How can it be that Zodiac RIBs use half the fuel than its competitors? Simple physics. Zodiacs were originally conceived with the weight constraints of shipboard davits in mind, so naturally they are lightweight. 37% lighter in fact on average.

Less weight means less fuel consumption, less necessary horsepower to reach plane, even less powerful tow vehicles!

But in addition to weight considerations, seaworthiness and ride comfort could not be comprised. Zodiac RIBs are designed with deep-V hulls and buoyancy tubes so that the vessel rides low and steady in the water, which delivers unparalleled ride comfort and seaworthiness.

It’s nearly impossible to capsize a Zodiac, much less cause one to sink. Fast bailing scuppers permit the entire boat to fill with water and remain afloat, emptying itself with any forward movement.

Mothers, fathers, and grandparents can all rest assured of the safety of their family in a Zodiac RIB. The buoyancy tube doubles as a wrap around fender, thus eliminating docking dings, rafting dangers, and passenger injury.
