Her Story

Built in 1994 and thoughtfully renewed in 2014, Fortuna represents the enduring appeal of traditional gulet craftsmanship adapted for contemporary luxury charter. This 33-metre vessel, with her generous 6.3-metre beam and 3.4-metre draft, embodies the perfect balance between authentic Croatian maritime heritage and modern comfort expectations.

Her twin 306HP engines provide reliable propulsion for leisurely coastal exploration, while her traditional sailing rig with two large masts offers guests the timeless pleasure of wind-powered cruising along the Dalmatian coast. The vessel's recent renewal has enhanced her classic lines with contemporary amenities, creating spaces that feel both historically rooted and thoroughly modern.

Fortuna's interior design philosophy centers on understated elegance, with a spacious indoor salon featuring white furnishings, comfortable couches arranged around dining tables, and panoramic windows that frame the ever-changing Adriatic seascape. The fully equipped galley, complete with professional-grade ovens, grill, refrigeration systems, ice makers, and espresso machine, serves as the heart of the vessel's culinary program.

What truly distinguishes Fortuna is her exceptional crew, led by Captain Tonči Torić, whose three decades of sailing experience and deep knowledge of Croatia's hidden bays ensures both safety and discovery. Together with chef Mirna Torić, hostess Anđela, and deckhand Stjepan, they create an atmosphere of warm Croatian hospitality that transforms a charter into a genuine cultural immersion. Their decade-long tenure aboard Fortuna has refined their service to an art form, making guests feel welcomed into an extended maritime family.

The Onboard Experience

Life Aboard the Adriatic

Where Croatian tradition meets modern comfort on the water.

Fortuna's expansive deck areas provide multiple venues for both active pursuits and peaceful contemplation. The bow area features comfortable sunbathing mattresses and a cushioned bench with cocktail tables, creating an intimate forward lounge ideal for morning coffee or sunset aperitifs. Her stern deck showcases a large shaped couch surrounding a dining table, perfectly shaded for outstanding meals with panoramic sea views.

Adventure enthusiasts will appreciate the comprehensive collection of water toys, including water skis for thrilling rides behind the 4.5-metre tender with 40HP engine, a Ringo for group fun, a tandem kayak for exploring secluded coves, and a paddle board for peaceful morning excursions. Snorkeling equipment opens underwater worlds, while amateur fishing gear provides opportunities to try traditional Adriatic angling techniques. Board games and cards ensure entertainment during relaxing afternoon hours.

The vessel's entertainment systems include LCD TV with DVD player and a quality sound system, while Wi-Fi connectivity keeps guests connected when desired. Air conditioning throughout ensures comfort in all weather conditions, while the 220V electrical system with generator power provides reliable service even during sailing. The professional galley's ice makers and extensive refrigeration maintain the freshest ingredients for the chef's daily culinary creations, complementing the outdoor grilling facilities for authentic Croatian barbecue experiences.

Guest Accommodation

Intimate Quarters Above the Sea

Six thoughtfully designed cabins where Croatian hospitality meets personal comfort.

Fortuna's six well-equipped cabins create intimate retreats that reflect the vessel's commitment to authentic comfort. Four double cabins, each measuring 4.7 square metres, feature comfortable double beds and are complemented by two twin cabins of 4.25 square metres with flexible twin bed configurations. Every cabin includes a private en-suite bathroom equipped with hairdryer and luxury hygiene amenities, ensuring personal comfort throughout the charter.

The accommodation philosophy emphasizes practical luxury over ostentatious display. Each cabin features 220V electrical sockets operational whenever the generator runs, including during sailing, while air conditioning throughout guest areas ensures comfortable rest regardless of weather conditions. Quality bed linens are included, with two bathroom towels provided weekly per guest, plus one beach towel per person for the entire charter.

The thoughtful design extends to separate crew quarters, ensuring guest privacy while maintaining the professional service standards that have earned Fortuna her exceptional reputation. Additional towels are available upon request, reflecting the crew's attention to individual guest preferences and their commitment to personalised service that transforms accommodation from mere lodging into a genuine home away from home on the Adriatic.

Croatia

The Adriatic’s Best-Kept Secret

Fortuna serves as the perfect vessel for discovering Croatia's legendary Dalmatian coast, where her traditional design and experienced local crew create an authentic connection to this remarkable maritime culture. Based in Marina Kaštela near Split, she provides ideal access to the archipelago of islands that have made Croatian yacht charters legendary worldwide, from the lavender fields of Hvar to the pristine wilderness of Vis and Korčula's medieval charm.

Captain Tonči's three decades of local sailing experience unlock Croatia's most treasured secrets - remote anchorages accessible only to vessels of Fortuna's draft, traditional fishing villages where time seems suspended, and hidden coves where crystal-clear Adriatic waters invite swimming and snorkeling. The crew's intimate knowledge of Croatian cuisine, local markets, and cultural traditions transforms each day into a genuine immersion in Dalmatian island life.

Whether anchored in the famous Blue Cave vicinity near Vis, exploring Diocletian's Palace from Split's historic harbour, or discovering the quiet bays of Šolta and the Pakleni Islands, Fortuna offers an unhurried pace that allows guests to truly absorb the timeless rhythms of Croatian coastal life. Her traditional sailing capabilities add authenticity to the experience, while modern comforts ensure that guests can focus entirely on the extraordinary beauty of what many consider Europe's most spectacular sailing destination.
