AB 11 VSX

2023 AB Mares 11 VSX - the most compact, and powerful tender in it's class with a reliable and quiet Honda 40HP motor still under warranty.

This is the ONLY RIB in 11ft range that can be powered by a 40HP motor. Quick hole shot, great acceleration, outstanding performance in calm or rough seas. 

Easily ferry 4 adults in available cushioned seats, plus plenty of space for goods and bags.

Take it out fishing, crabbing, or just sight seeing the gorgeous PNW coastline.

Total package weight is under 550lbs, including the engine, which makes it ideal for SeaWise, and other transom mounted davit systems.

The AB Mares 11 VSX is the pinnacle of premium tender design, delivering an unmatched blend of performance, durability, and sophistication. Stretching 11'4" with a deep-V fiberglass hull and high-pressure hypalon/PVC tubes, this RIB is engineered to handle open-water chop with confidence while remaining nimble enough for tight marina maneuvers. Every curve and contour has been purpose-built for the discerning yacht owner who refuses to compromise — whether docking alongside a superyacht or racing across an anchorage.

Power comes courtesy of the Honda BF40 — a 40HP four-stroke EFI outboard that sets the standard for marine propulsion in its class. Whisper-quiet, fuel-efficient, and instantly responsive, the Honda's electronic fuel injection delivers smooth acceleration from idle to full throttle, while its robust 4-stroke architecture means dramatically less maintenance and longer engine life compared to two-stroke alternatives. Whether cruising at a leisurely pace or pushing the 11 VSX to its performance ceiling, the BF40 delivers consistent, reliable power you can count on.

The 11 VSX's feature-rich deck layout makes every outing effortless. A cushioned bow bench, ergonomic helm console, stainless steel fittings, and generous storage compartments provide both comfort and practicality for guests and crew alike. The inflatable sponsons offer a forgiving, stable boarding platform — ideal for water sports drop-offs, snorkeling excursions, or simply ferrying guests from shore to ship in style. Teak accents and high-quality upholstery ensure the 11 VSX looks as refined at anchor as it performs underway.

The AB Mares 11 VSX paired with a Honda 40HP outboard is more than a tender — it's an extension of your yacht's lifestyle. Backed by AB Inflatables' decades of Italian craftsmanship and Honda Marine's world-renowned engineering, this combination offers unparalleled resale value, low cost of ownership, and the confidence that comes from owning two of the most trusted names on the water. Don't settle for less when your vessel deserves the best.
