Frauscher Shipyard was founded in 1927, located in Gmunden on the shores of the picturesque Traunsee in Austria. It was the brainchild of Engelbert Frauscher, a passionate water sports enthusiast, who was dedicated to the creation of top-quality electric and motor-powered boats. The business remains as a family-owned enterprise for over 90 years and has evolved from a small Austrian workshop to a world-renowned manufacturer of luxury yachts.
In the 1950s, Frauscher gained international recognition for its pure-bred race boats, acclaimed for their speed, quality, and outstanding workmanship. The company has always believed in combining technology with traditional craftsmanship, integrating innovative design and cutting-edge technology to master the art of boatbuilding. Its iconic models, such as the 1414 Demon, the 747 Mirage and the 740 Mirage Air, incorporate a unique design language, distinguishing Frauscher from other boat manufacturers.
Today, Frauscher continues to operate in Gmunden, Austria, where it has its production facility and marina. In addition to Austria, it has established successful distributors in more than ten countries worldwide. The company remains committed to innovation, design, and quality, preserving its founder's pioneering spirit, while constantly pushing the boundaries and setting new benchmarks in the world of boat manufacturing. These efforts have led Frauscher to win numerous awards, underscoring their dedication to delivering excellence in boating. The company's commitment to blending high-grade materials with beautiful, functional designs ensures that Frauscher remains a leader in the international boating industry.
