Headquarters:
Motta Visconti
Founded:

Boat types:
Inflatable boats and RIBs

Founded in 1979, the Formenti boatyard has a long tradition and meticulous craftsmanship in manufacturing inflatable rubber boats. Today the ZAR range of boats by Formenti is sold in all major European markets. Developed and improved over the years, the company’s quality system was awarded ISO 9002 certification by the Italian Mercantile Registry.

The company growth and the success of its product are the result of a precise strategy focused on quality rather than quantity, investments in R&D, the use of the best materials, advanced technology and a modern, well-organized production facility. All workplaces are air-conditioned.

The latest IT technologies, as well as a full range of prototypes, molds, full-size and scale models, are manufactured on CNC (computer numerical control) machines, which guarantees the highest precision. Future is already there at ZAR-FORMENTI thanks to the research and development of cutting edge, nvironmental-friendly materials and production practices.

It is a tough but stimulating challenge, requiring creativity and flair. We don’t just design the inflatable boat. We also design the most versatile ways it can be used and how it is made. It is another question of balance: just enough technology, the right sort of craftsmanship, flair but also discipline.

The Zar range is the result of this approach to design. Although their style is unmistakable (family life), each model was designed separately, with a different blending of elements that are not always easy to bring together. Zar is a reliable, versatile range, easy to use at sea, extremely comfortable and built to the highest standards.

At the helm you will experience the pleasure of controlling a vessel of unrivalled sophistication.
