“The only boat builder in Africa that builds with Swiss precision.”
“We have used GDI for all our boat repairs and maintenance since getting into the boat business 8 years ago. They are clearly the leaders in the work they do and are a very reliable and professional company. We would not hesitate to recommend GDI to anyone getting into boating whether they requiring a brand new build or repairs and maintenance on a boat they already own.”

GDI has built most of the luxury boats in Kariba.
GDI is renowned for having built the African Queen in Namibia and it is set to increase its presence in this country in line with President Mnangagwa’s famous mantra, “Zimbabwe is open for business.”
