Apex A-9 Open RIB – 9-Foot Inflatable Dinghy

Apex A-9 Open RIB 9′ – Compact Fiberglass Utility Inflatable

Overcoming the limitations of roll-up dinghies, the Apex A-9 Open delivers 9 feet of rigid-hull strength in a highly manageable format. This model features a deep-V fiberglass entry specifically engineered for American boaters who refuse to compromise on tracking and stability even in a sub-10 foot boat. For the USA captain, the A-9 Open offers a dry and safe platform for guest transport, featuring a rugged fiberglass bottom that is impervious to the abrasion of sandy beaches and rocky shorelines found across the United States coastal regions.

Fully compliant with USCG safety regulations, the Apex A-9 Open utilizes multi-chambered Hypalon tubes for superior air retention and puncture resistance. The boat includes an integrated bow locker and a non-skid floor for secure footing during boarding in busy marinas. With an 8 HP maximum power rating and a payload capacity of 948 lbs, this model offers a dependable, low-maintenance workhorse for the American boater who demands structural integrity and portability in a high-quality 9-foot utility package.
