Skipper Power Boats Reach 60 Knots at Supermarine's First Open House

Supermarine, the exclusive representative of Skipper Powerboats for Italy, Spain, and Switzerland and official Saxdor dealer for Italy and Monaco, has successfully concluded its first ever open house event.

The goal of the three-day event at the Marina of Varazze was to formalize the recent partnership with Skipper Powerboats with adrenaline-pumping sea trials aboard two exemplary models made by the Greek brand.

Supermarine, in its new role as the official distributor for the renowned Greek brand Skipper Powerboats in Italy, Spain, and Switzerland organized a three-day event from the 11th to the 13th of October for the press, enthusiasts, and public at the Marina of Varazze. On this occasion, the company reaffirmed its pride in the recent partnership with Skipper Powerboats, a Greek brand specializing in high-end sports RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats). The new additions will extend Supermarine’s range, which already includes the Finnish brand, Saxdor Yachts, according to an exclusive dealership agreement covering Italy and the Principality of Monaco.

“We identified certain models made by Skipper that are unique on the nautical landscape. Skipper originates from the BSK shipyard, which stands for BENCHMARK SUPERIORITY KNOWLEDGE: these are high-performance watercraft, designed detail by detail to achieve exceptional performance on the water as the only RIBs in the world with a four-step hull,” explains Riccardo Cavarzan, Supermarine’s CEO. “Our strategy is to curate a selective network of dealers for Spain, Italy, and Switzerland, and events like these are valuable opportunities for visibility and to establish contact with operators, dealers, and enthusiasts from various regions.”

In 2024, the first year Supermarine brought the Saxdor brand to the market, more than 30 boats were sold and delivered. The uniqueness and eccentricity of the Saxdor brand in the market is to thank for much of the success, and Supermarine has chosen to represent Skipper with similar expectations.

At the Varazze event, two of the three models that currently make up the Skipper BSK range were presented: the Skipper BSK 34 NC, powered by a pair of Mercury 300R engines, and the Skipper BSK 42 NC, equipped with two Volvo Penta 440 hp diesel stern drives. Each exhibit proved its excellent performance, with top speeds around 60 knots and wave handling exceeding their classes.
