The final route will depend on the weather
It should always be remembered that weather at sea is unpredictable: calm and clear skies can turn stormy in a matter of hours. It is the captain’s primary responsibility to monitor the weather and assess the risks. Therefore, please understand that if the risk is high, the captain has the right to change the route or not sail at all until the weather improves.
Who will be the cook
Captain since 2018, chef. Former journalist, was a radio presenter for 20 years, but at some point decided to try my hand in the kitchen. Worked as a chef, sous-chef, manager. Most of the time in Moscow’s Enthusiast and in various friendly projects like the Force of Wind. Now he is a sous chef in OVO projects in Belgrade.

We're often asked
Questions department:
Sounds great. Is it OK if I have no sailing experience?
Answer Department:
Of course you can. We always welcome newcomers, we want to attract new people to sailing and we will teach you everything if you want.
Questions department:
Do you get seasick on the boat?
Answer Department:
Statistically 90% of people are prone to motion sickness. However, we will only sail in calm waters and will not go out to sea during a storm. Slight rocking is normally tolerated by most people, and taking anti-motion sickness tablets removes the unpleasant sensations completely. In addition, after 2−3 days the organism adjusts, "pumps up" and pills are no longer needed.
Questions department:
Where will I sleep? On the boat or in hotels?
Answer Department:
We live on a catamaran. It has comfortable double cabins with a bunk bed. In addition, each cabin has a small wardrobe for storing clothes and closed niches for bags.
Questions department:
What do we eat?
Answer Department:
For all November arrivals, we have decided to add even more comfort to the adventure, so there will be a cook on board. When you wake up, breakfast will be waiting for you. When you return from an active snorkelling trip, dinner is ready. We believe that this is a great way to get to know the local cuisine and immerse yourself in the culture of the country. You’ll also have more time to explore new places and relax. On adventures from December to February we cook our own meals. The boat has a galley, gas cooker, fridge and all the necessary utensils. On the first day we do the shopping together, based on the wishes of all team members.
Questions department:
Will I be allowed to sail the boat?
Answer Department:
Yes, and we welcome it. You will be accompanied by a professional skipper who will teach you the basics of sailing and you will be able to take an active part in the management of the catamaran: setting and managing the sails, steering and assisting with mooring.
Questions department:
What if I just want to relax and do nothing?
Answer Department:
You can rely on our captain and only join in the teamwork when you need it most, such as when mooring and setting sail. The rest of the time you can relax and enjoy the view.
Questions department:
How much time will I spend at sea? Will I have time to see the sights?
Answer Department:
When travelling we try to keep a balance between sea and land. The average crossing per day is 20 to 30 miles, which equates to 4 to 6 hours of sailing per day. We arrive at the anchorage in the afternoon and still have time for sightseeing.
Questions department:
What should I bring with me?
Answer Department:
Write to us and we will send you a detailed clothing memo for your water area.
Questions department:
How and where do I meet the team and the captain?
Answer Department:
Before each trip we organise a meeting (online) where we introduce each other and the captain, answer questions, discuss the programme and all the details. If you can’t make it, don’t worry, you can get to know each other in absentia and ask any questions in the team chat. We will then meet at the marina.
