Maja: Skipper & Founder

BRIGHTON / UK. Behind sailgoddess is Maja Jordan – a skipper who manages the project from her base in the UK and actively implements it as a skipper in the Adriatic. With the renowned RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and over 10,000 nautical miles in her logbook, Jordan represents a sailing culture that combines professional craftsmanship and safety with a clear goal: empowerment.

Regional Expertise, British Profession

Born in Slovenia and raised on the Adriatic, Maja Jordan has known the region, its language, and local structures since her youth. This background serves as a strategic anchor for on-site logistics and communication. Her path was one of deliberate professionalization: starting from early roles in service, she evolved through international yacht deliveries to become an experienced skipper. For over 20 years, Jordan has lived in the UK, where she solidified this expertise according to rigorous British training standards.

Empowerment Through Educational Expertise

Maja Jordan is an expert in empowerment at sea. What sets her apart from other skippers is her extensive background in education and social work. This pedagogical foundation allows Jordan to adapt individually to different learning styles and break down barriers that women often experience in a male-dominated environment. For Jordan, empowerment is the key to the entire project: it is about creating a safe space where women can build their confidence at the helm step-by-step through specific daily tasks.

Focus: Safety and Empowerment

Under Maja Jordan’s leadership, sailgoddess is no ordinary charter holiday. It is a space where integrity and professional excellence set the tone. The goal is not just to teach women how to sail, but to enable them to take true leadership at sea through a combination of nautical precision and psychological insight – a direct response to often outdated role models in yachting.
