Why boats in transit come to us

Most inflatable work in Brazil is done by repair shops. We are a manufacturer that also repairs, and that changes what is possible: when a tube is beyond patching, we do not send you shopping for a new boat — we build the tube. Trip Nautika has been making and rebuilding inflatable flotation tubes since 1998, and tubes we rebuild or manufacture carry an 18-month warranty.

We are based in Porto Belo, Santa Catarina, about 40 km from Itajai, where much of South America's refit work happens. If your yacht is hauled out there and the tender needs attention, the logistics are short. If you are further away, the tender's tubes travel on their own — the hull stays where it is.
