For the last few years, Luka has been the head chef aboard three motor yachts (50+ m). Luka loves working on yachts for the team atmosphere and adventure, but he was mostly drawn to yachts because of the freedom it gives in the kitchen. “When the entire menu and the final product on the plate depends on me, it encourages me to work harder and push the boundaries of my skills and creativity.” Luka is known for his hardworking attitude, calm nature, and team spirit. In terms of guest care, Luka has a very simple attitude – the guest is always right. When he isn’t working, Luka loves upskilling, video games, reading, and spending time with his wife and young son.
