CREW PROFILE

MATEO GAŠPEROV

NIKOLIJA BARETIĆ

MATEO GAŠPEROV (Captain)

"Growing up by the seaside, I developed a deep love for the sea and boats, which made choosing a career in yachting an easy decision. With 7 years of experience working on various ships, I eventually had the opportunity to become a skipper in the yachting industry here in my homeland.

Throughout my journey, I’ve gained extensive knowledge about boats, engines, maintenance, and much more. I’ve always had a passion for working with guests, as I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. My time spent abroad has also helped me improve my English skills.

Sailing is not just myprofession but my passion. My goal is to offer every guest an unforgettable, enjoyable, and safe holiday experience. I am very proud to have the opportunity to share the breathtaking beauty of the Croatian coast and islands with you."
