A NEW IGUANA KNIGHT DELIVERED IN IRELAND

This month, we delivered a custom Iguana Knight to its new owner on the Irish coast, an ideal setting for an amphibious boat. With strong tides, rugged beaches, and limited launch points, Ireland is a place where traditional boating can be restrictive. The Iguana system changes that entirely, allowing owners to launch directly from their shoreline at any time.

A DELIVERY EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER

Our salesperson traveled to Ireland to personally hand over the new Knight and provide on-water and on-land training. 

The customer learned how to seamlessly transition from beach to sea, navigate local waters, and return safely to shore in seconds. 

With custom features, pivoting seats, a table with stemmed glass holders, and a refreshing bottle on board, the delivery felt personal. It was the first chapter of a new lifestyle on the Irish waters.

WHY THE IGUANA KNIGHT STANDS OUT

The Iguana Knight is a luxury RIB tender known for its power, stability, and ease of use. Reaching up to 56 knots, it offers a dry, safe ride and effortless shoreside launching. Standard premium features include touchscreen electronics, premium upholstery, surround sound, and a marine head.

Perfect for waterfront property owners or superyachts, the Knight combines performance, comfort, and total freedom, ensuring more time on the water. The Iguana Knight is the most versatile member of our amphibious range.

 Every Iguana is engineered around its owner. Explore the possibilities and let our team craft an amphibious boat tailored entirely to your lifestyle.

A NEW IGUANA SPORT HITS THE TURKISH COAST

This month, we proudly delivered a brand-new Iguana Sport along Turkey’s stunning coastline. With its pristine beaches, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters, the region is ideal for exploration, but traditional boats often face limitations when it comes to launching, landing, and maneuverability. The Iguana Sport solves all of that, offering the freedom to cruise, land, and enjoy the sea without compromise.

A SMOOTH DELIVERY EXPERIENCE

Our team traveled to Turkey to ensure a hands-on delivery experience. 

From the first moment the Sport glided effortlessly from shore to sea, the owner experienced the perfect blend of power and comfort. 

Onboard, the spacious open deck, all-around seating, and large helm made learning the amphibious controls easy and intuitive.

The day included sea trials, beach landings, and testing the boat’s impressive performance, reaching speeds up to 62 knots, all while enjoying the ease of a fully equipped electric head, generous storage, and thoughtful deck layout. 

By the end of the delivery, it was not just a handover; it was a first taste of a new, adventurous lifestyle on the water.

SPOTLIGHT: THE IGUANA SPORT

The Iguana Sport is designed for those who want both performance and leisure. Its open deck layout and classic lines make it perfect for cruising, water sports, sunbathing, and family trips, while its amphibious capability allows it to land anywhere with ease. Owners appreciate its combination of power, comfort, and elegance.

Whether exploring Turkey’s hidden coves or serving as a versatile yacht tender, the Iguana Sport delivers the ultimate combination of style, comfort, and amphibious freedom.

Every Iguana is fully customizable, from paint to deck layout, electronics to lighting. Reach out to the closest dealer to get more information, and to enquire about your future Iguana.

INTRODUCING THE NEW IGUANA MOBILITY SYSTEM

At Iguana Yachts, innovation never stops. This year, we are proud to unveil the brand-new version of the IMS, Iguana Mobility System interface, fully redesigned to offer an even smoother, clearer, and more enjoyable piloting experience. Developed over several months within our design office, this updated interface reflects our commitment to innovation.

A SMARTER & MORE INTUITIVE IMS

The IMS is the central hub that allows every Iguana owner to control the amphibious mobility system effortlessly. With this new update, the interface becomes even more intuitive, unifying the experience across all Iguana models.

The redesigned screens feature a cleaner layout, improved readability, enhanced ergonomics, and a more fluid navigation structure. New options and refined visual cues guide users naturally, ensuring that piloting the mobility system feels both simple and instinctive, even for first-time Iguana owners.

This evolution is not just a cosmetic upgrade: it is a complete rethink of how users interact with the boat’s core systems, ensuring clarity, comfort, and confidence on every adventure.

The goal was simple: create something reliable and intuitive. We wanted every client to understand instantly how to use the system. The interface had to feel natural, ergonomic, and consistent across the entire Iguana range, something that makes piloting effortless.”

AVAILABLE ON ALL IGUANA

This new IMS interface will now be implemented on every new Iguana deliveredFor our existing owners, the update will also be available for download, allowing the entire Iguana community to benefit from the improved experience, regardless of the model or year.

This upgrade is our way of ensuring that every Iguana, past, present, and future, continues to evolve with the best of our technology.

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.
