The Worlds Fastest Hybrid RIB Clocks at 104.2 Knots – It’s a Bernico!

It’s been rumoured for some time but now it’s gone public.

The Worlds Fastest Hybrid RIB clocks at 104.2 Knots. It’s a Bernico International! CEO and owner is the Belgian Nico Bertels, a well-known boat builder and race pilot with a fantastic palmares.

He won many (!) titles and his son Buby is following in his footsteps.

He sells boats that are well-liked all around the world, and have won lots of awards. One of his biggest secrets is the shape of the hull, the most important part of any boat.

It took the company 4 years to build this head-turning full carbon Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Jon Olssen (S) is the lucky owner of this military looking unique RIB called “c’est normal”.

The actual ride is the next video so stay tuned.

Overview Novamarine RH1000 Innovative RIB

This 9.95 meter Italian built Novamarine’s Rhesus 1000 is another model that shows the innovation of the brand.

What is immediately noticeable, apart from its length, is without a doubt how wide this almost 10 m long RIB is.

“It offers top-of-the-line performance and a wide space that can be customized to suit the buyer’s needs.”

It’s little brother is the RH800.

Novamarine mainly built for the B2B market (business to business), but also focuses on the pleasure craft market.

The larger models up to the 22 m flag ship no longer have tubes and are therefore not RIBs.
