This Ranieri Cayman Offers Space, Speed and Long-Range Comfort
The Ranieri Cayman 41.0 Hard Top shows how far a modern maxi RIB can go in combining performance, comfort and genuine cruising ability.
At almost 12 metres long and 3.80 metres wide, it offers generous deck space, excellent stability and surprisingly spacious accommodation below deck.
Ranieri International uses its patented Cockpit Shock Absorber system to reduce impacts and vibrations, while the large hard top provides welcome protection around the helm and cockpit.
Aft, the dining area converts into a large sunbed, while the galley includes an induction hob, sink and 75-litre refrigerator.
Below deck are two sleeping areas, plenty of storage and a separate bathroom.
Power comes from twin Suzuki DF350 outboards, delivering 700 hp through contra-rotating dual propellers.
The stepped hull accelerates strongly, cruises efficiently at around 30 knots and reaches approximately 44 knots.
The result is a fast, refined RIB designed for much more than day trips.
In a previous review this Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) was tested by The Sea Team. Now you can compare it with this one by NonsolomareTV.
This video shows the test of the Ranieri International Cayman 41.0 Hard Top with twin Suzuki DF350 outboards, delivering a combined 700 hp.
The integrated hardtop includes a substantial windscreen, while the helm provides seating for three and a clearly organised instrument layout.
Below deck, the boat offers a forward double berth, two additional sleeping positions, storage space and a separate shower compartment.
During testing, the Cayman reached planing speed progressively, without excessive bow rise, and settled quickly into comfortable cruising speeds.
Around 30 knots, reported fuel consumption was approximately 3 litres per nautical mile, increasing at higher cruising speeds.
Maximum speed reached about 44.5 knots, while high-speed turns showed predictable steering response, limited heel and no reported propeller cavitation.

Ranieri Cayman 41.0 Hard Top with Twin Suzuki Outboards
Two independent tests of the same Ranieri Cayman 41.0 Hard Top show similar performance, but notable fuel-consumption differences. Variations may result from fuel and water load, passengers, sea state, weather, trim, and other test conditions.

Remark; At 20 knots, Test 2 indicates 3.81–3.89 l/nm. As this figure is interpolated near the transition to planing, the 91–94% difference should be considered indicative rather than definitive.
The Ranieri International Cayman 41 Top was tested with twin Suzuki DF350 MD outboards, producing 700 hp.
In the video you can se that the conditions were calm, with a developing long swell and light breeze providing stability testing.
With two people aboard, fuel stood at 20 percent and water at 50 percent.
The stepped hull reached planing speed with limited bow rise and remained composed as speed increased. At 4,250 rpm, the boat recorded 32 knots while consuming 124 litres per hour.
Maximum speed reached 44 knots at 6,000 rpm, with combined fuel consumption of 220 litres per hour. The hull stayed dry during turns, wake crossings and higher-speed manoeuvres.
Steer-by-wire controls and counter-rotating propellers contributed to handling, comfort and reduced vibration throughout the test.
GALAXY RIBs Built for Patrol, Rescue and Commercial Work
GALAXY RIBs Pilot P6.5 and P7 are aluminium-hulled professional RIBs developed for rescue, patrol, diving, commercial work and other demanding operations.
The 6,5-metre P6.5 carries up to 12 people and accepts engines up to 250 hp, while retaining generous open deck space.
The larger P7 stretches to 6,95 metres, increases capacity to 13 passengers and raises maximum outboard power to 300 hp.
Both models use five-chamber inflatable tubes, robust aluminium construction and configurable consoles, seating and equipment tailored to specific professional roles.
GALAXY RIBs also offers 3D CAD visualisation before production, giving operators a clearer view of each custom layout before the boat is built.
