To be with people, yet to be alone.
To really go distance, yet to feel so
close to nature. We take you sailing.
You ask me why we sail? Now, I should tell you something about true freedom, the genuine experience, the primal impulse that awakens when a person finds themselves alone on the open sea. Just the wind, the sound of infinity, some ancient instincts reawakened.
All of that would be words – but they, like photographs, can’t convey so much. Perhaps that’s a good thing.
Must Know Before You Go
The journey starts here.
What’s essential for you to know is that the adventure begins from the Ionian Sea and ends who knows where. Some facts: the boat is 49 feet long and can accommodate 10 people.
Mysterious beaches and Mediterranean sunsets can’t be experienced anywhere else. You sleep on the deck, under the open sky, or down below, in a bed in the cabin. You don’t hear anything you don’t want to hear – all those unnecessary words, shouting, and music from the sunbeds and towels around you when you’re not sailing.
Of course, we can always throw a party – but for a limited number of people. Most often, that’s how it happens – and they’re spontaneous, and those have always been the best.
The right mindset.
Before we set sail on our trip, let’s touch base on land, at least briefly. So later you don cry for me Argentina. Besides the zen moments it can provide, sailing is an adrenaline sport. You’re active, no lounging around all day. (Okay, maybe a bit).
Let’s say it’s like camping on water, and in that sense, the comfort scale might need to be a bit lower – and you’ll enjoy the pace – slower. OK, no more rhyming, that’s so lame, hotel-like.
Speaking of hotels, the boat has everything: a double cabin, living space, a kitchen, and there’s a way to get your privacy if things get a bit tight. It’s okay. Generally, we don’t bring chefs, but that can also be arranged. Some like cooking, some don’t – in practice, arrangements with incredible Greek taverns accessible only to selected few have proven to be maybe the best solution.
If you still have any doubts, and that’s entirely natural, just give us a call. We’re not in the middle of nowhere. Well, we are, but we have a phone.
Chose your way
Two waves.
Plus the adventure.
Perhaps, like many, you’re thinking about sailing but aren’t quite sure if all your friends share the same passion, or if you’ve entirely decided – but you need to find a boat – or you’re determined to take the helm yourself! We get that.
You have us.
It’s possible, of course.
We’ll teach you how – after all, how do you think we became so cool?
Got
questions?
What is the work methodology?
The theoretical part of the course is done from the IYT textbook – we provide photocopies. Starting from one class, the theoretical introduction is held in Serbia; everything else is done in Greece.
The passing in the form of a written test is held near the end of the course itself. Our approach emphasises practical training, where 14 days means a lot, which provides a solid basis for independent navigation.
What is the advantage of this approach?
We work in small groups—up to 3 participants max—and the duration of the training is 14 days. The traditional methods that schools generally practice include a 7-day course and groups of 5+ participants, meaning that each participant docks the ship twice or thrice during the course—which is too little.
What license do I get after completing the training?
Internationally recognized license: International Yacht and Maritime Training | IYT Worldwide.
What is included in the course price?
Training boat rental, instructor, training materials and passing.
What is not included in the course price?
Food, water, and electricity are in marinas, port taxes, diesel (paid according to consumption after returning to base), and the ship is cleaned. The costs are shared among the candidates.

I am Mark from USA, but I am not just an American, (parents born in the Balkans), and this was my adventure last summer – I’d love to share it with you. (Always love the literature class I took in college). Here is my “essay”: The turquoise waters…
