The Italian Built ZAR RIB
The ZAR Imagine 115 Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) appears to be designed for owners seeking both offshore performance and onboard comfort.
To me, it’s not a maxi RIB sa mentioned by the presenter. It’s a big RIB.
These are the real ones: Maxi RIBs for Maxi Wallets: the 15+ Meter Range
Powered by twin Mercury Verado V10 outboards of 425 hp each, the RIB reached a recorded top speed of 48.6 knots during testing.
The stepped hull seems to play a key role in its behaviour.
The boat exceeded 20 knots fast, reached 30 knots at a reported fuel consumption of 138 l/h, and remained composed through high-speed turns.
Below deck, the 11.5-metre RIB offers what looks like practical cruising accommodation.
Two cabins, a separate shower, generous seating and a large hardtop suggest it could also suit longer trips without compromising performance.
