Captain: Igor Lesica

MY Apollo Crew
Charters onboard MY Apollo are made very special by the dedicated crew of Captain Igor Lesica and the deckhand Ivan Lesica. This dynamic duo is well-versed in working as a team, as they have over eight years of shared professional experience.

They know the Adriatic inside out, from the best nature spots to outstanding restaurants and fun activities, so that they can make superb recommendations tailored to your preferences in each destination. Ivan, the stew and deckhand, deftly moves between the deck and the galley. When not cruising, Captain Igor is quick to help cook up a delectable barbecue or get the water toys ready for an action-packed afternoon.
