⭐ About the Rigid Boats Sport Series
Rigid Boats, built in Southwest Florida, earned a strong reputation for producing some of the most durable and seaworthy small craft in the industry. Key characteristics of the Sport series include:
• Fully foam filled composite hulls — no inflatable tubes, no punctures, no air chambers
• Deep V running surface — unusually smooth and dry ride for a 12 foot boat
• Zero absorption foam — hull cannot waterlog
• Exceptional stability — nearly impossible to swamp; maintains buoyancy even when flooded with the power head remaining above water
• Premium fit and finish — widely used as yacht tenders for vessels 50–100 ft
• High resale demand — discontinued production has made clean examples extremely desirable
These boats were often compared favorably to Nautica, Novurania, and AB tenders, but with the advantage of a solid composite collar instead of inflatable tubes.
