About Us

DURETTI was founded by Dan Daman, a Belgian national, and DURETTI yachts have been initially produced by another shipyard according to the design and supervision of Dan Daman. After the success of the brand in its first years, the decision to establish an own shipyard was an easy step to take. Taking over the management of the previous shipyard as well as the majority of the staff enabled DURETTI to a transition-free production in its new premises.
