AB Navigo 9 VS 9’6″ Fiberglass Open RIB Yacht Tender

Description

Using a hand-laid fiberglass deep-V hull with a double molded deck system, the AB Inflatables Navigo 9 VS is a 2.90 m, or 9 ft 6 in, open fiberglass rigid inflatable boat and yacht tender. A non-skid surface covers the flat fiberglass deck, while three buoyancy chambers use ORCA CSM 1100 dtex fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams. Plan lifting, trailer, storage, and dock arrangements around the 105 kg, or 231 lb, net weight.

ISO capacity is four persons, and the 430 kg, or 948 lb, maximum payload applies to combined passenger and cargo loading. The transom requires a 15-inch short-shaft outboard, with 9.9 HP recommended, 15 HP maximum, and a 52 kg, or 115 lb, engine-weight limit. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves serve the three buoyancy chambers, while CE Category C applies to the stated inshore and coastal classification.

Hull, Deck, and Capacity

An internal length of 2.11 m, or 6 ft 11 in, and an internal width of 0.79 m, or 2 ft 7 in, define the stated usable hull space. A 0.41 m, or 16 in, tube diameter accompanies the deep-V fiberglass hull, flat deck, double molded deck system, and three buoyancy chambers.

Included equipment consists of a bow locker with integrated seat and cushion, fiberglass molded seat, non-skid deck, heavy-duty rub rail, stainless steel bow and stern lifting rings, and self-bailing valve. Use the Leafield C7 Push-Push valves for the tube system, then keep passenger, payload, outboard-power, and engine-weight figures within the stated limits.

Why Choose the AB Inflatables Navigo 9 VS Rigid Inflatable Boat

The Navigo 9 VS rigid inflatable boat combines a 2.90 m fiberglass deep-V hull with an open deck, molded seating, bow locker, stainless lifting rings, and three ORCA CSM buoyancy chambers. Its 105 kg net weight, four-person ISO capacity, 430 kg payload rating, 15-inch short-shaft requirement, 9.9 HP recommended power, 15 HP maximum power, and 52 kg engine limit provide useful comparison details for an open fiberglass yacht tender.

Setup and Outboard Considerations

Included components cover a bow locker with integrated seat and cushion, fiberglass molded seat, non-skid deck, heavy-duty rub rail, stainless steel bow and stern lifting rings, and self-bailing valve. Match the transom with a 15-inch short-shaft outboard, then keep engine output at or below 15 HP and engine weight at or below 52 kg. Inflate the three buoyancy chambers through the Leafield C7 Push-Push valves.

Before Ordering the AB Inflatables Navigo 9 VS Rigid Inflatable Boat

Confirm that your lifting, trailer, dock, and storage plan supports the 2.90 m overall length and 105 kg net weight. You should use a 15-inch short-shaft outboard, select 9.9 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 15 HP or 52 kg engine weight, and remain within the four-person and 430 kg maximum capacity limits.
