The AB Mares 12 VSX Console RIB is 12' long and 6' wide, weighing 337 lbs for the boat alone and 647 lbs with the engine, with Hypalon tubes, a deep-V fiberglass hull, a capacity of 5 persons or 1,895 lbs, and a maximum motor rating of 40hp Long Shaft, rigged with a Yamaha 40hp outboard.

Whether you're exploring local harbors, cruising to waterfront restaurants or heading ashore from your yacht for a night out, the AB Mares 12 VSX is an ideal luxury tender for California boaters. Its comfortable seating, intuitive controls and smooth ride make every trip relaxed and easy.

The Mares 12 VSX is built on a durable fiberglass hull designed for stability, superior handling and confidence in the changing conditions along the California coast. Its single molded-in fiberglass deck keeps the ride quiet, solid and dry, even in choppy afternoon water, and while it's lightweight, it's exceptionally tough for years of dependable service as a main tender.

Inside, the Mares delivers the comfort and convenience yacht owners expect: cushioned seating, a protective console windshield, a non-skid deck and a long list of standard features. Storage is plentiful, with a flip-open rear seat and a concealed bow locker that keep gear organized and out of the way. Four lifting points make it easy to hoist onto davits or upper decks, so it fits right in on yachts cruising the California coast. All in all, the AB Mares 12 VSX blends luxury, performance and practicality into a standout yacht tender that delivers comfort, capability and style on every trip to shore.

AB Inflatables is known worldwide for premium RIBs and tenders built with tough Orca® Hypalon fabric and hand-laid fiberglass or aluminum hulls, made to handle harsh sun, salt water and rough conditions. That's why AB boats are a favorite for everyone from weekend boaters and yacht owners to professional crews.
