ANDRIJA ERCEGOVIĆ-CAPTAIN (08/06/1991)
Captain Andrija was born in Split into a family with a 30-year long tradition of maritime enterprise.
He spent most of his childhood helping his father and brothers on different ships owned by their
family so he knew very early where he sees himself in the future, happy at sea.
Graduated from the secondary Maritime high school in Split as a nautical officer of the deck but with
his eagerness to run a ship on his own, he was slowly upgraded to a Captain, with more than 8 years
of experience so far.

used to play a guitar very well but he gave that hobby up in order to pursue new interests.
