At 27 x 7 m the Kapetan Jure built in 2000, counts as one of the smallest ships of our Croatian fleet.
With an impressive 100 navigated tours she entered the Islandhopping history book. The fine detail etched into the wooden ship mirrors the seafaring affection of its captain. The spacious salon is decorated with shells, amphorae and showcases full of sailor’s knots.
At the bow a mermaid keeps watching for the safe navigation of the ship. The Kapetan Jure provides 15 cosy guest cabins each with
air conditioning, shower and WC. A spacious living room suite on the quarterdeck and a sundeck with cushioned sleeping mats play a part in contributing to the welcoming atmosphere.
