Donate So Others Can Go
Let Others Feel the Sea — Donate So Someone Else Can Go
Some people need a moment that changes them. A breath of sea air. A wild ride across the waves in something old, restored, and roaring again with life. But not everyone can afford to go. And that’s where this part of the project begins. This isn’t just about speedboats. It’s about making space. It’s about offering others the kind of story they’ll tell for the rest of their lives — because someone, somewhere, thought they deserved to feel it too. Here, your contribution becomes water on fertile ground. What you give today helps someone else grow into something new.
How It Gently Unfolds
This is a transparent and community-powered initiative, and here’s how it functions:
The Restoration Project: Breathing Life Into Lost Boats
Every donated tour is also a seed that helps us restore another vessel. These boats are not bought — they are rescued. From yards, fields, and forgotten shorelines, we bring them home. Through the contributions of people like you, each boat becomes more than just fiberglass and wood — it becomes a second chance, not only for the vessel, but for the stories it will carry. When you help someone go, you’re also helping another boat rise. You’re helping us recover maritime legends and give them back to the sea — not behind velvet ropes in a museum, but under open skies, powered by V8 engines, guided by rock and wind. Every tour we give creates energy for the next restoration. Every free seat we sponsor brings us closer to the next revival. The more we give, the more boats we restore. The more we restore, the more people can go. This is how we keep the circle moving.
Why We Do This: Purpose First, Always
Behind every engine bolt, paint coat, or compass course is something deeper. This isn’t just a business. This is a calling. The founder — a licensed captain with nearly a decade at sea — has always seen this project as more than just a tourism venture. It’s a way to preserve forgotten beauty, to share the sea’s magic, and to offer others something real — something that stirs the soul. Not driven by trends. Not built for tourists who want convenience and comfort. This is for those who seek story, feeling, and connection. In Japan, there’s a word: ikigai — the reason for being. This project is his ikigai. A place where profession, mission, love, and need all meet in one wave. That’s why we open seats for those who need them. Why we take the time to restore instead of replace. Why we choose authenticity over scale. And why, when you support this, you’re not just helping us run tours — you’re joining something much more alive. A movement powered by empathy, by craftsmanship, and by the wild call of the sea. There must be something higher to live for, so you can do better for it.
No One Has Sat in That Seat… Yet.
This initiative is new and full of potential. So far, not a single person has claimed a free spot on our restored vintage tours. Why? Because it’s waiting. For someone like you to make it real. We’re currently collecting donations to fund the very first free tour seat. That first ride that first spark can carry a student, a family, or someone in need across the Adriatic on a roaring piece of history. Your donation doesn’t just buy a moment. It creates a story. A story that someone out there will never forget. And it starts with you.
What We’ve Achieved Together So Far
Restoring a vintage speedboat like the Chris Craft Scorpion 230 LTD is no small task. It’s a battle against time, corrosion, and forgotten craftsmanship. But we’ve pushed through day by day, piece by piece with nothing but grit, love, and the belief that this boat deserves to live again. So far, with nearly €8,000 invested and over 570 hours of hands-on labor (by just two of us), here’s what we’ve managed to accomplish:
Meet the Reimagined Scorpion 230 LTD
When we first found the Chris Craft Scorpion 230 LTD, it was barely more than a forgotten hull abandoned near the edge of a forest, overtaken by vines, soaked in rain, and cracked by time. The once-legendary lines of this speedboat were buried under years of neglect. The engine had seized, the wiring was corroded beyond repair, the gas tank had sprung dangerous leaks, and the seating was nothing but faded foam. It was a ghost of its former self a relic on the verge of being lost forever. But we saw more. We saw potential. We saw a story worth saving. Today, after months of intense labor, nearly 70% of the restoration is complete. What once looked like scrap is now coming back to life with a bold new concept that honors the past while pushing toward a cinematic future. On the images below, you’ll see the before and after the decayed original versus the inspired vision, now brought to reality. This is not just a restoration. It’s a transformation. A forgotten legend now reborn for a new generation of sea lovers, adventurers, and those who crave a tour experience unlike anything else on the Adriatic.
How Businesses Can Join Quietly, Powerfully
This is not a one-time donation. This is your brand woven into every wave, every memory, every photo, every story that happens on board. Here’s how your company can benefit:We restore possibility. We preserve culture. We create experiences that awaken something in people—especially those who thought this kind of thing wasn’t for them. Some guests may have never left their city. Others may be traveling Croatia for the first time. But they all carry something home from the sea—courage, freedom, and stories worth telling. We also invite brands and businesses who resonate with this vision. Support can take many forms. By donating, you make that possible. This isn’t traditional marketing. It’s quiet alignment. Your name carried by something real, something that moves. If your brand nourishes adventure, freedom, craft, or connection — we’d love to walk with you.
