Seadelta SD 600 RIB Test: 45 Knots With Honda 150 hp

Discover the Seadelta SD 600 Combining 45-Knot Speed With Comfort

The Seadelta SD 600 was among the Greek boatbuilder’s first RIBs and has become one of its bestsellers, according to the owner.

Designed to offer the comfort and handling of a larger boat, this 6-metre RIB combines performance with practicality.

Its specially developed variable-deadrise hull delivers a smooth, controlled ride, even in challenging sea conditions.

Engine options range from 130 to 200 hp, although the manufacturer considers 150 to 175 hp an excellent balance between performance and fuel efficiency.

Powered by a Honda 150 hp VTEC outboard (see specs below), the Seadelta SD 600 reportedly reaches 45 knots, with average fuel consumption of approximately 1 to 1.1 litres per nautical mile.

The spacious layout includes a protective console, generous storage, comfortable seating and a practical bow arrangement.

Attention to construction quality and detail makes this Greek RIB suitable for family cruising and professional use.

The Editor’s View

The Greek authorities officially list www.seadelta.gr as Seadelta’s website in their boatbuilders’ register, with the entry dating back to 2022. However, the website is not active, so I have been unable to verify and publish the official specifications at this time.
