At Otium Yachts, something we pride ourselves on is knowing the yachts and crew we recommend personally. With more than a decades’ worth of experience in the charter industry, we have fostered strong relationships with the people we work with – our yachts and crews feel more like extended family than colleagues. In a saturated market, we believe this is one of our greatest points of difference. This is why we wanted to write this ‘Meet the Captain’ series, so you can get to know the people ‘behind’ the yachts like we do. Today, let us introduce you to Captain Filip Jakir from Tajna Mora.

Luxury sailing yacht Acapella began as a dream and is a story of true passion and family tradition. It is impossible to talk about Acapella as if she is just another boat launch. The story of Acapella is deeply rooted in passion and family tradition, and is a story we feel compelled to share. With the launch of Acapella, brothers Niksa and Tomislav launch a dream and continue a family tradition.

Let’s face it, 2020 has been weird and hard for many reasons, this is exactly why you need something to look forward to – a yacht charter, sailing in Croatia may be just what you need.

There are many reasons a sailing holiday will become one of your favourite holidays. However, today we want to share some of the simple pleasures and lesser-known aspects of a yacht charter which become highlights and memorable moments for our guests.
