Ocean Craft Marine 8.5 RIB

2021 OCEAN CRAFT MARINE 8.5M RIB – THE ULTIMATE V8 OFFSHORE TOY

28 Feet of Pure Adrenaline | 350HP V8 Power | Exceptional Ride Quality

If you're looking for something different from the ordinary, this one-off Ocean Craft Marine 8.5m RIB is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes. Combining commercial-grade construction with recreational comfort, this is a serious offshore performer that delivers an incredible ride in virtually any conditions.

Built in 2022 by Ocean Craft Marine (OCM) of Annapolis, USA, a world-renowned manufacturer of specialist RIBs for military, law enforcement, rescue, and commercial operators, this vessel shares the same robust engineering and heavy-duty construction found in their professional fleet.

Unlike most OCM vessels, however, this example was built as a recreational RIB, creating a rare opportunity to own a unique and highly capable offshore boat.

Trailer included in the sale.

At 8.5 metres (28 feet) in length and displacing approximately 2.3 tonnes lightship, this is no lightweight inflatable. The substantial deep-V hull, combined with premium Hypalon tubes, delivers an exceptionally soft, stable, and confidence-inspiring ride. Whether you're cruising with family, heading offshore to fish, diving remote reefs, or simply enjoying a day on the water, this vessel handles it all with ease.

Power comes from a low-hour MerCruiser 6.2L V8 producing 350 horsepower, paired with a Bravo III sterndrive featuring counter-rotating propellers for outstanding grip, manoeuvrability, and performance.
