11 m
Tornado 11m — Our Most Advanced Commercial-Grade RIB
The Tornado 11m is our newest and most advanced hull design, created for demanding commercial operators who require reliability, efficiency, and exceptional offshore capability. Built for intensive daily use, it is a favourite among passenger transport companies, dive centres, whale-watching operators, charter services, security teams and professional maritime operations.
Despite its size, the 11m remains agile, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable to drive. With an average bare-boat hull weight of approximately 1500 kg, it delivers outstanding performance while maintaining excellent fuel economy.
Key Features
Next-Generation Deep-V Hull
The 11m introduces a new evolution of our signature Deep-V geometry, engineered for maximum comfort and stability in rough conditions.
Its advanced hull form provides:
- Smooth, soft landings in choppy seas
- High stability at speed and during turns
- Fast acceleration and excellent fuel efficiency
- Predictable, controlled handling for professional operations
Progressive spray rails minimise water on deck and reduce drag, ensuring a dry, comfortable ride for passengers.
Commercial-Grade Construction
Every component of the Tornado 11m is built for durability and long service life, even under heavy daily workloads.
- Polymer-core composite construction for a strong yet lightweight structure
- Reinforced laminate skins engineered to prevent micro-cracking
- Inflatable tubes in polyurethane (PU) — over 10x stronger than PVC or Hypalon, fully UV-resistant and ideal for harsh commercial environments
This combination creates a rigid, quiet and extremely robust platform suitable for continuous professional use.
Performance & Efficiency
The 11m performs exceptionally with modern outboards or inboard installations. Its optimised weight and hydrodynamics result in:
- Impressive top speeds
- Fast planing even when fully loaded
- Low fuel consumption per mile
- High stability in all operating conditions
- Excellent range for long-distance routes
Perfect for commercial operators who need speed, efficiency and reliability throughout long working days.
