About Us

Sailors
since childhood

We have sailed through the Optimist, Cadet, Windsurfing, Vaurien, 420 Fireball and Melges classes. Currently we race offshore in the ORC class on Giulia (Italia Sailing Yacht 9.98) and in One Design events on a Bavaria 46 Cruiser or First 45.

We collaborate with other skippers to deliver high-quality, safe and modern instruction. Our mission is to be your guides to sailing — whether you are heading out on holiday, a team-building trip, or want to race.

What graduates say

Graduate reviews

"

"I sailed the Easter Regatta in Croatia with Milan twice — as a helmsman he is absolutely relaxed, calm even in tense situations. Third place was completely unexpected and all the more appreciated. I would definitely race with him again."

"Milan taught me to handle a motorboat on the Vltava and then we prepared several races together on Lipno and Máchovo jezero. You can tell he has years of experience — he knows what he's doing and can pass it on without unnecessary words. Since then I sail on my own without worry."

"I sailed several races with Matěj on the 420 and Fireball. He is a careful and reliable helmsman — always prepared, always aware of what is happening on the course. I learned more from him than in the entire previous year."
