The company currently employs 65 full-time workers. Apart from the shipbuilders specialised for wooden ships, the shipyard's policy is to engage only fully trained and highly skilled locksmiths, welders, blacksmiths, fitters, electricians, painters and other craftsmen.
The building of wooden ships is a traditional activity on the island of Murter and most of the shipbuilding is concentrated in Betina where the shipyard is situated. Shipbuilding has a tradition of almost 250 years, through various forms of organised manufacture. Shipbuilding in Betina is characterised by excellent workmanship, robust boat construction and the choice of material (Slavonian oak). Nevertheless, other types of wood, such as pine, teak, mahogany, etc., are used based on customer requests.

In addition to the specialised workshops, the shipyard also has several hangar units of various sizes and purposes (800, 300 and 200 m2 ) while the total usable area of the shipyard covers almost 25,000m2. All working areas are asphalted and equipped with electricity and water supply.

BETINSKA GAJETA, a half-decked one-masted fishing boat traditionally built in Betina, is primarily intended for family sailing and can accommodate eight persons. The boat is constructed and manufactured with the best possible quality according to traditional shipbuilding "plank-on-frame" technique. All hull elements as well as all shell plating are made of oak. After the completion of the boat the outer surfaces are partly charred by burners. The surfaces that must be painted are first protected by a primer and those that must be varnished are impregnated with teak oil. The exterior of the boat receives classic treatment; it is painted with a primer, an oil paint and, finally, it is given two coats of varnish whilst the underwater surface line must be protected with by an antifouling coating. The boat's mast is 7 meters high with a lanteen yard of ca. 8m and 25m2 sail which enables the speed of 6.5 knots in a calm sea and with a clean hull. The boat is also equipped with two sculling oars.

A stable inboard engine (10 KW to 30 KW) can also be used. Power is transmitted through a marine gear and the propeller axis (25 mm stainless steel and solid bronze boat propeller). The propeller axis is fixed in the stainless steel stern tube fitted with rubber bearings. The propeller diameter and the wings elevation are defined according to the boat design and the engine characteristics which will enable maximum speed. The engine is mounted on a base which is a basic part of the hull construction, and on elastic bearings.

The excellent design and superb workmanship ensure the stability of the boat in all sailing conditions and it can be steered manually by the wooden helm directly manoeuvring the wooden tiller. The boat is also made in a cabin version which includes 3 berths, a small kitchen with a stove and refrigerator.
