Over 27 years ago, Bernard Menken observed that labor-intensive work in Western European countries was becoming unaffordable, significantly impacting Dutch yacht building. His Sri Lankan business partner, Neil Fernando, was eager to build boats for the Western European market. This led to the swift creation of Menken Maritiem's business plan: instead of cutting costs or simplifying designs, they aimed to add value by embracing the labor-intensive construction of more beautiful, fuller, and richer boats. This approach elevates the pleasure of boating, which we call "sailing happiness".

At Menken Maritiem, we design boats that stand out - timeless, stylish, and built for pure enjoyment on the water. To ensure the highest quality at a competitive price, we partner with Neil Marine, a leading fibreglass boatbuilder. With over 50 years of expertise and a state-of-the-art production facility in Negombo, Sri Lanka, Neil Marine brings our designs to life with precision craftsmanship. Every boat is built to the highest international standards, ensuring durability, performance, and effortless grace.

Thanks to this collaboration, we can offer exceptional boats without compromise. Neil Marine's efficient production and skilled workforce allow us to focus on innovation and design, ensuring that every Menken Maritiem vessel is a reflection of our passion for boating. With a growing international fleet and a reputation for excellence, we continue to set new standards - so you can enjoy carefree sailing, wherever your journey takes you.
