Salpa Soleil 42 vs 33 – What’s Your Favourite Big RIB

Which Salpa Fits Your Needs Best?

In this very well structured video from Brugge Marine Center, two big Salpa RIBs are being compared namely Soleil 42 and 33.

Nautica Salpa was founded in 1984 and collects the experience that Antonio and Enza Pane have gained for more than thirty years in the pleasure boat sector.

RIB owners claim to have seen an amazing improvement in performance thanks to a new technology that originates from the aviation industry.

Salpa’s excellent seaworthiness, manoeuvrability and performance, combined with its great structural strength, low weight and fuel consumption made it a favourite amongst RIBs.

A New Salpa

This video showcases a review of the Rigid Inflatable Boat Salpa Soleil 24.5 by the Italian based Salpa Yachts. The test took place in Posillipo, Naples, Italy by Bacci Del Buono.

Salpa Shipyard has delivered notable results, producing 500 inflatable boats and manufacturing 150 in the past year (2023).

The video is all about testing the quality of the latest model, the Salpa Soleil 24.5, in the Gulf of Naples.

The Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), positioned between the Sale 23 and Sale 26 models, boasts expansive stern platforms, comfortable interior features, and safety measures, including watertight bulkheads.

The helm and navigation system integrate practical features, although off-center weight distribution is addressed by strategic battery placement.

The fuel consumption during the on-water performance test is detailed, particularly at its remarkable top speed of 46.8 knots.

The reason for sharing this video is to highlight the notable feature of the vented hull on the Soleil 42, which commands attention.

It’s crucial to underscore that the hull represents the most significant aspect of any boat.

It’s Adam Younger’s design, a well-know naval architect and member of RIBs ONLY. He has an amazing palmares.

The credit for this goes to the hull developed through a partnership with the esteemed English specialist, Adam Younger. He’ a naval architect and member of RIBs ONLY.

Widely recognised for his expertise in designing racing hulls, Younger crafted a high-performance double-step hull featuring a straight vertical bow.
