ROLL BAR Inox

A stainless steel boat roll bar: an accessory that makes all the difference in terms of functionality and onboard safety. It not only protects the steering console from impacts but also provides a base for installing other essential fishing and navigation accessories. At Nautica Basile, you'll find Oceansouth and Osculati roll bars, designed to withstand stress and the harsh marine environment.

Our roll bars are made from AISI 316 stainless steel, known for its high corrosion resistance. Available in various sizes to fit boats from 5 to 8 meters. If you need extra space for winter storage, consider our fold-down models: they fold easily without the need for tools.

A well-designed boat roll bar isn't just strong; it's also versatile. You can attach fishing rod holders, spotlights, VHF antennas, and even a sun awning. Before choosing, check the tube diameter and the width at the mounting point to ensure compatibility with your boat.
