The San Frangisk catamaran is one of the fastest vessels on the Adriatic Sea. It connects Istria with Venice at a cruising speed of up to 35 knots. The catamaran has an aircushion between the two hulls, which inflates and displaces water while sailing on the open sea. It is an ACC type (air cushion catamaran), which allows it to achieve significantly better speeds with the same engine power with greater comfort for passengers.
