ORIY

For Ante, the sea is not just a career - it’s a family legacy carried into a new era with ORIY.

As a seventh-generation captain and boat owner, Ante has the sea in his blood. Growing up sailing with his father and grandfather sparked a lifelong passion that has shaped both his career and his family’s legacy in the yachting industry.

Graduating cum laude from the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split, Ante combined academic excellence with hands-on experience. He was instrumental in building Navilux, one of Croatia’s first custom luxury yachts, later taking the helm of her sister ship Aiaxaia (now Omnia). After years of captaining both vessels, he returned to Navilux before embarking on his newest project - ORIY, the third yacht in the family fleet.

Detail-oriented and a natural leader, Ante has a gift for creating yachts that feel both timeless and innovative. With ORIY, he blends tradition, passion, and vision into a vessel that reflects not only his family’s heritage but also his personal dedication to redefining Adriatic yachting.

Petar is a skilled chef with a passion for sharing the flavors of the sea. He combines professional culinary training with excellent language skills to be able to communicate with guests in English, Norwegian, and Spanish. Having spent time away from Croatia, Petar developed an even greater appreciation for the sea and for fresh, quality ingredients, bringing that respect to every dish he prepares for guests.

Petar’s approach to cooking is personal and attentive. He is accustomed to working under pressure while maintaining high hygiene standards and adapting menus to meet individual needs. He particularly enjoys showcasing Mediterranean cuisine, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and simple yet refined techniques that highlight natural flavors.

Responsible, calm, and hardworking, Petar thrives in a team where everyone knows their role, always striving to create a memorable dining experience through both exceptional food and warm, thoughtful service. Outside the yacht, he enjoys fitness, nutrition, and reading.
 

Bozidar has a passion for creating traditional cuisine with a modern twist. While studying, he spent several years working in renowned Croatian restaurants, including Restaurant 360 in Dubrovnik and Restaurant Kadena in Split, where he refined his culinary techniques and developed a strong appreciation for high-quality ingredients and exceptional service. He immediately saw the potential and appeal of a career at sea and decided to pursue his passion in the yachting industry.

Prior to joining ORIY, Bozidar gained valuable experience on the luxury M/S OMNIA, further developing his skills in a high-end charter environment. He loves a new challenge and is eager to learn, making him excited to work alongside Chef Petar. Hardworking, enthusiastic, and always maintaining a positive attitude, he is a perfect fit for the ORIY team.

Known for her calm energy, creativity, and attention to detail, Kristina ensures a smooth and memorable guest experience - whether setting an elegant table or anticipating needs with quiet precision. Outside of yachting, she enjoys painting, writing, music, and experimenting in the kitchen. She speaks English and German fluently and is currently learning Italian.

After working on OMNIA, Petar joins ORIY for the 2026 season, eager to grow within the yachting industry and refine his skills as a steward and bartender. Known for his kindness, charisma, and eye for detail, he values the small touches that create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for guests.

Fluent in English and conversational in German, Petar combines a professional approach with a relaxed, personable style. Outside of yachting, he enjoys football and is always curious to explore new skills and experiences.

Eager to learn, grow, and gain new experiences, she approaches every day on board with a positive attitude and a strong commitment to providing excellent service. She believes that working on a yacht has already helped her become a stronger, more confident person.
