SAILING SCHOOL ANA

A.N.A. – Academia Navalis Adriatica – 26 years under the sails.

Academia Navalis Adriatica is an international sailing and seamanship school which, during the 26 years of it’s existence, had over 13.000 succesfull course participants. The school is a member of ISSA, the International Sailing School Association.

The school instructors, who are heading the course, are in charge for the program’s implementation, they’ve sailed thousands of miles, and their experience guarantees learning the highest quality of sailing. Over the years A.N.A. acquired the reputation and experience that make her equal to the most renowned sailing schools in the world – we proudly point out that we are a certified RYA training centre (Royal Yachting Association), which provides internationally acclaimed education with specially developed programs.

The natural beauty of the Adriatic coast, would not be used properly, if the school would be satisfied only by teaching how to sail. Our coast provides each visitor with something unusual and rare – a true encounter with the sea. In such an environment, the sailing school had to grow into a school of life at sea.That is why you can see our boats all over our coast, from Dubrovnik to Umag, from Opatija to Jabuka, for the purpose of realizing different ways of getting to know the sea and living with the sea. In doing so, we persist in implementing fundamental methodological principles of our school: a strict program and it’s strict implementation.

Enjoy sun and crystal clear sea!

Get to know Croatian coast – Dalmatia, and all of its beauty, history, stories and legends, and try local cuisine on excursions that are included in price.

Murter – small northdalmatian island near Šibenik. The island is connected to the mainland by a short bridge in Tisno. Most of the island is covered with ancient olive and fig trees that are the main traditional crops grown by the locals. During the summer there are also numerous tourists. It is located in a good position in the Adriatic Sea and from here we can do tours along the coast.
