2025 AB Inflatables Ventus 8 VL

Lightweight, full-length fiberglass deep-V RIB, designed for extra space, durability and performance. Here at AB, we created the Ventus as the perfect lightweight fiberglass performance tender. Due to its unique design, the Ventus requires very little horsepower, without sacrificing maneuverability. Whether you are cruising back to the marina for lunch or hosting a fishing trip, the Ventus packs a variety of features into one small, light package. Designed with a deeper freeboard, the Ventus is equipped with a spacious interior ensuring an enjoyable, stable and dry ride. Our larger sizes offer seating for up to six adults, while our smaller modes seats 4 adults. With an 820 CSM Orca® Coated Fabric on models from 8-10ft, it brings extra protection and with-it greater resistance and durability. Its integrated non-skid deck material also allows for extra safety and confidence on the water. Keeping up with our standards of safety, we designed the Ventus with an additional air chamber built into the hull. Designed to be easily hauled onto a deck or davits, it can also be pulled up on a sandy beach for shore excursions with ease. Four models available from 8 to 12 feet.
