Since ancient times, the sea and those living on the coast have been bonded together in an interdependent relationship. Ships were used for traveling and exploring new lands. The human instinct to trade is the reason why for thousands of years goods and product from every Mediterranean region have been transported to the Croatian coast. Infact, the oldest drawing of a vessel in Europe came from the Croatian coast and can be found in Grapceva cave on the island of Hvar.
Hundred of thousands of vessels of all types and shapes were built by inhabitants of Croatian coast from times immemorial until the present. They are used for traveling, trading and for defence.
Nowadays the Croatian shipbuilding industry produces all types of modern vessels as well as restoring old sailing ships to allow you to experience the feel and the touch of an ancient sailing adventure.
