The RIB’s inflatable tubes provide additional buoyancy and stability, while its deep-V hull ensures a smooth ride even in rough conditions.

What immediately stands out after the cabin superstructure is the spacious aft deck.

It makes this boat into a versatile choice for day trips or longer excursions.

Hellas to Azores Daring RIB Adventure – The Atlantic

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

This is a video of 2014 about a part of the fantastic RIB adventure Hellas to Azores by a Greek RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) team of 5.

The team consisted of Thomas Panagiotopoulos, Spyros Goniotakis, Cristiano Segnini, Alexander Veis and Norberto Pereira.

Other videos document the journey during a 3,500 nautical mile journey from Greece to the Azores in their Greek built Top Line RIB powered by two Suzuki outboards.

The adventure Hellas to Azores started with the preparation for the trip, where they installed the two engines, modify the boat’s fuel capacity and navigation equipment, and stock up on supplies.

They set off from Greece and encounter several challenges such as rough seas, unpredictable weather, and engine problems, which they manage to overcome with their experience and expertise.

If you want to see what rough weather means, checkout these videos.

Despite the encountered obstacles, they completed their journey from Hellas to Azores, where they were greeted by friendly locals.

Route du Rhum Sublime Zodiac Pro Open 650 & 750

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

For the Route du Rhum, a memorable event, the French well-known Zodiac company crafted an exceptional collection of sixteen Pro Open 650 and four Pro 750 RIBs.

These Rigid Inflatable Boats were utilised effectively to safeguard the starting area.

In partnership with Suzuki Marine (an official partner of the event), the Pro Open 650s are equipped with white TGX 150hp outboard engines. They came turnkey with a Nautilus trailer, a GPS unit, and safety equipment.

The Zodiac Pro 750s are almost identical in design, however there is one key difference. One is powered by a robust and reliable Suzuki 250hp APX engine and boasts a more advanced GPS unit with enhanced capabilities to provide the ultimate navigation experience.

I published another version of the Open 650 should you be interested.

These special editions of ‘collectors’ items have been selling unbelievably fast! Unless they are taken off the shelves, many Route du Rhum models were sold before the boat show by various dealers.
