Reposado: a masterpiece of Croatian shipbuilding

From the small but ambitious Croatian company Tramontana Yachts, the Reposado superyacht has emerged – a sophisticated sailing vessel that embodies a combination of vision, precision engineering and cutting-edge design. More than just a yacht, Reposado is a powerful statement about what domestic shipbuilding can do when passion, knowledge and dedication unite in a common goal, and in early June she shone on the world stage by winning the prestigious The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2025 for best design in the Sailing Yacht category.

Reposado is the third boat from Tramontana’s workshop, conceived as an evolution of the previous Scorpios project, but already during the construction of that predecessor, the idea of ​​​​how to raise the new boat to an even higher level was born. Every detail on Reposado – from the hull line to the interior – bears the author’s stamp and a carefully considered design approach, with the aim of creating a yacht that will not be forgotten.

“The design of the boat is my personal expression,” says Antonio Ivanišević, founder of Tramontana Yachts. “Reposado is not just a product, it is a decade of experience, experimentation and constant improvement.” His goal was to design a boat that captures attention, evokes emotion and clearly stands out among the best – which he completely succeeded in.

The name Reposado was chosen for a reason – it signifies maturity, balance and a deep understanding of the sea and sailing. The boat is impressive in every way, yet unpretentious. While the technology and performance delight even the most demanding owners and guests, the real trump card of Reposado is its character – a unique combination of Croatian craftsmanship, authentic design and maritime soul.

Tramontana Yachts is headquartered in Krilo Jesenice, a small Dalmatian port with a long shipbuilding tradition. It is there, in workshops by the sea, that a team of experts, engineers, designers and skilled craftsmen share the same philosophy: a boat is not built only with hands, but also with the heart.

However, Reposado is not the end of the story – it is just an introduction to what Tramontana Yachts is preparing for the future. “This is just the beginning. Our goal is not to produce boats in series, but to create stories. Each of our boats must be unique – recognizable from afar, but also full of life from the inside.”

In a world dominated by big names and industrial production, Tramontana stands as a symbol of courage, authenticity and uncompromising quality. And Reposado – as its proud ambassador – remains a testament to what Croatian hands and minds can create when given the freedom to dream.
