RIBS to the rafters

Sirocco Marine Queensland is filled to the gunwales with rigid inflatable boats, representing the world’s leading brands and spanning 3 to 12-metres.

“As fast as containers arrive and we commission the boats, they are sold, which is a nice problem to have,” said Ryan Slater, Director at Sirocco Marine Queensland.

“We are currently preparing a Zodiac 5.5 Open which is headed to Hong Kong as a tender for an 80-foot motor yacht which is headed back to Australia. There are loyal Zodiac owners and then there is an entirely new generation discovering the brand and both are excited to have a dedicated distributor in Australia offering full service and support nationwide.”

Sirocco dealers from around Australia will attend this year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show and present their largest display in their 18 years of attending the show.

The line-up will comprise 20 different Zodiac models from four to nine metres, including the Australian launch of the all-new Medline 9, Northstar Orion 8, three of the latest model Williams Jet Tenders, two BRIG Eagle 8s and several RIBS from the Sirocco-branded range.

“Sirocco provides national sales, service and support and has close ties with engine manufacturers,” said Managing Director, Neil Webster.

“We think people will be amazed at the diversity and choice available in RIBS,” he added.

“Zodiac invests heavily in R&D and has sold more than a million RIBS. We are looking forward to exhibiting the full line-up of new Zodiac models to SCIBS, covering the Medline, Open and Pro ranges – suiting difference uses and conditions.

“This will be the first time visitors to an Australian boat show will be able to see the entire Zodiac range all in one place.”
