Celic Boat
A family business rooted in Šibenik. We don't run a tourist company — we share the place we call home.
Born in Šibenik. Built on the Sea.
Celic Boat started the way most good things do — from a family that loved the sea and wanted to share it. Our home is Šibenik, one of Croatia's oldest and most beautiful cities. Our backyard is the Šibenik archipelago: dozens of car-free islands, hidden coves, and turquoise channels that most tourists never find.
We built something simple: a small family operation where every guest is treated as a personal guest. Captain Andrija knows every bay by heart. His sister Nina handles every booking personally. Our family's konoba on Zlarin island is where guests eat lunch — not a restaurant, but our actual home.
Rated #1 boat agency in Šibenik on TripAdvisor with a perfect 5.0 score across 95+ reviews, we remain what we've always been: a family that goes to sea.

Andrija Celić
Captain & Founder
Born and raised in Šibenik, Andrija has been navigating these waters his entire life. As the captain of Zeljan, he combines expert local knowledge with genuine warmth — guests consistently mention him by name in their reviews.
Nina Celić
Tours & Guest Experience
Andrija's sister and the warm face behind every reservation. Nina ensures every group feels like family from the first WhatsApp message to the last wave goodbye at the harbour.
“When guests leave Zlarin, they always say the same thing — they feel like they visited a friend, not a tour operator.”
— The Celić family
Three Boats. One Family.
Every vessel departs from Šibenik harbour — Obala hr. mornarice 1. No anonymous charter company. You always know whose boat you're on.
Zeljan
Traditional Wooden Vessel
Our flagship. A classic Dalmatian wooden boat with two decks and a shade canopy — used for all group excursions, island tours, and team building days.
Prkos
Open Motorboat
Fast, agile, and perfect for the taxi boat service and smaller private groups. Named after a streak of stubbornness — it always gets you there.
Otac Niko
Cabin Cruiser
Named after the family patriarch. The most comfortable vessel for longer crossings and VIP private tours. Full cabin, shade, and speed.
