Twisted Scorpion 34T: Offshore Performance Meets Luxury

The Twisted Scorpion 34T blends serious offshore performance with the comfort and finish expected from a high-end British leisure Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).

At around 10.4 metres long and 3.1 metres wide, it offers a spacious layout suited to cruising and tender use.

A pair of 300 hp Honda outboards delivers strong performance, supported by joystick steering and a bow thruster for easier handling.

On deck, passengers get ample seating, a forward sunpad, a wet bar, refrigeration, a sink and protection beneath the hardtop.

Boarding steps over the tubes, a swim ladder, towing fittings and a private toilet compartment add useful practicality for longer trips.

With roughly 900 litres of fuel capacity, the 34T combines extended range with reported maximum speeds approaching 60 knots.

The new SACS Strider 11 Sundeck gives the established Italian RIB a sharper, more contemporary character, without losing the sporting DNA behind the Strider name.

Rather than chasing complexity, SACS has kept the layout practical spending time around the cockpit with family or friends.

Visitors could have experienced the Sundeck version the water in Cannes until 13 September 2026.
