Central theme of the article is directed towards a section of military and naval career of Anthony, son of Christopher Mazarović of Perast, who commanded a number of Venetian warships in the last decades of the existence of the Serenissima. The article is based on the research of unpublished and until now very seldomly used source materials from the State Archive of Venice / Archivio di Stato di Venezia (archival series of Venetian magistracy in charge of navy called as the Provveditori all'Armar). In the introductory part of the text are given, in the first place on the basis of the results of previous scholarship, basic data on meritorious scions of the Mazarović family, especially those who excelled themselves in Venetian military service during the early modern period. In the focus of the research interest is Anthony Mazarović, captain on which there is almost no mentions in the historiography. Based on the archival sources, Mazarović’s agency in the rank of lieutenant-commander, when he was captain of corvette Rondinella (1774–1775) and xebec Achille (1778–1785). The complement of the crew of these ships is analysed in details, with special attention to the homeland origin of its members. In that analysis particular attention is awarded to that part of the crew who were by their origin from the east Adriatic coast. At the end, in the conclusion is stressed that this article tries to shed light on a section of military and naval career of a meritorious, but in the historiography little known sea captain from Boka Kotorska, a high officer of Venetian navy. As an appendix, to the article is added lists of crew members of ships Rondinella (list of 1774) and Achille (list of 1778).
