We, the founders of Yachtcork, have been keen sailors for years and, after years of yacht chartering, fulfilled our dream of owning a 12-metre aluminium sailing yacht in 2019.

The yacht was launched in 2005 and is now in 3rd hand. The condition is excellent for the age, both technically and visually. Nevertheless, normal signs of wear and tear gradually appeared on the surface of the ship’s deck, which until now had none adverse effects, only visual and aesthetic ones.

However, this situation had led us to look very intensively at an alternative deck surface. The aim was not only to preserve it but, if possible, to make it even more functional, aesthetic, durable and also sustainable (e.g. compared to teak).

After many sleepless nights, the choice of our future deck covering was condensed to the natural material cork. Find out what the decisive reasons were for us here! After extensive research, we were so convinced by this material and the possibilities it offers that the thought of developing our own product never left our minds – and so our business idea was born. From the beginning it was important to us to support shipyards with our product both in development and in production and not to be in any competition.

In addition to this important aspect, you as the owner are our focus. We involve you in the creation and development process at any time in order to make your yacht unique.
In addition to our high technological standards, it is our concern to work cost-efficiently to offer you the most suitable solution.
