Karmen Jurčić is a passionate and dedicated 25-year-old chef with a diverse background in the hospitality and gastronomy industries. After starting her career as a head waitress in a renowned restaurant and later as a chef on sailing boats, she decided to follow her true calling in the culinary world. Originally trained as a medical technician, she made a bold career shift and pursued her studies in gastronomy, first in Naples, Italy, and currently at the prestigious Aspira School in Split, Croatia.

Karmen’s expertise extends beyond cooking—she has a deep knowledge of wine, having attended the Wine Academy in Split and participated as a sommelier at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles – Rosé Wines Session, an international wine tasting event.

Her culinary talent was recognized when she became one of the top five contestants in the regional MasterChef competition, a significant milestone in her career that showcases both her skill and dedication to her craft. Fluent in English, and conversational in Italian and German, Karmen continues to expand her knowledge and refine her culinary abilities, with an unwavering commitment to her growth in the gastronomy field.

Her favourite dish to prepare onboard is risotto, pasta and salads that harmonize with Dalmatian ingredients such as fresh fish. Additionally, she loves oganizing themed evenings that connect to the islands and highlight the traditional dishes of those regions.

She says she can not single out one place on the Adriatic coast, as she feels like every island has its own soul and is worth visiting. She feels welcomed by nature, history, food and local people.
