THE EXTERIOR

Battle-Tested Durability

Like all our vessels the Rafnar Tactical range is built to handle any environment, mission and possible situation, giving operators the confidence they need to feel secure, agile, and in control. With incredible build quality adhering to the world’s highest maritime standards —such as Lloyds and SOLAS— it is also self-righting and available with optional ballistic protection.

The ÖK Hull, with its exceptional seakeeping, dynamic stability and lack of slamming, provides superior visibility at all speeds —perfect when boarding vessels— minimizes wake, and has an immense load-carrying capacity. Every aspect of the boat is designed to be durable and robust. It can take heavy damage and still stay afloat, and in case of an engine failure it can still climb over its plane threshold.

Rafnar Testimonials //

The professionals say

Our boats are our best advertisement

“…one of the most esoteric boat-driving experiences I have ever had the chance to thoroughly enjoy. No matter where I aimed the nose of this catamaran-esque RIB…whether up-swell, down-swell, or side-swell, she simply zoomed along, never lifting her nose from her element, constantly maintaining the 40-knot top end or close to it, like she’d been sent for….this thing’s like a freakin’ tiger on the water.”

Captain Bill Pike

Power & Motoryacht

“…I have sailed many different types of boats, such as Zodiak, Avon, Springer, Aron and Parker. When it comes to seakeeping, comparing those boats to Rafnar 1100 is like comparing apples to oranges.”

Sigurður Ásgrímsson

Head of Special Operations, Icelandic Coast Guard

“What Rafnar has is something unique, and something that largely fulfills its stated aims. In a world awash with hyperbole, that is quite an achievement.”

Dave Marsh

Motorboat & Yachting Magazine

“The ÖK Hull provides remarkable seakeeping and comfort compared with conventional boats, while at the same time breaking the attainable speed of a traditional displacement vessel.”

Andrew Johansson

Superyacht Magazine

“The boat treats the crew onboard extremely well. On longer trips, the crew can be well rested and ready for action full of energy when the destination and assignment is reached.”

Heimir Sigurður Haraldsson

Chairman of the Boating Team, SAR Association Kópavogur, Iceland

“…in 4-5m waves…the boat was very stable…you could easily stand on deck and not hold on… it would be impossible to make unsafe.”

Lars Giersing

VISAR Action Representative, Virgin Gorda, Virgin Islands Search and Rescue

“We are convinced…we have yet to test another boat in this class and size that compares to the [Rafnar 1100’s] seaworthiness.”

Lt. Jónas K. Þorvaldsson

Chief Diver - Special Operations and Bomb Disposal Unit, Icelandic Coast Guard

“I was blown away by how stable the boat was and how safe and comfortable I felt in it even whilst doing nearly 30 knots into the waves. I now feel that no other boat is ever going to be able to compare in terms of comfort and safety at speed!”

Claire Richardson

Director, Superyacht Tenders and Toys

“Happy would be an understatement; this boat is amazing. In a way, that is part of the problem. As Rafnar crafts do not behave like any other boats, convincing people of the benefits they deliver requires having them ride and drive the boat themselves. In terms of the enhanced security and safety that these boats deliver to customers, not only do they provide exceptional control over one’s perimeter and zone of responsibility, but by not slamming they able to deliver these benefits in absolute comfort and safety for operators, crew, and passengers”

INNOVATIVE

Innovation is in the core of our business. Every day, every hour, every second. We stay on the top of our toes, leaning forward, with the goal to constantly evolve. Our biggest innovation to date, the revolutionary ÖK Hull, has greatly disrupted the worldwide maritime industry. Tested by independent research to be capable of up to 95% 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.

TOUGH

There is a reason why Rafnar is quickly becoming the obvious choice for seasoned seafarers, as the seas rarely offer ideal conditions. 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 our boats are built this way.

CERTIFIED

Rafnar boats are built under the Lloyd’s 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.
