The New Bayamo R6.8 Aluminium RIB
This Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) could have been developed for owners seeking a trailerable boat for both coastal and inland waters.
Its lightweight construction, foldable roll bar and adaptable layout might improve everyday practicality.
During sea trials off Venice 2026, the Bayamo R 6.8 appeared to maintain a composed ride in various conditions.
Though the specs mention speeds above 50 knots, it reportedly cruised comfortably around 24 – 30 knots, reached 38-42 knots and achieved 48 knots in calmer conditions.
The hull seemed to prioritise predictable handling and comfort over outright speed.
