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

This is the second Iguana acquired by this British owner. He used to have an Iguana Original and switched to an Iguana X100 for more comfort and versatility.

“This Iguana is perfect for my waterfront property, I can store it easily in my garage. It takes me a few minutes to embark and launch my boat into the water. Very valuable.” – Iguana Owner

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!

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.

ON THE FIELD WITH THE IGUANA AFTERSALES TEAM FOR BOAT SERVICE

Our aftersales team, composed of top-level engineers, is organized to support Iguana owners remotely and to provide the best boat services. Thanks to a dedicated 7/7 hotline and to our connected boats for remote diagnostics, owners have the peace of mind of year-round dedicated support. Moreover, our aftersales engineers can also go on the field everywhere in the world to support you if you feel the need. Today, Fabrice just arrived in St Kitts & Nevis for an annual service after finishing a repair job in Massachusetts USA.

7/7 SUPPORT LINE & REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS

Our team responds to Iguana owners’ calls 7/7 all year long to answer any question and to ensure technical assistance and to provide qualitative boat service. At delivery, new owners receive a special training for 2 days at their house with an Iguana expert. Then, we make sure that owners have all the help they need during their Iguana journey by being close and available through our hotline support and with direct access to trained Iguana engineers.

Thanks to an embedded connected system, we can diagnose the boats remotely through 4G. It enables quick diagnostics, key verifications and access to statistics. By combining the hotline and remote diagnostics, our aftersales team can respond to almost any questions, doubt and anomalies an owner can encounter.

TRAINING LOCAL TECHNICIANS

We make sure Iguana owners have all the support they need locally by training local technicians and service providers. Most operations and maintenance on the Iguana are very accessible to any traditional service provider as it is mostly classic boat maintenance and repairs.

The only difference is the mobility system which is very robust and has been stabilized for over 10 years now. Today, Fabrice trained a local technician in St Kitts & Nevis to relay the most important things to check on the landing gear. For example, changing hydraulic hoses every 2 to 3 years to ensure maximum reliability. 

 

In this picture, Fabrice is showing how to put on a track on an Iguana.

WORLDWIDE FLYING ENGINEERS

Iguana engineers can also go on the field directly to your home if you wish (with the premium service pack). It is a worldwide service in every region of the world. Before going to St Kitts & Nevis and Massachusetts, Fabrice had already gone to Kuwait, Dubai, St Martin, St Tropez, Miami, Southamptons, Albania, Antigua, Barbuda, Long Island, and Channel Islands. We give quick and efficient responses with the 7/7 hotline and remote diagnostics. But some customers also want to have a local visit from our experts especially for the annual service where we check over 100 key points on the boat.

Let us know if you like this kind of content. We can tell you more about Fabrice and the aftersales team’s journey around the world.
