To recap, the "Lacroma" boat is the first hybrid boat built in a Croatian shipyard for commercial passenger sailing in the Adriatic Sea, and its construction was co-financed by EU funds. It was built at the Dalmont shipyard in Kraljevica as part of the project "Historic Gardens of the Dubrovnik Area," co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The boat operates on the Gruž-Trsteno-Lokrum-Gruž route.
