WHY RAFNAR LEISURE IS THE CHOICE?

Embracing all inherent features of the established Rafnar search-and-rescue, coast-guard and naval capabilities, Rafnar Leisure was created as the ideal vessel for the recreational market. These vessels were originally designed for the worlds most demanding conditions, making them perfect for cruising in more hospitable waters.

The ÖK Hull was designed and invented by renowned Icelandic inventor Össur Kristinsson; This patented hull-and-keel design results in a drastic reduction in slamming, bouncing, and its essential shock-mitigating qualities, providing the perfect platform for comfort and luxury.

Rafnar’s leisure line-up is not only built on an industry leading hull but boasts a beautiful industrial design to match.

INNOVATION

Innovation is in the core of Rafnarnar. Our biggest innovation to date, the revolutionary ÖK Hull, has greatly disrupted the worldwide maritime industry being put to test in the toughest conditions by military and government outlets across the world.

When tested by independent researchers it proved to be capable of up to 90% fewer slamming impacts than competing Deep-V Hulls; the ÖK Hull ensures an otherwise unattainable seakeeping standard for vessels in the most extreme marine environments.

The concave aft section creates a vacuum effect keeping the the boat low in the water, while the front keel cuts through the water. 

TOUGH

There is a reason why Rafnar is quickly becoming the obvious choice for seasoned seafarers across Europe.

Originally designed to meet the demands of Iceland's long, dark and unpredictable winters, with ÖK Hull as key to its success, every aspect of the boat is designed to be rugged and prepared for any condition. Used by Coast Guards, SAR teams and Special Forces around the world, we have a pedigree of toughness that is hard to match.

HIGH-QUALITY

Rafnar only uses the world's best marine-grade materials. When done right, GRP is stronger than steel, surprisingly light, does not corrode, and requires very little maintenance. The resin, finishes off the sandwiching process of multiple layers of glass fiber, enclosing a closed-cell core in the middle that apart from looking good, gives numerous advantages over competing build processes. We never compromise on quality. This is why Rafnar boats are built this way.

CERTIFIED

Rafnar boats are built under the Lloyds Register Certification, assuring owners and operators of its high safety standards, exceptional seaworthiness and build quality, and adhere to the precise, patented scaling adaptation of the ÖK Hull technology. In line with strict standards and exquisite workmanship, we rely upon the application of the very latest in composite manufacturing technology and materials in all our production facilities.
