GAIN IMPORTANT DRIVING EXPERIENCE
PRACTICAL TRAINING WITH PROFESSIONAL SKIPPERS
Do you already have a boating license for the sea, but feel unsure in practice? Our skipper training courses offer you the unique opportunity to significantly improve your boating experience or to get back into boating safely after a long break.
Our training courses are also very popular with beginners, as you don’t have to take a practical exam for the Croatian coastal license and therefore don’t have to attend any practical lessons on the boat during your training for your boating license.
After completing the skipper training, you will receive an official skipper certificate, which is also often required for chartering boats.
- Practical training on the water
- Learn safe behavior & important maneuvers at sea
- Gain important knowledge in just one day
- Individual intensive training
- With professional, German-speaking skippers
- Official skipper certificate received

What our Customers about the Skipper Training
"Perfect weather, perfect wind, perfect skipper training. While other providers are still in hibernation at the beginning of March, Bruno and Sonja managed to organize a spontaneous skipper training for me and my partner. Thank you for the great experience, absolutely recommendable."
"I did the skipper training at Laguna Nautika last week. It was much better than expected! From training on the boat to mooring, sailing at sea, anchoring, refueling and behavior in the harbor, it was all there.
Two days later, we rented a boat from them and explored the area. Once again, everyone was very friendly and the price was right.
Thanks to the Laguna Nautika team"
"Everything was perfectly organized! There was nothing to complain about at all. The skipper at the skipper and sailor training was great. He was easy to understand, explained everything well and was also very humorous. Everything was great with the boat too. The boss (Sonja) was super nice and communicated perfectly with us in Styrian. We will definitely be back!!!"
