Welcome aboard

A small boat, a big stretch of sea, and time to slow down.

Harpun is a family-run boat operating out of Rovinj — a traditional wooden vessel of the kind these waters have known for generations. We take small groups out for the day, for the sunset, or simply across to the islands. Come as guests, leave as friends.

02The Boat

The boat & the family

A traditional wooden boat, kept by hand and by heart.

Our boat is a traditional wooden Istrian vessel, built for these waters. She isn't a fibreglass charter; every plank, rope and brass fitting is looked after by the family who skippers her.

That's the whole idea. You're not booking a seat on a tour bus of the sea — you're stepping aboard a real boat, with people who grew up on this coast and still get a kick out of showing it off. Children are welcome, questions are welcome, and there's always a hand to help you on board.
