Bwa

BWA is an Italian boat builder that makes rigid inflatable boats and tenders. The brand’s history traces back to the late 1950s, and its own history page says it began producing small inflatable boats with rigid fiberglass hulls in the early 1980s. BWA is based in Italy and markets ranges that include Premium, Granturismo and Professional models.

BWA’s brand history begins in the late 1950s, during the period of Italy’s postwar economic growth and the rise of early inflatable-boat companies. The company’s history page says that in the early 1980s it started building small inflatable boats with a rigid fiberglass hull, an early step toward modern RIBs. A company directory lists BWA Nautica Srl in Italy and describes the brand as a reference standard for rigid keel inflatable boats made in Italy.

BWA builds rigid inflatable boats for recreational and tender use, with ranges that include Premium, Granturismo and Professional models. The brand has also presented larger sport RIBs such as the 28 GTc and a TT series, showing a focus on performance-oriented Mediterranean-style layouts. Current market listings show BWA boats in a broad size range, and the models are commonly described as RIBs with outboard power and planing hulls. The brand is known for safety, handling and compact, efficient deck layouts.
