LEAN FROM THE BEST

Our skippers have more than 15 years of commercial sailing and yachting experience.

SAILING CRUISES

It’s sailing, but with a purpose!.. To discover hidden bays, swim in turquoise water, snorkel around the underwater cliffs, explore the beautiful towns. We will sail as much as you like, but we won’t forget other ways of having fun either 🙂

Short sessions

If you’re not sure how you’re going to handle the sea and the boat, or you have limited time at your disposal, then the short session is perfect for you. 3 hours is just enough time to enjoy and experience everything the sailing lifestyle offers.

Half day sessions

6 hours is plenty of time to experience all the good stuff you can get on a sailing cruise and that means more sailing, more swimming and snorkeling and more relaxing! It’s plenty of time to get to some beautiful and more distant beaches.

All day sessions

The all day session is even more fun than the half day session! 9 hours of sailing, swimming and having fun! Visit the nearby islands, explore the towns on the coast you have not yet seen. It will completely break your daily routine in a marvelous way.

SAILING SCHOOL

Learn to sail fast and easy. Our experienced skippers will follow the curriculum we made and tailor it to your needs. We offer our sailing school in 3 different programs, covering absolute beginners but also people who would like to participate in regattas.

Beginners course

During this course, participants will have up to 4 sessions on the water and learn the fundamentals of sailing as a sport & lifestyle. You will learn parts and areas of the boat and the sails, steering and operating them…

Advanced course

In the Advanced course, there are up to 4 sessions on the water, participants will upgrade their knowledge gained in the basic course and will improve their boat handling skills. This course is designed for people who want to buy their own boat or sail as a valuable member of the crew at any post.

Captain’s Journey

is a mix of a skipper course and an Adriatic cruise, ideal for adventurers wanting to master larger boat handling while experiencing life at sea. By the end, you’ll have the skills and confidence to recreate the experience with friends or family.

TEAM BUILDING

Every organization and company CEO understands that teamwork efficiency is one of the biggest challenges in the corporate world.  Sailing is the perfect activity for team building, it offers a challenging natural environment in which cooperation and team spirit of the crew are essential for success.

We had three wonderful days of sailing. Everything was explained and demonstrated very competently, the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed, and there was plenty of fun. Our second day of sailing was especially fantastic!
We had a fantastic day at sea with Oz! He was easy to arrange by email and then WhatsApp. Oz speaks fluent English, so he explains the trip and teaches you some sailing terms. You can even help out and take the helm yourself. Thanks, Oz!

We had a bachelorette party and it was perfect - such an amazing experience. Jasmin is the best skipper - very patient, professional, and easygoing. I’m looking forward to joining his sailing school!

My recommendation for this sailing school!
All instructors from the OPA team are very professional, with a lot of experience.
The instructions are clear, timely and you can get explanations for all your questions.
You also get a manual that remains as an excellent reminder of what has been explained.

Besides and important, there is a great atmosphere with those guys! 😎
Thanks for great experience!🥰

It was our 6th time in Croatia and I can fairly say we have had an extraordinary afternoon. Ivan took us sailing for the whole day. Enough time to try and learn some sailing techniques, swimming in the Adriatic, chilling a bit with some drinks and snacks. We were a 2 young adults and my parents and we all had a blast. We are very thankful for this magical experience which was the best culmination of our trip. It was a very fair price for the experience. Greetings from Germany and Argentina

What a fantastic day! We spent 6 hours sailing the Opatija Riviera and beyond. Ivan is a knowledgeable instructor and generally a great guy to be around. I learned a lot and increased my skills. We also enjoyed swimming in a couple of secluded coves. Highly recommended!!
