Crew Profiles:
Captain Matija Pavlović, brings passion, precision, and over a decade of yachting experience to every voyage. Born and raised in Croatia, where the sea is never far from view, Matija transitioned from a 13-year professional athletic career to follow his true calling—life on the water. It wasn’t long before he traded the office for the open sea, and never looked back.

Having captained charters across the Mediterranean—including Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Greece, and France—Matija brings a wealth of international experience, as well as over 13,000 nautical miles and 800+ days at sea. His adventures have more recently taken him to the Caribbean, where he’s fallen in love with the beauty and rhythm of the British Virgin Islands.

Clients consistently praise his professionalism, calm leadership, and warm hospitality. Whether it’s crafting a custom itinerary filled with hidden gems or simply ensuring every guest feels at ease onboard, Matija’s mission is to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Fluent in English, Croatian, and conversational in several other languages, Captain Matija creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for guests from around the world. When you step aboard with Matija at the helm, you're not just getting a skilled captain—you’re gaining a trusted guide to paradise.

Chef Mary Campbell, fondly known as MC, brings a unique blend of creativity and culinary excellence to the private yacht charter industry. With a background in design and art history from Louisiana State University, she seamlessly marries her artistic vision with her culinary expertise to craft meals that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Her professional journey spans the globe, with experience as a private yacht chef in Croatia, Turkey, and the Caribbean. Whether catering to diverse dietary preferences or curating menus inspired by local flavors, MC delivers personalized dining experiences that leave a lasting impression.
Beyond her role as a chef, MC is a certified expert in food safety, guest management, and hospitality, honed through her training at the Quarterdeck Yacht Academy and hands-on experience aboard luxury yachts. Her holistic approach to hospitality extends to creating custom itineraries and ensuring every detail is perfect for her guests. Outside the kitchen, Mary channels her creative energy into watercolor painting, pottery, and exploring global cuisines, infusing her culinary creations with a multicultural spirit. For Chef Mary, food is more than a meal—it’s a storytelling experience, thoughtfully designed to connect with guests and make every moment unforgettable.
