Founded in Rijeka, a city rich in maritime tradition, our journey began in 1992 as a family-owned boat building workshop. Initially focused on designing and building boats for both recreational and professional use, our vision was to craft high-quality vessels that perform exceptionally, drawing on the extensive experience of our founder, a former Olympic class sailor and professional fisherman.
Over the years, this passion and dedication have been passed down to the second generation of naval architects at FLYMAR, who now carry forward 30+ years of experience and craftsmanship. Since then professional focus has expanded and today we offer a broad range of services, including yacht design, marine engineering and consulting.
