Zagreb, Croatia
Zagreb may sit 170 kilometres from the nearest coastline, but Croatia’s capital is home to a significant community of seafarers, maritime professionals, and aspiring yacht crew who spend their shore leave or off-contract periods inland. Rather than requiring them to travel to the coast for every certification, Adria Libar brings essential training to the capital.
Our Zagreb classroom is located at Zaharova ulica 7, in a central and well-connected part of the city — easily reachable by tram, bus, or car, with parking nearby. Zagreb Airport offers international connections across Europe, and the city sits at the hub of Croatia’s motorway network, with Rijeka under two hours to the southwest and the Dalmatian coast reachable via the A1 motorway.
Between sessions, Zagreb offers a completely different flavour to our coastal centres — from the Upper Town’s cobbled streets and café culture to the vibrant Dolac market, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and a thriving food and nightlife scene that gives trainees plenty of reasons to enjoy their time in the capital.
Essential Certifications for STCW and Yachting
Zagreb brings key maritime certifications closer to seafarers based in the capital region. Complete a course between contracts without the time or cost of travelling to the coast.
The selection focuses on qualifications most commonly needed: STCW Basic Safety Training, Security Awareness and Security Duties certification, Yacht Master Category A, and Boat Leader Licence courses in Categories B and C. Every course carries the same accreditations as our coastal centres.
Training Facilities in Zagreb
A dedicated classroom equipped with modern AV and instructional technology, supporting courses from single-day security certifications to multi-week Basic Safety Training and Yacht Master programmes.
Every certificate issued in Zagreb carries identical international recognition to those from our coastal centres. For courses requiring simulator time or waterfront practical exercises, our team can schedule you into sessions at Šibenik, Zadar, Rijeka, or Split.
