Discover the Iconic Hunton 1005 RIB: Performance Meets Luxury

The Hunton 1005 RIB is an exceptional blend of high-performance engineering and refined British craftsmanship. Built in the United Kingdom and measuring 10 meters in overall length with a 2.75-meter beam, this sleek rigid inflatable boat redefines what’s possible on the water. Constructed with high-quality fiberglass (GRP), it offers a robust yet lightweight hull that enhances speed, stability, and efficiency across coastal and offshore waters. This vessel’s distinctive design by the Hunton Design Team combines sharp performance lines with elegant functionality, creating a boat that is equally suited for luxury day cruises, tender service to superyachts, or fast offshore trips.

Designed for thrill-seekers and connoisseurs alike, the Hunton 1005 offers unmatched stability and agile responsiveness. With a maximum speed of 50–60 knots depending on engine configuration, and a displacement of 3,000–3,500 kilograms (with engines), this RIB guarantees an adrenaline-fueled experience on every outing. More than just performance, this vessel includes luxury touches rarely found on RIBs—including a cabin and onboard bathroom—making it one of the most complete and versatile boats in its category.

Performance and Engineering Excellence

At the heart of the Hunton 1005 RIB lies a powerful propulsion system, capable of reaching exhilarating speeds of up to 60 knots. Its superior hull design, paired with lightweight GRP construction, delivers excellent lift and minimal drag. The efficient configuration offers not only high-speed thrill rides but also fuel economy and long-range cruising capabilities. Combined with noise-reduction engineering, even high-speed navigation is smooth and acoustically comfortable.

Precision handling is assured with electronic controls and a recently upgraded Garmin navigation system. The vessel is also equipped with a VHF communication radio, allowing for clear transmission at sea, and the onboard systems are intuitive and user-friendly, making navigation and maneuvering straightforward even for less experienced operators. The current engine hours stand at approximately 1,200—well within optimal performance thresholds—with a complete service history ensuring reliability and safety on every journey.

Refined Interior and Onboard Comfort

Unlike typical open RIBs, the Hunton 1005 goes a step further with the inclusion of a functional cabin area. Inside, you’ll find a compact bathroom—a rare and luxurious feature in vessels of this size—which adds tremendous convenience for extended day trips or weekend getaways. This makes the vessel not only a performance powerhouse but also a viable option for light cruising with increased privacy and comfort.

The interior finish is crafted with modern, marine-grade materials that balance durability with sophistication. Whether escaping for a quick nap or using the facilities, the thoughtful layout makes the space feel purposeful and welcoming. Storage compartments throughout the cabin and exterior deck ensure you can keep all gear, toys, and provisions safely tucked away, maintaining a clutter-free experience onboard.

Exterior Design and Social Space

The Hunton 1005 RIB’s layout maximizes outdoor usability, with wide passageways, cushioned seating zones, and a versatile deck area designed for sunbathing, socializing, or adventurous activities. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 10 passengers for day cruising, with deep V-hull performance and generous beam providing safety and ride comfort at all speeds. The hardtop roof offers protection from sun and spray, while maintaining excellent visibility and airflow for passengers and the helmsman.

Sunpad areas at the aft and bow invite lounging in total comfort, and an integrated swim platform allows easy access to the water. All upholstery is in excellent condition, with quality finishes designed to withstand sun and salt exposure over the long term. This RIB is ideal for entertaining, family use, or simply enjoying peaceful cruises with all the open-space benefits of a classic RIB, elevated by luxury enhancements.
