CREW PROFILE

MATEO GAŠPEROV

IVANA VUKUSIC

Lukas Bobek

MATEO GAŠPEROV (Captain)

Growing up by the seaside, he developed a deep love for the sea and boats, which made choosing a career in yachting an easy decision. With over seven years of experience working on various vessels, he eventually had the opportunity to become a skipper in the yachting industry—right here in my homeland. Throughout this journey, he has gained extensive knowledge of boats, engines, maintenance, and seamanship and always enjoyed working with guests, as he love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Time spent abroad has also helped me strengthen my English and communication skills.

''Sailing is not just my profession—it’s my passion. My goal is to offer every guest an unforgettable, enjoyable, and above all, safe holiday experience. I’m proud to have the opportunity to share the breathtaking beauty of the Croatian coast and islands with you.''

IVANA VUKUSIC (Yacht Cook/Hostess)

Born and raised on the island of Brač, Ivana has always felt a strong connection to the sea, the sun, and the joy of hosting people. With a background in both cooking and guest service, she brings a versatile skill set that combines creativity in the galley with warm, attentive hospitality. Her experience also includes photography, which adds an artistic touch to the presentation of dishes and onboard ambiance. Ivana is passionate about teamwork and dedicated to delivering exceptional guest experiences. She looks forward to contributing her energy and professionalism to every charter while continuing to grow in the yachting industry.

LUKAS BOBEK (Deckhand)

His love for the sea and his warm and welcoming personality will ensure that the guests will have a unique experience. He is patient, dedicated to his job, he has excellent organizational skills and he concerns for the safety of all passengers on board. He speaks Croatian and English and holds a yacht master category A. In his free time, he likes basketball, water sports and spending time with his family.
