Fantastic seating is very important for the overall experience when you are on the water. On this page, we take you through the various seating options we offer. We always implement the highest levels of quality assurance and safety requirements when designing and manufacturing our seats.
The Zero G1 Model is designed for all kinds of uses and has great impact absorption. The secret of good seat suspension is to de-accelerate the body over the greatest distance possible in a controlled manner. This means that the seat starts off soft, and the spring rises as it compresses, slowing the body down progressively and gently.
Moreover, the seat has the inherent quality of enhancing balance control when standing. This is achieved with a long and narrow cushion, that allows the user to place the feet on both sides and squeezing the legs against the seat to maintain the balance in rough sea, while always being able to sit comfortably if needed. The model is constructed from 100 % aluminum which makes it very durable, but it’s a lighter version than the G2 Model, and without a storage box. The Shock Absorber is from Fox Defense with Proprietary Kashima Coating, and is oil damped with infinitely adjustable air spring.

The Zero G2 Shock Mitigation Suspension Seat is constructed from 100% aluminum which makes it extremely robust and long-lasting, but the seat especially manifests its quality in the critical area of impact absorption. The secret of good seat suspension is to de-accelerate the body over the greatest distance possible in a controlled manner. This means that the seat starts off soft, and the spring rises as it compresses, slowing the body down progressively and gently. This gives maximum comfort in rough sea, and combined with the seat’s robustness, makes it ideal for Military, Search & Rescue, Offshore and Law Enforcement use.
The seat combines these features with a 30-liter Storage Box and full adjustability, and is constructed from Military Specification Anodized Alloy, which make the seat virtually maintenance free. The Shock Absorber is from Fox Defense with Proprietary Kashima Coating, and is oil damped with infinitely adjustable air spring

Seating aboard a Tornado RIB is an extremely important part of your custom build. Many hours at sea is rough for the body and proper seating is needed for maximum comfort, and our jockey seats provides just that. A jockey seat is a saddle shaped seat with a back rest, inspired by horseback riding and motocross. The characteristic shape of the jockey seat changed the perception of what a suspension seat in high speed boats should look like and is now the standard in many of the sea rescue units, coast guards and navies around the world.
At Tornado Boats, we have a wide selection of Jockey seats, ranging from short and broad seats to long, clean and simple seats with straps to hold on to, and a storage box for food supply, lifesaving equipment or the likes. We are a market leader in seat production, and all Jockey seats are suitable to all our boats. They are designed with the harshest environment as our test bed, and regardless of your use, you will benefit from years of tried and modified comfortable seating solutions for the RIB user.
A Transom Bench is the ultimate accessory for your fishing or sporting boat, because it is specially designed and custom fitted to your boat’s measurements to allow a perfect, harmonious fit. Our Transom Benches will allow you to carry family or friends in the outmost comfort and safety.
As with everything we make, our Transom Benches are built to withstand the rigors of the wind and water, and its backrest acts as waist cushion, and will have no problem providing comfort and balance in rough sea. Moreover, the benches also feature lockers beneath the seats, so you can keep the lunch or lifesaving equipment completely dry, or stock the prize catch of the day. Requests regarding custom design, sizes and features are more than welcome.
Learning Frames provide balance and safety when working at sea and it is an accessory as important when standing, as the seat is when sitting. The leaning frames will allow you to keep up the work rate even in very rough sea.
All our learning frames are made from 100 % marine grade stainless steel and they can be placed where ever they are needed.
