The ultimate in RIBs at SCIBS 2024
At this year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, 23 to 26 May, Sirocco Marine will have a massive line-up of Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) from the world’s leading brands.
Occupying their traditional space along Masthead Way, Sirocco Marine dealers from all over Australia will present around 30 boats in total, representing the most popular models from BRIG, Zodiac and Williams.
“Visitors to this year’s SCIBS will be able to inspect a wide range of RIBs from Zodiac and BRIG, including the larger models in the 6 and 8-metre segment,” said Sirocco Marine Managing Director, Neil Webster.
Returning to the boat show circuit is a new model BRIG Eagle 10, the flagship of the BRIG range. At 10.2-metres, the go-anywhere Brig Eagle 10 is a true 50 knot boat, powered by twin 300hp engines and with an array of features that make it the most versatile and best value day boat and weekender on the market.
Then there’s the Eagle 8, BRIG’s luxury family cruiser with a sleek, iconic profile and stylish design for fun family days on the water.
With space on board for up to 16 passengers, it features a table and seating for six, with large lockers under the seating and the extended bow can be equipped with either a generous sundeck or an additional seating area. There’s an electric toilet under the helm station, plus a freshwater shower on the transom.
From Zodiac, the pioneer in RIBs since the 1930s, there will be an impressive selection of the best-selling tenders and larger models up to the flagship Medline 9. The Zodiac Medline 9 is positioned as a private oasis. At 9-metres with a 3-metre beam, the Medline 9 is the largest in the range.
Crowning the Sirocco Marine display will be a head-turning day boat from the Netherlands, the Sirocco 730i. The 7.3-metre vessel boasts an inboard diesel engine, offering owners more economical, low maintenance, family-friendly cruising.
With her distinctive navy-blue hull and tan bimini for protection against the elements, the Sirocco 730i is ideal for cruising Australian waterways, from Sydney Harbour, Pittwater and the Hawkesbury to Port Phillip Bay and the Gold Coast Broadwater and canals. “The Sirocco 730i is a big, solid platform with plenty of creature comforts on board for up to 10 guests,” says Neil. “It offers owners all the advantages of a diesel shaft drive, superb handling, and user-friendly, economical operation. There’s nothing like it on the market that combines such an elegant profile and large, social space.”
