Navigation Sailing Programme has its venue on Ultra d.o.o. sailing boats (depending on number of attendants, all Beneteau sailboats). The course attendants are not accommodated in our base on land but they are staying on board during the whole course.

This program is a logical continuation and addition to the experience acquired in the previous two school programs. It is held by instructors with very long skipper and yachting experience. The seven-day-program totals 250 nautical miles, i.e. approximately 35 nautical miles a day. The program includes a tour to the following islands: Brač, Šolta, Hvar, Vis, Lastovo, Korčula and Mljet with one full night navigation. Over these seven days together with the following issues such as an independent navigational program, nautical skills, following the weather conditions and out-of-marina anchoring the attendants will be more rich in their sailors skills. In the program they are also obligated with a duties necessary for living on sea such as: doing the dishes with the limited water consumption, cooking and the preparation of the typical meals: «tinguet», pasta with tuna, tomato sauce, fish stew, doing sailing and night watches, anchor watches etc. Daily working program is not fixed owing to the unforeseeable weather conditions but the course attendants are obliged to sail 35 nautical miles a day, i.e. one route a day is foreseen for this course.
