Iskra Shipyard
Former Austro-Hungarian and then Yugoslav naval repair base in Šibenik, run since 2019 by Slovenia's Iskra group. A 900 t synchrolift and two 70 m sheds let it take yachts up to about 70 m ashore, and it also works on ferries, commercial and naval craft. Its reference list runs from 25 m motor yachts to the 75 m Phocea.
