The Jcraft 290 (2.9m RIB)
The Jcraft 290 is a small boat that packs a large punch. It’s ideally suited to someone looking to combine the thrills of a personal water craft with the benefits of a conventional RIB. Versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications whether you are taking out the family, fishing or simply ripping up the water with friends these little boats will just keep you smiling.

High on design features this boat looks stunning as the standard Sports model but add a few extras and they become a luxurious high speed tender that out performs the rest. This RIB is small but powerful, weighing in at 75 kg it’s designed to handle a maximum outboard engine rating of 30hp. This combination of weight and power results in a very quick, sure footed RIB and with a top speed of 42mph recreational sports such as waterskiing and wakeboarding are built into this little boats character. Storing the 290 is no problem either, with its compact spec they simply tuck away in a garage or can be mounted with ease off the back of a larger boat ready for the next adventure.
