AB Ventus 12 VL 12′ Lightweight RIB Yacht Tender

Description

The AB Ventus 12 VL 12′ Lightweight RIB Yacht Tender eliminates excessive deck weight strains and sluggish acceleration tracking during weight-sensitive luxury yacht tender transits, fast shore-to-ship shuttle services, and payload-optimized beach launching setups. Running forcefully with up to a 30 HP outboard engine, this lightweight open rigid inflatable boat coordinates a hand-laid molded high-density fiberglass ultra-light single V-hull to replace heavy alternatives completely. Yacht captains can execute fast beach portages safely, letting the structural fiberglass rigidity slice through white-water rollers flawlessly down to maximum payload limits.

Featuring a hand-laid fiberglass reinforced transom structure and three main tube chambers, the robust Orca five-layer carbon/CSM premium Hypalon performance fabric utilizes vulcanized technology to prevent critical seam separation. The high-performance 12-foot lightweight hull delivers an expanded 1499 lbs maximum payload capacity, managing a maximum engine weight of 187 lbs cleanly via 17.0-inch oversized side tubes. Procuring this premium Colombia-manufactured rigid hull package establishes precise power-to-weight structural reliability, backed by an elite 10-Year fabric and seams and 5-Year hull structural limited protection warranty plan.
