What is your specialisation in the nautical sector?
Opacmare has been operating in the market of yacht components and accessories since 1995. Thanks to our patented ideas, cutting-edge marine technology, and innovative yacht product designs, we inspire the entire nautical world.
What is the function of the products you offer?
Our company’s product range is diverse, and at METS 2024, we will showcase four groundbreaking yacht innovations. For example, the Evo Step Electric E5292, a fully automated ladder system, makes it easier to access the water from tenders or boats.
The S.A.F.E. 5370 platform serves as both a safety mechanism and a beach platform, especially for boats with outboard motors. This innovative system also helps prevent accidental contact with propellers. The Diamond Crane family is designed specifically for marine environments and can be installed on any type of boat. Lastly, the 2332C semi-automatic pantograph doors provide a sleek, lightweight solution for yacht access.
Do your solutions feature any technological innovations?
Innovation drives all of our solutions. For instance, the Evo Step Electric E5292 incorporates redesigned movement mechanisms and is 33% lighter. The S.A.F.E. 5370 platform weighs 40% less than previous versions, and its smaller mounting plate ensures it can be used on various types of boats. Our pantograph doors—the 2332C model—offer a future-proof design with safety features and simplified assembly.
In what ways can your product be defined as sustainable?
All of our yacht components integrate sustainable marine solutions. The Evo Step Electric E5292 uses electric actuators, eliminating the risk of oil spills, while its lighter weight reduces fuel consumption. Additionally, our systems, including the S.A.F.E. 5370, can utilize biohydraulic oil like Green Oil, a non-toxic, biodegradable lubricant that dissolves in the sea within weeks in case of spills.
Do these products have features that make them easier to use or install?
Absolutely. The Diamond Crane allows for variable lifting angles, a swivel hook, and 359-degree rotation for seamless operation. Similarly, the 2332C pantograph doors are 15% lighter while maintaining their size and functionality, improving both aesthetics and yacht automation.
Do they have a unique design?
Yes, our custom yacht components boast unique designs tailored within our technical department to the specific aesthetic of each vessel. This attention to detail ensures that our products not only perform excellently but also enhance the yacht’s visual appeal.
What is the price/performance ratio of the products?
Our 2332C pantograph door is now offered at a price 40% lower than previous models, while the Evo Step Electric E5292 and S.A.F.E. 5370 platform are priced 30% lower, delivering exceptional value to the international yacht market.
