Advantages of a metal hull
Strength
Steel and aluminum are much stronger and more rigid than composite materials, making them better suited for withstanding the challenges of the sea.
Durability
Steel and aluminum are highly durable materials that can last for decades and this make them a great choice for boats that will be used in harsh marine environments.
Repairability
In the event that a steel or aluminum yacht hull is damaged, repairs can often be made with simple welding or patching techniques.
Environmental friendliness
Steel and aluminum hulls are fully recyclable at the end of their product lifecycle. Building in metal results in much less waste, and what is left over can be reused in other applications.
