Your dream holiday is sailing the Croatian coast, and you have already made plans to rent a yacht this summer – but you worry you are short in sailing experience, and that is busting up your confidence? The Basic course is a seven-day intermediate sailing school. During the course, you will sail in the waters around Pula and the nearby islands of the northern Adriatic such as Unije, Ilovik, Mali Lošinj, and Susak. During the course, you will learn boat maneuvering, navigational skills, safety, mechanical problem solving, and how to sail. Also, during the course, our skipper instructor will prepare you for taking the exam at Harbour Master's office, so if you want, you can take the exam and get a valid B category license. Great thing is that you don't have to have a previous sailing experience, just goodwill for new experience and adventure. The price includes 7 days onboard accommodation, skipper instructor, skipper lessons, tourist taxes, transit log, boat fuel and mooring fee for marinas and buoy fields. Only food and drinks are not included in the price. Sign up for the Basic Course, and master the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge for independent sailing in 7 days. No previous sailing experience is needed. Feel free to contact us for any further information about the course.

Great trip, as someone that has never sailed before, plenty of hands on experience.
