WHAT WILL YOU GET BEFORE SAILING?
PERSONALIZED ROUTE PLANNING
We’ll help you create a sailing route tailored to your crew, interests, and weather outlook — with expert insights on must-see spots, safe anchorages, and smarter itineraries that go beyond the standard charter suggestions.
BOAT BOOKING ASSISTANT
For professional advice and support on choosing the right boat, consult with our experienced skippers. We will guide you through the selection process and help you choose best boat regarding your skill level, budget and personal preference.
101 SAILING CROATIA
We will send you a booklet with essential sailing and navigation rules, docking in marinas, buoy catching, anchoring, as well as basic sailing and meteorology. Additionally, we’ll provide useful lists such as packing tips, marina size comparisons, gas station locations, handy phone apps and more.
LOCAL AREA BRIEFINGS
We’ll provide you with focused insights on the areas you plan to visit — including docking tips, local rules, restricted zones, fuel availability, and nearby hazards — so you can feel well-prepared and avoid surprises along the route.
WHAT WILL YOU GET DURING SAILING?
DAILY SUPPORT AND UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS
As your trip progresses, we provide ongoing guidance: route adjustments, anchorage suggestions, and changes in local conditions. You’ll receive messages tailored to your sailing plan — not generic advice — so you’re always a step ahead, not reacting in the moment.
REAL TIME WEATHER RISKS AND ALERTS
We keep track of forecast changes, local winds, and high-risk conditions — and notify you directly if there’s something you should know. From sudden Nevera storms to shifting wind patterns, you’ll get timely, relevant updates that help you make confident, safe decisions underway.
IMMEDIATE HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
If something goes wrong or doesn’t go to plan — engine issues, late arrivals, marina confusion — we’re just a call or message away. You’ll speak with someone who understands the region and can help solve problems quickly, saving you time, stress, and unnecessary costs.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE ON DEMANS
Looking for a quiet bay near tonight’s stop? Not sure where to refuel or grab dinner? We share real-time local tips based on where you are, your route, and your preferences — the kind of insight you won’t find in apps or guides.
