Drive Options – Choice without Compromise

drive options NAIAD of NewportBy "fine tuning" hull shapes for their intended use, Naiad is able to offer whatever drive option is best for the customer application without compromises:

  • Outboard
  • Jet Unit
  • Surface Drive
  • Sterndrive
  • Shaft and Prop

The growth of 4-stroke outboards has seen these used in commercial applications of up to 12 meters, and coupled with Naiad’s stepped hull technology, deliver sparkling performance. Jet drives have been particularly popular of late for use in military applications and superyacht tenders. Construction is underway of the first 11.3m twin-diesel jet for Kaikoura Coastguard in New Zealand—this boat will be fitted with the latest Hamilton Jet Blue Arrow system.
