Project
AMX 28 WOODLINE is a bold project, born from the cooperation of three historic factories: Airon Marine, Riva 1920 and Volvo Penta. The challenge was to create an innovative boat, both technologically advanced and exclusive, dedicated to a sophisticated customer, who does not compromise. Expertise, experience and tradition merged in an unique, elegant and functional product.
Style
The unique design of AMX 28 WOOODLINE represents the perfect equilibrium among tradition, sportiness and innovation, where classic smooth lines of a living manufacture meet modern and exquisite lines of deck and interiors. A certain old-fashioned appearance carried by the small deckhouse, the truncated enveloping windscreen and the ‘wood style’ recall the classic mahogany boats of the Molinari’s past. Nonetheless, light spots on sides and cut of platform and bow give the boat a modern and strong design.
Innovation
Three main features make AMX 28 WOODLINE unique and beyond the currently available market offer: 1. synthetic wood sides with handmade finishes 2. new Volvo Penta Forward Drive engine 3. furniture by Riva 1920 in thousand-year old kauri
Volvo Penta Forwarddrive
After launching in Palma de Mallorca the first IPS system in 2005 with an Airon 425, Volvo Penta and Airon Marine consolidate and promote their collaboration by introducing for the first time in Europe the new Forwardrive transmission system. AMX 28 WOODLINE couples such transmission, originally designed for water sports boats in the US market only, to a cutting-edge hull, created by a two-year teamwork of Swedish developers in Gotheborg and Italian developers at Airon Marine, supported by sophisticated 3D modeling software. The outcome has been amazing as for both performance and comfort on board.

Furniture by Riva 1920
Riva 1920 is the symbol of a never-ending dialogue between beauty and ethics, it is the story of a factory with deep origins and great craftsmanship, that couples innovation and design with respect for both the environment and the best Italian tradition. Thanks to a cooperation with famous architects and artists, it creates excellent furniture, where wood plays the key role. A peculiar feature is the use of wood from the American reforestation as well as wood of reuse, such as the thousand-year old kauri from New Zealand, the Venetian Briccole and the scented cedar tree from Lebanon.
