Vision

To become the global benchmark for museum-quality wooden ship model kits—preserving maritime heritage through uncompromised accuracy, disciplined craftsmanship, and lifelong dedication to historical truth.

Brand Story

Maris Stella Ltd was founded with a simple yet demanding conviction: that maritime history deserves to be recreated with precision, respect, and mastery. From our origins in the Adriatic—one of Europe’s historic shipbuilding regions—we inherited a deep connection to naval tradition.
Our journey began not with commercial ambition, but with a desire to design ship model kits that meet the standards of museums, historians, and master modelers. Every model we create is a continuation of this founding spirit: serious research, disciplined craftsmanship, and an unbroken commitment to historical fidelity.

Craftsmanship Philosophy

We believe craftsmanship is a lifelong pursuit.
Every kit is shaped by three principles:

1. Accuracy above convenience — Historical integrity guides all design decisions.
2. Quality without compromise — Materials, fittings, and engineering must meet professional standards.
3. Craft as devotion — Precision is earned through years of practice, not shortcuts.
   From micro-accurate laser cutting to hand-selected woods and precisely engineered structures, each Maris Stella model reflects our belief that true craftsmanship requires focus, respect, and discipline.
