Gulet Ardura is built in lines of Croatian authentic wooden boat called trabakul. Once the mainstay of coastal shipping, this wooden freight ship dates to the 15th century when it was used as a Dalmatian-Venetian merchant vessel, taking its name from ‘trabacca’ or tent, after the boat’s sails. Slow, reliable, and made of oak and larch, they had round bows and sterns, and were wide, compact and with good stowage .Ranging between 50 to 200 tons a typical trabakul was 20 meters long, had two masts with lug-sails and rigging, a bowsprit, and large rudder extended below the depth of the keel. Trabakul had carved and colorfully painted stern, a breadth equal to about a third of the length and a crew of 10-20 ‘trabaccolos’.

The idea of her owners and creators is to offer their guests unique possibility to experience Croatian coast surrounded by Croatian history and hospitality as much as possible.

Gulet Ardura provides accommodation for up to 12 guests in 2 double and 4 convertible en-suite cabins. All cabins are located in separated area on lower deck, taking the center area of the hull: all cabins are about the same size, with en-suite bathrooms. Bow and stern area on lower deck are designated for crew quarters and galley.

The interior decoration of the cabins is very elegant and non-obtrusive; chosen to create calming and relaxing vibe. Stepping up from any of the guests’ cabins we’ll enter to salon; 25 m2 of bright interior space situated on the main deck, comprising lounge area with the bar, inside dining area and steering place.

Let’s step out from the salon to the bow where al fresco dining area and a cushioned part behind it are simply imposing relaxed atmosphere. The area is covered (shaded) by upper deck construction. Still, if you are up for more dedicated rest on a sun mattress – please enjoy one of those in the front area. Even if front deck is your choice only for sunset cocktails, or perhaps for morning coffee – you will enjoy both of these at the lounge area comprising sofa and tables.

Beautiful and unique trabakul Ardura offers to her guests a wide range of entertainment as she is well supplied with water sports equipment.
