CAPTAIN
Roko Lelas
A professor of kinesiology, a passionate sailor, a sportsman, and a musician. Since 2004, when his family purchased their first charter vessel – a mini-cruiser - Roko has spent every summer working on it - at the beginning as a sailor, and later as a captain. His family always aimed for more than just to provide good service, so they decided to step up. After years of searching for the perfect gulet, in 2018 they bought “Lotus”. Now, that he has the perfect yacht to showcase all his knowledge and skills, Roko is keen to provide the best possible service to guests on board Lotus. Coming from a family with a long tradition in the hospitality industry, Roko is truly devoted to meeting his charter guests' demands and expectations. With a huge sailing experience gathered on the Adriatic, Roko will find perfect spots and suggest the best places for any kind of preference.
STEWARDESS
Danijela Bilonic
Danijela brings a unique blend of hospitality, tourism expertise, and appreciation for the Adriatic Sea to her role as a stewardess aboard Lotus. Growing up in Berlin, she spent every summer on the Croatian coast, where her love for the sea was born. This passion led her to a career in the maritime tourism industry. Fluent in German (native), and English, and with a solid understanding of Italian, Danijela ensures seamless communication with international guests. Her background as a certified tourist guide and event manager has refined her ability to anticipate guest needs, personalize service, and exceed expectations. She believes in adding small but meaningful touches to leave a lasting impression. Danijela has experience in both service and housekeeping roles aboard motor yachts, including M/Y Azzurro and M/Y Solaris. She thrives in the dynamic yacht environment, valuing the opportunity to build connections with guests throughout their journey. Beyond yachting, Danijela enjoys photography, cooking, graphic design, and running, all of which contribute to her creative approach to hospitality. Her attention to detail, warm personality, and dedication to guest satisfaction make her a valuable addition to the Gulet Lotus crew.
