Crew
Captain: Goran Jerkovic
Nationality: Croatian
Your team:
Goran and Alex met back in 2018 while chartering on the beautiful Adriatic sea. They quickly developed a deep admiration for each other's work ethic and knew they'd make the perfect team. After years of working together all across the Mediterranean, they are now excited to take on the Caribbean together! Combined, they have run over 200 charters, in both the freelance and term charter realms, all around the BVI and across the globe so they have the experience and passion to provide world-class hospitality, menus and experiences in all their charters.
Our Ethos:
Over the time spent working together, Goran and Alex have found a balance in providing top-tier hospitality and making personal connections with guests. Human connection makes the world go 'round, and creating an environment for every kind of guest to make lasting memories with their loved ones and their crew is what brings this team joy. They can adapt to any and all kinds of guests from different cultures and walks of life, meeting needs and requests at the drop of a hat. Goran and Alex pride themselves in the lifelong friendships they have made with their guests, resulting in many return charter bookings.
Goran:
Goran was born and raised in Croatia with the sea always in his sights. After his 13 year career as a professional athlete, he went back to school to obtain his master's in Marine Technology Engineering. He started sailing and quickly found that he preferred life on the water over office work, and Captain Goran was born. After more than a decade of being a professional skipper and skipper instructor in the Mediterranean, as well as leading many freelance and The Yacht Week charters in the BVI, he has decided to "cross the pond" and join his favorite chef in the Caribbean full-time in the waters that have become his favorite over the years!
Alex:
Driven by a passion for culture, adventure and community, Alex dove head-first into the culinary world. She moved from Toronto to Florence, Italy after earning her degree to immerse herself in Italian food culture. Alex took jobs while living there, in restaurants and as an au pair, and developed the flexibility and service mindset needed to apply for something completely new as an operations assistant at Quarterdeck. In this role, she grew the organization skills that she would later use in her Yacht Chef career on sailing yachts around the globe. Over the last 7 years, she has developed an exceptionally high standard of food preparation and presentation, along with an ever-growing knack for customer service. a major highlight was her time at the Ashburton Cookery school where she got a revamp on her culinary skills and new tips and techniques for emphasis on detail and presentation which she has used and continues to build upon. Alex has mastered the art of going above and beyond in her menu preparation, and in being first mate, guide, host and even friend to guests. As a charter chef based in the BVI since 2019, Alex is excited to not only serve up amazing meals, but also offer up her favorite BVI 'secret spots' to her guests!
Reviews
The crew:
Alex & Goran were spectacular. Safe, conscientious, easy to be around and felt like part of the family after just a couple of days. They gave us plenty of space if we needed, but were always there for anything we needed to make our trip that much more special. Goran is a knowledgeable and safe captain and took time to explain any questions we had. He was great with the teenagers, and entertained them throughout the week in the dingy doing water sports. He also made some pretty good cocktails!!
Alex was awesome helping us plan daily excursions as we stayed very active. She was resourceful and had great ideas of experiencing things to do! But, she also is an AMAZING chef. We had the most incredible meals and it was one of the highlights of the trip. Timely, healthy, supported all of our special food requests, and great service and table setting for each meal. They are an amazing team and we loved experiencing BVI with them as our crew!
The boat/accommodations:
The Krazy Kat itself is very very nice and felt nearly brand new. The cabins are spacious, everything works and functions great. There are several different areas to enjoy the boat so you have anything you desire (sun, shade, loungers, tables, couches, multiple decks, etc.). The boat was perfect for our family of 5 and offered great hang out space and plenty of privacy! The dinghy with water sports, the sea scooters and paddle boards offered a lot of easy fun to have around the boat while anchored each day! Kids loved wakeboarding behind the dingy!
The food and drink aboard KK:
As I said above, the food was one of the highlights. Alex made the provisioning process super easy with special requests and she nailed every single meal. It is seriously one thing I think our kids will remember most of the trip! Ha! All of the kid and adult beverages we desired were available at any time and plenty of fresh brewed coffee each morning! We also enjoyed a daily Happy Hour with a special cocktail (and kid version) made by Alex & Goran. That was a Great touch.
The experiences:
We decided that we wanted to be very active and do some sort of excursion each day as our teenagers like to do things while on vacation. So, Alex was awesome at helping us plan out the week and islands we visited based upon some of the excursions. We would HIGHLY recommend the following :
E-Foil near Saba Rock with Christian
Hobie Cat at Bitter End (although we didn't have much wind it was still fun...would have been amazing with more wind)
Tour the Baths and Devil's bay on Virgin Gorda (take a cooler! Could hang out here for hours next time)
Sail to Anegada (awesome putting the sails up!)
Snorkel tour and conk fishing with Sherwin's on Anegada
We stayed one night at Scrub Island resort. We wouldn't do that next time (not necessary and enjoyed the boat accommodations just as much). However, we checked out Anegada Beach Club while there and the "tent cottages" on the beach looked amazing and we would recommend spending more time there (or even a night off of the boat) next time
Last- everyone must go to Coco Maya. Alex made us a reservation and we had an amazing dinner experience. Super cool vibe!
The catamaran itself was fabulous - clean, well maintained and very spacious. For having 10 people on it, you never felt cramped or crowded. In the evenings we would all sit up on the fly bridge and there was plenty of room for everyone - a great place to gather and talk about what a fun day we had. They had provisioned Krazy Kat really well and the entire experience was just what I wanted it to be - very, very happy with that selection. The A/C worked great too!
Goran and Alex - LOVED them. Their teamwork is like a well choreographed dance and it's obvious they actually like and respect each other. Nothing either one of them wouldn't do for us, if we asked or even before we could ask! It was a pleasure to have them with us for this trip. Loved talking to them and getting to know a little bit about where they came from and how they ended up in the BVI's. We'd go again tomorrow if we could.
Goran was an excellent captain, focused & conscientious. Fun & funny too! Every day he'd study the weather patterns to ensure our next days sail would be safe and comfortable. He also went out of his way to get us to the Baths when the seas & cruise ship schedule weren't that favorable by docking later in the day in Spanish Town, arranging transportation to the park and then guiding us through the Baths - it was unexpected and quite wonderful to have his knowledge and guidance on this adventure. We had them come with us at several stops and I think we all had a blast! And we didn't just motor everywhere, they hoisted the sails and we got to experience that special quietness as well, nothing like it. Every stop and/or overnight spot was awesome - we were in quiet, calm bays, with just a few 'neighbors' where we could swim, float or just stare at the stars. It wasn't just A-B-C-D, check, check, check - It was a thoughtful itinerary developed by Alex & Goran to immerse us in this little corner of paradise, and it worked. He was also a great room steward!
Alex, man that girl can cook! Not a bad meal, snack or cocktail the entire trip. She took our preference sheet to heart and fed us spectacularly at every seating. Every meal also included a vegetarian option as well, very much appreciated (and gobbled up) by all. She made so many things from scratch - sourdough bread, hamburger buns & pasta, to name a few - it was incredible! She spoiled us with all the seafood we could eat plus favorites from hers & Goran's family traditions & customs, it was very special. She has the work ethic of a person twice her age & a 'nothing is too much' attitude. She is refreshing and amazing. Damn good sailor too!
Of course, sailing with us was just as spectacular for them I am sure - LOL! We appreciated that they played along with some of our shenanigans too - eye patches & a monkey - you know the usual! None of us will ever forget this trip -

You need someone to keep everything safe while you have fun? Gorans got you.
You need recommendation on what’s the best day plan agenda? Gorans got you.
You need a great friend you can talk and mess around with? Gorans got you.
Goran can do anything and everything period.
You’d be lucky to have him as your Captain and Alex as your chef. Alex was the best! She always took care of everything. We never needed to ask for anything, she was always on top of it. Alex and Goran worked so well together it made it week unforgettable. We miss them already and are so grateful for our week together.

Alex was everything we could’ve wanted and more! Her food was AMAZING, she was super helpful and sweet! We said when we come back for another charter we NEED Alex & Goran! They were AMAZING!

Both Jada and Cam are experts at what they do and are delightful company. We would always talk about so many interesting things in the evenings.
The Krazy Kat is also the best catamaran we’ve ever been on, beating out the Lagoon 62 that we chartered last time.
The experience could not have been better. Thanks so much for recommending Jada, Cam and the Krazy Kat.
Best, Alec
We had a wonderful time! The Boat was beautiful and spacious. Cam and Jada were excellent! They are such nice people. Cam is a great captain. He managed to schedule our trip around bad weather sneaking up on us. Jada is a marvelous cook. Every meal was expertly and deliciously prepared and served. Both of them are super nice. We had a great time playing cards at night with them and the kids. We hope they can visit us in Guatemala sometime.
Cameron, the Captain, was always courteous, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. He made a perfect choice on the itinerary and accommodated our wishes with enthusiasm. On top of this, he was always enjoying whatever we decided to do.
Jada, was fantastic in all regards, the cooking was exquisite and hard to believe it could be done on board. In top of that she always had a smile and kept on pampering us throughout the day.
The menu was an amazing surprise every day while keeping in mind our preferences. I had never experienced three gourmet meals a day.
We would charter this boat again in a heartbeat, but what really hooked us is the crew.
