Jordana comes from Jesenice, a small coastal village with a deep-rooted maritime tradition. The sea runs in her veins—her great-grandfather was among the first in the village to own a ship, and her grandfather was one of the first formally educated captains. Though rooted in maritime heritage, Jordana initially followed a different path, earning a degree in Graphic Engineering and spending nearly 30 years Eastern Europe’s largest media company. But eventually, her twin passions—cooking and the sea—called her back. She began a new chapter aboard the ship Providnost, cooking for 30 people in her first season. Her culinary journey continued with the renowned hospitality group Falkensteiner, where she refined her skills in local and international cuisine. The sea called again, and she spent two years on MV Navigator, creating and serving curated menus for over 50 guests. With every dish, Jordana brings a piece of her home, heritage, and warmth. For her, the kitchen is more than a workplace—it’s a space for connection, creativity, and love. Today, she’s back where she belongs: at sea, aboard Argo, giving guests a true taste of Dalmatia.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yacht charter preference sheet, and why does it matter so much?
A preference sheet is a key document for any crewed yacht charter that outlines your personal preferences so the crew can prepare everything in advance of your trip. It typically includes details such as your food and drink preferences, dietary requirements, allergies, daily routines, and any special occasions or celebrations.It’s important because it allows the crew to tailor the entire experience around you, making the charter feel more seamless, personal, and well-prepared from the very first day. The more detailed and specific the information, the more precisely the yacht can be set up to match your expectations and style.
Should I book one yacht or two for a group of more than 12 guests in Croatia?
In most cases, we start by looking at a single yacht first. Croatia is one of the best destinations in the world for large groups on one boat, with a strong selection of spacious crewed yachts designed specifically for this kind of setup. That said, in some situations, depending on availability, budget, or the type of experience you want, two yachts sailing together (a tandem charter) can also be an excellent option.
Can I choose any yacht and start my charter from any island in Croatia?
Not always, but there is often more flexibility than people expect. Factors such as the yacht’s home port, booking schedule, relocation costs, and possible island pickups can all affect what is feasible. In many cases, though, there are creative routing and embarkation options that can make your preferred plan work.
Will I get seasick on a yacht charter in Croatia?
Usually not. Most yacht charters in Croatia cruise through relatively calm and protected island waters, which makes the experience comfortable for most guests. If you are concerned about motion or have experienced seasickness before, we can help you choose the right yacht, itinerary, and cruising area to minimize it even further.
I’m only starting to plan my Croatia yacht charter. Is it too early to inquire?
Not at all. In fact, starting early is often the best approach, especially since the most sought-after yachts and peak summer dates can book up well in advance. You do not need to have every detail finalized yet, an early inquiry simply helps you understand your options, availability, and budget before making any decisions.
Are food, drinks, fuel, and other expenses included in the charter rate?
Usually not. On most crewed yacht charters in Croatia, the weekly charter rate covers the yacht and crew, while expenses such as food, drinks, fuel, marina fees, and other day-to-day costs are typically paid separately through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).This means the advertised weekly price is often just the starting point. For a clearer view of the total budget, see our Croatia yacht charter pricing guide.
Are there additional fees when booking through a yacht charter broker?
No. In a standard yacht charter arrangement, you do not pay any additional fee for using a broker. In fact, a good broker can often save you money and time by helping you avoid unsuitable options, negotiate better terms, and identify the right opportunities from the start.
