Professional sailing yacht skipper and charter concierge, helping you plan and enjoy a safe, relaxed sailing holiday in Croatia.
I work with charter guests at different stages of their planning process ā from choosing the right sailing yacht and charter base to skippering the boat during their holiday.
Whether you already have a yacht booked or are still deciding, my goal is to make your sailing experience in Croatia simple, safe and stress-free.
For guests who prefer a fully supported onboard experience, a skipper and hostess option is also available.


Charter Yacht Skipper Specialized in Sailing Yachts
I specialize in skippering sailing yachts (monohulls and catamarans) for charter guests in Croatia.
My work is focused on proper yacht handling, sailing decisions, marina manoeuvres and adapting each day to weather conditions and crew preferences.
I do not offer bareboat charter or yacht rentals ā I work exclusively as a professional skipper.
Charter Skipper Support ā Before and During Your Sailing Holiday
Many guests contact me before they have chosen a yacht or charter company.

Wir hatten einen wunderschƶnen und entspannten Segelurlaub, der vor allem dank unseres erfahrenen Skippers Boris unvergesslich wurde. Er hat uns zu traumhaften Buchten mit klarem Wasser geführt, in denen sich sogar unsere Kinder noch im Herbst austoben konnten. Unser Skipper hat die Route den teilweise rauen WetterverhƤltnissen angepasst und ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Für uns Erholung pur. Vielen Dank für diese groĆartige Erfahrung! Wir kƶnnen diese Segeltour mit Boris nur wƤrmstens empfehlen!Posted on Louise Seymour16/12/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Boris was our amazing skipper for our week in Croatia. He knew some pretty cool spots to stop anchor and showed us around some of the towns. We loved having him on our trip and hope he enjoyed our company just as much.

You will enjiy whit them !Posted on Yannick Hüsler20/07/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure to have Boris as our skipper on our one week cruise aboard a lagoon 40 catamaran and everything was excellent! From the time of check-in until we checked-out, Boris made sure everything went smoothly. He is a very experienced skipper and as we not only wanted to relax the whole week (which we still were able to do) but also learn more about ocean sailing, Boris was happy to teach us and share his experience. He knows the croatian coast extremely well becaue he has been sailing there for a long time, he was able to show us beautiful spots and locations, that were also less crowded! And lastly, Boris is a super sympathic person and having him on board for the week was also a personal pleasure! Thank you fot ecerything Boris!Posted on Zoltan Karandi19/07/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the first time we spent the summer vacation on a boat as a family. Boris Kovacic was our skipper and guide for a week on the sea. It was very easy to get on well with him. He has a good personality and speaks English well. We could also observe his local knowledge and most importantly his sailing skills. He definitely contributed to the success of our first sailing experience which I rate 10/10. Thanks a lot Boris! I hope we meet again on the sea next year P.s. pls see a photo he made about my jumping son.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

about me
Skipper service, boat delivery, transfers
My name is Boris I am skilled skipper with a lifetime of experience in sailing and tourism. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a fun trip with a small group of up to 8 people, I’ve got you covered. As your skipper, I’ll make sure you have a great experience on the water.
I grew up along the stunning coast of Montenegro, where my love for the sea and boating began at an early age. My passion for sailing started with small sailboats and evolved into a rewarding career as a watersports instructor and base leader in the Maldives and Egypt. Witnessing the devastating impact of the tsunami was a life-changing experience that led me to relocate to Pula on Croatiaās picturesque coast to pursue a freelance skipper career.
During the summer months, I work as a yacht skipper, guiding unforgettable journeys across the Adriatic. For the rest of the year, I specialize in yacht transfers and deliveries, ensuring vessels reach their destinations safely and efficiently. Being on the water feels like second natureāit’s truly my element.
Enjoy the perfect blend of sailing, snorkeling, hiking, savoring local cuisine, peaceful evenings, and stunning sunsets. As an expert in sailing and anchoring, I always go the extra mile to avoid crowded charter routes, overpriced marinas, and busy buoy fields. Instead, I seek out quiet, secluded anchorages where you can truly unwind. This not only reduces costs but also enhances your relaxation and provides a unique, memorable experience.
Rest assured, I prioritize your privacy and ensure that your time with me remains completely discreet and comfortable.
