At eleven metres a rigid inflatable stops being a tender and becomes a boat in its own right. There is enough hull length to carry a deep vee forward, enough beam for a proper console and seating, and enough tube volume to keep the ride dry when the sea turns short and steep. The result is a craft that will run to an island for lunch at thirty knots and come home again in a building afternoon breeze without drama.
Owners come to the eleven metre RIB for different reasons. Some want a fast, forgiving day boat that a family can handle without crew. Others want a serious chase boat for a larger yacht, capable of ferrying guests, divers and provisions in open water. The selection below brings together both, from open consoles built for speed to cabin versions with a berth and a heads forward.
Every eleven metre RIB listed here has been reviewed for engine hours, tube condition and structural integrity before it reaches this page.
