Twisted Scorpion 36GT
The Twisted Scorpion 36GT is a high-performance Grand Tourer RIB built in Lymington, England. Twisted Marine revived the iconic Scorpion brand, combining proven offshore hull design with bespoke luxury finishing. Powered by twin Mercury V10 400 HP Verado outboards as standard, the 36GT reaches 55 knots with reports of up to 70 knots in press tests. The deep-V stepped hull features a Hypalon collar, compact interior toilet, wet bar behind helm seats with optional fridge and ice maker, aft dining station, and convertible bow seating.

Fifty five knots is the number on the spec sheet. Seventy is the number her sea trials have already beaten.
Standard power comes from twin Mercury V10 outboards rated at 400 horsepower, enough to put her at 55 knots in regular use. Twisted also offers a lighter twin 350 horsepower Mercury option for owners who want to trim the top end back, and a diesel inboard configuration for those who need her as a chase boat or who simply cruise where petrol is harder to find. During an independent sea trial for Boat International, the boat reached 60 knots before the throttles were eased off, with Twisted’s own team confident the remaining ten were there for the taking. A 900 litre fuel tank backs up that performance with the legs to use it properly.
Look closely at the collar and you are looking at three decades of RIB building.
The 36GT keeps Scorpion’s deep V hull, descended from the earlier Silurian model, entirely as it was: Twisted’s brief was to refine the boat around it, not replace it. The tapered Hypalon collar’s seamless, cone shaped tube ends are the work of Jamie Wheeler, the long serving Scorpion tuber whose technique other builders have since copied, and who returned to the factory once Twisted took the brand on. Black anodised rails, a synthetic teak deck and a forward Samson post with its own drum winch give her the look of a boat built for serious offshore use, not just a marina showpiece, while a custom boarding step and concealed deck level spotlights carry the detailing through after dark.
A performance RIB that still finds room for a wet bar is rarer than it should be.
Behind the helm seats sits a wet bar that can be specified with a fridge and ice maker, turning a stop at anchor into something closer to a proper lunch than a fuel break. A fold out dining table and full width seating replace the usual aft bench, and the cockpit itself is fitted with individual wraparound seats, offshore leaning posts and a pair of twelve inch Simrad NSX displays at the helm. A compact head is built into the console, so the boat can genuinely be used for a full day on the water rather than a quick blast. Up to fifteen guests can be carried for the day.
Three different bow treatments mean no two 36GTs need feel the same.
Buyers choose between three bow configurations, the most sociable of which pairs wraparound seating with a deep deck locker that doubles as the base for a central cushion and sunpad. It is a small detail that says a great deal about how the 36GT is meant to be used: fast when the driver wants it, but genuinely comfortable to sit still in once the anchor is down. At eleven metres overall and 3.25 metres across the beam, she is large enough to spread a group of fifteen day guests around the deck without anyone feeling crowded, while staying light and quick enough to still deserve the GT badge.
Every 36GT is built, not assembled, and that takes time.
Each hull is hand finished at Twisted’s Lymington yard, with around ten boats targeted for completion in the RIB’s first full year of production and a lead time of roughly sixteen weeks once an order is placed. That bespoke approach sits on top of a genuine competition pedigree: Scorpion RIBs have held record times on routes including Round Britain, Round Ireland, London to Monte Carlo and Poole to Cherbourg since long before Twisted bought the brand out of administration in 2024. At around three tonnes dry, the 36GT carries that history forward as a boat built to be driven hard and finished properly, rather than one built simply to be looked at.
