Sea Water is an Sardinian based shipyard, Cagliari. They’re offering mostly big RIBs but also a 7 and 8.5 meter Phantom. They are straightforward when it comes to defining their proposition:
“Sea Water means the desire to preserve the authentic RIB that once was. Without superstructures, appendages or other useless and unattractive frills. An uncomplicated outline, with only the essential.”
This video shows that even this big, 12-meter-long RIB can still navigate swiftly and elegantly.
The Salpa Soleil 42 Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) effortlessly cruises through this canal waters.

Building your own RIB is quite a challenge. The images show the different stages.

Dimensions are: length 6 m, width 2.27 m, weight 650 kg (without engine, battery, equipment, liquids etc).
Congratulations Costas for doing such a great job!
