THANK YOU NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW

The curtain has closed on the 2025 Newport International Boat Show, and what a weekend it was. From September 11–14, we had the privilege of showcasing the Iguana Commuter in the heart of Rhode Island’s historic waterfront, surrounded by an incredible atmosphere of innovation, passion, and community.

A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE

The show brought together boating enthusiasts, industry leaders, and adventurers from around the world. We were proud to demonstrate how Iguana’s amphibious technology blends performance, practicality, and luxury. Seeing the excitement on visitors’ faces as they discovered what the Commuter can do was truly inspiring.

GRATITUDE TO OUR HOSTS & COMMUNITY

A heartfelt thank you to the Newport International Boat Show team for hosting us at one of the most prestigious marine events in the U.S. 

 

We also want to thank everyone who stopped by our stand, your curiosity, energy, and enthusiasm made this event unforgettable. Our community continues to grow stronger with every conversation and every shared moment.

As the 2025 boat show season continues, we look forward to more opportunities to connect, share, and inspire. Thank you, Newport, for an amazing experience, we will see you again soon!

MEET ARTHUR ECHIVARD, PROGRAMMING THE FUTURE OF THE IGUANA MOBILITY SYSTEM

This month, we had the pleasure of interviewing Arthur Echivard. Passionate about technology since childhood, Arthur has turned his curiosity into a career dedicated to designing and programming advanced systems. From his early experiments with electronics to his latest innovations on the Iguana Mobility System, his journey is one of creativity, perseverance, and a constant drive to improve.

Learn more about his background, his role, and his vision in the following interview.

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF

“I have always known that I wanted to become an engineer. Since childhood, I have been passionate about building and repairing things. I used to dismantle old appliances at home just to understand how they worked. Once, I even nearly set the house on fire after trying to restart a washing machine at age twelve. It was a bit too complex electronically for me at that time, but this curiosity and love for tinkering never left me.

After high school, I chose a scientific path and entered preparatory classes in mathematics before joining an engineering school in La Rochelle. During this time, I had an internship in the aeronautical sector, but I quickly realized that production-oriented roles were not for me. I am more attracted to technical studies and programming. That led me to pursue a Master’s degree in mechatronics, which combines electronics, programming, and mechanics. During my studies, I worked on a project developing an electric bicycle recharged with solar panels. I enjoyed it so much that I continued with the project for two years.”

“Later, I started my own micro-enterprise. One of the projects I worked on was the development of a machine capable of removing labels from glass bottles so they could be reused; a real challenge in the context of the circular economy. I also contributed to several electric mobility projects before moving with my family to Normandy, where my journey with Iguana Yachts began.”

It is a remarkably robust and well-thought-out technology. Seeing an Iguana for the first time is always a surprise!”

A KEY ROLE AT IGUANA YACHTS

“At Iguana, my work focuses mainly on programming and electronic architecture. I also handle the integration of the electrical system on board and work closely with the electrical department to bring in new components. A big part of my role is also developing and refining the IMS, the Iguana Mobility System.

Because we are a relatively small company, my position is very versatile. I do not really have a “typical” day.”

“Most of the time, I am in front of my computer improving our systems, but I also support the after-sales service when urgent software issues arise, or assist the quality team in ensuring each boat leaves our workshop with a perfectly functional IMS.”

LATEST INNOVATIONS

“One of my biggest projects at Iguana has been the complete redesign of the IMS interface. The idea was to create a single, intuitive system across all Iguana models. I wanted to make it as clear and user-friendly as possible so that any client could pilot the IMS without difficulty.

More recently, I have been working with Garmin on a much larger project. The goal is to develop a modern, elegant graphical interface directly on the onboard screens, first to control all the equipment on board, and later the IMS itself. “

“The ambition is to deliver something at the same level of refinement as the boat itself. For me, the challenge is always the same: creating systems that are both reliable and intuitive, much like the experience of using a familiar platform such as Google.”

When you buy an Iguana, you are not just buying a boat, you are buying freedom: the freedom to go from sea to land, wherever you wish.”

THE FUTURE OF IGUANA MOBILITY

“If I had to describe Iguana in three words, I would say freedom, innovation, and robustness. Freedom, because our boats allow people to explore both land and sea without limits, and because within the company, we also have the freedom to suggest and develop new ideas. Innovation, because Iguana is unique: no one else in the world builds boats like these. And robustness, because despite the demanding marine environment, the technology has proven solid and reliable.”

“Looking to the future, I believe Iguana should continue to invest in research and development, particularly in sustainable solutions. I would love to see us build a fully electric Iguana one day; quiet, environmentally friendly, and offering a truly exceptional water experience.”

CLOSING OF THE IGUANA SUMMER TOUR 2025 EDITION

As summer fades and the coastline settles into autumn, the Iguana Summer Tour 2025 comes to an end where it all began: Newport, Rhode Island, one of America’s most iconic boating hubs.

Over the past months, we have journeyed across the East Coast, from Jamestown to Sag Harbor, Montauk to Stonington, and beyond.

Each stop brought unforgettable moments: sea trials in the golden evening light, spontaneous conversations on the beach, laughter on board, and that instant spark in someone’s eyes the moment the Iguana shifted effortlessly from sand to sea.

More than a tour, this was a celebration of a lifestyle. A way of being close to the water without barriers. A new kind of freedom, one that so many of you discovered for the very first time with us this summer.

Ending the season at the Newport Boat Show is more than symbolic. It Is a chance to share the innovation, design, and performance of Iguana with the wider boating community, and to invite even more people into the experience that has already inspired so many along the way.

 To everyone who joined us, tried the Iguana, or simply stopped by to say hello, thank you. You have been part of this journey, and perhaps, part of the future of boating!

If you have not yet, this is your moment:
Book a private sea trial, experience the Iguana difference, and discover how your coastal lifestyle could change forever.

WHY AN IGUANA IS THE PERFECT TENDER FOR A CARIBBEAN WINTER SEASON?

As the superyacht fleets prepare to migrate across the Atlantic for the Caribbean winter season, owners and charter clients are seeking smarter, more versatile ways to enjoy the islands. Beyond turquoise waters, the Caribbean offers rugged shorelines, secluded beaches, and remote coves that are not always easily accessible with a traditional tender. This is where we redefine the experience, Iguana delivers true go-anywhere freedom without compromising  style and comfort.

PERFECT YACHT TENDER

For superyacht owners, Iguana offers the ideal complement to large yachts during Caribbean charters:

Flexible Transfers: Glide from the mothership directly to a beach barbecue, a rainforest trail, or a waterfront resort.

Effortless Boarding: Guests disembark with dry feet, eliminating the awkward beach landings of conventional tenders.

Seamless Luxury: Iguana’s sleek design matches the aesthetic expectations of a luxury yacht lifestyle while offering unique functionality no other tender provides.

ELEVATE YOUR EXPERIENCE

As the Caribbean charter season heats up, yacht owners are looking for ways to differentiate their onboard offering. With an Iguana Yacht, every transfer becomes an experience, every hidden beach becomes accessible, and every day can be designed with spontaneity and ease.

In an increasingly competitive charter market, an Iguana tender elevates the yacht’s value proposition. It offers guests a unique, adventure while delivering practical, reliable access to the Caribbean’s most exclusive hideaways.

LUXURY NOMAD LIFE

Today’s yacht owners and charterers increasingly embody the “luxury nomad” spirit.

It means staying longer in remote areas, combining work and leisure, with versatile tools for their journeys. Iguana Yachts were built for this lifestyle:

Fully Customizable: Each model can be tailored to the owner’s tastes and yacht design.

Adventure Ready: Accessing hidden spots, Iguana ensures that no destination is off-limits.

Luxury Meets Practicality: The boat doubles as both a stylish tender and an independent day boat.

Why waiting? Get your Iguanan now!

WHY AN IGUANA IS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR PRIVATE ISLANDS?

Owning a private island is the ultimate expression of freedom and luxury, but it also comes with unique challenges. Transporting supplies, welcoming guests, and ensuring reliable mobility are essential parts of island living. This is where the Iguana amphibious boat transforms the experience, offering unmatched versatility, safety, and eco-friendly innovation.

FREEDOM & FLEXIBILITY

RELIABLE IN ALL CONDITIONS

ECO-FRIENDLY INNOVATION

EVERYDAY SIMPLICITY

This is my solution. The Amphibious boat is my car. There are no cars on Herm Island. If you want to go for a cup of coffee or to a shop or to do anything, then it’s a three-mile journey to the nearest island, which is Guernsey. We use Iguana as you would use a car.

FEATURED IN PRIVATE ISLAND MAGAZINE

We are proud to announce that Iguana is featured in the Spring/Summer 2025 edition of Private Islands Magazine, the definitive showcase for the world’s most exclusive island properties. 

With over 112 pages dedicated to unique and beautiful islands, this publication is the perfect stage to highlight how amphibious innovation empowers private island living.

EXPANDING HORIZONS WITH OUR LATEST DELIVERIES

Every delivery is more than handing over a boat. It is about transforming the way our clients live, travel, and experience the sea. Our amphibious technology continues to win the trust of discerning owners worldwide, and our two most recent deliveries, in Malta and Antigua, showcase exactly why.

MALTA, WHEN ONE IGUANA IS NOT ENOUGH

Some passions can not be satisfied with just one. In Malta, one of our valued owners recently took delivery of his second Iguana, a testament to the innovation, reliability, and performance our boats deliver year after year.

ITALY'S DIVERSE COASTLINE

An Iguana is perfect for Italy’s diverse coastline, from the rocky coves of Capri to the sandy stretches of Sardinia.

Many of these idyllic spots lack docks or slips, but with amphibious technology, you can land directly on the beach and explore with ease.

The Iguana also lets you bypass crowded marinas, giving you direct access to Italy’s hidden gems while protecting your boat on land when not in use.

ANTIGUA, ISLAND LIFE REDEFINED

Across the Atlantic, the Caribbean welcomed a new Iguana X100 White Edition, delivered to its proud new owner in Antigua. With its turquoise waters, hidden coves, and miles of pristine beaches, Antigua offers a lifestyle like no other. But with limited docks and marinas, accessibility can often be a challenge.

Owners gain not only freedom of movement but also long-term savings and peace of mind. Iguana makes a difference and transforms island living

NEW ENGLAND LIFESTYLE

In Nantucket, where tides and weather can complicate boating, the Iguana offers unmatched freedom. You can launch directly from the beach, access remote stretches of coastline, and avoid the costs and hassle of limited mooring space. With the ability to safely store the boat on land, it’s the ideal solution for island living, flexible, practical, and ready for year-round New England conditions.

From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, these deliveries illustrate why Iguana Yachts is the choice for those who refuse to be limited by docks, tides, or terrain. Each new boat strengthens a global community of owners who embrace freedom, adventure, and innovation.

With every delivery, we are not just adding a boat to the water, we are opening a world of possibilities.

THE IGUANA SUMMER TOUR 2025 AT THE PRIDWIN HOTEL, SHELTER ISLAND

From August 8–10, 2025, the Iguana Summer Tour made a special stop at the historic Pridwin Hotel and Cottages on Shelter Island, NY. We had the pleasure of sharing the Iguana Commuter with its guests. The Pridwin offered the perfect setting for a weekend where boating, lifestyle, and community came together.

Sun Summer Tour

A WEEKEND BY THE WATER

The rhythm of summer was alive on Shelter Island.

Mornings began with calm seas and the hum of sailboats in the distance, afternoons unfolded with sea trials right off the Pridwin’s beach, and evenings lingered into golden sunsets. Guests climbed aboard the Iguana Commuter, tried the helm, and discovered firsthand what it means to travel seamlessly from land to sea. Beyond the trials, it was about conversations, laughter, and connecting with people who share the same love for adventure on the water.

HOSPITALITY AT ITS BEST

We could not have asked for a better host, in a beloved waterfront retreat that has welcomed generations of families for nearly 100 years.

The Pridwin, with its timeless charm and incredible views, welcomed us with open arms. From the warmth of the team to the energy of the guests, every detail made this weekend unforgettable.

It was more than a stop on the tour, it felt like being part of a community woven into the spirit of Shelter Island.

THE STAR OF THE SHOW, THE IGUANA COMMUTER

Of course, the spotlight was on the Iguana Commuter

Guests experienced how this amphibious boat blends innovation with comfort: the convertible hard top that transforms with a touch, the private cabin complete with day bed and head, and the effortless transition from sea to shore. On choppy waters, she remained steady and smooth. On land, she rolled up the beach with ease. The Commuter proved herself not only as a luxury tender but also as a vessel that redefines freedom on the water.

Sun Summer Tour

The Iguana Summer Tour continues!

We look forward to welcoming you on the beach!
