His career on the sea started in 1990, and it has provided him with great experience as a waiter and later as a Chef. He has sailed on different kinds of vessels including big cruisers from the companies Royal Caribbean (where he mastered the knowledge of the Italian language beside the standard English), Festival and Sun Cruises.
At one period in his life he has worked in well-known and established restaurants in Split, as Chef, but as his first love lies with the sea he decided to go back to ships where he has been working for the last 7 years. He positioned himself as a Chef on yachts (mini cruisers) of deluxe and deluxe superior categories owned by the most prestigious company on the Adriatic, Katarina-line.
For the last three consecutive years he has been recognized and awarded as the Best Chef in the Fleet and have created the Menus for the highest categories of the before mentioned ships.
Beside cooking, my great passion lies in sport, with which Petar has been engaged from his early age (running, yoga and boxing are just a few to mention). He is a non-smoker, and he practices a healthy lifestyle.
