Protector Boats European Debut from 12th to 15th June 2023
PB Europe are the exclusive European distributor for the globally renowned high performance Protector RIBs. You’ll find them at Berth VA37 during this year’s Seaworks event in Southampton.
There you can visit the 380 Targa, built by the New Zealand based company Rayglass Boats.
The slideshow below gives you a good idea of other models of the brand.
The Protector 380 Targa showcases a spacious cabin layout, expansive interior, enclosed standing head.
One standout feature of the 380 Targa is its extensive deck space, offering a generous 9.5′ internal beam and convenient walk-around access to the bow.
With a track record of proven operational excellence in extremely challenging waters worldwide, this watercraft serves as a robust platform for a range of commercial applications.
You see them at work amongst others at the Americas Cup, and SailGP.
Despite its respectable 11.50 meter length, the RIB is dwarfed by these majestic speed sailing yachts.
So, contact their Brand Manager, Ian (Andy) Andrews to book an appointment at the show.
I’ve published more videos of Protector RIBs here to admire.
