The black is Black and really… Hot and Elegant! Its combination also with teak and brown upholstery reflects a magnificent and unique luxury that impresses and captivates between the deep blue of the sea and the azure sky.
Having been many times behind the console of almost all Italboats yard models, I confess that the Italian shipyard continues to pleasantly surprise me with both the quality of construction and finishing and the quality of navigation it offers to the most demanding marine public.
With several decades of experience, the people of Italboats are constantly improving all their models and using the best materials of the market aim to produce premium inflatable boats by upgrading the quality and level of our sea escapes.
