Nordkapp unveils the new Airborne 5.4
Nordkapp has introduced the Airborne 5.4, the latest addition to its Airborne RIB line-up and a new compact model aimed at delivering practical versatility alongside performance-led handling.
Compact size with practical thinking
At 5.44m in length and 2.4m in beam, the Airborne 5.4 has been designed to make the most of its footprint. Nordkapp says the model uses a straight bow design to extend the waterline, helping it behave like a larger boat while keeping the overall package compact. The boat can carry up to six people, has a 100-litre fuel tank and is rated for outboards up to 115hp.
Espen Thorup, Nordkapp’s house designer, has created an exciting new addition to the Airborne series, with a strong focus on maximizing every inch of the boat for practical use.
This flexibility makes the 5.4 well-suited for both Scandinavian and international markets.

Layout, seating and onboard flexibility
Nordkapp is offering customisation in both the bow and aft sections, along with two console seating arrangements. Buyers can choose between a twin chair styled set-up for side support and comfort, or a bolster arrangement for a more active driving position. The company also highlights high storage volume and a layout intended to keep both passengers secure and gear dry and organised.

Performance focus at the helm
On the driving characteristics of the Airborne 5.4, Thorup says:
“When you take the helm, you should feel that this is a serious performance RIB. The driving position is secure, the ergonomics support you properly at speed, and the boat responds in a way that feels controlled. That confidence is important.”
