Discover the Sava
A day on the Sava can mean looking at continental Croatia from a different angle. ZTD Boats is interested in that quieter perspective, without making assumptions about future routes or access points.
SAVA RIVER
The Sava is one of the rivers behind the ZTD Boats idea. We are exploring a careful, self-drive river boat rental concept for Croatia; no routes, bases or departures have been announced.

02
The concept is for modern river boats that may support time outdoors, fishing or a relaxed day with family and friends. What will be offered at launch is still to be confirmed.
03
The future service is being considered for people who enjoy river time at their own pace. Final operator requirements, navigation areas and safety rules will be published only when verified.
04
In Croatia the Sava flows for about 560 km, past Zagreb and on through Sisak, Slavonski Brod and Županja. Downstream of Jasenovac it forms the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, so the opposite bank belongs to another country.
05
Between Sisak and Jasenovac the Sava passes Lonjsko polje Nature Park, one of Europe's large floodplain wetlands and a Ramsar site, known for seasonal floods, oak forests and storks nesting in its villages.
06
From Sisak downstream the Sava is a classified waterway, but conditions change. Meanders, low summer water levels and limited markings make some stretches demanding. Any future rental area would be chosen only after these conditions have been checked.
07
In Slavonski Brod, right on the Sava, stands Brod Fortress, a large Military Frontier fortress built between 1715 and 1780. Nearby, along the riverside promenade, the 18th-century Franciscan monastery has one of the finest Baroque cloisters in Slavonia. Upstream, in Slavonski Kobaš on the left bank, the parish church of St John the Baptist dates from 1780 and is a protected cultural monument.
08
ZTD Boats is in pre-launch development. Fleet, locations and booking dates are not available yet. Conditions change; the skipper remains responsible for safe operation of the vessel.
