Romanca
Sleeping up to 18 guests, the 28.4 meter gulet ROMANCA can accommodate more than most gulets so is ideal for larger groups of families and friends for island hopping cruises of Croatia & the Dalmatian Coast. Perfect for celebrations of important Birthdays, Wedding Anniversaries or just an excuse for families and friends to get together for a good time, drink some nice wine and sample the delights of the local Dalmatian cuisine. The deck area of the boat is also very large compared to other gulets, so there is plenty of space to move around, and there is one big open space on the top deck, which is ideal for having parties and dancing in the evenings as well as relaxing and sunbathing in the daytime. The boat was one of the first to offer cruises in Croatia, so they have lots of cruising experience and know how to please their clients. Romanca can start from either Split or Dubrovnik and its itineraries include Trogir, Vis, Hvar and Korcula, Mljet, Sipan, and many more places. The boat comes with a friendly and attentive crew of 6 including skipper, first mate, cook, hostess and 2 deck-hands.

The crew (specified above), harbour fees, water, electricity, clean bed linen, clean shower and sunbathing towels (changed at least twice a week), a free welcome drink, fuel for 4 hours cruising a day (which is usually more than enough), Wi-Fi Internet connection, personal injury insurance while on the boat, and free use of onboard equipment specified above.
​
Charter price doesn't include
Meals & other drinks aboard (specified above), transfers between the airport and boat, National Park entrance fees and tips to the crew.
​
Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a percentage of the charter price to be paid in advance to cover your expenses during the cruise, such as meals, drinks, harbour fees, etc. The APA is held on account on your behalf and at the end of the week the total of all your expenses will be deducted and the balance will be refunded to you (it does not include tips to the crew, which need to be paid separately). Not all boats ask for an APA (see above) but ask for meals and all-inclusive drinks to be paid on arrival and harbour fees to be paid locally as you arrive in each port.
​
The boats' charter season is usually from the beginning of May to the end of October and this is usually divided into 3 price periods, with Low Season usually comprising May & October, Mid Season usually comprising June & September, and High Season usually comprising July & August. Some boats, however, can have as few as 2 different pricing periods and some as many as 4 or even 5, and the dates for these can vary, so if you are confused, which is understandable, please don't hesitate to
