OUR STORY
A family connection to the sea since the 1950s
Our journey with the sea began in the 1950s in Novigrad, on the beautiful Istrian coast of Croatia.
It all started with my grandfather Josip, a skilled ship mechanic and fisherman whose passion for the sea was passed down through generations. My father Željko continued this tradition as a ship’s Chief Engineer Officer, deepening our family’s knowledge and respect for the sea.
Today, Marea is a proud family-owned business based in Novigrad, combining decades of maritime experience with a passion for creating unforgettable experiences along the Istrian coast.
Our boats are personally owned and cared for by my father Željko, my brother Lenard, and me, Gregor.
We invite our guests to discover the Adriatic with us and experience the same passion for the sea that has been part of our family for generations.
