Sail Korčula

The Story of Vila

Step aboard Vila — a beautifully restored wooden sailboat built in 1941 in Korčula and one of the last of her kind still sailing the Adriatic. Sunk on purpose during World War II to avoid capture, Vila survived quietly for over seventy years in the care of a local sailor.

We found her miles away from Korčula, hidden in a quiet corner of the Adriatic. In 2024 we brought Vila back home, to where she belongs. She carries the charm of a bygone era, offering guests a rare chance to sail as people once did: slowly, peacefully and close to nature.

Every detail tells a story — the smooth wooden decks, the scent of pine and sea, the soft rhythm of her vintage engine. A journey on Vila isn't just a boat trip — it's a celebration of the Adriatic's history and a glimpse into the soul of island life.
