From the first moment you come aboard Rara Avis you will feel you are in a safe and hospitable hands of Časlav, young 34 years old captain who has spent last 12 years of his life connected with sea.
Soon after finishing high school, he has realized his love is not commercial and marketing but sea and the boats. He started working as a sailor on different boats and patiently he sailed his way to become a captain. Experience that he gathered in meantime has made him an excellent host who can provide his guests the most memorable cruise. Časlav has been showing enthusiasm and love for the nature all of his life so when he is not sailing, he spends his free time on the mountains.
For him this is ideal way of recharging his batteries and connecting with nature and his family.

He worked in greenhouses with flowers and vegetables, on construction work, in a Styrofoam factory owned by his uncle, he also did some kitchen furniture instalment part time, helping at archaeological excavations and restauration of historical monuments.
Somehow a career on sea at some point came to mind, so for the past 4 years he has been working as a hand on deck and a sailor. Stipe is also a proud founder of his own company for import/export of the stone coal from Bosnia and Hercegovina. He owns more than 12 maritime certificates of qualification and various courses.

“We really like to thank you all for making this Croatian journey one to remember for life.
The boat is really well designed, the rooms have excellent size and amenities, more than what we’ve expected. All areas of the boat are spacious and allowed our family of 13 members to get together all the time, but at the same time, we could have areas for privacy.
The boat is in excellent condition and the crew was extremely respectful and joyful, with an attitude towards service that we all enjoyed.
Be sure that we will meet you in the years to come!”

RARA AVIS + CREW...
The worst part about the trip is leaving! Its even difficult to write in this book.
Words on paper cant describe the feelings we have for Rara. Thank you for making our second time around even more special and memorable as first. I wish you all could come to my house so I could show you the same love and hospitality you have show to us! You take us to the most incredible journey. Captain goes above and beyond to put us in places that make our hearts skip a beat. Other memorable moments are
–“Kiki, do you love me” LOL, and how he kicks our childrens asses at FIFA.
“Matea” always there when I need her and for the “Bis” keeping us so clean.
“Steve” the spider monkey. How do you jump rocks like that? Are you a beast?
“Captain” – a million thank yous are not enough. You always make us feel safe. God bless you and your family.
“Marco” you have spoiled us. I don’t want to go home and cook. We love you all!!!
