Pegasus Yachts shipyard and the crew

Pegasus Yachts team has years of engineering, production, business industrial design, naval architecture, product & project management, and sailing and has completed more than 160 projects for prominent world-series builders. Ten of those projects have won European Yacht of the Year Awards and more than 50 other national Boat of the Year Awards.

More than 10,000 yachts have been produced due to these projects, including Shipman Carbon Yachts, the world’s first series of carbon construction performance cruisers. We gained priceless experience directly from Shipman owners from circumnavigations and cruising in the most remote worldwide places.

We work closely with leading naval architects and hydrodynamic specialists from current America’s Cup and ocean racing, exterior and interior designers and stylists, structural specialists and the best industry suppliers.

The Pegasus 50 concept, design and engineering represent the result of experience gained in previous projects.

It was a great year having the pleasure of seeing our beautiful boat being built by all these very much skilled and motivated people!

The continuous exchange with you both was always so helpful to create and/or modify new ideas!

Overall, it was great fun to work with you towards a more than satisfying result!

Thank you so much for the great experience of what people can achieve if they are open to levering individual expertise and to engage in a shared goal!

Constantly interested in how to improve sailing and live aboard experience and make boat ownership less stress and more fun.

Working in close collaboration with top-end naval architects and hydrodynamic specialists from America’s cup and ocean racing, exterior and interior designers and stylists, structural specialists as well as majority important industry suppliers. “Efficiently developed and built with builder and client focus is my field of interest and concentration. Constant innovation in materials and design solutions is inevitable part of success.” Involved in creating working boats, like patrol and pilot vessels, experienced all aspects of marine harshest environment that brings awareness of safety and absolute need for reliability back to conceptual and design phase. Pegasus 50 concept, design and engineering work is a merger of experiences gained in previous projects, optimized for shorthanded, blue water sailing with accent on safety, simplicity of use, comfort on board and optimized cost of ownership.

Constantly interested in how to improve sailing and live aboard experience and make boat ownership less stress and more fun.

After graduating from mechanical engineering and completing my bachelor's in computer and information science, I finished my education at IEDC Business School, where I got my MBA.

My career started in the online stock exchange trading development team. Later on, I was responsible for the technical and business development of one of the best legal information systems. And then I co-founded and managed FrodX d.o.o. – where we worked for the biggest worldwide companies, such as Canon, SAP, Microsoft, Velux, Generali, Fraport, and many regional banks and insurance companies.

During my student years, I built a racing boat and won dozens of regattas with my crew. While doing a few tens of thousand nautical miles on various sailboats, seas, and oceans, I've gained a lot of valuable nautical and life lessons and experience. I've used my sailing knowledge, skills, and experience to teach more than 500 people to sail and recently combined with my business background to develop and build a modern blue water cruiser, Pegasus 50.

Sailing is an important part of my life. During my student years, I built a racing boat with which my team and I won dozens of regattas. While doing more than several thousand nautical miles on various sailboats, I've gained a lot of valuable nautical and life lessons and experience. I've used my sailing knowledge, skills, and experience to teach more than 500 people how to sail. From 2018 I'm using them as a partner of Pegasus Yachts to build a modern blue water cruiser, Pegasus 50.

I have been sailing for 50 years, during which time I have owned 4 yachts. The first of these, I built myself and the others I commissioned, and they were built to my specific requirements. These proved to be successful and close to what I needed, but Pegasus is the first to fulfil all my needs and expectations.

Pegasus enables me to cross oceans single-handed or with a crew of friends and always feel safe, comfortable and exhilarated.

Pegasus 50 most significant difference is the concept – a bluewater sailing yacht with a well-protected covered cockpit, 360-degree vision in the saloon and gimballed saloon sofa, and double insulation for the engine, which is sited away from the living and sleeping areas of the yacht. She also provides safe movement for her crew with only a few steps and good access to well-proven equipment that is easily maintained.
