Categories Non classéTHE ART OF NAUTICAL PAINTING, TESTIMONIAL FROM ANTOINE VICOMTE Post author By Sasha Rouxel Post date 26 March 2025 Behind every beautifully finished boat lies a team of dedicated experts who bring precision, skill, and passion to their craft. Among them is Antoine Vicomte, a painter at Iguana Yachts, who has been perfecting his technique for over eight years. From his early fascination with painting to mastering the art of nautical finishes, Antoine shares his journey, the challenges of painting boats compared to cars, and his relentless pursuit of excellence.Discover in the following interview his meticulous work at Iguana Yachts.TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF “Since childhood, I have always been passionate about painting. I used to paint my toy cars and remote-controlled vehicles, an activity that fascinated me even back then. Even today, I continue to paint at home. I primarily use spray paint or a paint gun to achieve a smooth, high-quality finish. Brushes and rollers tend to leave visible streaks and attract dust more easily, which is why I avoid them.This profession is particularly satisfying and calming, especially when you witness the transformation before and after painting a boat. I pursued a CAP in Bodywork and a CAP in Painting in Normandy. Two months after obtaining my diplomas, I joined Iguana after being contacted by a recruitment agency. Today, I am the longest-serving member of the team, having joined the company in October 2017. I have now been painting boats for eight years.”“The first Iguana model I discovered was the Iguana Original. I was very surprised by the concept of a boat with tracks, but I immediately found it fascinating. I was eager to understand how it worked, and once I saw it in action on the beach, it all made perfect sense.”AUTOMOTIVE VS. NAUTICAL PAINTING: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?“The main difference between automotive and nautical painting lies in the materials used. Cars are generally made of plastic, steel, and sheet metal, whereas boat hulls are made of carbon fiber. However, the tools used for both are largely the same.Today, painting a boat takes us about two weeks, whereas it used to take three and a half weeks. We have optimized our working methods.” “With the growing demand for our boats, we have replaced manual sanding with a sander, improving efficiency. First, we apply a layer of black aerosol paint to the hull. This helps us detect defects after sanding, allowing us to correct them more easily. Generally, four of us work on this task, while a fifth team member focuses on details and consoles.”A QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE “I am happy to work in the nautical industry because it requires greater technical expertise and a higher level of attention to detail. Compared to automotive painting, where surfaces are smaller and more limited, boats demand a more meticulous finishing process.Although I love painting boats, the color palette can sometimes feel repetitive. Around 50% of our orders are in white, followed by gray, black, and blue.”“The time required depends on the model: RIBs are relatively quick to paint, while Iguana Sport and Iguana Commuter take longer due to their taller hulls and the additional work required to paint the connection between the hull and the deck. These advanced finishes can take up to two extra days of work to achieve perfection.“ This job demands a high level of precision, both in painting and surface preparation. Protecting different parts of the boat is essential, especially during touch-ups. I particularly enjoy painting the seats; their varied shapes allow us to observe the paint stretching as it dries, resulting in a smooth and uniform finish.A UNITED TEAM STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE“The painting team is highly efficient and closely bonded. There is a strong sense of camaraderie among us, and even after years of experience, we continue to share knowledge and help each other improve. Our leader, who has even more experience in the field, guides us and provides valuable expertise.I would love to take further training, especially in finishing techniques, as this is a field I am truly passionate about. Creating Iguana logos using an airbrush is a technical challenge that would allow us to push the quality and refinement of our boat finishes even further.” From left to right: Damien, Antoine, David (leader), Florent & Naqui

Categories Non classéIGUANA YACHTS, ALWAYS AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY Post author By Clémence Thellier Post date 26 March 2025 For the past 15 years, we have been dedicated to continuously enhancing our boats, striving for excellence in design, performance, and comfort. Our commitment to innovation drives us to explore and integrate the latest advancements, ensuring that every journey aboard our Iguanas is an unparalleled experience. We are always seeking new ways to improve, refining every detail to provide you with the highest level of quality, reliability, and enjoyment on the water. This time, we would like to present you the Humphree, a stabilizer designed to reduce buffeting, rolling and seasickness. HUMPHREE: A STABILIZATION SYSTEM PERFECT FOR OUR BOATS Founded in Sweden in 2022 by a team of experienced hydrodynamic and marine engineers specializing in high-speed marine propulsion and ship hydrodynamics since the early 1990s, Humphree is an advanced stabilization system designed to enhance the onboard experience. This innovative system features two blades mounted on the stern, which automatically adjust based on speed, lowering to optimize the vessel’s trim and improve wave penetration. It ensures a smoother, more comfortable ride by reducing buffeting and the risk of seasickness. UP DOWNMounted on the rear deck, we equip our Iguanas with two Humphree stabilizers. These are activated automatically or manually via the console, using one of the Garmin screens. Operation is highly intuitive, and maintenance is minimal, requiring only a rinse with fresh water, just like the rest of the boat. This is an option available on all our models. The integration of Humphree L300 stabilizers proved to be simple and perfectly suited to our hulls. Their discreet installation, along with the ease of configuration and the system's intuitiveness, allowed for a quick commissioning. While sailing, we notice a significant improvement in stability, a reduction in bow rise during planing, and increased comfort, especially in rough sea conditions. It is a real added value for our amphibious yachts."LEARN MORE HUMPHREE WEBSITE YOUTUBE VIDEO

Categories Non classéFROM PASSION TO EXPERTISE, REMY FOURRE’S JOURNEY AT IGUANA YACHTS Post author By Sasha Rouxel Post date 27 February 2025 Since a young age, Rémy Fourré has been passionate about electricity. Today, he applies his expertise at Iguana Yachts, playing a key role in the electrical installation of the Iguanas. From his inspiring journey to his daily work driven by innovation, he shares his experience and the challenges of his profession.Read the following interview to learn more about his work at Iguana Yachts.TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF “As a child, I loved taking apart my toys to understand how they worked. One day, I had a small broken computer, and I decided to open it up and try to fix it. To my great joy, I succeeded! We lived in a house under renovation, and I watched the electricians work with fascination. That is how I became interested in exploring this profession. So, I pursued a vocational high school diploma in electrotechnical and communicative equipment at Lycée Dumont d’Urville in Caen (Normandy). After three years of studies, I wanted to enter the workforce directly. However, the construction industry felt too repetitive for my taste.It was around this time that Iguana Yachts reached out to me to join their team. Today, I have been working there for nearly six years. I was involved in the recruitment campaign for the manufacturing of the X100, a new project launched in 2019.”“I am now a technical leader in the electrical department at Iguana Yachts. As my manager’s second-in-command, I take on a leadership role in his absence and handle some administrative tasks, including reporting. Additionally, I was elected as a representative in the company’s Social and Economic Committee (CSE). I enjoy representing my colleagues and highlighting their skills. This helps foster strong team cohesion.” THE IMPORTANCE OF AN IN-HOUSE TEAM OF ELECTRICIANS “We are a team of four in-house electricians, responsible for electrical installations. The advantage of working in-house is that we are trained and specialized, especially for amphibious boats, whose technology is highly advanced. Additionally, this allows us to stay connected with the teams that assembled the boat. As a result, we have a tracking file that enables us to communicate effectively and have a thorough knowledge of every component on the boat.”“We oversee the entire boat from start to finish. We install the main electrical system during pre-decking, then move on to the finishing stage, which requires time and precision. We also ensure that all materials are waterproof to prevent any water infiltration.I enjoy every phase of the process, particularly wiring the cabins for the Iguana Commuter and working on the consoles, which require a keen eye for detail and luxurious finishes.” Today, our boats are stunning, with high-end finishes and remarkable quality. I have a soft spot for the Bow Rider design, which is a true gem in terms of craftsmanship.WHY BOATS INSTEAD OF HOUSES? “Our boats are impressive and technologically innovative. Before joining Iguana Yachts, I did not know amphibious technology, especially not in Normandy! I was immediately drawn to the product. What I particularly enjoy about my job is the variety of tasks. There is no monotony, and we have the privilege of being both autonomous and part of a strong team. The flexibility of our work allows us to engage in different aspects of the manufacturing process, making it highly rewarding.”A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE“On January, 2020, I had the opportunity to attend the Düsseldorf Boat Show with the team. We started the trip with a team-building activity before diving into the exhibition. This experience was incredibly enriching; it inspired us to refine the aesthetics and optimize the electrical design of our boats.” From left to right, Zied.B (Electricity leader), Rémy.F, Maximilien.L, Mohammed.K (absent)Interested in joining the team?
