Ranieri Cayman 41.0 Reaches 44 Knots With 700 hp

October 02 2026October 04 2026 Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

This Ranieri Cayman Offers Space, Speed and Long-Range Comfort

The Ranieri Cayman 41.0 Hard Top shows how far a modern maxi RIB can go in combining performance, comfort and genuine cruising ability.

At almost 12 metres long and 3.80 metres wide, it offers generous deck space, excellent stability and surprisingly spacious accommodation below deck.

Ranieri International uses its patented Cockpit Shock Absorber system to reduce impacts and vibrations, while the large hard top provides welcome protection around the helm and cockpit.

Aft, the dining area converts into a large sunbed, while the galley includes an induction hob, sink and 75-litre refrigerator.

Below deck are two sleeping areas, plenty of storage and a separate bathroom.

Power comes from twin Suzuki DF350 outboards, delivering 700 hp through contra-rotating dual propellers.

The stepped hull accelerates strongly, cruises efficiently at around 30 knots and reaches approximately 44 knots.

The result is a fast, refined RIB designed for much more than day trips.
