The 2023 Northstar Orion 8 is a 26-foot luxury RIB built for cruising and tender work. Its Evo-2 stepped hull design prioritizes stability and strength across high-speed operation, while the composite construction keeps weight managed. A single 300 hp Yamaha engine powers the boat; it carries a maximum rating of 350 hp.
The open layout includes a helm console with stainless steel grab handles, an aft passenger area with flip-up seating, and a foldable table for convenience. Storage runs throughout with large compartments and an acrylic glove box fitted with USB charging. The swim platform integrates a stainless steel ladder for water access.
Standard equipment reflects thoughtful provisioning: Silvertex upholstery on seating surfaces, Hypalon tubes, tempered glass windshield, hydraulic steering, automatic bilge pumps, navigation and basic cabin lighting, telescopic cleats, and a 36-liter Igloo cooler. The electrical system supports the lighting and navigation suite.
