Catamaran Sailing Course Objectives
Croatia Sailing Academy is an academy for skippers that offers an intensive course that provides the knowledge needed for a safe stay on board as a skipper for both professional and private purposes. The academy provides theoretical and practical knowledge. Candidates who meet the criteria of the academy receive a Croatia Sailing Academy Skipper certificate, which CSA Team members, as a such, place on the market during the summer seasons.
The aim of the course, lasting 4 days, is to enable the candidate, through theory and practice, to independently, confidently and safely operate a vessel in accordance with the license he/she has, after passing the exam. Also, participants will be introduced to the way of communication with guests and how to solve potential problems both with the ship and with the guests.
The program is implemented 24 hours a day, over 4 days. During the course, the participants live on the ship in the presence of the skipper-instructor and simulate real situations that may occur during their stay on board.
