Founded in 2002 by AD Boats on the island of Solta in Croatia. It specialises in performance cruisers built around a galvanised steel frame bonded into the hull, a construction it shares with few production yards. Every Salona on Adriavela is a sail boat.
Adriavela lists 30 Salona boats. They cover 7 separate models, the largest groups being Salona 41 (10), Salona 46 (10) and Salona 38 (3). Lengths run from 11 to 14.1 metres. Accommodation runs to 3 to 4 cabins and 6 to 10 berths. Build years run from 2007 to 2023.
They are spread across 5 countries, the largest group of them - 13 boats - in Croatia. Prices start at €219 a day on a 7-day charter, across the 29 boats that carry a published rate; the rest are quoted on request. A monohull of this size takes a full crew and still handles like a sailing boat, which is what most skippered weeks on this coast are booked for.
