Her Story

Gulet Trebenna carries within her timbers a story that spans continents and centuries of seafaring tradition. Built in Turkey in 1987 according to time-honoured boatbuilding methods, she embodies the graceful silhouette and robust wooden construction that have defined the gulet form for generations. Named after an ancient Greek city, she was fully restored in Croatia in 2021 and underwent her most recent remodelling to exacting standards in 2024, ensuring that every inch of her reflects contemporary comfort without sacrificing an ounce of her original soul.

Her technical specifications speak to a vessel built for serious cruising pleasure. With a beam of 6.00 metres and a draught of 2.70 metres, Trebenna moves through the Adriatic with assured authority. A 206 kW Caterpillar 3306B engine provides reliable propulsion, while a 28 kW generator ensures uninterrupted power for all onboard systems. A watermaker producing 330 litres per hour keeps the 2,000-litre freshwater tank replenished on passage, and 3,000 litres of fuel capacity supports extended cruising along the Dalmatian coast. Her displacement of 55,490 kilograms reflects the solidity of genuine wooden construction — a vessel that feels as connected to the sea as she does to the traditions that shaped her.

The design philosophy aboard Trebenna is one of thoughtful restraint. The interior has been made to measure exclusively from top-quality materials, and carefully chosen pieces of furniture round off each space to create an atmosphere that is intimate, comfortable, and delicately refined. Mediterranean simplicity meets modern style in every detail — from the saloon's warm tones to the quietly elegant cabin interiors. There is nothing superfluous here; every element has been selected with the guest's comfort and sense of ease as the paramount consideration.

The deck layout rewards those who love to live outdoors. A fully shaded aft deck with a solid roof canopy creates a naturally cool dining and lounging space for up to twelve guests — the social heart of any charter day. The expansive 40-square-metre forward deck offers sun mattresses and additional outdoor seating, perfect for those who prefer to watch the coastline drift past from the bow. Crowning the vessel, the 50-square-metre upper sun deck is a sanctuary of light and air, complete with a jacuzzi and eight sun loungers, delivering an unobstructed 360-degree panorama of the Adriatic. Trebenna is, above all, a vessel conceived for life lived in the open air.

The Onboard Experience

Where the Adriatic Becomes Your World

Every comfort thoughtfully placed, every moment designed to linger.

Life aboard Trebenna unfolds across generously proportioned decks and a well-appointed interior that anticipates every need. The main saloon, spanning 25 square metres, accommodates up to twelve guests in relaxed comfort and is equipped with Wi-Fi, IPTV television, a PlayStation 4, and a selection of board games — the ideal setting for evenings when the anchor drops in a sheltered cove and the stars begin to appear. The fully equipped 13-square-metre galley is stocked with two refrigerators, two freezers, a dedicated wine store fridge, a separate drinks fridge, a dishwasher, an ice maker, and a coffee machine, allowing the onboard cook to deliver exceptional cuisine throughout the charter.

The aft deck, shaded by a solid roof canopy and measuring 18 square metres, is furnished with a large dining table and comfortably padded sofas — a perfect setting for alfresco breakfasts and convivial evening dinners beneath the Dalmatian sky. On the 40-square-metre forward deck, additional outdoor dining options, soft seating with cocktail tables, and generous sun mattresses invite guests to while away the hours as the gulet makes her way between islands. An outdoor shower is thoughtfully positioned on the forward deck for rinsing off after a swim. The crowning feature of Trebenna's exterior is the 50-square-metre upper sun deck, where a heated jacuzzi and eight full-length sun loungers create the most coveted address aboard — elevated above the waterline for total privacy and sweeping Adriatic views.

For those drawn to the water, Trebenna carries a purposeful collection of water sports equipment: a jet ski (available at 200 EUR per hour, operated by a licensed guest or crew member), a wakeboard, a ringo, a donut towable, snorkelling equipment for six, fishing gear, two canoes, and a tender with an outboard engine for excursions ashore. Stand-up paddleboards and a kayak are included in the charter rate, making it effortless to explore hidden sea caves and secluded beaches at one's own pace. All cabins benefit from individual air conditioning, and the vessel carries Croatian VAT, boat insurance, and fuel for four hours of daily cruising within the base charter price — a transparent and generous inclusion that sets Trebenna apart.

Guest Accommodation

Four Private Sanctuaries at Sea

Airy, intimate, and designed with every guest's comfort as the only priority.

Trebenna accommodates up to eight guests across four beautifully appointed cabins, each offering complete privacy through its own en-suite bathroom, individual air conditioning, and a dedicated IPTV television. The cabin layout has been thoughtfully arranged to ensure that every guest — whether travelling as a couple, a family, or among friends — enjoys a genuine sense of personal retreat, with natural light and privacy paramount throughout.

The stern cabin and the bow cabin are the most generous aboard, each measuring 20 square metres and furnished with a 180×200 cm double bed as the central feature; the stern cabin additionally offers a single bed of 70×240 cm, making it ideal as a master suite or family cabin. The two midship cabins — one to port, one to starboard — each span 14 square metres and are fitted with comfortable double beds (140×190 cm and 140×191 cm respectively), offering a serene and well-proportioned private space with en-suite facilities. All four cabins have been finished to a high standard as part of the 2024 remodelling, with quality materials and carefully considered furnishings that combine Mediterranean warmth with quiet modern elegance. Bed linen and towels are provided and changed throughout the charter, ensuring that every return to one's cabin feels as fresh as the first.

Croatia

The Adriatic’s Best-Kept Secret

The Dalmatian coast is among the most captivating cruising grounds in the Mediterranean, and Trebenna was made for precisely this world. Sailing out of Omiš — a dramatic town at the mouth of the Cetina River, where karst cliffs plunge into clear turquoise water — she charts a course through the Middle and South Adriatic that reveals the Croatian archipelago at its most magnificent. The island of Brač beckons with the marble-white village of Pučišća and the legendary crescent of Zlatni Rat beach; Hvar enchants with its lavender-scented hills, the Renaissance elegance of Stari Grad, and the crystalline swimming coves of the Pakleni Islands just offshore.

Further south, the island of Vis remains one of the Adriatic's most unspoiled treasures — a place of secluded anchorages, extraordinary seafood, and the extraordinary Blue Cave at Biševo, where refracted light turns the water an otherworldly cobalt. Makarska, with its sweeping bay framed by the Biokovo massif, offers lively promenades and swimming in the clear waters of Brela and Medići. The journey culminates in Split, where Diocletian's Palace — one of the ancient world's finest survivals — rises directly from the harbour's edge, its golden stone glowing in the late afternoon sun. For those who wish to venture further, a one-way cruise extending south to Dubrovnik is available, revealing the walled city and the islands of the southern Dalmatian archipelago.

Trebenna's three-person crew — captain, cook, and waiter/deckhand — bring local knowledge and genuine hospitality to every passage. The onboard cuisine celebrates the finest ingredients of the Dalmatian sea and hinterland, with a welcome dinner and one complimentary dinner included in every charter. Whether anchoring in a hidden cove for an afternoon of snorkelling, exploring Neolithic sites on a historical tour, or simply drifting between islands with a glass of Croatian wine in hand, Trebenna transforms the Adriatic into a deeply personal adventure.
