Embark with Maïté - Skipper Croatia

The skipper

Embark with Maïté - Destination Croatia for a sailing cruise

"Since you can't change the direction of the wind, you have to learn to set your sails. "(James Dean)

I started by doing sport sailing and then I rediscovered boating. Rediscovered, because my grandfather spent all summer on his boat in Croatia, and me with.
I then joined the association of a skipper friend (Women for Sea) and did some sailing as a second in command (cetacean counts, multidisciplinary expeditions on board, eco-navigation).
When I moved to Croatia, I continued to sail and met many professionals of the nautical industry. I was often asked to be a skipper. I finally took the plunge, trained for the job and got my license, to my great joy!

I have the impression that people are intrigued and impressed. A woman and a skipper is still unusual in people's minds.

I also hike! For the rest, you will have 1 week to learn more :)

Life on a journey

There are so many of them! Very often I take families. We live together for a week, sometimes more. These are very rich human encounters, especially with the children.
I think the first drawing of me that I received from a little sailor has a special place in my heart ♥

Smiling and relaxed customers at the end of the stay!

When it comes to sailing vacations, I like to share my taste for slow tourism with the crew.
Croatia, with its thousand islands and islets, its countless bays and picturesque little ports with a Mediterranean lifestyle, lends itself perfectly to this.
Apart from the frenzy of July and August, you can enjoy a timeless experience, taste the gastronomy made of good handicrafts and let yourself be won over by the ancestral Dalmatian art of rest: the fjaka. For those who are interested in the environment and its preservation, I always try to strive for an eco-navigation and I am always happy to share my tips and thoughts in this area.
I am also a regatta fan, so if the crew is interested, we choose competitors who sail in the same direction as us and we optimize the maneuvers!
