Iguana Yachts

Iguana Yachts is a French luxury boatbuilder specialising in high‑performance amphibious yachts that redefine access to the water. Founded in Normandy in the late 2000s, the brand pioneers an integrated track system that allows its craft to drive effortlessly up beaches, ramps and varied shorelines, then retracts seamlessly into a deep‑V hull for true offshore capability. This dual personality – proven land mobility and genuine seakeeping – underpins every model in the range.

From its shipyard in Mondeville, Iguana Yachts designs and builds premium amphibious boats from about 9 to 10 metres, spanning RIBs, centre consoles, cabins and bow riders. The flagship Iguana RIB is a versatile 31‑foot platform configurable for family cruising, superyacht tender duties or professional use. Centre console variants such as the Fisher and Sport focus on open‑water performance, fishing and watersports, while cabin and bow rider models, including the Bow Rider and Commuter, deliver fast, comfortable coastal cruising with the freedom to land directly on the beach.

The heart of the brand is its patented track system. Engineered as a boat first with the added benefit of land drive, each Iguana features a high‑tech amphibious platform integrated into the structure rather than bolted on. On land, the tracks provide powerful, all‑terrain traction over sand, shingle, mud and steep waterfronts, enabling owners of beachfront homes, private islands, hotels or resorts to embark directly from their property without jetties or marinas. At sea, the gear folds cleanly into the hull so hydrodynamics and performance are preserved, allowing high cruising speeds and confident handling in rougher conditions.

Iguana Yachts positions itself firmly at the luxury end of the market, with meticulous French craftsmanship, refined detailing and extensive customisation. The company offers bespoke layouts and finishes, as well as one‑off projects built on its amphibious platform for clients seeking unique tenders or specialty craft. Dedicated experience pathways highlight how each model suits different lifestyles – from waterfront properties and private islands to superyacht tenders and high‑end hotels & resorts – supported by an aftersales programme that includes sea trials, tailored handover and ongoing technical support worldwide.

With more than 18 years of experience, deliveries in over 30 countries and a portfolio of around ten models plus pre‑owned offerings, Iguana Yachts has become a reference in amphibious innovation. Its boats are used as private leisure craft, luxury yacht tenders and professional platforms, all sharing the same promise: fast, comfortable performance at sea, paired with effortless access on land and a level of freedom that conventional boats cannot match.
