About Us
I am a Naval architect. I started my professional carrer working as a vessel manager in steel vessels shipyards, in Spain: Zamakona Yards and Metalships and Docks. I developed those jobs for something more than 5 years. Then, I decided to move on and create my own company, trying to fulfill what I have always desired since I was a little boy: to become a boat designer.


Problem we are solving
I am trying to create a shipyard of electric boats so I contribute to the boat industry (boat design and engineering, boat construction, materials innovation...) and to the application of green mobility solutions onboard boats, for zero-emissions navigation, which means, eco-friendly, carbon-free, clean and silent activities in marine/river protected environment.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
