About Us
Local Expertise
Personal Approach
My name is Vedran. I was born and have spent my entire life in Rovinj. I am a true local, and tourism has been part of my life from the very beginning. My family has been successfully running holiday apartments in our family home for over 45 years, so I quite literally grew up surrounded by guests from all over the world.
The sea has always been my greatest passion. I am a diver and a devoted boat enthusiast, and I have combined this love with my profession. From this passion, Rent a Boat Mare Nostrum was born in 2012, and it has been operating successfully for nearly 15 years. For me, this is not just a job – it is a way of life, because I truly do what I love.
I approach every detail with care, believing that true quality is revealed in the smallest thing
AVARAGE RATING ON GOOGLE REVIEWS
When selecting boats, I do not focus solely on financial efficiency. I purchase, equip, and maintain each vessel according to the same standards I would apply if I were choosing it for my own personal use, rather than purely for business purposes. My goal is for every guest to enjoy a safe, reliable, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and impeccably equipped boat that ensures the ultimate pleasure on the water. My philosophy is simple – guests should receive the same experience I would expect myself. Guest satisfaction is my absolute priority. That is why I have never wanted a large fleet. I prefer a smaller number of boats so that I can personally dedicate my attention to each guest. From the first contact and consultation to the handover and return of the boat, I am personally involved in every step. A reliable team assists with maintenance and preparation, including my son, to whom I pass on the same values of respect, responsibility, and dedication to every guest.
The large number of returning guests year after year is the best proof that we do our job well. Their trust and satisfaction are my greatest pride, because I believe that a satisfied guest is the key to every success!
- we speak 3 languages
- A true local experience
From a young age, I naturally learned several languages – English, German, and Italian – but more importantly, I learned how to communicate with guests and understand their habits, needs, and diverse cultures.
As a true local from Rovinj, I bring not only language skills but also authentic local knowledge and insight into every guest experience.
I am also a passionate traveler, which has given me a deep understanding of what it means to be a guest and how essential attention, flexibility, and a genuine sense of welcome are for creating a truly memorable holiday experience.
I graduated from the Faculty of Economics in Rijeka, but returning to my hometown of Rovinj after graduation felt completely natural. I love Rovinj and Istria and could never imagine living anywhere else.
