The One Who Actually Runs Things

Maja Kundih

Chief Everything Officer & Supreme Commander

While Mario thinks he's in charge of the sailing academy, everyone knows who really calls the shots. With an unmatched ability to coordinate chaos, manage schedules that would make a NASA engineer cry, and the supernatural power to find things Mario has "definitely not lost," Maja is the invisible force keeping this ship from sinking. She doesn't need 50,000 nautical miles — she has something far more powerful: the family WhatsApp group admin rights.

What Our Students Say

Dreams come true, and only in one week you become from 0 to hero. I received a lot of useful information, and now I know how to use this knowledge being a self-confident skipper.
DK
Dmitrijus Kurejevas Lithuania
The one week course prepared me perfectly for my charter as well as providing the required qualification. Mario's enthusiasm, knowledge and skill as a sailor is inspirational. I cannot thank him and the team enough for what I have learnt.
SJ
Simon Jones Australia
Repeated docking drills were just what I needed. I appreciated the chance to do things again and again until it 'clicked' with coaching along the way. I feel much more confident since the course and can't wait to get back on the water.
RB
Rebecca Bell United Kingdom
Mario was not only a good teacher/skipper but also a great tour guide full of helpful tips. After a surprisingly short time, everybody was able to handle the catamaran like a pro within the harbor and outside at sea. My full recommendation.
FG
Felix Gaul Germany
It was a very intensive week which prepared me much better than just passing an exam. Beyond becoming a certified skipper it provided the means and experience to enjoy sailing in a safe and relaxed way.
M
Mattias Luxembourg
Never been sailing before. After one week intense Skipper course I was able to charter a 49ft sailboat on my own and have a great summer vacation with my family. Very professional, experienced instructor and nice friendly person.

Our teacher was Mario. It was absolutely great and fabulous time! We got a licence, but most important is we got knowledge how to drive a boat, courage and confidence to park in the Marina. Mario is a great Skipper and Teacher!
