Grip is the word TecnoRib keeps coming back to, and on the water it shows.
Twin Volvo Penta D6-400 diesels drive her as standard, and a stepped hull takes her to a cruising speed of 30 knots and a top end of 45. Owners who want more can specify twin Mercury 450R or Yamaha 425 outboards instead, trading a little range for outright pace. A 1,000 litre fuel tank gives 300 nautical miles at cruise, enough for a full day out and the run home without a second thought. The twin step hull, drawn by Ocke Mannerfelt, holds her line hard through a turn rather than sliding wide, the kind of composure that separates a genuinely fast RIB from one that is merely quick in a straight line.
Look closely at the tubes and the tyre brand’s own tread pattern runs the length of them.
It is a small detail that sets the tone for the whole boat. Ocke Mannerfelt, a Swedish designer with a background in racing hull design, drew both the hull and the exterior lines, and the welding across her stainless steel fittings is finished cleanly enough to survive close inspection at the dock as well as at speed. A hardtop shelters the helm and carries integrated speakers through the deck, while a folding starboard step and well placed handrails keep boarding and moving about secure once she is up and running. Nothing about the exterior reads as an afterthought, from the anchor locker forward to the transom aft.
She is built to be lived on, not just driven.
Sun pads sit forward and aft, giving guests somewhere to stretch out whether the boat is moving or moored. Amidships, a convertible backrest folds down to open a table for eight day guests, the cockpit’s social centre once the anchor is down. Aft, a wet bar and barbecue turn the transom into a proper entertaining space rather than a place to simply step off the boat, useful on a long lunch stop as much as a sunset run home. It is a layout built around groups, not solitary cruising, and it shows in how much of the deck is given over to sitting rather than moving through.
Below decks she keeps things simple, one cabin for two.
The accommodation is built for a couple rather than a full crew, in keeping with an open boat designed to be run without permanent crew aboard. It suits her role well: a fast, sociable day boat that can also deliver an overnight escape when the moment calls for it, without the complexity of a larger yacht’s crew quarters and service areas. The finish below reflects the same craftsmanship as the deck above, built to feel considered rather than merely functional. For an owner who wants speed by day and the option of staying out for the night, the single cabin is enough, and no more than that.
At 450,000 euros, she sits at the top of Pirelli’s open range.
TecnoRib engineers her in house, and the Mannerfelt partnership behind the hull and exterior design carries real pedigree in the performance RIB world. Eight day guests, two sleeping and no crew required keep her firmly in the fast, sociable day boat category rather than the crewed motor yacht one, and that positioning is exactly the point: for an owner who wants proper speed, sharp handling and a genuinely social deck without stepping up to a larger crewed yacht, the Pirelli 42 makes a clear and confident case.
