Accommodation
ROMANCA accommodates up to 16 guests in 8 en-suite Double cabins, making her a particularly practical choice for large families, groups of friends and multi-generational charter parties.
8 Double Cabins
The current operator configuration provides eight Double cabins, each approximately 7.5 m² and designed for two guests.
Private En-Suite Bathrooms
Every guest cabin includes a private bathroom with shower, toilet and toiletries, together with towels and cabin storage.
Air-Conditioned Comfort
Guest cabins are air-conditioned, and current standard charter terms include continuous air-conditioning use during the charter.
Living Areas & Onboard Comfort
ROMANCA’s strongest advantage is the amount of usable living space available to a large group. The wide 7.92-metre beam creates substantial interior volume, while her traditional gulet deck layout provides separate areas for dining, sunbathing and relaxing.
A Traditional Croatian Gulet Experience
ROMANCA is a traditional family-operated wooden yacht that has spent many years cruising the Croatian coast. Rather than focusing on high-speed performance, her design prioritises large social spaces, comfortable cabins and relaxed movement between the islands.
Her layout works especially well for larger private groups because all guests can dine together, relax on the same sun deck and enjoy individual en-suite accommodation without the more compact proportions often found on conventional motor yachts of similar length.
For a Croatia charter built around swimming, island visits, alfresco meals and long days at anchor, ROMANCA offers a proven and sociable platform.
Relaxed Adriatic Cruising
ROMANCA is powered by a Caterpillar diesel engine producing approximately 570 HP. Her operating profile is centred around relaxed coastal cruising at approximately 9 knots rather than high-speed passages.
This cruising style is particularly well suited to the Dalmatian coast, where relatively short distances between islands allow guests to spend more time swimming, dining and exploring ashore.
Tender & Water Toys
ROMANCA offers a varied water-sports package designed for active days at anchor along the Croatian coast.
5.3m Tender
A 5.3-metre tender with approximately 100 HP outboard supports guest transfers and water-sports activities.
Jet Ski & SeaBob
Current charter inventories advertise a Jet Ski and SeaBob, subject to confirmed availability, local regulations and additional operating charges.
Paddleboards & Canoes
Stand-up paddleboards
Canoes / kayaks
Inflatable platform
Boards & Skiing
Water skis
Wakeboard
Kneeboard
Towable Toys
Towable tubes and other inflatable toys provide additional activities for families and groups.
Snorkelling & Fishing
Snorkelling and basic recreational fishing equipment are available for exploring bays and anchorages.
Tender and water-toy inventories may change between charter periods. Jet Ski and other motorised water sports are subject to local regulations, weather conditions and additional fuel or hourly operating charges. Current inventory should be reconfirmed before charter.
