Adriatic excellence<br />
Stjepan Lučin looks at the rich shipping history<br />
on the Dalmatian coast in Croatia and highlights<br />
the first class facilities and expertise on offer for<br />
superyacht refit and repair in this region<br />
The Croatian coast has been<br />
attracting sailors from all corners<br />
of the globe in recent years thanks<br />
to its breathtaking 1000 islands<br />
and hundreds of blue flag beaches. The fact<br />
that seems to remain still recognised only<br />
by the true connoisseurs is that Croatia has<br />
a centuries long shipbuilding tradition. Over<br />
the years, in some cases, this traditional<br />
shipbuilding knowledge transformed into<br />
high-end superyacht refit and service<br />
specialised companies. One of the most<br />
prominent examples is Adria Docks, the<br />
company that provides a complete servicing<br />
and maintenance for yachts, superyachts,<br />
and other types of vessels up to 150m long,<br />
on floating docks. Excellent infrastructure<br />
and location are some of the advantages,<br />
but the long standing tradition from which<br />
engineers and employees draw knowledge<br />
is the basis of their excellence.<br />
“Having almost a century-old tradition of<br />
refit and ship maintenance at this location is<br />
certainly an important part of our business<br />
as it demonstrates our extensive ‘know how’<br />
in this area, enabling us to successfully<br />
sustain our activity for such a long period.<br />
On this foundation, we took a significant<br />
step forward in 2009 towards maintaining<br />
and refitting yachts and superyachts. Since<br />
then, the refit activity at Trogir shipyard has<br />
evolved, especially since the establishment<br />
of Adria Docks in 2018, transforming it into<br />
an exclusive destination for yacht owners<br />
and management companies,” explained<br />
Stjepan Lučin, the director of the company.<br />
Adria Docks ticks all the boxes when it comes<br />
to the pre-requisites captains and yacht<br />
owners consider when choosing where to<br />
entrust their vessel, including geographical<br />
location, reputation, and infrastructure, to<br />
name just a few. This refit shipyard is in<br />
Trogir, one of Croatia’s most precious gems<br />
