Captain Edi was born in 1982 in Pula, Croatia, and developed an affection for the sea when he was 2 years old as he would sail the Kvarner archipelago with his dad on a daily basis. As he worked his way up through skippering bareboat yachts, working as flotilla lead skipper, and organising and running skipper courses to get himself to working as a captain on crewed yachts, he says that his biggest achievement in the last 13 years has been keeping the same love for the job that he’s so passionate about. Meeting new people while getting them to know local history, traditions, and the unique cuisine of the Dalmatian way of life is his expertise. His knowledge, extensive experience, patience, and calm personality create a unique atmosphere on the yacht that helps you feel relaxed and make the most of your holidays. Other hobbies Edi prefers are basketball and fitness.
Ana – After finishing maritime technologies university, my ideal career was on a yacht. I love to sail, meet new people, and see new places. Combining the whole experience with food that I learned mostly on the lap of my Dalmatian parents is really a dream come true, and I hope to put all the Croatian experience through taste on a plate for all our guests. While being part of The Moorings crew, I enjoy most the fact that the guests are having the best holiday they can have, and I have been part of that experience. The destination we are in, Croatia, has so much to offer, and every time we are onboard, we get a different perspective on every little town and bay. Mediterranean cuisine has always been a passion of mine; learned about it from my Nona, so I prefer the hearty, homemade dishes that are meant for sharing, so that is the experience I’d like our guests to enjoy as well.
