Sirocco Marine will present a massive line-up of Rigid Inflatable Boats at this year's Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, 22 to 25 May on Queensland's Gold Coast.

Some of the world's most respected RIB brands will be on show in Sirocco's traditional position along Masthead Way.

"We will fit as many boats in as we can in the space," said Neil Webster, Sirocco Marine Managing Director.

"We will have a large range of BRIG boats across the popular models: 6, 6.7, 8 and 10m which are the most versatile and in demand. Also on show, the all-new Navigator range from BRIG - the Navigator 22, 24 and 26."

At the top end, the BRIG Eagle 10 is always a head-turner at every boat show. At 10.2-metres, it's powered by twin 300hp engines and boasts a top speed of 50 knots, and with an array of features that make it the most versatile and best value day boat and weekender on the market.

Its deep-V-hull ensures a smooth, dry ride. It's more stable, lightweight and low-maintenance than its hard-sided counterparts, and with room for up to 16 people, it has a capacity double a 10-metre fibreglass boat.

Features include comfortable seats, a convertible table and sun deck, sink unit that can accommodate a fridge/stove, stern swim platform with folding ladder and outdoor shower kit, plus a well-appointed cabin with double bed.

The world's leading brand of RIBs, BRIG returned to production in 2023 after a brief suspension of trade due to the conflict and to ensure the safety of their workforce.

Sirocco Marine is the largest RIB dealer network in Australia and has been the exclusive Australian distributor for BRIG since 2006, awarded BRIG International Dealer of the Year for five consecutive years.

Zodiac boats will share the limelight with BRIG on the Sirocco Marine display at SCIBS 2025, showcasing the popular Medline range in the 6.8, 7.5 and 9m models.

"Zodiac is renowned as the pioneer in RIBs, since the 1930s," Webster stated. "Visitors to SCIBS are going to love the larger models, particularly the Medline 9, which is a real 'private oasis' - both luxurious and extremely practical."

At 9-metres with a 3-metre beam, the Medline 9 is the largest in the Zodiac range.
A versatile centre console RIB, it features two large relaxation areas - a double bow and rear U-shaped lounge aft, convertible to a sundeck space - plus a sleeping cabin with porthole windows, integrated kitchen, plenty of storage compartments, and bathing platform with deck shower and telescopic boarding ladder for safe and easy access to the water.

Rated for up to 20 people, the Medline 9 offers a myriad of options and accessories to customise your vessel to suit your requirements: diving, fishing, watersports, island hopping and safe family boating. Powered by twin 350hp engines, the Medline 9 reaches a thrilling top speed of 55 knots.

Sirocco Marine will also exhibit the full range of Sirocco brand RIBs, including the new Sirocco V6, which replaces V580, and the V650. The smaller range of Sirocco alloy RIB tenders has been expanded to include new models: A300Q, A300L and A390Q.

Sirocco dealers from all over the country will be on hand at SCIBS 2025 to provide expert product information and customer support.
