Sirocco Marine will present the largest display of Rigid Inflatable Boats at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.

Sirocco Marine will return to the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, 21 to 24 May for the 37th edition of this iconic boating lifestyle showcase, with the industry's largest display of RIBs from leading international brands.

Spanning BRIG, Zodiac, Williams and Sirocco, the display will feature 25 boats from 2.9 to 10-metres - something for everyone, from roll-up tenders in the Sirocco range to high-performance day boats from Zodiac and BRIG.

Proudly made in Ukraine, the BRIG range will be represented by the flagship Eagle 10, plus the Eagle 8, 670, 6 and 5, all manufactured to the highest quality from premium ORCA Hypalon® fabric, with durable, lightweight fiberglass/GRP hulls, and an array of lifestyle features as standard.

Also on show for the first time is the rugged 6.2-metre BRIG Navigator 20, which will have huge appeal with a broad range of boaties for use as a tender or a standalone day boat, offering a fully customisable platform for up to eight people.

From Zodiac, the Medline range is positioned as "floating oases". The range spans 5.8 to 9-metres, with all the features and extras available for family cruising and water sports, such as large sunpads, U-shaped lounges, and ample storage, suitable for full days on the water. The Medline 9 has a cabin with electric toilet, spacious deck with bow and aft lounges, transom shower, kitchenette and pop-up picnic table.

As pioneers of the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), Zodiac has been innovating since the 1930s and is the choice of explorers, coastal patrol services and watersports enthusiasts.

European-designed Sirocco Inflatables are known for their durability, performance and value. They start at 2.2-metres with the Super Lite/Roll Up range which is up to 50 percent lighter than the nearest competitor and so compact they are the ideal stowable tender for sailing and motor yachts, up to a 5.2-metre centre console model with capacity for 10 people.

On the water, visitors will be able to inspect the classic Sirocco 730i Gentleman's launch - a head-turning, shaft driven, day boat powered by a 52hp Vetus diesel-inboard and ideal for the Broadwater, Sydney Harbour or Port Phillip.

Built in Europe to impeccable standards with a beautiful finish, the Sicocco 730i provides plenty of room on board for picnics, watersports or island hopping. Features include a large swim platform, high back cushions and wrap around seating which are perfect for entertaining, plus room for a portable toilet under the bow.

At SCIBS 2026, the four Sirocco Marine dealers from Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast are looking forward to speaking with owners and enthusiasts about their boating needs.

Sirocco's highly visible and extremely practical hats will be available from their stand, protecting from UV and promoting the country's most experienced RIB specialists.

"SCIBS is Australia's premiere boat show," commented Ryan Slater, Director of Sirocco Marine Queensland.

"It captures the boating lifestyle perfectly with the Marine Village location, great atmosphere and fantastic range of boats people can compare. It's always great hearing from owners about their adventures on their RIBs."
