Although life had other plans for him before he could dedicate all his time only to sailing and all other outdoor activities he enjoys. Throughout his studies in Croatia and Norway and a career in sales, marketing and digital marketing Karlo used every free moment of his time to spend at sea working as a skipper, racing in regattas, race dinghies or volunteering in a race committee. Finally, in 2015 Karlo left the corporate waters and set full sails in the direction he always wanted. Since then, he has done his RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, he has skippered charter boats up to 72ft in the Adriatic, Ionian sea and the Caribbean, delivered boats up to 90ft through the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
