The Istrian wooden boat

Pasara, the Istrian
workhorse.

Wooden-bellied, low-slung, born for shallow Adriatic water. Ours are kept by hand each spring — varnish, brass, and a 5hp Yamaha that purrs along at a beach-walking pace.

Coves you'll reach

“It felt like the Adriatic handed us its keys for the afternoon — fifteen minutes of instructions and the rest of the day was simply ours.”

Common questions

Honest answers.

What you'll actually need, what's already on the boat, and what to do if the wind picks up.

Do I drive the boat myself?
Yes — you take the helm. Before casting off we run a 15-minute briefing at the dock covering starting, steering, anchoring, and the no-go zones around the old town port. We're a phone call away if anything comes up at sea.
How many people fit on a Pasara?
Up to five adults, comfortably. A small group, or a family with children. All ages welcome — we sort the safety kit at the dock.
What's already on the boat?
Bimini sun shade, swim ladder, anchor, paper map of the archipelago, dry bag, and a fully fuelled tank. You bring snacks, water, towels, and sun cream.
What if the weather turns?
If the morning forecast is unsafe — strong bura or jugo, lightning — we cancel and refund or reschedule, your call. The Pasara is a sheltered-water boat; we don't go out in rough conditions.
Where do we meet?
San Pelagio, our dock at Ul. Luigi Monti 2 — just north of the old town. We send the exact pin on WhatsApp once your booking is confirmed.
How do I pay?
Cash or card on the day, at the dock. No deposit, no online card form. If you need a written invoice for work, just ask when booking.

One harbour.
One summer.
Yours to command.
