Iguana

We've been following Iguana Yachts for over a decade – from tenders to taxis to sprinters, all rolling to the water's edge on retractable caterpillar tracks. Now the company is looking to fly above the waves with the launch of the Iguana Foiler.

French company Iguana is taking aim at the record books with a new amphibious boat patterned after its military and emergency offerings, and designed to outsprint every other amphibian on the market with a peak output of 900 horsepower.

Iguana has built some of the most interesting amphibious boats in the world, sleek tenders with retractable treads for masterfully negotiating coastline on the way to the water. This month Iguana adds a 12-passenger Day Limo with retractable canopy.

The Iguana amphibious seven-seat taxi​ incorporates the signature retractable caterpillar tracks, at the same time as adding an adjustable retractable hardtop and shock-mitigating seats​ to complete the most civilized amphibious vehicle on the planet.

With four Amphicars heading to auction this month, the big question is how much they will fetch after one sold for US$123,400 in 2011. This article examines the marketplace for Amphicars and provides full analysis of all previous auction sales.

Iguana has released details of a smaller seven metre version of the original Iguana 29, called the Iguana 24.

The Iguana 29 is a new take on amphibious vehicles, using retractable caterpillar tracks to deliver surefooted drive across extreme terrain at up to 8 km/h while on water it is quick to plane and has 35 knot speed.
