Technical Features

• Hull: CE-certified hand-laid fibreglass deep-V hull with a 1.96 m beam — slightly narrower than the 430A/B, improving hull efficiency while maintaining stability. Hull colour gelcoat options include white, grey, navy, red, or custom RAL.
• Tubes: Hypalon/PVC tubes with 48 cm diameter — the largest on any 430 model — and 4 independent air chambers for maximum buoyancy and safety margin. Choose from black, grey, white, orange, red, or blue tube colours.
• Deck & Layout: Centre console with integrated windshield, front and back cabins with cushions, stainless steel back rest with built-in roller, and a stainless steel arch roll bar carrying 3 navigation lights. Includes a 50 L built-in fuel tank and fibreglass step ends as standard.
• Engine & Performance: Supports outboard engines up to 40 HP (29.82 kW). The 200 kg hull planes easily, and the built-in fuel tank extends operating range without cluttering the deck with portable tanks.
• Safety: 4 air chambers, standard bilge pump, and the arch roll bar with 3 navigation lights improve visibility and all-round safety during early morning or evening operations.
• Manufacturing: Hand-laid fibreglass hull with vinylester resin. Tubes assembled using thermofusion welding for leak-proof seams. Every hull tank-tested for 48 hours prior to fitting.
• Certifications: CE approved under the EU Recreational Craft Directive. ISO 9001 quality management system. Hull warranty 5 years, tube warranty 2 years.
• Customisation: Full customisation available — choose tube and hull colours, console layout, seating configuration, and graphics for fleet, government, or OEM orders.

Ideal Uses

The RIB430C appeals to boaters, fishing enthusiasts, marine professionals, and commercial operators who want a fully equipped 4.3 m RIB for coastal and sea operations without the need for extensive dealer fit-out. It is especially well suited to those who value a windshield, built-in fuel tank, and integrated lighting from day one for expedition support, watersport towing, and light commercial duties.
