The Sailing School Croatia Active and Adriatic Nautical Academy (ANA) have put together a programme designed to meet the needs of complete beginners who want to learn and practice the basics of recreational sailing. Courses commence at the start of each holiday week and are progressive and structured. There are short morning chats followed by yacht-based sessions. You may get wet, but it's warm, sociable and after 3 days the majority are capable of commanding the ten-meter long sailing boats (Adriatic 1020 or Val 35) with only slight supervision. top

Sailing Routes
The programme is not confined to the port of Mljet, nearly every day you will discover one of the many uninhabited islands in the Adriatic and be given time to relax in the most idyllic of surrounds. After a week you will receive your certificate, allowing you to enjoy recreational sailing for the rest of your life. Join us in learning how to sail in one of the most beautiful seas in the world!

Each island around Mljet is as beautiful as the other and each offers its unique charm, from the fortressed Island of Korcula to the emote coastline of the Peljesac peninsula, each day will offer the sailor a unique and exciting journey. top

Sample itinerary - beginner's course
During the six-day period of acquiring the basic sailing knowledge, students sail on ten-meter long sailing boats (Adriatic 1020 or Val 35) in the waters between the islands of Mljet, Korcula and the Dubrovnik coast.

During the morning session the students get ready to go afloat and receive detailed explanations of all the activities on the programme for that day, what course the boat will take and what interesting islands or coast lines you will visit.

On your travels with your qualified instructors you will be thought how to act and what to do in different positions on a sailing boat, how to handle the ropes and sailing equipment, how to perform the basic maneuvers, trim and reef the sails and how to steer. top
