RIB580A

Stepping up to 5.8 metres, the RIB580A offers greater carrying capacity and a higher 115 HP power rating than its smaller siblings, making it a versatile platform for offshore expedition transport and serious deep-sea fishing. Its 2.38 m beam and 450 kg fibreglass hull provide a stable, confident ride even when loaded to its 1,200 kg maximum with 8 persons and equipment. Standard equipment includes a centre console, seat box, front and rear cabin cushions, 90 L built-in fuel tank, and a fibreglass or stainless steel targa with 3 navigation lights.

Ideal Uses

The RIB580A is built for boaters, fishing enthusiasts, marine professionals, and commercial operators who need a 5.8 m RIB capable of carrying 8 persons for coastal patrols, offshore fishing expeditions, and water sports in demanding marine environments. The 1,200 kg payload capacity and 90 L fuel tank make it especially well suited to extended offshore charters, expedition support, and multi-day fishing trips where payload and range are critical.
