Madera

Madera is renowned for constructing durable, high-performing vessels. Their craft are agile and robust enough to handle the toughest offshore conditions, and they proudly tout them as “virtually indestructible”.

This newest range of sea vessels truly epitomizes the idea of ‘bringing all the best aspects of offshore military grade technology to the recreational boating industry’.

To make the models lightweight, strong and durable, each BG vessel is made from quality aluminum with foam tubes. Unlike inflatable tubes, foam ones don’t change in size due to temperature differences. This makes them easier to work on and repair if needed.
