Master 996 Tested at 25, 30 and 35 Knots With Twin Yamaha 350s

At Marina di Castellammare del Golfo, Italy, Francesco van NonsolomareTV took the Master 996 out with massive twin Yamaha V6 350 hp outboards.

The test focused on everyday cruising speeds around 25, 30 and 35 knots, while also examining fuel consumption from the two 4.3-litre engines.

The 9.96-metre RIB measures 3.38 metres wide and weighs around two tonnes, with generous seating, storage and sunbathing areas.

Its layout includes a galley, refrigerator, sink, helm electronics, joystick control, VHF, chartplotter and a forward cabin with a double berth and toilet.

The walkthrough also covered the bathing platforms, folding table, adjustable helm seating, bow lounging area, anchor system and practical access to onboard storage.

The Master 775 Walkthrough

At this year’s Pescare Show in Italy, the Sea Team had the chance to step aboard the Master 775 Fishing. They did this with Flavio from Fisherlandia.

Fisherlandia is a historic shop based in Genoa, Italy. The shop has been supporting anglers for over 30 years.

They offer gear, electronics, and even fishing experiences at sea.

The Master 775 Fishing proved to be a versatile and robust RIB, designed with anglers in mind.

Its spacious stern area is completely obstacle-free, equipped with rod holders, high gunwales, and plenty of custom options.

One highlight is the 140-liter livewell, featuring a double pump system and a glass front for monitoring fish health.

The console offers endless customization, housing electronics, radar, VHF, stereo, and powerful twin Mercury 200 hp engines.

Comfort is also key. A wide bow sundeck invites relaxation.

Practical details like non-slip flooring, refrigerated storage, and a strong hard top ensure reliability.

This video was published on The Sea Team YouTube channel. It’s one of my favorite ones!

Master 630 Fishing: A Good RIB for Anglers?

April 01 2025June 18 2025 Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Master 630 Fishing: Designed for Fishing Trips

Carlo from the Sea Team explores the Italian built Master 630 Fishing, a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) that measures 6.28 meter in length and 2.58 meter in width.

As I use a RIB of 6,12 meter, this length to me is the ideal way to go out RIBbing.

A boat of that length is easy to tow and store, with an optimal weight for transport.

It offers plenty of space for four people and I don’t need a 6 cylinder outboard to get up to speed.

In my experience, a RIB of this length and weight are a great combination for my navigation area and purpose. It fit’s our goal perfectly.

You can see our RIB in action on my RIBs ONLY YouTube channel: Fuelling Up : RIBs ONLY Pit Stop Direction Le Crouesty and RIB Fun in “Le Golfe du Morbihan” !

I searched for high-quality videos of the Master brand to feature on this blog: Discover their RIBs.
