The unique amphibious capability of this boat opens a new era. Iguana Pro are fast and efficient boats riding at speeds up to 47 mph and have the capability to land.

Built with sheer simplicity and fitted with the very last technology, the powertrain architecture is developed specifically to be both efficient and extremely resistant. Hydraulic propulsion combined with simple mechanisms provides long-term operation and easy maintenance.

The Iguana Pro design is based on a deep-V carbon fiber hull combined with shock mitigation construction allows operation safely in strong weather and breaking seas providing the stability and maneuverability to operate effectively in a hostile maritime environment.

The Iguana Pro could be the future solution of Special Forces units with a fast boat similar to standard Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) which can be used on the sea but also the land to perform landing operations.
