ZWAARDVIS
Zwaardvis offers countless options to
make your time on the water as relaxing
as possible. How? By supplying functional
and innovative seat pedestals and table
solutions for boating that respond to
every need for guaranteed comfort.
Their products respond to the need for
seats that meet the highest standards.
They aren’t simply seats, but extremely
comfortable seating solutions that are
pleasant to sit in for many hours. They are
available in a variety of models
and colours, so there is always
one that perfectly matches the
design of any boat. . Their design
philosophy plays a central role here: subtle
integration into the interior. The main
raw material they use is recyclable
aluminium, because the team are
eager to protect the environment for
future generations.

The product range of absorption system and seat range which is the
Chameleon, Jockey and Spartan, are sold mainly in Europe and increasingly
in America. Mitigating G force for ER PRO is between 4-6G, though this
can be adjusted upwards, if necessary. Price ranges start from 2500 to
8000 euros depending on specification and bespoke design including
painting/upholstery and seat design and interestingly ER’s proprietor sees
this as adding value to a boat that is fitted with this technology. I agree.
From New Zealand, Shark Seats have a full range of seats and systems,
claiming the lightest possible suspension seats, renewable bioplastics,
making the top four in the UK’s Ministry of Defence for no adjustment
required for passenger weight between 40Kg to 120Kg and now exporting

recent successes include the tender and tourist markets.
FLEX is the core of the Shark suspension system and provides 225mm
of smooth travel. It is corrosion free, light and tough. Choice of seating
reflects the company’s ambition for reflecting the lifestyle of the owner
though fitting your own seat is also possible. It is the Luxe for office to
boat, Epic for open top boating, stylish and exposed to the rigours of
the sun, Ultra for the budget conscious and Ultra-light for those builders
in the market for tourist use.
