Name: Leo
From: Croatia

About: Originally from Croatia, Leo joined SeaDream Yacht Club in 2017 after an impressive career in hotel management and fine dining. As Maître d', he delights in providing our guests with the finest culinary experience at sea. We are proud to call Leo a valued part of our SeaDream family.
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Caribbean—and why?
Leo: Absolutely it would be the British Virgin Islands, for its natural beauty and hidden gems, such as Prickly Pear and Jost van Dyke. Yachting between the islands is an experience that I never tire of.
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Mediterranean—and why?
Leo: Anywhere in the Mediterranean, but especially Croatia and Greece. The simplicity and elegance of their beautiful beaches, historical sites, and friendly locals make these destinations hard to beat. Everyone is so friendly and helpful—you can navigate easily and always easily locate the best restaurants, bars, and fresh food markets, with a wide choice of local specialties and fine wine.
Q: What does “It’s Yachting, Not Cruising®” mean to you?
Leo: To me, the phrase means "friends and family.” Having held this position for the better part of my career, and having sailed on larger ships, I feel I can accurately say there is no better connection between the crew and guests than on a SeaDream yacht. The intimacy and personalized service we offer our guests cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Q: What is it that you love most about SeaDream?
Leo: The family we created on board and the special bond we have with one another and our treasured guests.
