Final countdown to Plymouth Boat Fest 2026
Plymouth Boat Fest 2026 will bring marine technology, leisure boating and live demonstrations to Mount Batten this June.

In collaboration with the dealer Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales, from 12 – 16 February – at the Herald Plaza – the boatyard will be displaying 3 representatives of the Rebel range which, with its unmistakable design, has revolutionised the boating industry, bringing the spirit of maxi-ribs to 40 – to 60 -foot boats, creating a new market segment. These models combine innovation, style, ease of use and safety, encapsulated in the D-fender concept.


The event will mark the American debut of the Rebel 50G. Equipped with two Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines, the model is exhibited in its Forward Lounge version which provides a space furnished with a long U-shaped sofa and, in its centre, an extendible table that can become a very large dining area or a living with sun bed and cushion, depending on the different needs. This space is separated from the covered portion of the deck and the wheelhouse by a full-height glass door that provides the owner with an air conditioned environment and visibility toward the outside. Two below-deck cabins complete the interior furnishings to ensure the ultimate on-board experience with a high level of comfort and functionality, optimising space to best meet the needs of life at sea. Also on display at the MIBS the Rebel 40, fitted with dual 600-hp outboard engines, and the Rebel 47, which has triple outboard engines, again 600 hp.
Thanks to its distinctive design and state-of-the-art technical solutions, the Rebel range is driving Sacs Tecnorib’s growth, generating 39% of overall turnover in 2024. The brand’s expansion strategy in the Americas is well mapped out, with the region currently accounting for approx. 15% of the global market share.
