Our Team
Péter Bonifert
Operations Manager / Instructor
“Peti makes sure everything and everyone is in the right place – for him, it’s a natural state, not just work. A competitive sailor since childhood and multi-time national champion, he is the kind of instructor whose expertise truly rubs off on you.”
Tamás Sági
Instructor
“Tomi is contending for the title of the world’s most patient sailing instructor. He explains with endless patience in countless ways until everyone understands. In his free time, he races on Balaton’s iconic cruiser, the Sirocco.”
Tibor Miklós
Instructor
“Tibi is a living encyclopedia of Shipping Regulations. As a former water police officer, he knows every corner of Lake Balaton – you’ll meet him in both theory and motorboat sessions.”
Péter Vaczula
Instructor
