2027 Rupert R8

The Rupert R8 is a 26-foot rigid inflatable built on two decades of refinement from the company's custom and professional craft heritage. Rated for CE Class B offshore use, it combines proven design with modern construction in fiberglass and inflatable tube construction.

Power comes from a single Yamaha 300 horsepower gasoline engine, delivering a maximum speed of 27 knots. The boat measures 9 feet across the beam, making it a capable performer for day running and coastal work across varied conditions.

The layout includes a jockey seat option for helm positioning. This R8 represents the production evolution of Rupert's celebrated 26-foot model, developed through years of use by racing teams, yacht tender operators, and private owners worldwide.
