This 2018 Cobra Nautique 9.7m stands out as a premier example of British craftsmanship, combining a high-performance deep-V hull with the rare advantage of a Volvo D6 370hp inboard diesel engine. Capable of 46 knots, this vessel offers a refined and economical alternative to the common outboard configuration, making it an ideal choice for a long-range coastal cruiser or a sophisticated superyacht tender. The twin-chine design ensures a dry, stable ride, while the upgraded 450L fuel tank provides the endurance needed for longer trips and passages. The specification is exceptionally high, featuring grey tubes with carbon accents, custom shock-absorbing helm seats, and synthetic teak decking throughout. For social use, the deck offers comfortable Silvertex seating for six, an integrated dining table, and a day head, complemented by a Garmin electronics suite and Fusion audio. Having been kept on a Versadock and professionally serviced every year, this two-owner RIB is presented in excellent condition and represents a unique opportunity to acquire a versatile, diesel-powered performance RIB.
