2025 Goldfish X12 Explorer

The 2025 Goldfish X12 Explorer is a 40-foot rigid inflatable built for extended trips in varied conditions. Powered by three Mercury engines totaling 1,200 horsepower, it reaches a maximum speed of 40.5 knots and cruises at 21.6 knots. The hull is fiberglass, combining durability with the buoyancy and safety characteristics of inflatable design.

The cockpit features removable textile sides that allow quick conversion between an enclosed shelter and open-air configuration, adapting to weather and preference. A diesel heater warms the cabin for comfortable off-season use. The boat is fitted with Seakeeper Ride, an active stabilization system that makes up to 100 adjustments per second to optimize running angle and reduce pitch and roll, resulting in smoother, easier handling in rough water.

Below deck, the cabin sleeps two and includes a toilet, making the X12 suitable for overnight cruising and coastal exploration. The boat was delivered new in spring 2025 and has been used as a demo during the 2025 season, with condition rated as very good.
