STJEPAN MARINKOVIĆ - captain
Stjepan is a versatile person with an eclectic mindset. With a spirit for adventure, he always finds some new, untrodden road. This adventurous spark led him throughout his life, and so he dabbled in many things, such as speleology, rafting, kayaking, free climbing, diving, martial arts, and many more disciplines. Along with physical activities, he enjoys reading, writing, studying languages, and disassembling and assembling things. All these combined made him a knowledgeable and inventive sailor.
Through his studies as an archaeologist, he got opportunities to travel and explore outback places and exotic locales, where he learned about many facets of local culture and folklore. Although he was always in touch with the sea, his love bloomed during an epic sailing voyage across the Mediterranean, following in the footsteps of ancient Phoenicians and Greeks. The sea called, and he could do nothing but answer. Now he takes guests on fantastic sailing adventures hoping to spark that same love that drives him. Stjepan is the happiest with a salty breeze on his face, and the horizon empty before him. Polite and curious, he enjoys stories that people tell and is always willing to listen.
