New Bayamo R 6.8 RIB Preview and First Test

The New Bayamo R6.8 Aluminium RIB

This Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) could have been developed for owners seeking a trailerable boat for both coastal and inland waters.

Its lightweight construction, foldable roll bar and adaptable layout might improve everyday practicality.

During sea trials off Venice 2026, the Bayamo R 6.8 appeared to maintain a composed ride in various conditions.

Though the specs mention speeds above 50 knots, it reportedly cruised comfortably around 24 to 30 knots, reached 38 to 42 knots and achieved 48 knots in calmer conditions.

The hull seemed to prioritise predictable handling and comfort over outright speed.
