Joker Boat, known for its comfortable semi-rigid boats for pleasure boating, launches its first model dedicated to fishing and equipped as standard for the delight of fishermen: the Coaster 650 Barracuda. A simple but well equipped RIB for fishing with small storage tips to make life easier for fishermen.

The Coaster 650 Barracuda is a 6.57 m semi-rigid made of 1800 decitex neoprene hypalon. Designed on the same basis as the Coaster 650, it uses the same hull. It is at the level of the plan of deck that the difference is made since this new semi-rigid is intended for the world of fishing. The deck layout of the Coaster 650 Barracuda is designed for fishing with a hand shower and seawater pump, but with a sunbathing area at the bow, for comfort and relaxation.

On the bow, under the sundeck, there is a large storage locker with a metal door and a technical access. At the front of the console - which is borrowed from the Clubman 22 - a bench seat houses another storage box, while the backrest covers the access to the technical area.

The console is rather simple with a standard hydraulic steering wheel, and protected by a large windshield and a stainless steel t-top with rod holders. Handrails on the console make it safe to move around on board, while on the starboard side, in the console, there is a clever storage area for hooks and other small fishing accessories.

The pilot's seat is wide enough to accommodate 2 people and has a livewell with a seawater pump and a freshwater shower at the stern.

The aft of the cockpit is left empty for fishing and both floats are fitted with rigid parts at the stern that can be used as a cutting board or shelf and to hold rod holders. Backrests on the inside of the floats make the boat more comfortable for fishing.

The Coaster 650 Barracuda has many standard features (bilge shower, deck hose, bathing platforms with ladder and light, self-bailing deck, complete upholstery...) and receives between 115 and 200 hp outboard. Numerous colour customisation options are available (upholstery, hypalon, polyester...).

Imported in France by HEP, the Coaster 650 Barracuda is sold for 32 490 euros (VAT included) without engine.
