"Plomin" is one of the boats used on this tour and is a 27 metre long, 7 metre wide two-masted yacht that was built in 1948. In 1987, 1995, 2002 and 2003 the ship was reconstructed for cruising by Captain Klaudio from Zadar, and each of the 16 guest cabins was furnished with a shower and a toilet. Below deck there are 8 cabins with a porthole. If required, the area below deck can be air-conditioned at night (provided the ship is in a harbour). The remaining 8 cabins are on deck, and each has a door that opens to the outside. 4 of the cabins are furnished with two beds, which are arranged one above the other, and the other 4 have 'french' double beds. All cabins are furnished with a shower and a toilet. The front sundeck has a size of 80 m2, the rear sundeck 20 m2, while the deck above the bridge measures 60 m2. With a width of 7m, a large saloon renovated in 2003 and the spacious sundecks, Captain Klaudio's "Plomin" offers a generous amount of space to its guests.
We use a German operator for these holidays, and as other agents in Europe and America, such as ourselves, sell these tours it is likely you will have a mix of German and other nationalities on this tour adding to the cultural enjoyment.
