Marina for fresh skippers

First cruise as captain 

Are you still holding your wet skipper's licence in your hand and your mind is already racing as you stand at the helm of a sailing boat and set sail on your first voyage as a skipper, to meet new adventures? A once-in-a-lifetime feeling. To avoid this moment becoming your nightmare, you need to choose the marina you sail from carefully. Because this time, it really will be up to you - there will be an experienced skipper on hand to give advice and be on hand (on the course) at all times.

Marina suitable for first sailing 

One of the friendliest marinas for beginners is the Zaton marina. If you need a place around you, like when you first get out of a Citroen C1 and into a truck, then Zaton Marina fits the bill. There's so much room that you could probably maneuver a giant ocean liner without a problem. Plus, it's nicely tidy in the lee, so whether it's a bura or a yugo, the water level in the marina is like no wind. 

Choosing a boat 


If you take a slightly battered boat from Dream yacht, you can be sure that the new scratch will not make any wrinkles. But of course it has its ALE!!!! sometimes the boats from Dream aren't quite right, so it's important to be really careful when taking over the boat, so that you don't have 3 out of 4 toilets on the boat clogged...then it would be on you and if someone noticed it when taking over the boat, then it wouldn't be a cheap affair.

How teambuilding on a boat strengthens team spirit

So, team building on the boat, you say? I'll admit, when I first heard it, I pictured team "karaoke" with fish in the hold. But once I experienced firsthand what such a week at sea with colleagues entails, I changed my mind faster than paper beats stone. After all, who wouldn't want to test their team spirit by sailing among dolphins and anchoring in Croatian bays?
