A new era for the iconic Scorpion RIB range is upon us. Made in Lymington, England, Scorpion RIBs is now a part of the Twisted Marine family: Its legacy will live on. With improved designs coupled to formidable hulls, Scorpion will be placed as one of the best RIBs in the world.

With nearly 30 years of offshore racing and long-distance world records, Scorpion is proven to deliver a soft, comfortable and safe ride with outstanding performance and fuel efficiency. Scorpion RIBs are regarded by many as the best handling boats they have ever experienced.

Race bred heritage

From their inception in 1996 it’s been clear that nothing compares or competes with a Scorpion RIB – they’re better handling, with a softer drier ride, and always a pleasure to drive. By the early 2000’s Scorpion’s production boats were being driven by top powerboat drivers and amateur racers alike to dominate their classes in offshore racing. With a perfect safety record Scorpions continued to break endurance records and travelled further than anyone had done in small powerboats before.

“I have just finished as class winner and 4th overall in the 170 mile Cowes-Torquay-Cowes, the world’s toughest one day powerboat race, in a standard production Scorpion Sting with an inexperienced crew in some of the worst conditions the race has been run in. The boat was amazing… unbelievable…not for one moment did I feel we were at risk…just incredible.”

Safety, comfort
and performance

Success in offshore racing isn’t purely about speed. Safety, comfort and a soft dry ride that doesn’t fatigue the crew are just as important as performance. Scorpion’s unique design has such good sea-keeping characteristics owners can enjoy the full performance of their boat even in the fiercest conditions in complete confidence. And that peace of mind is reinforced by Scorpion’s legendary build quality and reliability.

“100 miles in six to ten foot waves, I have
never had so much fun in my life.”
