The new semi-rigid boats presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival

Cannes Yachting Festival 2017

Here is a selection of semi-rigid boats that will be presented for the most part in world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Not to be missed!

Brig Eagle 10

Brig, the Ukrainian shipyard that offers a wide range of RIBs for various uses, is now targeting small cruising with the Eagle 10. The brand's largest model - 9.90 m - will be equipped with a double cabin, a galley, a convivial saloon and several sunbathing areas to enjoy a long sail with family or friends. The performance side will not be neglected, however, since it will be equipped with the latest Suzuki outboard: 2x350 HP! (read the presentation of the Brig Eagle 10 )

BWA 40 WL Ribitaly

The BWA 40 WL is the largest model in the Ribitaly Premium range. With a length of 12.60 m it has a rather modern and sporty design. There are two large sunbathing areas at the front and rear (with a nice bathing platform), a U-shaped saloon with a folding table, a central steering console with a double bench seat as well as a cabin with a double berth, saloon, toilet and shower. It will be proposed with a double 400 hp engine (mini: 2x300 hp/maxi: 2x500 hp).

Pirelli 1900 - Tecnorib

The Pirelli 1900 is a 19 m giant capable of reaching 45 knots in top speed! 2x800 hp, surface propellers, step hull... Everything is gathered for a sportive navigation! Below deck, as well as on the outside, comfort is maximized: large sunbathing areas, bathing platform, large cabins... The largest model in the range is based on the design of the Pirelli 1400, but will offer larger common areas for social life. (read the presentation of the Pirelli 1900 - Tecnorib )

Prince 33 SC - Nuova Jolly

Nuova Jolly's Prince 33 SC was presented in its prototype version at Nautic 2016. This 10.20m model retains the elegance and sportiness of the Prince range, and in particular of its big brother, the Prince 35 SP. The aft cockpit houses a dinette saloon with a table on an electric jack that converts into a sundeck. The leaning-post houses a kitchen while the console contains a double cabin with an enclosed bathroom with toilet. With 2x 350 HP (maximum power), it easily reaches 50 knots (read the presentation of the Prince 33 SC - Nuova Jolly )

W7i - Wimbi boat

The W7i (for inboard) completes the range from below, already composed of three models: W9, W10 and W6 and will be declined in outboard version as the other models. The W7i is based on the same concept as the W9 and W10, with a swim platform at the rear and the saloon at the front, as well as the pronounced V-shaped hull. With a hull length of 6.89 m, the W7i is not subject to the famous "francisation" tax. Three engine options are available: Ballade (200 HP), Cruising (250 HP) and Sportif (300 HP).

Seair Flying Rib 5,5 Seair

On July 12, 2017, SEAir launched a slightly modified Zodiac 5.50: a RIB that incorporates foils and sails over water! A foil is installed under the hull. It has the shape of a V and fits perfectly under the redan and the flanges. The motorization is standard (read the presentation of the Seair Flying Rib 5,5 )

Capelli Tempest 38

The new Tempest 38 retains the typical Mediterranean style of Capelli shipyard productions. Built in vacuum infusion, it has a length of 11.90 m and is entirely produced and manufactured in Italy. The aft deck reveals a convivial space made up of 2 meridian seats that can be transformed into a vast sunbathing area of 2.5 m2 thanks to a clever hydraulic system integrated into the cockpit table. The leaning post multiposition (sitting or standing) characteristic of the Capelli style receives a kitchenette. At the front, the Tempest 38 has a second sun deck. Finally, the centerpiece of this novelty is a spacious interior cabin with a double berth and a separate toilet. It receives a maximum engine of 2x350 hp.
