What Happened to the OPERA 60?
Built by the Italian yard Cantieri Opera, the Opera 60 was produced in a limited series between 2008 and 2010.
Only 38 examples were completed, including two high-power demonstrator models.
Production has long since ended, leaving the brokerage market as the only source for buyers.
Many surviving boats have spent years in commercial tourism or luxury charter service and have undergone extensive refits, according to published reports.
This video was published on the STAM MIHELL YuTube channel but I don’t know for how long.
Since the Opera RIB models are so rare, I haven’t published many videos but these ones I did.
Proud to share that ORCA Retail and ORCA Pennel & Flipo are good Friends of RIBs ONLY.
