FPV-15 – A Robust and High-Performance Workboat for Professional Users

The FPV-15 is a solid and high-speed workboat designed for professional users with high demands for performance, reliability, and efficiency. With an exceptionally efficient hull and low fuel consumption, regardless of propulsion system, this vessel is ideal for demanding operations in police, ambulance services, fire departments, and defense.

‍

The hull features a low planing threshold, minimal wake – especially when using interceptors or trim flaps – and is known for its precise and predictable maneuvering in challenging sea conditions. The autopilot function is also optimized for smooth and stable navigation.
