The New Grand G980 Boat Tour
The Grand G980 is a new 10-metre Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) from Ukrainian manufacturer Grand Boats.
It combines modern design with high-performance engineering for recreational boating.
The Grand G980 celebrates 25 years of Grand Boats’ experience in designing and building premium Rigid Inflatable Boats.
Its twin-stepped deep-V fibreglass hull was developed by renowned Swedish naval architects Mannerfelt, delivering efficiency, stability, and confident offshore performance.
Powered by twin 350 hp Yamaha outboards, the Grand G980 achieves top speeds exceeding 57 knots.
Precision manoeuvring is enhanced by Yamaha HelmMaster EX joystick controls and a Sleipner bow thruster, making docking and low-speed navigation straightforward.
The spacious deck layout includes configurable seating, a practical wet bar, and a large bow sunbed, creating a versatile space for relaxing and entertaining.
Standard equipment features twin 16-inch Garmin multifunction displays, a Fusion premium audio system, and a fibreglass hardtop that provides protection in changing weather conditions.
Below deck, the cabin offers two berths, an electric toilet, generous storage space, and comfortable overnight accommodation, making the Grand G980 suitable for extended cruising.
