Zodiac Hurricane™ ZH-940 Yamaha Powered

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Considered one of the finest RIBs on the planet, the Zodiac Hurricane range are the only boats used by discerning operators who need ruggedness and reliability.

Zodiac Milpro™ has more than 20,000 boats in daily use by over 80 military forces across the globe.

RIBs combine rigidity and speed with the security, stability, comfort and light weight qualities of traditional boats.

True “go anywhere” boats, they provide exceptional marine qualities combining a low centre of gravity to a deep V hull and a stabilizing buoyancy tube.

The patented MACH II (Military Air Channeled Hull II) hull design reduces resistance and enhances directional stability for increased speed, fuel economy and safety.

The hull is the most important part of the RIB.

Zodiac Hurricane™ offers high-speed RIBs since 1982. For more info follow this link.

The Immense ZH-1300

The Zodiac Hurricane™ ZH-1300 MACH II OB Interceptor is the newest and largest platform of the Zodiac Hurricane range and had its world debut in 2017.

Dubbed the Interceptor, the ZH-1300 demo boat shows the nimble manoeuvrability normally associated with smaller craft and addresses the needs of end users in the Military and Patrol boat market for larger platforms, with focus on speed, handling and stability.

This 13-meter platform is propelled by quad Mercury Verado 350 HP outboard engines. The boat is designed around an aluminum hull and deck, and features the MACH 2 stepped-hull design.

Based on proven 9- and 11-meter MACH II hull models, the larger size allows for higher payloads and additional deck space, while providing superior seakeeping and higher speed capability in rough water conditions.
