Duje Besic, born in 1993 in Split, Croatia. Since young age developed love for everything sea related while fishing on his grandfathers boat. Started sailing when he was 12 in a local sailing club and continued this passion professionally as soon as he turned 18. Starting out on rental speed boats for transfers and day trips in 2011, soon he gets his Yacht Master certification and gradually works up to bigger yachts. Now, after 15 years experience as professional skipper and instructor on both motor and sailing yachts with his sailing range stretching anywhere between the arctic coasts of Svalbard to the scorching shores of Africa, his love for the sea is burning brighter than ever. Working in the closed confines of the boat with people of numerous backgrounds and nationalities, he gained excellent communication and relationship skills to provide nice and relaxing time on board. He is a fluent English speaker with excellent knowledge of Adriatic coast, history, restaurants and wine tasting routes. Duje is very patient and approachable person, which makes him pleasant to be on board. He likes to entertain kids with water toys, which we have on board, and parents likes him also very much because can fully relax as well 🙂
