Who We Are

Tornado Boats is a specialist manufacturer of professional rigid inflatable boats, inspired by real-world experience at sea and guided by engineering rather than fashion.

From the beginning, Tornado has focused on one clear objective: to build boats that work reliably in demanding conditions, day after day, for those who depend on them professionally.

Engineering-Driven Design

Every Tornado boat is developed with a clear purpose. Hull geometry, structure, materials and systems are chosen to deliver performance, durability and predictable behaviour in challenging marine environments.

This philosophy has made Tornado boats a trusted platform for commercial operators, rescue services, diving support teams and professional transport worldwide.

Form follows function — reliability always comes first.

Tornado Today

Today, Tornado Boats is based in Portugal, where all models are designed and built with full control over construction, materials and quality.

The company is led by founder David Haygreen together with his long-time partner Hugo Alves, who oversees technical development, production and operations.

The current Tornado range covers professional RIBs from 5 to 12 metres, serving commercial, rescue, patrol, diving and offshore roles across international markets.

Built to Perform

Tornado Boats is not about mass production or short-term trends.

It is about honest engineering, purposeful design and building professional boats trusted by those who operate in real conditions at sea.
