A pretty versatile inflatable craft, this zodiac-style, RIB will serve you well whether as a tender on board your yacht, as a fishing inflatable or as a cruising vessel. Bear in mind this is not a speedy boat like Sport Boats’ Shark 9.8’, but equipped with the maximum 5 HP it’ll get you where you need to go at a gentle cruising speed. The floor can inflate to a rigid state that was pretty stable to stand on.
It also makes it easier to pack up this relatively long dinghy when stashing on the bow or aft of your ship. Inflating and setting up the Bris 8.2 is, in fact, one of the biggest appeals.
