The giant speedboat in Adriana’s fleet, Miro Rudar, has quite a turbulent history. Constructed in the early ’90s, it was one of the boats locally known around Dubrovnik as „smuggler cigars“. Speedboats of such kind were of very long and sleek designs resembling a cigar, and smugglers used them to smuggle cigarettes across the Adriatic Sea. In the turbulent years of wars of independence, control and regulations by officials were easily avoided.
