Ribelle R6 – Full Sea Trial and Test Results

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

The Ribelle R6 on the Water

The Italian built Ribelle R6 was powered by a Mercury 40 Pro. It was tested off Torre del Greco.

In Italy you don’t need a license below 40 hp. I don’t understand why…

According to the video, conditions were calm but gradually changed in the afternoon.

The boat showed excellent stability at rest and during displacement thanks to its large Orca-fabric tubes.

The hull’s chines ensured dry, soft navigation, excellent grip in tight turns, and no cavitation.

On Board RibElle R6 – a New RIB Brand

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

A New Shipyard Amazes

The RibElle R6 by the Italian based Dueellerib is presented as a versatile Italian-built RIB designed to deliver comfort, stability, and practical usability.

It maintains easy trailer ability through compact dimensions and inflatable tubes while still offering confident performance on the water.

The people on board have a secure reboarding ladder. Additionally, there is a fully walkable deck for safer movement.

The RibElle R6’s modular sunbathing area and organized storage compartments ensure relaxation, order, and efficient use of onboard space.

A protective roll bar canopy and durable neoprene tubes by ORCA contribute to comfort and long-lasting reliability during outings.

The central console provides intuitive controls, instrument protection, and an enjoyable navigation experience.
