Sealegs launches 12m amphibian

Written by

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.

With an extensive list of options, the Sealegs 12RC can be tailored to meet owners’ needs: up to four berths, a fully enclosed and lockable cabin with panoramic windows, dual retractable electric sunroof, galley with stove, sink and fridge, dining table, toilet and a push-button retractable boarding platform.

Featuring Sealegs large-format System 100 amphibious technology, the all-wheel-drive craft delivers 9000 Newton-metres of torque through its hydraulic wheel motors. Top speed on land is up to 8kph and nearly 40 knots afloat.

The first Sealegs 12RC craft has been sold to a European client with construction already underway. Further orders will commence delivery in 2021.
