Renier R12 Cabin FB Combines 4 Berths With Serious Outboard Power

The Renier R12 Cabin FB Rigid Inflatable Boat is a nearly 12 m RIB designed to combine open-deck space with proper overnight accommodation.

Below deck, the cabin includes two double berths, storage, hull windows and a separate toilet compartment with shower facilities.

The boat carries 780 litres of fuel and 220 litres of fresh water, making longer trips possible without frequent stops.

Outboard options range from twin Mercury V10s to twin 600 hp V12s, with a maximum installed power of 1,200 hp.

The R12 Cabin FB weighs 4,500 kg without engines and is certified for up to 22 people in CE Category B (what does this mean).

The Italian Renier R8 Tourer Demo Video

March 21 2026June 02 2026 Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

The Tourer Version of the R8 Looks Good

The R8 enters the market with the aim of challenging established expectations within its segment.

The design builds on the foundations of the R9. It has been further developed to deliver notable space.

It also provides storage within an eight-meter footprint. The result is a layout that offers a level of comfort more commonly linked to larger boats.

Particular care has been given to the use of space, with practical solutions integrated throughout the deck and seating areas. A retractable awning extends the usable area by providing effective shade when required.

The helm has been designed with clarity in mind.

It presents essential information in a layout that is both functional and easy to read.

Renier R9 Rigid Inflatable Boat Interesting Review

November 10 2025November 15 2025 Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

A Good Renier R9 Review

The Renier R9 is tested by The Boat Show off the Sicilian coast, demonstrating strong performance in challenging sea conditions.

The yard builds on the expertise of founder Luigi Renier, who designs and personally uses his boats extensively.

The R9 combines a clean layout with options for sterndrive or outboard power and flexible interior configurations.

Comfort comes from wide passages, hidden sunshade systems, a practical galley module, and generous storage throughout the deck.

A powerful V8 with duoprop propulsion delivers quick acceleration, stable handling, and confident control in rough waves.

The R9 maintains efficient cruising speeds with low consumption, allowing long-range travel with comfort and reliability.
