Sailing Schools in Croatia

NCP & Mare (Nauticki Centar Pina)

Grad Šibenik, Croatia

Based in Šibenik’s Marina Mandalina, the sailing school delivers intensive, English-language instruction entirely aboard its Grand Soleil 43 and in a dedicated waterfront classroom. Practical sessions at sea are matched with well-equipped theory facilities ashore, ensuring students receive a balanced blend of hands-on experience and navigational knowledge in a single, professional setting. The curriculum guides participants from first steps to advanced mastery through a clearly tiered pathway—Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster. Each stage builds expertise in sail handling, coastal navigation and offshore passagemaking, so graduates leave with the confidence and seamanship expected of world-class sailors, whether they arrived as complete beginners or seasoned yachtsmen refining their skills.
