Defender 430 Fiberglass RIB 14'1" - Rescue Red 2025 Edition
Description
The 2025 Defender 430 Fiberglass RIB is a mission-ready rigid hull inflatable boat designed for rapid response and offshore versatility. Built on a hand-laid fiberglass deep "V" hull, this 14' 1" boat is engineered to track straight and remain stable even in turbulent coastal waters. The Rescue Red edition is specifically tailored for agencies and professionals who require high awareness on the water while benefiting from the durability of a rigid platform.
Constructed from high-tensile 1,100 Decitex PVC, the Defender 430 features 19-inch diameter tubes that provide exceptional freeboard and buoyancy. The open deck design includes a non-skid diamond pattern surface and an integrated bow locker for secure storage. Capable of handling a 40 HP outboard, this RIB is the ideal choice for rescue support, coastal patrol, or as a high-performance yacht tender for those who refuse to compromise on safety.
