History
Roy Nouhra founded ASIS boats in 2005. He had been serving as Co-CEO of his family business Solico UAE. He founded the company using the already existing network of customers and suppliers. The company sold its first boat in 2006 and was established as an independent company.
In 2014, Asis was given the licence to assemble the Sealegs Amphibious System on their boats, making them the first manufacturer outside New Zealand and Australia to use the Sealegs technology. The company presented its first amphibious inboard RIB at the Dubai International Boat Show. The next year the company launched its first outboard amphibious boat at the Dubai International Boat Show.
Initially the company manufactured boats for leisure and recreational segments, and later began producing boats for commercial and military purposes as well. As of 2016, Asis has reduced its leisure market to 10%, with greater focus on the professional and military segment.
