Koper (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈkoːpəɾ] ( listen)) (Italian: Capodistria) is a city in southwestern Slovenia, with the other Slovenian coastal towns Ankaran, Izola, Piran, and Portorož, situated along the country's 47-kilometre (29-mile) coastline, in the Istrian Region, approximately five kilometres (3.1 miles) from its border with Italy. Having a unique ecology and biodiversity, it is considered an important national natural resource. The city's Port of Koper is the major contributor to the economy of the eponymous city municipality. With only one percent of Slovenia having a coastline, the influence that the Port of Koper also has on tourism was a factor in Ankaran deciding to leave the municipality in a referendum in 2011 to establish its own. The city is a destination on a number of Mediterranean cruising lines. In 2016, the city expects 65 cruise ship arrivals (for example: Norwegian Spirit, MSC Magnifica, Norwegian Jade, MS Rhapsody of the Seas...) with the season spanning from March to December. Koper is the main urban centre of the Slovenian Istria, with a population of about 25,000.

Our goal is your smile! And how do we get that? Very easily! With the help of the water, joy and a little of your effort. On the SUP we show you how to relax and be active at the same time. As we make a "walk" on the water, we feel closer to nature and watch the beach from a different perspective, as usual.

My name is Peter and I will be your fishing guide, captain, professor of history on board. I started fishing as a child and have grown up to be a passionate fisher and fishing teacher. In all these years, I have learned many tricks how to catch fish and enjoy the day.
