Go Beyond Efficiency and Style
Led by a certified naval architect specializing in composite materials, Balder Yachts is at the forefront of redefining maritime engineering.
Assisted by another naval architect, the team’s focus has been on a stepped hull design, aiming to achieve an optimal balance between lift and drag for enhanced speed and efficiency.
A design specialist contributes to the project by integrating aesthetic and functional elements, while an expert in high-speed boating leverages their extensive experience to fine-tune the undertaking.
Ultramarin, the cornerstone of Balder, has been a pivotal player in composite technologies since 1962.
The stepped hull design of Balder Yachts offers increased seaworthiness, enhanced visibility, and reduced friction at high speeds.
