Yacht Description
Big group, one boat. ROMANCA is a 28.4m (93ft) custom motor/sailer built in 1998 and refit in 2020, set up to sleep up to 16 guests in 8 cabins.
Deck space that works. There is a large sun deck for the all-day lounging crowd, plus an outdoor dining area sized to keep the full group together instead of running shifts. Simple. Effective.
Indoor plan for 16. The open-plan salon and dining area uses panoramic windows and two generous tables to seat everyone, with a separate seating area and wet bar to keep traffic moving.
Proper water time. ROMANCA carries a RIB tender and a guest-friendly toy mix: stand-up jet ski, paddleboards, canoe, wakeboard, towable tube, adult water skis, and snorkeling gear for the slower-paced crew. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi are on board when it is time to cool off and reconnect.

Charter Reviews
Thank you for the week it will stay engraved in my dreams. Thank you Goran, Barbara, Sandro, Marin and dear last Marco.
Thanks to all of the boat staff, it was wonderful. It was the best week of my life. The food was healthy, the staff was so nice, thank you everyone.
How the f*** am I going to go back to my real life? No words for this amazing week, but a little game so you can have fun too! Match the right names with the right words:bed and breakfast fairy? bumpy or not bumpy? Bumpy at 5:00 and 7:00, Rose mojito at 7:00, the flying fish is delicious, this fish is sooo delicious.
Thank you so much!
Hvala od srca cijeloj posadi! Bilo je to predivno iskustvo – sve je bilo savršeno od početka do
kraja! Uživali smo u svakoj minuti plovidbe i osjećali smo se kao kod kuće. Radujemo se ponovnom susretu i želimo vam sve najbolje u budućnosti!
