ZODIAC Hurricane rigid inflatable boats are tender and tough in all the right places. The wraparound inflatable collar is both a stabilizer that assures smoother handling in even the roughest seas, and a fender that cushions against hull damage during boarding operations.

ZODIAC Hurricane's computer designed, commercial grade hull is reinforced in all the right places. Its computer designed lifting stakes generate high lift at low speed. This deep "V" design provides excellent high speed maneuverability and unsurpassed sea- keeping ability, all the reasons why ZODIAC Hurricane is the choice of professional users worldwide.
