Who is Mitja Mirtič!
I started to think about gulets seriously in the year 2004 when it was the first time I actually cruised on one. It was on gulet Sadra, which is not anymore in the charter in Croatia – and I loved it.
I recognized the large possibilities about this type of holidays, woke up at 2 o clock in the morning and could not get back to sleep. I put all the business ideas on the paper and started with action.
The road to success was very long and hard but we managed to pull it off. And now I can say we are one of the most specialized (and successful) ON LINE agencies for gulet cruises in the market. (at least I can say we do our best).

In the last couple of years, I joined forces with my life companion Alenka and this was also the time when things really took off.
