With the Cayman 33.0 Executive, Ranieri International has significantly raised the level of comfort on board. In terms of aesthetics, the newcomer takes on certain characteristics of the brand's other models, starting with the rear polyester section ending well above the floats, or the large bow block supporting solid cleats and speakers on the inside, and also serving as a step for disembarking on a quay, which is a nice touch.
The RIB also features an optional T-Top with a somewhat unusual profile, reminiscent of American fishing boats, with a ladder-like side structure, as if you wanted to use it to reach a Tuna tower. As well as enhancing the look, this T-Top offers good protection for the pilot and co-pilot, and allows various items to be attached to it.
The Cayman 33.0 also rests on 65 cm (2.1 ft) diameter floats with a rather elegant round rear end. The console follows the general lines of the other models, with an aerodynamic profile and a protective windscreen, but not too high so as not to break the line.
Meticulous design for a premium positioning
Vintage after vintage, the Italian brand has never ceased to improve its boats, offering ever more thoughtfully designed interiors, improved finishes and good equipment. The 33.0 Executive marks a real acceleration in this process. As soon as we step aboard, we are struck by the quality of the interior design.
This starts with the two rear side passages, which are wide and level with the bathing platforms. Between these passages, the rear bench seat has a reversible backrest that allows you to sit in the traditional way or with your back to the road, perfect for nautical activities at anchor or if you're towing a skier or a buoy.
Opposite this bench seat is a table and, pleasantly, two bench seats folded into the planking can form a real dining area. This space can also be converted into a sunbathing area, and the aft bench seat also conceals a large storage area containing the battery switch, bilge pump and fuel filter.
A complete outdoor kitchen
Leaning against the leaning-post, the Ranieri features a complete outdoor galley with sink and space for a stove or grill, while a refrigerator is located in the lower section. In addition to its practicality, the Ranieri also boasts a high quality finish, with rigid hoods equipped with hydraulic jacks .
A large solarium across the front
The forward section is mainly dedicated to a large solarium for two or three people, with an additional bench seat in front of the console. At the very front, the cushion lifts up to provide access to the anchor locker, or rather to the windlass chain, as the Ranieri benefits from a stationary anchor.
Then there's the console, and here again, the company has drawn on its experience to offer an ergonomic dashboard capable of accommodating two large screens, throttle, joystick and all the necessary switches. The windscreen isn't very high, but it's enough to protect the rider from the wind, while the two solid handrails on the sides are appreciated.
