Sealegs amphibious crafts were born out of a necessity – a remedy to the cumbersome process of launching and retrieving boats from beachfront properties or boat ramps, minimising time and effort.
So, Sealegs seamlessly transitions between land and water, ensuring optimal performance in both environments without any compromise.
Simulating designs involves iterative testing and refinement, utilising virtual models to analyse various parameters.
This iterative process enables the exploration of alternatives and ultimately guides the development of the final design.
I have gathered additional videos of amphibious RIBs from this brand for you.
For the Route du Rhum, a memorable event, the French well-known Zodiac company crafted an exceptional collection of sixteen Pro Open 650 and four Pro 750 RIBs.
These Rigid Inflatable Boats were utilised effectively to safeguard the starting area.
In partnership with Suzuki Marine (an official partner of the event), the Pro Open 650s are equipped with white TGX 150hp outboard engines. They came turnkey with a Nautilus trailer, a GPS unit, and safety equipment.
The Zodiac Pro 750s are almost identical in design, however there is one key difference. One is powered by a robust and reliable Suzuki 250hp APX engine and boasts a more advanced GPS unit with enhanced capabilities to provide the ultimate navigation experience.
I published another version of the Open 650 should you be interested.
These special editions of ‘collectors’ items have been selling unbelievably fast! Unless they are taken off the shelves, many Route du Rhum models were sold before the boat show by various dealers.

Curious about the story behind RIBsONLY.com – the ultimate hub for Rigid Inflatable Boat enthusiasts? Allow me to share that story in this brief “About Us.”
Throughout my extensive career as a journalist navigating the waters, a profound love for RIBs has taken root within me.
Enthusiasm ignited as I acquired a rigid inflatable boat, deepening my passion for these kind of vessels.
This passion has driven me to advocate for RIBbing as the safest and most exhilarating way to traverse the open waters.
Motivated by the desire to spread this enthusiasm, I embarked on the journey of creating RIBsONLY.com, a blog dedicated to all things Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs).
In tandem with the blog, a vibrant Facebook group emerged as a community for like-minded individuals to connect, share experiences, and revel in their shared love for RIBs.
To maintain the purity of our community, “RIBs ONLY Sales,” a sister Facebook group, was born. This dedicated space ensures a clutter-free environment for genuine discussions and connections within our primary group.
Our adventures have taken us to the scenic Morbihan department in Brittany, France, a breathtaking bay adorned with captivating islands nestled in the vast ocean. A place that has become a cherished haven for our RIB excursions, as showcased in the captivating video below.
As you explore the world of RIBs through our platform, I invite you to join the community, share your experiences, and be part of the RIBsONLY.com journey.
