--- title: "About us" description: "An independent guide to sailing in Croatia, checked by named people. Every fact shows its source and check date, and any sailor can tell us what changed." url: https://olasail.com/about/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- > The Markdown copy of https://olasail.com/about/, from OlaSail, a planning reference for sailing in Croatia, not for navigation. Every page: https://olasail.com/llms.txt # About OlaSail OlaSail is an independent guide to sailing in Croatia. We publish a fact only once we have checked it, and each one shows its source and the date. We cover routes, islands, bays and the places to stay the night: marinas, town quays (a town's public harbour wall), mooring buoys, anchorages and restaurants with a berth. We write for crews planning a charter week, and for the same crews on the boat, looking for tonight's mooring. Published 7 Oct 2026. Written by [Domagoj Franc](https://olasail.com/about/people/domagoj-franc/), editor.

On this page On this page - Who keeps OlaSail - Why we made it - What you will find here - What it is not - Your data and our photos - More about us ## Who keeps OlaSail OlaSail is published by Zukunft d.o.o., a company in Zagreb; its details are in the [legal notice](https://olasail.com/legal-notice/). Every page has a named editor, who writes it and checks each fact with its source. Pages about weather, anchoring, safety and routes also have a named skipper reviewer. When a sailor tells us what changed, we check it before the page changes. Today one editor checks every fact, one skipper reviewer reads every safety page, there are no area stewards yet, and any sailor can tell us what changed. Each page names its editor and, where it matters, its skipper reviewer, in the credits under its trust summary. Their profiles, [the editor's](https://olasail.com/about/people/domagoj-franc/) and [the skipper reviewer's](https://olasail.com/about/people/ivor-benko/), list the facts they look after and any ties they have. [People](https://olasail.com/about/people/) [Help keep it right](https://olasail.com/about/contribute/) ## Why we made it Sailors ask the same questions every season. Do we need a licence? Where can we stay tonight, and what will it cost? Is this bay safe if the wind turns? The answers are spread across forums, old blog posts and charter company PDFs. Prices, buoy fields and rules change. Without a source and check date, it is hard to tell whether an answer is current. OlaSail puts those answers in one place and shows how fresh each one is. ## What you will find here - [Routes](https://olasail.com/routes/) Week-long routes, day by day, with where to sleep, what it costs and a Plan B for each night. - [Places](https://olasail.com/places/) Islands, towns and bays, and who each one suits. - [Moorings](https://olasail.com/moorings/) Marinas, town quays, buoy fields and anchorages, with the fee, the season and who runs them. - [Guides](https://olasail.com/guides/) The questions to answer before you book: [licences](https://olasail.com/croatia/licences/), [costs](https://olasail.com/charter/cost/), [the best time to sail](https://olasail.com/croatia/best-time-to-sail/) and [the anchoring rules](https://olasail.com/moorings/anchoring-rules-and-fees/). - [Journal](https://olasail.com/journal/) Dated reports on what changed, with the evidence: new rules from the official texts, the official port figures and what we checked. - Where we start [Central Dalmatia](https://olasail.com/places/central-dalmatia/), the islands around [Split](https://olasail.com/places/split/). We add an area only after we have checked it. ## What it is not Not for navigation Our maps are not charts, our distances are rounded and our shelter notes are not forecasts. [Safety and limits](https://olasail.com/about/safety/) Not copied from apps We never copy records from other guides, apps or directories. Each fact names its source: the operator, an official source, our own visit or measurement, or a sailor who was there, or, when none of those publishes it, a named third party. It shows [the label for where it comes from](https://olasail.com/about/how-we-check/#labels). [How we check facts](https://olasail.com/about/how-we-check/) Not a social network No comments, likes, followers or messages. Sailors help by reporting what changed, and an editor checks it with the source before the page changes. [Help keep it right](https://olasail.com/about/contribute/) ## Your data and our photos You can read every page without an account. We count visits with Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, and Cloudflare Web Analytics, only if you say yes to Analytics in the cookie banner.
