Growing up in a little coastal town, Mateo fell in love with the sea as a child. Here, every family had at least a small wooden boat and lives just from the sea.
Bringing 11 years of experience at sea, Mateo is one of the oldest members on board. The crew love him because he is humble and does his job with great dedication.
His role is on deck and taking care of the engine room. However, if anyone needs any help, whether that is in the galley, in the service department, or anywhere else – he is always there to help.
He loves working with Captain Ante for many reasons, but mostly he loves Ante’s style of management. When not at work, he loves hanging out with the crew and talking about sports.
His warm personality makes him a great fit on board Lupus Mare.

Luka is the youngest member on the deck team, and this is his third year on the sea working as a deckhand.
He comes from a maritime family, where nearly every member has worked on boats. On board, he is responsible for the deck, focusing on water toys, cleanliness, and navigational operations. He loves his work because it allows him to keep learning, earn well and spend his days at sea, which he believes nothing can beat.
Luka’s favorite part of life at sea is using the jet ski during free time between charters, with the captain’s permission. Passionate about football and sports in general, he leads a very active lifestyle. As such, you will never see him looking tired on the deck, because he is so used to being active.
Luka is a great addition to the team on board Lupus Mare.
