Our Quality Philosophy

As an owner of a Targa craft, you can expect a reliable boat that offers you the best possible experience on the open sea. The craft’s powerful hull, high gunwales, extraordinary stability and sheer power ensure that driving your Targa boat is enjoyable and safe at all times.

Targa crafts perform at a consistently high level as a result of our extensive boating experience and the dedication shown by our team of highly-qualified professionals. The close relationship to dealers and end-customers is essential for continuous quality improvements.

Though the climates and conditions in which Targa boats are driven may vary, the quality of their craftsmanship is always the same.

“It has always been crucial for us to build our boats to the highest quality, right down to the smallest detail”, says Johan Carpelan, founder and managing director of Botnia Marin.

A big leap forward was taken in the beginning of 2009 when Botnia Marin received the ISO 9001:2008 certificate. A nearly flawless audit was

completed according to the newest ISO 9001 version – as far as we know the first boat yard in the world to have accomplished this.
The whole company has undergone a big change during the last 2,5 years during the work towards the certificate.

“In contrast with many other companies, our main goal has never been the certificate itself. We have been focused on getting a better flow in the production, better structure of all processes within the company and an even better control of the quality. We feel that we have succeeded in all of these goals”, says Johan Carpelan.
