David, his family, and how this works
David lives in Hvar with his wife Ana and their three children. He built this operation around simple, direct service: guests book with him, deal with his small team, and get clear answers before they spend anything.
He is not running a big agency setup. Most of the time you are talking to David or to one of three other people who are regularly on the boats. When the season gets really busy, he brings in a trusted local freelance skipper who fits in naturally with the rest of the team.
David is also the kind of operator who will tell you if your plan does not make sense for the day or the conditions. That is not a bad sign. It means the people you are dealing with are paying attention.
How they work with guests
What to expect when you book with David
- You get clear answers on WhatsApp before you commit to anything.
- Stipe coaches bareboat guests on the dock before they leave: engine, anchor, basic rules at sea.
- Ivano and David adjust the day to the group on tours and excursions, not the other way around.
- If the weather or sea conditions make a route unrealistic, they will tell you before you go, not after.
- If your plan does not fit a small bareboat, David will say so and suggest a better option.
The goal is that you know what you are getting before you book and that what actually happens matches what was described.
