Gideon

Deni was born in 1995 and lives on the island of Ugljan. After graduating from the Maritime School in Zadar, majoring in marine engineering, and completing his cadetship on ocean going vessels, he decided to pursue his passion for working on yachts.

He spent several seasons working as an engineer on yachts in Croatia before moving to Monaco five years ago, where he continued his career in the same role aboard superyachts. Driven by the desire to return home and start his own business, he passed his captain's examination and, together with his family, bought the gulet Gideon, where he now serves as captain.

Deni is an ambitious, highly responsible, and very professional. A strong team player and excellent communicator, he ensures guests feel safe and relaxed at all times. He treats every guest with the utmost professionalism, always ready to listen to their wishes and tailor the voyage to create an unforgettable experience at sea.

He was born on the island of Ugljan in 1978. After graduating from high school for chefs in Zadar he worked for years as a chef in hotels and restaurants throughout Dalmatia. Love took him to Zagreb, where he has been living for the last 8 years. During those 8 years he worked professionally in top level hotels and well known restaurants in Zagreb.

However, since his love for the sea is still strong, two years ago he decided to try his luck on yachts and that's how he came to Gideon. Marin is highly regarded by guests and receives great reviews and praise from them. All guests are delighted with his dishes. Marin cooks traditional Dalmatian dishes with a touch of modernity, which he introduces through various spices and the presentation of the dishes on the plate.

Šime was born in 1992, also on the island of Ugljan. After finishing high school he devoted himself to catering. He has many years of experience working as a waiter in restaurants, both on the island of Ugljan and abroad, in Ireland and the USA. Two years ago, he decided to share his knowledge and experience with us and go to sea and sail with Gideon. Šime is maximally dedicated to his work. As a world traveler, he handles languages very well. He is very active and pays attention to details.

Šime is open in his communication with guests and they gladly accept him into their company to tell them about life in Croatia. He gets great reviews from the guests and everyone is delighted with his appearance/personality and often keep in touch with him even after leaving the yacht. He is adventurous, he likes to travel and get to know other places and people, so going on a yacht was the fulfillment of his wish - to wake up in a different place every morning.

The youngest member of our crew was born in 2000. He lives on the island of Ugljan and graduated from tourism school in Zadar. So far, he has tried himself in different jobs, as a waiter in a restaurant, as a diver at a fish farm, and as a sailor on a yacht.

This year he decided to become a new crew member on the Gideon. He is communicative, meticulous and active. Karlo has no problem working in a group and he loves the sea and everything related to it.
