Behind every good sail is a good crew.
Behind every good sail is a good crew. From the very start it mattered to us to bring together skippers who, beyond their experience at sea, know how to create a good atmosphere on board, work with all kinds of groups, and make people feel safe and relaxed throughout the whole trip.
Over the years we've built a team of skippers who differ in energy, character and outlook on life, but share the same goal - to make every voyage an experience people happily return to.
Some prefer calmer routes and hidden coves, some more active days at sea and island-hopping, and some will win you over from day one with the sheer energy of life at sea. As different as each of them is, what they share is professional experience, serious knowledge of the sea, and all the licenses required for navigation and sailing.
At Luff Yachting we carefully build the team of people we work with, because we believe skippers are an important part of the whole experience at sea - from the atmosphere on board and the organisation, to the sense of trust the crew feels throughout the trip.
Meet the people who are an important part of every sail with us.
Bojan is a skipper with serious experience and a man for whom the sea is a way of life. A sailing instructor with every international license, he spends summers in the Mediterranean and winters in the Bahamas, with years of work on large boats and demanding routes behind him.
He even has a background in mountain rescue, which says a lot about how disciplined, safe and reliable he is at sea. With him, the crew always knows it's in good hands.
Marko is the skipper for people who enjoy a more exclusive kind of trip. He spent years working on luxury charters and knows exactly what a great experience at sea looks like - from the perfect cove to restaurants you simply can't find on Google.
He knows all of Greece and Croatia almost like a local, so he always has excellent recommendations for restaurants, beach bars and places worth stopping at along the route. With him, sailing takes on that special atmosphere that makes you experience the trip not just as a holiday, but as something you keep coming back to.
Ivan is a calm, easy-going skipper who puts people at ease right away. A true Vojvodina man - composed, positive, and someone with whom sailing is a real pleasure.
He's ideal for family trips, groups with kids, and people for whom feeling safe and relaxed throughout the sail matters most. As a father of three, he has incredible patience and energy, so with him everything on board runs smoothly and without stress.
Pero is a true adventurer and the skipper for those who want something completely different from sailing. He spent half a year in Nepal, sailed practically the entire Adriatic on a small boat, and always has an incredible story from the sea to keep you up late into the night.
His trips aren't classic holidays with days planned in advance. With him the best things usually happen spontaneously - hidden islands, wild coves, places hardly anyone reaches, and adventures you'll remember far longer than the trip itself.
If you love adventure, spontaneity and experiences that aren't your typical “tourist” ones, Pero is your man.
At first glance Marko is your typical corporate type, but the sea has always been what he returns to as soon as summer arrives. After years in the corporate world, life outside the office draws him in more and more, and sailing and time among the islands have become his complete counterbalance to everyday life.
Greece holds a special place in his heart, and he can hardly imagine a year without spending at least part of the summer as a skipper. What he loves most is that sense of freedom, spontaneity and energy that life on board brings.
He's very sociable, easy-going and quick to connect people on board, so with him the atmosphere almost always turns light and natural from day one.
