The Otac Ivan has been an integral part of the Riva fleet for many years, and many guests came back again and again on “their” ship. For a long time, the Otac Ivan was in the hands of the legendary Captain Branimir, until he decided a few years ago with a heavy heart to retire. He sold his ship to two brothers from Omiš who took turns at the helm. After one of them returned to cargo shipping and the other took over his newly built ship, the Otac Ivan was for sale again. The young captain Dino Šare – he comes from a family with a long seafaring tradition and he grew up on ships – decided together with his future wife Larissa to take advantage of the opportunity and show his own guests the beauties of the Dalmatian island world. While Dino holds the helm of the Otac Ivan with a sure hand, Larissa – who speaks well English and German – takes care of all the needs of her guests on board. As a graduate psychologist who has worked on our ships for several years during the semester breaks, she will lip-read your wishes. For the 2020 season, all cabins and bathrooms as well as the saloon have been renovated.
