Dolce Vita Description
Gulet DOLCE VITA is one of the most beautiful gulets based on the Adriatic. We say this with complete confidence, not only because we have witnessed it ourselves, but more because our clients and colleagues seem to think so, too. We’ve had wonderful reports about her dedicated crew, generous deck space and luxury accommodation. DOLCE VITA had a full refit back in 2013 but her owners give her a significant upgrade every winter. The gulet can accommodate up to 10 guests in five en suite cabins.

Dolce Vita Crew Profile
Captain
Chef
Captain: Tomislav Grubisic
Tomislav Grubisic is a fantastic captain, who has worked as a captain for 8 years. Tomislav loves his job and has the greatest respect for the sea. He wants his guests to have a great experience full of fun memories! His number one priority, however, is for all guests to feel safe.
Tomislav lives in Sibenik, Croatia. In this free time, he likes to play sports and catch up with friends and family.
Deck hand: Ante Slijepcevic
Ante Slijepcevic is also from Sibenik, Croatia. Ante has been sailing for the last 3 years. His love of sailing started from his summer job and since he has been hooked! His new found love of the sea and boats meant he realised he wanted to work on boats full time. He will be a great addition to any crew.
Chef: Boris Blagdanic
Boris Blagdanic has been working as a chef on board yachts for the last 15 years. He is experienced and this shows in his dishes. He loves his job and always pushes himself to be the best he can be. He is confident in catering for all dietary requirements and tastes. He has the skills to please all guests with his delicious cooking.
Boris comes from a small town called Banj on the Island of Pasman. When he isn’t on board cooking delicious food for guests, he enjoys fishing and trying out new recipes ready for the next season.
Hostess: Irena Matosevic
Irena comes from a small town in the center of Bosnia and Herzegovina called Vitez (Knight). Despite having a masters degree in geography, she quickly realised that life on board yachts was her calling after loving her summer job. After three seasons, she realized that the sea and the sun are the source of her happiness and energy, and she decided to put aside her geography profession to stay at sea.
In her spare time, apart from enjoying time with family and friends, she spends time in the gym, playing basketball (she was a basketball coach for 13 years) and travelling to explore new places.
Steward: Nikola Krajcar
Steward Nikola comes from the town of Nova Gradiška in Croatia. After finishing Maritime High School, Nikola started his dream job working on board boats. For Nikola, being a steward on Dolce Vita is a dream come true because he loves the sea and working with people. For him the most rewarding part of the job is making everybody happy and satisfied. He is always looking forward to meeting new people.

Dear Crew (Tome, Irena, Boris, Ante and Nikola)
Thank you so much for such a great week, you have all been so kind to us from start to finish. We look forward to coming back in 2025 and staying with you for a 5th time!
PS. Boris your lunches were absolutely delicious, nearly as nice as Irena´s desserts!!
There are moments in time to have special days in paradise and this trip was one of them. From Tomis stead hand in charge, Ante´s quiet talking but solid demeanour and Boris making us incredible food. Mostly, I´d like to that Nikola and Irene, who feel like one of the family!
I was worried when I heard the crew had changed but we have had the best time!
June 17- 24 2023

June 10 - 17th 2023
We have had the most amazing week! The Dolce Vita is a stunning boat, made even more fantastic by the outstanding crew, Tomo, Ante, Nikola, Borris and Irene- you are all ´quite nice´! It is not often that all your expectations are met, but on this occasion they were exceeded by far!
Especially noted:
Nikola- mastered English ´builders tea´ and gin and tonic maker!
Boris - ´anchor man´. Superb international cuisine from the Croatian Masterchef, but the fired eggs stole the show!
Ante- our own private water taxi and protector.
Irena - great maker of pre swim cherry brandy shots, towel sculptures and very creative table presentation.
Captain Tom - always a smile on his face, a natural leader always in control with expert knowledge not only on the waters and islands but of the best restaurants in town!
You have all been amazing and have all looked after us so well- we don´t want to leave!
June 2023
This was our 2nd consecutive year chartering the Dolce Vita; all new crew, longer stay and extra stops and locations. New highlights include the waterpark beach in Makarska (be sure to eat at Tempera Street Food in Makarska!), a fantastic e-bike ride through Mljet National Park and some sunrise(ish) walks along the board walks.
Many thanks to our amazing crew: Irena, Nikola, Tom, Ante and Boris. YOU made our trip warm, friendly and welcoming. We are so grateful for all your hospitality and kindness. Wishing you the best.
Fingers crossed that we get to see you again in 2024!
