"Rented the Remija for the day — discovered great little secluded beaches along the pretty coastline with crystal clear waters. Highly recommended."

Dražen and the family.
I'm Dražen Čikor. I grew up around this water — Rabac harbour, the Kvarner crossing to Cres, the konobas everyone has been to a hundred times. My mother started Fru Fru Boats here in 1992, when Rabac was still finding its identity as a destination. She put the first boats in the harbour. I learned the trade from her — the throttle work, the morning weather call, the small-talk with the regulars — and I've been running the day-to-day ever since. It started small and we've kept it small. Six boats, four licensed and two without — enough variety that any group on any holiday gets the right day on the water; small enough that I answer the phone when you call.

Some guests describe the handover as "the settlement was totally uncomplicated" — a phrase I'm proud of. That uncomplicated handover is, in practice, three things: a 20-minute briefing on throttle, anchor and where to call from; a tank that's already full at fuel-pump prices, no markup; and a one-line plan I send the night before with the weather and the berth. Nema problema is not a slogan, it's the operating instruction.
I write in German fluently — about sixty per cent of our guests are German-speaking, and review verbatims like "He speaks also german" turn up often enough that it earns its line on this page.
The site sells a day, not a boat. The boat is how we get you to it.
What we believe.
- Specs are a sidebar. Sensory comes first. You don't book a Cap Camarat — you book the day a Cap Camarat lets you have.
- The cruise is the trip. The cove is the destination, but the run there is half the experience. We plan for the gold-hour cruise home before we plan the lunch.
- Honest range, not promises. No-licence boats can't reasonably do Cres. We say so. The right boat for your day matters more than upselling.
- The dolphins are neighbours. We follow Cres-Lošinj responsible-observation rules every time. No chasing, no swimming with them, 100 m minimum, 30 min max. They're still here because everyone treats them like neighbours.
- No prices on the site. Every day is different — boat, dates, duration, skipper, fuel, group. A flat list would mislead more than inform. Inquire, we reply inside one working day.

Our TripAdvisor entry — including the "Meets Animal Welfare Guidelines" badge for the dolphin trip — is at TripAdvisor: FruFru Boats Rabac.
Social channels (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) are contact options in the footer — we don't surface them as ratings. Stale social feeds weaken trust more than they strengthen it; we'd rather keep them simple.

What guests actually say.
Real Google + TripAdvisor reviews — names, dates, sources — are surfaced on the home page. What they consistently note: friendly operation, well-maintained boats, owner attention, value for money, the recommendation-engine factor (guests come back). The dolphin trip review pool specifically references the conservation protocol — the responsible-observation rules are how we operate, not a marketing line.

About working with us.
Who answers my inquiry?
Dražen reads every inquiry and replies personally — that's the operating principle. Inside one working day.
Do you have a team?
I run the day-to-day. For skippered trips I work with a small group of local skippers I trust on the Cres anchorages and the dolphin protocol. That's the "team" — handpicked, not a roster.
Have you been doing this long?
Since 1992 — my mother started Fru Fru Boats in Rabac harbour and I've continued the family operation. Over three decades on Rabac water. The online reviews go back to 2018; the boats and the operation go back much further.
Why "Fru Fru"?
A nickname, a small joke, a name that doesn't take itself too seriously. The boats and the days do the serious work.
