CAPTAIN - JANKO IVANIŠ

Janko’s connection with the sea began in his childhood in Split, where his great-uncle was a founding member of a local sailing club. His personal sailing journey started in New Zealand in his mid-twenties, and after returning to Croatia, he expanded his skills at a respected sailing school on the island of Murter. Over time, his passion for sailing evolved into a career in nautical tourism. He gained experience sailing sailboats, catamarans, and motor yachts, working as a skipper, instructor, and participating in regattas. He holds a Yacht Master's license B (500 BT) and is currently training as a national sailing judge. Years of international travel, language studies, and working with crews and passengers have made him highly adaptable to new environments. Additionally, his leadership and teaching experience, gained in the Croatian army and as a sailing instructor, allow him to confidently guide clients and teams. Each day offers him the chance to grow, connect, and share his passion for the sea.

For me, working on a yacht is the perfect way to combine my love for the sea with my skills in kinesiology and hospitality. I find great joy in creating a welcoming and positive atmosphere for my guests through organization and care. My main goal is to share the incredible beauty of the Adriatic Sea with everyone on board, ensuring they leave with a genuine love for our coast and a truly memorable experience."
