Her Story

Built in 1998 and lovingly renewed in 2020, Romanca represents the enduring appeal of traditional Croatian gulet craftsmanship. This 28.4-metre wooden vessel, measuring 7.92 metres at her beam with a draft of 3.35 metres, has remained in the trusted hands of the same family for more than a decade. Her single 570-horsepower engine provides reliable cruising along the Adriatic coastline, while her substantial fuel capacity of 9,000 litres and impressive 22,000-litre water tank ensure extended comfort during longer passages.

The vessel's character is defined by her warm wooden interiors, featuring polished mahogany furniture and stylish flooring throughout. Nine bathrooms serve the accommodation areas, while the fully equipped galley includes modern amenities such as ovens, grill, multiple refrigerators, deep freezers, ice maker, and espresso machine. Air conditioning operates 24 hours throughout all guest and crew areas, ensuring comfort in Croatia's warm Mediterranean climate.

Romanca's deck layout maximizes both social spaces and relaxation areas. The aft deck features a large outdoor lounge with sofa and dining table, perfect for leisurely al fresco meals prepared by the onboard chef. Above, the spacious sundeck offers comfortable loungers, mattresses, pillows, and a generous sofa arrangement for sunbathing and relaxation. The flybridge provides additional elevated space, while the interior salon houses two dining tables, a lounge bar, LCD TV, and DVD/CD player.

Under the attentive care of owner Andrea, who ensures the vessel maintains its position among Croatia's best-maintained gulets, Romanca delivers an elevated charter experience where traditional Adriatic charm meets contemporary comfort and professional service standards.
