Wimbi boats Six craft
Wimbi means wave. Six craft, born whole.
Two motor boats from one mould, a utility boat, a canoe and two kayaks. Each hull is rotomoulded in one piece in Naivasha: a single seamless hull that will never rot, rust or soak up water.

Inside the hull
Two shells. One hull.
A Sessy hull is a two-layer structure: a load-bearing outer shell with a foam layer inside. Both are moulded together, so there is no seam to open and nothing to rust.
- 1 Outer shell: polyethylene, load-bearing.
- 2 Foam layer between the shells, for stiffness, impact resistance and buoyancy.
- 3 Inner shell, with a double-wall gunwale.
- 4 Three kiss-offs join the inner and outer shells, like built-in girders along the length.
- 5 Two lateral keels add buoyancy and stiffness.
1.7 tonnes
Loaded and inspected in Kenya.
Engineers from iYacht of Hamburg inspected and operated early production Wimbi boats in Kenya over two days. A load of about 1.7 tonnes at the centre of the 7 m hull left no visible deformation in the bottom.
- 5-year warranty on every Wimbi boat.
- No repainting. Polyethylene can be repaired by plastic welding.
- In stock, delivered within one week of payment.
On the water
Filmed on the lake, not in a studio.

Papers that travel with the boat
What is on file, boat by boat.
We keep these assessments, statements and reports on file and send you the set for the boat you choose. Ask our team.
- All Wimbi boats
Kewat’s sales terms for boats state: KEBS, NEMA and KMA approved.
- Wimbi 30
Assessed by iYacht GmbH of Hamburg to ISO 12217-1, stability and buoyancy: up to 10 people on sheltered waters (design category D) and 6 on open water (category C).
- Wimbi 24
Assessed by iYacht GmbH of Hamburg to ISO 12217-1, stability and buoyancy: 5 people, in design categories C and D.
- Wimbi 30 and Wimbi 24
In the flotation test of that assessment, each boat stayed afloat and level after being swamped. iYacht also issued a technical statement on their structural strength, after inspection and load testing in Kenya.
- Hydra 450
Loaded to its maximum payload of 550 kg in Kenya, with no damage or deformation reported. Swiss Lloyd accepted that test and a visual assessment as the method for showing its structural strength.
