GET A BOAT LICENSE FOR THE SEA IN CROATIA
The “Boat Skipper B” licence or coastal licence B is an official certificate of competence issued by the Croatian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Transport.
We will provide you with everything you need to successfully pass the exam. No previous theoretical or practical knowledge is required. With our all-round service, we take care of everything so that you theoretically only have to spend a weekend getting your driver’s license.

What our Customers say about us
"Super Skipperpatent B course, perfectly organized and conducted by Meik. He did a great job preparing us for the exam. Available for questions even at night. I can also recommend Bruno's skipper training to everyone. Everything was super organized. I can recommend it to everyone!!!"
"I registered on Tue, 30.05.23 and got my license on Sat, 03.06.23 in Poreč. The script is a great way to prepare for the theory lessons before the exam. All the gaps were then closed so that you can go into the exam with a good feeling. The atmosphere is great, from registration to the end of the exam."
"We had our test yesterday. The examination took place in two groups, each in front of a commission. The Laguna Nautika group has a 100% success rate, while the other group failed more than 90%. I think that speaks for itself. Thank you Sonja and Meik - anytime again."
