About Boat Barbara
A small family-run boat experience based in Fažana, built on a deep love for the sea and over three decades of navigation experience. We don't just offer boat tours — we create personal Adriatic moments designed to feel relaxed, intimate and unforgettable.
Our Story
A family passion for the sea
Boat Barbara is a small, family-led boat excursion service based in Fažana. What began as a love for the sea and navigation has grown into a carefully designed experience for families, couples and small groups who value privacy, comfort and personal attention.
We believe the sea should be experienced slowly, naturally and without crowds. That is why our boat welcomes up to 12 guests, ensuring a relaxed and intimate atmosphere on every tour.
