The catamaran from Cesenatico to Croatia runs again
After a break, the catamaran from Cesenatico to Istria and Kvarner is running again. The catamaran resumed its maritime connections with Croatia on Saturday.
Boarding the catamaran is possible only with the new COVID-19 green pass.
Departing from the ports of Cesenatico and Pesaro, the destinations of Rovinj, Lošinj, Novalja (island of Pag) can be reached in a couple of hours. The departure is scheduled for 7:30 am and the return is in the evening at 10:00.
The price of the return tickets is about €58. There are also packages for stays in hotels and apartments for 3-4-7 nights on offer.
The connection with the other side of the Adriatic was interrupted in 2020 due to the corona pandemic.
The first voyage that inaugurated the 2021 season of the “Don Paolo“, a 47-meter-long boat that this year the owner and captain, Nazzareno Righetti from Cesena, decided to rename the “Nautilus” took place on Saturday, from the port of Pesaro (with transfer service organized from Cesenatico). There were 295 passengers on board. The destination was Rovinj with departure and arrival in Cesenatico on the same day.
The departures in August will be distributed for 5 days a week:
- Sunday and Wednesday departure from the port of Cesenatico to Rovinj;
- Monday and Thursday direct departure from Cesenatico and Pesaro to Lošinj and Novalja.
- Saturday departure from Cesenatico to Pesaro and then to Lošinj and Novalja.
The maritime connection with Croatia is made possible by the Pesaro tour operator Gomo Viaggi and by the Cesenatico shipowner Nazzareno Righetti.
Reactivating the maritime connection with Istria this year was undoubtedly a bet, but also an act of courage. It required a meticulous and demanding organization, including safety measures and controls to be adopted, many more than usual.
Paolo Gorini, manager of Gomo Viaggi
He also adds that those who travel by catamaran are mostly passengers from Romagna, Marche and Umbria, interested in discovering the other side of the Adriatic. However, he concludes that there are not that many of them.
