RIB680A
The RIB680A enters the large RIB class with a 6.6-metre hull rated for powerful 200 HP outboards and a 1,350 kg payload capacity across 7 air chambers. Whether deployed for commercial charter, dive support operations, or serious big-game fishing, this model balances substantial carrying capacity with the responsive handling of a 500 kg deep-V hull. A standard 150 L built-in fuel tank provides the range needed for extended offshore expeditions, while the integrated live well makes it a dedicated platform for serious anglers.

Ideal Uses
The RIB680A is perfect for boaters, fishing enthusiasts, dive teams, and commercial operators requiring a 6.6 m RIB rated for 10 passengers and capable of offshore cruising, big-game fishing expeditions with live well, and expeditionary transport in demanding marine environments. The 200 HP rating and 150 L fuel tank make it a serious contender for high-speed patrol, long-range dive charter, and commercial fishing operations where power, range, and live-bait capability are essential.
