Sail with us!
We believe sailing is an outdoor activity that anyone can enjoy, no matter the age or fitness. It’s always fun and afterwards there are always stories to tell, sometimes even true!
Discover the beauty of sailing or fall deeper in love with the wind and the sea joining the Sailing Tribe. Experience 1st time sailing aboard legendary HIR 3, hone your sail trimming & racing skills or dare to sail offshore with Saša Fegić, the man who sailed the world.
A boat with history and a skipper with the story.
This is likely the most experienced skipper + sailboat combo you can find. Between them, Saša and HIR 3 have over 70 years of sailing experience, more than 150.000 miles in the wake and a whole lot of stories to tell.
With 2 circumnavigations and +100.000 miles in her wake, HIR 3 is likely one of the most experienced sailboats around the Adriatic. Rescuing that boat and restoring her to sail around the world again has proven to be one of the most captivating stories, which put Saša Fegić and his upcoming book in the spotlight.
Dare to sail further!

Cruising
Well, this is not really a cruise, attending a formal schedule and stopping at designated ports, but rather crewing HIR 3 that is sailing from one regatta to another.
We’re sailing casually along Adriatic coast toward a heading port and stopping overnight at whatever island is in sight at the dusk.
If you are our Patron, you’re welcome to hop aboard and sail for free…
DAY SAILING Experience
New Crew Welcome
While we are at berth in Mali Lošinj or elsewhere, we often take a chance to sail out for a day or half-a-day. If there’s any wind, we’ll probably be out there, searching for the breeze and the best spot to take a dip.
Join us aboard HIR 3 to learn a trick or two at trimming sheets or simply to discover the beauty of sailing under full sails, if you never sailed before. No sailing experience required!
There is no particular schedule. Just stop by the boat and ask about the forecast for tomorrow!

FAQ
I have no experience. Can I go sailing with you ?
Yes. We will welcome you aboard and combine you with people who can sail, so you can pick a thing or two if you want to. Maybe you decide you like sailing and want to learn more of it. 🙂
What equipment do I need for sailing?
That very much depends on the type of sailing you are joining and the season – equipment for offshore off-season is somewhat more demanding than summertime day sailing. 🙂 A tophat, sunscreen, Windstopper and solid shoes/sneakers are always a good start. Water and food as well. Prior to boarding, you will get a short list of essential items to bring aboard, so you don’t come overloaded.
Do I need to bring a lifejacket?
Most of the sailing that we do is inshore and does not require life jackets. However, HIR 3 is well equipped with safety gear, including life jackets and a life raft.
Offshore is a different story – sailing high seas at night requires wearing a life jacket, so for offshore sailing, it is recommended to bring your own life jacket.
How can I buy a ticket?
We are non-commercial crew and we do not sell tickets nor run excursions on a set schedule. So, there are no tickets to be purchased.
You are welcome to sail with us if you are a member of our Sailing Tribe. You can join the Tribe by being our sponsor, supporter or Patron.
Can I book in advance?
Yes, you can sign up in advance to crew HIR 3 on one of the upcoming regatta, transfers or day sailing trips.
Members of Sailing Tribe get regular notifications of our plans and are welcome to crew the boat. Sign up for our Newslettera and/or join our Sailing Tribe via Patreon.
What if it rains?
Well, it is not the rain, but the wind that we depend on. Too much wind or complete lack of it can really kill the fun and it’s the wind forecast that we look at. If it rains, we put on foul weather suits and sail on. Especially if we’re in the middle of a route. However, if the crew does not feel like sailing in foul weather, an agreement can be made to stay ashore.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
