Evolving from a small-scale operation into a multi-service organisation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MennYacht Group (Company)">MennYacht Group</a> has come a long way since its creation in 1994. Still presided over by the original founder Matjaž Murko today, the company now represents several brands of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> and operates across various Central and Eastern European countries, with a strong presence along the Adriatic coast.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328602/image/large-f0b53309825f90cea989c7c504d55069.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328602">What led to your entry into the yachting industry?I was born in Germany and moved to Slovenia in 1972 when I was ten years old. Shortly thereafter, I joined a well-known sailing club in Slovenia named Pirate. From a young age, I exhibited an entrepreneurial spirit; my first venture was founding a windsurfing school with a friend, catering to tourists on the beach. It's important to note the geographic significance of Slovenia, which is bordered by Italy to the west and Croatia to the south and east. Slovenia attracts many visitors from the Czech Republic and other Eastern European countries. Additionally, our linguistic similarities foster a welcoming environment for these tourists.This early experience further fueled my interest in the nautical industry, which prompted me to explore additional opportunities. My breakthrough came at the Genoa Boat Show in 1994, where I discovered the Pershing brand. Just a few months later, I signed a contract with the shipyard and acquired two yachts, a 60-footer and a 70-footer and began actively promoting Pershing in the Adriatic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328599/image/large-fe3e86a9dd94651ebd8b14f1582ea966.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328599">Could you elaborate on your close ties with various Ferretti Group brands and how it came to be that you represented them?In 1998, following <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a. (Company)">Pershing</a>'s acquisition by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a>, Pershing recommended us as a dealer for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> brands in Austria, Slovenia, and other parts of Europe. We promptly signed the contract and officially started our dealership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti</a> in 2000. As the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> expanded and integrated brands such as Riva, we also began representing them in our markets.Currently, we represent all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> brands, except for CRN and Wally, across several regions. Our markets include Austria, Germany (specifically clients in the Adriatic region for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/361" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Yachts (Company)">Ferretti Yachts</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a. (Company)">Pershing</a>, and Itama), the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Albania. Over the past twenty years, these countries have seen economic development, though they still face certain challenges. Despite our wide geographic reach, we encounter specific local preferences. In Hungary for example, there is a strong preference for conducting business in Hungarian. As a result we maintain an office in Budapest to accommodate this need, despite its landlocked location. We also have an office in Prague, Czech Republic, and one in Belgrade, Serbia. These different locations allow us to offer bespoke services, adapted to the local business culture.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328598/image/large-821263695bb15703bea192a6f86d08b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328598">What strategies did MennYacht employ to successfully expand into Eastern European marketsFrom the outset, establishing comprehensive services was crucial, encompassing not only yacht sales but also dedicated maintenance and support. When operations began, back in 1994, sourcing essential components such as generator impellers posed significant challenges. Damage to an impeller could disable the entire generator, disrupting critical onboard functions, including cooking, yet obtaining these components was complicated by supply distribution issues. Indeed, Slovenia and Croatia were not part of the European Union at that time, leading to intricate customs and logistics scenarios.To address these challenges, we significantly expanded our service network, which now covers all major marinas and key cruising locations along the Adriatic coast. Thanks to our local network and expertise, we are known for our rapid response times, a fact acknowledged by our clients and competitors alike.Our team comprises highly experienced professionals, some of whom have been with us for 15-20 years. With the increasing complexity of yachts due to advanced technology and design features, it is imperative to stay at the forefront of service excellence. In collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti</a>, we have played a crucial role in providing ongoing educational programs for our workers, ensuring they are well-prepared to meet contemporary challenges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328604/image/large-97e4aaf81a00cf9ce7c98bb81c584023.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328604"> How do events contribute to the MennYacht brand and client engagement?Alongside our 30th anniversary celebrations, we hosted significant events such as the Gala Yacht Ball and Summer Breeze at Ravni Zakan. These occasions allow us to engage deeply with our clientele in a setting that highlights both our latest offerings and our rich legacy. Moreover, we hosted a similar event last year where we invited all our clients and provided entertainment with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5733" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Technohull (Company)">Technohull</a> luxury RIBs, for which we are also the official regional dealers.These events, along with our yearly magazine and our 30th anniversary book, significantly enhance client engagement. Crucially, they also provide us with deeper insights into our clients' perspectives, such as whether they are considering acquiring a new yacht because their current one is becoming outdated or too small. To be successful in today's market, it is not enough to be a dealer; a 360-degree approach is required.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328597/image/large-1a06b306801dedc5024d56cc19d873f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328597"> Any future plans you would like to unveil?In recent years, we've significantly advanced our marketing efforts, collaborating with media companies and promoting our 30th anniversary. Despite these successes, we recognise areas that require further improvement.Currently, like many in the industry, we face a shortage of skilled labour, particularly mechanics and electricians. The growth of our fleet has outpaced our staffing capabilities, highlighting the critical need to balance the number of yachts with employee recruitment to enhance our operations.Moreover, we have been improving our technological capabilities by investing in software programs that aim to more efficiently understand the yachts clients desire. This will better facilitate our sales strategies and improve our ability to track client inquiries and preferences. For instance, if a client expressed interest in a specific type of superyacht a year ago, these new systems will allow us to process that information more quickly and accurately. We have a dedicated team, much like a family, where each member, including my son, plays a crucial role. Together, we are committed to continuing our legacy for many more years to come.

Onboard: 60m Oceanco superyacht Alfa G completes major refit

At the 2015 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, an experienced superyacht owner came across a rendering of a design that was to be the radical new joint venture between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a>. He fell in love, and the custom 80-metre design was to become the sixth in the series of his fleet of superyachts by the name of Excellence.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108647/image/large-dbdf672e70023af5ad13a4b7ecf9d70d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108647"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108648/image/large-c883feca82f113b59aef3add3e50b8dc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108648">As a repeat client of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a>, the American owner worked directly with the shipyard and its experienced in-house engineering team to harvest the interior and exterior designs of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a> and create one of the most modern and contemporary designs around. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108409/image/large-2994b6a4b14cbf37d204cb0120616b71.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108409"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108408/image/large-c8de51d52e0975ba5121fe4618c5d226.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108408">Characterised by a sharp plumb bow, the unique superstructure of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6404" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Excellence80.0m (262'6&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2019">Excellence</a> is fitted with a wealth of glass to create striking multi-level windows. Undoubtedly her signature feature, the glass spectacularly reflects her surroundings wherever she roams - a view that is left undisrupted thanks to the impressive engineering of a 25-metre line of perfectly smooth glass. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108388/image/large-21a1537986a5ddd548275dfa768c9df0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108388"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108389/image/large-8a81f2223a4da648f0fb3467c3bac31c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108389"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108387/image/large-9dda3e09d9b6ec2b6407dcd4cb6a963f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108387">Six panes of five-metre-tall and 1.3-tonne glass panels form the external mirrored skin of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6404" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Excellence80.0m (262'6&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2019">Excellence</a>. Supported by industrial-looking long steel beams that are best seen in the double-height atrium, the panes are 8cm at their thickest point and aid the yacht’s insulation capabilities to alleviate the use of the air conditioning system. The mullion fins are made of silver thread, woven in a way that mimics carbon fibre. These fins draw the eye in, then out, adding depth and a feeling of curvature to the spaces. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108412/image/large-d48e4dc88ea8e25255d719e797708a99.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108412"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108413/image/large-fac5aa315f5c7ac81d7de9c405850d12.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108413"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108419/image/large-66650dec40646cbf573125637219e321.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108419">Stating that the interior was not designed with charter in mind, the owner has infiltrated the design with his various passions. The interior takes cues from Floridian East Coast Deco, as well as from the details found in the owner’s impressive automotive collection. The owner’s love for cars stemmed from his successful career in car dealerships and references are found throughout the interior; for example, the delicate fin detailing inspired by the fanciful cars of the streamlined age. In the sky lounge, the backs of the deep, cream sofas take their inspiration from those found in a Cadillac. The sides of the sofa are made of soft shagreen embossed leather, with metal grille detailing on either side. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108385/image/large-186d4d40b8648e8624e363a47f708b20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108385"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108383/image/large-4e3cb3d45fbd8913b592b486702dab71.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108383"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108384/image/large-5955481c24adae6e63e5e2714288dca6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108384">To mimic the emblems on the front of a car, the cabinets have specially-designed handles, whereas the black-and-white concentric circles on the saloon floor and ceiling recall the white-wall tires of a 50s classic. The furniture louvers in each of the seven staterooms are designed to look like the grille of a car hood, and the dayheads on the main deck are inspired by the Bugatti Royale and Ferrari Daytona Spyder. Aside from a few minor identical features in each, every stateroom has its own character and statement headboards. The owner’s love of texture and pattern is well presented in these areas and overall there are more than 30 different marbles on board, with the predominant type being immaculate golden onyx as showcased in the VIP bathroom. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108392/image/large-8d8fb460efebde8ff8075fe61e2f1c57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108392"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108396/image/large-8eea7505233a0b84abc59679fc65b2ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108396"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108399/image/large-8b40ad13e98fe62e5a69878585964dfe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108399"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108401/image/large-148fcdd7b5c8e03f888c9f115cc141f6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108401">Initially, the owner wanted a very colourful palette throughout, but then reverted back to a palette of coffee and cream tones with added accents of colour. Every public space showcases many marbles, precious woods and leathers, with the owner’s deck decorated with cream wool carpet underfoot in the master bedroom inspired by crocodile skin, Macassar ebony panelling and crocodile skin frosting on the doors to the large showers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108402/image/large-2975b418ac0613e329395f5bce765c36.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108402"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108404/image/large-d373a33bb76b7b7828090f97badb996d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108404"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108405/image/large-40f06c1486984ac723568eb357f76e2f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108405">The owner also has access to a dedicated library-cum-office space, and the choice of silver leather pressed with tobacco leaves adorns the walls alongside birdseye maple wood, cappuccino marble and tan leather tiles for flooring. In another level of textural detail, the length of the main deck corridor has been designed to mimic the grain of the bleached white sycamore and leads to the main deck spa, which is created from hemlock and teakwood stone from Paonazzo. From here, guests can enjoy the views out of the large windows in the sauna. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108407/image/large-ee1777a4fc8a35acf12249e72673d8a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108407"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108406/image/large-94c8ee3ce7c98694e95da999d01b3161.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108406"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108390/image/large-028f2d5d37218a386aac9e46223bbbac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108390">The 14 overnight guests onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6404" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Excellence80.0m (262'6&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2019">Excellence</a> can spend their time making use of the luxuries such as a large counter-current swimming pool on the main deck aft, jacuzzi on the owner’s deck aft and the nine-seat cinema. As well as the diving gear, Seabobs and RS200 sailing dinghy, the large water-level tender garage houses the yacht’s limousine tenders and is fitted out with an informal bar area. The 2,115 GT futuristic superyacht is powered by twin MTU 12V 4000 M65R diesel engines and can cruise at 14 knots or a maximum of 17 knots.&nbsp;
