HOW WE DESIGNED THE BRAND NEW IGUANA SPORT

The Iguana Sport was designed by the team Fritsch and Durisotti, who have been working on the Iguana from the very beginning. We wanted a boat that had the Iguana DNA: audacious, sporty, and well-designed. 

Our inspiration came from the other Iguanas as well as from other projects we are working on. Having the chance to work on so many different projects gives us the opportunity to be more creative.

Iguana Sport

The floor is higher compared to the other Iguanas. Every detail has been well thought out and made meticulous care in order to improve comfort, safety, and aesthetics. 

The biggest challenge was to imagine the deck, which needed to be both practical and comfortable. We spent a lot of time and effort on this part of the boat. 

The Iguana Sport has a unique hard-top that is streamlined, giving it an attractive look on the water. Its sporty shape makes it very attractive on the water.

PRESENTING THE ALL-NEW IGUANA SPORT

Over the past ten years, we have acquired a lot of experience and knowledge by designing, building and perfecting our different models. The Iguana Sport is a mix of our best models to create a boat that is both faster and stronger and that combines aesthetics and versatility.
If you know our brand, we got inspiration from the X100, the Original, the Knight and the Pro Rider to create this rigid-hull boat, built for speed and day boating.

The Iguana Sport is the result of 3 years of research and development inside the Iguana Research Unit. We have learned a lot by working on this model.

Iguana Sport

A MORE PRACTICAL AND VERSATILE DECK

The Iguana Sport is above all a very practical boat made for multiple activities such as cruising, water sports, family trips and sunbathing.

Inspired by the Iguana Original, the Iguana Sport is the new version of the center console Iguana boat. The Original was the first model ever designed by Iguana Yachts. This first boat offered a very powerful and unique design that is both beautiful and groundbreaking. Today, this Original model is very much appreciated by superyachts as it is compact to fit in garages and as it offers a lot of seating capacity to transport guests. With the Iguana Sport, we wanted to offer an open center console boat suitable for more people and activities with a more classic deck.

Our engineering team worked on creating a more spacious deck for life onboard and they extended storage spaces. With a nice seating area at the back, a comfortable dual seat at the front and two helm mitigating seats, the Sport provides comfort and space. Just like the Original, the Sport has a nice center console but it is wider for a more enjoyable driving experience. It is now possible to opt for 2 navigation screens on the Iguana Sport. With lots of space inside the boat, it is easy to embark equipment for water sports, snorkeling or fishing.

THE FASTEST IGUANA SO FAR

Iguana Sport

The Iguana Sport is the fastest model in the Iguana range. It is designed for speed. With a very strong reinforced hull, the Sport can withstand two 450 HP Mercury outboards. With its V-shaped hull fitted with powerful engines the Sport easily reaches 56 knots.  Nevertheless, it is a comfortable boat suitable for family trips and life onboard. The Sport has a high hull that makes it very dry even in rough seas. 

A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN WITH IGUANA SIGNATURE LOOK

Just like any other Iguana, the Iguana Sport is both beautiful and well designed. The well known French designers, Antoine Fritsch and Vivien Durisotti have worked to create a boat with a classic mediterranean look. With sleek lines, a very minimal and chic aesthetics, the Iguana Sport will appeal to boaters drawn to beautiful products. 

The Iguana Sport is also customizable with many options from integrated hard-tops to custom painted engines and underwater LEDs. 2 Iguana Sports are currently being built at the shipyard. A snow white Iguana Sport with classic grey upholstery and a metallic grey Iguana Sport with a carbon fiber Hard Top. The Iguana Sport is the perfect combination of aesthetic and functionality. 

The Iguana Sport is a beautiful product, that is both functional and versatile.

Iguana Sport

With this model, we would like to give our customers a completely different day boating experience. Something sporty, functional and beautiful. An experience you could only have with Iguana. This is one of our best pieces: the Iguana Sport. 

Iguana Sport

After the success of the Iguana X100 in Europe and in the world, we hope to seduce the American market with this brand new rigid hull model; the Iguana Sport.

ENJOY WITH EASE AND STYLE

Its perfectly convenient deck layout and simple features make the Iguana Sport a classic boat made for all types of uses and activities. The Iguana Sport provides you with all the comfort needed to spend time at sea. It is the perfect combination of elegance and relaxation. It is above all a powerful easy to drive boat.

AN IGUANA ON HERM: THE PERFECT CAR FOR A SMALL ISLAND

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege to deliver this beautiful Iguana Commuter back to her owner after a winter refit at the shipyard. Built-in 2018, it is the first Commuter of the Iguana range. She is used on a small island in the English Channel: Herm Island. 

A CAR-FREE ISLAND

Known for its protected coastline and car-free lifestyle, Herm Island is one of the Channel Islands located near Guernsey. Herm offers beautiful beaches and spectacular views for a relaxing retreat in the British Isles. It is an island of about 200 hectares and the easiest way to get there is by boat. However, the island is subject to strong tides, which can prevent any travel. 

In 2017, our client John came to us with a request. He needed a boat that could be used at any time of the day even at low tide. Iguana’s teams created the first Commuter for Herm in 2017. 

Due to the island’s small size, there are not many shops. John regularly travels to Guernsey to do his daily shopping and to visit the doctor or friends. For this, he needed a practical, powerful, tide-independent, and relatively easy-to-store boat. That is why he chose Iguana Yachts. He now uses his Iguana like a car to commute to Guernsey and to the mainland. 

A BOAT THAT IS USED LIKE A CAR

With his Iguana, John can easily commute to and from the mainland. It becomes a means of transport like any other. Simple to launch, to drive and to land, John can be on and off his island within minutes. 

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. “

John

THE PERFECT SUPPLY VESSEL

The boat can also be used as a supply vessel for provision. John and his family can bring shopping from the mainland directly to their doorstep, avoiding multiple trips to and from a dock. 

My wife will put shopping down inside the cabin of the boat. It’s a nice space, it looks neat and tidy. It is a secure space.”

John

THE IDEAL BOAT FOR DIFFICULT NATURAL CONDITIONS

The boat is very well protected by its enclosed electric hard-top. This is very practical for John, whose boat is used in the English Channel where the weather can be unpredictable. This allows a safe and dry ride. The Commuter is very stable and can be driven in harsh seas. It can also tackle any terrain at low tide thanks to the integrated Iguana tracks.

We use the boat in rough conditions as well as good conditions because we don’t choose the weather. With the Commuter, I can go to Guernsey now dressed as I am. It’s totally weather protected.”

John

PREMIUM MAINTENANCE SERVICES

This Commuter has returned to the shipyard this year for a technical inspection. Our after-sales team has upgraded the batteries, serviced the engines, and checked every small detail that needed to be reviewed. 

CHANGING THE WINDSCREEN

For his boat, the owner had a particular request. When he ordered the Iguana, it came with a smoked windscreen. After using it, he wanted to change it for a classic windscreen which is more suitable for British weather. Iguana technicians removed the previous windscreen before installing the new one.

UPGRADING THE BATTERY

Originally, the Commuters were equipped with only one battery. In five years, the Iguana technology has evolved and improved. These models have now three batteries. One for each motor and one for the accessories. We have therefore brought the electrical installations up to standard. 

Every detail was checked and a complete cleaning of the boat was done before returning it to its place of residence. Our services rely on an exchange between the customer and our after-sales team so as to respond to any specific need and request.

The boat is now back on Herm just in time for Easter! John will be able to enjoy swift rides with his grandchildren.

“Most of my family lives in the UK, they fly to Guernsey and we collect them from the main harbour and bring them over in the boat. My grandchildren particularly enjoy the speed of the boat, they are very impressed by speed. My youngest grandson has sat on my lap and driven the boat”

Iguana Sport

This boat will go straight to Michigan in the US to enjoy swift rides on the lake. With an all-white glossy paint, this Iguana Sport will match the snowy Michigan weather. Our dealer, Elk Rapids Marina, is looking forward to showing this brand-new model to their clientele on the lake.

Fitted with twin 350 HP Mercurys, the Iguana Sport model can also handle bigger engines like twin 450s for faster rides.

Popularity is already growing for this model as a second Iguana Sport is already on the way. Stay tuned for exclusive pictures of the Iguana Sport in May 2022.

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!
