Stradivari 52 RIB Combines 1,800 hp With Italian Craftsmanship
The Stradivari 52 RIB is the flagship from Italian boatbuilder Cantieri Capelli, as we speak.
Measuring 15.5 metres long and 4.9 metres wide, this luxury maxi RIB combines distinctive styling with generous space and practical features.
Designed and built entirely in-house, it takes inspiration from Cremona’s tradition of violin craftsmanship.
Elegant lines, carefully selected materials and a spacious teak deck give the boat its distinctive character.
The cockpit offers comfortable seating, sunbeds, a dining area and an outdoor galley with refrigerators, an ice maker and a grill.
Below deck, this Stradivari offers two double cabins and a separate bathroom provide accommodation for extended trips.
With room for 20 people, a maximum engine power of 1,800 hp and an 1,850-litre fuel tank, the Stradivari 52 is designed for luxurious cruising without sacrificing performance or versatility.
The Editor’s View
For those who can afford it, this exceptionally luxurious Italian maxi RIB from Capelli is certainly worth considering.
It feels more like a floating apartment than a conventional RIB. Some might even say, it’s no longer a RIB, only just by name.
Competition is strong, however, with brands such as Anvera, Salpa, Technohull, Scanner and Pirelli offering impressive alternatives.
