Sales of Polish yachts are increasing, with the industry the European leader and second in the world in smaller boat production.
That’s according to a report from the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) and the Polish Chamber of the Marine Industry and Water Sports – Polish Yachts (POLBOAT).
The scale of production puts Poland top in Europe and second in the world in the category of motor yachts with a hull length of up to 12 meters.
The country’s marine industry consists of around 1,000 companies, over 50 thousand jobs and a production potential estimated at 25,000 new yachts and boats a year.
“The Polish yacht industry has been developing for years and is doing very well, constantly increasing its potential and expanding the scope of its activities,” said Michał Bąk, Chairman the of the Polish Chamber of Marine Industry and Water Sports – Polish Yachts.

“Currently, the maritime industry is considered to be one of the most important, most innovative and most dynamically developing branches of the Polish economy.”
The report points out that the Polish yacht industry has been continuously strengthening its position on global markets for years, with Polish yachts and boats appreciated by water sports enthusiasts across the world.
This is evidenced by the level of export – as much as 95% of Polish production goes to foreign customers.
“The global success of the Polish yacht industry is due to the marriage of experience and innovation,” states the report.
Products are also targeted at the domestic market with estimations putting the number of vessels that sail on the Masurian lakes every day in the summer at around 15,000.
Despite good sales results, manufacturers from the country are constantly improving their projects and increasing their portfolio and planning expansion to new markets, adds the report.
This is proven by the numerous awards they have won at international fairs.
The Polish yacht, boat and specialist ship industry is not limited to building high-quality vessels.
Polish manufacturers also specialise in the production of deck equipment and accessories.
