Aluqa designing and building lightweight, premium aluminium boats

Aluqa, a Dutch shipyard, is reportedly designing and building lightweight, premium aluminium boats for a highly exclusive segment. Their design comes from Dutch design and they implement the latest high-tech.

With a rock-solid experience in the nautical industry for about a decade, the team of Aluqa shipyard noticed that anchors and the overall functionality of the boats are old-fashioned. The Aluqa team’s background in metal and aluminium works led them to design a new way with systems including a folding process to store the anchor in a totally different way.

The anchor system of Aluqa is foldable and hidden while it is not needed. The hatch that closes off the anchor compartment makes the anchor and its foldable system invisible. This is one of the hidden gems that set the Aluqa apart.

During the Formula 1 in Monaco, the new Toys & Tenders 2018 issue was published, where Aluqa chose to highlight Abalone 48 which is an open or walkaround version of the Aluqa exclusive boats and specifically designed to be of service around the Balearic Islands.
