About Lomac

The company was established in Milan in 1960 by the Lo Manto family and is still run by the family today. Lomac describes itself as a RIB pioneer, and it was among the builders that moved inflatable boats from fabric and slatted floors to rigid fiberglass hulls.

In recent years the brand has leaned into design. The GranTurismo and Adrenalina lines were developed with the Milan designer Federico Fiorentino, bringing a more tailored, fashionable look to the RIB, and an online configurator lets owners choose deck and tube colors and upholstery.

Tender types

Lomac is a series builder rather than a custom tender yard. Its larger RIBs are used as chase boats and day boats alongside superyachts, while its smaller tenders suit yacht platforms.

Models and range

Applications for superyachts

A GranTurismo is often carried or towed as a chase boat, taking guests to beach clubs and anchorages at speed while the mother yacht repositions. Because it is a series boat, it is usually chosen for the boat itself rather than engineered to a specific garage, so fit, lifting weight and handling alongside the yacht should be confirmed carefully.

Smaller Lomac tenders suit yachts with limited platform space, where light weight and simple handling matter more than enclosed comfort.

Why owners choose Lomac

Owners choose Lomac for Italian design, a long family history in RIBs and a GranTurismo line that brings real style to the chase boat, particularly in Mediterranean waters.

Available tenders

Tenders are usually specified to order, and pre-owned examples tend to change hands quietly, often together with their mother yacht. Daniel does not hold tender inventory; on request he can approach Lomac or its representatives, and search the pre-owned market, for a tender that suits your yacht.

Work with Daniel Grant

Daniel can help owners assess whether a Lomac suits the yacht's program, compare it with custom tender options, and help locate a new or pre-owned boat through the builder's network. He is not a Lomac dealer. For owners cruising Italy and the Riviera, his Monaco page may also be useful.

A tender is often one part of a larger decision. Daniel can also help you find the right yacht, guide a new build from brief to delivery, or compare the yacht builders behind the mother yacht. To talk it through, contact Daniel directly.

Questions owners ask

Is Lomac a superyacht tender builder?

Lomac is a series builder of RIBs rather than a custom superyacht tender yard. Its GranTurismo and Adrenalina models are popular as chase boats and day boats alongside large yachts, and its smaller Tender line suits yacht platforms. For a tender built to a specific garage, a custom yard may be the better route.

Where are Lomac RIBs from?

Lomac is based in Milan, Italy. The company was founded by the Lo Manto family in 1960 and remains family-run. Its GranTurismo and Adrenalina lines were designed with Milan-based designer Federico Fiorentino, giving the range a distinctly Italian, fashion-conscious character.
