This is not a course in the sense that you are used to – but 4 days on the open water, where you really learn to think like a captain. We sleep in a different island port every day, you drive the boat during the day, and in the meantime we prepare you for the Croatian B maritime license.
If your goal is to be able to rent a boat on the Adriatic independently in the future – and not just sit on board, but take your friends wherever you want to go – then these 4 days are the best investment. At the end of the course, you will take the theoretical B exam in Zadar and come home with a license.
