A Detailed Walkthrough of the Maxline 38 Family RIB
The Maxline 38 RIB by Tiger Marine combines a flexible deck layout with comfortable accommodation for short family cruises.
Measuring 11.95 metres long and 3.75 metres wide, this 38-foot rigid inflatable boat offers twin outboard engines ranging from 300 to 400 hp each.
The walkthrough by the Sea Team reveals a spacious aft cockpit with an electrically adjustable table that converts into a sunbed or disappears into the deck.
There is also a large stern garage, generous storage and a configurable outdoor galley.
Forward, the T-top protects the helm, while wide walkways provide easy access to the cushioned bow lounge.
Below deck, the Maxline 38 features a forward double berth, an additional aft sleeping area and a separate bathroom with shower.
Designed for couples and families, this RIB combines practical cruising features with adaptable outdoor living spaces, according to the reviewer.
The Editor’s View
This walkthrough was filmed by The Sea Team, a team known for its thorough and detailed RIB reviews.
Their sea trials are equally comprehensive, offering valuable insights into each boat’s performance, handling and features.
That’s exactly why I enjoy sharing their videos here on RIBsONLY.com.
This video was published on the The Sea Team YouTube channel.
I’ve posted more videos of Tiger Marine here on RIBSONLY.com.
