Zodiac Nautic is a trademark specializing in a particular type of RIB. It was also the inventor of the inflatable boat. Nowadays, the term Zodiac has become commonplace in the French language to define motorized inflatable boats.
Zodiac Nautic has reinvented boating and continues to do so, 120 years after its creation. A French manufacturer and market leader in motorized inflatable boats, Zodiac was born from the merger of Union Aéronautique de France and Société Mallet in 1896. Contrary to what one might think, the brand did not always make inflatable boats. In fact, at the beginning of its history, Zodiac Nautic had started producing airships. A few years later, the first inflatable boat prototypes emerged from the water for the French Naval Aviation. Over time, the brand has become a true expert in the field with ever more innovative and original ideas.
