WHY CHOOSE TROPIDA – Tropidaribs

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

TROPIDA: Pioneering Boat Design and Construction

Original Designs and Craftsmanship
At TROPIDA, we specialize in creating unique boat models that stem from innovative designs. Our meticulous process begins with in-depth research, culminating in the production of high-quality plugs and molds. We utilize advanced materials, including epoxy and vinyl ester resins, alongside specially formulated gel coats that are built to endure the challenges of marine environments. By incorporating carbon fibers, we enhance the durability and longevity of our boats, ensuring they stand the test of time.

Innovative Hull Technology
Our boats are engineered with cutting-edge hull designs featuring a deep V bow, ventilated step technology, double chine, and convex sections. This combination allows TROPIDA hulls to navigate choppy seas with ease, providing exceptional stability and a dry, comfortable experience for passengers, regardless of weather conditions.

Safety Features
Safety is paramount at TROPIDA. Our innovative Bow Steps and Antidive System are designed to prevent the bow from submerging, ensuring both passenger safety and a consistently dry deck. These features enhance overall stability and confidence while on the water.

Material Advantages
We take pride in our decision to eliminate wood and plywood from our construction process, including crucial components like transoms and stringers. This choice results in boats that are not only lighter and more durable but also significantly safer. Additionally, our fuel tanks, constructed entirely from vinyl ester, are resistant to oxidation, further extending their lifespan.

Collaborative Innovations
In collaboration with K4+ and renowned designer Adam Younger, TROPIDA is committed to developing hull designs that emphasize cruising safety, fuel efficiency, performance, and comfort. Our upcoming MEGARIB model will be a testament to this dedication, integrating the latest innovations in boat design.

With TROPIDA, you can expect a seamless blend of advanced engineering and innovative design, delivering an unparalleled boating experience. Explore the future of marine craftsmanship with us!
