Founded in 1937, Bombard has a long history of manufacturing semi-rigid boats. The company was founded by Alain Bombard, a French doctor and adventurer well known for his sea voyages. The brand has always been synonymous with innovation and exploration, inspired by the pioneering spirit of its founder.
