I took the skipper training with Franco this autumn and it was … More a great experience. If given the choice, I would do exactly the same course again. I’ve been sailing on lakes for several years, but it was my first time on salt water. Despite that fact, Franco capitalised on my abilities while also filling in my lack of knowledge of sailing on blue water with things like dead reckoning, man overboard and mooring. I would strongly recommend that you have a fluent understanding of points of sale, knots, parts of the boat and rigging. Also, if you don’t know navigation very well, Franco will DEFINITELY fix that.
The trip was 90 percent type 1 fun, but sometimes a bit of type 2 fun, especially in our first time practicing manoeuvres at the helm in force 4 winds. I wouldn’t say it was a relaxing holiday, but the R&R each night with a cold drink (and or course, some swimming) makes up for the daytime action and adventure. It certainly helped to be spending every night in pristine, empty anchorages or grill parties.
Franco is a great sailor and teacher. We really bonded as a crew, spending time sailing as well as cooking together in the evenings.
It was a hard course, but a good one. If you want to be a serious sailor, and keep up a tight ship, execute clean manoeuvres and learn good seamanship, this is the course for you.

I did the Competent Crew and the Day Skipper with White Wake … More Sailing in September 2020. Elisa and Franco were great instructors, I've learned incredibly much in this 2 weeks. We had fun, the atmosphere was friendly and great, it was a perfect mix of studies, theory, practical parts, sailing and enjoying a great time in Croatia. The sailing yachts Neda I and Tightrope were great to stay on and I felt like at home during my stay. I would definitely recommend White Wake Sailing for everybody who is interested in doing the Skipper Course with great people in Croatia. Thanks one more time for everything Elisa and Franco!

Had a very fun week with our trainer Sim and 4 other Day Skipper … More candidates sailing around the beautiful Croatian coast. While already having quite extensive sailing experience beforehand, I was still able to learn especially important topics around personal & crew safety, navigation & passage planning amongst other things. Great support & quick response times to requests from Franco
