Well to me this Challenger built by the Habbeke Shipyard is not a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) as such because of the rigid tubes but it comes very close. Please forgive me, I got really carried away …

The Incredible Fabio Buzzi 42 Sport RIB
For the build of this 13 meter Fabio Buzzi 42 kevlar was also used. One can recognise these RIBs from far due to its typical shape of the high rising bow.
But there’s more to tell than meets the eye.
This technique stores potential energy when it hits a wave and then turns this into kinetic energy when it impacts the water, retrieving 90% of stored energy that would have otherwise been lost.
The Fabio Buzzi 42 Sport RIB can reach incredible speeds on choppy water because of the wave-bouncing technique.

And to finish in beauty, here is a video of the “little” sister, the 39 Sport.
Impressive RIBs Heaven 34 – 40 – 80 at Genova 2011
The only brand that builds truly mega RIBs is without any doubt the Italian shipyard Heaven.
Heaven’s Flagship
The flagship is the 80, measuring 24 meters in length and 5.7 meters in width. It can reach a speed of 45 knots! The luxury level for the 30 passengers this Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) can accommodate is very high.
The video is in Italian and you cannot choose subtitles in your language of choice.
Nevertheless, the video gives a good impression of these three mega RIBs. Do checkout this one as well where the shipyard has purchased the Acume 50 mold from which the 50 will soon be born.
These Rigid Inflatable Boats are crafted with 100% Italian craftsmanship.
Thanks to NonsolomareTV for this great video.
Impressive Capelli Tempest 44 Yamaha 3 x F350
The Capelli Tempest 44 is known for its low line on the water and its streamlined superstructure.
With a generously sized cockpit, the boat offers an incredible level of comfort and spaciousness that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 people without feeling crowded or cramped.
It is one of its prominent advantages that help it stand out from the rest of the boats in its class.
Here is a custom black version.
Proud to share that Brugge Marine Center (BMC) is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
New Remarkable RIB Agapi 950 Twin Yamaha 300
Agapi 950
“An Agapi 950 is more than a unique RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). It is a new concept of boating.”
Well you can imagine that when I read this, I was very very curious. Is it a game changer? A revolutionary build? Things missed by other RIB manufacturers?
Every RIB designer puts his or her heart and soul into their creation, giving the boat its individuality by differentiating it. Yet, many things always recur.
The Agapi builders looked for these features in boat:
- Sport performance
- Comfort and entertainment
- Mobility and dexterity
Agapi Boat Club
Since 2016 they quit building boats and started an Agapi boat club for chartering motorboats also from other brands. Check out the presentation of this boat club.
They have a Facebook page as well.
