Did you know that Krilo Jesenice, our small but mighty coastal gem near Split, owes much of its success to the blessings of Saint Nicholas, or as we call him, Sveti Nikola? โตโค๏ธ
Saint Nicholas, famously known as the patron saint of sailors and children, holds a special place in our hearts. For generations, weโve gathered every year to honor him, celebrating his role in protecting our lives, our loved ones, and our livelihood. But his connection to Krilo Jesenice runs even deeper.

Our journey began with ships designed to extract sand from the seabed near the Cetina Riverโs estuary in Omiลก. These humble beginnings paved the way for a transformation that shaped our future. Driven by innovation and a love for the sea, we converted those vessels into beautiful small cruise ships. This vision launched a thriving tourism industry, introducing countless visitors to the wonders of Croatian waters.
Today, Krilo Jesenice is the largest port for small cruise ships, boasting a fleet of ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ. Nearly every family here owns at least one boat, a testament to our maritime spirit and community-driven success. Thanks to Sveti Nikolaโs protection, weโve grown from sand carriers to hosts of unforgettable Adriatic adventures.
