GENESIS
The Tides of Normandy
Normandy is one of the most tidal region in the world. The Iguana was born from the will to overcome the difficult access to the sea by building the most all terrain amphibious vehicule while still remaining a super capable boat.
Navigate With No Constraints
The Iguana was founded on one man’s desire to enjoy boating without constraints. A boat which does not need to be anchored, berthed, or trailered is a boat that can be enjoyed anytime anywhere.
When Dreams Become Reality
When Antoine Brugidou started to talk about his idea of making boats able to land and launch on their own, many looked at him amusedly. Thanks to its tenacity, his solid engineer background, and his passion, today Iguana Yachts is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful company in the marine industry.
