Hugo Andreae of Motor Boat & Yachting presents a captivating boat tour of this Italian-built Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), the ZAR 95 SL.
In addition to incorporating a larger GRP bow at the tube’s termination for increased space, the deep V hull features a broad downward-facing chine, effectively directing water away.
The updated model includes a compact cabin below deck, complete with a well-appointed head compartment.
In this video of the BSC B-2 Rigid Inflatable Boat, that is 9.2-meter long and 3.68-meter wide.
The maximum engine power is a whopping 700 horsepower.
It has two separate platforms at the stern, allowing for independent use of the aft areas.
The cockpit features a C-shaped sofa that can be configured as a sunbathing area or a dinette. The helm area includes comfortable seats, advanced controls, and a high, wrap-around windshield for excellent visibility.
Moving towards the bow, there’s a spacious sunbathing area within the tubular, along with a chaise lounge. Below the cushion, there’s a pass-through for added brightness.
Inside the cabin, there’s a double bed, storage cabinets, and a separate bathroom with privacy.
The video showcases the Rigid Inflatable Boat, the BSC B-1, which is part of the new B series produced by the Italian based BSC shipyard.
