Built on over 30 years of engineering experience, Twisted Marine is unparalleled in its precision, luxury and passion in the marine industry. Each craft is a testament to our engineering prowess and attention to detail, designed to meet the demands of any adventure. From the Twisted Scorpion, with its three exceptional hull design options, offering phenomenal stability and safety at high speeds, to our Axopar range, every Twisted vessel is built to perform.
With over 20 years of success in the automotive industry, Charles Fawcett, the founder of Twisted Automotive, and MD Jake Cronk, a former Mercedes F1 engineer, catapulted Twisted’s journey into the marine industry in 2020 with the launch of Twisted Marine. Now seeing unprecedented success in the marine world, both in the UK and internationally, customers from all over the world come to Twisted for a prestige service like no other.
“It was a natural progression to take what we know about Land Rover Defender craftsmanship, design, engineering, attention to detail and apply it to another exceptional, custom-built vehicle that’s created for adventure,” said Charles Fawcett, Twisted Automotive founder.
From brokerage to new boat sales, servicing to storage, launch and recovery to transport, Twisted Marine has grown to offer a full- service hub for all marine requirements. With the recent acquisition of Scorpion, the brand continues to excel, and is currently the only OEM in the UK with a central production and service centre.
COMMISSIONS
Exclusive to a limited number of builds annually, Twisted Commissions let customers take charge and bring to life the boat of their dreams. These vessels are the ultimate expression of the individuality of the owner – over thousands of hours, every single detail of a Twisted boat is meticulously crafted, designed to be a true testament to the limits of how far an idea can take you.
ACQUIRING SCORPION RIBS
Earlier this year, Twisted announced the acquisition of Scorpion RIBs, a leading manufacturer of high-performance rigid inflatable boats (RIBs). The acquisition not only ensures the preservation of a beloved brand but also heralds an exciting new chapter which will see the company produce new Twisted Scorpion RIBs for the first time.
Scorpion RIBs, established in 1996, has built a formidable reputation for designing and manufacturing some of the most advanced and reliable RIBs available. Holding more endurance and race records than any other boat manufacturer, Scorpion faced an uncertain future after going into administration in early 2024. Twisted’s acquisition ensures that the legacy of Scorpion RIBs will continue, much to the excitement and relief of its loyal customer base and RIB enthusiasts worldwide.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Scorpion RIBs into the Twisted family,” said Charles Fawcett, “Scorpion RIBs is a brand synonymous with quality, innovation, and performance, values that align perfectly with our own. By preserving and revitalising Scorpion RIBs, we are not only saving a great brand but also opening new avenues for growth and creativity.”
The acquisition will see Twisted leverage its engineering expertise and resources to enhance Scorpion RIBs’ production capabilities and product development This partnership marks the start of a new chapter; the Twisted Scorpion has three exceptional hull design options which offer phenomenal seakeeping capabilities, high cruising speeds and safety as standard. The largest hull is 10.8m with a twin-stepped, 3.25m wide beam. Plus, there is the Serkat range, an ideal tender starting from 7.5m with inboard, jet propulsion and beach-lander variants available.
