Crew Profiles:
Piotr is a versatile person with an eclectic mindset. With a spirit for adventure, he always finds some new, untrodden road. This adventurous spark led him throughout his life, and so he dabbled in many things, such as speleology, rafting, kayaking, free climbing, diving, martial arts, and many more disciplines. Along with physical activities, he enjoys reading, writing, studying languages and disassembling and assembling things. All these combined made him a knowledgeable and inventive sailor.
Although he was always in touch with the sea, his love bloomed during an epic sailing voyage across the Mediterranean and Caribien, following in the footsteps of sea explorers. The sea called, and he could do nothing but answer. Now he takes guests on fantastic sailing adventures hoping to spark that same love that drives him. Piotr is the happiest with the salty breeze on his face, and the horizon empty before him. Polite and curious, he enjoys stories that people tell and is always willing to listen.

Ivana is a unique, individual, versatile adventurous girl with a passion for food and wine. Since the first time she was a part of a guest’s crew she knew this sea life is the one she wanted to choose. Love for sailing made her willing to get the skipper license. Her creative culinary enthusiastic passion for cooking and serving can lead you to have experiential gastronomy every day on board because she worked in a restaurant with professional Michelin´s chefs. Ivana also worked as an adventure specialist and wine guide specialist on board of several Wine sailing trips. Her guidance is full of unique knowledge about Croatian wine tasting routes on the Dalmatian´s Islands (Hvar, Brač, Pelješac). Unbreakable optimistic personality helping clients to get relaxation filing from the first moment when she comes on the boat. During her studies at university, Ivana learned 10+ certified Physio techniques on how to fix body traction problems and relaxation massages. Physical activities are natural with her sporty attitude because she has the same great love for sailing as for the free climbing in high mountains, travelling and speleology in deep caves so the activities with rope are her favorite. Croatian Adriatic sea is her popular place to be and where her freedom grows on the salty horizon. She likes communicating with guests about any topic and entertaining kids with games and water toys so the time on the catamaran is always fun and relaxing with any age of guests. With Ivana you will get a full package of holiday extraordinary experience.

WHAT MAKES HER HAPPY BESIDE WORK: During her relaxation time she has a deep passion for music. She is an amazing DJ, amateur singer and a professional player on the piano.
