BSC 72 RIB Walkthrough: Inside This Spacious Italian RIB
The BSC 72 RIB combines generous deck space with a practical layout designed for comfort and easy movement, according to The Sea Team.
Measuring 7.20 metres long and 3 metres wide, this Rigid Inflatable Boat accommodates a single outboard engine from 150 to 250 hp, with 200 hp recommended.
This one has a Honda BF250 (see specs below).
The spacious aft cockpit features a convertible seating area that transforms into a large sunbed or dining space.
Behind the helm seat, an outdoor galley includes a sink, cutting board, and optional refrigerator.
The helm offers excellent visibility, while deep walkways and strategically placed handrails make moving around the boat feel secure.
Up front, a generous sunbed, multiple storage compartments, and a concealed anchor windlass complete the layout.
A well-designed RIB that makes excellent use of its dimensions.
Joker Boat Clubman 30: Twin Honda V8 Power Unleashed
The Joker Boat Clubman 30 delivers an impressive mix of performance, comfort, and attention to detail.
Powered by twin Honda 300 hp V8 outboards, this RIB reached approximately 50 knots during testing off Sicily.
Acceleration was smooth, with the hull planing effortlessly. At 33 knots, fuel consumption was just 2.5 litres per nautical mile.
The Clubman 30 remained remarkably stable, even during tight turns. Its tubes helped control heel, while the solid construction kept vibrations and rattles to a minimum.
On deck, generous seating, convertible sunbeds, an electric table, and a practical helm layout make life comfortable.
The testers particularly praised the quiet engines, precise handling, and excellent visibility.
A refined RIB with serious performance according to NonsolomareTV.

Highfield Boats just dropped a short recap video from its 2026 North American Dealer Meeting, and this year the crew moved the party to Chicago.
For years the event lived in Cadillac, Michigan, close to the factory. It simply got too big.
The video itself is quick and upbeat.
You see dealers and partners from the US and Canada mingling, checking out new RIBs, and generally having a good time on the water. Think networking, product demos, a dinner, and the usual competitive cornhole.
Nothing deep here, just a thank you to the people who sell their boats. Still, a nice look at a brand that keeps growing.
