Makarov Roman Nikolayevich

14 years ago I took the LWB GUU Executive MBA course. One of the training modules was held as part of the yacht regatta in Croatia. In the afternoon we competed, and in the evening we listened to the wisdom and knowledge of the business guru.

That week changed my life forever! In addition to making many personal discoveries, meeting interesting people and making new friends, I fell ill with yachting!

I immediately decided to go to study yacht management. I graduated from skipper school and in the spring of next year I went with my team to the first regatta. Since then, as much as possible, I have been going to regattas and hiking all the time. I have already gained tremendous experience. From the northern seas to New Zealand. Each trip or regatta is filled with discoveries, new friends, fantastic landscapes and, of course, the brightest emotions. The sea wind, the sun and the elements of the sea fill with energy and joy! It's a real high!!

I invite you to go in any of the selected options, be it a regatta, an active cultural and historical excursion or just relax, in all cases this is an unforgettable ecstasy of freedom and high!

Call us, we will tell you in detail.

Your future journey!

Australia on Sailing Catamaran + Land Program 1-19 April 2023

€11,800 per person

Australia is an amazing country that hides its secrets in the far southern hemisphere. Winter is summer, summer is winter, although in the European sense, the change of seasons in Australia is also a rather conditional concept. Many things are arranged differently here, many things seem unusual, ranging from sudden changes in the natural landscape and ending with unexpected encounters with exotic animals. Only in the morning you enjoyed the soft sand on the beaches of the Gold Coast, and in the evening you meet a fantastic sunset against the background of the unearthly landscape of the red desert of Ayers Rock. And, probably, you will be very surprised to meet on the way to the next excursion a family of curious kangaroos or prickly platypus, hiding in the bend of the stream. The flora and fauna of Australia is unique, as 80% of the species are found nowhere else in the world. You can explore Australia endlessly, and there will never come a time when you can confidently say that you have seen everything in Australia and know everything about it. Each time it will reveal more and more secrets to you. Australia is a unique country in many respects, which amazes even experienced travelers. The locals are true patriots of their country.
