Apex A-12 Open RIB – 12-Foot Inflatable Dinghy

Description

At 3.65 m, or 12 ft, the Apex RIBs A-12 Open pairs a deep-V fiberglass hull with an open molded fiberglass deck and a non-skid surface. Three buoyancy chambers use ORCA Hypalon 1100 dtex fabric with cold-bonded hand-laminated seams. The 115 kg, or 253 lb, net weight should be included in the planned lifting, trailer, dock, storage, and outboard arrangement.

ISO capacity is five persons, and the 520 kg, or 1,146 lb, maximum payload applies to passenger and cargo loading. A 15-inch short-shaft outboard matches the transom configuration, with 15 HP recommended, 25 HP maximum, and a 75 kg, or 165 lb, engine-weight limit. High-flow 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 2.75 m, or 9 ft, and an internal width of 0.85 m, or 2 ft 9 in, define the stated usable hull space. A 0.41 m, or 16 in, tube diameter accompanies the fiberglass deep-V hull, open deck, and three-chamber tube configuration.

Included equipment consists of a removable fiberglass rowing bench, oars with oarlocks, non-skid deck, bow eye, stainless steel towing rings, and heavy-duty rubbing strake. Keep passenger loading, payload, outboard shaft length, engine output, and engine weight within the stated limits.

Why Choose the Apex RIBs A-12 Open Rigid Inflatable Boat

The A-12 Open rigid inflatable boat combines a 3.65 m fiberglass deep-V hull with an open molded deck, removable rowing bench, oars, bow eye, towing rings, and three ORCA Hypalon buoyancy chambers. Its 115 kg net weight, five-person ISO capacity, 520 kg payload rating, 15-inch short-shaft requirement, 15 HP recommended power, 25 HP maximum power, and 75 kg engine limit provide useful comparison details for an open yacht tender.

Setup and Outboard Considerations

Included components cover a removable fiberglass rowing bench, oars with oarlocks, non-skid deck, bow eye, stainless steel towing rings, and heavy-duty rubbing strake. Select a 15-inch short-shaft outboard before rigging, then keep engine output at or below 25 HP and engine weight at or below 75 kg. Inflate all three buoyancy chambers through the high-flow Push-Push inflation valves.

Warranty and Support

Apex RIBs provides a 5-Year Limited Warranty covering Hypalon tubes and the fiberglass hull. Mulmarine.com can help you review the 3.65 m hull dimensions, 115 kg net weight, 520 kg payload limit, short-shaft outboard requirement, and 75 kg engine-weight limit against your lifting, trailer, storage, dock, and propulsion plan before purchase. Review the stated warranty coverage and documented included components before ordering.

Before Ordering the Apex RIBs A-12 Open Rigid Inflatable Boat

Confirm that your lifting, trailer, dock, and storage plan supports the 3.65 m overall length and 115 kg net weight. You should use a 15-inch short-shaft outboard, select 15 HP as the recommended power level, avoid exceeding 25 HP or 75 kg engine weight, and remain within the five-person and 520 kg maximum capacity limits.
