one of my favorite places that we visited! It definitely was not a party boat. For those that wanted to drink and go out to a bar or club after dinner, there definitely were options in the ports that were recommended if you wanted to go, but if you wanted to have a chill night and or holiday week and not drink that was totally kosher. All and all I would recommend this tour to a friend, so take the plunge and go to Croatia with Koda Sails, I promise that you won't be disappointed.

    After being recommended Koda Sail by a friend, I can definitely say it did not disappoint. What a brilliant week- from the home cooked meals, friendly and welcoming crew, spacious shower (one of the biggest we had in Croatia), large sundeck- the Casanova was an ideal home. Being ferried from island to island, with swim stops every day along the away- it was the perfect way to explore and not have to worry about getting to and from and lugging cases around. The trip was the perfect mix of chill and party- you could choose what suited you. If you weren’t up to party, relaxing with a quiet drink in port or on the back deck was a great alternative. The zip lining was a standout excursion. Lucas was an outstanding host- herding 37 adult cats isn’t an easy task, but he did it with ease, making sure everyone was included and catering to all requests. Thanks Koda Sail for a memorable trip around Croatia.

    Sail koda was one of the most memorable tours I have been on. Both Kris and Lucas went a above and beyond for the group and were always making sure we were making the most of our trip. The boat was immaculate and huge, the rooms were spacious twin beds (not bunks!). The family that tan the boat were fabulous and extremely friendly. Couldn’t recommend a better way to sail Croatia

    Rebecca

    Asked on July 1st, 2022

    Is this tour suitable for solo travelers? Is this tour suitable for quite travelers? I am not into much partying and I am not looking for a 20ish party boat. Sunsets with a drink and house music in the island are amazing, but I am looking for a quite boat with quite people where possible. Would I be sharing room with another solo traveler? The rooms have air con if I read correctly, right?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Koda SailOperatorWritten July 2022

      We have created these tours with the Young Professional in mind, so it definitely is not a party tour. Our average customer is a female traveler aged 29-34, so that should give you a good indication of what the group will look like. As a solo traveler you'll be sharing with another female solo traveler. AC and ensuite in every room.
