What is Silén Brothers Coaching?
In 2017, Victor and Oliver Silén founded a company through which they billed for their coaching and organized physical training for sailing juniors. Since then, Victor has graduated with a master's degree in engineering and has moved on to work in his own field, but Oliver continues to operate with even more determination.
The goal is to share the joy of sailing with as many people as possible, and make it as cheap and easy as possible to learn to sail. Our services include beginner and intermediate sailing courses, weekly training groups, sailing trips, private cruises, corporate events and boat sharing. Check out our services here.
Our story
I am Oliver Silén, a 25 year old recently graduated entrepreneur and former elite athlete. In 2023, from February to the end of June, I was on exchange in Milan. July is known not to be the best time to start summer jobs, so it seemed more appealing to create the job myself. I have experience in sales, entrepreneurship and coaching, so organizing sailing courses and events seemed like a natural choice. The fact that my dad already had a suitable boat made starting a lot easier. Role models of entrepreneurship can be found in the family, as both my parents are entrepreneurs. You can often find me helping my mom in Kukkakauppa Stenius before festivities.
In 2024, 227 people spent a total of 750 sessions sailing with us. Now the business has expanded with a couple of boat sharing boats and the plan is to bring the joy of sailing to even more people, with even better quality.
Below is a short history of my sailing and work experience.
