Special Edition / Aka Marine: Proven RIBs designed for professional use

The Aka Marine brand, part of the Z Nautic group, benefits from Zodiac's experience to offer boats designed for the needs of professionals. From the SNSM (French national lifeboat service) to port agents and sailing schools, the manufacturer offers robust, seaworthy RIBs.

A brand of boats dedicated to professional use

Less well known than its Zodiac or Bombard counterparts, Aka Marine, the 3rd brand in the ZNautic group, is dedicated exclusively to marine professionals. The semi-rigid specialist's teams have drawn on Zodiac's know-how and tried-and-tested motorboat hulls to offer a wide range of customers who use the sea on a daily basis products adapted to their needs.

By adapting hulls and equipment to specific needs, Aka Marine offers 4 ranges of boats: 2 semi-rigid and 2 fully inflatable. There are boats for harbor use, for rescue, like the one designed for the SNSM, for sailing schools, for the Navy, or for NUC passenger transport. Depending on the navigation zone, you'll find enclosed or semi-enclosed cabins.

The 100% French construction of aluminum-hulled units is a guarantee of quality.

Must-haves for a heavy-duty boat

Our range of technical boats includes the R57. This 5.7-meter-long RIB is simply and efficiently equipped to meet a wide range of needs. In a port environment, it can be used by agents on their missions. The console and single seat provide a simple, efficient cockpit for maneuvering and guiding a visiting yachtsman to his berth, while a bitton at the bow is useful for towing. The quality and reinforcement of the tubes guarantee their longevity, despite rubbing and repeated pushing or torquing.

The support of an experienced network

Aka Marine customers benefit from the brand's experience in demanding projects. In partnership with Couach, it won the contract for the SNSM's under-9-meter boats, an 8.70-meter aluminum-hulled RIB specifically developed for lifeguards at sea. The model has since won over Asian coastguards as well as the Affaires Maritimes de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

During the life of their boats, owners can also count on Zodiac's extensive and experienced dealer network, thanks to the company's long history, particularly in France and Europe.
