Croation SuperRib Presentation

The SuperRib brand are buit in Croatia, created by well known Croatian naval architect Srđan Đaković.

Nautical expos offer enthusiasts a glimpse into the latest boat models and shipyard advancements.

Despite its smaller size, the SuperRib 27 maintains high standards of craftsmanship.

The SuperRib 30 Cabin version introduces structural upgrades like a unique carbon fiber T-top.

The SuperRib 30 Special One boasts significant enhancements, including a reinforced hull and luxurious amenities.

This video was published on THE BOAT SHOW YouTUbe channel.

I’ve posted more SuperRIb videos here on RIBsONLY.com.

SuperRib 30 Carbon Version Deep Dive

Croatia’s SuperRib production site is renowned for crafting exclusive, custom-made Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) with a focus on superior quality and performance.

The video is built around an interview with Andelko Lemo, Project Manager superRIB and member of RIBs ONLY.

They emphasize uniqueness and meticulous attention to detail over mass production, creating high-class vessels akin to luxury cars.

Notable features include solid decks, integrated plastic tubes for easy repairs, hidden anchors, and versatile deck configurations.

Is the SuperRib Open 27 the Future?

SuperRib Open 27 Rather Innovative?

The video is again a job well done!

But I’m going to be honest. Whenever I read such a statement, in this case the “RIB of the future?”, I am more sceptical than usual.

Maybe you feel that way too because what is the future and how do you predict it?

Perhaps it’s a somewhat unfortunate choice of words and probably one to name as a differentiator from the competition for this SuperRIB Open 27.

I prefer to stick to “innovative” like, for instance, the new Mercury 600 V12.

I recently had the opportunity to experience this technology on a twin installation on a massive Technohull Omega 47. It’s really something else. More on that in a forthcoming article.

The SuperRib 30 in Action

A day of prop testing on a Croatian built SuperRib 30 carbon open. The RIB is built using a vacuum infused carbon hull. With twin 450R Mercury outboards they reached 62 knots. Look at that digital speed gauge going…

The hull was created by the well-known Croatian naval architect Srđan Đaković, who has super yachts, sail and traditional boats in his portfolio.

I’ve published earlier here a video of the cabin GRP version of this model and also its litle sister.

With an HD racing carbon hull, they can mount up to 900 hp in a twin-engine configuration, allowing the Rigid Inflatable Boat to reach speeds above 65 knots.

An Interesting SuperRib 27 Open

This video presents you a walkthrough of the SuperRib 27 Open RIB, an all new maxi Rigid Inflatable Boat at Düsseldorf 2023. You can active subtitels on this video.

The company offers 3 models at this moment. and the 27 is the smaller version of the Open 30 and Cabin 30.

What is immediately noticeable is that the entire nose is built in fibreglass as is the carbon “Y” supporting the large T-top.

The Croatian based company gives little specifications of this SuperRib 27 Open.

These I found already on their website: length is 8.35 meters, 2.95 meters wide and a weight of 2 tons. The 30 Open weighs about 300 kg more and the 30 Cabin 600 kg.

The maximum power is 450 hp and the manufacturer advices to use a single engine.

I’ve published earlier a test of the bigger sister the SuperRib 30 Cabin.
