WHO WE ARE

Faros Navi is a family-owned local business dedicated to continuing, preserving and celebrating the rich maritime heritage of Stari Grad. Our pride and joy is “Helios,” a historic boat that embodies the town’s legacy. By restoring Helios, we keep alive a 66-year old and vital piece of cultural history, creating unforgettable experiences for visitors and locals.

OUR BOAT "HELIOS"

Originally part of the Helios Faros hotel fleet since the 1970s, Helios, along with the boats Tatiana and Tonci, provided scenic coastal trips and ferried guests. Over time, economic challenges led to restructuring, and Helios was the only boat to remain.

A.D. 2024

In 2024, a young local who had spent childhood summers aboard Helios, driven by nostalgia and community pride, purchased and renovated it with the help of family and friends. This restoration project was about more than a boat—it preserved a piece of local heritage and revived the spirit of maritime tradition. Built in 1958, this beauty will shine in all its beauty once more after renovation and restoration is done this year. 

LOCAL COMMUNITY

Thanks to the support of Stari Grad authorities and Helios Faros management, Helios now sails again, reconnecting the community with its roots and sharing the town’s maritime stories.
