This MAR.CO E-Motion 32 Mirabilis Rigid Infatable Boat (RIB) range comes in two sizes of 29 and 32 feet.
Mar.co has consolidated its presence in a boat class where maritime tourism entails top performance and equipment, awe-inspiring not only its competing inflatables, but also cruisers of similar size.
Okay, see if they can convince you.
“There are countless reasons for choosing an AB Inflatables as your tender, but there are just as many reasons for choosing an AB Inflatable as your primary boat. Here is a 60 seconds look of one of our Lightweight Console Tenders: Mares 10 VSX”.
The Nautilus 14 DLX is a Rigid Inflatable Boat or RIB.
For an article on RIBs smaller than 4 meter worldwide, I thought ChatGPT could be of some assistance. If you’re not familiar with this conversational AI-tool, check out this page.
While the trend in the world of fantastic Rigid Inflatable Boats is leaning towards larger sizes, the “smaller” ones remain necessary, making entry into this world more accessible.
So 4 meter was my parameter number 1.
Will ChatGPT help me to provide a full list of RIBs smaller than 4 meters (great video by the way).
I started with a lot of enthusiasm and ran my query multiple times, adapting it to get the desired result.
I noticed that it was a mix of brands that differed from each other to a lesser extent. So I began to worry about the precision of the ChatGPT neural network even in this stadium.
Only when I pointed out that some information was incorrect did the tool excuse itself and provided more accurate information about RIBs smaller than 4 meter. That was awesome.
So I still had to “correct” the items in the list and added the links myself.
I learned that the formulation of the question must be very clear to get what you want. It’s like working with software developers.
It certainly wasn’t all doom and gloom; I really enjoy(ed) working with ChatGPT, albeit with some nuances in the answers. Privacy, safety, and copyright are certainly things to be aware of!
I really liked being able to have a conversation to delve deeper into the subject matter of RIBs smaller than 4 meter. This concept motivated me to keep going and achieve better results; in contrast to Google, for example.
That said, below is a 10-item list of RIBs smaller than 4 meter of worldwide brands.

“A group of entrepreneurs from Bergamo takes over the historic brand.
The Italian based Solemar brand, a pioneer in the yachting industry with its cabin inflatables boats, has always been one of the main worldwide market leaders in this segment, and the brand is back to make all its enthusiastic dream.
A long-awaited comeback, with major investments behind it, including moulds, projects and a professional team united by their passion for the nautical sector and mostly for the brand itself.
Solemar will reposition itself in a specific market niche, where quality, attention to detail and attention to the owner needs will make the product simply one of a kind.
Two ranges are currently in production: SX is the daily line, with a well-designed layout with optimized spaces for maximum comfort aboard, models that perfectly meet the customer’s needs.
SE line, stands for Solemar Elegance line: boats with cabins ideal for short and medium range cruising, characterised by sophistication and great comfort, to be lived with family and friends.
Comfort, quality and elegance. Solemar’s models are characterised by a well-studied layout with optimised spaces and an efficient performing hull: the perfect combination of elements for those expert owners that want to enjoy the sea with their family in safety and comfort.
The first appointment will be next September 2023: the brand will launch 3 models of the SX line: SX27, SX30 and the Solemar SX34 (see rendering above). They’re between 8.5 m and 11 m.
It will also reveal the upcoming 2024 projects, including a 10 m with 4 berths – that was from the very beginning – the bestseller of the brand.”
More news on the Solemar SX34 is to come.
