LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, FLUENT ENGLISH
Born and raised on the Dalmatian coast, Paško knows these islands inside out. He understands how the weather and sea conditions can change throughout the day, where to find the best swimming spots and when it makes sense to avoid the busier locations. Fluent in English, Paško gives our guests a genuine local perspective and an insight into this part of Croatia they might otherwise miss.
★★★★★
"From the moment we stepped aboard, it was obvious that Paško was committed to making our day memorable. The fresh fruit and croissants were a wonderful touch, and he took the time to ensure we knew how to use all of the boat’s amenities, including the snorkeling equipment, underwater scooter, and stand-up paddleboard. Paško also went above and beyond by capturing incredible drone photos throughout the day, which he shared with us afterward."
