Customer Support
Based on your information regarding the length of your boat, we will promptly forward to you our quote…
In 1960, Kiriakos Vagenas and Dimitris (Mitsos) Katopodis, shipwrights by profession, decided to start their own venture.
The site they chose was ideally suited, tucked away in the NW corner of Vliho bay on the island of Lefkas – Greece.
From ancient times the bay has been known as an ideal harbor.
The famous German archeologist Dorpfeld believed that it harbored the ships of Odysseus! And indeed even during heavy storms, the bay is perfectly safe. The holding is ideal and there is no swell. There could be no better location for a shipyard.
When the Ionian Islands were “discovered” in the 70s and frequented by many yachts, Kiriakos and Mitsos decided to adapt the yard’s hauling system to enable modern yachts to hauled out.
Since then the Yard has expanded.
Every year some 300 yachts … hibernate, well protected against the sometimes-severe winter storms.
