Traditionally, fiber (GRP) has dominated the recreational boating market. However, a change of paradigm is underway. At Maro Boats<\/b>, we have opted for marine aluminum<\/b> for our RIB hulls, following the trail of professional rescue, military, and high-latitude exploration vessels. Why? Because the advantages are objective and overwhelming.<\/p>\n1. Structural Strength: Virtually Indestructible<\/h3>\n
Fiber is rigid, but fragile against impacts. Aluminum is ductile<\/b>: it absorbs energy. In a rocky area or during a collision at the dock:<\/p>\n Fiber:<\/b> Can crack or star, causing osmosis or structural damage that is expensive to repair.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Aluminum:<\/b> Might suffer a dent, but it won’t break. You can continue sailing safely and fix it easily without compromising the boat’s integrity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n An aluminum hull is up to 30% lighter<\/b> than a fiberglass one of the same size. This has three immediate consequences:<\/p>\n Less consumption:<\/b> You need less power and less fuel to achieve the same speed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Better performance:<\/b> The boat planes faster and handles with much greater agility.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ease of transport:<\/b> You can tow your Maro with a conventional vehicle and launch it from any ramp effortlessly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Osmosis (the “cancer” of fiber) does not exist in aluminum. Our hulls are made of marine-grade 5083 alloy<\/b>, specially designed for saline environments. Forget about annual hull treatments and enjoy a boat that remains intact decade after decade.<\/p>\n In a world seeking cleaner alternatives, aluminum is the winner. While a fiberglass boat is very difficult to recycle and often ends up buried, aluminum is 100% recyclable<\/b> without losing its properties. By choosing a Maro, you are choosing a circular and responsible boat.<\/p>\n Unlike fiber, which depends on rigid molds, aluminum allows us more flexibility in the configuration of interior components, reinforcements, and layouts, ensuring that each Maro is a masterpiece of nautical engineering.<\/p>\n Choosing aluminum is choosing longevity, safety, and savings<\/b>. It’s the material for those who truly understand the sea and want a boat that follows them on any adventure, no matter how demanding it may be.<\/p>\n Want to see the finish of our hulls up close?<\/b> Visit us and discover why a Maro aluminum hull and a Yamaha<\/b> engine is, technically, the best nautical configuration money can buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why aluminum is the material of the future in boating Traditionally, fiber (GRP) has dominated the recreational boating market.
