At 15.65m in length, the new Roughneck 52 is said to be the largest RIB ever built by a Dutch brand.
Roughneck’s new flagship has been designed for high-speed performance together with providing luxurious comfort.
“In true Roughneck fashion, the Roughneck 52 boasts sleek, low-profile lines that embody the essence of speed,” said Ronald Oosterman, Roughneck founder and director.
Features of the RIB include a sunpad on the aft deck large enough for three people plus additional seating for three forward-facing adults, a toy storage unit doubling as a second cabin, and an optional electrical awning.

The cockpit can seat 12 guests to cruise in style and also has a wet bar, with a passage behind connecting both sides of the boat.
For added comfort, an optional hydraulic passerelle doubles as a swim ladder. Towing hooks at the bow and a self-bailing open cockpit enhance functionality as a chase boat for superyachts.
The Roughneck 52 features the brand’s customary deep-V stepped hull, for stable and safe high-speed driving and improved fuel economy.
Various engine options are available from a triple Mercury 400 V10 or 500R outboard setup to a double Mercury 600 outboard version.
Down below the main cabin has a double bed, storage, and a full-height wet cell including a toilet and shower.
Natural illumination is provided by an overhead glass panel. A second cabin with a double bed can be configured beneath the aft deck’s sunpad.
