About SACS

SACS Tecnorib is a Milaan based Italian boat manufacturer.

It was established in 1989 by Gianluca Torrente. The company focuses on developing rigid inflatable boats (RIBs).

Since 2017, the shipyard has been 100% owned by Tecnorib, which also builds RIBs under the Pirelli brand.

Among its key product lines are the Strider and Rebel series (not real RIBs). These are built with an emphasis on durability, functionality, and performance at sea.

Over the years, the company’s boats have found a range of uses. These uses span both recreational and professional maritime sectors worldwide.

When Tuna Feed This Happens

Captain Matthias Scheer set out from San Diego searching for orcas in his Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).

Instead, he and his guests witnessed a jaw-dropping impressive once-in-a-lifetime ocean erupt.

Massive 300-pound tuna burst from the water, chasing swirling huge schools of anchovies.

For four unforgettable hours, the sea boiled with wild, unstoppable life. Nature at its best!

What began as whale watching became a front-row seat to nature’s showcase!
