What is “W-Yachts” and how did they come to own York Road Marine?

It all began with a man by the name of Jozef Winszniewski. He started a small boat manufacturing facility, The Ślepsk company, in Poland in 1989 which has since become one of the largest producers of boats in Europe. They produce 90 different models for several big-name brands equaling out to approximately 3000 vessels produced each year. Jozef has grown the company over the years by always staying focused on quality, and now the Slepsk company employs 1,300 people in Poland just to keep up with the demand! After producing boats as a subcontractor for so long Jozef made the decision with his family to produce their own craft, the W43, creating the “Wiszniewski Yachts” brand in the process. While working on the development of the W-43 Yacht they were also thinking about the target market for their new flagship, enter York Road Marine. Jozef, being a long-time visitor of Southwest Florida saw that this area was a perfect fit for the Yacht he was to produce and picked York Road Marine for a home base as it has a central location to all of SWFL, direct access to the Gulf of Mexico and the equipment, staff and expertise to handle all the related activities. Jozef purchased York Road Marine in 2022 and 2-months later hurricane Ian almost leveled the marina. Jozef never lost his vision or drive and rebuilt “W-Yacht York Road Marine” better than ever!! We have successfully introduced Yamarin Boats to the US market and will be bringing the W-43 in for the 2024-2025 boat show seasons!!! Jozef and all of us here at W-Yachts York Road Marine look forward to bringing you quality boats and service for years to come.
