All New GALA Viking V650

The GALA Viking V650 is a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) for both fun and practical use.

At 6.5 meters long, it fits up to 14 people.. The tubes are made of durable PVC, with an optional Hypalon upgrade for extra toughness.

The cockpit features a central console, navigation lights, and a comfy bench seat.

This footage of the GALA Viking V650 was recorded in very calm waters (as a lot of marketing departments do).

As many of you know, every RIB performs well in such conditions.

The true test comes in rough and choppy seas, where the real difference is made (also check out this video to get the feeling).

If you’re triggered to watch more videos of this brand, look no further.

This video was published on the Gala Inflatable Boats YouTube channel.

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

English spoken review RIB Joker Boat Clubman 32

Joker Boat launches the Clubman 32, positioned between the Clubman 30 and 35, blending their DNA and style.

The Clubman 32’s design meticulously caters to owner needs, featuring squared stern platforms, fold-up ladders, and stainless steel handrails for ease of boarding.

Its U-shaped seating, central telescopic table, and synthetic Ital-Deck material offer comfort and hygiene. Safety is paramount, with fiberglass frames and structural elements ensuring secure navigation.

The cockpit includes a comprehensive steering module, refrigerator, and foldable wet bar.

Testing the Clubman 32 in Spain showcased its remarkable maneuverability, aided by two 400 horsepower Yamaha engines.

The boat’s deep hull design ensures stability and precise navigation.
