In the heart of Dalmatia, where the sea is more than just a horizon—it’s a way of life—the Jeran family has built a legacy of seafaring tradition. Captain Zoran, his son Captain Luka, and their family are deeply connected to the Adriatic, navigating its waters with their two beloved ships, Meridijan and Aurelia. But this is more than just a father-and-son story. Luka’s younger brother, Duje, is also part of the journey, learning the ropes alongside him on Meridijan, preparing to one day take the helm himself. Luka’s mother, Nada, plays an essential role in running the business, ensuring that every detail on board is perfect, while the rest of the family works tirelessly behind the scenes. Together, they create an atmosphere that makes every guest feel like part of their seafaring family—welcomed with warmth, tradition, and a deep love for the sea.
