The yacht building history of YYachts founder Michael Schmidt spans more than 40 years. In the 1970s, he managed the European production facilities of CYC Yachts, the world’s leading manufacturer of sailing boats. In the 1980s, he began building super-light racing boats with which he won the Admiral’s Cup and numerous other regattas. After the reunification of Germany, he went to the East and built a new shipyard from scratch. In 2016, he founded YYachts. Since the foundation, numerous jobs have been created – at the shipyard in Ladebow/Wieck on the Baltic Sea or in our office and service centre in Palma de Mallorca.
