Gajeta Falkusa

Falkusa could be one of the most famous boats in Adriatic, Gajeta Falkusas were used for fishing in the offshore islands of Palagruza. They were built very light and very fast to traverse long distances to off-shore islands. Recently there has been a resurgence in appreciation for the fast seaworthy craft with the fisherman’s race Rota Palagruzona. Presently, there are two replicas that make this journey Komiza- Lisboa, built in 1992 for the World Expo in Lisbon and Mikula, built more recently. Now there are two more vessels currently under construction.
