About the Crew

Captain Vinko

Coming from seaside city of Split in Croatia , Vinko spent his childhood summer days on a family sailboat. Growing up, his affection for sailing only grew stronger and during his college years he started doing boat deliveries in Croatia.

During his early days he realized office jobs don’t suit him, and he decided to make a full-time career out of his passion for sailing. Over the years he made more than 70 000 miles during his work in the charter (Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain, France) or boat deliveries worldwide.

When Vinko is not sailing open waters, he enjoys traveling, cooking, playing ukulele and spending a fun time with his family and friends.

He is genuinely looking forward to create authentic experience on the water together.
