Sitatunga Range
Compact Capability Without Compromise
The Sitatunga is a compact and highly capable RIB designed to deliver dependable performance in shallow water and coastal environments. Lightweight, manoeuvrable, and easily deployable by trailer, the Sitatunga offers a versatile solution for a wide range of leisure, support, and rescue applications.
Built with practicality and usability at its core, the Sitatunga combines rugged construction with intelligent design features to create a vessel that is equally comfortable operating as a family day boat, tender, or dedicated rescue platform.
Versatile by Design
The Sitatunga has been developed to perform effectively across a variety of roles while remaining simple to transport, launch, and operate. Its compact size and shallow water capability make it particularly well suited to coastal operations, inland waterways, support duties, and rapid deployment scenarios.
The vessel's practical layout allows operators to maximise onboard space without compromising manoeuvrability or performance, creating a highly adaptable platform for both recreational and professional use.
Practical Onboard Functionality
A distinctive feature of the Sitatunga is its hard bow enclosure, designed to provide secure and dry onboard storage while enhancing operational practicality. The enclosure can also accommodate integrated marine equipment including:
-
DSC VHF Radio
-
Chartplotter Systems

Anchor Equipment
This thoughtful integration of essential equipment helps maintain a clean and functional deck layout while ensuring important systems remain protected from the elements.
Agile and Responsive Performance
At 5.5m in length and powered by a tiller-steered outboard engine, the Sitatunga delivers fast, responsive handling with excellent manoeuvrability in confined or shallow water environments.
