What is special about your boat that separates the other boats?
Other boats are manufactured in fiberglass. However, ours is made of carbon kevlar.
Carbon Kevlar What is it?
Corbo Kevlar, fiberglass, according to a much more quality. Fiberglass boats are osmosis within 5-6 years andrequires over-coat. In addition, they dont have very high speed resistance. Carbon Kevlar is used in aircraft construction to this day. Even now no longer the big sailing boats aluminum coating systems are used instead of carbon kevlar. Carbon Kevlar a feature is not exposed and light. With a little expensive to have a material is absolutely necessary for high-performance boats.

Yachts in Turkey and abroad, you see how much interest?
Group FIPA Maiora yachts is quite well known abroad.These are boats that appeal to higher-level stages. Representation previously had difficulties in Turkey. Our Missions for our after-sales service, for we know this business as a professional manufacturer and we're also completely stand behind the manufacturers. We follow them all. Negotiating the yacht was ordered during the fair at 1-2. I think the sales will take place after the trade fair. 2 one could hope for is a good demand for yachts to maioara last year, including the Far East market, we sold 34 and 36 yachts. We have a demand in the Far East occurred. I believe that even more will develop. Carbon kevlar boats are a great feature to have.
Do you have any other function apart than producing and selling of yachts?
2002's, entered the market in ship and yacht equipment.But it gave more emphasis on manufacturing and the job we have taken a back seat. We dont enter large vessel sector.
Mustafa Bey, why not so many yacht on your stage in the fair?
Because it can enter the show's largest yacht is 22 meters for a much larger size of our yacht could. However, with the presentation catalogs, and audio cds are continuing their activities. But I think next year the small size of the Eurasia Boat Show 2012 Fair, we think our yacht sails to bring the 58-foot model of the EU.
You said you sell second-hand yacht. Do you make any changes to these boats?
If desired, this will remedy the deficiencies according to demand.people used our services continue to get sales.

What are your plans for future years as the Assos Yacht?

In addition, sales of 12-13 foot boat in Turkey have an open. There are very few manufacturing firms engaged in this issue.Prices of these companies is quite high.
