A rigid inflatable built on this scale changes the question. The Novamarine BS 260 does not simply enlarge the RIB, she turns it into a seagoing yacht in her own right, at 26 metres and with power options reaching a combined 4,400 horsepower. Novamarine has built her reputation in Sardinia on fast open hulls, and the BS 260 is the shipyard’s clearest statement yet, a maxi RIB conceived to rival far larger cruisers for speed and openness while keeping the direct, uncluttered relationship with the sea that defines the category. The first hull sold before her 2028 delivery, a strong signal that the market has been waiting for exactly this. For an owner who wants genuine pace, a wide, sociable deck and none of the formality of a conventional flybridge yacht, the BS 260 is a considered answer.

Performance

Forty knots at the top, and the numbers only get more serious from there.

The BS 260 is offered with twin MAN V12 diesels as standard, with twin MTU units, a combined 4,400 horsepower, and Volvo Penta IPS pod drives available as alternatives. Cruising speed sits at 30 knots, with a 400 nautical mile range from her 4,000 litre fuel capacity, figures that put her closer to a serious offshore cruiser than a conventional tender or day boat. A 1.5 metre draught and 5.5 metre beam give her the stability to carry that power confidently, while keeping access to shallower anchorages that deeper hulled yachts of comparable length cannot reach.

Exterior Design

She reads as a RIB first, a yacht second, and that order is deliberate.

Novamarine’s in-house design team has kept the low, purposeful profile that defines the Black Shiver range, scaled up without losing its proportion. Large glazing and roof openings run through the protected saloon amidships, bringing light into a space that still feels connected to the open deck around it. Novamarine describes the BS 260 as the largest RIB of its kind on the water, a claim built on genuine scale rather than marketing alone. At 26 metres with a 5.5 metre beam, she carries a footprint most maxi RIBs do not attempt, and her hull is shaped to hold a confident, planing attitude at speed rather than simply surviving it.

Layout

An open aft deck and a sheltered saloon give her two very different ways to spend a day at sea.

Aft, built in sofas sit at the stern with direct access to the water, the natural gathering point once the anchor is down. Forward of that, the saloon offers two facing sofas and a dining table under cover, a space built for when the sun or the wind makes the open deck less inviting. Below, she sleeps up to eight guests across two cabins, with a crew of two aboard to run her, a modest but workable arrangement for a yacht of this speed and scale. Day capacity rises to twelve, reflecting her role as much as a fast day yacht as an overnight cruiser.

Engineering

Scale like this still has to behave like a small boat when manoeuvring in harbour.

Her hull is built in GRP for a lightweight, durable structure, with a planing monohull configuration chosen for stability at speed and manageable handling at low speed alike. Novamarine’s engineering department has carried the shipyard’s experience with fast open hulls directly into the BS 260, scaling up systems proven on smaller Black Shiver models rather than starting from a blank sheet. Navigation and safety systems are built to the standard expected of a yacht intended for serious offshore passages, not just coastal days out, a detail that matters once an owner starts planning longer runs along a coastline rather than short hops between anchorages.

Ownership & Specification

At just over two million euros new, the BS 260 occupies a category of her own, faster and more open than a comparable motor yacht, built with a more serious hand than a standard RIB.

Delivery is scheduled for 2028, and the first hull found her buyer well before then, an early signal of how this model is being received. New pricing starts at approximately 2,100,000 euros, a figure that reflects her unusual combination of scale, power and construction quality rather than headline luxury features. For an owner drawn to speed, a wide and sociable deck plan, and a shipyard built around fast open hulls, the BS 260 offers something genuinely difficult to find elsewhere in her size range.
