Very nice day provided by the relaxed skippers of CresSail! Warm welcome with a nice drink to start the day. Soon after sailing we saw a group of around 40 (!) dolphins, the skipper told us that they did not jump that much because they had young, but this did not make the experience any less beautiful! Many beautiful swimming opportunities, including a unique experience of swimming in a Blue Cave. We did this under the guidance of one of the skippers, which was very nice, because it was quite dark in parts of the cave. At noon we had a delicious, fresh, home-made lunch in a beautiful bay. Despite the strong wind in the afternoon I was still able to do some sailing which completed the day! Highly recommended!

CresSail provides an exceptionally professional experience for your vacation on the island of Cres.
For a trip to one of Cres‘ paradise beaches going with CresSail will be the best choice. Though you would be faster by a motor yacht, sailing is a really fun (or peaceful if wind is low) ride and you will even learn something. Skippers are happy to show and explain you everything they know, so you can operate the boat yourself if you wish to.
The boat is very comfortable, nice and clean. Doesn’t seem like a commercial turist attraction at all, but provides a sportive sailing impression, while being totally safe at all times due to great experience of the skippers.
Most unique about going with CresSail is that skippers know how to create the right athmosphere while being at your service. Polite and inconspicious but also smart, talkative and fun when appropriate.
Basic drinks and snacks are included, also you can take whatever you want with you, there is a fridge.
Skippers are very dog-friendly. Our dog enjoyed the trip. If you worry whether the trip is appropriate for your dog‘s individual needs I‘m sure you can ask anything when booking and get a reliable answer.
There is shadow on the boat, but anyways bring sunscreen and/or cover your skin from the sun.
Booking via eMail was easy. Pricing is transparent and appropriate, no hidden cost.

Wonderful way to spend a day in Cres and explore its numerous beaches that are otherwise hard to reach. Although there was not sufficient wind to allow much sailing, we still had an amazing time. I recommend booking whole day (9 to 21). Lunch and dinner were excellent. The skipper and both lady guides very nice snd unobtrusive. A money well spent. Blue caves are a must see!

Beautiful experience with the Cres Sail crew. We spent an unforgettable evening sailing on their boat at sunset. We stopped for a swim in a hidden spot and we enjoyed our meal with some good wine and in good company. We absolutely recommend Cres Sail! We hope to see you soon again!

We had one. Great day with Cres sail. Had booked a sailing tour by phone. Surprise was that nobody was on board except us, except the two extremely nice skippers who picked us up directly at Kamp Kovacine. We went to the blue grotto and bathed in two bays. We sailed when there was enough wind and otherwise with the engine. There was a delicious pasta salad on board for lunch, drinks and snacks! in between! We learned a lot about sailing and were allowed to help. Great hosts, a wonderful experience!

Really good adventure! We visited the blue cave (even the secret chambers), and some nice other beaches. The stuff is friendly and chilled, they let you navigate the boat or try sailing. I really recommend it.

I went to Cres with my friend, we also visited and Mali and Veli Lošinj. In Cres we went for a sail trip with CresSail and the experience was great. Lovely people, kind, knowledgable and available to talk and explain us things regarding the boat and the surroundings. You can also practice your sailing/sailor skills on board under the guidance of the skipper.
The sail trip has been great, I relaxed and enjoyed the sun, the peace the boat and the sea.

We had the best day out with Cres Sail, Matija and Boris as skipper and crew made for the best day out while in Croatia.
Fortunately we had the best weather and wind conditions of the week and sailed most of the day with many opportunities for passengers to take the helm with direction when needed.
Lunch was prepared and served downstairs, very tasty seafood option and free flowing wine.
The Blue Cave swim was amazing, the therma clines were so noticeable and exhilarating to really awaken the senses. Matija guided us through with masks and snorkels supplied on board through 3 fantastic caves.
Libenice Beach was beautiful with only one other boat moored, and a much easier option than the hotbwalk down from the village. Feeding the ‘pirannah’ fish some leftover bread from the back ladder was an experience.
Take your underwater camera, sense of adventure and a willingness to learn some sailing skills in this value for money day tour.
Communication with booking and other dietary details were top notch.
Thankyou Boris for sharing a beautiful part of your world.

In August 2014 I went with my friends on a sailboat trip with Cres Sail crew (2 skippers). Must note: Skippers are free. It was so relaxing and beautiful to see Cres from different view. Skipper was humorous and very informative. We anchored in Lubenice beach, take a swim and at Plave Grote (must see!). Also, big surprise were 'welcome' drinks and food! Cres Sail, we love you, will be back.

Depend on the trip. For the evening sails is 45euro/pers. We did a private evening sail and it was 220euro(we were 4pers so the difference was not that big). It was great, I highly recommend.

Salut,
there are many places to snorkel. You can also dive into the Blue Cave, if you prefer diving more than swimming:)
