The company “Laky Verf” is located in a historical place where the Russian fleet appeared and was created by Peter I. The yard is situated in Shlisselburg (Leningrad region). It is 30 minutes of driving from St.Petersburg, on the south side of Ladoga, one of the biggest lakes in Europe. That's why the company has the corresponding name "laky". The river Neva connects Ladoga with the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea. The fairway depth (about 5 m) allows almost all types of vessels to pass it. The neighborhood of the Leningrad region with Estonia and Finland is also an advantage of the geographical location of the yard. At present time Laky Verf is specialized in construction of the motor yachts up to 37 m length. The production process is fulfilled "turnkey" starting from the purchase of all necessary materials and equipment and till the launching of the completed yachts.
