Ivan Troha was born in June 1997 in Zagreb, Croatia. From early childhood, he spent countless days sailing with his father, where he first discovered his lifelong passion for the sea. At just 22, Ivan transformed this passion into a professional calling, dedicating himself fully to life on the water. A true nature lover, Ivan feels equally at home on mountain trails as he does at the helm of a catamaran. He enjoys hiking, camping, and challenging himself outdoors. Since childhood, he has also trained in wrestling and boxing, disciplines that shaped his strength, resilience, and focus. Ivan holds a Yachtmaster license, as well as GMDSS and D2 Basic Safety certifications. Outside the main charter season, he specializes in yacht transfers and catamaran deliveries - accumulating thousands of nautical miles across the Adriatic and beyond. His calm presence, clear communication, and deep respect for the sea ensure a safe, smooth, and enjoyable journey for everyone on board. As a devoted partner and father to a young boy, Ivan has a natural connection with families. He especially enjoys spending time with children and teenagers - teaching them about life at sea, playing games, and helping them master water sports like wakeboarding, water skiing, and riding the donut. For families seeking an active week on the water, Ivan brings energy, patience, and a fun spirit that young guests absolutely love. Ivan also deeply understands life in Dalmatia’s islands, especially in Middle Dalmatia. He knows the local towns, bays, traditions, and hidden gems perfectly. Whether it’s authentic activities, family - friendly experiences, cultural spots, or local island spirit, Ivan guides clients to feel the true atmosphere of island life - far beyond regular tourist paths. He is passionate about discovering local wineries and gastronomy and always has excellent recommendations, especially on Hvar, Brač, and the Pelješac peninsula, known for their exceptional wines.

Amazing and Unforgettable. Once or twice in a lifetime experience. Safe, unique and adventurous.
This was a great trip. Damir is a great sailor. Confident and capable in all conditions.
He showed us places that you could never find on your own. He was flexible and always considered our desires for the perfect holiday.
After watching many bare boat yachts and catamarans in Cavtat, we realised exactly how valuable a knowledgeable skipper is.
We relaxed, swam and ate while Damir managed our enjoyment and safety.
Nice guy too and willing to explain and teach us.
Amazing Experience!
Incredible once in a lifetime experience. Our skipper Damir was amazing and took us to some incredible spots that would be impossible to find yourself. Four couple were incredible comfortable on a 50 foot catamaran! Could not recommend Luxury Sailing enough!
Amazing week
I loved this experience, I loved the sevices. The food was amazing, our captain Damir was amazing and wonderful. He is a friendly guy. Our hostess Maria she was amazing and the most beautiful hostess in Europe. She is so friendly and the boat was clean all the time. Our crew always find a way to make our wishes come true. And it was 10 of us!! They are the best team! Croatia is amazing and we will 100% come back!
Hugely recommend - highly experienced crew
We were on a catamaran with this company for a week as a family. Our Crew, Maria and Damir, were great fun and Maria was great at braiding hair and Damir he was really great skipper and great pulling us on the donut. The boat was great and we really enjoyed our time our crew made it 2X better!
A wonderful sailing week
We were four couples of friends that spent a week of navigation with Damir (Captain), Marija (Hostess) and Marko (Chef) in Princess Aphrodite (a Saba 50” Catamaran by Fountain Pajot in excellent shape). I could not emphasis enough the great time we had sailing from Split (Trogir Marina) and visiting some of the towns around Hvar and Brač islands.
Comment aside the extraordinary crew that was an essential part of the great experience we had because of their professionalism, preparation, dedication and charm; they took care of everything we needed and were great companions for a week. Marko’s exquisite cousin was an unforgettable part of the experience, so make sure you get him onboard.
We visited the towns of Milna, Vis, Hvar, Stari Grad and Jelsa, mixing nights docking in town and others in wonderful bays. All really beautiful places.
We booked the trip through a third-party agency, and everything worked fine, but it seems obvious to get in contact with Luxury Sailing directly, the company that owns Aphrodite.
It was our first time in Croatia, but we sure hope to come back. It is a very nice country, very oriented to tourism and immediately become obvious that sailing is an essential part of their life.
The best hosts in Croatia
On a trip like this, you expect to be blown away by the natural beauty around you - and we were. What we didn’t expect was how my big a difference having the right crew could make. Damir and Marija are both the best of the best. We grew to enjoy and respect them more and more everyday as their professionalism and dedication shined through. They work together seamlessly, they’re true teammates who bring such a lovely atmosphere to the boat.
Marija spoiled us with fabulous homemade breakfast and lunches and took extra effort to make sure that every request was considered. Damir took the time to get to know us and planned the perfect route, considering our personalities and keeping us safe and dry.
The boat is well equipped and comfortable, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are surprisingly large. A few things feel a bit worn and could use refurbishment, for example the pillows on the main deck are ready to be re-stuffed, some of the outdoor sports equipment is ready to be upgraded - that kind of thing.
Overall, what a wonderful, relaxing holiday with wonderful hosts. We are so grateful! Thank you!
Amazing family trip in Croatia!
So, I am not a boater. Generally, I like to see the water from land, but my husband convinced me to do this catamaran tour with Luxury Sailing in Croatia, and, I am so glad he did! It was such an amazing experience. The boat was spacious and well cared for. The islands were gorgeous. The kids had fun in the water and on land (Note: we bought the luxury package with all the water toys, but we also rented a skeedo, which we probably used the most). There were so many highlights to our trip, but one of the biggest was the crew. Our captain (Damir) and hostess (Marija) were exceptional. They went the extra mile to make sure we were happy, well fed and taken care of (we had a few accidents that required attending to and they helped us every step of the way). I highly recommend this outfitter for your sailing experience.
Unforgettable trip
The catarmaran was an amazing experience for us. We enjoyed the trip to Vis island the most among the other islands. It was a hidden gem absolutely a breath-taker.
Highly recommended. The only thing i would make sure is to start and return from split instead of Dubrovnik.
The crew Maria and Damir were friendly and lunches that our hostess prepared were delicious.
Rates are Plus Expenses
What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.

They went the extra mile to make sure we were happy, well fed and taken care of (we had a few accidents that required attending to and they helped us every step of the way). I highly recommend this outfitter for your sailing experience.
Unforgettable trip
The catarmaran was an amazing experience for us. We enjoyed the trip to Vis island the most among the other islands. It was a hidden gem absolutely a breath-taker.
Highly recommended. The only thing i would make sure is to start and return from split instead of Dubrovnik.
The crew Maria and Damir were friendly and lunches that our hostess prepared were delicious.
Availability / Rates
Rates are Plus Expenses
What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.
