Services
Design
During drafting we keep in mind the needs of our customers and strive to find the best solution to fulfil their expectation. Our prime element is innovation: we believe that creative thinking always leads to great things.
Implementation
Not only design but also construction is among our specialty. In our two workshops in Hungary the most modern materials and tools (CNC milling machine, vacuum-injected carbon-composite sandwich structures) are available to produce the boat we designed together.
Custom design boats
Several successful sailboats and one motorboat have already left the Flaar workshop and their results are proofs of the high quality we represent in water transport. Get to know our models.
After-sales service
We believe it is important that our customers are satisfied after they have bought a boat as well, which is why we offer a full service to all Flaar boat owners. Whether it’s end-of-season maintenance, repairing an unfortunate damage or implementing a custom idea, our customers can turn to us with trust. In our workshop, we carry out repairs and maintenance using factory techniques, and we guarantee the quality of our work.
