The next generation 2019 Venom 44 embodies Ribco’s unwavering commitment to quality, engineering and testing to ensure confident, agile and faultless operations while at sea.”

Front lining the Ribco 2019 model releases, the next generation Venom 44 vessel offers all the luxury and high-performance features of its predecessor while featuring a new spacious deck design layout with eight individual hydraulic cockpit seats for ultimate comfort. The latest Venom 44 model includes all electronically operated hatches and is fitted with the smooth, refined power of triple Mercury Verado V8 engines to deliver an exhilarating acceleration and top speed to run offshore with confidence.

From luxury tender to offshore performance machine, Ribco RIBs are positioned as the most seaworthy, versatile and well-built luxury performance RIBs available in the market today. This was confirmed with the recent appointment of Ribco as official chase boat partner for the Australian SailGP Team. The Ribco range of superior performance RIBs were showcased alongside the turbo-charged foiling F50-class catamarans during the inaugural global SailGP race on Sydney Harbour, 15th – 16th February 2019.

About the Ribco 2019 Venom 44

The Venom 44 is a sleek 13.5-metre vessel that moves with confidence, agility and speed. With solid fibreglass composite hull, durable Hypalon tubes, hand-laid teak decking, a new spacious deck design with eight individual hydraulic cockpit seats and huge rear sun lounges, the next generation Venom 44 is the ultimate tender and luxury day boat.

The 2019 Venom 44 features all electronically operated hatches and is fitted with the smooth refined power of triple 300 hp Mercury Verado V8 engines to deliver an exhilarating acceleration and top speed to run offshore with confidence. The Venom 44 is set apart from most premium RIBs on the market in that it offers true offshore capability. It has Category B certification, which means it is capable of voyages 200-nautical-miles offshore and is also in 2D survey with a 10-person + 2-crew capacity. With its seven-bulkhead hull construction, the Venom 44 can withstand winds of force eight and waves of up to four metres.

The cockpit of the Venom 44 is completely sealed, and the self-draining deck means no water gets into the bilge. Its tubes are made of Hypalon fabric from French Manufacturer Orca and has no glaring external seams, unlike other major RIB brands.

The 2019 Venom 44 next generation can also run at full speed with the tubes completely deflated and is delivered standard with three 300hp V8 Mercury Verado engines. The Venom 44 does not skimp on luxury, with two large sleeping cabins, a large centre console concealing a spacious toilet and shower space, a wet bar and fridge, a Nespresso machine and a top of the line JL audio system.
