Riva Tours: MY Vilma

Riva Tours: MY Vilma

It was more than fifty years ago when Srećko Novaković began taking holidaymakers around the Croatian islands on his ship Pravedan. For several years, his son Mario, who also played professional football in Germany, has been at his side. Mario thought long and hard about how he could offer his guests even more comfort. Since you can't simply make a "small" ship like the Pravedan bigger, he decided to build a new ship. And he decided to build a ship without masts, not a motor sailor, but a comfortable motor yacht - the MY Vilma. It cannot be denied that such a ship also has its advantages: you can also sail under bridges that are too low for most motor sailors. Such as the bridge over the Neretva River near Rogotin, which is one meter too low even for the Pravedan, which is "only" 15 meters high. The Vilma can therefore also travel on route T5 through the unique Neretva Delta to Metković, wherefrom it is only a stone's throw to Mostar. The Vilma quickly became one of the busiest ships in the fleet, and this is certainly not only due to the comfort on board, but also the hospitality and service of the Novaković family.
