SOLOMAR Yacht Charter Catamaran

Captain Marko
Marko Židić's journey commenced in the charming town of Orebić, nestled upon the picturesque Pelješac peninsula, where his enchantment with the sea blossomed at the tender age of 10. Enrolling in a sailing school ignited a lifelong love for sailing and windsurfing, which in turn transformed his childhood to one focused on the sea.

At 18, this passion led Marko to complete Skipper Academy, embarking on a summer voyage as a charter skipper during his college summer breaks. Upon graduating from the Faculty of Kinesiology, specializing in Sailing, what began as a seasonal adventure evolved into a thriving full-time profession. Now, alongside his captaincy, Marko generously imparts his wisdom as an assistant in university sailing classes. Even in the off-season, he navigates the waters, participating in regattas to refine his skills and maintain his deep connection to the sea.

Fluent in both English and Croatian, Marko possesses a keen eye for detail and an innate ability to attune himself to the desires of his clients, crafting a seamless and personalized experience for all.
