Boats on the eastern coast of the Adriatic were done by centuries. Of course building material was wood. These boats are long time improve,until finally they have not achieved the form, which is ensured greater strength, durability and better navigability. During the time centers of wooden shipbuilding were developed , especially on the island of Korcula, then in Trogir city, etc.. That knowledge is used for the construction of Santa Maria, 'Kaštela caravel', which is prototype and certainly unique.
The ship was designed and built by engineer Fabjan Klaic, respecting the tradition, but also aligned new and modern ship's equipment, so doing compromise beatvine the comfort and original. The ship is entirely made of quality wood that is treated with great precision, used mostly rare traditional shipbuilding tool.
