Experienced mariners will instantly spot what sets the Oceanus apart: a wide array of standard and optional features create a sporty and dynamic RIB ready for anything. The generous space aboard the Oceanus range of RIBs is a result of our unique forward-hull design. This stylish yet functional layout provides a comfortable ride, with ample storage for gear or the day’s provisions. Built with an extra-deep V-hull, the Oceanus cuts through chop while keeping passengers dry. These boats were originally designed for the Italian Coast Guard and are used by many yacht clubs and professional organizations around the world as well as sport enthusiasts.
