She offers travelers a chance to step aboard a piece of living history, moving beyond simple sailing to explore the relationship between the people of Dalmatia and the sea. Unlike many historic vessels relegated to museums, Besa continues to sail, preserving the intangible heritage of traditional sailing techniques and maritime storytelling.
