For the first time in Australia, Sirocco Marine will present models from the entire Zodiac range of RIBS, 20 different Zodiac models on display at the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, spanning four to nine metres, including the global boat show launch of the all-new Medline 9.

Specialists in RIB tenders and day boats, Sirocco Marine will have the biggest selection of the world's most respected brands on show at SCIBS 2023, comprising Zodiac, Northstar, Sirocco, Williams and BRIG.

On display for the first time at a boat show anywhere in the world, the Zodiac Medline 9 will attract plenty of attention for its size and features.

At 9-metres, the Medline 9 is the largest in the range. A versatile day boat, it features two large relaxation areas - a double bow and rear U-shaped lounge aft, convertible to a sundeck space - plus a sleeping cabin with porthole windows, integrated kitchen, plenty of storage compartments, and bathing platform with deck shower.

Rated for up to 20 people, the Medline 9 offers a myriad of options and accessories to customise your vessel to suit your requirements: diving, fishing, watersports, island hopping and safe family boating.

French brand, Zodiac is recognised as the pioneer of the inflatable boat, with the tagline of "125 years of air and water".

Today, Zodiac is represented by 1,600 dealers worldwide and has sold more than 1 million boats. At SCIBS 2023, Sirocco Marine will also present three of the latest model Williams Jet Tenders, the impressive 8-metre Northstar Orion 8 performance RIB, and several RIBS from the Sirocco range - both aluminium and fibreglass hulled.

For owners and fans of the BRIG brand, there will be two BRIG Eagle 8s on display. Impacted in the first months of the war in Ukraine, the team at BRIG has now returned to work and the factory is back to production and exporting once again to international markets.

Neil Webster, Sirocco Marine Managing Director said this year's RIB showcase is the largest he has presented at SCIBS, where he's exhibited for 18 years.

"Anybody into RIB boating will be spoilt for choice. We will have an unrivalled variety of brands and models on show, particularly in the larger sized vessels, 7, 8 and 9-metres, which are proving very popular as stand-alone boats and support vessels."

The Australian boating public will be able to view the range of Zodiac inflatable boats on display at Sirocco Marine's stand on Masthead Way at the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, 25 to 28 May 2023.
