With the occasion of the Grand Pavois 2013, the Choose Your Boat team discovered a little more about these famous semi-rigid ZEPPELINs. 100 percent French and customizable to preference, these boats are very trendy.
ZEPPELIN, a changing society
It has been over 30 years that ZEPPELIN manufactures these semi-rigids. In the beginning, it consisted of professional semi-rigids with quality fabrication, permitting them to withstand the most extreme usages. But with the demand of the market, the site has evolved to offer a range intending more and more to the growing market of pleasure and people who want a boat tailored to meet their needs but also their image.
Equipment, finishes, and custom colors
The brand wanted to differentiate from the black boats which usually characterize the market of the Zeppelin semi-rigid. The
contrast is able to be seen in the latest models which are on display at the Grand Pavois 2013.
On the stand, one of the boats has a float of 3 colors, made at the request of a client. The upholstery were made to match the colors of the boat, with different materials and designs a little more elaborate than the classic white, gray, and black which are typically found. The expertise in painting of ZEPPELIN is also proven here. The shiny stainless steel is a classic in the boating world and now some clients ask for it to be painted over. This requires very special paints: it consists of a powdered paint which is baked and has a better conventional rigidness than a polyurethane paint.
100 Percent French Boats
ZEPPELIN is a company of 20 people. Everything is made in France and the choice has been made to work with a material called Neoprene Hypalon used to make the floats. It is through this technique that personalized options are available and feasible.
It is not because the semi-rigid ZEPPELINs are specially designed and manufactured that they are more expensive than other models on the market.
Beyond aesthetics, these boats are also very marine like, very comfortable, and the difference is seen by taking it out on the water, so don’t hesitate to ask for a trial.
