The Beautiful MAR.CO E-MOTION 36 RIB

Since 1974 MAR.CO is an Italian boat manufacturer based in Muggiò, near Milan. It all started in a garage by Mario Zamuner, founder of the company.

In this short video the company showcases their 10.70 m long Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). It was shot in Murter, Croatia.

The footage speaks for itself.

This video was published on the mar.co marine costruzioni YouTube channel.

For your interest I’ve published more well-selected videos of this brand. Some of them provide a detailed walkaround with specs.

Walkaround of the BSC 78 Elegance

The Italian built BSC 78 is a model in their Tourism series.

In this video, they feature it in the Elegance trim, which includes special touches like a leather steering wheel and plush, quilted cushions.

The rear seating area is designed in an asymmetrical U-shape, with the right side extending fully into the space, unlike the left. This section is additionally cushioned to ensure passenger comfort and safety, even at higher speeds.

The helm console is positioned completely to the right, allowing for a wide passageway from the rear to the front of the boat. The tall, wraparound windshield offers excellent protection for the driver and co-pilot.

Raising the back of the driver’s seat reveals a kitchenette equipped with a countertop and sink. A pull-out refrigerator is conveniently located under the helm station.

Great Combo: the Highfield EJET330 with Zer0Jet

This marketing video showcases the EJET330, Highfield’s electric jet tender, created in partnership with Zer0Jet.

For its size the luxurious, compact tender boasts the world’s highest performance propulsion system for small boats.

Equipped with a powerful 48v 18kw drivetrain, it reaches speeds of up to 20 knots and offers a comfortable range.

Of course, it’s a tender and not a rigid inflatable boat designed for open sea adventures.

Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

The Intriguing Enigma Powerboat

Do you know that persistent itchy feeling that won’t go away?

That’s how I felt when I first saw the renderings, images, and later the videos, of this British-built RIB Enigma powerboat.

I was completely overwhelmed. I’ve seen many RIBs in the past and have been impressed by several brands known for their excellent engineering.

The RIB looks slick, fast, and capable. The flagship model at this moment is the Enigma 38 Open Leisure. It’s a CAT B Offshore.

The hull design with a triple ventilated step was created by naval architect Adam Younger and Petter Martens of Beserk Designs also joined the team for delivering a great looking and functional RIB design.

Both are members of the RIBs ONLY community.

How I would love to get my hands on this powerboat.

Now, I finally have a compelling reason to renew my passport (since the UK is no longer in the EU).

It’s a stunning example of pure British craftsmanship, for which I have the utmost respect.

This is not the first post of this brand. You can find more about it here amongst others the specs!
