Highlights and Debuts from Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025

Sacs Tecnorib made a striking return FLIBS, held from 29 October to 2 November. The Italian shipyard presented three standout models from its Rebel range – the Rebel 40, Rebel 55 (both in outboard versions) and the Rebel 50 Forward Lounge.

This appearance formed a key step in the company’s expansion across the United States, where the Rebel line has become synonymous with luxury and performance. The Rebel series combines Italian design with exceptional handling, redefining the Maxi-RIB concept for boats between 40 and 60 feet. Its hallmark D-fender unites the practicality of a RIB with the spacious comfort of a cruiser.

The Rebel 40 focuses on agility and safety, while the flagship Rebel 55 showcases power and stability with a refined, dynamic aesthetic. The Rebel 50 Forward Lounge delivers versatility through its convertible seating and walkaround design, ideal for social boating in comfort and style.

Distributed in Florida by Yacht-X, the 13.8-metre model designed by Alex Cherigny combines high performance with sociable design. It features classic sunpads fore and aft, a versatile dining area seating over ten guests, and a carbon-fibre hardtop integrating a JL Audio system. Below deck are two double cabins, one convertible into a lounge, with the option of a third cabin.

Powered by triple 400-hp Mercury Verado outboards, the Max 44 R achieves 55 knots, or near 60 knots with Yamaha XTOs.
