About us

Before this dream became a plan we had no experience with sailing. We used to own a powerboat and spent many holidays in Croatia, exploring the islands and anchorages by boat.

So our first task was to learn how to sail! We took sailing lessons, sold our powerboat and bought a Beneteau Oceanis 473 in August 2016.
