MAVEK design shapes ideas into working machines — on the road and on the water. We design, certify, and build custom trailers and campers under full EU type approval, and we're now extending that same hands-on, engineering-first approach into boat restoration and marine services.


MAVEK design started with a simple shift — from working on transport systems to building transport vehicles themselves. Today we design and manufacture custom trailers and campers, produced and certified in-house under EU Type Approval, and we're extending that same approach into boat restoration and marine services.
CEO
MAVEK design is led by Mihail Veklenko, who spent two decades working in urban development and transport planning across multiple countries — including cycling infrastructure design and the strategic redevelopment of tram networks, some of it visible in the renovation sketches shown here. He's also spoken at TEDx on these topics.
After relocating to Croatia, that transport-systems background turned into something more hands-on: building the vehicles and, now, the boats themselves — a shift driven less by circumstance than by where his real interest always was, and one that deepened through hands-on contract work in composite boat construction and outfitting for Croatian maritime companies.

OUR PROJECTS
Olinda — a full restoration, start to finish
Our current project is the complete restoration of a classic Rivetto sailboat — structural rebuild, hull and deck work, systems, and finish, documented step by step from bare hull to relaunch. It's where we're applying everything we've learned building vehicles to the very different discipline of boats.
TAM 75 — fire truck to entertainment kitchen
A full conversion of a classic Yugoslav TAM 75, originally a fire truck, rebuilt into a mobile entertainment kitchen. The standout feature is a fold-out stage with two ovens built directly into it — turning food preparation itself into part of the show. A one-of-a-kind build that blends functional kitchen engineering with a genuine sense of spectacle.
The client request was to design the kitchen which will be easy to drive and easy to setup
proper vehicle for entertainment
Custom trailer design, built by us or by you
From an off-road cargo trailer that converts into a camper — built for a client running events in remote, open-air locations — to a compact mobile kitchen designed for easy towing and quick setup, we design to the same standard whether we build the trailer ourselves or hand over production-ready documentation for a client to build it on their own.
SERVICES
Welcome to our world of custom trailer and boat design, refit, and legalization services. At our core, we're not just building vehicles; we're crafting experiences that match your unique vision. Whether it's a personal adventure trailer, a boat restoration, or a business solution, we're here to transform your ideas into reality.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Our design process begins with conceptual design, a stage where creativity takes shape. We bring your trailer concept to life inside and out, creating comprehensive drawings that guide builders and ensure every inch of your trailer is purposefully designed. Transitioning from idea to execution, Technical Design becomes pivotal. These documents outline intricate trailer technicalities, guiding production to ensure a seamless transformation from design to reality. Every detail is meticulously planned, guaranteeing precision in your trailer's creation.
LEGALIZATION
As your project transitions from idea to design and onward to production, there's one crucial step left: paperwork. In the realm of vehicle design in the EU, we're your partners in navigating the complexities of legalization. We assist you in completing all necessary documents to ensure your custom trailer complies with legal regulations or we will do it for you.
MANUFACTURING
Embarking on a journey from idea to design and ultimately into production is a thrilling adventure. We have the capabilities to bring your vision to life using our manufacturing facilities. At our production site in Brdovac, a suburb of Zagreb, we specialize in crafting individual elements and complete custom trailers. Most of the production process is meticulously managed in-house, ensuring uncompromising quality and attention to detail. Should the need arise, we collaborate with trusted partners who manufacture components for us, maintaining the highest standards throughout.
DESIGN & REFIT
DELIVERY & REPOSITIONING
WATERFRONT & MARINE FACILITY CONCEPTS
We care about design and quality, and we think like engineers about function and comfort. Our solutions tend to be simple — but reliable, comfortable, and good to look at. This includes hands-on contract work for maritime companies in Croatia — composite lamination, equipment installation, and vessel assembly — for firms whose own work spans everything from vessel design to marine and port infrastructure. Where a project needs specialized work beyond what we do in-house, we work with a trusted network of partners.
Licensed skipper services for boat delivery and repositioning — by sea, or by road on our own trailers. From coastal moves across the Adriatic to longer repositioning voyages, such as bringing a boat down from Northern Europe around the French and Portuguese coast into the Mediterranean.
Drawing on a background in transport and urban planning, we also work on concept design for marinas, waterfront facilities, and boat-service infrastructure — where land, water, and vehicle logistics meet.
