AB Oceanus 12 VST 12′ – Performance Fiberglass Console RIB
Overcoming the handling limitations of small utility tenders, the AB Oceanus 12 VST features a precision-engineered fiberglass hull designed for speed and agility. This 12-foot console RIB is a favorite for American yachting families who prioritize a dry, smooth ride during harbor transits. The deep-V hull geometry provides superior tracking and stability, offering the USA operator the premium feel of a larger sportboat in a compact footprint that fits easily on the swim platforms of many mid-sized American cruising yachts from the Chesapeake Bay to the Florida Keys.
Fully compliant with USCG safety regulations, the Oceanus 12 VST is built with heavy-duty Hypalon tubes and a reinforced fiberglass deck for long-lasting durability. The integrated console is ergonomically designed for the American captain, featuring comfortable seating and a built-in 10-gallon fuel tank for streamlined operation. With a 40 HP maximum power rating, this model provides American boaters with the range and performance needed for coastal exploration, snorkeling trips, and reliable transport between the yacht and the marina dock in any USA maritime hub.
