While the majority of the company's boats are sold within Poland, around 20% are exported to countries like Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Spain. Antila Yachts has also ventured into emerging markets such as the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Morocco, Japan, and Israel.
To cater to different customer needs, the company has been focusing on promoting its Antila 26.2 model, designed to offer a comfortable sailing experience. This boat is particularly suitable for families, chartering companies, and anyone looking for a blend of performance and comfort, accommodating six to eight individuals comfortably.
In addition to the Antila 26.2, the company's product lineup includes the Antila 28.2 introduced in 2023, along with the Antila 24.4, Antila 30.1, and Antila 33.3 models. Antila Yachts, headquartered in Radom, Poland, has been actively showcasing its yachts at various industry events, including the prestigious boot Düsseldorf.
Poland's yacht industry heavily relies on foreign sales, with estimates suggesting that about 90%-95% of the annual production is exported. While the sector primarily focuses on motorboats, sailing yacht builders like Antila Yachts are also strengthening their portfolios. Despite facing challenges in 2023, the sector witnessed a decline in sales, particularly in sailing yachts compared to motorboats.
Michał Bąk, the president of industry association Polboat, reported a decrease in the overall production of boats in 2023, with sailing yachts experiencing a sharper decline than motorboats. The industry's main export markets include European countries like Germany, France, and the Netherlands, as well as non-European markets such as the US, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Antila Yachts, founded by local entrepreneur Cezary Duchnik, continues to strengthen its position in the market under his leadership as the owner and chief executive of the company.
