Introduction: A Boat for Every Mission

Not every boater needs an 11.5-meter twin-engine flagship. And not every boater wants a tiny tender that struggles in chop.

That is why we built fourteen distinct models across three size classes:

Every model shares the same DNA:

5-series marine grade aluminum (hull and deck)

XL shaft outboards only (no exceptions)

Category C certification (coastal/inshore waters)

24°–26° deadrise for a smooth, dry ride

But the differences matter. Let us walk you through the lineup.

Compact Class: 520, 560, 600, 660

The entry point to aluminum RIB ownership.

These boats are light enough to tow behind a midsize SUV, small enough to store in a garage, yet tough enough to handle choppy inland waters and protected bays.

Key Features:

24° deadrise (520, 560): Perfect for inland lakes and calm rivers. Provides stability at rest while still cutting through small chop.

26° deadrise (600, 660): The same deep-V as our larger offshore models. Handles rougher water with confidence.

PVC or Hypalon tubes: Choose based on your budget and climate (see Article 3 for the detailed comparison).

5 airtight chambers: Safety redundancy if one chamber is compromised.

Best engine matches:

520: Suzuki 90HP or Yamaha 100HP

560: Mercury 115HP or Honda 100HP

600: Yamaha 150HP or Suzuki 140HP

660: Mercury 200HP or Honda 150HP

Who should buy the Compact Class?

Lake cabin owners needing a versatile runabout

Sailboat owners wanting a rigid tender

First-time RIB buyers who want aluminum durability without a huge investment

Anglers fishing protected bays and rivers

Mid-Size Class: SP700, SP760, SP800, SP860

The sweet spot for coastal adventure.

When you move to 7 meters and beyond, everything changes. You gain serious wave-punching ability, twin-engine options, and enough fuel range for full-day excursions.

Why Hypalon only on these models?

Mid-size and larger boats see more sun exposure, longer trips, and rougher conditions. Hypalon (CSM) offers superior UV resistance, chemical resistance, and repairability. PVC is not offered on these models because we refuse to compromise on durability at this size class.

Twin-engine models (800 & SP860):

Redundancy: If one engine fails, the other brings you home

Maneuverability: Counter-rotating props make docking in wind effortless

Power: 400–500HP total for speeds above 50 knots

Deadrise consistency: All mid-size models feature 26° deadrise – the industry gold standard for coastal RIBs.

Who should buy the Mid-Size Class?

Fishing charter operators (6–10 anglers)

Families who take weekend coastal trips

Divers needing stable platforms and gear storage

Boaters who regularly encounter 1–2 meter chop.

Flagship Class: SP900, SP960, SP990, SP1150

Commercial-grade performance for serious missions.

These are not weekend toys. These are vessels designed for daily commercial use, long-range expeditions, and the most demanding conditions within Category C limits.

What makes the Flagship Class different?

Heavy-duty tube diameters: 560mm (SP900–SP990) and 600mm (SP1150) provide significantly more buoyancy and a drier ride than the 530mm tubes on compact models.

Wider beams: 3.12m to 3.7m creates incredible deck space. The SP1150 has an inside width of 2.4m – enough for a center console with full walkaround.

Twin big-block outboards: 800HP total on the SP1150 pushes this 11.5m RIB past 55 knots while carrying 20 passengers.

Massive fuel capacity: 800 liters on the SP1150 means 400+ nautical mile range. Run from Miami to Bimini and back without refueling.

Who should buy the Flagship Class?

Commercial dive and snorkel charters

Law enforcement and patrol agencies

Superyacht owners needing a serious tender (the SP1150 is larger than many production center consoles)

High-end day charter businesses

Rescue organizations requiring speed and stability
