Sheet 02 · Full service

One partner, the whole passage

Buying a boat abroad normally means paperwork, freight and risk. We take all three off your hands, from the drawing board to the day it is registered in your name.

Custom production

Every boat is built to order to your configuration, hull material, tube fabric, colours, flooring, seats and equipment. Send us your own design and we check feasibility.

Sea freight & logistics

Wooden-crate packing, container loading, export formalities and live tracking of the crossing, organised and paid within your price.

Import & customs

We manage the import with our customs partners at the destination port. Import VAT is paid once, directly to your customs authority, no double taxation.

Registration included

Immatriculation of your boat is part of the package. We prepare the CE documentation and handle the formalities so you are ready to launch.

Quality inspection

Our own supervisor inspects every order at the factory before export, materials, seams, hull, systems, and documents it with photos you receive.

After-sales support

Advice, technical support and easy ordering of replacement parts long after handover. One contact, quick answers, by phone, e-mail or WhatsApp.

Delivery chart

Where we deliver

Every European country with maritime access. Hover a highlighted country for its import VAT rate and the estimated sea-freight time to your coast.

We import frequently to these markets and know each country's customs and registration process, so your delivery runs on familiar ground.

On request, contact us

Import VAT is charged once, by the customs authority of your country at the border, never on our invoice. Sea-freight times are indicative from the shipyard to your destination port; your quotation states the committed schedule.

Our mission: a good boat, within reach

We believe a reliable, well-built boat should not be a luxury reserved for a few. Our aim is to make high-quality boats as affordable and accessible as possible, for a family's first RIB or a professional fleet, without ever cutting the things that matter on the water.

How we cut cost, not quality

  • Direct from the shipyard, not through a badge, no brand licensing markup
  • No retail showrooms in any country, that overhead never reaches your price
  • Shared, proven production lines that also build for well-known brands
  • Same materials: Orca® Hypalon™, AlMg5 aluminium, Mercury power, Garmin electronics
  • Our own supervisor inspects every boat before export
