Sealegs International Limited has announced the release of the world’s largest amphibious production boat.

The Sealegs 12m Cabin RIB (or 12RC) is the culmination of over a decade of amphibious technology development and many months of detailed boat design, with input from amphibious engineers, naval architects, and Sealegs owners.

With a 12-metre overall length, up to twin 400hp outboards, massive 940mm diameter by 500mm wide tyres and a gross weight of 7500kg, the Sealegs 12RC is a monster craft with size, power and performance that’s unequalled in the amphibious boat market.
