Why Choose Us?

Adriatic Nautical Academy has been synonymous with the culture and tradition of sailing since its founding in 1988. Along with the establishment of the first commercial marinas in Croatia, the program’s founders recognized the need for formal education for Life style sailors and chose Jezera, on the island of Murter, as the perfect location for the Academy’s base.

The archipelago of this stunning location allows us to fall in love with sailing, time and time again. In addition to the well-known beauty of Dalmatia, here you’ll soon discover the expertise and dedication of instructors who love and protect this region, and don’t be surprised if you end up taking a large part of that love with you.
