MARIS STELLA GAJETA Ship Model Kit – 48cm, 1:14 Scale

Maris Stella Gajeta 1:14 scale model kit – detailed Croatian fishing and cargo boat with solid walnut wood, laser-cut components, pre-sewn sails, and full rigging for experienced modelers.

Product Overview

The Maris Stella Gajeta is a historically inspired Croatian wooden boat, originally used for fishing and small cargo transport along the Adriatic coast. With a hull length up to 12 meters and width up to 4 meters, the Gajeta has been a fast, maneuverable boat since the 16th century.

Used extensively along Zadar, Šibenik, Split, and the eastern Adriatic coast—from Kotor to Venice—this iconic vessel features a rounded bow and stern, reflecting the designs of ancient Neretva and Omiš pirate ships and traditional Croatian sagenas. The Gajeta combines oars and a lateen sail for propulsion, with modern versions often equipped with a small motor.

This 1:14 scale model kit captures the elegance and historical detail of the Gajeta, offering a rewarding building experience for intermediate to experienced modelers.
