Captain
Johan has an Austrian background and grew up on a family-owned sailing yacht traveling around the world.
Infected by travel fever, he chose to start a career in professional yachting when he was only 19, working on both sailing and motor yachts. In the past decade, he has worked his way up to a captain’s position, always committed to ensuring the best possible guest experience and valuing the high professionalism of every crew member. His main priority, aside from maintaining the vessel to the highest standard, is drawing from his seafarer’s background to find the best routes, sheltered bays, and special anchorages to make his guests enjoy a truly unique experience onboard.
In his free time, you will find Johan sailing his own sailboat, which he always keeps close, following his biggest passion.
Captain
Born in 1979, Matt serves as rotational Captain aboard CALADAN, sharing command responsibilities with Captain Johannes and ensuring continuity in the yacht's operation and guest experience.
His connection with the sea began through scuba diving. A qualified diving instructor, Matt started working on boats in 2005 before moving professionally into the yachting industry in 2011. He has since built extensive command experience aboard motor yachts in the 35-37m range, including 5 years running yachts throughout Asia. During his earlier years in yachting, Matt explored Southeast Asia extensively, cruising through Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand and the Philippines before turning his focus towards the Mediterranean. Today, he particularly enjoys introducing charter guests to the diversity of Mediterranean cruising - from finding secluded anchorages along the Croatian coast to experiencing the energy of Ibiza and Saint-Tropez.
Matt takes particular pride in maintaining the yacht in immaculate condition and ensuring she is always prepared for the next adventure. His approach combines safety, professionalism and attention to detail with an enthusiasm for discovering exceptional destinations and adapting each itinerary to the interests and expectations of the guests aboard.
Having worked alongside Alina since 2022, the pair brings an established professional relationship and valuable continuity to their rotational roles aboard CALADAN.
