THE UNEXPECTED BOAT
A ‘skiff’ is a light rowing boat, typically for one person.
The boat is perfectly designed to deliver the ideal balance of performance and stability, allowing rowers to focus entirely on achieving the perfect stroke while feeling the boat glide effortlessly across the water.
The swallowtail-shaped opening at the aft creates a unique sensory connection with the water, offering the rower an immersive experience that fosters a profound sense of enjoyment.
Rowing a boat that leaves no trace in its wake.
Savile’s primary objective is to have a lightweight, high-performance carbon-fiber skiff that excels in both innovative design and sustainability, using notably carbon fabric offcuts to drastically reduce its ecological footprint.
The sustainability of the project goes beyond the construction of the boat itself and extends to its future use. Designed to be passed down from generation to generation, this rowing boat becomes a tangible symbol of commitment to durability, soft mobility, and environmental preservation.
Each SAVILE boat is a unique art piece.
Art elevates the everyday by offering new perspectives that enrich the human experience and foster deeper emotional and cultural connections. It provokes thought, inspires, and reflects society's values and aspirations.
That's how the UNEXPECTED BOAT PROJECT came to life.

That's how the UNEXPECTED BOAT PROJECT came to life.
We are implementing a global artistic project featuring unique editions of the boat, created in collaboration with artists for a fairer, more respectful, and more inclusive world.
Ultimately, the proceeds from the sale of each boat will support a cause.
The very first story begins with the 'Profusion' edition in collaboration with the artist Samuel Levy.
The artistic inspiration of Samuel Levy emerges from the profound relationship between the human being and their surrounding environment. It is a subtle connection that unites us with nature and our own essence.
Developed by the design enthusiast and passionate rower, Benoît Loicq, and the experienced designer, Serge Rusak, the boat is the result of years of dedication.
From the design phase to the boat construction, the intertwined expertise of people whose shared passion and commitment to excellence brought this high-end crafted skiff to reality.
