This 2018 Redbay 1650 Explorer Cabin RIB is a 55-foot offshore-capable rigid inflatable boat built to withstand demanding sea conditions. The hull employs substantial structural reinforcement and exceptional lay-up weights, with a design drawn from the same principles used in pilot boats and commercial craft. Twin Volvo Penta diesel engines producing 1,600 horsepower deliver a maximum speed of 37 knots and a cruising speed of 25 knots.
The boat accommodates three cabins and two heads, offering hand-built interior appointments throughout. The robust construction and seaworthy hull design combine to create a capable platform for operation in challenging waters and variable weather conditions.
The fiberglass hull and reinforced structure reflect Redbay's focus on offshore performance and durability, making this RIB suited to serious cruising and extended operations in demanding environments.
