A family-run nautical school since 1993

Three generations of experience, theory preparation and individual practical training come together around one clear goal: safer people at sea.

Harbour with small boats

A story that began in 1993

Krešimir Merčep’s parents founded Didakta plus d.o.o. in 1993 to provide nautical courses. The work later continued through Nautika klub and today’s company Nautika klub d.o.o.

The official website lists approximately 60 dates each year and around one thousand new boaters completing programs annually. Most courses are held in Zagreb, with additional organisation in coastal cities.

Theory and practice

Theory courses are led by Ivan Merčep and Vedran Čerber. Individual practical training is led by Iva Nikolina Merčep, the third generation of the family business.

Nautika klub provides nautical education, practical motorboat training and an additional selection of nautical charts and publications.
