In 2019, the company branched out into catamaran production, leading with the introduction of its flagship model, the Derubis 44 Fly – a 44ft yacht designed to accommodate 8+2 passengers, with four double-bed cabins and four spacious bathrooms. This model features three decks, a flybridge with eight seats, two sunbathing areas, and is notably the only yacht in its class equipped with a sixperson whirlpool on the main deck. “In the pursuit of perfection, Derubis Yachts maintains a steadfast commitment to exceptional craftmanship and customer satisfaction,” Lejla tells us. “We employ skilled professionals who are among the best in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ensuring that each yacht meets the highest standards of quality.” A pioneer of the luxury yacht industry, Derubis Yachts’ dedication to providing the highest quality products is rivalled only by its commitment to innovating within the industry.

In alignment with the global movement towards greener practices, the company is continually evaluating its operations to reduce its environmental footprint. At present, the company is actively exploring hybrid and electric propulsion systems for its catamarans, a move that will drastically reduce its impact whilst delivering the standard of luxury and performance clients expect.

The company is actively pursuing several strategic initiatives to enhance its market presence and production capabilities, including global market penetration, increasing its production capacity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and expanding into the Saudi Arabian market with the establishment of a manufacturing facility in King Abdullah Economic City. Moving forward, Derubis Yachts will begin manufacturing operations at its new facility, focusing on catamarans with hybrid and electric propulsion systems to meet the growing demand for sustainable maritime solutions. “Looking ahead to 2025,” says Lejla, “Derubis Yachts plans to continue innovating and refining yacht designs to cater to evolving customer preferences and expand our international network to facilitate broader distribution and support services, ensuring a seamless experience for clients worldwide.
