BIG RIBs Nothing New

Many years ago we only saw large RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) from Heaven (80 ft), Opera (60 ft) and Zodiac with its famous Amphitrite (60 ft) for Jacques Cousteau.

Nowadays 35-footers and much bigger no longer are exceptions. Many RIB designers and builders design more and more big hulls.

Ranieri Cayman 45

The largest RIB ever built by the Ranieri shipyard, is this 14 meter Rigid Inflatable Boat called Cayman 45.0 Cruiser.

The triple rig of Mercury 450 Racing’s puts out some immense 1,350 horsepower that all need to drink. The steerings comes with the joystick system and Active Trim.

There is plenty of room to sleep with these nice bedrooms: there are two separate areas for four people in total, plus a toilet compartment with a shower.
