The UK’s leading RIB and Inflatable boat building, Avon Inflatables, alongside authorised UK dealer BHG Marine Ltd, is launching the new, highly anticipated Adventure 850 at this year’s RIBEX, from 9th – 11th May. Making its UK debut, the 850 is a fast yet comfortable RIB that is perfect for adventure loving enthusiasts as well as those choosing day trips with family and friends.

At 8.50m (27’10”), the 850 is the largest model in the popular Avon Adventure range. Known as the pacesetter in the 4x4 market at sea, the big, bold and powerful Adventure RIBs offer outstanding performance thanks to their rugged, deep-V hulls. Renowned for their impressive speed and stability, these craft are also simple to manoeuvre, providing a safe, easy ride even in rough seas.

The 850 is supplied as an open boat manufacturer allowing customisation of the deck layout including marine seats and console, to marine suit the owner’s requirements. This model also benefits from removable buoyancy tubes which allow for easy maintenance, high gunwales to protect the tubes and a large 400 litre marine fuel tank providing an extended cruising range, ideal for spending a full day out on the water.

The Adventure 850 is available with single or twin engine for boat options enabling the customer to choose an engine to suit their boating needs. The craft can be powered by up to 300hp from a single engine or by twin 225hp engines. The Category C load capacity is 2800kg, allowing 20 passengers onboard the craft at any one time.

The Adventure 850 open model is competitively priced from £24,362.00 including VAT according to engine option and layout configuration. The marine boat seen on the water at RIBEX is priced at £47,500.00 including VAT.

The BHG Marine stand is a must see at the show, with a further three models including the 410 and 580 from the Adventure range on display. The on-water display includes the Adventure 580 alongside the new 850.
