The Argos Nautic 396 has Room to Spare

Plus, lots of cool options.

The tender, when fully rigged, displaces 925 pounds, making it hoistable with a davit aboard midrange cruising yachts. Argos Nautic

The Argos Nautic 396 stands out among similar-size RIBs for two reasons. One is her interior volume. The 13-foot-6-inch-long RIB has a beam of 6 feet 8 inches, creating legroom for as many as five people, more than can fit comfortably aboard some other boats of this length.

The second reason is her myriad options. Owners can choose colors, textures and finishes, including those that match the little boat to the 70- to 100-foot yachts this tender is designed to service. Power is a 40 to 70 hp outboard.

Whom It’s For: The 396 is a logical choice for the owner who wants some bespoke options aboard a davit-ready RIB that can fit the whole family.

Picture This: You’re anchored just off Stocking Island in the Exumas region of the Bahamas, and across the water you see fun at the Chat ‘n’ Chill is in full swing on the beach. Your wife feels like chatting. You feel like chilling. The kids just want to feed the stingrays.

And there’s room for everybody to head ashore aboard the Argos Nautic 396.
