BRODOGRADILIŠTE I MARINA BETINA d.o.o. (Shipyard and Marina Betina, Ltd.) was founded in 1948 although shipbuilding had been a traditional occupation of the local people for centuries. The basic business activities of the shipyard are building and repair of wooden ships as well as the maintenance and servicing of steel and polyester boats. The shipyard is equipped with a travel-lift having a lifting capacity of up to 260 KN and can also receive only ships up to 35m length for repair and maintenance.

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 activities are 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.
