Velero Elan 40 Performance (2003)

This is for people who don't need luxury to feel rich. For CEOs, founders, engineers, and burned-out minds who understand that calm is the real upgrade.

I am a professional photographer with over nine years on cruise ships worldwide — Getty Images, iStockphoto — and a sailor since 2010. S/Y Maxim is my Elan 40 Performance, named after my son. She is fast, honest, and well looked after.

What I offer is not a charter. It is a sailing experience — for those who know the difference. We sail selected routes between Split's islands: Šolta, Brač, Hvar, Vis. Each day shaped by wind, light, and what the sea decides. If you want, I photograph it. Not posed — real moments, the way light hits water, the way people look when they forget to perform.

Routes, timing, and stops adapt to you. What doesn't change: the quiet, the speed under sail, and the fact that you will leave with something you didn't expect.

Skipper mandatory. Non-smoking. Fuel, marina fees, and meals not included.
