Love what you do and
you'll never work a day in your life...
It's the old saying that not many people get to live by, but for us here at Koda Sail it's pretty much our life motto!
We love what we do so much that sometimes it's easy to forget it is actually a job. And we think that's the way it should be. Find something you're passionate about and go for it!
​
Time to meet our team...they've never worked a day in their lives!
MEET CHRIS
What's your story?
From what started out as a short 2 month trip back in 2010, has now turned into a lifestyle for me. I've been traveling on and off in between other jobs since 2001, but now have decided that this is it, this is what I was born to do!
​
My travels have taken me to 60+ countries so far (there's still more on my list!), but whenever someone asks me where my favourite place in the world is, my response is ALWAYS Croatia...with Turkey and the Maldives a close second now ;)
​
It's such an amazing country, I'm totally in love with it!
Cities like Dubrovnik and Split are enriched in so much history, they still give me goosebumps. The people here are so friendly, helpful and very entertaining. I've made many local friends here over the years and can't wait to get back every Summer to catch up.
​
Guide of the Year Award:
In 2014 after a few years of experience under my belt, I placed 5th in the world in Tour Radar's 'Guide of the Year' awards, which was a nice reward for an already awesome job.
Being rated so highly from my past passengers is a nice recognition.
It's a great feeling to know you've had an influence on helping people enjoy their vacation.
MEET LUCAS
What's your story?
After spending the better part of a decade, living, working and travelling aboard, I have been fortunate enough to explore over 100 different countries. From big cities to beachside resorts, to jungles and the snowfields, I have shared countless life changing experience with so many amazing people from all walks of life. Through working with Koda Sail, I have been able to recreate the moments over and over again for everyone else who join us on our trips!
​
Known to my friends as 'Jack of all, but master of none,' I am an avid photographer, yoga teacher and adventurer, always looking to explore a new destination. I like to get off the beaten track when I'm not 'working', and recently spent a few months in the Middle East. I travelled through Iran, Lebanon, Oman, Jordan, Israel & Palestine which was amazing and like nowhere else on earth.
​
When I am not in Croatia or on the road exploring somewhere new, you can find me in the Maldives running the Koda Sail Island Hopping Tours, or in Bali and Africa with Indy Escapes. ​As you can see, I don't like to sit still!
Looking forward to meeting you all this Summer!
MEET ÇaÄŸdaÅŸ
What's your story?
ÇaÄŸdaÅŸ (pronounced Shaggy to make it easier for everyone), is a proud Turk who has worked in the tourism industry forever! He brings years of experience to Koda Sail and runs our Turquoise Delights & Lycian Dreams tour in southern Turkey.
​
A week on board with Shaggy and you'll never want to leave. One of the friendliest sailors on the seas, he's well known everywhere and will have the red carpet rolled out for you!
​
We are more than happy to have Shaggy on our ever growing Koda Sail team as he represents everything we are about with his experience, knowledge, passion and most of all, a great sense of humour!
​
Get on board with him this Summer on our Turquoise Delights & Lycian Dreams tours.
MEET SOPHIE
What's your story?
Sophie has been practicing yoga since 2014, starting her Yoga journey whilst travelling through Australia. She quickly realised how much it improved her well-being, fitness and flexibility!
On returning back home to the UK in 2019, Sophie decided to dive in to her teacher training and completed her 200hr Vinyasa flow teacher training at Frog Lotus International at the beautiful Suryalila in Southern Spain.
​
Since then, Sophie has been teaching regular yoga classes in various different spaces and studios. She now joins the Koda Sail team as we embark on adding more well-being to our tours.
​
On these tours with Sophie, she will help you improve strength, balance and flexibility. Adding regular yoga practice to your routine can help reduce levels of stress, increase your mental and physical energy and helps support any other physical movement or activities. Combine this with the beautiful surroundings of the Turquoise coastline, delicious foods and great company, and no doubt your batteries will be fully charged!
​
Get on board with Sophie this Summer on our special Yoga Edition of the Turquoise Delights tour.
MEET BEN
What's your story?
Being from London, travel has always been on my doorstep. From school trips, to family getaways to then moving abroad for work, travel has always been a part of my life.
I've been lucky enough to find a nice place for me within the tourism industry and have been guiding all over Europe since 2008 with large stints in Budapest and Croatia, places I consider my home away from home.
My favorite thing about being in Croatia is getting to show my guests this hidden treasure and seeing their reactions for the first time. I remember the first time I walked through the big gates in Dubrovnik and just love being able to walk through them now with my guests. I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan, so that's always an added bonus for getting to Dubrovnik :)
When I'm not 'working' in Croatia I am based in London and enjoy working on my side project www.everthoughtoftrying.com
With all my experience over the years travelling through Europe and finding the best experiences out there such as cooking schools in Italy, language courses in Spain and my personal favorite of cycling through the French countryside, I now get the chance to offer it through my website.
​
As you can see, travel is my life :)
MEET BRUNO
What's your story?
Bruno, along with his 5 brothers have grown up on the sea. Coming from the small seaside port town of Krilo, just south of Split, there is a long history of sailing and an expectation to carry on the family tradition.
​
Bruno's father was a Captain which meant the brothers spent most of their childhood at sea helping their father. This led to them all eventually working on the Adriatic, on different boats all Summer long. The chance to work together again started with Koda Sail, and they jumped at the opportunity.
​
Koda Sail has brought all 6 brothers together to sail all Summer long together as a family and create new memories with our Koda Sail passengers.
They love being able to work together again and invite you to be part of their family this Summer as we sail the Dalmatian coast.
WORK WITH US
As you can tell by now, working with Koda Sail is pretty awesome. Spending your Summers cruising the Mediterranean and showing off the magical coasts to all your passengers has got to be up there with one of the best jobs in the world.
​
At Koda Sail we aim to deliver the highest standard sailing holidays possible, with passionate staff that are super organised, have a big smile, a fun loving personality and a drive to deliver an entertaining and memorable vacation to all our passengers.
​
If you share the same enthusiasm and think you have what it takes to be a passionate guide with us at Koda Sail, then we'd love to hear from you!
