Cool JOY MARINE 50 Maxi RIB Review

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

JOY MARINE 50

This is a review of the new Maxi Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) Joy Marine 50 designed for luxury cruising and high-performance boating. The test location was in the waters of Cannes, France.

The video shows you its behavior on the mild sea. You get an idea of the interior, specially designed for the owner of this RIB. Many RIB brands offer customisation nowadays.

The host takes us on a tour of the boat’s features and amenities, including its spacious and comfortable seating areas, advanced navigation and entertainment systems, and impressive power and speed capabilities.

The boat’s sleek design and advanced technology make it an ideal choice for serious boaters and enthusiasts who demand the best.

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

BIG RIBs Nothing New

Many years ago we only saw large RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) from Heaven (80 ft), Opera (60 ft) and Zodiac with its famous Amphitrite (60 ft) for Jacques Cousteau.

Nowadays 35-footers and much bigger no longer are exceptions. Many RIB designers and builders design more and more big hulls.

Ranieri Cayman 45

The largest RIB ever built by the Ranieri shipyard, is this 14 meter Rigid Inflatable Boat called Cayman 45.0 Cruiser.

The triple rig of Mercury 450 Racing’s puts out some immense 1,350 horsepower that all need to drink. The steerings comes with the joystick system and Active Trim.

The carbon hard-top on this Ranieri Cayman 45 comes standard.

There is plenty of room to sleep with these nice bedrooms: there are two separate areas for four people in total, plus a toilet compartment with a shower.

The story of John Moxham

When it comes to hull design, I’m all ears and eyes and so should you.

After all, it is the most important part of a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) or any boat for that matter.

The video tells the story of John Moxham’s hull design and how it has contributed to the rising success of Ultimate Boats, a company that produces high-performance powerboats.

John Moxham is no stranger to RIBs ONLY and designed the new hulls for Ultimate Boats.

Big Capelli Tempest 1000 Open RIB – Boat Tour

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Capelli Tempest 1000 Open RIB

This video by BoatLife features a tour of the Capelli Tempest 1000 Open RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat).

The title mentions that Capelli is a “new Italian-made boat” while the Cantieri Capelli build boats for more than 48 years now (and not 65 years as mentioned in the video). It’s probably new to Australia.

That said, the 17 minute during video provides a detailed walkthrough of the boat, highlighting its key features, such as the spacious seating and sunbathing areas, the well-equipped kitchenette, and the powerful twin Yamaha outboards installation.

Overall, the video offers an informative and entertaining overview of the spacey Capelli Tempest 1000 Open RIB and is likely to be of interest to anyone wanting to take out their family on an easy day.

Check this video for the test drive.

By the way, I’ve publish more Capelli Tempest videos here on RIBsONLY.com.
