Yacht for Charter
OPAL

Boris Vrhovac, born 1979 in Zagreb, Croatia, has been sailing since he was a boy. First with his parents, and then as he grew older he continued to sail with his friends. After his first job as a skipper when he was 19, he knew that this was exactly what he wanted to do in life. He has therefore been working as a skipper ever since. Boris completed his MCA/RYA Yacht Master Offshore based in the Solent, UK and holds D2 Basic Safety (STCW) Certificate. He is a fluent English speaker and can get by in Italian, French and German. His experience before includes being a captain aboard Lagoon 560. His passions for the sea, nice food and fine wine are easily contagious; Boris will make just anyone fall in love with his world. He has a calm nature which makes him pleasant to be around and which enables him to keep a cool head to handle any situation that could occur. WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY BESIDES MY WORK, SEA & BOATS: I am passionate about wines, pairing wine with high end cuisine.
