Who are we?
We are a sailing-addicted, family-run company with more than 20 years of experience. We specialise in sailing courses, regatta seminars and chartering performance sailing yachts.
We started one of the first Croatian one-design fleets – with ten cruiser-racer Beneteau Firsts 35 – ideal for leisure and competitive sailing. We organised numerous regattas, championships, and regatta seminars with top Croatian and international sailors. Recently we added a brand new Dehler 38 SQ to our fleet for the RYA courses.
We also offer our fleet’s flagship, large and luxury Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 First – the only First line edition model available for charter in the world.
Our experienced technical team guarantees excellent boat maintenance and keeps the fleet in top condition. We provide our clients with the highest possible standard of service from the moment they book our yacht until they return satisfied from a pleasant vacation or sporting event.

Yvan Bodart, Chief instructor
Yvan comes from Belgium and started sailing in 2014. He loved it so much, that he knew it would change his life. Until recently, Yvan had a job as a consultant for wide format printers for a well know company, covering Belgium and Luxemburg. After Covid, the traffic jams in Belgium seemed to get worse than before. Once, being stuck in such a traffic jam in the neighbourhood of Brussels, he said to himself that doing the same distance while sailing, would even be faster. That made him decide that it was time for a 180° change in his life. Since then he became a cruising instructor and is eager to teach people the joy of sailing here in Croatia during summer and in the Canary Islands during winter season.
