Aquaspirit S450: The Compact RIB That Surprises
The Aquaspirit S450 is a compact aluminum RIB that combines rugged construction with surprising space and comfort.
Measuring 4.42 metres long and 2.14 metres wide, it accommodates six people. Its double-walled, hand-welded aluminum hull uses 4 mm marine-grade material, reflecting Aqua Spirit’s experience building RIBs for Ukraine’s armed forces.
Despite its solid construction, the S450 weighs just 212 kg. Its V-shaped hull and raised bow deliver agile handling, even in rough conditions.
A spacious cockpit, comfortable seating, and practical bow step make life on board easy. Maximum engine power is 75 hp, although a 60 hp outboard can reach approximately 40 knots.
Options include Hypalon tubes, a ski tow bar, sun deck, bimini top, and sound system.
