The rhythm of the week
How the week unfolds
This is a full week on board — from Saturday evening to the following Saturday morning. We do not rush into the sea. We begin by settling in, meeting each other and becoming a crew.
01
Saturday — Arrival & settling in
Arrival is from 18:00 in Šimuni on Pag. You settle into one of the three shared cabins, meet the crew, get familiar with the boat and ease into the week.
02
Sunday — Weather, roles & first manoeuvres
After 09:00, we prepare to leave the marina. We check the weather, discuss the possible route, assign basic roles and start with safety, boat routines, steering, lines and simple manoeuvres.
03
Monday — Building the basics
We continue with hands-on sailing, sail handling, trimming, movement on deck, anchoring basics and the rhythm of life on board.
04
Tuesday — Seamanship in practice
Depending on conditions, we focus on docking, anchoring, manoeuvring under engine, reefing, boat systems or longer sailing legs.
05
Wednesday — Planning the route
By midweek, the crew becomes more involved in reading the weather, choosing safe options and planning the route based on wind, conditions and the energy on board.
05
Thursday — Bringing it together
More responsibility goes to the crew: steering, sail trim, anchoring, navigation, decisions on board and working together calmly as a small team.
05
Friday & Saturday — Return & closing
We return to the marina on Friday around 18:00. The final evening is for dinner, reflection and closing the week. Check-out from the boat is on Saturday by 09:00.

Where we begin
A small marina on Pag. A quieter start.
We start from the small boutique marina of Šimuni on the island of Pag — about one hour from Zadar Airport, but at least a day away from the charter crowds.
From here, we sail through a wilder side of the Adriatic: raw islands, quiet bays, clear water and real sailing conditions. Kornati, Telašćica and Krka National Parks are nearby, while the Lošinj archipelago, known for its healing climate since 1889, lies in front of us.
The exact route is shaped by wind and weather — and that becomes part of the learning process.
Whether you are completely new to sailing or already know a few knots, we start from where you are. The learning is adapted to the crew, then built step by step through real sailing, calm guidance and practical experience.

Meet your skipper
Hi, I'm Gregor
the founder and skipper behind Lazy Tackers.
What started as casual sailing trips with friends slowly turned into something bigger. Over the years, more and more people asked to join, learn, and experience sailing beyond a typical holiday.
Lazy Tackers grew from that idea: sharing the skills, confidence and freedom that sailing can bring.

Testimonials
Before Lazy Tackers became a business, these sailing weeks existed for years among friends, colleagues and fellow sailing enthusiasts.
“Crossing the Kvarner the day after a storm-force easterly was both a challenge and something deeply beautiful. With big waves, wind, and the helm fully trusted to me, I felt safe, present, and alive.
It brought back feelings from my childhood — pure joy, trust, and connection with the sea. Some experiences stay with you forever. This was one of them.
