THE KING MAKER

Director of King Watercraft, Will King is known for producing smaller RIB tenders for high value vessels in both jet and conventional outboard power versions.

The K5000 is a step up from previous designs, developed to suit the superyacht market, as well as customers looking for a high quality, family friendly RIB that fits in a standard garage. To achieve this, the arch for the T-top folds down using electric actuators to achieve the clearance needed.

The vessel is built in marine-grade aluminium with Hypalon tubes. The aluminium is powder coated to give a high-quality finish and the hull form draws on King Watercraft’s successful design pedigree and extensive experience to achieve both straight line and cornering performance.
