Get to know us
Trefjar was established in 1978 and the ownership have been in the same family from start, soon after the establishment of the company we started to make fish farming tubs, that became our main business for many years, the company grew with increased demand from local fish farming companies, between 1980 and 1990 this was our main business and we built thousands of tanks.
The demand for fish farming tanks decreased rapidly after some years and we started building boats, first our small range named Skel and later our well-known Cleopatra boats, since 1990 that have been our main business, we have built approximately 500 boats in various sized and most of them are custom built according to customer wishes.
