Voted the Best Luxury 100-ft Navetta Yacht in the Croatian Islands
A Delicious Welcome Onboard!
From the moment you step aboard IMAGINE, your journey is not only through the crystal waters of the Adriatic—but through its vibrant flavours as well. At the heart of this experience is our talented onboard chef, Filip Stanić, whose passion for fresh, regional cuisine and Michelin-level precision brings something truly exceptional to every plate.
Born and raised in Split, Filip’s culinary path led him through some of the Adriatic’s finest kitchens. He trained as Chef de Partie at the Michelin-starred Pelegrini in Šibenik and further honed his skills at JAZ by Ana Roš, the Ljubljana bistro of world-renowned Chef Ana Roš. These experiences taught him to celebrate the essence of each ingredient and to craft refined yet soulful dishes.
Every day aboard IMAGINE, Filip hand-selects local ingredients—line-caught seafood, wild herbs, and seasonal vegetables—sourced directly from trusted markets and family farms along the Croatian coast. His menus are inspired by the Mediterranean and guided by what is freshest and most flavourful.
Expect elegant creations such as citrus-marinated amberjack with garden fennel, creamy black risotto with cuttlefish ink, or slow-roasted lamb infused with rosemary and garlic. Light lunches, sunset canapés, and multi-course evening feasts are all carefully tailored to your preferences. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or following a specific diet, Filip crafts each dish with thoughtfulness and creativity.
Complementing his cuisine is the impeccable service from Julija, our Chief Stew, and Maddy, our dedicated Stew. Their attention to detail—from refined table settings to thoughtful wine pairings—makes every meal an experience to savour.
On IMAGINE, dining isn’t just part of your journey—it is a highlight of it. Let us take you on a culinary voyage you will never forget!
Chef Filip Stanić
A Refined Culinary Talent with a Global Palate
Raised in the coastal town of Split, Chef Filip Stanić brings a quiet confidence and an uncompromising love for flavour to the galley of IMAGINE. With a background forged in some of the Adriatic's most respected kitchens, Filip’s cooking reflects both skill and soul.
He trained at the Michelin-starred Pelegrini in Šibenik, where he worked as Chef de Partie, mastering both meat and vegetarian tasting menus. From there, he joined JAZ by Ana Roš in Ljubljana—an innovative bistro by the three-Michelin-starred chef of Hiša Franko—where he sharpened his creativity and precision in a high-paced, visionary kitchen.
But Filip’s true inspiration comes from what’s around him: the sea, the markets, and the seasons. Each dish he prepares aboard IMAGINE is a tribute to local Croatian ingredients—amberjack fresh off the boat, wild herbs foraged in the morning, or figs sun-ripened just hours before being served.
Calm, attentive, and deeply thoughtful in his craft, Filip takes pride in tailoring his menus to every guest. Whether preparing a fresh, health-conscious lunch or a decadent evening tasting menu, he brings the same dedication to excellence and warmth to every plate.
On IMAGINE, Filip is not just your chef—he is your guide on a journey through the tastes of the Adriatic.
