About the school
At Miles Ahead Sailing, we offer RYA training from Marina Kornati in Biograd na Moru, focusing on helping you become a confident and capable skipper. We believe in learning by doing in a supportive environment, where developing good decision making and seamanship is as important as technical skill. Whether you're starting out or have some experience, we're here to help you progress at your own pace.
The location
Marina Kornati in Biograd provides an excellent and practical base for learning to sail, with the diverse Kornati archipelago and numerous islands nearby offering genuine navigational challenges and varied sailing experiences. This allows students to apply their learning in real situations, building skills in a beautiful and dynamic part of the Adriatic.
How to get there
If you are travelling from overseas, Zadar Airport (ZAD) is the most convenient arrival point, located just a 30 minute drive from Biograd na Moru. Taxis, ride hailing services, or pre-booked transfers can take you directly to Marina Kornati. For those coming from other parts of Europe or within Croatia, renting a car is also a very practical option, with good road connections.
Best time to go
We find that late May through to early July provides a wonderful window for sailing in Biograd. During this time, the winds are generally steady, the Adriatic is warm, and you are ahead of the main summer rush. September is another excellent month, offering reliable weather and often quieter waters, making both periods ideal for focused learning.
