Corsario CY

Captain: Jure Restovic
Our amazing captain Jure comes from little fishing and shipbuilding village Milna on island Brač. His dad was a craftsman, shipbuilder and sailor, so he grew up near the boats and learned the same skills. He worked on a small ship cruisers, big overseas cargo ships, then again as a sailor on yachts and finally as a captain, which was his lifelong dream. Jure has been the captain of Corsario from the beginning (2019).

Jure is a big fan of fishing and being on the sea, so don't be surprised when he takes you to the most mesmerizing bays and coves and catches fresh fish, octopus or calamari for you. He is also a very passionate craftsman and a guy who can just fix anything.

Corsario is his first yacht and he loves working with his fellow colleagues and captain Jure. His favourite part about his working with the water toys and bringing joy to guests who wish to use them.

as a bosun on board Corsario.

Josip has great maritime knowledge and he is also father of three amazing kids. He loves working on Corsario as a sailing season in yachting is not that long like on mini cruisers. In addition to that, this is also something new for him and much more interesting. He leads the whole deck by the instructions of captain Jure and Jure trusts him 100%.

Toni comes from island Vis like Duje, but town of Komiža and those two towns are big “rivals”. They always joke which town is nicer and whose village has the better olive oil, lemons, wines, etc.
