About us · Est. 1994

A small boat.
Big Adriatic days.

Our wooden motosailer was handcrafted by my father, and we've been sailing her out of Bol since 2000. Six tables on the main deck — one for each group — so you always have your own corner of the boat, in the shade. The upper deck is open and sunny, with platforms to jump from and a slide if you feel like it — and if not, there's snorkeling gear and paddleboards. Toilet aboard, food options available. We anchor where the water is calm and the coves are quiet. No hidden fees, no extra costs — €65 for the ticket, €55 for the food package.

Private charter

Private sunset tour

The boat is yours, out on the Adriatic as the light turns to gold. It's an easy, romantic way to spend an evening — timed for the sunset and booked simply by the hour, for as long as you like.

Our story · Handbuilt in Bol

Built by hand, by the whole village.

She started as a keel and a stack of timber in a yard above the harbour. My father shaped every rib by eye, bending the wood plank by plank, and the neighbours came by to lend a hand, an opinion, and a coffee. No moulds, no factory — just the old Dalmatian way, a slow summer of sawdust and patience. When she finally slipped into the water off Bol, half the town was there to watch. She's carried our guests ever since.

“The other standout from this visit was a sailing trip we did with Milan, the owner of the excursion boat Veli, based in Bol. I will be honest — I have done a lot of boat trips along the Dalmatian coast over the years, and a lot of them blur together. This one did not. It was just a fantastic experience, and Milan clearly knows what he is doing.”
