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 ā with ten cruiser-racer Beneteau Firsts 35 ā 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 ā 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.
