Opal Adriatic

Name: Toni Koceić
Nationality: Croatian
Position: Captain
Position details:
Languages: Not specified
Description: Toni comes to the helm from an engineering background, and it shows in his
methodical, composed presence on deck. With over 36,000 nautical miles logged
and 135 charter operations under his belt, he brings the kind of quiet confidence that
only comes from experience that spans open-ocean passages and intricate coastal
navigation along the Adriatic.
His deep technical knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems
means that whatever arises on board, Toni has the expertise to handle it calmly and
competently.
A non-smoker and non-drinker throughout his career, he is exactly the captain
charter guests and owners have come to rely on. Off duty, he is happiest by the sea
with a fishing line in hand,ideally after a long ride on his motorcycle.

Name: Barbara Sinčić
Nationality: Croatian
Position: Stewardess
Position details:
Languages: Not specified
Description: Barbara's relationship with food is rooted in where she grew up. Coming from an
island background (Brač & Šolta), where the table has always been central to life,
she found her calling in the kitchen and honed her skills at a fine-dining
restaurant on Šolta for two years before taking that passion out to sea.
Over eight years of Mediterranean charter work, she has refined a cooking style
built around honest,locally sourced ingredients, the kind of food that tastes
unmistakably of the place you are sailing through. Her menus shift with the
season and the port, shaped by whatever the local markets offer.
What guests may not expect is that Barbara is a highly capable sailor in her own
right, all while pursuing a degree in statistics and scientific research. That brings
a precision of mind that quietly informs how she plans, provisions, and executes
every meal with consistency and care. In the galley and throughout the interior,
she brings the warmth and professionalism deepened by many seasons at sea.

Name: Eliza Fabris
Nationality: TBD
Position:
Position details: STEWARDESS / DECKHAND
Languages: Not specified
Description: .Eliza is as comfortable handling lines on deck as she is turning down cabins and
looking after guests in the interior. Her years working on vessels ranging from
catamarans to motor yachts have given her an intuitive sense of how a charter
should feel: attentive without being intrusive, always one step ahead.
When needed, she is no stranger to the galley either, having spent years working
in restaurant kitchens and developed a love of cooking along the way (think
freshly baked focaccia, slow-braised Croatian classics, and homemade desserts).
Her background in cognitive and clinical neuroscience, a master's degree
completed cum laude at the University of Maastricht, brings an unexpected but
useful quality to her work: a deep understanding of people and what they need
to feel at ease.
Organised, capable, and quietly versatile, Eliza is the kind of crew member whose
contribution you notice most when everything simply runs without a hitch.
