Where we go
From the riva in Rovinj to St. Catherine's island, Red Island, and back.
If the bura blows, you don’t lose a cent
The bura is the cold north-easterly that can whip up the Adriatic in an hour. If we cancel a trip because of wind or weather, you choose: every euro back, or seats on another day. We decide on the morning and message you straight away.
Read the refund policyGood to know
Not here? Call or message us. Someone from the family picks up, usually from the riva.
Where do the boats leave from?
All three boats leave from the riva, the harbour front below Rovinj old town. Delfino uses berth 1, Bonaca berth 2 and Galeb berth 3. Your ticket names your boat, what she looks like and her berth. If you need a hand, find the Delfino booth on the riva and we'll walk you over.
Can I pay part now and the rest on board?
Yes. Pay a deposit online to hold your seats and settle the rest on board, in cash or by card. If you'd rather not think about it on the day, pay the full fare online.
What if the weather is bad?
If we cancel a trip because of wind or weather, you choose: a full refund of everything you paid, or seats on another day. We decide on the morning of the trip and message you straight away.
How much do children pay?
Children from 3 to 11 pay the kids' fare shown on every trip, and children under 3 travel free on a lap. We carry life jackets in every size. The Old Town Panorama is the easiest start for little ones.
