What you can expect

The experience of gajeta Falkuša is protected as an item of intangible cultural heritage. Led by local Captain Pino Vojković, this intimate journey is limited to small groups of up to 8 people, ensuring a memorable adventure.

Relax sailing aboard this historic boat and travel back in time through captivating storytelling by a local guide while enjoying breathtaking views of Komiža Bay.

Experience setting up and sailing with a Latin sail and learn about different parts of the gajeta Falkuša boat which make this storey and experience unique.

Immerse yourself in the history, traditions, culture, and ancient life of local fishermen and hear about fascinating local heritage that has gained global recognition.

The fishermen from Komiža were the only offshore fishermen in the Mediterranean from the 16th until the 19th century. Gajeta Falkuša became the first Croatian fishing boat courageous enough to leave the Adriatic.

That said, this is not only a storey about sailing—it's a storey about bravery, strength, endurance, tradition, and the power of community.

Now, the Gajeta Falkuša boat is a symbol of Croatian maritime heritage, and the gajeta Falkuša experience holds the official “Croatian Island Product” designation.
