“ 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 .
