Guided Land Tours
I also lead land-based tours in Slovenia for small groups. Focused on local experiences, nature, and authenticity.
Blogging
I write about sailing, travel, and the journey of self-discovery. I write blogs in two main areas:
Sailing & Skipper’s Life
Stories from the sea, practical tips, and real experiences from life on board. A mix of destinations, challenges, and the everyday reality of being a skipper.
Personal Growth
Reflections and lessons that sailing and travel bring into everyday life. Insights on freedom, resilience, and finding balance.

I also write guest articles and blog posts for websites, brands, and destinations. Content can be tailored for storytelling or SEO, helping you connect with readers while improving visibility online.

Photo, video, storytelling for brands, crews, and destinations. Authentic, minimalist, sea-first.

Where do trips happen?
Mostly the Mediterranean (Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro), with plans to expand when the time is right.
What is Saltyweek?
Saltyweek is the operational part of my work — organized sailing weeks where you can join a crew and explore the Mediterranean. It’s adventure, connection, and freedom on the water.
What’s the difference between Sailing to Dharma and Saltyweek?
Sailing to Dharma is the story and creative project. Saltyweek is the operational part — actual sailing weeks you can join.
Can I hire you just as a skipper?
Yes. Private trips and yacht deliveries are available depending on schedule and season. Check Booking plan or visit saltyweek.
Do you also do media projects?
Yes — together with my team at BoPlo Media we create websites, branding, videos, and photography for creators, adventurers, and small businesses.

This option is currently open to everyone who aligns with the project’s spirit and values.
In the future, this opportunity will be available exclusively to Patreon members, as part of a more personal and sustainable community model.

Not at all. Whether it’s Saltyweek or Sailing to Dharma, curiosity and respect for the sea are enough — everything else you learn along the way.

Each trip includes everything needed for a complete and comfortable sailing experience — so you can simply arrive, relax, and enjoy the sea.

What should I pack for a sailing week?
Packing for a sailing trip is all about keeping it simple and practical — space onboard is limited, and comfort is key.
Soft bags are always better than hard suitcases, and lightweight, quick-dry clothes will make life at sea much easier.
Is there Wi-Fi on board?
Yes, there’s usually Wi-Fi available in marinas and close to shore, but once we sail out, connection can be limited or disappear completely.
Think of it as a perfect chance to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with what really matters — the wind, the sea, and real conversations.
How dates, payments and cancellations work
Booking dates are confirmed once your deposit is received.
A deposit secures your spot and covers initial costs for the sailboat and crew.
The remaining balance is due before departure (usually 30 days prior).
If you need to cancel:
- Cancellations made more than 60 days before departure can be refunded (minus the deposit).
- Cancellations within 60 days are non-refundable, but you may transfer your spot to another person.
All details are outlined in our official Terms & Conditions, which apply to every booking.
How do I book?
Booking is easy — To book a trip, simply complete the online booking form and follow the payment instructions in the confirmation email.
Once your deposit is received, your spot is confirmed and you’ll get a detailed trip guide with everything you need to prepare.
You can read more about payments and cancellations in our Terms & Conditions.
