We will craft the perfect boat for you.
Let us tell you a story
It happened on the Sniardwy Lake (One of the biggest Mazurian lakes).
As the sun set beautifully into dusk, we paddled our canoe towards a solitary little wooden sailing yacht in the centre of the lake. We approached the captain who was sitting reading under his shelter and asked, ‘Excuse us sir, can you direct us to the nearest petrol station?’
The captain, his anchor-like face shadowed by his black hat, answered:
‘Carry on until the crossroads with the traffic lights then turn left.’
Site is still under construction, empty spaces will be filled up soon.
See you a float!
