About us
We are experienced sailors & professional skippers from Pula.
Raised on sea in Pula
“Sailing has always been a significant part of our lifestyle. Since birth, my parents have taken my brother, my sisters, and me on sailing trips, covering 200 nautical miles in two weeks. Whenever there was even a slight breeze, they would sail, only resorting to using the motor when there was no wind. Each trip to the sea was unique and memorable. We have a deep love for sailing, and we aim to share this experience with anyone interested. Our goal is to create unforgettable experiences for you that will stay with you for a lifetime – this is what we find most beautiful. “

Premium Sailing Tours
Sailing isn’t just about moving across the water – it’s about connecting. With the sea. With nature. And with each other.
Our values shape every journey:
Integrity. Excellence. Professionalism. Passion.
We sail with honesty, bring years of expertise, and pour our love for the sea into every tour.
Care for People & Nature
We treat you like one of our own, and sail with respect for the environment – powered by wind, not fuel.
Attitude & Commitment
With a positive spirit, we turn every day on the water into an unforgettable adventure.
If you want to feel like a yacht owner with local guides who truly know these shores – our PREMIUM SAILING EXPERIENCES are for you.
Whether you’re an adventurer, dreamer, or peace-seeker, our mission is to offer you a real sailing experience guided by locals who live and breathe these waters. You’re not just a guest – you’re part of the crew.
Our Yacht, Sailing boat
Our boats are built for those who appreciate the true feeling of sailing — combining comfort, character, and performance in a way that makes every journey an experience. With a soul of their own, they promise a lifetime of adventures for groups of up to 8.
B. Match Race sails beautifully in winds ranging from 5 to 15 knots. Even in a light breeze, the boat comes alive and can sometimes move faster than the wind itself.
We sail both with cruising and regatta sails, creating the freedom to adapt to different conditions and sailing styles. Our setup includes approximately 5 professional regatta sails, each valued between €2,000 and €7,000, together with 4 versatile cruising sails.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxed day on the water or the pure thrill of speed, everything is there to make the most of the conditions.
Yes, it’s a slightly expensive hobby… but once you experience the feeling of real sailing, it’s easy to understand why.













In addition to performance, B- Match Race is fully equipped for comfort and ease on the water. The boat features a bimini and sprayhood to protect from sun and wind, solar panels for sustainable power, a cockpit awning (tenda) and comfortable cushions for relaxing on deck. Below deck, you’ll find two cozy cabins, a well-equipped galley with a refrigerator, stove, and oven, and a bathroom with an electric toilet and holding tank. Whether you’re sailing for a few hours or a full day, you’ll feel at home on board.
The Bavaria Match 35 was designed by Doug Peterson and J&J Design and built by Bavaria Yachts. It’s a fast, regatta-ready vessel that also doubles as a stylish cruiser – ideal for sailors who want both performance and comfort.”

Idea about Adrinaut Sailing
Meet The Founder
I’m Sanja, founder of Adrinaut Sailing.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve run my own consultancy, helping businesses grow through business development, branding, digital strategy, project development, and event management. Alongside my professional career, sailing has always been my greatest passion.

Every sailing experience is thoughtfully designed, professionally organized, and tailored to the wind, the sea, and your wishes.

The Spirit behind our Story
We’re a family of six with salt in our veins and adventure in our souls. Even when our kids were little, we took them everywhere — from the sea to the mountains — and that spirit still shapes everything we do.
Every summer, we set sail together for weeks on the Adriatic, and in winter, we trade waves for snow, skiing in Austria, Italy, and recently, France. Sailing is our passion, but so is creating unforgettable experiences for others.
Both my husband and I are entrepreneurs, each running our own business, and today our older kids join in — helping during the summer season, studying during the year, and always bringing their energy to our family “team.” We know what it’s like to be travelers, so when we host, we try to offer the kind of experience we’d love to have ourselves: personal, local and authentic.
We’ve explored the world — from Bali to New York & New Orleans, from Marrakech to Amsterdam and dozens of charming towns and cities across Europe (Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes, Paris, London, Geneva, Barcelona, Duesseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Nurnberg, Leeuwarden, Wien, Venice, Rim, Milano, Luxembourg, Gothenburg, Bratislava, Beograd, Skopje, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Corfu, and of Croatia, almost all Italy and Slovenia). And every time, it’s the realness of the experience that stays with us — the people, the stories, the unexpected moments.
That’s exactly what our sailing tours are made of.
No two days at sea are ever the same. The wind, the crew, and your wishes shape the story. Whether it’s a quiet swim near the Islands, an afternoon sailing into the golden sunset, or a full-day private adventure — we’ll help you feel like a sailor and a yacht owner, not just a passenger.
We’d love to welcome you aboard. Let’s make your sailing story one to remember.
Get in touch to book your trip – and let the adventure begin.
