Faster

Hand-welded aluminium boats, stronger than you’re used to.

Juha Snell built the first Faster in 1978. The boats were originally developed for demanding professional use and are still used by the police, the fire service, rescue services and the Finnish armed forces. More than 1,200 Faster workboats have now been built.

Every Faster is hand-welded in Kellokoski, Finland, from solid, untreated marine-grade aluminium, with thicker side walls than many other aluminium boats. Juha Snell Oy builds both working and recreational boats. The recreational models are sold by Oy Brandt Ab, part of the Otto Brandt Group.
