Meet Your Crew

Captain Marko
Marko ลฝidiฤ‡'s journey commenced in the charming town of Orebiฤ‡, nestled upon the picturesque Pelješac peninsula, where his enchantment with the sea blossomed at the tender age of 10. Enrolling in a sailing school ignited a lifelong love for sailing and windsurfing, which in turn transformed his childhood to one focused on the sea.

At 18, this passion led Marko to complete Skipper Academy, embarking on a summer voyage as a charter skipper during his college summer breaks. Upon graduating from the Faculty of Kinesiology, specializing in Sailing, what began as a seasonal adventure evolved into a thriving full-time profession. Now, alongside his captaincy, Marko generously imparts his wisdom as an assistant in university sailing classes. Even in the off-season, he navigates the waters, participating in regattas to refine his skills and maintain his deep connection to the sea.

Fluent in both English and Croatian, Marko possesses a keen eye for detail and an innate ability to attune himself to the desires of his clients, crafting a seamless and personalized experience for all.

Chef Iris

Iris Vukušiฤ‡ is a chef with a deep connection to the sea. Growing up on the island of Braฤ, she was surrounded by the Adriatic from an early age. Her grandfather’s ship, which ran daily cruises along the Croatian coast, allowed her to experience life on the sea. A life she soon fell in love with.

Iris graduated with a degree in Early Childhood and Preschool Education, but her true passion has always been in cooking and sailing. With a background in Culinary, Hospitality and Tourism Management from high school, she soon transitioned her love for cooking into a job, becoming a chef onboard yachts.

In addition to her culinary expertise, Iris holds a degree from the Faculty of Kinesiology, has completed a Nutritionist Course and earned the WSET Level 1 Award in Wines, allowing her to craft dishes that are not only delicious but also mindful of various dietary needs.
Iris brings the Mediterranean lifestyle onboard, specializing in authentic Dalmatian dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, often adding a modern twist to traditional flavors. She’s committed to continuously learning and exploring new cuisines, always striving to create a personalized and exceptional dining experience that makes every meal a memorable part of the journey.

Hostess Ivana Vukušiฤ‡

Ivana Vukušiฤ‡ was born and raised in Povlja on the island of Braฤ, where life has always been shaped by the sea and a close connection to the Adriatic.

She graduated from Medical High School in Split, where she developed strong foundations in responsibility, discipline and attention to detail, which she naturally applies in her work onboard.

Alongside her career in yachting, Ivana has a background in photography, where she refined her sense of composition, visual balance and presentation. This creative training contributes to her structured and detail-oriented approach to maintaining the interior onboard.

She is a certified Advanced Open Water Diver, which provides her with confidence and composure in the marine environment and a natural familiarity with life at sea.

Fluent in English and Croatian, Ivana is committed to maintaining high standards of organization, consistency and operational efficiency throughout the charter experience.
