COURSE - BOAT SKIPPER B LICENCE

Operate sailing boats, motor boats or jet ski up to 30GT

Languages: English, Croatian

In summer, it's crowded – there are many applicants at the Harbor Master's Office, so it's necessary to register for the exam at least 2 weeks in advance.

The boat skipper B license entitles you to operate both sailing boats and motor boats with tonnage of up to 30 GT.

Yachts and JET vehicles can also be driven. The engine power is not limited here.  The driving range III applies here and the minimum age of the boat driver is 16 years.

The one-day preparation course and the Category B Skipper exam (held in Croatia) take place over two days.

You’ll receive our course script by email in advance. Our experienced skipper – practically born at sea – will guide you through a hands-on training session to build your confidence at the helm (and reassure us too!). We’ll take care of all the paperwork and register you for the exam at the Master’s Office in Pula.

The B Skipper Course is designed according to the official exam program and covers:

  • Maritime Navigation – nautical charts, chart reading, coordinates, course and distance plotting, coastal navigation, compass use, navigation manuals, and electronic instruments.

  • Engine & Safety – internal combustion engines, engine systems, fire safety procedures, pollution prevention.

  • Regulations & Meteorology – maritime laws, weather principles.

  • Boat Handling – types of boats, stability, equipment, ropes and knots, safety at sea, docking, setting sail, anchoring, first aid.

  • Collision Avoidance Rules – navigation lights, day shapes, sound and danger signals, maneuvering under sail and power.

  • Radio Communication – VHF and VHF DSC radio, station documents, call signs, distress/urgency/safety procedures, phonetic alphabet, GMDSS system.

We make the process simple. Just send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred dates, and we’ll arrange everything for you.

TAILORED COURSE - FIRST SAILING STEPS

Step into the world of sailors

Languages: English, Croatian, Italian

Your mentor is not only an experienced skipper but also a passionate local sailor who actively takes part in regattas. With him, you’ll learn from real on-the-water experience — and at the end, you’ll receive a certificate to mark your achievement.

You may decide just to try sailing 2-3 hours or to want more 6-12hours, or to get more with intensive course three days and in total 24 hours or tailored sailing course that last week or more.

How complicated is sailing?
Sailing isn’t as complicated as many people imagine. With a good skipper and the right boat, your first experience can be smooth, safe, and enjoyable. The basics — steering, trimming sails, and understanding the wind — can be learned in just a few hours.

Of course, sailing can also be as deep and challenging as you want it to be. If you aim to skipper a yacht yourself, race in regattas, or sail across open seas, you’ll need more training, practice, and knowledge. That’s where structured courses and hands-on experience come in.

In short: sailing is simple to start, fun to learn, and endlessly rewarding to master.
