Test / Ranieri Cayman 33.0 Executive, a coherent offering in a highly competitive market

Ranieri enters a crowded market segment

The world of RIBs has come a long way, and it's no longer unusual to find boats of 30 feet and over. The Ranieri Cayman 33.0 Executive enters a highly competitive market segment. What are its strengths and weaknesses? That's what we look at in this fourth and final part.

Twenty years ago, 10-meter RIBs were still the exception, but now they're a must in any builder's range. As a result, there's a lot of competition in this segment, and not just from Italian shipyards. To gain a foothold, you need to come up with an accomplished product, but also rely on the reputation of a well-known brand.

Ranieri International has built up a solid reputation for its well-designed, well-built and constantly evolving semi-rigid boats. The Cayman 33.0 Executive can therefore rely on the brand's image. Where it now makes the difference is with the comfort available and the standard equipment, two elements that enable the shipyard to join the club of premium brands such as Joker, Lomac, Nuova Jolly and so many others.

Finally, with this model equipped with a double-step hull, the Italian manufacturer also proves that it knows how to build sporty, efficient hulls in choppy waters.

Well-established competition

Facing him will be boats like the Joker Clubman 32, the Lomac Granturismo 10.5, the Nuova Jolly Prince 30 Sport Cabin, the BWA Premium 30 or the Capelli 1000 WA, and the list goes on.

In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, the Ranieri can also count on a relatively attractive price tag, a well-stocked equipment list starting with the standard version, and numerous options for customizing the boat. In fact, the bareboat version is priced at around ?155,000, and at around ?280,000 with a twin engine, which is still a good price compared with the competition.
