Professional Yacht Skipper

Sailing to Dharma is my professional and personal sailing project — a platform where I document real life at sea while working as a yacht skipper.

I operate in charter environments, private ownership support and offshore yacht deliveries. My focus is on seamanship, responsibility and calm decision-making in all conditions.

The project reflects not only miles sailed, but the discipline and accountability that come with professional skippering.

Sailing & Land Exploration

Sailing

Sailing can be many things — relaxation, adventure, sport, or work.
I’ll handle the work, so you can simply enjoy the unforgettable moments.

Day sailing or weekly tours

Day sailing is perfect for absolutely everyone — especially for beginners who aren’t yet sure what to expect from life at sea.

Day sailing includes all shorter trips, usually one, two, or three days.
Anything longer is considered a weekly sailing trip.

During a day sailing experience, you can enjoy everything you would on a week-long journey — just in a shorter, more relaxed version.

We’ll plan the route together according to your wishes, and I’ll prepare the itinerary and all the details that make it feel like a luxury experience.

Day sailing is also a great choice for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, engagements, honeymoons, anniversaries, or even team-building events.

For more options and information, check the Saltyweek page. 

You have your own route but need a skipper?

Sometimes a group of passionate sailors comes together — but they’re missing a skipper.
That’s where I come in: I blend into your crew and take you to the destinations you wish to explore.

A skipper’s skill isn’t just about safe maneuvering — it’s also about connecting with people and creating the right atmosphere.
Sometimes I’m completely invisible, just letting you enjoy your company; other times, I’m the one leading the fun.
In any case, you’re the guests — the important ones. 

As for the route, it’s the same as with organized sailings: we’ll talk about your wishes, and I’ll create an itinerary based on the weather and available time.

Booking your skipper is simple — just contact me through the form and fill out the crew list with my details as your skipper.
Let the charter company know that you already have your chosen skipper, and I’ll make sure you get a discount.

Need a transfer for your Yacht?

For longer crossings or extended voyages, yacht owners often don’t have enough time — or simply don’t feel like making the passage themselves.
I completely understand. With pleasure and full responsibility, I’ll deliver your yacht safely to any destination you choose. 

For multi-day crossings, a qualified crew is required — I’ll organize and prepare the entire team for the journey.
It’s also essential to provide enough food and drinks for the crew for the duration of the passage.

All decisions regarding the start and course of the voyage are in my hands.
I’ll plan the route carefully according to weather conditions and timing, and ensure your yacht arrives safely at its destination. Just click here, and we’ll talk.

Land Exploration

When I’m not at sea, I love to travel by land as well.
With my camper van, I often set out to explore unknown places — and I’m always happy to invite others to join me on the journey.

Daily Tours in Slovenia

Slovenia is full of beautiful places that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
It offers everything — from delicious local cuisine and refreshing mountain rivers, to scenic hikes through breathtaking landscapes and thrilling adrenaline experiences.

On day trips, it’s possible to combine several activities, depending on how much time we have.
Culinary experiences or wine tastings are always included.

If you’d like to enjoy more activities or take your time exploring, you can book a multi-day trip — or even an adventure with a camper van.

In this selection of daily tours, you can choose between one-day, two-day, or three-day trips — each offering its own unique experience. Ask me about this option.

Tours with a Camper Van

With a camper van, we can travel all across Slovenia — stopping at scenic parking spots along the way.
For overnight stays, however, we need to find places that allow camping, such as auto camps, official motorhome parking areas, or private land (with prior agreement).

Traveling by camper van is exciting and gives a true sense of freedom.
Even though Slovenia is a small country, a camper van is the perfect way to explore it.

It’s not only about enjoyment, though — it also takes some planning and awareness if you want to travel safely and sleep comfortably.
Slovenia is a very safe country, but sleeping in unauthorized areas is not allowed.

If you wish to spend the night in truly unique places, you’ll need to put in some effort — finding those hidden spots and getting permission to stay there.

But you can always contact me, and I’ll take care of some of the work for you.

Blogging & Storytelling

Blogging

Blogging may not be as popular as it once was — fewer people read blogs these days — but it still plays an important role in the digital world.
Blogs help you build visibility and recognition online, giving your brand a stronger presence and authenticity.

Blogging about sailing and skipper life

I love writing about sailing and everything connected to it.
Here, I share my thoughts about boats, maintenance, life at sea, and what it truly means to work as a skipper.

Since I’m a skipper myself, I get to write from real, personal experience — and that gives my blogs genuine value and authenticity.

In this field, I also teach beginner sailors — sharing advice, practical tips, and a different perspective on sailing.

Blogging in this field is quite widespread and brings real advantages — from promoting yacht sales and charter businesses to boosting tourism and hospitality.

So… do you see why blogging still matters?

Blogging about personal growth

This topic truly speaks to me.
Through growing up and facing life’s challenges, I’ve learned a lot about emotions, behavior, and how we respond in different situations.
Personal growth is, after all, the process of learning through life’s journey — and it fits beautifully with the idea behind Sailing to Dharma.

Psychology and well-being play the most important roles in our lives — they shape who we are, how we make decisions, and how we feel love, anger, or sadness.

With my blogs in this field, I want to inspire people toward a better tomorrow — to help them become aware of who they are and where they are in life.
From that point on, we can start building our future.

Self-awareness, and above all, self-respect, are the keys.

I’m a living example that you can build a happy life from nothing — and to me, success isn’t measured by money or career,
but by the happiness a person feels.
That’s what true success means.

Writing for others

Blogging is important — both for personal growth and for business.
Since many entrepreneurs and company owners don’t have the time to write blogs themselves, and hiring a full-time writer often isn’t cost-effective, the best and most efficient solution is to work with a freelancer.

I’m happy to write blogs for your industry, even if it’s different from my own.
I approach every topic with research, authenticity, and my personal writing style — creating content that feels human and relatable.

And if you happen to come from one of the industries I already write about, then we’re already on the same wavelength — so you can stop thinking and just click here to get in touch — or simply scroll through my blogs.

Content Creation & Digital Media

Content Creation

Yes, I see myself here too.
I enjoy creating stories — through words, photos, or videos.
When all these pieces come together, they form something beautiful — a story that connects and inspires.

Photography & Video

With the help of different tools, I try to capture moments — and then shape them into photos or videos that tell a story.
It takes time to turn a fleeting movement, a single step, into something people can truly see and feel.

Showing others what our eyes perceive — and evoking the same emotions we feel when witnessing a scene — that’s the real art behind it.

Storytelling

Storytelling isn’t just about blogging — it’s also about creating texts for websites, media channels, video scripts, and much more.

With modern AI tools, we can easily create all of this and save a lot of time.
But something is always missing — the breath of human emotion and simple human thought.

When we combine both — technology and the human touch — the result can be truly powerful.
Of course, that also requires knowing how to use these tools properly, and I’ve been working with them for quite some time.

Digital Media

When working with visual creations such as photos, videos, or reels, it’s important to know in advance how you’re going to use them.
That requires two things — knowledge of digital media, and an understanding of how it affects the viewer.

Websites & Branding

Creating a website takes time — it requires structure, organization, and attention to detail.
Before starting any project, I always talk with the client to understand their style, ideas, and the purpose of their website.

From there, I create a layout (a wireframe) to get a clear picture of how the site will look and feel.
Next comes writing the content and preparing the visual material — only then does the actual design and development begin.

When it comes to branding, it’s important to understand that colors and fonts can easily become overwhelming if not used with intention.
In this case, less is more.

I love creating my own authentic icons and logos — both for my personal brand and for clients who appreciate originality and meaning.

Social Media & Marketing

Social media is a powerful tool — it’s designed to capture your attention and keep you scrolling for hours.
That’s exactly how advertisers reach their audiences — and it’s also your opportunity to show up, to let people discover you while they scroll.

Sure, you can do that with a big budget — but with effort, creativity, and consistency, you can achieve just as much.
You don’t need thousands of euros to grow your presence — just regular, authentic, and active engagement.

No time for that? No worries — that’s where I come in to help.

Collaboration & Boplo Media

Content creation and digital marketing are broad fields — and that’s why I don’t work alone in this area.
I collaborate with talented people from different backgrounds, each bringing their own unique skills and perspectives.

We divide the work based on our strengths and, in the end, create a finished product under one shared name.
The company we work through is BoPlo Media — feel free to explore our website and see what we create together.
