RIB680B
At 6.8 metres long with a 2.52 m beam, the RIB680B is the longest model in the Wavefella range —a full-size commercial-grade RIB designed to handle 200 HP outboards and payloads up to 1,350 kg across 7 air chambers. Featuring dual front and rear cabin seating with cushions, a stainless steel ski bar, and a 100 L built-in fuel tank as standard, this model is equally prepared for passenger transport, dive support activities, and heavy-duty expedition towing. The spacious deck layout and 10-person certified capacity make it the ultimate choice for commercial operators who demand maximum capability from a trailerable RIB.

Technical Features
- Hull: CE-certified hand-laid fibreglass deep-V hull with a 2.52 m beam and reinforced offshore construction. At 6.8 metres, the 680B delivers the longest waterline in the range, translating to superior directional stability and seakeeping in challenging conditions. Self-bailing deck. Hull colours: white, navy, battleship grey, black, or custom RAL.
- Tubes: 52 cm diameter with 7 independent air chambers providing maximum safety margins and buoyancy for the 1,350 kg max load. Tube colours: black, grey, white, orange, red, or blue. Hypalon upgrade recommended for extended tube life in demanding sun exposure.
- Deck & Layout: Centre console with windscreen, dual front and rear cabin cushions, seat box, fibreglass anchor tray, 100 L built-in fuel tank, and stainless steel ski bar for towed activities. The targa arch with 3 navigation lights is standard. Optional luxury console, shower system, and electric anchor winch enhance operational capability.
- Engine & Performance: Accepts outboards up to 200 HP (149.13 kW). With 150—00 HP, expect cruising speeds of 26—2 knots and top speeds of 36—4 knots —ideal for fast offshore transit, passenger transport schedules, and heavy-load towing operations.
- Safety: 7-chamber construction provides exceptional redundancy. Bilge pump, targa arch with 3 navigation lights, stainless steel boarding ladder, full-length grab lines, and stainless steel handrails for secure movement in rough conditions.
- Manufacturing & Quality: Hand-laid GRP hull with isophthalic polyester resin and UV-stable gelcoat. Tubes assembled via hot-air thermofusion welding. Hull structure vacuum-bagged. Every hull water-tested for 72 hours.

Ideal Uses
The RIB680B is built for boaters, fishing enthusiasts, dive operators, and marine professionals who need a 6.8 m RIB capable of carrying up to 10 persons for offshore expeditions, commercial diving support, and extended fishing trips with superior comfort and equipment. The 200 HP rating, spacious dual-cabin layout, and ski bar make it equally well suited to high-speed passenger charter operations, dive support where deck space for tanks and gear is critical, and heavy-duty towing applications such as inflatable tow toys or research equipment.
