The Cantieri Opera 60 is a 60-foot rigid inflatable built in 2008, one of only two units produced with Cummins twin diesel engines. Powered by dual QSC 8.3 HO engines delivering 600 horsepower each, the boat reaches 39 knots at top speed and cruises at 30 knots. The fiberglass hull with Kevlar reinforcement measures 18.4 meters in length with a 5.6-meter beam, and is designed for stability and performance in varied water conditions.
The boat underwent a complete refit in 2015–2016 that included extensive structural and mechanical work. The hull received Kevlar reinforcement, engines and drives were fully overhauled, and new Hypalon tubes were fitted. The exterior was entirely repainted in jet black with a protective clear coat finish, and grey silver deck paint was applied. New cork decking, navigation electronics, audio system, and interior upholstery were installed throughout.
The layout features two cabins and one head. The aft cabin has a double berth, while the forward cabin combines a salon area with a lowerable table that converts to a double bed. The head includes an electric toilet and shower. The deck is appointed with a wet bar island featuring a cooler box, sink, and induction cooktop, plus two cockpit tables with adjustable legs and dual hot/cold showers. Storage and fresh water capacity total 400 liters, with dual diesel tanks of 1,000 liters each.
Systems throughout are comprehensive: dual electrical platforms support 12-volt domestic and 24-volt engine power, with air conditioning, diesel heating, a 3.5-kilowatt generator, and an integrated FM-200 fire suppression system. Navigation equipment includes Furuno Navnet chartplotter and 3D radar, AIS-B, VHF radio, autopilot, and GPS compass. Engine hours are logged at 590. The boat is certified for up to 45 passengers inshore and 35 offshore.
