AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT THE DUBAI BOAT SHOW 2022

We were very happy to be at the Dubai International Boat Show this year. It had been a few years since we had the chance to attend. 

On this occasion we presented the Iguana Knight for the first time ever in public. Our most luxurious customizable amphibious RIB. A model that was launched in 2020 after the success of the Iguana X100. With twin 200 HP Yamahas, an all-black look and beautiful details, this custom 9.44m RIB made a sensation at the show.

Iris and Toby

People from all over the Middle East, Asia, Europe and even North America, visited the show. More than 400 boats and recreational water sport equipment were displayed along with 50 superyachts. It was a great opportunity for the leisure industry to get together after 2 years of the show being canceled.

With a buzzing atmosphere and a great vibe, our team Toby, Iris and Julien had the chance to meet incredible people, clients, brokers and show runners.

To pick up the Iguana Knight at our client’s waterfront villa, we enjoyed a beautiful ride along Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab. And to get to the boat show, we even drove in the streets of Dubai in the day and at night.

The Middle-East is a very important market for Iguana Yachts. This is where we sold the first Iguana back in 2013. It is still up and running in spite of the difficult conditions (heat, sand and salt) and the owner still enjoys his 2 Iguanas to get in and out from his beach house. There are Iguanas in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait and Bahrain, used for waterfront villas, superyachts and hotels.

We will definitely be back next year!

DELIVERY IN AUSTRALIA: AN IGUANA COMMUTER ON THE GOLD COAST

What if your boat could be stored and easily accessible in your driveway? 

A few weeks ago, we have delivered an Iguana Commuter on the Gold Coast, in Australia. Steve, our sales representative met John, the new happy Iguana owner. 

When you become an Iguana owner, you get the chance to be introduced to the Iguana Family. Your boat is moving and exploring the world on land and at sea. John’s boat is directly parked in his garden, hidden from view and bad weather. With the Iguana parked on its tracks, it is ready to go instantly like a car. It’s so easy to access and launch, it becomes a means of transport like any other vehicle. Freedom is at your door. 

“I’ve been thinking about buying an Iguana for many years and tossing up, you know. Is this the right boat for me? I am just so happy with the decision. It’s like the best sports car you can own.”

John Calleija

The Iguana Commuter is truly unique. It can navigate smoothly and dryly through choppy waters, and safely and easily embark on virtually any terrain. It is the ideal support vessel for your waterfront home.

The private cabin with an electric lockable door includes a day bed with soft lighting and a skylight. It also provides ample secure storage for valuable and personal items. 

The Iguana Commuter is the most advanced model in the Iguana range. The convertible hard-top is a unique feature to the Iguana Commuter and at the touch of a button, transforms from a heightened sunshade to a completely sealed waterproof helm. 

“Everything is beautifully engineered, beautifully finished off and it just performs so well. We’ve just been out there for the day now and it is just a legendary beautiful boat, beautiful design, absolutely gorgeous, I couldn’t be happier!”

John Calleija

BEST WISHES FOR 2022 FROM IGUANA YACHTS CEO

Thank you for supporting us in 2021!

It has been a great year for Iguana Yachts. We have increased our revenues by more than 40% and we expect to grow again significantly in 2022 despite the Covid crisis.

This has been possible thanks to an important acceleration of our sales and marketing approach.

Iguana amphibious boat white edition

Expanding our range of boats

Iguana Yachts is expanding its range of models to meet the needs of all our different clients.

The white edition is the big success of the year. It offers a nice combination of the versatility of the X100 and the chic features of the Knight which makes it stand out from the crowd.

The Iguana Pro Rider has convinced those who are looking for performance and seaworthiness at high speed and that want the amphibious ability to climb any kind of coast. It is a comfortable 4 by 4 landing boat inspired by the pro boats delivered to the US Army

Finally the first Iguana Sport will be delivered in the coming months. It will become a classic option for those who like water sport, cruising, sun bathing as well as the very recognizable Iguana elegant design.

New dealers around the world

But this is not all. Iguana yachts has been very pleased to get the support of new dealers in Thailand (MF Group) who is a very enthusiastic and committed partner, on the lake Michigan (Elk Rapid Marina) who are launching their activity at very high speed in a very professional way, and in Miami (Prestige Marine) under the very well known leading figure Brett David.

I am also very proud to announce that my daughter Iris is now in charge of marketing and sales strategy. This has helped us a lot during these last two difficult years where it was difficult to access our clients.

Antoine Brugidou Iguana Yachts

Working on the quality of our craft

But beside this, a lot of things happened behind the scene.

Becoming a sort of Ferrari of the seas combining high technology, innovation and attention to design and finish is a challenge which cannot be done overnight. 2021 has set the foundation of our after-sales and quality program while our production pace is progressively increasing. Our team is always available for you all around the world and we sell more and more premium services which ensure a long term relationship with our clients.

In 2022 we will get one step further. While continuing to expanding our range of models and increasing our volume of production, we will reach another level of efficiency and quality to position Iguana Yachts not only as the best amphibious boats in terms of efficiency but also as one of the best brands in motor boating.

All the best for 2022

Look out for us in the coming months, we will surprise you.

I wish you the best for you and your family. Life is too short not to appreciate every minute of it.

Just embark in this new year and enjoy the freedom of motor boating with no constraints. 

Antoine Brugidou, Iguana Yachts CEO & Founder

X100 WHITE EDITION IN THE SNOW IN MICHIGAN

We are delighted to announce that our first Iguana X100 White Edition has arrived in Michigan, USA. Elk Rapids Marina is a boat dealership based in Elk Rapids, around Elk Lake, in Northern Michigan.

It is our first dealership on a lake. We believe our amphibious boats are the perfect solution for the waterfront properties around the lake. Some of these properties don’t have a dock. It is difficult to have a build permit and docks in Michigan weather get easily damaged with time. What a disappointment if you can’t have a boat at home when you have a wonderful view on the lake and sometimes a private beach. 

This is why Iguana amphibious boats are the solution. Drive-up onto your beach and store it easily. The tracks are perfect for the area and they work on the sand as well as pebbles and snow!

Susie and Lewis share our view and this is why we became partners. It is always a pleasure to work with them. We have total faith in them and they are the perfect contact in Michigan to advise you on Iguana craft.

You haven’t tried an Iguana yet? Stop by at Elk Rapids Marina and check it out.

Try it! You are going to love it!

ABOUT SUSIE AND LEWIS

BEHIND THE SCENE: IGUANA YACHTS FACTORY

OUR TALENTED PAINTERS

The paint quality of our boat is extremely important to our customers who expect superyacht quality for their boat. We have therefore acquired our own paint booth at the shipyard.

Our painters work on each boat with a lot of expertise to make it perfect from the hull to the smallest detail. Usually, one boat spends 4 to 15 days in painting according to the model.
