WHY CHOOSE TROPIDA

TROPIDA'S HISTORY

       

TROPIDA: A Vision for Unique R.I.B.s

Driven by a vision to create one-of-a-kind R.I.B.s and backed by extensive knowledge in naval architecture, Takis Samartzis founded TROPIDA after achieving four championship titles in open sea races in Greece. The name “TROPIDA” is rooted in ancient Greek, referring to the keel of a boat, symbolizing stability and strength.

Innovative Collaborations

In collaboration with renowned hull designer Adam Younger, TROPIDA has enhanced the convex hull design by integrating features like dual vented steps, a double chine effect, and a hardnose at the bow. The introduction of the TWIN BOW STEPS and Antidive System further exemplifies our commitment to innovation, ensuring safety and performance in various sea conditions.

Award-Winning Design

Our dedication to excellence is reflected in the recognition received at the IRON A’ DESIGN AWARD AND COMPETITION 2019, where the exceptional COSMIC39 R.I.B. won accolades for its innovative design. This award from the International Design Academy in Como, Italy, underscores our commitment to marrying aesthetics with functionality.

TROPIDA’s Philosophy

At TROPIDA, our philosophy revolves around creating extraordinary R.I.B.s that blend sportiness with unique design. We emphasize handcrafted quality, luxurious finishes, and user-friendly features, all while delivering top-notch performance. Our boats are not just vessels; they are a statement of innovation and craftsmanship on the water.

PERFORMANCES

With highly studied hydrodynamics, the hulls manage to have very little resistance thanks to their ventilated steps, and their special shape with convex areas that give them very high performance (over 70 knots) and with excellent economy, while at the same time they can move very comfortable at low speeds when the weather demands it.

ORIGINAL DESIGNS & BOAT CONSTRUCTION

Original Designs and Boat Construction

TROPIDA specializes in crafting unique boat models based on original designs. Our process begins with extensive research, leading to the creation of high-quality plugs and molds. We use advanced materials like epoxy and vinyl ester resins, along with gel coats designed to withstand the rigors of marine environments. Our incorporation of carbon fibers not only enhances durability but also extends the lifespan of our boats.

Innovative Hull Technology

Our boats feature a deep V bow, ventilated step technology, double chine, and convex sections, allowing TROPIDA hulls to glide smoothly through choppy seas. This design ensures stability, keeping the vessel on course and ensuring a dry experience for both the deck and passengers in any condition.

Safety Features

TROPIDA has introduced the Bow Steps and Antidive System, innovative safety features that prevent the bow from “nailing” into the water, enhancing passenger safety and maintaining a dry deck at all times.

Material Advantages

We eliminate the use of wood or plywood in our construction—this includes components like transoms and stringers—resulting in boats that are lighter, more durable, and safer. Additionally, our fuel tanks are made entirely from vinyl ester, preventing oxidation and enhancing longevity.

Collaborative Innovations

In partnership with K4+ and Adam Younger, TROPIDA is dedicated to developing hull designs that prioritize cruising safety, fuel efficiency, performance, and comfort. We are currently working on a new MEGARIB model that will integrate all of this expertise and innovation.

With TROPIDA, you can trust in a blend of cutting-edge design and superior engineering for an exceptional boating experience.
