Interesting TROPIDA Model
The SAITA 26 by TROPIDA, developed with renowned naval architect Adam Younger, blends cutting-edge design with performance-driven engineering.
Its advanced hull features include twin bow steps, antidive system*, deep-V bow, ventilated steps, and double chine. That’s some hull!
These features deliver safety, stability, and a smooth ride even in rough seas.
The hull of this TROPIDA Saita 26 minimizes spray and speed loss.
The aerodynamic profile with a sharp hardnose bow, aft-positioned tubes, and a striking center console enhance both style and function.
The SAITA 26 is offered in Standard, Premium, and Carbon Editions.
*The antidive system is an innovation of TROPIDA on all its hulls. It prevents the bow to nail into the sea especially at rough seas. It keeps the spray away and makes the cruise safe and dry (image ©)
