The history of our business  started in 1957 in Volos city, Greece with Yiannis Reppos when at age 14 he worked as an trainee at a small boat yard that was constructed small wooden boats. Boat yard’s owner was Nikos Ktenas, a son of a refugee family from Smyrna, Minor Asia. Next to Nikos, Yiannis learned the boat construction art from 1959 to 1968 when the owner after a short illness died. Then he undertook the enterprise and in a short term he became well known throughout Greece for constructing beautiful wooden vessels.

 

In the next 20 years Yannis Reppos, constructed over 150 boats for fishing and recreation purposes. In 1989, after finished Technical University in shipbuilding, his son Nikos Reppos joins the enterprise and constructs a brand new larger boat yard on the coast of Pagasitikos. Then  Yannis’ experience matches with Nikos’ academic knowledge and the boat yard advances to the construction of larger and faster vessels for any usage.

 

Based on high quality construction, Reppos boat yard is now engaged in constructing of high demand  wooden vessels, wood or epoxy repairs, alterations and renovations of past years boats.
 

Our vessels are custom made constructions, thereby we achieve the greatest possible satisfaction of customer needs while complying all the requirements of shipbuilding. This method has as result that all vessels are made unique (even vessels of the same series) each having a separate feature

 

Our, almost half-century, experience and our persistence to excellence guarantees the best result as far it concers new vessels  or reconstruction and maintenance.
