Duje Baučić, captain of the classic yacht GALLANT, was born in 1981. in Split, where he finished high school as a marine machinist. After high school he was working on cargo ships for a few years, when he was given the opportunity to join Ivan Antišić on his former boat Tajna Mora as a deckhand/machinist. He has proven himself as a good employee, hardworking with a great interest in boats and nautical tourism. Within the next 10 years he patiently gathered experience starting from the lowest rank and clearing the deck, slowly progressed and then finally earned the title captain in coastal navigation. This hardworking attitude and patience characterize him as a person, and guests love him because he is mild in nature but also very communicative. In his free time, he continues to spend his time in nature. Replacing the sea with mountains, he enjoys hiking and free climbing. Nature has always been his driving force and that is why he enjoys nautical tourism so much because it allows him to show guests all the beauties of our breathtaking coast.

Growing up in a family that is one of the founders of nautical tourism in Croatia, Ivan Antišić could not go in any other direction in his life than in the direction of the sea and sailing. For more than 30 years now, the sea and the boats have been the center of his universe. He was working as the skipper on large sailing yachts, technical director of a yacht company, fishermen and the owner of the fishing boat so he got to know the sea and nautical tourism from all perspectives. This gave him the experience needed to step into marine tourism independently. With fresh ideas and gained experience, he built two new ships and reconstructed one from the ground up, always bringing innovations to Croatian nautical tourism, proving himself to be an excellent host. He did the same thing with his new project – classic motor yacht Gallant. He wanted to bring life back into a wooden ship and give him new meaning and purpose. Starting only from the hull, he built an almost new ship with one and only goal to provide guests with a new level of luxury. And with more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, he was just the right person to do that. In the meantime, he decided to gradually leave everything in the hands of young forces, trying to slowly train them and pass on to them the experience he had accumulated over the years. Therefore, now on Gallant he is Duje’s right hand. Ivan’s hobbies are cooking and oenology, so he enjoys he can show his guests Croatia from this perspective.
