CAPTAIN: Deni Špar
Deni was born in 1995. and lives on the island of Ugljan. After
graduating from maritime high school, majoring in marine
engineering and doing an assistantship on a long voyage, he
decided to fulfill his desire to work on a yacht. He worked for
several seasons as a mechanic on yachts in Croatia and 4 years
ago he decided to go abroad. He went to Monaco to work on a
yacht, also as a machinist.
Due to his desire to return home and start his own business, he
passed the captain's exam and together with his family rented a
gulet and embarked on a new adventure. He hopes to own a
yacht one day. Deni is a very ambitious and responsible worker.
He is communicative, quick and resourceful. He likes to work in a
group and he treats guests professionally and is always ready to
listen to their wishes and suggestions and if possible, fulfill them.

CHEF: Marin Jurin
He was born on the island of Ugljan in 1978. After graduating
from high school for chefs in Zadar he worked for years as a chef
in hotels and restaurants throughout Dalmatia. Love took him to
Zagreb, where he has been living for the last 8 years. During
those 8 years he worked professionally in top level hotels and
well known restaurants in Zagreb.
However, since his love for the sea is still strong, last year he
decided to try his luck on yachts and that's how he came to
Gideon. Marin is highly regarded by guests and receives great
reviews and praise from them. All guests are delighted with his
dishes. Marin cooks traditional Dalmatian dishes with a touch of
modernity, which he introduces through various spices and the
presentation of the dishes on the plate.

WAITER: Šime Šatalić
Šime was born in 1992, also on the island of Ugljan.
After finishing high school he devoted himself to
catering.
He has many years of experience working as a waiter in
restaurants, both on the island of Ugljan and abroad, in
Ireland and the USA. Last year, he decided to share his
knowledge and experience with us and go to sea and
sail with Gideon. Šime is maximally dedicated to his
work. As a world traveler, he handles languages very
well. He is very active and pays attention to details.
Šime is open in his communication with guests and they
gladly accept him into their company to tell them about
life in Croatia. He gets great reviews from the guests and
everyone is delighted with his appearance/personality
and often keep in touch with him even after leaving the
yacht.
He is adventurous, he likes to travel and get to know
other places and people, so going on a yacht was the
fulfillment of his wish - to wake up in a different place
every morning.
