It stands out for its expertise, innovative approach and attention to detail, managing to offer perfectly built boats at the right price, without having to go through the immediate cash discounts!

Milestones in the history of Karnic

The Karnic adventure began in the early 1990s, when the company was founded with the ambition of designing and producing high-quality boats. From the outset, the shipyard focused on technological innovation and precision manufacturing, two elements that were to become its signature.

In the 2000s, Karnic experienced rapid growth with the launch of several models appreciated for their robustness, marine performance and well-thought-out ergonomics. The company invested in advanced production technologies, particularly in moulding and assembly, to guarantee impeccable quality and reliability.

Over the years, Karnic has expanded its range and adopted a modular approach, allowing customers to customise their boats according to their needs and preferences. This flexibility has become a major asset in the face of competition, attracting a varied clientele ranging from recreational boaters to sport fishing enthusiasts.

Today, Karnic is present in many international markets, consolidating its reputation thanks to modern designs, optimised performance and constant attention to detail.
