I had a great time spending a week in Rijeka and taking ASA 101-104 with Adriatic Sailing Academy. First off, a fun and walkable city, a great place to take a course like this. A special place to learn to sail. Above all, Fabio is an excellent instructor. I’ve spent many years instructing and around teaching in Aviation, and Fabio stands out as one of the best I’ve seen. A calm demeanor, he’s understanding and patient, you will be in great hands at his school. Truly one of the best. Thank you guys for a great course. Regardless of how I use the certification, it was a life changing class and great experience. -Tim Boston, MA USA

I found Adriatic Sailing Academy while searching for a sailing school that does ASA courses in Europe. I did the ASA A103 3-day sailing course with Fabio. There was a combination of sailing and classroom time every day and the experience was both very chill and informative. Fabio explained various topics in detail and cared about me understanding the material for real. I also got to practice on the boat quite a lot which was cool. Taking the course on my own in the US would have cost a few thousand dollars so 650 euros for this course was also a very good deal. Overall, the quality of the course was very high and for anyone wanting to do ASA certifications in Europe, this sailing school is a great choice. Fabio is also a cool guy to hang out with on a boat. It was simple and straightforward to arrange everything with Sanja who I did the booking with. Both Sanja and Fabio are very relaxed and friendly people.

The experience with Adriatic Sailing Academy is truly outstanding! I warmly recommend them to everyone as they are extremely approachable and professional, always ready to provide assistance and thoroughly answer all my questions. If you want to gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in sailing, definitely contact Adriatic Sailing Academy.

We rented Sea Toy, à Bavaria 44 from 2003 for a two week cruise between Riejka and Zadar. We were 4 adults and 4 children on board. Even though the boat is not luxurious it has the necessary comfort for such a cruise, it is well maintained, very stable and a pleasure to sail when there is enough wind. Fabio is a great host, very friendly and very much available to answer any questions and he knows both the region and the boat in the smallest detail and his advices contributed significantly in making our holiday one to remember. Our return on this boat is very likely to happen in the future. Thank you, Fabio, to you and to your team for such a pleasant service !

Great team , had fantastic time they made it fun to learn thanks Fabio ( best skipper or at least he says he is :) ) will be coming back to extend my knowhow of sailing
