2005 Protector RIB 8.75m for Sale – 29 ft – Marbella, MA, Spain

A very special Protector RIB bought for private use in 2008 after it was built for and used in the Americas Cup 2007 as a support boat in Valencia. It has been owned, enjoyed, and carefully maintained by one family ever since. This includes a complete professional restoration in 2023, new tubes, new decks and new upholstery, as well as new Evinrude 200 G2 200 HO engines in 2019. 

Certified for 12 passengers under Category B Offshore, she is a true go-anywhere vessel, combining exceptional capability with impressive comfort and a top speed of 50 knots.

She has been maintained professionally regardless of cost and would make a great family boat or serious tender. Currently available in the south of Spain with a rented mooring if needed.

Viewings are highly recommended and available at your convenience.
