All New GALA Viking V650

The GALA Viking V650 is a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) for both fun and practical use.

At 6.5 meters long, it fits up to 14 people.. The tubes are made of durable PVC, with an optional Hypalon upgrade for extra toughness.

The cockpit features a central console, navigation lights, and a comfy bench seat.

This footage of the GALA Viking V650 was recorded in very calm waters (as a lot of marketing departments do).

As many of you know, every RIB performs well in such conditions.

The true test comes in rough and choppy seas, where the real difference is made (also check out this video to get the feeling).

If you’re triggered to watch more videos of this brand, look no further.
