10 Jahre Rafting Pirate: Von Neuseeland zum Cetina Fluss

Dieses Jahr 2026 feiern wir etwas Besonderes – zehn Jahre voller Erlebnisse, Leidenschaft und Geschichten auf dem Fluss.
10 Jahre Rafting Pirate.

Was einmal als einfache Idee begann – ein Traum aus der Liebe zum Wasser – ist mit der Zeit zu etwas Größerem geworden, als wir erwartet hätten. Eine Geschichte, geprägt vom Fluss, von der Natur und von vielen gemeinsamen Momenten mit unseren Gästen.

Rückblickend war es nie nur eine Reise.
Es war immer ein Abenteuer.

Wo alles begann

Jede Geschichte hat ihren Anfang.

Unsere begann weit weg von Kroatien, in Neuseeland – einem Ort mit beeindruckender Natur und viel Freiheit. Umgeben von Bergen und Flüssen entstand dort die Grundlage für alles, was später kam.

In einem kleinen Hostel haben sich unsere Wege gekreuzt.
Aus einer zufälligen Begegnung zwischen zwei Reisenden entwickelte sich mit der Zeit mehr – eine Verbindung, eine Partnerschaft und schließlich eine gemeinsame Geschichte.

Doch ein Teil dieser Geschichte hatte schon früher begonnen.

Neno arbeitete bereits seit Jahren als Guide auf der Cetina. Er kannte den Fluss, jede Stromschnelle und die Schlucht sehr gut. Der Fluss war ein wichtiger Teil seines Lebens. Mit der Zeit entstand die Idee, etwas Eigenes aufzubauen.

Das Treffen in Neuseeland hat vieles verändert.
Aus seiner Idee wurde ein gemeinsamer Plan.


Den Traum Wirklichkeit werden lassen

Manche Träume warten. Andere möchte man einfach umsetzen.

Für uns führte der Weg zurück nach Kroatien – an die Cetina bei Omiš. Eine Landschaft, die durch ihre Natur besonders ist: klares Wasser, abwechslungsreiche Stromschnellen, kleine Wasserfälle im Canyon und beeindruckende Ausblicke.

Der richtige Ort, um aus einer Idee Realität zu machen.

Der Firmenaufbau war aber nicht immer einfach. Es gab viele lange Arbeitstage, Unsicherheiten und Herausforderungen im Hintergrund. Schritt für Schritt haben wir gelernt, uns angepasst und weiterentwickelt – Ausrüstung vorbereitet, Touren organisiert und mit jeder Gruppe mehr Erfahrung gesammelt.

Mit der Zeit, viel Einsatz und einer gemeinsamen Vision ist Rafting Pirate entstanden.


Mit dem Fluss gewachsen

Am Anfang war alles überschaubar.

Ein paar Boote,
ein kleines Team
und viel Leidenschaft.

Entscheidend war nie, wie groß wir sind –
sondern wie ernst wir unsere Verantwortung nehmen.

Sicherheit, auf die man sich verlassen kann.
Erlebnisse, die im Kopf bleiben.
Momente, an die man sich gern erinnert.

Mit der Zeit hat sich das herumgesprochen.
Gäste kamen wieder, haben uns weiterempfohlen, und viele Familien kehren jedes Jahr zurück.

So ist Rafting Pirate Schritt für Schritt gewachsen –
ganz natürlich, wie der Fluss selbst.


Tausende Momente, ein Fluss

Über die Jahre hat die Cetina mehr getragen als nur Boote —
sie hat Lachen, Adrenalin und unvergessliche Erlebnisse mit sich genommen.

Jede Tour erzählt ihre eigene Geschichte.

Die Dynamik der Stromschnellen.
Das Lachen, das durch den Canyon klingt.
Der Mut zu springen, zu schwimmen, Neues auszuprobieren.
Die stillen, versteckten Orte entlang des Flusses.

Aus Fremden wird ein Team.
Aus Augenblicken werden Erinnerungen.

Und am Ende jeder Tour bleibt immer dieses eine Gefühl —
pure Freude.


10 Jahre später

Zehn Jahre später stehen wir hier – stolz und dankbar.

Was als Nenos Traum begann — und als Liebesgeschichte, die in einem Hostel am anderen Ende der Welt ihren Anfang nahm — ist zu etwas ganz Besonderem geworden.

Rafting Pirate ist nicht einfach nur ein Unternehmen.
Es ist eine Geschichte über Leidenschaft, Mut, Liebe — und den Fluss, der alles verbunden hat.

Und das Schönste daran?

Die Geschichte geht weiter.

 


An alle, die Teil dieser Reise waren —
die uns vertraut, uns unterstützt und diese Momente mit uns geteilt haben —

Danke, dass ihr Teil der Rafting Pirate Geschichte seid. 💫

What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, our site does not use "do not track" signals.
