AB Mares 12' VSX

Compact, lightweight & practical

The Mares may be the most perfect, compact molded-in console yacht tender available. When it's time to get to the beach or that hidden fishing spot, the Mares is the go-to boat. This fiberglass sport console RIB also has the driest ride in the industry, making it equally perfect for carrying yacht owners and guests in style to the marina for an evening out on the town.

Built for people who use their boats in a wide range of conditions, the Mares features a durable fiberglass hull designed for stability and superior handling. Though lightweight, its rugged construction ensures years of dependable service. The Mares has four lifting points, making it simple to haul this lightweight RIB up on to davits or a deck.

With a very comfortable cushioned seating area, a roomy non-skid deck and a long list of standard features, the Mares is the ideal family tender. Storage abounds in a center console, flip open rear seat and concealed bow locker. Owners and friends will surely appreciate the boat's smooth, dry ride and host of amenities, whether the Mares is being called on for short trips to shore or an afternoon of leisurely exploring the local waters.
