Refresh your skills before you rent

A calm, practical session on the water with someone who knows Biograd’s channels, marinas and day-trip routes — so your first solo rental feels confident, not stressful.

Licence in hand, experience missing?

Many guests have a valid permit but little time behind the wheel. We focus on what matters locally: leaving the dock, handling wind and traffic, and returning safely.

Returning after years away

If you sailed long ago and want to enjoy the Adriatic again, a short refresher brings back muscle memory and updates you on how we run rentals from the riva.

Local knowledge included

Our skippers know Pašman channel, nearby bays and sensible routes for your experience level — the same advice we give before every handover.

Step toward self-drive rental

After training, many guests rent Lomac 660 or Blumax Bluline 19 with far more confidence. We help you choose timing, boat and route for your next step.

Skipper training is a one-to-one (or small-group) session with a Nautilus skipper on one of our boats. We adapt the content to you — whether you need a gentle reintroduction or a focused hour on docking.

Sessions start from our base on Obala kralja Petra Krešimira IV in Biograd na Moru. We discuss your licence, prior experience and goals before leaving the dock.

This is not a licence examination or certification course. It is practical coaching so licence holders can rent safely and enjoy the islands around Biograd.

Contact us with your preferred dates and experience level. We reply with availability, duration options and pricing for your training session.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about renting a boat or booking an excursion with Nautilus in Biograd na Moru.

Who is skipper training for?

Guests who already hold a valid boat licence but lack recent time on the water — or who sailed years ago and want a safe refresher before a self-drive rental.

What will we practice during the session?

Typical topics include departure and return at our dock, basic manoeuvring, anchoring or mooring, reading local conditions, and planning a realistic day route around Biograd.

How long does a training session last?

Duration depends on your experience and goals — usually a few hours on the water. Tell us your situation when you enquire and we suggest a suitable length.

Can I rent a boat straight after training?

Often yes, if you and our skipper agree you are ready and the weather is suitable. Training can be booked on its own or combined with a rental day.

Do I need my own licence for training?

Yes — this service is a refresher for licence holders, not a course to obtain a licence. For boats that do not require a licence, see Adria M-Sport 500 on our fleet page.
