Riginos History
39 years of history and expertise is what makes Riginos Yachts a unique and value-driven company. Founded by Peter Riginos, the company was built on the principle of always putting our clients first.
Initially called Aquadynamics, the company started by importing water sport equipment and ski boats from the United States and continued its presence by importing several US brands of sport cruisers to the Greek market until the early 90’s.
The company acquires the exclusive dealerships of Glastron and Rinker and Cobalt boats from the USA.
Peter Riginos sells his company, Aquadynamics and creates a new company called Twinducks which focuses on new yacht sales and brokerage.
Twinducks becomes the exclusive distributor of Scandinavian boat builders Windy and Nimbus. Furthermore, it enters the brokerage market selling second-hand boats.
Twinducks becomes the exclusive distributor of Apreamare boats, built in Sorento Italy.

Peter’s son George joins the company which undergoes a rebranding and is named Riginos Yachts.

Our company decides to enter the luxury catamaran market and becomes a dealer of French builder Lagoon. At the same time, we start a company called White Sails which focuses on the management and charter of catamarans in Greece.
Following a few very successful years of selling NOVURANIA tenders, our company decides to increase its tender business and acquires the exclusive distributorship of HIGHFIELD Aluminum Boats and BRIG RIBS. In the lineup AB JET Tenders and COBRA RIBS are added and this activity turns into one of the largest tender centers in Europe.
