Our Boat
Neil Marine Yachting designed this particular model boat. It is the largest manufacturer of bespoke boats in South Asia. They design and deliver high-end bespoke vessels. They always adhere to international norms and criteria while employing cutting-edge technology and high-quality materials.
Our boat is 5.6 meters long and 3 meters broad. A total of 12 individuals can be moved at the same time. simple to use Depending on the type of production, the beauty of the sea can be easily appreciated. The hull of this boat is made of fiberglass. Fiberglass technology is one of the most popular and well-known technologies in the world. To put it another way, lightweight design. Fiberglass boats are often lighter than wood or other materials. Fiberglass boats are more stable and have superior seakeeping qualities than aluminum boats since they weigh more on average. Fiberglass boats drift more slowly and steadily because they are heavier and less vulnerable to wind buffeting. Even when sailing through high waves and inclement weather, a fiberglass boat provides a solid and silent working environment on the water. When water strikes the bottom or sides of a boat, it does not generate a loud "lapping" noise like an aluminum or wooden boat. This prevents you from yelling at someone on the opposite side of the boat while enjoying your favorite water sport with your friends and family. As a result, there is no need to be concerned about security.
