# Punat Shipyard — Continuity of Adriatic Boatbuilding

> The Punat shipyard (Brodogradilište Punat) is one of the longest continuously operating shipyards in the Adriatic, with documented activity since at least the 16th century and likely earlier roots. Located on Punat bay's protected south shore, the yard has built and serviced traditional wooden vessels (kaići, gajetas, leuti) for centuries and continues today as a modern industrial facility servicing the adjacent Marina Punat, building specialty wooden craft for heritage clients, and providing full hull and mechanical service for vessels up to mid-size yachts. The yard is both a working business and a heritage institution, central to Krk's maritime identity.
