The term I find in my dictionary is catboat, but I´m not sure that is right. Refers to a boat shipwrecked off the Mediterranean coast in the 14th century.

(Mediterranean) skiff
Termcat gives the following explanation:
ca llagut, m
ca muleta, f sin. compl.
es chalupa
Bot de banc fix apte per a sis remers de punta i un timoner, amb el qual es disputen curses de rem, generalment, en mar oberta.
NT: Embarcació de rem de la Mediterrània, no reglamentada ni olímpica.
The Spanish chalupa is often translated as a "skiff", so maybe specifying that it was a "Mediterranean skiff" might do the trick.
But it depends on your context, was the boat a rowing boat?
Good luck!

: Yes, I've translated it a few times as a skiff, but I've also been asked to render it as "catboat" by the Museu Marítim de Barcelona (which should know what they're talking about!)
