Barracuda 650: The Fishing RIB Built for Serious Anglers
At the Pescare Show, Italy 2026, Pasquale Esposito introduced the Joker Boat Barracuda 650, a RIB designed specifically for sport fishing.
Built on the proven Joker Coaster hull, the boat features a deck layout optimized for drifting, trolling and vertical fishing.
The project brings together leading brands including Joker Boat, Honda Marine, Simrad electronics and Shimano fishing equipment.
Powered by a Honda V6 200 hp, the Barracuda 650 combines performance with reliability for long offshore runs.
A spacious, obstacle-free cockpit, large live bait tank and multiple rod holders enhance fishing efficiency.
The console of this Barracuda 650 integrates advanced navigation electronics and practical storage solutions for serious anglers.

Proud to share that Honda Marine is a Friend of RIBs ONLY.
