2005 Protector RIB 8.75m

This 2005 Protector RIB measures 28.71 feet in length with a 9.51-foot beam and is powered by twin Evinrude engines producing 400 horsepower combined. Built with a fiberglass hull, the boat was originally constructed as a support vessel for the 2007 Americas Cup in Valencia before entering private use. It is certified for 12 passengers under Category B Offshore rating.

The boat underwent comprehensive professional restoration in 2023, which included new inflatable tubes, new decks, and new upholstery. In 2019, the engines were replaced with new Evinrude 200 G2 models. The single cabin provides basic overnight accommodation, and the open design suits both family cruising and serious tender work.

The boat has been maintained professionally throughout its ownership and continues to perform at a top speed of 50 knots. Its construction and offshore certification make it capable across a wide range of conditions, balancing capability with comfort for extended time on the water.
