Meet Yacht Captain Edin
Yacht Captain Edin knew he had the travel bug after moving to the United States. Born in Germany to Croatian and Bosnian parents, Edin moved to Washington state in the year 2000. Soon after, he discovered his love for the outdoors.
When he wasn’t in school, he spent his time hiking, biking, fishing, and snowboarding. He traveled all around the beautiful Pacific Northwest. He’s truly been an outdoorsman at heart since the beginning. It was clear that once he graduated, he’d find a travel-based career.
Edin fell in love with the world of yachting in 2013. He began his yachting career aboard motor yachts in the Mediterranean Sea, working towards his goal: becoming a yacht captain. There, he experienced the gold-standard in traditional yachting locales including:
- Mallorca, Spain
- Ibiza, Spain
- Saint-Tropez, France
- Antibes, France
- Nice, France
- Monaco
- Portofino, Italy
- Amalfi, Italy
- Positano, Italy
- Capri, Italy
- Croatia
- and many more
While Edin was working aboard some of the world’s most impressive yachts, he also received a degree in Business Administration from Gonzaga University.
After college graduation, Edin made his way to the Western Hemisphere to work as a full-time yacht captain in the Bahamas. During his time in the Caribbean, he quickly gained valuable experience of the Atlantic Ocean with frequent cruises from the Bahamas’ bustling boating communities.
Finally, Edin traveled to Hilton Head Island for his new adventure and we are lucky to have such a well-versed private yacht captain!
Presently, Top Shelf motor yacht Captain Edin brings his incredible international experience to Hilton Head Yacht Charters, where he runs a tight and fun ship!

What Does a Private Yacht Captain Do?
You may be surprised to learn there is a lot more to the yacht captain job than steering the vessel.
To begin with, Captain Edin is responsible for the complete yachting program, including managing crew members, tracking weather patterns, planning excursions, and of course, ensuring each yacht charter is safe and smooth.
Similar to a CEO of a land-based business, private yacht captains are the leaders of the whole show. From the bow to the stern, the captain is responsible for everyone and everything, including below deck.
Captain Edin is the:
- navigator
- crew supervisor
- safety operator
- service supervisor
- main vessel communicator
- and so much more
We love Captain Edin for so many reasons! He always has a positive attitude, he is committed to maintaining top safety standards and procedures, and he has incredible leadership skills.
