Zulu 37C: Stunning Footage of a Swedish Power RIB
The Zulu 37C is a Swedish high-performance powerboat designed for speed, precision and offshore handling.
Built by Zulu Marine, this 12.05-metre boat combines a lightweight hull with powerful Mercury Racing outboards.
Its semi wave piercing hull form designed for low impact makes for an exceptional comfortable ride in rough conditions.
Its narrow 2.70-metre beam and low-profile design make it stand out from conventional offshore powerboats.
The hull uses vacuum-infused carbon fibre or glass fibre construction to reduce weight while maintaining strength.
If you’re interested, youcan choose twin or triple Mercury Racing 400R or 500R engines.
Depending on the configuration, Zulu Marine reports top speeds ranging from 73 to an impressive 95 knots.
The Zulu 37C on the Baltic Sea offers an interesting look at a Scandinavian approach to high-speed boating.
Rather than focusing on spacious accommodation or family cruising, this Swedish powerboat puts performance, responsive handling and speed at the centre of its design.
The Editor’s View
The Swedish-built Zulu 37C, designed by the renowned naval architect Petter Martens (LinkedIn profile), takes to the seas with a clear purpose: speed and precise handling.
This Scandinavian powerboat isn’t designed around generous living spaces or relaxed family trips. Instead, it prioritises performance, sharp responses and the driving experience. I hope one day to get my hands on it.
